they wanted to join ESC but the officials said "nope, its not something for the radio". And because of this... check out "hurricane" its their answer for this.Ty for this reaction!! lovely greetings from Germany
Welcome to the Electric Callboy rabbit hole!!!! You should watch their other videos: "Hypa Hypa", "Pump It", "Tekkno Train", "Ratatata", "Fckboy", "Parasite", "Mindreader"......
It's also a totally whack combo. Electric Callboy and Japanese Kawaii Metal. However, I Love their Interpretation of Everytime we Touch. That was the first Song I've heard of them which Made my trance Heart Beat faster. And since then, I've heard so much more. They would have been such an absolute banger on Eurovision.
Yes please do reactions to all of these videos! The good thing is that you can react to all their songs in front of the camera as the videos are always pretty crazy and every song has a different vibe. Their base is always Metalcore/Technocore and they mix that with German Schlager, Neue Deutsche Welle, Deutschrap etc. Fckboy is the exception here, the song is a declaration of love for early 2000s skate songs like Blink182 or Avril Levigne. They perform the song together with the girl rock band Conquer Divide.
Electric Callboy has applied to the German television station NDR (Norddeutscher Rundfunk in the ARD association) for the German preliminary selection of a song for the ESC from Germany. Unfortunately, the NDR canceled the group "Electric Callboy" on the grounds that it was not radio-friendly. What was meant was the song they were applying for, "Pump it". Due to this rejection, Electric Callboy became even more famous on the Internet, including on UA-cam. Join in Australia, USA and Europe on Live with great success.
"We Got The Moves" was also in the German selection process. The band was among the top 20 in the internal selection. They were excluded from it due to a cooperation between the NDR and radio stations to promote the final songs for the preselection show on heavy rotation. Unfortunately, these radio stations were targeting 30-50 year olds and mainly played pop, so Electric Callboy were too hard. After the exclusion, the band felt (and rightly so) so badly treated that they would never apply for the ESC again. It is still an open and gaping wound in the hearts of ESC fans, not just from Germany, but from the entire ESC bubble.😢😢 When die rumours first came out that EC would like to run for ESC the international ESC bubble exploded and the victory for Germany was near ...
conspiracy theory says they didn't want EC to go because hosting ESC is very expensive and they don't have that money. I think it would have been awesome. I'm at the upper end of that 30-50 bubble btw and i don't think age has anything to do with it. NDR's jury is just too stuffy and lame.
@@Matthillsworth Basically, I only knew about the Pump it song and nothing else until the band themselves made a sketch about it with a video on UA-cam.

@@xxJOKeR75xx NDR has the curse of the rigid public broadcasting system. Very few but very enthusiastic ESC fans work there. They burn for this sh**. Unfortunately, they are limited by rules, budget and time, among other things.

I think the theory that intentionally bad contributions are sent to the ESC in order not to win and to have to host the ESC is nonsense.
They did apply for Eurovision, but the responsible people said that their music isn't radio friendly - their fans went nuts, but the decision wasn't changed - their song "Hurrikan" is a kind of "answer" for their neglectin....
"Hypa Hypa" was their first big hit with Nico their, at that time, new vocalist for the clean singing (Kevin is doing the harsh vocals). It was released in the middle of the pandemic and other German artists tried cover versions. So there are now several versions in different musical styles of "Hypa Hypa". Electric Callboy even produced and released an EP with all versions, original and covers. My personal favourites are the Medieval Folk Metal version by Saltatio Mortis (availiable on Saltatio Mortis channel) and the Pop version (by Sasha). But there is also a Hip-Hop version (257ers), a Country version (The Boss Hoss), a Metalcore version (by We Butter the Bread With Butter) and a classical (?) version by Axel One. All the videos of the "Hypa Hypa" covers feature at least the two vocalists of Electric Callboy, some even the whole band.
What do you mean other artist tried cover versions? All these Versions were made by Eskimo Callboy, and were made specifically for those who did the covers together with EC. Everything was arranged by EC
great choice :) they applied to the ESC with "Pump it" and got rejected in the end for not beeing "radio-friendly". as an answer to the ESC-comitee they came up with the song "Hurrikan". but i love all there recent songs (most from the album "TEKKNO") plus the coop with BABYMETAL - Ratatata and the cover of "Everytime we touch", all are very worth a listen ;) and don't forget, we germans have no humor.
