LYRICS:

At the North Pole, new satellite photos show arctic ice is melting so fast
Oh snap, how fast?
Many scientists now predict it will be gone within 30 years
Surely you jest––I'm under cardiac arrest, shawtayee
Some researchers think it could disappear in just 6 / SHIT
Without it, there could be a snowball effect (ohhhh)
With temperatures rising even faster
If we all don't take bold action and take it soon
Yeah, we will find ourselves on

Very thin ice (x4, building to harmony)
Tell 'em, Katie, we'll be on very thin ice
The temperatures rise
We have to solve this cri - i - sis
Of very thin ice

At the South Pole an ice shelf the size of Connecticut
Is in danger of melting
Whatcha trying to tell me?
Because the ice bridge that held it in place has shattered
Take back whatcha said––I'm feeling existential dread, shawtayee!
It's 1 of 10 ice shelves that have shrunk or collapsed / THAT'S BAD
Some were 10,000 years old (so ooooold)
Polar ice is the Earth's air conditioner
If we all don't take bold action, and take it soon
Yeah, we will find ourselves on

Chorus

Now it's 2019...the very thin ice is still liquefying
I agree with 2009 me: we should keep our glaciers nice and icy

At the UN, a new report emphasized just how dire the situation is
Shit, how long we got to live?
Adding rising populations to changes in rainfall and temperatures
I came back in time and the hurricanes done lost they minds, shawtayee
Here's hoping Congress comes together to act boldly (hopefully)
The health of the Earth should not be a political football (truuuuue)
Scientists say we can't afford to punt
If we all don't take bold action, and take it soon
Yeah, we will find ourselves on

Chorus x2

Baby, I'm back, came to the past 10 years from the future
We got gay marriage from the east coast to the left coast––no thanks to you, sir
And we got rid of the pirates; now the ocean's quiet
Put guns on the boats and now no one wants to try shit
Legalized weed in a few states
Other ones laggin but they take
Vacations to the good states
So they can all order postmates
10 years of schmoyoho
And the accent's still on the yo
Put a couple 0s on the sub count
Time to do the end of the video plug now

[amarion]

Schmoyoho:Andrew how much auto tune do you want?

Andrew:Yes, please.

[metalhed]

this song STILL gives me all the chills.

[kapwns]

tfw you remember the day the original came out and suddenly feel old.

[aaroncarrig]

This Auto Tune the News was one of my all time favorites. Thank you for resurrecting it.

[ikkuhishikawa]

How ironic
A video called very thin ice... Is fire

[egorsalad]

Oh god, I literally cried at the end of the vid. So good old memories.Thank you for the past 10 years 💋

[zachheilman]

Yeah but did she ever stop screening T-Pain's calls?

[sayhibobbi]

The rhymes are quicker, the greenscreen is slicker, the ice is...not improving one bit.

Happy Tenthiversary, you mad men (and Sarah).

[Macktube]

Lol "Shawty" is always my fav part

[MadMovieMakers]

Greenscreen skills increased tenfold (+25 XP)

[Jaster_Mereel]

Katie Couric was such an excellent unintentional singer.

[lazyperfectionist]

🎶 Don't leave me swinging in the wind 🎶
🎶 Until November 🎶
🎶 Until November 🎶

[FontaineCards]

This brought tears to my eyes. I was 14 when the original came out, thank you for keeping this going.

[captainnutella]

Damn, as soon as Katie Cou' Baby Boo started busting out those classic lines they all came rushing back, still perfectly memorized.

This was a nice tribute to the classics. They're still peak youtube content, even after 10 years.

[Psychadellia]

Aw man, I always loved the Katie Couric bars. Dropping rhymes like rain, shawTAYYY~!

[organicsugarcones]

I remember using one of those "YouTube loop" websites to listen to the very thin ice segment over and over back in the day. Also healthy, green, and lead free and pure poppycock... Katie really was the best autotunee. Congrats on 10 years, schmos, here's to 10 more and beyond!

[alg]

You won't be able to use this in 2029 as there will be no ice

[alextothehbro]

I'm a year late and damn, am I disappointed in myself. I was obsessed with auto tune the news in 2009. I still get these darn things stuck in my head. What an epic reunion.
