Justin, you should cover the new Extreme single/video... Only to watch your reaction to the Nuno's solo... I am very happy to know that i will see The Darkness in Spain in June, and there are lot of possibilities that Extreme act the same day than you even thought the organizer of the Festival still gave information...i know your day because of your web site!
approach sry cant spell english
Justin, I think you would like this group called Uncle Reno. They are a local band where I live but have a really cool sound.
Sounds like another Daughtry to me which means......2-4 months (or weeks) nobody will remember him.
That melody sounds like the little poem we used to say as kids..."there's a place in France, where the naked ladies dance, there's a hole in the wall, where the boys can see it all".
Yeah! There was a Looney Tunes episode where the sang that. "There's a place in France where the ladies wear no pants." Brilliantly inappropriate.
'Round these parts there was a retort that circulated, too - "But the ladies don't care 'cause they're in their underwear & the men go around with their dinghies hangin' down."
Definitely that😂
Also apparently known as 'Arabian Riff' - the Wikipedia article is a mildly amusing rabbit hole. 😂
Also appears in the old tune "Istanbul not Constantinople"
When that chorus kicked in it gave me Eurovision vibes....
Haha you're right! I couldn't put my finger on it, but yes! It sounds like the entry from Moldova, or somewhere.
The spider part is ‘There’s a place in France where the naked ladies dance’ song 😂
Kesha
It has some great elements, but the chorus and the vocal in some places seem like he tries too hard.
Its a song from 1850’s called Arabian Riff. Its been reused so many times in so many films and songs
Your reactions make listening to songs like these infinitely more interesting and enjoyable!
Justin Biber and Nickelback had a baby?
Oh... it was stillborn. Rest in peace, little one 🪦😔
Honestly Justin, I love seeing where your brain goes in your reactions…the music prompts some “tangental meanderings” from you that are gold! Today’s pondering: Where will my chin go?😂
Well edited Jenny, love it👏🏻
"There's a place in France where the naked ladies dance."
That's the chorus. It's something we sang when we were kids. I think it's lame.
Where I lived, it was, in the land of France, where the ladies wear no pants
And the men wear glasses to see the ladies Asses??
All the girls in France
They don’t wear no underpants
When they climb a pole
You can see their hiney-hole.
Also the song gives me WWE wrestling entrance music vibes
I think it’s because it sounds like Animal I have Become by Three Days Grace, which was used a lot in the Smackdown vs Raw 2007 video game
Love Justin's honest and decisive reaction to the 'spidery bits'.
According to the nonfiction book "Devil in the White City", That snake charmer riff was made up on the spot when the belly dancers arrived for the Chicago world's fair (1893) with no musicians or sheet music.
Cheers for that, might just look it up!
One of my favorite authors!
I once saw The Darkness headline Y Not Festival in 2013 & It was like what i imagine watching The Stones or Thin Lizzy back in the day.
You Guys Were Awesome even though it was really windy and it rained allot and a few bands that year had to either cancel or shorten there set but The Darkness soldiered on like a spandex weatherballoon
Not my thing: When someone sings, you want singers to mean it. He does not sound like means it.
Not really my vocal style either, but he’s definitely at least putting effort into it.
Yeah man! If theirs one thing he IS doing? Is putting his all into this(and..all kinda other singles /Videos ) that are in the millions of veiws.
Sounds like a pop song. The voice sounds dead. It's bad.
I’ve been saying this about a lot of music for years, but people couple care less about that
Hands up if you, like myself, believe Justin would portray a fantastic Igor in any Dracula reiteration, and wallets out if you work adjacent to the film industry and want to see it happen. Chin up, mate- we'll make a star of you yet!
He'd also make an excellent assistant to Dr Frankenstein
@@ZuzuTheLemon😂😂😂
01:36...😂😂😂 brilliant!👏👏👏 I really never get tired of that joke🤣
it’s in the top jokes list along with “enough about my sex life”😂
Unlike the southern river band, this I’d like to unhear…
4:30 When your chorus is the "Snake Charmer" song, it's time to pack it in.
I’m sure your 33 subscribers agree with u😂😂😂
You know my subs personally? Impressive.
Catching up after having been out of town, and this gave me some good laughs now 😀 I've been missing stuff. The editing, especially, was so funny in this one! 😂 The music... Well... He had great hair!
Man, I finally found your channel bro, I'm so stoked right now 🤘
our version was In the land of Mars where the ladies smoke cigars; every puff they take is enough to kill a snake; when the snake is dead they put diamonds i his head, when the diamonds break it is 1968!
I started humming that familiar ditty same time as you. I decided that it sounded like music that the Russian male dancers bounce up down to while kicking out their legs with their arms crossed. I was curious and looked up more about him. Funny thing, he had a piece called "Why you should never sign with a record label." He mixes rap and rock and has a real sense of humor. Reminds me of an older artist I follow...