@@dwayneslens conspiracies say that's exactly why they were rejected😉Hosting the ESC is expensive as heck. I think in hindsight it was a good thing for them, because the outrage over their rejection made them even more famous.
~4:50 "What is he doing?" - He's licking the bush ... Also: How many styles of music can you mix in one song? - Yes.

I'm so glad you like this band. :) I think they spread a lot of joy, make you want to move your body and let you forget the madness of everyday life for a moment. Watch "Spaceman", "Everytime we touch," "Ratatata", "Hypa, Hypa", "Tekkno Train" and "Pump It". Share your amusement while watching these videos. :)
Thanks so much for the Super Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I had so much fun watching it. I will be making my way through their hits so watch this space and make sure you're subscribed 😊
Omg, you reacted to EC? Amazing! I watch you regularly and I love them, great crossover for me 😅 And you immediately hit the sore spot Eurovision 😂 If you want to you can react to Pump It which they applied for Eurovision and which the German jury rejected because it wasn't "radio-friendly" enough. And on top of that watch Hurrikan which was their "answer song" to the rejection, which is basically the stereotypical song the jury wants (it's only 2 minutes long)
I saw your upload and thought "Dwanye won't see it coming, he's innocent as a lamb, it'll be fun!" and I think everyone feels the same way when they hear the band for the first time 🤣 I was positively confused, amazed, puzzled by the video, somehow overwhelmed and had to watch the first video three times and discovered something new every time lmao
I was so happy seeing you watch this band after i mentioned it in another video. It's always a journey to watch Electric Callboy for the first time :) My pick for the next song would be Hypa Hypa since it came out before "We got the moves" and was the first time most people got introduced to the band.
Electric Callboy are Eltrocore which is so catchy and fun. I think it’s really refreshing that they don’t take themselves too seriously, but they take their music very seriously as they are very good musicians.
Best good-time band on the planet, these guys are like taking a shot of liquor while huffing laughing gas, you may not know what's going to happen but you know it's going to get you laughing and moving your ass.
They applied to represent Germany and NDR, the German television channel who organise the German entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 said their entry wasn't radio friendly enough so could not be in the national selection in Germany! That year they selected Malik Harris with Rockstars which came last with 6 televoting points and NO jury points. Electric Callboy's song was "Pump It": ua-cam.com/video/OnzkhQsmSag/v-deo.html BTW they recently did a cover of "Everytime We Touch" the Cascada version and that is worth seeing as well: ua-cam.com/video/AuBXeF5acqE/v-deo.html All three videos are produced by the Schillo Bros that is Pascal Schillo (the rhythm guitarist) and his brother Oliver and they do excellent videos.
They haven't been on Eurovision - but they were in consideration before German radio decided they weren't 'suitable to broadcast'. Which the band responded to with another song mocking them (Hurrican).
There was a petition from the people to send them to ESC and They wanted it as well BUT in germany the politics and every company gives a sh t about the will of the people.
EC, basically went from decently known metal band if you knew your German metal to one of the big bands on the scene ever since they dropped Hypa Hypa in that covid period. Probably one of the few ways to have stayed vaguely sane during that period...
Electric Callboy are the most entertaining & joyful band in the world right now, Germans have not put out a bad song in last 3 years and live shows just a massive rave of metal & EDM riffs!! 😆🤘
I remember hearing Kevin (I think) in an interview mention that in Germany, they refer to it as a 'Pony'. Because it looks a lot like the top of a pony's mane. Then they went and gave a pony, a pony for the video clip 😂
This is one of my ALL TIME favourite music videos.....ever. I'm a metal head, but the seamless blend of genres is genius. Try their other video 'Spaceman'
They did apply to represent Germany at ESC two years ago with “Pump it”, which would’ve been great! I recommend checking that song out as well as some others (for me “Every time we touch” and “F*ckboi” are the best ones)
The band was about to go to the Eurovision Song Contest, but were rejected/canceld because they are not radio-friedly enough! ^^+gg But: You can't go wrong with this band! Check out more!
They were originally called Eskimo Callboy and changed their name. We call it a Topfschnitt or Pottschnitt essentially meaning the same, but more like pot (as in cooking pot).
