Man Called Clambocious

Man Called Clambocious is the 19th video posted on the plantysan Youtube. It was first uploaded on April 4th, 2020. The video tied in with the brief story on the plantysan twitter of Clambocious Skeet, a friend of plantysan's mentioned to have contracted chlamydia. Man Called Clambocious was featured on Plantysan Originals: The Complete Season 1, as the 8th track. While the instrumental version was posted on Youtube, it is not available for download on the official bandcamp. The title may be a reference to the Adam Ant song Man Called Marco.

Composition
Man Called Clambocious is a mashup of vocal tracks placed over an originally composed instrumental track, comparable to Plantysan's Medley. It contains parts taken from Toto's Africa, Linkin Park's Numb, and the Backstreet Boys' I Want It That Way.

The song is recognizable by a clapping sample creating a slightly staccato but repetitive beat, with a bass drum creating a rhythmic backbeat. It contains a simplistic melody lead by a bubbling synth, with a deep saw serving as a bassline and a string pad used as a harmony. The last part contains a twinkling bell synth arpeggio. The song is notable for the heavy amounts of reverb and delay. Stylistically, it is very similar to True Blue, another song which places an original instrumental track under an existing song.

Storyline
Man Called Clambocious ties into the very brief story told on plantysan's twitter of a friend, referred to as Clambocious Skeet, who contracted chlamydia. The story may have begun on April 2nd, 2020, in a tweet that reads "always use a vpn on the internet. a friend of mine got the clap from youtube two months back and boy it was rough". In this case, while "the clap" is usually used to refer to gonorrhea, plantysan seems to use it to refer to chlamydia, as it is referred to by name in later tweets.

On April 4th, a tweet was made linking to the video for Man Called Clambocious, the body of which only reads "just recieved some very sad news". The description of the video states that the song is dedicated to "my dear friend clambocious skeet who died of da clap"[sic]. It is worth noting that while it is possible to die from complications related to chlamydia, it is rare for men.

On April 5th, a third tweet was posted, stating that Clambocious was, in fact, alive, and had been mistaken for dead after falling asleep for 16 hours. The tweet clarifies that Clambocious is still infected with chlamydia. Clambocious Skeet has not been mentioned since he was confirmed alive.
