- After a month since the upload, 500K+ views, and many a discussion in the comment section, I thought I would make a short video explaining the creative process of my "Barbie Girl" parody in the style of Sabaton.
All songs used in this video are pitch shifted to better demonstrate similarity
Recorded at Knight in a Hightower Studios

I forgot to mention in the video, the falsetto “Barbie” vocals were done by Daniel Parker as an afterthought after we recorded lead vocals. Though it’s not very much in the vein of Sabaton to have a singing style like this, we settled on it since the lines didn't work very well with only the lower Baritone style. We also tracked more background vocals over the chorus to give it a choir effect. Daniel Parker, Eddy DiGiulio and I stood around the mic and tracked vocals at the same time.
all i wish for is another parody i listened to this song on repeat for 2h while driving to italy
I need to know .. Did you know that Tommy Johansson , one of the guitarists in Sabaton, is know for his high vocals ( all the way up to the female range) when you added the high vocals ( he is amazing) it’s just so perfect.
If you have not heard Tommy : czcams.com/video/pxwo77TEo3w/video.html
The falsetto vocals are very reminescent of Sabaton - Steel Commanders where Tommy's vocals are allowed to shine at 2:30. It's a very nice touch to your song.
you are a hero mate record the dates you did this and they might make a song about you 🤣more existing songs should have been written by sabaton
We need to get Sabaton sing this song live
It might actually be possible since defense of Moscow was a fan made song and sabaton made a cover of it
@@Megatroll123 Defend of Moscow is a song not created by fans. The original was created by Russian singer Radio Tapok. Sabaton did a cover of his song.
@@ValorGuard and radio tapok is a fan of sabaton
joakim DID do it on karaoke at one time/ forget the source though
oh some guy named pansardoden on youtube sorry
the cover is actually fire
Yeah
Mutch beter then the original song 😁
Better than most of their newer stuff imo
The world needs more sabatonified songs.
Okay so:
1. Please do more of these (I mean covers in like band style with analysis afterwards)
2. I see that you have underestimated the power of the memes, a surprisingly common mistake
3. So why do English speakers struggle with rolled "r" so much? Like this is a genuine question, my first language doesn't exactly have an unrolled variant and I'm kinda curious why it's considered difficult
1. After all the positive comments, I just might have to!
2. Indeed I have. I've preferred to invest my time in more "serious" projects, but the attention that meme material has brought is undeniable. Plus, it's fun!
3. In America and in my upstate NY dialect, we don't have a rolled "r" sound that's used in common language. Furthermore, the education system where I live doesn't push learning other languages until middle school (ages 11-13) when we've already established our speaking patterns. (I think this is a HUGE flaw in the American Education system.) To me, this has led to being a grown adult, who still struggles with the rolled "r" since I never learned it an an age where I could absorb it and internalize the feeling of properly executing it.
I'm german and barely noticed a rolling R. funnily, my german accent in English is strong as hell
On point 3. It can actually be quite difficult to learn new speech sounds as an adult. There's a period of development in early childhood where speech sounds are learned naturally and categorised as phonemes and allophones in the brain, and after that it becomes less natural and more difficult.
When I was studying linguistics we had to learn to pronounce *all* possible speech sounds, but it was nearly impossible even with knowledge of the vocal tract and lots of practice. I still can't get the Arabic glottal h or German uvular r.
If you made "If Sabaton Wrote I'm Just Ken" it would be one of the greatest covers ever and would probably inspire Sabaton to sing it.
thank you for making a song about the battle of barbieland. truly a ground breaking moment in history 🙏
This came up in my spotify discover and nearly cried when it said "in 1959" at the end. I love Sabaton always mentioning the year something happened.
At first I expected this to be an AI voice song, turns out it was LIT and now I listen to it almost every day
never in a million years would have I thought : " what Sonata Arctica, Nightwish and Sabaton have all in common ? answer : Barbie Girl".
Just one word: BRILLIANT ✨ You did an amazing job and it really seems like Joakim and Tommy joined together to sing and play in the name of the mighty Metal Barbie 🪖🎀
You did an amazing job! I didn't realise you did the vocals - that is amazing!
My cat is gentle before we listend to your song... after listening to the song he's a freaking lion now....
My friends and I accidentally ran across the doing while goofing around before a vc DND session where I was the dj sharing my screen to provide music. I saw your video’s thumbnail and was flabbergasted to say the least. My friend immediately demanded we listen to it before anything else.
The only criticism we had was that you forgot the Sabaton key change in the last chorus.
We need more your covers! It is fantastic!
This is literally the greatest thing I have ever heard! Thank you so much!!
This song is a masterpiece, i'm hearing it on repeat
This is a massive hit. I hope they do it Live !
I would certainly appreciate more style covers. You certainly know what you're doing, and I certainly enjoyed it.
The cover is amazing, I would love to see more of those types of covers, not just for Sabaton but other bands too.
You are obviously extremely skilled!
Please make more! :D
Music video when? We need aviators, armored vests and camo pants, and lots of fist pumping, punching, pounding and pointing
you beautiful soul uploaded it to Spotify, thank you so so much!
Do more of theses covers please!
We need more of this stuff!!
I actually got to hang out with Joakim for about 20 minutes after a show. Dude is COOL AF!!!! LOL Super funny, nice guy, great with fans ( loves the fans) very intelligent, articulate and badass conversationalist too. Met Par as well, nice guy as well!!!! LOVE this Sabaton-Barbie Girl. This is a Sabaton parody that Sabaton themselves would love. I guarantee it. LOL Joakim is SUPER authentic and down to Earth , bro.