Welcome to the show. EC has several really, really great songs. My personal favourites are Tekkno Train, Everytime we touch, Pump it, Ratatata and this one. But also the more serious songs like Mindreader and Parasite are very, very good.
Watch their music video for the song "Pump It". This is the song they actually applied for the ESC. Unfortunately, the German broadcaster (NDR) responsible for picking those acts for the country rejected them - obviously Germany doesn't want to win the ESC.
That's a rabbit hole worth checking out. I could respond to the whole Eurovision thing, but the comment section is already packed with responses to that matter. 😆😆
"Electric Callboy" was formerly known as "Eskimo Callboy" - this explains the haircut (from the Innuit). If you like this band, you still have a lot to look forward to! Check out the other videos, they are all very good and funny. Small tip: the group "Little Big"
Electric Callboy is a big rabbit hole whorth checking out. Their music videos are never disappointing. I would recommend starting with "HYPA HYPA", which was released directly before "We got the moves" and was their UA-cam breakthrough. Then go chronological from there... EC wanted to go to the ESC but was denied by the stupid german TV station which was responsible for the nominees. The stupid reason they gave was that the song from EC is "not suited/compatible for the radio" and they chose the usual boring pop artists instead. After this EC actually answered to this with a special song, I will not spoiler which one, but if you watch/hear it, you will know XD ...
Little correction, Hypa Hypa was released in June 2020 and WGTM in September 2021. Hypa Hypa was on the EP "MMXX" with Hate/Love, MC Thunder part 2, the reproductions of Drama Queen and Monsieur Moustache and Prism feat. Tobias Rauscher. WGTM is from their TEKKNO Album.
They are freakin' hilarious! IMO they are the current peak of musical comedy and good-mood party. I'd stick them in a similar crazy category as Deichkind (back in the day) or LMFAO
The German entry to the ESC shows the competence of the people who choose who gets to compete for Germany... there is none. ‘Germany: 0 points’ is now a legacy.
EC has some genius songs. If you want to listen to some serious EC songs: Don't miss: "The Scene". You have watched Seed - "Ding"? - So, you have to watch the version of "Feuerschwanz" (and other songs of them). When saying Feuerschwanz, then you have to watch "Saltatio Mortis". Maybe a cover you could know if you are a video game guy: "The dragenborn comes". They have good songs as well. Regarding collabs with EC, this leads to another German Band/Duo: The Boss Hoss. Why have you stopped Peter Fox? Whats about "Zukunft Pink"? ...or did I miss this reaction? Nina Hagen is also a very famous German singer. A funny one regarding German bread obsession: "Baby got Laugengebäck" 🙂
Hey Dwayne, since you liked Gentleman in the beginner song ahnma you reacted to recently, check out „See dem coming“ or „Dem gone“. Both from his debut album from 2002. Love your reactions, keep em coming ❤
Haha finally Electric Callboy on this channel! 🤘 They wanted to join ESC but the german officials didn't let them go to the national selection 🫣 You should check out more by them. Maybe "Hypa Hypa", "Pump it" or "Ratatata" feat Babymetal
The band was originally called Eskimo Callboy. A neighbor of one of the band members suggested the name. The term Eskimo was criticized early on because it is a foreign term for the indigenous population in North America. Inuit is also wrong because it only describes part of the group. When "Hypa Hypa" made its international breakthrough, it became a problem in Canada. Promoters didn't want to let them perform because of the name, and other bands didn't want to perform together. They then changed the name to Electric. As a German, I can't really understand the argument. German is a foreign term like Eskimo, the French call me Allemane, even though I don't belong to this ethnic group within the Germans, like Inuit. The Poles and Slavs don't even have a proper name for me, they call Germans with an old word for foreigners. That doesn't really bother me. But I'm not an oppressed minority that can't decide its own fate. I don't have the feeling that I can't even decide my own name. I am in a better social situation than the indigenous people of North America and therefore deal with it more calmly. The style is officially metalcore, but the party atmosphere is unique and typical of Electric Callboy. Their concerts are more of a party than a concert. In the beginning they were criticized a lot for this, but today their success proves them right. ESC is a sad chapter. They actually applied nationally for the ESC, but were rejected. They would not be suitable for radio. The national pre-selection is regularly criticized because of such decisions. And because Germany very often ends up in last place. The national organize ralmost changes the rules every year and still doesn't learn anything. This was the song they applied with for the national selection: Electric Callboy - PUMP IT (OFFICIAL VIDEO) Later, a metal band made it because the rules changed again, but ended up in the lower places despite the ESC being friendly. They were rarely in last place in the rankings, but didn't get into the points either. In the end, they had almost no points and were ranked lower than they had been chosen. Somehow, success at the ESC is the exception for the Germans: Lord Of The Lost - Blood & Glitter (LIVE) | Germany 🇩🇪 | Grand Final | Eurovision 2023

They applied with the song Hypa Hypa, right? Or was it Pump It?
