- BABYMETAL and Electric Callboy have collaborated on "Ratatata" - but is it any good? It's lighting up the algorithms, so millions of viewers can't be wrong. Can they? What does it mean? Are they having a laugh? What do you think?

The thing about Electric Callboy, and what makes them so great, is that they don't care about being the best, the most talented, etc. They just simply want to make music and above all, have fun.
Exactly the same reason I love steel panther, they're incredibly talented but they just want to have fun
@Woofmark They're the Bloodhound Gang of the metal world
"I dont want to be the best, I just want to do my best"
First and foremost they want to make money, I think no one can doubt that.
@@DasIstDerMars That's okay. They invest a lot.
It's as serious as it can be when they're wearing mirror ball hats.
Right? "Are they taking the piss?" Electric Callboy is, to some degree, always.
@@dianem8544 serious about piss taking 😄
As a forty year old white dude that dances like them, I'm not sure how anyone could not know how serious things are when you Kool aid man 3 walls
@@dianem8544they're Shrodinger's piss, it depends on if and how you look at it
@@ZuzuTheLemon Diligently piss-taking, like it's their job.
Both groups seem to be serious about having fun with it.
Well.. Fun shoudn't be taken lightly!
Electric callboy are German. For us, fun isn't a laughing matter.
@@unbekannternutzer25 Yeah! We take fun fucking serious here!

"There should be another pair of tatas in there" - Justin Hawkins 2024
Actually there is a RATATATA. You can hear it when the 3 ladys pop up, right before the much too short break down.
But in the rest they sing ratatataTATA.
@@Lakin3 I think you're missing the joke here... Get your mind in the gutter
@@Lakin3 swooosh...
I was in tears. 😂😂😂
You could say there was a trio in there... sorry i'll get my coat.
Both Electric Callboy and Babymetal are unapologetically fun bands.
also killer bands . So much to discover
the lack of slack on your headphone wire is stressing me out.
😂😂😂
Me too...now you pointed it out 🤣🤣🤣
I now feel strangled watching 😮
ha
luckily you can see through his desk and see its a coiled cord keeping the tension.
For what it's worth, Rob Zombie fully endorses Baby Metal.
As does Rob Halford.
@@hevytimes All the Robs!
..and members of Slayer
..and Metallica
...Foo Fighters.
Seen a lot of reactions to this, but none had the scintillating Gillete ad commentary.
😅
Everything Electric Callboy have done in the past three years has been absolute genius.
And don;t be fooled by how much fun they are. What they do musically is extremely complicated and difficult, and they do it flawlessly.
The remark I always see about Electric Callboy is "they don't take themselves seriously, but they do take their music seriously"
Bro, musically it's anything but complicated :D it's fun though
@@AnthonyWabo listen to their other song's. Their production is stellar, both the techno and the metal elements. And blending them as perfectly as the do takes tremendous skill
@@RolandDeschain1 I think We Butter The Bread With Butter does it a hundred times better, Enter Shikari even, and despite me still following EC, their sound since Crystals/The Scene has really dumbed down and they lean more and more into their gimmick.
@@AnthonyWabo if it works it works
I’ve loosely followed BabyMetal for years, but I found EC through this channel the first time you covered them, and I’ve not stopped listening to them since, they’re genius.
All of them are extremely talented with multiple side projects, and their aggressive happiness is refreshing AF. They do serious music too and damn it’s good, if you listen to their full body of work and l watch their vlogs, you can see they know exactly where their feet are. This is a great collab.
While I'm 99% sure Electric Callboy falls in the "metalcore" genre, I'm very partial to the "meme core" designation someone else applied to them, because their music (and videos) since Hypa Hypa have been catchy, fun, meme-worthy, and just an absolute delight. They're truly the "This is where the fun metal things happen" band, and I love them for it.
They are electronicore, which is a subgenre of metalcore, but I definitely rank them as memecore because electronicore often leans more heavily into the metalcore and prog than EC does.
@@Hymnodic Nice catch! I had a brainfart, and completely forgot about electronicore! D'oh! :)
I've thought the genre electric callboy does is "partycore". Not many people like harsh vocals in the grand scheme of things but combining them with a techno sound and clean vocals mixed in makes their stuff a great thing to play at parties
They have made a song that metalheads want to dance to and non-metal fans want to headbang to with abandon. That's quite an achievement. It has a 90's feel when people were being exposed to both grunge and dance music and wanted to listen to both.
They have crafted something that appeals to everyone exept the minority of people it was probably never going to appeal to anyway no matter what they did. I'm sure most fans who are still on the fence will come around when they see or hear it live.
Why did they do this? Because they knew they could do it and knew we needed it.
Let's make Ratatata this summer summer's song.
Great to have you back Mr Hawkins!
So, so glad I watched right to the end! Thanks Justin!! xx
You just gotta love Justin.....
