I am a fan of Electric Callboy and I’ll tell you. This was a Dream Collab for me. Two bands both equally as goofy and metal as one another. I knew this would slap hard
@@MaeFaeCh Essential hits to know, in the rough increasing order of "average amount of force" (that is heaviness): Everytime We Touch, Spaceman, Tekkno Train, We Got the Moves, Pump it, Hypa Hypa. Each one, just as Ratatata, is also a masterpiece of a (comedy) music video. We Got the Moves seems to be generally considered their best song to date
If interested, some other modern electro-metal bands I can recommend to check: Hanabie (a Japanese band I love even more than Babymetal) - "Be the GAL" (if like, then "OTAKU", "Pardon Me, I Have To Go Now"), Ankor (Spain) - proabably first "Embers" (if like, then "Darkbeat"), Bad Omens (U.S.) - "Death of Peace of Mind" (maybe "V.A.N.")
@@EwanMarshall Everytime we Touch is for sure the most innovative. For the first time, there they did a switch between soft and heavy within the same 4-liner of breakdown: "Cause every time we touch.. I don't wanna be without you, no . Cause every time we... No, I don't wanna be without you". They kind of did this again in Ratatata at the end of breakdown: "Fu, fu. So hear me now. Fu, fu. You know what I want. Fu fu. Now everybody's getting down". I am excited to see if soon we will get a song where like the whole chorus is like that
Electric Callboy is a German band that describes their musical style as "partycore" - upbeat metalcore, mixing in EDM, synth, house and pop elements. They don't what them seriously, and they take that very seriously. If you want to go down the EC rabbit hole, I would say first to watch the live version of this. And then "We Got the Moves", "Tekkno Train" and "Every Time We Touch" (which yes, is a cover of the Cascada song from like 20 years ago).
This was a true 50-50 collab between these two bands. The guys in Electric Callboy have talked about how they wanted it to feel like both their songs and not just one band featuring on the track of the other. I think they succeeded. EC is amazing. High energy metal with some electronic and 80's music style influences. Their videos are always super well produced and fun. They don't take themselves too seriously and usually play to humor.
all of them can sing Leave the otherworldly Vocals to Su Leave the Growls to Momo Leave the Being Cheeky on stage to Moa it's Moa thing come on guys we all know that
The video was produced by one of electric callboys guitarists and his brother who own a video production company together that does all of ECs music videos
Oh you'll have a blast with Electric Callboy!! I recommend the songs - Hypa Hypa - We got the Moves - Pump it - Tekkno Train - Everytime we touch - Mindreader - Parasite The last two are more serious songs but easily as awesome as their goofy ones. Enjoy!
A lot of the forward-thinking old guard metallers welcomed BABYMETAL into the metal scene. The rest are just old men clinging on to whatever it was they think they had. Metal will never be the same. I remember the Anthrax/Public Enemy collab dropping back in the day and was blown away. Same with this track. Granted I'm a BABYMETAL otaku but that shows the power of Ratatata. PS: I still play Arise (album) every day. Sepultura are as iconic as BABYMETAL. My ears are blessed.
Metal is about pushing boundaries and experimenting with different ideas and themes, it's why there are so many sub-genres. Babymetal fits right in despite what some gatekeepers might believe. It's about expressing yourself, damned what anyone else thinks or says. It's about having fun and love of the music itself. I personally love when musicians branch out and mix genres. It always makes for really interesting and fun new sounds and vibes.
The fact that BabyMetal were wearing Fox ears (yes, technically they were cat ears) was amazing. The girls being goofy just makes them more adorable. To be fair, Su pretty much sang most of Kingslayer. But I get what you’re saying. Momo really brought a new level to BabyMetal with her growls.
This song was basically the collab I never knew I needed. There was just something wholesome about the dad energy happening from the Electric Callboy guys haha. Also fun fact about the ending part of the song: During the live parts this song was sung, Momometal would also add her own growls/screams alongside EC's Kevin. It's so cool!
