Hollabear Dust

Hollabear Dust is the 29th video posted on the official plantysan Youtube channel. It was first uploaded on May 24th, 2021. While the video is 4 minutes and 30 seconds in length, the song itself is only 2 minutes and 50 seconds long, with the remainder of the video taken up by an odd distorted message.

Composition
Hollabear Dust is comprised of three separate songs; Another One Bites the Dust by Queen, Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani, and the song Be Bearriffic from the in-game playlist of Build-a-Bearville, a now defunct children's MMORPG based around the company Build-a-Bear Workshop. Hollabear Dust notably combines the song Be Bearriffic with the instrumental version of Hollaback Girl, only using the vocal track to Another One Bites the Dust, layered over the two songs. The repetitive refrain of "ooh, that's my sh**" from Hollaback Girl can be heard during the chorus of Hollabear Dust, and the verse is included near the end.

Message
Despite the 4:30 length of the video, only about three minutes is actually taken up by the song. At 2:50 the screen fades to black. It fades back to display a distorted version of the thumbnail which has been flipped upside down and its colors inverted. Additionally, noticeable JPEG artifacts are visible on the image and visual glitching occurs in bars irregularly.

This imagery is accompanied by a rendition of the whistle riff in All Star by Smash Mouth, performed on a downtempo music box. Notably, the audio is heavily warped, with frequent pitch and speed shifts as well as static for the duration of the message. The riff repeats four times, before a text-to-speech voice recites several numbers. This pattern occurs three times and ends on a fourth riff. As the riff ends and the video fades, a deepened version of Tommy Wiseau's laugh plays over static.