I try to play guitar , but to watch him figure out every chord, melody and timing in a heartbeat is fucking brilliant.
On ye go JUSTIN fucking HAWKINS.
He's good 😎🤘
Funny shit entertaining man.
I have never been this early! I just wanted to tell you that I didn't know you before I watched your Sleep Token videos and I really like your vibe! We need more musicians to react to other musicians online! As someone who was born and raised in Berlin, I am genuinely proud of how far Electric Callboy has come!
Your translation for that commercial was pretty correct btw haha
He did a good collab/interview with The Charismatic Voice as well. And she did some great reaction/analysis of his songs/performance as well before that.
They both ( Baby Metal & Electric Callboy ) are playing this years Download festival. Wonder if they will play this together on stage
Probably, they've already played it live together at Fox Fest
If they do it'll be at babymetal's set as I think babymetal are playing another fest during ECs set
When they played it at FOX_FEST it was during Babymetal's set. Kevin and Nico came out and the Kami Band played the instrumental parts.
They played this song live in Japan, I would imagine they'll do the same where Nico and Kevin appear on BABYMETAL's show. But I don't imagine this will be done very often because of the outfits Nico and Kevin wear. They essentially have to have someone's hand up their ass to wire their in ears up.
@@TheOmegaRiddler yeah I saw tanks video I don't think it'll stop them but I doubt either would play it without the other band being present
I bloody love it. Playing on repeat. The girls are definitely tongue in cheek in this one.
I’m happy that you’re back making videos on CZcams, I’ve missed that J Hawk charm/wit. Bring the Rides Again Tour over to the States. We need it.
Just watched some of your live footage..you fucking rock dude.
I see what you did! Making sure people watch right to the end. 😅
You had me laughing all the way through this one. The at the end "I didn't know Justin had a sist....OH MY GAWD"! Loved it.
So glad you’re back.
I love this song so frigging much
I love the facts that Momoko screams in this song. She is amazing.
In tents! ;)
You are easily one of my favorite humans, thank you for being so authentic and wonderful!!
Nice to have you back and making videos again, hope the couple .months off did you good.
Justin I have to thank you for your reviews. So many of these songs I play in my car, and my daughter asks "WTF is this?" Then 3 days later, it's trending on TikTok, and my daughter loves it. Now, she thinks I am at the forefront of trending music. Thank you for helping me relate to my daughter through music and be more relevant in her eyes. You rock.
Oh my god I just saw you're coming to Finland in june. Thank you so much. Instant ticket purchase!
The girls perfectly choreographed in front and the lads doing dad dance at the back is hilarious. According to the "behind the scenes" they weren't trying to look goofy but just couldn't get the moves right.,
Saw Electric Callboy last year, so much fuckin fun dude. BABYMETAL look like they put on a great show too
Saw them supporting Sabaton last year, one minute we were laughing along with them, next we were balling our eyes out at christmas truce.....it was an experience
Watch 'Road of Resistance live in Japan" - yeah, it's a "little" show they do there ;-)
I'm not a big Babymetal fan (too much J-pop in the J-metal for me, but they are undeniably great at what they do), but I did check out one of the live performances they uploaded to CZcams and it was very enjoyable. Pure spectacle.
@@BugattiONE666I was at that concert last year too, it was awesome from start to finish. Lordi surprised me, they put on a good show too and I haven't heard any of their stuff outside of Hard Rock Hallelujah
Love the editing for this one
The closing dressed as Robert Plant the morning after in his new concert wear. LOL
This guy is freaking brilliant love it! Those ‘rrrrr’ pronunciations 😂
OMG! Love the whistling bit at the end 😊
next time he's gonna learn the dance 🙂
You are freakin’ hilarious. Thanks for all the laughs!
I saw someone describe this song as four choruses and a breakdown stapled together and I can't unhear it.
Great to see you back!
How were the gigs?!
HOLY SHIT this i wasn’t expecting didn’t know you had a YT channel subbed!!!
I appreciate your honest noodling at the opening and closing segments. Half the time you’re like “ehhhhh good enough” and I think that takes some balls.
Idk why but I went into thinking you were covering royal republic for a second 😂
The whistler at the end was the best 👌
JUSTIN HAWKINS RIDES AGAIN JUST FOR YOU GUYS AGAIN 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
You mean they left out a pair of tata's!😂😂😂
I am really enjoying this channel Mr. Hawkins
Justin Fucking Hawkins Rides Againnnnn!!!!! 🤘🏽🎶🎶🎶
I always look for this comment. Nice to "see" you.... AGAIN! 🙂
🤘🏻
having fun is cool again...
It's about f***ing time...
The Camp joke just made me subscribe. Lol
I saw them collaborate in Tokyo this past weekend and they were both incredible live! (As were the Darkness a short while back!)
THE END HELP
Highlight of last week's Rock im Park festival. And they performed it twice!