The melody of the chorus reminds me of something we used to sing in grade school at recess...All the ants in France do the hula-hula dance, and the dance they do is enough to kill a shrew, and the shrew they kill is enough to take a pill and the pill they take is enough to fry a snake....it goes on. All this animal cruelty, sheesh! I like the whole rest of this song, but this chorus me no like. I appreciate that he does all this himself. Social media is not all bad, or a waste of time. It can be a useful tool for discovering new music. Thanks for sharing this, Justin!
It’s the old snakecharmer melody
Yes !!!
Off topic: Saw my first Darkness concert here in Switzerland last Friday. Was really cool. Funny that i discovered the Darkness from the lick Library guitar lesson site who have a Learn to play the darkness dvd. Still stuck in a rut on the 3rd solo of i believe in a thing called love.
Obviously a fan of the band with that chorus. 😎
07:34 Being a huge Elvis fan, the first thing that popped into my head was "Adam And Evil" from the movie Spinout.
I think he is singing about when ‘The Darkness’ comes- in which case it needs some high pitch shrieking
Please, please don't say Metallica and Nickelback in the same sentence, dammit Justin
That’s the melody that children sang “there’s a place in France where the naked ladies dance…” to way back around 1980 when I was a little one
If this is the future of rock we are screwed.
It can't be the future of rock since it's not rock. It's more like... electronic dance pop with rock influences or something crap like that.
In case it wasn’t obvious already we’ve been screwed for a while now… still this is a special kind of bler
Feckin horrrrrrible
Lololol
Not sure if this is a troll log but tf you all smoking? 😂😂
This is the tune of a childhood song about France and underpants. I get really excited about the future of music when I watch 14 yr old Taj Farrant's videos from his current tour in the US. He's already performed with Carlos Santana, Orianthi, Rob Thomas and others. He's come to the attention of Prince's music director Morris Hayes, who came to one of his shows and is highly recommending people to go see him. He recently met with Joe Bonamassa too. He had two songs debut at #1 on the iTunes blues charts. I'm happy to see someone who can really shred on the guitar and sing.
Exactly what I hear
A question for comments day. I have a 1987 Kramer American Series Sustainer Guitar. The neck pickup was the one that did all sustaining and it is now dead. What is your neck pickup on your white Les Paul? Thanks. Great channel by the way.
Eurovision vibes.
I love your Nigel Tufnel impression at the end of this review.
Yeah, I dunno what that riff is either but it was used on 'Mother, I've Killed the Cat' by Phillip and his Foetus Vibrations - a 1980's classic if ever I heard one
The last thing the world needed, another nickelback
Hi Justin! First of all, I was in Nonantola for your show, I've waited that moment for 20 years and it was just biblical! With you rock and roll is safe!
Then, one question: I know that's not the important fact for you and your music, but if you could choose how to be remembered what would you prefer 1) a great singer 2) a great songwriter 3) a great guitarist ?
Thanks again for all of your music, and for your podcast! Rock and roll forever, Justin!
He's all three. A triple threat!
Hey man! Your exibition in Rome it was great! Rock on!
7:36 I know it from Istanbul (Not Constantinople):
🎵 Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way 🎵
Justin have you heard of Red Leather. His story is awesome. He does covers but his own stuff is great!
If I was 16 maybe I would love it, but one of the downsides of getting older is that I find it very derivative and could probably identify the theft / derivation / homage of every single riff & Melody, so I find it hard to enjoy
Good day to you Justin... 489k.... almost there to 500k🤘🤘❤ cheers🍻
The middle eastern riff is also the beginning of Steve Martin’s King Tut song. LOL
Actually that little familiar tune you sang, sounds just the same as ‘Istanbul not Constantinople’ by They Might Be Giants…the little bit in the middle to the words “Even Old New York was once New Amsterdam…” 🙂
Not for me, but good to see some rock that appeals to more people
Hi Justin. Saw you with my 11 year old son in Pratteln the other day and you guys were awesome, as expected. Been a fan since permission to land but never made to a gig. My daughter will be 10 next year so I hope you come back as she's well pissed off that she couldn't go as she loves your music. Pratteln is about 1hr 30.mins from us up in the Black Forest. Navi couldn't find its way out of the place 😂 . If you are ever up this way, pop round for a BBQ ( can do a veggie one also) and cup of tea. Keep up the good work, your podcasts are top class
How about reviewing bands that loose their front man or a band member but somehow manage to carry on. Like Kasabian recently....
Justin,
I think I can answer the question, "Is This The Future Of Rock?" No. Justin Hawkins is!
The Darkness Forever! Thank you for all the great music over the years!
vgv
The chorus of the song is a rhyme we used to sing as kids “In the land of France where the ladies wear no pants and the men go around with their ******* hanging down!” 😂
Hello mr Justin thanks for the video!
The melody is known as "The Streets of Cairo," "The Arabian RIff" or "The Poor Little Country Maid"
Sorry but I was stuck with the ‘thumb with a head on it’ 😂 love where your mind takes us
Not ad actually,I even like the changes! Makes me want to hear more!
The melody you're thinking of is literally called 'The snake charmer song' or 'Arabian riff'.
I first heard it with the lyrics 'In the south of France where they do the hula dance'
Long ago when I was in grade school, that melodic part, which is based on something old. We would sing, There’s a place on Mars where the women smoke cigars and a place in France where the women don’t wear pants and so on. So yes , I was 11 and was @1965. I guess it was originally a kinda snake charmer thing.