Most of EC's videos are well produced (this was their normal video production company), the production company was started by EC's guitar player and his brother, so of course do most of their videos but also do some for other bands. If you want to look into more of theirs; I would recommend ones to start with are Hypa Hypa, We've got the moves, Techno Train, Every Time We touch, and Pump It. Though they have several other solid videos.
Lovely reaction ^^ and at one point you were on point, electric callboy are all about having fun, they as a band are not serious, but they do take their music serious, which is why it works so well ^^ true partycore. Also don't worry about old metal. I grew up listening to most of the bands you listed there as "classic" metal. And I waaaaaay more enjoy new metal music. It's just new and fresh and music obviously progresses as time and technology advances ^^
There is no need to be afraid that old metal becomes stale. Early metal was very experimental. The bands tried to figure out a lot of instruments, voices, and tools and most of them found a very distinct sound, which changed over the years. There is also a lot of meaning in those songs, because they were the counter-culture of the day. Electric Callboy does a really good mix of metal and EDM. They are not alone in this and experiment a lot. Their break through was "Hypa Hypa" right at the beginning of the pandemic, so they were unable to tour. Instead, they offered the song to other bands to cover. So now, there are a bunch of very different covers of the song, made by various German artists, all in their preferred styles.
What is great about Electric Callboy is that they take other genres and mix them with Metal and it always works. They originally are a Emo Core band, but they come from the heartland of German Techno music scene and grew up with going to Raves and so it seems natural to them to mix Techno/EDM and Metal. Also, because they are typical 90s kids, they have 90s Boy Band ("Backstreet Boy"-sounding stuff) music elements in some of their songs. Their song "Tekkno Train" is a homage to the "Bloodhound Gang", apparently. It definitely sounds like a Bloodhound Gang song mixed with Metal. If you are looking for interesting stuff to react to, Electric Callboy is the best rabbit hole you can crawl down. Also their music videos are always top notch. The band's guitarist is one of the "Schillow Brothers", two videographers who made a name for themselves by producing weird and funny TV ads and of course they produce the videos for the band and they always look great and are very creative. Even the band's vlogs are always fun to watch and they do silly stuff like film their behind the scenes videos like a 80s sitcom or pretend there is a serial killer going round on their tour bus and stuff like that.
Electric Callboy really bring the fun vibes in the metal community. Considering a lot of metal bands make songs about dark and twisted human emotions and issues, Bands like Babymetal and Electric Callboy are such a breath of fresh air.
"Frank the Tech" is the tour manager for Electric Callboy. He said that really didn't like the "Foo Foo" part that Babymetal added. But then when they performed this live (FoxFest) and he heard the crowd react, he realized he was completely wrong and that it completely fit with the spirit of the song.
The reason Babymetal hat so much showtime is because this wasn't this is a collab and not just a feature. They completely made the song together. (If anyone is interested, Electric Callboy talked about it on their channel)
I'd say, don't worry about not liking what is recognised as classics within a genre. There is a reason we still hear Beethoven and Mozart after centuries. Even if some prefer one over the other, both have pieces that are globally recognised as masterpieces. So even if you end up liking one band over another. You would do yourself a disservice by not listening to what is recognised as classic rock/metal/country/pop/whatever. And how you feel about top 40, says more about what is produced, and propped up as the best of current, than it says about your tastes. I think it is common practice now, for artists and companies, to buy their own records to prop up their numbers. And now they can do it digitally, so they avoid filling the landfill.
