For It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia fans who missed it, we wanted to share one of our favorite viral videos from the last year. Featuring Irish drummer, David Dockery; Prince‘s former bassist, MonoNeon; and, of course, a good old fashion Charlie rant, this series of videos shows what happens when music and the Internet combine.
Most Always Sunny fans are familiar with the classic episode, “Sweet Dee Has A Heart Attack”—the tenth episode of season four—when Charlie and Mac pose as mailroom workers at a company to get health insurance, and Charlie potentially stumbles into a conspiracy theory involving an individual named Pepe Silvia and Carol of HR. In the new videos, David Dockery perfectly punctuates Charlie’s ravings as he explains his theory to Mac, and the two argue about it.
Of course, MonoNeon has become known in his own right for his rhythmic translations of popular media on the bass. Once Dockery’s video took off, MonoNeon added his own playing to the video, working off Dockery’s parts and adding in his own bass line to the argument. You can check out both videos and the progression below.
(Side note: as a fun fact about the roots of Charlie’s conspiracy, some anonymous geniuses on the Internet have posited that Charlie, who’s known for his difficulties with reading comprehension, is misreading Pennsylvania as Pepe Silvia and the attention line, Care of HR, as Carol of HR, which makes a lot of sense but totally blew my mind.)
At the fourth-annual Brooklyn Comes Alive, MonoNeon will be on hand to pay tribute to his former collaborator, Prince, with the all-star Purple Party set. Brooklyn Comes Alive will return to Brooklyn’s beloved Williamsburg neighborhood on September 29th for an all-day music marathon at Brooklyn Bowl, Music Hall of Williamsburg, and Rough Trade. Inspired by the vibrant musical communities of Brooklyn and New Orleans, Brooklyn Comes Alive brings together more than 50 artists, allowing them to carry out passion projects, play with their musical heroes, and collaborate in never-before-seen formations.
