Absolutely

**Absolutely** is the 25th video posted on the plantysan Youtube channel. It was first uploaded on May 12th, 2021. It was the first video posted after a 5 month absence following the upload of Sexy Forward, and the second full song uploaded since the release of Plantysan Originals: The Complete Season 1. Absolutely is similar to Sexy Forward in that rather than being a remix of one single song, it is a remix of one or more songs. However, it is notably different from Sexy Forward in the amount of discrete songs and artists used, as well as that it does not use any single song as a basis, and sports an original composition created from various musical stems and tracks.

Absolutely is notable for being, musically, the most complex remix uploaded to the channel to date, and among the most original tracks (alongside True Blue, hear it slappin, and Man Called Clambocious).

## Composition

Absolutely is a mash-up of several different songs, each providing various tracks to the songs, though most songs included only provide vocals. Notably, the song for which the remix is named, "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" by Nine Days, is audible for very little time at the very beginning and end of the song, serving mostly as a drone, filler, or bass track in the song.

Absolutely contains tracks from artists Nine Days, Lou Bega, The Police, Green Day, Third Eye Blind, and Billy Joel.

## Lyrics

This is...

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mambo No. 5

One, two, three, four, five

Everybody in the car, so come on, let's ride

To the liquor store around the corner

The boys say they want some gin and juice

But I really don't wanna

Beer bust like I had last week

I must stay deep because talk is cheap

I like Angela, Pamela, Sandra and Rita

And as I continue you know they getting sweeter

So what can I do? I really beg you, my Lord

To me is flirting it's just like sport, anything fly

It's all good, let me dump it, please set in the trumpet

A little bit of Monica in my life

A little bit of Erica by my side

A little bit of Rita is all I need

A little bit of Tina is what I see

A little bit of Sandra in the sun

A little bit of Mary all night long

A little bit of Jessica, here I am

A little bit of you makes me your man

Don't wanna be an American idiot

Don't want a nation under the new media

And can you hear the sound of hysteria?

The subliminal mind fuck America

Welcome to a new kind of tension

All across the alien nation

Where everything isn't meant to be okay

Television dreams of tomorrow

We're not the ones who're meant to follow

For that's enough to argue

I'm packed and I'm holding

I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden

She lives for me, says she lives for me

Ovation, her own motivation

She comes round and she goes down on me

And I make her smile, like a drug for you

Do ever what you wanna do, coming over you

Keep on smiling, what we go through

One stop to the rhythm that divides you

Rosenbergs, H-bomb, Sugar Ray, Panmunjom

Brando, "The King and I", and "The Catcher in the Rye"

Eisenhower, Vaccine, England's got a new queen

Marciano, Liberace, Santayana, goodbye

We didn't start the fire (doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo)

It was always burning, since the world's been turning (doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo)

We didn't start the fire (doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo)

No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it (doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo)

The sky was gold, it was rose

I was taking sips of it through my nose

And I wish I could get back there, someplace back there

Smiling in the pictures you would take

Stop to the rhythm, lift you up until you break

It won't stop, I won't come down (Joseph Stalin, Malenkov, Nasser and Prokofiev)

I keep stock with the tick-tock rhythm, I bump for the drop (Rockefeller, Campanella, Communist Bloc)

And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given (Roy Cohn, Juan Peron, Toscanini, Dacron)

Then I bumped again, then I bumped again (Dien Bien Phu falls, "Rock Around the Clock")

I said

How do I get back there, to the place where I fell asleep inside you

How do I get myself back to the place where you said

I want something else, to get me through this (A little bit of Monica in my life, a little bit of Erica by my side)

Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby (A little bit of Rita is all I need, a little bit of Tina is what I see, a little bit of Sandra in the sun)

I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-bye (A little bit of Mary all night long, a little bit of Jessica, here I am, a little bit of you makes me your man)

And I want something else, to get me through this life

Baby, I want something else (doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo)

Not listening when you say (doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo)

Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye, good-bye (doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo)

(Don't wanna be an American idiot)

(I want something else) The sky was gold, it was rose

(I want something else) I was taking sips of it through my nose

(I want something else) And I wish I could get back there

Someplace back there, in the place we used to start

And I want something else (I want something else)

And I want something else...

...The story of a girl.

## Trivia

* Almost every artist featured in the song is represented on the cover:
	+ John Hampson, the lead singer of Nine Days, is stretched out in the background
	+ Lou Bega appears at the bottom right of the cover
	+ Sting is behind and above Lou Bega, to the right of the Absolut bottle
	+ Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer of Green Day, is to the left of the Absolut bottle, turned 90 degrees
	+ Stephan Jenkins, the lead singer of Third Eye Blind, appears between Lou Bega and Sting, turned 270 degrees.
	+ Billie Joel is at the bottom left corner, under Billie Joe Armstrong, and appears to be catching a pokeball.
* However, two artists are unaccounted for;
	+ Phil Collins, who provides the backing drum track, and
	+ Lil Nas X, who is shown sitting at the top of the Absolut bottle, but does not have any audible tracks in the song.
* As of May 15th, 2021, Absolutely has the most comments out of any plantysan video, having 7 comments. All of the comments are from one user, three of which mention the word "plu".
* Tommy Wiseau is also featured on this track, with his laugh playing in a distorted manner at the very end. However, this is not reflected in the lyrics provided in the description. Whether this is intentional or not is unknown.
* The lyrics in the description of the video have errors:
	+ During the American Idiot verse and chorus, the lyrics show "Don't wanna be an American idiot/Don't want a nation under the new media/And can you hear the sound of hysteria?/The subliminal mind fuck America/Welcome to a new kind of tension"; however, the lyrics actually in the song are "Don't wanna be an American idiot/Don't want a nation under the new media/And can you hear the sound of hysteria?/The subliminal mind fuck America/Don't wanna be an American idiot/One nation controlled by the media/Information age of hysteria/Going out to idiot America", before continuing to the lines shown. It is possible this mistake was caused by copying the official lyrics to American Idiot and mistakenly copying the first verse and chorus, when the chorus in Absolutely is actually from the last chorus of the song.
	+ During the final bridge and chorus, the incorrect amount of background vocals ("I want something else") is shown. In the song, the backing track only says "I want something else" three times total, however in the lyrics it is written four times.
