(LYRICS)

[Intro]
Could you turn my up headphones? Turn up my head- or
I'm the only one in here, so, I'm gonna turn up my own headphones, for myself. Thank you! You're welcome

[Chorus]
Tryna make microwave popcorn
In a microwave
I am on that wave
I am on that wave
Tryna make microwave popcorn

[Verse 1]
I take the packet out the plastic (Takin' out the plastic, brrt)
Reading the directions on the back of the package (Ooh)
Orville Redenbacher, you're a savage (You a savage)
So let's get crackin' (Tryna make microwave, ayy)
I put the packet on the glass (What glass?)
The little glass dish in the microwave (Got it)
I close the door (Which door?)
The door to the microwave! What is wrong with you?!
You follow all the rules when you're a studious guy (Step one)
Insert the packet, set the power to high
Cook for one and a half minutes to two and a half minutes (Mm, kind of a wide range)

[Chorus]
Tryna make microwave popcorn (Bippity bippity bop)
In a microwave (Brrt)
I am on that wave
I am on that wave
Tryna make microwave popcorn

[Verse 2]
The popcorn's done (Thank God!)
I open up the door, I take it out
Ooh, ah, chhh, goddamn, that's hot (Super hot!)
Makes sense (I burnt my fingies)
I open up the packet (The packet)
It smells smoky and the kernels are black, shit (No!)
I burned it (No!), I burned it (For real?)
Yes, for real-- Do you think you're helping by saying all this? (Tryna make microwave)
I'm givin' up (I'm done cookin' popcorn)
I'ma eat a bag of Skinny Pop (It's already popped!)
I look back at the microwave, wait a minute
How'd I miss this button? There's a button and the button says

[Chorus]
"Popcorn" (Oh, no!)
On the microwave (There was a button that said popcorn?!)
I am on that wave
I am on that wave (I shoulda hit that button) (Brrt)
Tryna make microwave popcorn (Tryna, make, micro, wave) (Bippity bippity bop) (Jiffy Pop)
In a microwave (Guys, stop) (Tryna, make, micro, wave) (Agh, got a kernel in my throat, aghhh) (Brrt)
I am on that wave (Guys, get off--) (Tryna, make, micro, wave) (Brrt, brrt)
I am on that wave (Everyone's talking at the same time; can everyone just shut— Shut— Shut up!) (...Christmas ornaments) (Movie theater butter)
Tryna make microwave popcorn

This man really woke up one day, made some popcorn and decided to write a whole ass song about the experience

[leesabee]

Thats where my trust issues began...the "popcorn" button on the microwave always burnt my popcorn.

[NathaniaDemecillo]

"I close the door?"
"Which door?"
"The door to the microwave! What is wrong with you?!"

[hungryartist]

0% drugs
0% boob
100% microwave popcorn

[westpets]

2:16 bro still did the lyrics, what a legend

[Hallownexuz]

Bo burnham is that one dude that will do the most bizzare shit out of nowhere

[malangshaachari]

I loved that line when he said "What is wrong with you?!" Sounds so realistic... made me feel like he was literally angry 😠 at that time... 😆😉

[madsenproductions]

This song just describes what goes on in my head when I try to do anything ever

[Privacymode]

It reminds me of when I tried to make microwave popcorn at my job but burned it so badly the smoke alarms went off and I almost burnt down the building. Good times.

[butterbreaded_]

I love when he said “Thank you, you’re welcome” because he’s practically alone

Also I love the “brrt”s in the song lol

[jasperjazzie]

i can never make microwave popcorn anymore without quietly going "i put the packet on the glaasss...the little glass dish in the microwaaave..." to myself

[inventorofducks]

Bo Burnham makes the most funniest, yet relatable songs ever.

[Idek_channel]

This song is just beautiful, it inspires me so much. The songwriter is a genius…

Truly a masterpiece

[StormtrooperFN-]

"Agh, got a kernal in my throat, AGHHH-" in the back vocal is the funniest shit ever

[sorryimintoshortguys]

Here it is. The reason I love Bo Burnham so much

[DwynTwo]

I've been repeating the "what is wrong with you" ten times now and I still can't stop laughing

[Tarks_Coady_EFC]

When you're happy you enjoy the music but when you're sad you understand the lyrics 😢😢😢

[TrainHunterYT]

2:00 So... who's gonna tell him that most Popcorn brands say *"DO NOT USE POPCORN BUTTON!"*
