Zach Sherwin is an American comedian, rapper, writer, and actor best known for writing for and performing in the Epic Rap Battles of History YouTube series, as well as writing for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend on The CW. He specializes in comedic rap.
Back in 2011 under the name MC Mr Napkins he published this AMAZING comedic rap video on a bee that had his full attention in Central Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Zach writes the following:
This is a rap about a mean bee. The song was inspired by an actual bee who used to dive-bomb me while I sat outside and wrote raps at my old apartment in Central Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts. I'm not allergic to bees, or particularly scared of them normally, but this thing was so confrontational that I did actually feel compelled to run away from it in fear and hide in my hallway. This BEEf was going down in the summer of 2008; I looked up the average lifespan of bees on Wikipedia, and it's several months at best. But while the bee who was the subject of this song is definitely dead by now, I hope this video will make him immortal.
Do yourself a favor and watch this rap video below. Stunningly good!
I have this porch at my apartment where I like to sit outside and write my rhymes
It's not a bad place to work
But there's this bee with a nest nearby that always flies up in my face while I'm writing
Yo
He flies at me aggressively
He seems to like to mess with me
With fear I see the Aggressive Bee
Yesiree, don't think less of me
But I'm afraid of the Aggressive Bee
Especially when he attacks
And I'm just minding my own beeswax
I try to freeze and breathe deeply
Try to wait out the bee till he leaves me
But he won't let me be
So I get the "Let me be, bee!" heebie-jeebies
Got my defenses up
My teeth clench, whole body tenses up
Should I sing "Roxanne" or something?
Cause, that little jerk is all about Sting
Does he buzz? Sure he does
He's furious. I'm surr-ious!
Not a joke for your funnybone
He's the Attila the Hun of the honeycomb!
And a ring of black and a ring of yellow
And he gets me wound tight like a string on a cello
He makes me want to frickin' yell and bellow!
Aggressive Bee (oh!)
He flies at me (huh?)
Aggressively (yo!)
I guess he'll be (rrr!)
The death of me (aaow!)
With fear, I pee in my Levi's
The Aggressive Bee flies
No jive - he isn't terrified of me
And it's kind of a surprise to me
Cause he's like one-thousandth the size of me -
Teeny!
Have a pollen-tini, chill yourself
If you sting me, you'll kill yourself!
That ain't worth it, kiddo
You don't wanna make your queen a yellow-and-black widow
That's not what I want for you
See, the truth is, Bee, I'm fond of you
And I feel a bit of a bond with you
Man, I even wrote this song for you!
But even if I made the bee appear sweeter
I'm not tryin' to be his cheerleader
His hostility is excessive
The bee's aggressive
That bee's, aggressive! The bee, he's aggressive!
That bee's, aggressive! The bee, he's aggressive!
He's B-E-E A-G-G, R-E-S-S-I-V-E!
Aggressive Bee (OH!)
He flies at me (HUH?)
Aggressively (YO!)
He says "B-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z"
He's the Aggressive Bee!
Check it out y'all!
Put on the red light!
Bee, you don't have to put on the red light!
Oh, he's the Aggressive Bee