Can't get the back door of my house to shut! Have just come in, and it opened OK, but then when I went to close it -- it won't close. The doorframe seems to have dropped. Can't slam it because of the stain-glass! That's the only problem with really old houses, nothing straightforward. :0/
Nice shirt, Justin!
You should check our Creeper. Started as a goth punk band, but their new release is very Meatloaf! Might be more up your alley.
Agree, Justin should listen to creeper
Hi Justin, been a big fan of your work with darkness for years, idk if it's really your style but you should check out the soundtrack of Team Fortress 2, it's a near 2 decade old shooter that imo has some of the most diverse and downright well created music of its genre, hope you see this and wish you well!
This guy (Jeris, not Justin) sounds like the artist all the kids are into in one episode of a Cartoon Network show from 2003. You know the one. He'd turn up 5 minutes into the episode, and the main cast would end up helping him with his performance anxiety so he could play the best show ever in their gymnasium. And at the end, he'd give the main character his guitar, and tell them "Keep on rockin'".
It’s good people are still making NüMetal, roofers and excons need something to listen to these days.
'Wilson, Keppel and Betty' spring to mind 😫
Fab t-shirt Justin!
Guitarist and drummer are great, music wasn't bad until they went all weird and keyboardy, I thought I was in some weird Tim Burton world for a sec. I have to say, I love it when you grab the guitar in every video, my husband does the same thing everytime he watches music videos on youtube, brilliant stuff. :)
That’s what I call TikTok ‘n’ Roll
He’s so cool I’m a big Jeris fan
one of the versions of the snake charmer music is
"There's a place called Mars
Where the women smoke cigars
And the men run around
With their pants upside down."
Like a face drawn on a thumb lol. Comedy gold
Sounds like a tune from Fiddler on the Roof !
Dude totally went with there's a place in France where the necked ladies dance nursery rhyme.
Wow each to their own, not one for me though. Nice one.
Yeah Jeris Johnson - he's very cool. Nice hair. And his voice does sound like Nickelback. Great video too - especially the end with that flying bat.
When you asked about that melody it reminded me of Rasputin by Boney M. When I actually compare the two songs that melody is similar but neither of the songs sound the same.
As for chins - I think you'll be fine. I don't think you're going to go the flappy way or the thumb way, why not try some chin yoga - keep it in shape? 🤣🤣🤣
@@quisil666 Maybe we should ask these people? ua-cam.com/video/MRGxuYB3lJ8/v-deo.html
I really like your Abba t shirt
Nickleback with a touch of Corey Feldman
LOL! Great reaction, thanks!
Oo lala Justin! ESQUIRE magazine. Pretty kwel. Thing Called Love. We love ya.❤️🌎👍🏿
This is Justin Hawkins and this is Justin Hawkins right again
The future of Rock is 8yr old Ryder B. He already has a drumstick hanging on the wall at the Rainbow, and played the Whisky on Nov 20th.
Haha great job on the outro Justin lol- hey that Melody thing they do is from an old children’s schoolyard limerick or something.. probably meant to hurt someone’s feelers - I probably sang the bit
Well when they do a new Adams Family live action movie this will be perfect
I can't be the only person that hears the opening credits theme from John Carpenter's In The Mouth of Madness in that intro.
The Beaches are the present, AND future of rock. Can’t believe they’ve been missed here ;)
I remember that music from the Commodore 64 game Bombjack.
I like it! And the chorus you never expected too 😂
I think it is based in some popular melody...
"Scary Halloween Nickelback hair " music...😂🕷🕸👻
Eurovision quality metal.
If this is new Rock... no thanks.
7:22 It sounds like a VERY OLD (when everything was black and white ) song sang in the the UK school playgrounds which went:
The girls in Spain Wash their knickers in Champagne
And the boys in France Do the hula-hula dance
This sounds insane but it is the truth :)
When are you coming to Scandinavia?
HEY! Leave my shin out of it! 😂😂😂😂😂
man cool! just saw this dude on an IG ad a couple of days ago and here he is on fuckîng Justin Hawkins' right on
THERES A PLACE IN FRANCE WHERE THE NAKED LADIES DANCE!!! TRHATS WHERE ITS FROM
I've done the rough maths, Andrew W K and nickleback may have had sex in the late 90s leading to what we're experiencing here
Not my jam,but cool to see something gaining traction in the rock realm.
The spidery bit is 100% Kesha’s Take It Off (which samples streets of Cairo)
I was just thinking this and looking for a comment that agreed
Next years Eurovision entrants!?
Come back the comeback king !
Chorus sounds like song from nightmare before xmas.
If Tom Waits did Rock-Metal! 😂
Seriously though, the familiar part reminds me of his song ‘Underground’. There’s also a hint of Sans and Papyrus’ ‘To The Bone’ song as well as a heavy Nickleback influence. Gotta say, I kinda love it! 😅 If nothing else, it’s catchy AF.
The guitar might be a Minarik Inferno