I've been listening to metal for a long time and I can assure you that when Babymetal first came onto the scene, I was immediately sold. Also metal is known for always combining different styles of music. Even the older genres like thrash metal came to be because of combining metal with punk rock. So you do not need to worry about not enjoying bands like Electric Callboy anymore after checking out other genres of metal 🤘🤘
I am surprised to see a VTuber reacting to Electric Callboy (and it is kinda refreshing). Electric Callboy is a German metalcore/electronicore band from Castrop-Rauxel and they have always been a band whose lyrics can't be taken seriously (they are a kind of band either you love or you hate them). They started under the name Eskimo Callboy in the end of the 2000's but renamed in 2022 (at that time the band tried to become the German contestant at Eurovision Song Contest but was not selected for the national final due to their song being not radio-friendly which resulted in the creation of the song "Hurrikane", a crazy mixture of German Schlager and death metal vibes). They had their breakthrough with the 2020's song "Hypa Hypa" which became their first chart hit and their first Gold-certified song in Germany and Austria. That song was also covered by a medieval rock band called Saltatio Mortis, genre colleagues We Butter the Bread with Butter (yes, that's a band name), rap group 257ers and disco singer Sasha. That song is hilariously good. Please check out more of Electric Callboy: - Muffin-Purper Gurk (a song the band wrote in memoriam of the deceased gunnea pig of their former vocalist) - Hypa Hypa - We Got the Moves - Spaceman feat. FiNCH (German lyrics) - Pump It (the song the band wanted to perform at Eurovision) - Hurrikane (German lyrics, crazy mixture of German Schlager and death metal) - Tekkno Train - F*ckboi feat. Conquer Divide (an all-female metalcore band, but this song is more pop punk)
Electric Callboy always has that metal element, but electronica is a big part of their style. But when BABYMETAL is in the mix, you should DEFINITELY expect metal! There's a reason its in their name, lol!
You should definitely listen to more electric callboy. They are german and are always very fun in their music. They are also total sweethearts in real life. I did meet them once and talked to them for about 5 minutes and they were so sweet and so funny to the point it shocked me. I love them
kevin of electric callboy who usually does the harsh vocals does those ''wu wu'' also Nico does the second chorus. you can see it clearly in the live video
No need to over-think the meaning of the song or video, it is just what it looks like: "We are Disco spirits! We came to break you all out of this BORING business meeting, enough working, go partying! .. Wait, what? Karaoke bar is your definition of a party? NOOOO! We meant like real party! Preferably outdoors where you can meet the sunrise!" Ratatata video is like Spaceman ("I got a rocket on my back fueled with Big Bang Bass ... My religion is Rave and I bring it to the Outer world" - there they also wear helmets, and literally travel through space to bring party to various alien races.. now it is just to Japan) meets We Got the Moves ("Everybody hands up! We don't need a damn club! ... We got the moves.. We got the groove .. We are young, we are free, sipping on booze on a sunny beach. We're alive, we believe that summer time memories will never fade away")
What a freaking random discovery of golden nuggets! This is like double-womp-womp [if you are into XG you know...lol]. First Womp is I love BABYMETAL! This collab is something else. Wow. Second Womp is THIS AWESOME REACTION! I am so impressed by the format, the presentation, the vocal delivery, everything. I just peeked at your channel description...omg...to much to share but I will share this...Ms. Jennifer Hale [renowned work with Mass Effect, Metal Gear, Old Republic, etc.] has taught me a few things. Thank you for sharing your brilliant effort and being an inspiration. Thank you Universe. Commented. Liked. Subscribed.
I can recommend you check out other stuff from Electric Callboy as well, they have a few serious songs but most of their stuff is awesome electonicore with even better music videos. most of their videos are self produced, one of the band members is part of the schillo bros who also made the mv for Ratata.
Metal is exceptionally good with mixing up genres. Want some opera in there ? Symphonic metal is a whole genre. Want some bagpipes and a hurdy gurdy ? Folk metal it is. Pirate metal ? Sure. Viking metal ? Yup. Rap metal ? That's the 2000's nu metal era for you.
It was a 50/50 written between EC and Babymetal. The “bun bun bun fu fu” Means “shake your bootie” just having fun Which is NOT what Babymetal normally sings about. Gosh I could rant. But check out Falling in Reverse ‘all my life’ Or Babymetal monochrome “the first take”
New sub. First off this song lives rent free in my head whenever it's not pumping through my headphones!! Second as I am new here and haven't yet started to look through your playlists yet etc, have you reacted yet to Band Maid and The Warning?? If not I highly recommend them!! Great job on this one!! 🤘😝🤘
Electric Callboy are just abunch of funny guys doing funny things until you hear them perform parasite or older songs. XD They covered Everytime we touch if you got interest in this one. ^^ Other very good tracks would be, We got the moves, Tecno Train, Hypa Hypa, MC Thunder 1 and 2 or a older one Crystals.
