"If Oprah Winfrey Farts in a Bathtub And No Bubbles Come To The Surface is There An Alternate Universe Where Gas is Cheap?"


This is "Atlantis" performed live, I decided to another version of this to get see two different versions of the same poem. This one opened with a cough rather than the sound of music. Certain parts of this one was sped up when he was talking, I feel like there was more emotions behind this one. I love his facial expressions during certain jokes and his hand movements. He was able to pause with the jokes because the audience was laughing. However, I still like the other version better, it was kind of like reading a book and seeing it a certain way then watching the movie only to realize it was nothing like you pictured after all. I always enjoy that in Shane Koyczan poems they always involve body language, which makes everything easier to picture. In this version the poem no longer seems like a love poem to me it just seems like another one of his pieces of amazing work.
