Jack was part of the band Joose, who played several live shows and released multiple albums starting in 2014. On their YouTube channel they have uploaded several live shows and singles. He was also the lead singer of Zaki.
Jack also publishes under the name Jack Stauber's Micropop, which releases extended versions of Jack's short YouTube songs found on his channel. Extended versions are often released early for Jack's patreons. So far there are four Micropop EPs.
Jack's music genre is generally folk, indie, and avant-pop. Jack's youtube channel features a multitude of different videos, which typically include "ms-paint animation", 3D animation, stop/clay-mation, and other mixed media. The effect that they possess is generated by genuine VHS Tape development and recording. Themes within the videos may be that of a typical song or something more cryptic in nature. Many of them are super-catchy. He has also gained the attention of Adult Swim, and has made both an "adult swim smalls" and a whole mini-series called "SHOP: A Pop Opera"
Those Eggs Aren't Dippy
Jack Stauber's Micropop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cut my life expectancy
Have me under close inspection
Let me in your ear
Stop′ pout' hear me out no less
Those eggs aren′t dippy and I don't want to die
I want a bit of love too
Those eggs aren't dippy and I don′t want to die
More than pulling out a tooth
I wanna be close to you′ alright
And singin' a softer tune
You miss a feeling
The smell of the kitchen
See me singing sideways
Hang me from the highway
You miss a real egg
A fall to submission
Seeming, but sideways
Hang me from the highway!
Ahh-ahh-da-da-da
Like, ah-oh
Break ′round your desperate games
A prize (A prize)
Going down' raining love (Time to stop)
Nothing
Trip on a reminiscent time out of the doorway
Run into a-botherin′
Buck, buck, buck' buck!
Could ya come and then I caught it, all I wanna be is sane
Let′s all regroup again
Buck, buck, buck, buck!
Who'll talk about a gentle ton about you
When you wanna love and never give out something?
Buck, buck, buck, buck!
Have you seen my heart start up?
(Dripping eye, dissecting me)
(Cut my life expectancy)
(Those eggs aren't dippy and I don′t want to die)
(I want a bit of love too)
(Want to die)
(Want to die)
(Want to die)
(Want to die)
(Want to die)
(W—)
The lyrics to Jack Stauber's Micropop's song "Those Eggs Aren't Dippy" are open to interpretation, but there are some themes that can be pulled out. The song seems to be about the singer's desire for love or connection and their fear of death, specifically around eating undercooked eggs. The line "Dripping eye, dissecting me/Cut my life expectancy" suggests a fear of disease or contamination from undercooked eggs, which the singer wants to avoid. They also say "I want a bit of love too/I wanna be close to you," suggesting a longing for a romantic connection.
The rest of the lyrics are more abstract and difficult to parse. The line "You miss a real egg/A fall to submission" is particularly unclear, but could suggest a longing for something real or authentic. A lot of the lines seem disconnected from each other, but all revolve around themes of longing, fear, and confusion. The music video for the song is similarly strange and features bizarre imagery and colors, adding to the overall sense of confusion and disorientation.