@@derhinek pump it was the song they applied.
I think Neon is their answer to that, its a banger but definitely more radio material
Pump it was their entry for the esc
Hurrikan the response (also there is a velvet-version of pump it)
I think you mean "Hurrikan". Hurricane is another, older Song with their former Singer 'Sushi'.
Welcome to the Electric Callboy rabbit hole!!!! You should watch their other videos: "Hypa Hypa", "Pump It", "Tekkno Train", "Ratatata", "Fckboy", "Parasite", "Mindreader"......
Sadly Neon has no video one of their best in my opinion
RATATATA omg it was in my head for like four weeks 🪩🕺
It's also a totally whack combo. Electric Callboy and Japanese Kawaii Metal.
However, I Love their Interpretation of Everytime we Touch. That was the first Song I've heard of them which Made my trance Heart Beat faster. And since then, I've heard so much more.

Love from the Uk.
Whenever I feel bad, I go check some reactions to EC 😂❤
Its contagious..
Never seen anyone not bopping their head to it
In Germany, the bowl cut is cut around pots instead of bowls, so it is called the pot cut here, which translates as ”Topfschnitt”.
Yeah! They tryed to be at the ESC but were rejected by the authorities. Now they are happy about it they do not go this walk of shame. ;)
A bowl cut in german is a Topfschnitt 🍲✂
EC, basically went from decently known metal band if you knew your German metal to one of the big bands on the scene ever since they dropped Hypa Hypa in that covid period. Probably one of the few ways to have stayed vaguely sane during that period...
Welcome to the elctro callboy rabbithole
pls do more reacts to their music
EC is amazing in live-performances. I saw them in Nuremberg this year not knowing a single sing and I was immediately hooked
Electric Callboy are the most entertaining & joyful band in the world right now, Germans have not put out a bad song in last 3 years and live shows just a massive rave of metal & EDM riffs!! 😆🤘
NICE!! Thank you !!
This genre is called PartyCore if i'm not wrong
FYI: The german equivalent to 'Bowl Cut' is 'Pottschnitt'
I remember hearing Kevin (I think) in an interview mention that in Germany, they refer to it as a 'Pony'. Because it looks a lot like the top of a pony's mane. Then they went and gave a pony, a pony for the video clip 😂

They were originally called Eskimo Callboy and changed their name.
We call it a Topfschnitt or Pottschnitt essentially meaning the same, but more like pot (as in cooking pot).
For me it´s the best heavy fun party song since "You´ve gotta fight". Watched the video 100 times minimum.

didnt know that band, but wow.... I'm a fan now)
I told you so! Deickind was just the start of Crazy, Electric callboy will blow you away
Saw them live at Summerbreeze Festival. Damn that was just one hell of a Party 🤘🏻🤘🏻
you should try: Electric Callboy - Everytime We Touch (TEKKNO Version) OFFICIAL VIDEO
Electric Callboy is a big rabbit hole whorth checking out. Their music videos are never disappointing. I would recommend starting with "HYPA HYPA", which was released directly before "We got the moves" and was their UA-cam breakthrough. Then go chronological from there...
EC wanted to go to the ESC but was denied by the stupid german TV station which was responsible for the nominees. The stupid reason they gave was that the song from EC is "not suited/compatible for the radio" and they chose the usual boring pop artists instead. After this EC actually answered to this with a special song, I will not spoiler which one, but if you watch/hear it, you will know XD ...
