As a former trumpet player, I have to say... the brass stabs are insane. I was a semi-pro, but even at my very BEST... I didn't belong in the same ROOM with these guys! Love the Loops reactions! Keep it up!
The instrument you were wondering about is a double bell euphonium, and "livet är en fest" means "life is a party" in Swedish, but alludes to a song by a Swedish band called Nationalteatern.
Hahahahaha….loved the evil laughs at the end 😂👺🤣 Thanks all for doing another DLoops reaction 🙏 This Thriller is such a feel-good Thriller, and I bet it’s not only because of Henrik’s and everyone else’s secret smiles :) but also because it’s the jazziest and happiest Thriller ever, swung in 12/8. There is a podcast on Cory Wong’s channel ‘Cory an the Wong Notes’ where he and Henrik talk about the making of this track and the whole rest of the album. That middle instrumental section where some of the horn players change to the Double Bell Euphonium, the flute and the clarinet, reminds me of a James Bond soundtrack, going from an almost classical music vibe through to full on Big Band jazz. That db euphonium was around in the earlier days, giving you two different pitch ranges, and they say it also famously was used for smuggling grog into rehearsal venues. It’s lower bell was so big, you could hide a vast stash of bottles in it 😉 (not sure, but so I’ve heard). It’s rare to see one these days. And rarer even to see it used in anything other than classical music, or jazz maybe. And hey, Jonah putting on his shades, making evil faces and then turning into some kind of Stevie Wonder for the outro…! Henrik and Aron are hanging back a bit in this one- and still they manage to rip my head off. This is the funkiest, slappiest and jazziest Thriller 🔥🔥😉🔥🔥 and it’s what happens when you let all those guys and girls loose together. Cory, his horns (some of them members of Prince’s ‘Honheads’) and the Loops are a match made in heaven, I find. And not to forget, this was made during the early COVID and lockdown years. No gigs, no traveling, no rehearsing together, zilch. So it was all done in many different studios, in at least two different cities, in two different countries, on two different continents….. blows my mind, still 🤯 Glad you got to see this one, guys! ‘Turbo’, the title track from this album, is fire!! Keep ‘em coming 👍👍👍
We always love your comments (so much!), @fiddlestix3025. Thank you for the info, and the smiles!! A big learning for us was the DB Euphonium - so interesting and not sure we've seen this before (and if so, don't remember), and the twin studio setup. LOVE LOVE LOVE learning from you and the other LOOPIFIED friends here in the comments!! Thank you!
@@musikbyjh hey it’s my pleasure friends 👍 I’ve got most of the info from other cool DL commenters, so shout out to all of them! And I’m super stoked for your channel to do DLoops reactions, and for Melli to introducing you to them ✌️🤘 Can honestly not wait for your upcoming DL reactions ☺️😎👌
Someone else mentioned it, but that is a double bell euphonium. They ARE a real thing! They were never very popular, and no longer in use, really. I think they stopped even making them back in the 60s. The valves determine which bell you play out of (can't play from both at once). The larger bell is more mellow. The smaller is a little brighter. I've only seen them... never played one.
@@jonaslejon9975 thanks! Saw the link and have read it. I should have said it was a euphonium to begin with, but tuba got stuck in my head. My boys played both tuba and trombone.
Bwaaahaaahaaa! Y'all are having way too much fun.. Jeremy, your 'Vincent Price' cracked ME up!🤣 Personally I didn't care for MJ much, but you can't argue the fact that he cranked out some of the greatest hits in music history, and his music videos were top notch. I love how DirtyLoops changed up the time signature on this, and it still all fits and sounds funky as hell! They really know how to crank it out. This is on a similar level to what The Warning did with Metallica's 'Enter Sandman'.😉 Great review y'all.. thanks!😍👍👍👍

