Passionate comedic music song breakdown from @owencutts

The creator introduces his 'Old Music Friday' series and the song 'Everyday People' by Sly and the Family Stone. He plays a clip, then passionately and comically breaks down a specific musical element he calls a 'Bambernat,' explaining it as an indicator that the main part of the song is coming. He then plays the next section of the song to prove his point, celebrating the arrival of the vocals and cowbell with exaggerated joy and demanding 'more cowbell' before singing along to the chorus.

Transcript excerpt

New music's cool, but have you ever heard old music? Welcome to old music Friday. Have you ever heard Everyday People by Sly and the Family Stone? Shut up. Would you be bad? You can't just bad me coming in with the steadiest groove and just a couple of piano chords and then you ban't bad me better me know that something is about to happen. Music is built up with tiny little indicators guiding us through. And this particular indicator, Bambanet, is telling us that Sly and a big fat cowbell is on its way. You stupid. More cowbell. I am everyday people. The singing members of Sly and the Family Stone proclaim I am everyday.