Very fun reaction and (over)analysis. Here is my over-analysis: music is traditionally described as having two dimensions: melody and rhythm. Rock/metal has a third component, for the lack of an official term I call it "the force" - the energy unleashed upon the listener through the distorted sound of electric guitars, excessive drumming, screams and growls, etc. Traditional kinds of metal use more or less the same amount of force start to finish of a song (which is easily overwhelming), but many modern metal songs use force more like a degree of freedom, with song moving up and down this dimension, having heavier parts and softer parts. Electric Callboy is the pioneer of an extreme form of this, their heavy parts are like only 10 seconds long, but for those 10 seconds they go as heavy as it is humanly possible: Kevin growls hard, David makes holes in those drums.. Interestingly, it appeals to people not usually listening to music with force. I think it is like a harsh roller coaster: "Aaaahhhh, ne-e-ver a-a-ga-in!!! .... Is it over? I am alive! ... Yes, I did it! High five! ... Let's do it again! "
Wowowwow I love this analysis - thank you for sharing!!! I definitely appreciate this type of metal more where artists play with the intensity of that energy (or "force"??? hehehe) Thank you so much for adding onto my thoughts on it.
I recommend bands like Mr. Bungle and Twelve Foot Ninja who do what you say, they mesh genres if you want to listen to some more bands, who are like that
You'll enjoy Electric Callboy's other songs. I would recommend "Techno Train" as it's more EDM/techno mixed with metal. Metal most of the time takes itself too seriously, but EC is all about fun.
Well, there are other examples who takes metal way less serious: - We Butter the Bread with Butter (started covering children songs in death metal style) - JBO (parodies various songs, German lyrics) - Knorkator (comedy metal, German lyrics) - Randale (rock music for children) - Heavysaurus (rock music for children, started out in Finland and got a Spanish and German-languaged spin-off group) - Okilly Dokilly (The Simpsons-themed metal band, Ned Flanders) - Brojob (deathcore band with lyrics about LGBTQ-related topics, I love them)
You need to check out more Electric Callboy. Hypa Hypa is what made them really big with Reaction channels. I personally love Tekkno Train off their latest EP. They got some other big ones like We Got the Moves and Pump It. Hypa Hypa went big though, they have a whole Hypa Hypa EP with other bands and individual artists taking Hypa Hypa and making it in their own styles. So many different versions of Hypa Hypa, from a Scandanvian style German metal band like Saltatio Mortis to Disco style version with a German artist named Sasha and an even more Metalcore heavy version by yet another German band named We Butter the Bread with Butter.
EC talked about how they had only one take to get right when crashing through the walls cause the company that helped produce it I guess didnt have the money or want to replace the wall again. So what you see in the video is one take.
7:56 It's primal............think about it.......dance, screaming, it dates back centuries, and both for rejoicing, celebrating, and getting ready to go to war. No matter how advanced a species we think we are.........look around watch the news, hell, watch 15 min. of YTube and we're just still crazy about something we love. That we do what's being done here. In this vid. At least there's no violence, hateful slurs, or tons of R rated language to make yourself think you're so cool that you curse.....LOL.... kids these days. Throw another tatt on your face........you missed a spot... OIY...(face palm time)
No, it had nothing to do with any Pokemon, more with Kevin goes Neandertaler. Electric Callboy can mix as good as Babymetal. I had no doubt that they would find each other , but I would have not have guessed thst BabymetÖ would go as far, although I have already observed that Momo snd Moa already Profite from their New found Power. They made already made Nico and Kevin quite nervous.. But these Outfits wie their normal Stage Outfits from April 2023 till Mai 2924. And in the Video, it was offered by Nico and Kevin and had the full hearted support by the Filmcrew. It wss essential that they are recognized as adults but in reality they are tiny. So everytime you see Babymetal and Nico and Kevi in the same frame thise are forced persoevtive shots. And the japanese scenes hD a derper reason , if you understand the japanese it is expected thst no japanese Women might dare to hint an unknown man So Su describes herself as daring and wants to lure and trap a nun. So these men are for them no accidental victims but their by fate acknoledged mates. And this was also the reason for this gigNtic Disco Ball. Hold Su and Nico in distance but make the scene Intimität. Well and most interesting was that Ekectric Callboy had to strongRm some of Momokps Growls ibto the shot.
