What is said

The parts of the video and what is said in each (★ — how much it matters to the video).

00:00:00 — Lost camcorder charger; farm footage at Mom and Dad's (chicks, pigs); invitation to film your reaction to the goat birth

  • ★★ Hank did lose his camcorder charger and has no way to record, so he uses footage he shot at his mom and dad's house. — 00:00:03 · Mike Green, Sydney Green
  • ★★★ Hank presents footage of a goat giving birth to a baby goat, warning that it is graphic and a little disturbing and telling squeamish viewers to stop. (playful) — 00:00:25
  • ★★ Hank invites viewers to pause and film themselves watching the goat birth, because he wants to see their reactions and couldn't see his own. (playful) — 00:00:32

00:00:44 — Warning and song: 'It was a goat giving birth to a baby goat' over the birth footage

  • ★★ In song, Hank calls the goat birth the miracle of life but really gross; all he wants is to turn the camera off and hide. (joke) — 00:01:05

    “It was a goat giving birth to a baby goat”

00:01:48 — Techno remix of the goat-birth song by Michael Aranda

00:02:44 — Thanks to Michael Aranda, the Katherine and Christie the goat (four kids); sign-off

  • ★★ Hank thanks Michael Aranda for the techno remix arrangement and the Katherine for singing harmony with him. — 00:02:44 · Katherine Green
  • ★★ Hank thanks Christie the goat for giving birth to four baby goats that day. (playful) — 00:02:52

Humor (dominant)

  • Hank prepares viewers for the sound of the goat birth. — 00:00:45

    “In my opinion, what you're about to hear sounds like a velociraptor puking.”

  • Over the birth footage Hank sings a solemn-sounding ballad about what he is seeing. — 00:01:10

    “It was a goat giving birth, oh god, that's really, really gross”

  • After the song ends, Hank announces a second version. — 00:01:48

    “no goat birthing video would be complete without a techno remix.”

  • Hank solemnly thanks Christie the goat for her four kids. — 00:03:01

    “My life will never be the same.”
