The Bidding: Why Nobody Wants You

I LOVE tHE BIDDNIGN :3

Imagine Tal analyzing "Your mother is a basketball"

What about the line for the Bourgeoisie? That’s gotta mean something

hm never thought bout that

PIKUNIKU MUSIC AGHHHHHHHHHHH

this title is too realistic

Tally ball is epic guys

tyla section got better

I thought that song was about how hard to please women are.

Dude I was gonna Tally start analyzing Tally all of Tally Hall and now you're Tally doing it too I gotta Tally my Hall quick

thanks for the encouragement. I'm finally going to take my own life.

The title is so cruel 😟

Is this the perfect time to say that The Bidding makes me think of just a gender swapped version of that one scene from White Chicks

I like another band like tally hall called the correspondents, I feel like they flew under the radar generally while the band existed and they have that kind of tally hall feel to most of their songs.

This is cool video 👍

Elephant green screen effect

My interpretation is that it's 3 people bidding for women but they all have issues

I already new, you didn’t have to explain it for me

Tylla is my favorite tally hall memer

I thought The Bidding was literally just an auction house selling away guys for dates

I still wonder where the thumbnail comes from

Aw thats just mean😥

I thought it was male prostitution…?

My interpretation is that each little verse (sleeping in a cardboard box, training like a Pavlov dog, been here like a thousand times, like to take advantage of the bourgeoisie) is a different man and the song is about a bidding, like an auction. The way it’s structured is two single men speak and make their case as to why these women should want them, and the auctioneer interrupts them again persuading the women to date these guys. Then at the end (I promise I’ll be all you’ll need) it’s all the men singing at once all pleading for these women to take them and showing how they all have the same goal: Be everything the woman needs (except the third guy, he’s probably lying to get the women to bang him) then it finishes with everyone including the auctioneer singing at once (So many ladies are wanting for mates) about the whole subject this song is talking about and it ends with one of the men being sold, which I see as up to interpretation. But this is an interesting analysis, I never thought about it that way.

tally balls

This is my favourite song in Marvin’s Marvellous Mechanical Museum. The instrumentals are really good. And the lyrics are fast paced and hit hard. It’s a great song.

This is how I see myself in the future lol,

Is there a music video for the bidding? Where did you get the background for the thing when you open it?

my theory is that the song takes place in an alternate universe where humans have abandoned the traditional concept of love and devalued it to having a monetary price. the guy is homeless and has a lot of problems such as alcoholism which makes his price really high, so not a lot of people bid on him. he reveals he's "been in like a thousand times" claiming that he has dated several women and has broken several hearts and got his heart broken as well. he also reveals he "graduated at the top" meaning he did really well in school and college, but nobody wants him because of his issues and his past. he eventually gets so desperate he tries and fails to convince any woman to bid him off, saying things like "i promise i'll be all you need" and "you'll never have to shop around", but nothing works because they're all too busy bidding other men because they're so desperate for love, they'll take anything they can get, which is why "the prospects are good but the dates never great". at the end he finally gets sold.

Tal, this interpretation is wrong. It’s obvious that the meaning is that this is a song.

the pikuniku music goes crazy

this song be hitting a little too close to home

why did you paint being homelss as a negative personality trait?

But he likes to take advantage of the bourgeoisie

my aro/ace ass watching this like "ah yes,,, romance... what a struggle;;;"

Not me thinking "parlov dog" was a breed of dog 😭

That title definitely isn’t depressing

I always thought it was multiple people who were all explaining the reasons why /why not to “bid on them “

You fumbled the bag hard on this video

Bad interpretation. It's different characters.

IVE BEEN SLEEPING IN A CARDBOARD BOX

It took me a while to realize the name of the song meant bidding as in auction, not bidding as in orders

when I heard the lyric “every man here has a price” and the song title I thought the song was about people selling men for actual money ☠️

blue moist critical thumbnail

All the tally hall fans like me are furries change my mind

STOP FINDING SECRET MEANINGS IN ALL MY FAVORITE SONGS

I always thought this was about prostitution lol

I always thought it was a different person each, so going with that narrative, the guy promising to never let down the lady that gets him, could have some dark implications depending on how you look at it, idk, the guy could be a manipulator and in the long run end up doing something so taboo that the price doesn't get mentioned, though I could be thinking too cynically, who knows maybe he does something like keep the winner in a dungeon or smth