Well inthe kind of bands you are already pretty high, both Babymetal and Electric Callboy love often enogh Elements rhat are forbidden to meetm like "Give me Chocolate or Headbanger from Babymetal (Livie in Japan is preferred.
You might wanna check out Ado. ( if you don't know her already) She's very experimental with her vocals & has many creative EDM producers working with her
i frkn Love, how you Liked it! Such an Huge Fan of Both Bands, Saw Electric Callboy Live and it was soooo frkn Good, i really Love this reaction :3 Fell Hugged Everybody!
Bun bun or boon boon and fu Fu or foo foo as it is sounded is interval to Japanese pop music according to su metal and even Ratatata is ment to mean something in music according electric callboy and if you wanna watch more ec watch every time we touch or techno train or we got the moves all fantastic and they never take themselves seriously
I am a fan of Electric Callboy and I’ll tell you. This was a Dream Collab for me. Two bands both equally as goofy and metal as one another. I knew this would slap hard

"Is Electric Cowboy always like this?"
Yes. They are always goofy with the video antics and mixing electronic and metalcore with the music.
Mostly yes! And they had some serious too.

Basically, all the reasons to go to a concert.
Su sings, Momo growls and Moa just does the kawaii thing :)
**JUST**.
Moa can sing quite well though
@@justahologram2230 didn't mean for this to sound like I was disrespecting Moa. They all can sing. Moa just seems to be kawaii at another level
all of them can sing
Leave the otherworldly Vocals to Su
Leave the Growls to Momo
Leave the Being Cheeky on stage to Moa it's Moa thing come on guys we all know that
@@Yashannya momoko never growls live, so
didn't expect a vtuber's reaction to this song to be one of the most genuine and entertaining.
You should now check out the live version
DOO EET! DO EET, NAOW! /Arnold Schwazennaggar impersonation
The video was produced by one of electric callboys guitarists and his brother who own a video production company together that does all of ECs music videos
Thanks for the great reaction! I can't get the words RATATATA and BUN BUN BUN out of my head!🐭🦊🐹
Don't ever forget "fufu"
Oh you'll have a blast with Electric Callboy!!
I recommend the songs
- Hypa Hypa
- We got the Moves
- Pump it
- Tekkno Train
- Everytime we touch
- Mindreader
- Parasite
The last two are more serious songs but easily as awesome as their goofy ones.
Enjoy!
A lot of the forward-thinking old guard metallers welcomed BABYMETAL into the metal scene. The rest are just old men clinging on to whatever it was they think they had. Metal will never be the same.
I remember the Anthrax/Public Enemy collab dropping back in the day and was blown away. Same with this track.
Granted I'm a BABYMETAL otaku but that shows the power of Ratatata.

Well, I was like the old men clinging but Babymetal blew me away when I saw them performing at Rock am Ring in 2018 and became a fan since then.
its always funny when someone sees Electric Callboy and say "damn this has a vibe" and then the metal kicks in and its like "oh damn"
This video brought me to your channel and I absolutely loved watching you react to this and how much you enjoyed it. ❤ Thank you!!! 🌸
Thank you for watching! Hope to post more reacts!!

I love both bands. You should definitely check out Electric Callboy their awesome to.
Hypa Hypa is an amazing ec song to try first, we got the moves after that
both band do fun metal things 🤙🤘👍
The second "Are you ready" growl comes from 5' 3” - 90 LBS Momometal and her famus growl. It's something impressive.
She's gotta watch electric callboys cover of everything we touch
The edits xD NAILED
This made my editor very happy. Thank you!
This and the Falling in Reverse/Jelly Roll colab are two songs I can't get out my head and will probably play all summer.
Falling in Reverse was a huge surprise!

Even the band's vlogs are always fun to watch and they do silly stuff like film their behind the scenes videos like a 80s sitcom or pretend there is a serial killer going round on their tour bus and stuff like that.
