Major tbt! This video had 150k+ views at the time it was blocked 5 years ago by YouTube.
Since then YT has renegotiated copyright practices with many major music labels -- including the label that holds the rights to this song -- to allow use of some songs on videos. I've tried to get them to unblock the original video file that's still hanging out (visible and playable by me) on my account, but haven't been successful with that.

Add to all of this I was under the impression that the original video file had been lost on an old external HD and the only option I was going to be left with was to rip a low quality version from youtube.

A little while back I found an original, unedited copy, and I'm pleased to re-upload this major throwback that a lot of you OGs, that I connected with way back in the beginning (when I was living abroad in China for a year!!), and who've stuck with me through the years on this journey of life, will remember.

I appreciate you all! Your positivity and kindness on the original video were both humbling and honoring as a young kid creatively exploring his love of languages.

BTW I bought that shirt online because I thought it was dope (wow *nerd*) -- it's a pun: "Giraffe Paper | Graph Paper" -- not one single person has ever 'gotten it' which just speaks unkindly to how big of a nerd I am. *cryface* Thanks everyone, ya heartless for not gassin me up in the comment section back in the day for my sickkk shirt!!
