Lyrics & Translation

[English]

It’s a glove! It’s a phone! It’s both - it’s the Glovephone!

Glovephone - talk to the hand!

Some of you are already familiar with the greatest tech gadget of all time.

Talk to the hand!

Ginger actually has one.

But he didn't want to share it last time.

Oh... I don't know...

Fortunately, he got bored with it pretty quickly and lent it to me…

...In exchange for a bag of candy…

And here it is - the Glovephone! First, the unboxing.

Ben, where is the box?

First, the unboxing. Aha… OK, that's the manual…

Charger's there... where is it… aha…

Glovephone - talk to the hand!

Wow! Isn’t it amazing! Now the Glovephone won’t work unless you wear it.

Clearly this is a kid’s size Glovephone and my hand is slightly bigger.

Glovephone - talk to the hand!

...and it's on. It’s a little tight, but it works!

The holographic display, the voice commands, and...

Did you know that Glovephone has a camera on the tip of the finger?

Just point and shoot.

- Glovephone. - Talk to the hand!

A great feature of the Glovephone is a gesture-actived social commenting.

Here’s a picture my friend posted and I can give it a thumbs up. Just like that.

But let’s not forget that the Glovephone is still a phone, so...

let’s call somebody. Angela, maybe!

Call Angela.

...I'm not home right now, I’m most likely in the studio recording my new song,

or relaxing in a yoga class.

Or maybe the guys made me so mad I went for ice-cream.

Ooh! I could be shopping.

Wait - what was I saying? Oh yeah!

Just leave a message after the tone and I'll get back to you! Ciao!

Alright. Well, maybe Hank will answer. Call Hank.

- Yes? - Hi, this is Tom, talk to the hand!

You talkin’ to me?

Yeah Hank, i’m talking to you. Well, actually my glove is haha!

Why do you call me "Hank", only my mother calls me "Hank"!

My name is Nervous Henry and I'm the heavyweight

wood chopping champion of the north.

Are you challenging me? Huh? Are you?

Oops. Uh. Wrong number!

Well, you've seen it for yourself.

The Glovephone works like a charm,

apart from the battery, which runs out pretty quickly.

Glovephone - talk to the hand!

I think it’s stuck to my hand.

Gotta get this thing off!

Oops! Well…

Thanks for watching. I’ll be back real soon with more cool stuff.

Subscribe to my channel! Bye!