Fell down the rabbit hole and love their vibes!
@@MaeFaeCh They seem hard not to like. A bunch of happy go lucky goofballs and weirdly wholesome despite a lot of raunchy innuendo in their lyrics.
they don't hate corporate life, the just really hate walls
Electric Callboy really bring the fun vibes in the metal community. Considering a lot of metal bands make songs about dark and twisted human emotions and issues, Bands like Babymetal and Electric Callboy are such a breath of fresh air.
Nico's and Kevin's goofy dancing is so fucking funny in this video.
Not common, but great to see you went through it twice.
Welcome to the METALVerse! Inari is pleased!!~~ The Kitsune are having a blast right now!!
She should definitely check out more of Electric Callboy. She would like it.

The reason baby metal has more singing part is that its nit a feature but a full on 50/50 collab. Which is amazing!
BABYMETAL is very cathartic! METAL, in general, allows us to release a lot of anger and anxiety. Thank GOD for bands like this.

best part is that at 7:28 Kevin is not growling alone, the second 'are you ready' is actually momometal.
Brilliant Performance

I am surprised to see a VTuber reacting to Electric Callboy (and it is kinda refreshing).
Electric Callboy is a German metalcore/electronicore band from Castrop-Rauxel and they have always been a band whose lyrics can't be taken seriously (they are a kind of band either you love or you hate them).
They started under the name Eskimo Callboy in the end of the 2000's but renamed in 2022 (at that time the band tried to become the German contestant at Eurovision Song Contest but was not selected for the national final due to their song being not radio-friendly which resulted in the creation of the song "Hurrikane", a crazy mixture of German Schlager and death metal vibes).
They had their breakthrough with the 2020's song "Hypa Hypa" which became their first chart hit and their first Gold-certified song in Germany and Austria. That song was also covered by a medieval rock band called Saltatio Mortis, genre colleagues We Butter the Bread with Butter (yes, that's a band name), rap group 257ers and disco singer Sasha. That song is hilariously good.
Please check out more of Electric Callboy:
- Muffin-Purper Gurk (a song the band wrote in memoriam of the deceased gunnea pig of their former vocalist)
- Hypa Hypa
- We Got the Moves
- Spaceman feat. FiNCH (German lyrics)
- Pump It (the song the band wanted to perform at Eurovision)
- Hurrikane (German lyrics, crazy mixture of German Schlager and death metal)
- Tekkno Train
- F*ckboi feat. Conquer Divide (an all-female metalcore band, but this song is more pop punk)
Electric Callboy always has that metal element, but electronica is a big part of their style. But when BABYMETAL is in the mix, you should DEFINITELY expect metal! There's a reason its in their name, lol!
Japan and Germany got this shit down. This is why it's so fucking good
Electric Callboy is a vibe saw em live and the whole concert hall was going wild. If you can see em live do it
You should definitely listen to more electric callboy. They are german and are always very fun in their music. They are also total sweethearts in real life. I did meet them once and talked to them for about 5 minutes and they were so sweet and so funny to the point it shocked me. I love them
Would love to see you react to electric callboys version of "everytime we touch"... they genuinely have fun and you can really tell
kevin of electric callboy who usually does the harsh vocals does those ''wu wu'' also Nico does the second chorus. you can see it clearly in the live video
'They look like these CD things' made me feel really old 🤣
🤘🦊🤘
Me, who collects CDs instead of downloading or streaming music: 👴
No need to over-think the meaning of the song or video, it is just what it looks like: "We are Disco spirits! We came to break you all out of this BORING business meeting, enough working, go partying! .. Wait, what? Karaoke bar is your definition of a party? NOOOO! We meant like real party! Preferably outdoors where you can meet the sunrise!" Ratatata video is like Spaceman ("I got a rocket on my back fueled with Big Bang Bass ... My religion is Rave and I bring it to the Outer world" - there they also wear helmets, and literally travel through space to bring party to various alien races.. now it is just to Japan) meets We Got the Moves ("Everybody hands up! We don't need a damn club! ... We got the moves.. We got the groove .. We are young, we are free, sipping on booze on a sunny beach. We're alive, we believe that summer time memories will never fade away")
Best collaboration ever. Liked and subscribed. 🤘🦊🤘
Much appreciated!
