Stew and Friends #11 Gary Come Home (Gary's Song)

This video does not belong to me. The original video that was uploaded to YouTube was recently set to private. I found the video online and re-uploaded to YouTube for all to enjoy!

My cat Gary died last night. I can’t stop playing this and crying. Love you buddy. RIP Gary.

The pianist truly understood how legendary this song is. Man was playing with passion😂

[brendankirbyacoustics]

Does this guy even realize this silly little song he wrote for Nickelodeon is a staple for all of our childhoods…not to mention he did not have to go that hard.

[IsmaelSalazar]

They were all laughing while I'm here crying in my room. Beautiful song.

[tupslmao]

I wonder if he truly knows the impact he had on people with that song, and how its forever burned into some of our brains

[lemonademan]

Man... this song is too well-written for a kids' show in an episode about their pet snail running away.

[ThePissedOffOwl]

The uploader isn’t the hero we deserved but the one we needed

[iiied]

Imagine listening to this song live. If he's crying, you should be too

[tiffanyllynn]

This is art. Like they have no clue how legendary this song is

[rpdizzy]

He needs to perform this song in front of people who grew up with the episode…

[anchovygod]

the fact that no one was singing along tells me all i need to kno about the audience

[allythebean]

If I was drunk in a bar and this guy got on stage and sang this I would be ugly crying and singing along GARYYY WHYYY

[weirdboipete]

He went as hard as Phil Collins did on Tarzan's soundtrack

[notsirleonvira]

this is the only song i know capable of bringing me to tears

[TwentySeventhLetter]

I love this specifically because it's such a silly premise for a song, it's such an absurd starting place that you have to go along with to get invested in, much like SpongeBob as a show in general. You have to place yourself in a more childlike, wondrous headspace to realize that it's not about the details of who's missing or what the plot of the episode was, this is a song about losing a pet, a friend, a loved one, and it is unrelentingly honest and heartfelt in every fucking note. The fact that it's so silly also let's you come up for air amid your tears with giggles at how funny it is you're crying over a lost cartoon snail, and at how wonderful it is some people were capable of writing a story so silly and yet so meaningful that it's both accessible and important to young children. This is why I will always cherish Spongebob as critical viewing for basically anyone under the age of 30.

Well, here I am, a 26 year old man crying over a song about a cartoon snail.

[Qwahchees]

Honest to god I wish there was a studio version of this, keyboard is just phenomenal

[andrewvincent]

‘I won’t spill the salt in the kitchen Gary’ such a legendary adlib 😅

[Alotofmangos]

"Everyone got a snail in their life" he knew he wrote this song as a true heartbreaking masterpiece for anyone experiencing losing something they loved. What a Legend ❤️

[mrgaud]

"Hey man I need you to write a song about a snail running away from home..." "No it makes perfect sense.. He's friends with a sponge"
