Lyrics
It could be ten, but then again

I can't remember half an hour since a quarter to four

Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa

And you leave me with my jaw on the floor



Just when you think you're in control

Just when you think you've got a hold

Just when you get on a roll

Here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again

Oh, here it goes again

I should have known, should have known, should have known again

But here it goes again

Oh, here it goes again



It starts out easy, something simple, something sleazy

Something inching past the edge of reserve

Now through the lines of the cheap venetian blinds

Your car is pulling off of the curb



Just when you think you're in control

Just when you think you've got a hold

Just when you get on a roll

Oh, here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again

Oh, here it goes again

I should have known, should have known, should have known again

But here it goes again

Oh, here it goes

Oh, here it goes

Oh, here it goes again

Oh, here it goes again



I guess there's gotta be a break in the monotony

But Jesus, when it rains, how it pours

Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa

And you leave me, yeah, you leave me



Oh, here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again

Oh, here it goes again

I should have known, should have known, should have known again

But here it goes again

Oh, here it goes

Oh, here it goes

Oh, here it goes again

I should have known

I should have known

But here it goes again

Oh, here it...

Oh, here it...

Oh, here it...

Oh, here it...

Oh, here it goes again

I should have...

I should have

I should have...

I should have...

I should have known

I should have known

Oh, here it goes again

Oh, here it goes again

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! Love it! The pacing, the frantic rush to finish, the Judges! This is my love for the show compacted into less than 3 minutes.

Thank you!

[valoise]

And OMG I just noticed who you added me in the opening credits. Kudos, festividder, well done.

And there's Geoffrey Zacharian, cool as ice and unruffled. I do kind of have a crush on him, that's for putting so much of him in it.

[astrothsknot]

i loved that bit.

[laurashapiro]

Hilarious! You have great comic chops (see what I did there).

[d_generate_girl]

I did not expect this to be possible (Chopped! Vidding! Together?!), but it was hilariously perfect. The best part was the After Hours bits and all the professional chefs' faces (Chris wiping Amanda's forehead! Alex and Aaron's potty mouths! Geoffrey cracking up!).

[kiki_miserychic]

Very cool editing to show all the judges.

Perf song choice too. I love how well you used it to build tension.

OMG, the monotony and when it rains it pours with all the spin off and sub shows, omg.

[bessyboo]

the monotony and when it rains it pours with all the spin off and sub shows, omg

THIS WAS MY FAVORITE PART, it was SO PERFECT

[echan]

AHAHAHA the warning for dead animal parts. :D

So much fun! And energy and FIRE and "5 second rule totally applies" and judges judging faces and "oh crap what am I doing now" and the afterhours and the hugs, all the Chopped goodness in a vid package.

[cupidsbow]

Who knew a bunch of cooking disasters would be so much fun to watch! Yeah, cook it. :)

[winterevanesce]

Ahahaha!! That was extremely entertaining and funny!

[rachelmanija]

Aww, that was adorable. You captured so much of the joy of the show. I loved your use of its captions and specials - after hours, Hallowe'en, the question mark for the poor chef with no clue what she was making - and the assortment of weird faces made by the judges and contestants. Just charming.

[elipie]

Ahhhh I don't even watch this show and I have SO MANY FEELINGS! This was incredibly well-paced and masterfully edited. Awesome job, anon!

[streussal]

This is DELIGHTFUL

[violace]

That was adorable and THOSE CREDITS ARE AMAZING. Took me a second watch to notice!!! So clever.

[leanwellback]

I have never seen Chopped, but oh my god this is such a great vid! What a perfect song choice for this kind of show, you really got that panic when time's running short or when things go wrong and the frantic energy across brilliantly! The "break in the monotony" section made me laugh out loud :D

[rhoboat]

Ahhh, you included the bloody finger bit! Definitely one of the more memorable fiascos on that show. This vid is wonderfully edited, and I enjoyed it lots.

[nicole_anell]

Eeeee! So much fun, great editing! I loved the sequence around 1:33 with all the same activities/parts of preparation mirroring each other. And of course all the Cooking Fails. Really entertaining vid. :)

[giandujakiss]

I winced and laughed the whole way through - and I loved your use of the credits!

[grammarwoman]

*cackling* That was so much fun!

[were_duck]

THIS WAS VERY CUTE! I laughed a lot especially at all the oopses and the things on fire :)

[condnsdmlk]

I loved this so much! Perfect from start to finished. Bonus Chopped After Hours was an added bonus and made me squeal (silently is you can believe) with glee. Most awesome! <3

[littleheaven]

LOL! Do not try this at home! I've never seen this show but I loved the impeccable editing and all the drama. I was half peeking through my fingers in case someone hacked one of theirs off ;o) Brilliant.

[frayadjacent]

yay, this is great! I loved your use of the show's credits and other promotional clips. :D

[astrothsknot]

the timing was perfect, there was such a sense of fun about the vid. you caught it perfectly

[niyalune]

I don't watch this but your vid was a lot of fun :D

[anoel]

Ahhh this is the perfect Chopped vid! I absolutely love how you structure the vid and use the show format to make it clear what goes on in the show. You chose the perfect mix of both food and cooking clips combined with the chef's themselves and their cute expressions and endless struggles in getting the food ready. I really love the energy of the vid and the cool use of graphics set to the music at 2:00 and 2:09 and how "here it goes again" also perfectly represents how the show keeps going on through many seasons and formats. So much fun, I love it!

[bessyboo]

I watch this show exclusively for Alex Guarnaschelli destroying men's egos, but omg, this vid gave me so many feelings about the FOOD, and the PROCESS, and it was just so CUTE AND DELIGHTFUL and I loved it. Perfect song, amazing editing, well done vidder :D

(also, I mentioned this on twitter, but at our Festivids party, this vid came up after a long series of VERY SERIOUS/SADDDDD VIDS, and it was a VERY WELCOME break from that so THANK YOU XD)

[bingeling]

Fun! I've never seen this show but I got stressed out watching your vid, so you did a brilliant job conveying the pressure and urgency!

[skygiants]

For the record, we watched this MULTIPLE times on the plane to and from vacation.