Thr happiness they make us feel with the music is what it's all about
I had no idea Justin Hawkins had a channel. Awesome.
This song is so good and the video a lot of fun.
1st song sounds like Eurovision 2023 song from Finland, "Cha cha cha".
There really should be a “Funny” button next to the like button. You kill me.
Everytime one of those adds, that i've heard enough of (also the Swiss-German/German version), comes up, I wonder how long it takes until Justin installs a working Add-Block... xD
In regards to that briefe comment about sounding like the finnish eurovision entry: the times where EC was in the talks for eurovision are sadly gone. But i guess that you would understand their song "Hurrikan" given the time you spent already in German speaking Switzerland...
You're back!!!
liked just for the 'in tents' joke alone ;)
Brother you do things so right that your doing circles... a compliment really.
Gonna watch this vid again just to hear you say "grrrrrroup" again;)
Yep- really enjoyed this
Melt-Banana is my favourite Japanese band .
I love the behind the scenes stuff EC have said on this, that Babymetal wanted to meet them (which surprised Kevin), and also that they wrote this together as a full collaboration. It felt like both sides just really enjoyed working together, and it wasn't a money-grab. I don't know Babymetal well, but have followed EC for quite a few years - lot of respect for their love of music.
minute mark and all i did for the next 2 minutes is dead-pan stare as i hit the pause. you know what you did.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuude. I watch your videos regularely but only NOW realize that you are the Guy from "The Darkness!"
WOOW. I loved it when it came out. It was brilliant!!!!
The video is brilliant and just what the world needs now. Been binge watching it since yesterday and have forgotten about the news. Music is a weird mixture of 90's dance beat, electronic metal and hmm... Eurovision. Whatever it is, it's catchy and fun.
Knew (new) fan here Mr. Hawkins. I really enjoy your channel.
They made a proper banger here. Too many bands take themselves so seriously in metal, it's refreshing to see and hear stuff like this.
Tune of the Summer !
Not my bag baby
I'm mostly watching the channel for your vocabulary 😘 such an intense fellow!
That comment you made about aces wig, was hilarious
I didn't think this one was that great.
I love that pretty little "Gimme Chocolate" ditty at the end -- I hope Justin puts that at the end of a future album.😁
That deserves a full cover, great vibe.
OMG, I have that Hasselhoff as well. Hi, Justin. I adore your music.
EDIT: (Yes, I am german)
This was brilliant
I hope both bands see your reaction! Id fangirl harddd of I saw you react to my music and I'm sure EC and BM would too😍🖤
Fucking brilliant fun. Love it and my 7 year old daughter has just exploded after seeing Babymetal. Mr Hawkin you are my daughters hero for playing this and to be honest I love the fun of it. Cheers mate 👍
Then 41 years old myself exploded too when I saw BM the first time live.
Sorry to hear about your exploded daughter
love ya man !
Great to have you back, dude. Maybe check out Castle Rat. I think they might be your cup of tea. Peace from Edinburgh
The piss? This is GENIUS!!
Was wondering when you'd pick this up. It's a banger. Love a good whoop whoop in a record.
If an algorithm can suppress trends I’m sure they absolutely invent them.
You can never leave out the Ta Tas. 😆
"Are they taking the piss" I mean sort of😂
I think Justin dropping us a dad joke on every reaction is a must 😂
Came for Electric Callboy. Stayed for Justin Hawkins - love your attitude :D
It really has a hook.its all ready playing in my brain.we need to start having fun with music.
You’re just way too polite in your critiques, which makes your videos all the more hilarious……well done, Sir….and welcome back!
I always feel like it’s a friendly jab at dance music almost like saying look how easy this is with instruments 😂
Both bands on most of their tracks are about fun and getting you to dance along with them. They do have serious songs but even those are meant to get a certain emotion out of you. Its all specifically targeted the way they write. I appreciate this was not a "featuring" track and that both groups wrote it together as a true collaboration. That being said this was a great blend of both their styles. Both clean singers harmonized well and its fun that one of the Babymetal ladies can do the growl vocals and they meshed the harsh together. I much prefer the cohesive blend than a juxtaposition like some artists do. Hopefully they do more work together because this is just a fun upbeat addition to the playlist.
00:55 He did it again!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant!!! Hats off!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
And the last part singing like a nightingale🐦 while doing the Babymetal impression with the dress...😂😂😂😂
Thanks Justin!😘
I need to get me one of them hats.
Love your German translations :)
Loved this. Electric Callboy are hilarious.
Just finished watching a reaction to Thing Called Love over by The Charismatic Voice and dude she's a big fan now LOL.
You said the words "hotel" and "California" consecutively. Henley's crew might be on the lookout!
What's even worse is Baby Callboy might've used a similar chord to the last chord in Hot** ****fornia! They'd better lawyer up, too.
Was hoping there would be a review on this.
Love the dress at the end.
