What is "Reactabait"? "Any video, usually music, which is often requested for reactions on "reaction" channels. "Reactabait" is a video which usually involves something which takes the listener or viewer by surprise, eliciting a 'reaction' which fans want to see." Reactabait is a tongue in cheek term to call out the phenomenon of reaction channels and how many operate, whilst personally operating in the same way in this instance.
Oh wow. I loved that you actually took the time to analyze this. Most people just laugh at the video and get surprised by the metal (which is fun to watch too), but I think you are the first one I see actually getting into how the manage to tie this all together. Cause even tho their videos are comical their music is actually well put together and thought out. Thanks! And I agree, it's a shame they didn't get to go to Eurovision
Thank you 😊 yeh, I do want to offer a little more than just faces! There was so much more to look at with this, but things just flood to my head when first watching it, they end up coming out in rambles so I need to edit it so it makes sense as much as possible 😆
Damn this song was so much smarter than I thought it was. The way they just slightly change the melody from the intro/chorus to adding in chromatic, slightly disonant notes and more syncopated rhythms in the verse (heavy parts) while keeping the main foundation of the intro riff and then switching to a major key version of the intro riff in the bridge. I honestly never noticed things before until you pointed them out and it makes so much more sense how all these parts flow into each other so well even though it stylistically changes drastically!
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeh it’s crazy how they can have such seemingly different sections but still keep it subliminally cohesive. And it’s so bloody catchy too 🤦♂️ thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment thanks 😊
@@TheMuserResolute This is what happens when German musicians get bored during lockdown, there you go: EDM version - Remix by Gestört Aber Geil (Synth-)Pop version - EC feat. Sasha (Emo-Rock-)Ballad - Axel One German-Hip Hop version - 257ers (feat. EC) Country version - EC feat. The BossHoss Folk Metal version - Saltatio Mortis Death Metal version - We Butter The Bread With Butter (WBTBWB) The EDM-Remix is good for what it is but definately not "reactabait" as it suffers from a genre standard video clip, the covers by Saltatio Mortis and WBTBWB are the fan-favourites but reactions seem to get blocked quite often.
They applied for the ESC with "Pump It" and "We Got The Moves". With "We Got The Moves" they were in the round of the last 26 artists. Then the german jury kicked them out for not being suitable for radio airplay. Well. Since when is the ESC a radio show?
... your reaction to 'Hypa Hypa' is outstanding - especially the analysis of the song!!! You should definitely react to Saltatio Mortis vs. Eskimo Callboy - Hypa Hypa, too!! - its an amazing version of the song in another genre! And you shouldn't miss "Eskimo Callboy - We got the moves (OFFICIAL VIDEO)" - you won't regret it!
Never been here before, but i liked the piano explaination for the intro and the understanding of the general build up of that song. Awesome. Keep up the good work dude!
UA-cam reintroduced me to this video 🤷 now it's been on my playlist since then and I am more familiar with the song, I love the second insight! Thank you
I have been subscribed to you for months now, but I´ll say it again: You´re amazing. 12 minutes of a video flew by just like that. Enjoyed everything very much, you have great ears and you really understand music - you got most of the points immediately. Congrats!
If you were my music teacher in school, I would of understood it, the way you explain things that I subliminally picked up on but then explain how that works musicwise. Fantastic! ♥️ Hell! liked and subscribed ♥️
The last riff, the minor that he plays at end is actually part of a soccer chant.... Everybody in Europe had it in there head before the song came out! Makes it even more catching since you actually know hakf of the song before even hearing it 😂
European dance pop from the 90s was so cheesy, but man was it catchy. The way these guys have blended that cheesiness with some 90s dance, trance and techno and metal is just awesome.
Actually they volunteered to represent Germany in ESC 2022 but they were denied... have a look at the promo they made, pump up, it's hilarious and also good
You know this means you want to go down the Eskimo Callboy rabbit hole right? Pump It, We Got the Moves, MC Thunder 1 and 2 … Another random idea. Interested in checking out some Indian Folk metal? Check out Bloodywood! They’re incredible
their music is very well written, while them having as much fun as we do listening to it. I have been listening to EC off and on for years. my wife, loves the poppy side, as a metalhead, I love the whole thing. our 5yr old son is totally amused with this and asks me everyday, on the ride home from school to play this, WGTM and Pump It!! literally, everyday. haha he’s such a little metalhead in the making.
as someone doing IT Forensics it is really interesting to see you literally reverse engineering that song. Reverse engineering a piece of software is the art of rebuilding it without knowing the exact code and procedures. Just like you rebuilt the song without the score and sheets. Sub earned!
