The clip is fun and playful, showing the pair in various situations, such as hunting for treasure by digging holes on the beach in the rain, driving around in a golf cart, and singing and playing guitar, to an audience including a human skeleton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;GYB&#8217; got its inspiration from a real life story of a friend who was stuck in a situationship with a guy who needed a wake-up call. Speaking about the track, the band says,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTony\u2019s composition came to him swiftly, and the lyrics were a fun journey, just like creating the whole song.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the release of &#8216;GYB&#8217;, Laughing Cats have followed it up with a further 4 tracks, including &#8216;Love On Fire&#8217;, released this month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the music video for &#8216;GYB&#8217; below, and find out more about Laughing Cats and their music online on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/laughingcatsmusicworld?igsh=OXBxYWxjNHR1ZmJ0&amp;utm_source=qr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_laughingcats_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/16C6VFSx1A\/?mibextid=wwXIfr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/2f3z6IPGfomCl9FsJeyb8d?si=eBrpgT_hRXGaEOi5OVFZTQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/gb\/artist\/laughing-cats\/1760014213\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apple Music<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_87716\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dSdTZ3judPs?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"GYB OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/dSdTZ3judPs\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Released on October 25, 2024, &#8216;GYB&#8217; is the debut single from Laughing Cats&#8217; album, &#8216;Funny Money&#8217;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":90683,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"Released on October 25, 2024, 'GYB' is the debut single from Laughing Cats' album, 'Funny Money'.