Another artist who likes to mix up genres, both between and within songs, is Ado. Specifically, you might enjoy the songs Show and Odo
Love Ado!
mindblown expression
Song of the summer
What a freaking random discovery of golden nuggets! This is like double-womp-womp [if you are into XG you know...lol]. First Womp is I love BABYMETAL! This collab is something else. Wow. Second Womp is THIS AWESOME REACTION! I am so impressed by the format, the presentation, the vocal delivery, everything. I just peeked at your channel description...omg...to much to share but I will share this...Ms. Jennifer Hale [renowned work with Mass Effect, Metal Gear, Old Republic, etc.] has taught me a few things. Thank you for sharing your brilliant effort and being an inspiration. Thank you Universe. Commented. Liked. Subscribed.
Awww thank you for such an amazing comment. Appreciate you!
Now you will just enter the Electric Callboy Rabbithole
I can recommend you check out other stuff from Electric Callboy as well, they have a few serious songs but most of their stuff is awesome electonicore with even better music videos. most of their videos are self produced, one of the band members is part of the schillo bros who also made the mv for Ratata.
Electric Callboy made some comments about the Bun Bun Bun and Fu Fu, but does anyone know what that translates to in the context of the song?
You should react to bring me the horizon et baby the song name is Kingslayer she is so insane
🍅💀🍅
🪩🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼🪩
😻RATATATA😻
EPIC !!!
Metal is exceptionally good with mixing up genres. Want some opera in there ? Symphonic metal is a whole genre. Want some bagpipes and a hurdy gurdy ? Folk metal it is. Pirate metal ? Sure. Viking metal ? Yup. Rap metal ? That's the 2000's nu metal era for you.
It was a 50/50 written between EC and Babymetal. The “bun bun bun fu fu”
Means “shake your bootie” just having fun
Which is NOT what Babymetal normally sings about. Gosh I could rant. But check out Falling in Reverse ‘all my life’
Or Babymetal monochrome “the first take”
MORE METAL WOOO, need more of this
METAL TAKEOVER
since you love this one you will love anything from Electric Callboy. Check them out, you won't be disappointed
New sub. First off this song lives rent free in my head whenever it's not pumping through my headphones!!
Second as I am new here and haven't yet started to look through your playlists yet etc, have you reacted yet to Band Maid and The Warning?? If not I highly recommend them!! Great job on this one!! 🤘😝🤘
There are 4 or 5 different hooks in this song. Probably the catchiest song ever.
Electric Callboy are just abunch of funny guys doing funny things until you hear them perform parasite or older songs. XD
They covered Everytime we touch if you got interest in this one. ^^
Other very good tracks would be, We got the moves, Tecno Train, Hypa Hypa, MC Thunder 1 and 2 or a older one Crystals.
You listen to Baby Metal and don't expect a metal sound :D It's like going to a slaughterhouse and looking for carrots :)
Very fun reaction and (over)analysis. Here is my over-analysis: music is traditionally described as having two dimensions: melody and rhythm. Rock/metal has a third component, for the lack of an official term I call it "the force" - the energy unleashed upon the listener through the distorted sound of electric guitars, excessive drumming, screams and growls, etc. Traditional kinds of metal use more or less the same amount of force start to finish of a song (which is easily overwhelming), but many modern metal songs use force more like a degree of freedom, with song moving up and down this dimension, having heavier parts and softer parts. Electric Callboy is the pioneer of an extreme form of this, their heavy parts are like only 10 seconds long, but for those 10 seconds they go as heavy as it is humanly possible: Kevin growls hard, David makes holes in those drums.. Interestingly, it appeals to people not usually listening to music with force. I think it is like a harsh roller coaster: "Aaaahhhh, ne-e-ver a-a-ga-in!!! .... Is it over? I am alive! ... Yes, I did it! High five! ... Let's do it again! "
Wowowwow I love this analysis - thank you for sharing!!! I definitely appreciate this type of metal more where artists play with the intensity of that energy (or "force"??? hehehe) Thank you so much for adding onto my thoughts on it.
