Its Not Easy To Be Dave Green (Five For Fighting Parody) @Zo%C3%ABDoesThings-h5j

ZoëDoesThings There once were two brothers who become extremely popular YouTubers, and then there was Dave. Who is this Dave, I hear you ask? Well, I thought I'd make this handy little video explaining everything. And of course, because it's my channel, I have to explain it through the medium of MUSICAL PARODY.
DEAL WITH IT.
OR DON'T DEAL WITH IT.
BUT I KIND OF HOPE YOU DEAL WITH IT.
NO PRESSURE THOUGH.

Also I apologise for the simplicity of the video, I was going to make something more but my computer automatically downloaded imovie11 and it makes NO SENSE. I can barely edit on the damn thing. Why Apple, WHY.

The original tune is "Superman" by Five For Fighting. Hope you enjoy my take on it :)

The lyrics:

I don't make videos online
I've never won an emmy
I'm just out get
That promotion at Wendy's

I'm more than a third
brother of John and Hank
Who when I'm mentioned
can only draw a blank
It's not easy to be Dave Green

I don't want the fame
I just want to be
More than my last name
It's not the defining part of me

Sure I study soil, and accounting too but
I hope you'll agree there's more to me
than eating play dough and playing my flute
I hope you'll agree there's more to me
And it's not easy to be Dave Green

Why won't my brothers acknowledge me
Why can't they see
The poop wasn't put in the nintendo by me

I don't make videos online
My books aren't made into movies
But I don't understand
Why that makes me make believe

I'm more than a third
brother of John and Hank
Who when I'm mentioned can only draw a blank
I'm more than a third
brother of Hank and John
An extra sibling to be forgotten
Forgotten
Forgotten

I am a Dave not just a dream
Not just an additional unsuccessful Green
I am a Dave not just a dream
It's not easy
It's not easy to be Dave Green

NOTE: If you're not a Nerdfighter, this video will make no sense. I repeat, this video will make no sense. So... sorry about that. If you want you can go have a look at the "Dave Green" tag on Tumblr to get up to speed, but if you don't want to I totally get it. No offence taken. Go watch that cat video you were thinking of watching instead. No not "Sail" you've seen that loads of times... Yeah that one. The one where it's wearing the funny hat- can't go wrong with a cat in a funny hat. Good choice.

Get Ready With Me! - Dungeons and Dragons: The Twenty Sided Tavern

ZoëDoesThings 2025-01-22 | Hey y'all! This is a lil Get Ready With Me video for a show I'm in at the moment - the magic and mayhem started on this channel so it felt fitting to share the fun here 😄 xx

Dont Socially Distance Your Heart | Total Eclipse Of The Heart Parody

ZoëDoesThings 2020-03-22 | (first things first, language warning: 3:54. I'd wash my mouth out with soap but soap is a rare and hot commodity these days)

So... Hey internet! I haven't made a video in, what, 5, 6 years? How yah been? I mean, considering how odd the world is at the moment I'm sure trying times abound, but I hope you're all safe and well. I'm currently in self quarantine after coming home from overseas, and got myself thinking that it's probably the perfect time to start making videos again - something I've been wanting to do for ages, especially since the YouTube community used to be who I turned to when I needed a creative outlet. And what better way to begin than with a nice, calm, completely normal video artistically touching on topical matters.

This may be the greatest thing I've ever made or the biggest smoosh of ridiculousness that's ever emerged from the depths of my insanity. Either way, hope it makes you laugh.

Can't wait to chat with you all. Sending love xxx

The Australian Christmas Song

ZoëDoesThings 2014-12-22 | Greetings comrades! I hope you're all excitedly stringing up tinsel and basking in the wondrous glow of fairy lights in preparation for CHRISTMAS!!! I did however have some frustration to vent before I could enjoy the holiday completely- frustration mainly focused on how crummy a summer Christmas is in comparison to the delightful winter Christmas picture I have in my head. Hope you enjoy it, and I'll see y'all in the new year!! xx

For anyone interested, the chords and lyrics!

Capo 4
Verse: G C G D / G C D G
Chorus: C G D G / C G D G
(I think- I'm not completely sure, I'll have to check)

The snowflakes are falling, and the fire is calling
And the smell of gingerbread is filling the air
And eggnog or tea is all that you need
And the hand-crafted stockings are hung up with care
The stories and days are filled with snowmen and sleighs
And the warm Christmas jumper that fills you with cheer
You sit back and be glad and think "Life's not so bad"
Coz you're not one of the suckers in the southern hemisphere

Coz while you're snowball fighting, we're down here slowly dying
From thunderstorms or heatstroke, with sweat in our eyes
And it gets hard to hear wishes of Christmas cheer
When the air and your ears
Are bombarded with flies

If it's not so damn hot that your face is melting off
(And from the humidity you cannot hide)
Then the thunderstorms wail and are blowing a gale
And you'll get pelted with hail if you dare go outside
You think Christmas is white? Well the air con and melting ice
cream are the only white things I'll ever find
And the kid with the pool is the coolest in school
Until the gallons of chlorine turns everyone blind

Coz while you're snowball fighting, we're down here slowly dying
From thunderstorms or heatstroke, with sweat in our eyes
And it gets hard to hear wishes of Christmas cheer
When the air and your ears
Are bombarded with flies

The beach is no fun when you've got a sun
That's not filtered by an o-zone layer and burns you to a crisp
The sand whips your legs and sun-screen comes out in dregs
And with all of the blue-bottles, it's not worth the risk
And though it is true, I love a barbecue
So do all of the mozzies and ants on the lawn
And the poisonous snakes, well they don't take a break
Just coz thousands of years ago some kid was born

Coz while you're snowball fighting, we're down here slowly dying
From thunderstorms or heatstroke, with sweat in our eyes
And it gets hard to hear wishes of Christmas cheer
When the air and your ears
Are bombarded with flies

But don't get me wrong, when Christmas comes along
We still celebrate, we're grateful for being alive...
No that's it, that's literally why, we're just glad we've survived
Another year without getting poisoned or stung or bitten or drowned or eaten alive

Coz while you're snowball fighting, we're down here slowly dying
From thunderstorms or heatstroke, with sweat in our eyes
And it gets hard to hear wishes of Christmas cheer
When the air and your ears
Are bombarded with flies
I do love Christmas, but it's hard I confess
When your skin is as burnt as the holly is red
Please forgive all our jeering at your Christmas cheering
It's because this whole bloody country...
It just wants us dead.

Hands

ZoëDoesThings 2014-01-22 | I'm not exactly sure from which corner of my brain the idea for this video sprouted... I'll be interested to see whether anyone else enjoys it. I mean, I've got to HAND it to you guys, your feedback is very HANDy. Are these puns a HANDful, or do you think you can HANDle them?
Ok I'll stop now xx