You have ro react to "Pump it" by Eskimo Callboys too (now they are called Electric Callboys since a few days). Also it's a shame that the song pump it didn't made it to eurovision... Oh and "We got the moves" is catchy and good aswell.
NW Army Bavaria reporting in Thx for the Reaction, and foremost the Analisys. i dont think you hear it before. Your Skills to analyse an Pitch, Buildup, and Timeswitches let you forecast most Things exactly. Is it an reactbaoit? sure, why not. In the end, its an Fun Song, which is easy to adapt, positive Ground Feeling, and special in this Time, why not some uplifting, easy to Catch Crossover, very good( not extraordinary or else) instrumented and transitioned and sung( german roots, always doing some at least serious:)). They not only got friendly reactions, and from State Radio in Germany, they are more ore less ignored and even an Eurovision Contest Issue is boiling actually.( just got it, you mentioned it) They did Cobvers with some other Local hereos in Germany, one more Diverse like the Other, but all of them entertaining. On top most got an making of, which would brake any TikTok Challenge not to smile. And, by the Way, all free to watch on YT, ofc they arent loved by the Music Industry for that. Stay Healthy
Thank you so much for doing this! I've said it before and I'll say it again: I appreciate the incite you bring to the inner workings of music beyond the pure reaction content. Since I was among the people asking for Eskimo Callboy on one of your previous videos, it Really made my night. XD -Shameless plug for other good metalcore that Spotify recommended while I was on an Eskimo Callboy Bender: "Choke" or "Cannibal" by Bury Tomorrow. They have a serious tone, unlike EC, but their mix of deathcore and clean vocals with catchy melodic sections is really neat and very cathartic.
It's truly Europop indeed, more precisely it's "Scooter". They even "copied" the title of a Scooter song, "Hyper Hyper" 🤣 The tune is clearly influenced by "Maria (I like it loud)" from Scooter 😁
I truly appreciate your video take on this song. As a musician i love their music craftsmanship however, I do not have the acumen which you do. You put fine points on what I knew to be true. And the serious craftsmanship of the songs coupled with the 'who gives a "f"?' of their videos is a perfect dichotomy. I will subscribe in the event that you hit more of their videos.
Have you ever heard Band Maid from Japan? They are sn all female rock band with some very good musicians. The lead guitarist is the main writer but they all contribute to the writing. I would love to see you do an analysis of some of their stuff and they have a large and devoted fan base. There will be a lot of views on it. Also, they are very reactor freindly unlike a lot of Japanese bands. Check out the live version of No God on their official channel.
Nice analysis, as ever. A suggestion for a new Band to hear: "Dirty Loops" "Dirty Loops" is musically on the "opposite" side of Eskimo Callboy, they make Fusion Jazz combined with Pop. The Core of the swedish Band consist of three young Guys, playing bass, drums and keyboards. At three vitisted the Södra Latin high school in Stockholm. A school which is known for a superb musical education. After finishing high school, they all studied at the swedish Royal College for Music. Expect that they are very good in thier craftmanship. A good intro for hearing only the three, is the older "Work Shit Out". But every piece is fine. An actual track from last year, with horns and guitar (Cory Wong) added, is the "Follow The Light". Try this, you will not be disappointed😊.
You need to listen to the german band Scooter and their Song "Hyper, Hyper", because that EC song is pretty much influenced by them. But man I love Eskimo Callboy so much, they're brilliant.
Wait, you only looked any analysed one of the 15 official versions of hypa hypa out there... I think on top of being a good song the video might not be underestimated.
For me ... the most useful reaction to Hyperx2 ... A golden bazzer for you ... Please pleasepleasepleaseplease.... All eski/electricCallboy songs and all from Rammstein ... Pleaseeeeeee
I really wish I could hear what you hear. I know I like what I like but you can pick up on the things that seem to draw people in. Talent? Gift? Skill? I don't know but I lack that quality and am just a tiny bit envious but also I can appreciate things more inocently, I suppose.