🤓☝️ (jk that's a great analysis and i agree lol)
I recommend bands like Mr. Bungle and Twelve Foot Ninja who do what you say, they mesh genres if you want to listen to some more bands, who are like that
I’ll check it out! Thanks for the rec!
I'd throw in maNga (a Turkish nu metal group mixing metal with rap and Anadolian flair)
You'll enjoy Electric Callboy's other songs. I would recommend "Techno Train" as it's more EDM/techno mixed with metal.
Metal most of the time takes itself too seriously, but EC is all about fun.
Well, there are other examples who takes metal way less serious:
- We Butter the Bread with Butter (started covering children songs in death metal style)
- JBO (parodies various songs, German lyrics)
- Knorkator (comedy metal, German lyrics)
- Randale (rock music for children)
- Heavysaurus (rock music for children, started out in Finland and got a Spanish and German-languaged spin-off group)
- Okilly Dokilly (The Simpsons-themed metal band, Ned Flanders)
- Brojob (deathcore band with lyrics about LGBTQ-related topics, I love them)
You need to check out more Electric Callboy. Hypa Hypa is what made them really big with Reaction channels. I personally love Tekkno Train off their latest EP. They got some other big ones like We Got the Moves and Pump It. Hypa Hypa went big though, they have a whole Hypa Hypa EP with other bands and individual artists taking Hypa Hypa and making it in their own styles. So many different versions of Hypa Hypa, from a Scandanvian style German metal band like Saltatio Mortis to Disco style version with a German artist named Sasha and an even more Metalcore heavy version by yet another German band named We Butter the Bread with Butter.
The official theme song for WWE Bash in Berlin.
EC talked about how they had only one take to get right when crashing through the walls cause the company that helped produce it I guess didnt have the money or want to replace the wall again. So what you see in the video is one take.
7:56
It's primal............think about it.......dance, screaming, it dates back centuries, and both for rejoicing, celebrating, and getting ready to go to war.
No matter how advanced a species we think we are.........look around watch the news, hell, watch 15 min. of YTube and we're just still crazy about something we love.
That we do what's being done here. In this vid.
At least there's no violence, hateful slurs, or tons of R rated language to make yourself think you're so cool that you curse.....LOL....
kids these days.
Throw another tatt on your face........you missed a spot...
OIY...(face palm time)
No, it had nothing to do with any Pokemon, more with Kevin goes Neandertaler. Electric Callboy can mix as good as Babymetal. I had no doubt that they would find each other , but I would have not have guessed thst BabymetÖ would go as far, although I have already observed that Momo snd Moa already Profite from their New found Power. They made already made Nico and Kevin quite nervous.. But these Outfits wie their normal Stage Outfits from April 2023 till Mai 2924. And in the Video, it was offered by Nico and Kevin and had the full hearted support by the Filmcrew. It wss essential that they are recognized as adults but in reality they are tiny. So everytime you see Babymetal and Nico and Kevi in the same frame thise are forced persoevtive shots. And the japanese scenes hD a derper reason , if you understand the japanese it is expected thst no japanese Women might dare to hint an unknown man
So Su describes herself as daring and wants to lure and trap a nun. So these men are for them no accidental victims but their by fate acknoledged mates. And this was also the reason for this gigNtic Disco Ball. Hold Su and Nico in distance but make the scene Intimität. Well and most interesting was that Ekectric Callboy had to strongRm some of Momokps Growls ibto the shot.
I just discovered your channel, you have an amazing energy
Much appreciated!
Perfect description 😊?
My first video i see, but i have the questtion, why you a so amazing
PLEASE DO A COVER OF THIS!
TIme for her to go down the trip that is electric callboy. Be sure to check out their older stuff like mc thunder 1&2
Well inthe kind of bands you are already pretty high, both Babymetal and Electric Callboy love often enogh Elements rhat are forbidden to meetm like "Give me Chocolate or Headbanger from Babymetal (Livie in Japan is preferred.
Checkout Babymetal "in the name of" and "Metal Kingdom"