Little correction, Hypa Hypa was released in June 2020 and WGTM in September 2021. Hypa Hypa was on the EP "MMXX" with Hate/Love, MC Thunder part 2, the reproductions of Drama Queen and Monsieur Moustache and Prism feat. Tobias Rauscher. WGTM is from their TEKKNO Album.
spaceman, tekkno train, and hypa hypa.!! more my guy!
I enjoy your enjoyed confusion!
They are freakin' hilarious! IMO they are the current peak of musical comedy and good-mood party. I'd stick them in a similar crazy category as Deichkind (back in the day) or LMFAO
The German entry to the ESC shows the competence of the people who choose who gets to compete for Germany... there is none. ‘Germany: 0 points’ is now a legacy.
I believe that when they choose a song, "not having to host the next ESC" is one of the criteria.
I love them, they are just awesome!
Next one: Every time we touch!
EC has some genius songs. If you want to listen to some serious EC songs: Don't miss: "The Scene".
You have watched Seed - "Ding"? - So, you have to watch the version of "Feuerschwanz" (and other songs of them).
When saying Feuerschwanz, then you have to watch "Saltatio Mortis". Maybe a cover you could know if you are a video game guy: "The dragenborn comes". They have good songs as well.
Regarding collabs with EC, this leads to another German Band/Duo: The Boss Hoss.
Why have you stopped Peter Fox? Whats about "Zukunft Pink"? ...or did I miss this reaction?
Nina Hagen is also a very famous German singer.
A funny one regarding German bread obsession: "Baby got Laugengebäck" 🙂
Was waiting for it xD
Hey Dwayne, since you liked Gentleman in the beginner song ahnma you reacted to recently, check out „See dem coming“ or „Dem gone“. Both from his debut album from 2002.
Love your reactions, keep em coming ❤
i did backstage for eskimo callboy / electric callboy called now. i got heavy drunk with them and they taped the bassist and a table to a wall
Haha finally Electric Callboy on this channel! 🤘
They wanted to join ESC but the german officials didn't let them go to the national selection 🫣
You should check out more by them. Maybe "Hypa Hypa", "Pump it" or "Ratatata" feat Babymetal
We call that haircut here ingermany "pilzkopf"("mushroomhaed" ^^) or the more officiel name of it "topfschnitt"("pot cut")..^^
The band was originally called Eskimo Callboy. A neighbor of one of the band members suggested the name. The term Eskimo was criticized early on because it is a foreign term for the indigenous population in North America. Inuit is also wrong because it only describes part of the group. When "Hypa Hypa" made its international breakthrough, it became a problem in Canada. Promoters didn't want to let them perform because of the name, and other bands didn't want to perform together. They then changed the name to Electric. As a German, I can't really understand the argument. German is a foreign term like Eskimo, the French call me Allemane, even though I don't belong to this ethnic group within the Germans, like Inuit. The Poles and Slavs don't even have a proper name for me, they call Germans with an old word for foreigners. That doesn't really bother me. But I'm not an oppressed minority that can't decide its own fate. I don't have the feeling that I can't even decide my own name. I am in a better social situation than the indigenous people of North America and therefore deal with it more calmly.
The style is officially metalcore, but the party atmosphere is unique and typical of Electric Callboy. Their concerts are more of a party than a concert. In the beginning they were criticized a lot for this, but today their success proves them right.
ESC is a sad chapter. They actually applied nationally for the ESC, but were rejected. They would not be suitable for radio. The national pre-selection is regularly criticized because of such decisions. And because Germany very often ends up in last place. The national organize ralmost changes the rules every year and still doesn't learn anything. This was the song they applied with for the national selection:
Electric Callboy - PUMP IT (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
Later, a metal band made it because the rules changed again, but ended up in the lower places despite the ESC being friendly. They were rarely in last place in the rankings, but didn't get into the points either. In the end, they had almost no points and were ranked lower than they had been chosen. Somehow, success at the ESC is the exception for the Germans:
Lord Of The Lost - Blood & Glitter (LIVE) | Germany 🇩🇪 | Grand Final | Eurovision 2023
Another suggestion: Kummer feat. Fred Rabe - Alles wird gut (der letzte Song)
It makes sense to read the lyrics afterwards. Pretty decent song.
If they joined eurovision, they would be DQ right at the start 😂😂
Finally. Now follow the rabbit hole