Judging by the fact you pause right before the drop, you have seen this before and yes please don't lie just tell the truth and yes you do this on all your reactions btw I do love your content just be honest ty.
Heya! Thank you. I have either seen it before, or as a music teacher understand that sections in popular music are usually in lots of 8 or 16 bars 😉 I usually go for a whole section and try not to stop it in between
I had enough when "I really haven't seen this before". Everyone who knows a bit music can analyze this one with "synths" and guitars and vocals. Eurodance and metalcore...yep. This saved 2020...bit late are we? better later than never i guess....
The problem with you and SO many reactors is that you just HAVE to talk. Ive looked at well over 100 reaction videos of these guys (I love them) , and you reactors just seem PHYSICALLY INCAPABLE of letting any of their songs play for more than 30 seconds. Seriously, wtf.
Thanks for watching! This is why it’s a “reactionalysis”. It’s an awesome song. Here’s the link to the original song if you’d like to watch it without the talking ua-cam.com/video/75Mw8r5gW8E/v-deo.html
@@TheMuserResolute All German Manta drivers of the 80's and 90's did, though. As well as having cowboy boots, blonde hairdresser girlfriends, an Opel Manta (can't be a Manta driver without one, after all), one elbow out the window at all times and barely enough total braincells among the lot of them to turn the keys in the ignition. Sometimes they even remembered to put it in first. Just in case you were wondering where the imagery in the Video is from. Obviously, Eskimo Callboy aren't real Manta drivers, they're far to intelligent.

But still not many do!
@@BlackArr0w Chase introduced me to the band. I also really loved Julia Nelson's analysis. ua-cam.com/video/y8WRdKowlSc/v-deo.html
What simple complexity! I mean, taking one riff and being able to layer it in so many different ways is immensely impressive

There's a whole album of artists remixing this in a variety of genres. Works as a death metal song, a country song, a rap song... the list goes on!
I need to hear this!!!!
@@TheMuserResolute This is what happens when German musicians get bored during lockdown, there you go:
EDM version - Remix by Gestört Aber Geil
(Synth-)Pop version - EC feat. Sasha
(Emo-Rock-)Ballad - Axel One
German-Hip Hop version - 257ers (feat. EC)
Country version - EC feat. The BossHoss
Folk Metal version - Saltatio Mortis
Death Metal version - We Butter The Bread With Butter (WBTBWB)
The EDM-Remix is good for what it is but definately not "reactabait" as it suffers from a genre standard video clip, the covers by Saltatio Mortis and WBTBWB are the fan-favourites but reactions seem to get blocked quite often.
I just love the Saltatio Mortis version so much.
My favourite is the one with Axel One!!
This is bloody awesome two of my favourite genre's spliced together perfectly
It works scarily well 😆
They applied for the ESC with "Pump It" and "We Got The Moves". With "We Got The Moves" they were in the round of the last 26 artists. Then the german jury kicked them out for not being suitable for radio airplay. Well. Since when is the ESC a radio show?
Surprised then they didn’t kick last year’s German entry out for the same reason 😆
@@TheMuserResolute Last year they search for an act with a massage-song "outside the box". It is to cry for...
By the way the melody/sample of this song is from Scooter - Maria I Like It Loud
I found this yesterday as well... have listened to reaction clips ALL DAY.... LOVE IT!!
... your reaction to 'Hypa Hypa' is outstanding - especially the analysis of the song!!! You should definitely react to Saltatio Mortis vs. Eskimo Callboy - Hypa Hypa, too!! - its an amazing version of the song in another genre!

Never been here before, but i liked the piano explaination for the intro and the understanding of the general build up of that song. Awesome. Keep up the good work dude!
Loved the insightful analysis of Hypa Hypa. There is so much quality to EC's music, so great to get an in-depth look at it.
This was by far one of my favorite reactions to this song as you also broke it down so people can understand...Eskimo callboy is one of my favorites
Such an interesting analysis. Thank you!
UA-cam reintroduced me to this video 🤷 now it's been on my playlist since then and I am more familiar with the song, I love the second insight! Thank you

Thanks for the analysis, most dont bother to look deeper into popular or harder music. Mybe I can learn something here.
3:24 "Some GREAT...." that is not where my mind was expecting that sensentence to go from there 🤪