Great work🎉
Thanks for these insights! It's interesting to know where the idea came from and how it was put together :)
This came up in my Spotify Discovery and then CZcams recommended right after
Whatever you are doing, the algorithms really love it
I think my survival is tied to seeing more "If Sabaton wrote" videos from you, this is hilarious and so well-made!
I found the song at random. Absolutely loved it. Sent it to friends and family. It's on my playlist for when I'm painting my Warhammer minis
A masterpiece.
Good stuff Zane! I am usually not a big fan of covers, but I think you should keep doing them
Maybe make it i to a weekly series or something. I really like that you did a seperate video to school is on how it was done. Also, crediting Dan was rad too, maybe if you get a million views he'll actually let me within 70 yards of his hair with a pair of Scissors! (If he doesn't get wiped out by a Chandelier first)
Yo. U look like u always drunk, and i love it lol
Friggen loved it!!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🧨
great job dude!!the song rocked HARD🤘😎🤘
it is just perfect! make more!
love it and I listen to it unironically
the cover is amazing bro
I know very little about music theory and this level of a breakdown but that was really interesting. Thanks man
Amazing parody/cover, when I first heard it I remember thinking to myself "damn A.I. really has come a long way" but no, this man got an entire band to play this song! Mad respect man, great job on the vocals too. Genuinely sounds exactly like Mr. Brodén!
The scary thing is that i can't stop to listening this. Awesome!
You guys did so good i was convinced this was a really well did ai cover after it turned out it wasn't actually sabaton that was doing it
Gawddamn man, I thought it was another a.i. song, you're brilliant and also very good at explaining how you managed to make such an accurate song to an improbable musical scenario. It's basically "when shitpost is taken seriously", just my type of content. Keep it up, dude!
That cover was on my Spotify's "Discower Weekly" playlist and I was completely sure it was Jocke's side project or something as the Barbie movie had quite recently come to movie theaters. Nice to see the man behind the cover and some "how it was made".
Your skills are impressive
Thank you
i thought that was a really good AI cover. It's perfect! Congratulation! You are a truly accomplished Artist!
It was so interesting, if you do more music like that, pls make also an explanation video it was so interesting!
A brave and innovative guy. Congratulations, your version is excellent.
OMG YOU ARE A FREAKING GENIUS! Now where is the petition for Sabaton to do a live version?
Might or might not have contributed to atleast 400 000 of those million view, whoooops. But the cover is really fire, I want more
legend
I would love more music theory videos like this
you're a genius 🙏
Really love a guitar solo in song last part
Since you can see where and on what video people sub on, imma sub on this video since I admire the effort you put into it and your humility under this staggering and unpredicted achievement is honorable. More of your funny by nonetheless effort-filled work!
Well done :)
Bro, you're genius
Nice!
Genuinely thought you'd used AI to spoof the voice, so well done.
I LOVE YOU
Given what your regular speaking voice sounds like, I am impressed at how believably you imitate Joakim singing.😆
Good watch ty.
Whenever, wherever by shakira would make another awesome sabaton cover!
Well done, good sir. I'm very glad to hear this kind of content done by talented people like yourself instead of that AI bs. I don't know if Joakim would approve of this or not, but I certainly do!
Yep Joakim deffinitely taking you for a crossover recording session
This is genius
i want more xD
You should definitely do I’m Just Ken as a Sabaton song next
My favorite line in the whole song was "IN 1959". I thought it was just a silly throwaway line added simply so that the song will feel a lot more like a Sabaton song and boy oh boy am I surprised to know that it's actually tied to real history and now I have found a deeper appreciation for that line LOL
"wouldn't that be funny." is funny to me.
My mother describes all the hell I put her through as a kid as "It's not that (me) was a bad kid, in fact he's an angel in most ways, but every once in a while he would think to himself, "Now wouldn't this be neat?" which led to me fighting a heart attack."
fucking legend
Goria eterna a los caidos de Barbieland
Can we has more "If Sabaton did...." please 🙏
Make a Sabaton Version of "In heaven there is no beer" 😂
It's so good and funny cover. Thanks for making it xD
And what's the song on 0:38?
Fifty to a hundred views?
Can't have that!
Mate I thought the voice was AI, you *killed* it as Joakim
0:49 that sounded A LOT like Attero Dominatus holy crap
This is fucking legendary haha. Am i allowed to use the song for a Nightcore version? I'll make a lot out of the video, but I don't wanna just steal it, so I ask for permission first :D
oh look its bill bailey
That's a relief. I thought it was AI for minute there.
Seeing that Tommy Johansson said in his last q&a that he won't be uploading any more disneyton material, would you think about taking over that flag?^^
please do california gurls
Yes, the 'R' are weird, but the rest is great!
More plox
Try also Barbie wrote by Powerwolf sir! 😊
"if they had covered this..."
Pls do the "I'm just Ken" from yhe actual Darbie movie
I thought this was an AI. I'm relieved a real guy made it.
Anyone know if Joakim has seen this?
We didn't deserve this song. You are a god among men ;)
☺️🤘🔥👌💯
Do you have the tabs for the guitar?
Unfortunately, I do not have tabs :(
Do Let it go from frozen, it could be so good.
The lyrics “my life in plastic and is fantastic” seem like broken English. Is that a sabatonism?
Isn't it sad how life works? You put years into perfectioning your passion craft - and get 0 attention. Then do a joke side-project - and it explodes.
well to make it worse, that R of Joakim is from his czech part, so it is Czech R and dont worry. You did not met Ř jet.
Its actually Sabaton