You know it's going to be a good day when you hear Jillian say "Dirty Loops day"! 😅😅😅 As always, thanks for a great and fun reaction. ❤ Love from Sweden!
Unless someone already said, they built two identical stages for this, the Dirty Loops half of the stage was filmed in Sweden, and the Cory half in Minneapolis. Very interesting production, looking at how they interact. Also, the trumpeter is Jon Lampley from the Stephen Colbert Late Show band :-)
You were looking at a double euphonium. They were invented in the late 1800's and played into the 1950's but now having a resurgence. The instrument being played was an oldie probably from the 30's or 40's. They were especially big in Europe.
I really enjoy Dirty Loops and your reactions. You reading some of the ending credits made me now have to find the videos so I can read all of them myself. ❤️🤗
Since you are getting to more jazz influenced stuff you might hit Snarky Puppy Lingus (with Larnell Lewis on drums) and JD Beck adn Domi. Matt needs to be on these if you do them. Ridiculous drum skills.
What’s even more amazing is that these 2 groups were not in the same location, each recorded their parts and then probably Aron mixed the video and audio and this is the end results … this is for all the songs done with Cory Wong and the Wong Notes …
Oh, wow, i have a lot to say about this, but I am only stopping in for a minute this time. Work, work, work, and I have to get back to it. I think Jeremy is thinking of Kazaa maybe? It was like napster. I loved this. Love the brass and winds. It's hard to groove to, but that doesn't make it any less brilliant.
This is one of those songs that they can add different instruments to. I personally love to hear the tuba, but I think the second bell was one of their pranks! This was so good; it brought back good memories with my kids listening to the LP vinyl, which I still have. I expected this on Tuesday, but I’ll take it on any day you choose. Hey to Matt! Jeremy, you cracked me up today!! And Jillian, the more you try to get him to hit the play button, the more he’s going to be silly!!!Catch y’all tomorrow!!!! 🎶 Cyd
Keeping you on your toes, Cyd!!! We like to switch things up sometimes ;-) Always great to see you, and thanks (as always) for being here with us!!! ❤️🥷🏻
It is a Double Bell Euphonium circa 1880-1960's, mostly popular 1910-1930's. They sound great, but only one bell is played at a time with one valve switching which bell is used. Mostly used by Marching Bands and a few devoted soloists. One US Marine Band member stated they use the second Bell to store their gloves when not wearing them.
The time signature is 12/8, rather than the flat 4/4 in which MJ recorded it. The instrument discussed is NOT a tuba; it is, in fact, a double-belled euphonium… and possibly the only usage of one in a pop tune EVER. The reason it has two bells is the smaller bell is brighter (like a trombone) and the larger bell is darker (more like a baritone horn). The smaller bell is accessed through a 4th valve which redirects the sound to the smaller bell.
It takes 1 or 2 listening to get used to the swing feel. And also the all different number of beats in the turnarounds. First time you get surprised every time in an almost disturbing way. Since the original is sooo worked in to the mind. :)
Yeah, there’s a lot that I really like how they morphed it slightly, and then there’s some stuff that just feels a little odd and takes some getting used to
The double belled euphonium was pretty common in European brass bands from 1900 to roughly 1950. Those, and the bands sort of faded away. They never gained traction in North America due to symphony snobbishness declaring them a gimmick. I found one in an old instrument cabinet in high school and started playing. Took a bit to figure it out but it totally outplays a regular euphonium, especially in the higher register where the small bell allows it to soar. You can even play harmony on it as the musician in the video was doing.
These Corey Wong sessions were recorded in different countries. The left side of the setup was in USA. The right side, Dirty Loops, was in Sweden. Talk about some production expertise, video and audio.
Composed, arranged and written by Rod Temperton, except the horns that where arranged by Jerry Hey. Wacko Jacko had as usual nothing to do with this composition either.

They're the Hornheads. They used to play with Prince.
AWESOME tidbit - thank you for this info!!!
They are totally, -world class 👌
Honestly I think this is one of the greatest covers ever done... by anyone... of anyone... ever.
Amen ☺️
The instrument you were wondering about is a double bell euphonium, and "livet är en fest" means "life is a party" in Swedish, but alludes to a song by a Swedish band called Nationalteatern.
Ah you just beat me to it. I was going to present my brilliant swedish translation - love from Denmark :-)
Love it! Thank you BOTH!!!

That’s awesome! That thing is crazy!
though, we've been saying this for years without considering it might have just been stuck on for a laugh :)
Stevie Wonder meets MJ
Yep. Jonah has previously said his greatest inspiration is SW, with MJ a close second.
Hahahahaha….loved the evil laughs at the end 😂👺🤣

It is a double belled Euphonium. Ambassador Jenks
Livet är en fest. It’s Swedish and originates from a famous Swedish song by ”National teatern”. Translates to “Life’s a party”.
Awesome!! Thanks for this info - love it!
"Dirty Loops!" - that says it all 😀😀😀😀😀😀
Could easily be a film score.

Now you're ready for "Turbo"!!!
In two weeks, friend! Next week, we have "Breakdown" lined up!! 🎉🚨
@@musikbyjhugh….already so much looking forward to hearing both those tracks with you guys 👍👍
It was Thriller with a rhythm like "The Way You Make Me Feel"
yes!
@@musikbyjh And that particular rythm is called "shuffle".
Brilliant! Simply a magnificent cover! To take an epic bass line and do a 12/8 shuffle....how in the world? Just...brilliant.
This version has more of a shuffel signature which I think is cool.
Love from ❤️🇸🇪
It swings so hard, like a dunny door in a tornado, my teacher used to say ;)
It’s got the feels for sure
Thank you Mellie!

Awesome! I loved all of this. The vocals are insanely good. I heard a little Stevie Wonder in there too. The horns and the drums!

Yeah, there’s a lot that I really like how they morphed it slightly, and then there’s some stuff that just feels a little odd and takes some getting used to
@@DreadDrum yeah 👍 I’m guessing you find that in all of their covers…

It's in 6/8 that is why it sounds a bit different
These Corey Wong sessions were recorded in different countries. The left side of the setup was in USA. The right side, Dirty Loops, was in Sweden. Talk about some production expertise, video and audio.
This is how the song originaly would have sounded if Stevie Wonder wrote it.
Great reaction as usual’, but i prefer when you’re 2 only to react. Too many words during the set. 😊
Sorry about that - it happens!!
Composed, arranged and written by Rod Temperton, except the horns that where arranged by Jerry Hey. Wacko Jacko had as usual nothing to do with this composition either.
Thanks for the info, Miles!
06.55 mins mark: In your capacity as an audio engineer, I'm surprised you made no reference to the extreme low end that's happening here...
We don't catch everything on the first go-round, especially when a video is involved. Thanks for watching and the comment!
I hear ya...there's a lot going on with these guys, to be fair...
No the tuba us a real thing and not that unusuall either. Sorry to say you're so "hyped up" you're missing almost everything musically
Awwww... :(
We just love some dirty loops! ❤
