Definitely a song where it's a shame that the reaction is to a lyric video rather than to a performance. Lex is spot on about the Queen influence though!
I have a feeling if the song doesn't have a lyric video, Brad wouldn't touch it.
@@cindychoptovy8442 Which is dumb, because so many songs are driven by their music video.
Yeah they need to start reacting to the music video's because sometimes they actually do add to the song.
@@dsfddsgh They seriously reacted to the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody and not the actual video. God, I hope they don't make the same mistake with I Want to Break Free.
Man I hated this song so much when it came out. I mean I like Queen and everything but this guy's just like bargain-basement version
“World’s shortest guitar solo!”
It’s ok. There’s two more.
Lol 😂
The darkness are by a mile the best live act I’ve ever seen. They are out of this world. Justin Hawkins (lead singer/guitarist) got on the shoulders of a bouncer and played a guitar solo while being piggybacked through the crowd. Insane.
I forgot; they had to stop the show at some point because someone had a seizure in the mosh pit...so they stop playing while the bouncers get to the guy and help him. To entertain the crowd. Justin does about 3 minutes of stand up comedy followed by a solo rendition of jump by van halen on the synthesiser.
I mean, c‘mon...
I was at a Darkness gig and witnessed that in first row. One of the best things I've ever seen at a concert 😃
Like what Freddie Mercury did with a Superman and Darth Vader cosplayer during a show.
They are by far the best damn band ive ever heard live
He jumped off a balcony in the show I went to. So flipping amazing!!
Roger Taylor's son now drums for the darkness! True fact.
Lex you nailed your comparisons. I remember when this came out, their singer described themselves as being a gay AC/DC or a straight Queen. You picked it up completely!
The Darkness debut-album is phenomenal! And so is Justin Hawkins, both as a singer and guitarist!😁
Yeah, it's a banger.
I remember his voice mostly from Uk Commercials
@@Dom-zr9zu Bodyform?
@@balucious yes 👍
@@Dom-zr9zu Tenuous Trivia Bit! The 'Bodyform singer' is the same lady doing backing vocals on 'Loveshit' by The Wildhearts. I'll get me jacket.
This song requires the actual music video. It's like reacting to the lyrics of Bohemian Rhapsody, I Want to Break Free or Bad Romance. The videos are amazing and necessary to understand context. You couldn't react to This is America by Childish Gambino without the actual video.
I Believe in a Thing Called Love has one of the greatest music videos in history
Shit I don't think I ever caught it, thanks for the heads up
Just watched it. Not necessary to provide context. It was just a weird video.
@@stich21 The video is necessary
Love this song - never seen the video. Does that mean I don't really like it?
@@melissas4874 No, but you should watch it. Similar to the video for Sharp Dressed Man by ZZ Top, the video is story driven and adds a chef's kiss to the song.
Does anyone else get nervous when Brad does "the hover hand" during a guitar solo?
👍😂
The best 70s rock record that wasn't made in the 70s!
And, they are truly AMAZING live!
Next to "You Deserve Love" by White Reaper.
Black Crowes did it.
Without the music video: "Oh, what a fun little love song!"
With the music video: "What kind of Space Odyssey, tentacle orgy, acid trip is this?"
This used to be my daughter's favourite band. I remember when she and a friend went to a concert of theirs and waited outside afterwards to see them come out. Justin Hawkins (the singer) spoke to them and was very nice. That made their day.
That smile on Lex’s face is just how we looked when this album first came out! The Darkness are great fun and way too underrated when it comes to musicianship and songwriting.
There was a very short space in time where it felt like, at least in the UK, The Darkness were the biggest thing in the world, and a year later dropped off the face of the earth. This album was a fantasic ode to classic rock and it was like a breath of fresh air at the time. It's totally non-serious, yet somehow manages to not feel like a parody or a piss-take.
I recommend checking out 'Friday Night' and 'Growing On Me'.
Also check out Justin Hawkin's (lead singer) cover of 'This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us'. Better yet, check out the Sparks original.
Or get your hands of my woman
One of the things I most enjoy about The Darkness is that they come from East Anglia, a part of Britain that's like a cross between the American Deep South and Alaska, only tiny.
You gotta love Lex sitting back and bopping away like a nodding-head dog, great big smile on her face.
This album permission to land is epic,got my tickets for the Dublin gig💪💪they always put on a great show
I saw them opening for guns n roses once. I bet its not their fault but both bands sounded absolutely terrible live. I feel as if though this one could be blamed on the sound technicians though. I hate it when you go to a show and instantly can tell this one will suck. Stadium gigs is the worst more often than not.
I love lex's reaction when she hears new music she never heard before lol it's adorable
I remember when this came out, somewhere around 03 or so. It was so different, loved it! Reminded me of old school Queen too, the glory days stadium rock.
This band rules. Like they don’t take themselves seriously, but are still seriously awesome. Please react to the video though, it’s hilarious.
This was our wedding walkout song. Love it!
They brought back the 80' rock sound in the early 2000's. I owned this CD but sadly lost it in a car crash.
What a great uplifting easy going feel good song. Never fails to pick me up when I'm down. So cheesy but all the better for it. When it came out the charts were dominated by boy bands and naff pop that it was a breath of fresh air. Should check out Electric Six. Came out around the same time with the same kind of tongue in cheek rock vibe. My favourite was Gay Bar.
0:57-1:08 Lex has the most adorable reaction to the high pitch vocals EVER!! 😊😊
I loved this band, such a shame how short lived there time was in the charts. Great theatrical rock that didn't take itself too seriously 😄
Lex is so darn cute in a lot of her reaction videos. She makes my day brighter on a daily. 😊👌 Luvs y'all! Keep doing what ya doing.
Lex is adorable.
Lyric video: "Get down!"
Justin Hawkins: "Excuse me? That's not what I said"
that smile is so infectious a lass that loves music no matter what genre.keep at it :)
At your leisure you need to checkout the video ... It’s explains a lot ... You have to get the visual experience.. 🤣😂🤣
Great that you picked this song! While following strong Queen influences, you should take the next step and check out The Struts - "One Night Only" or "Body Talks". Much more recent, but the Queen influence is unabashedly out front and center.
Had to look to see if anyone else had mentioned it. I was floored by the similarities when I first heard The Struts.
This entire video is worth watching for Lex's reactions alone. This was so fun.
Right i know,genius singer. I agree with Brad this is the greatest singing possible ever and forever!!!
I love Lex. Brad- this dude's in love he's hitting a whole lotta high notes... and Lex- that's how you access them notes? I can't stop laughing.
I remember watching this band open Glastonbury Festival one year. It was about 10:30am on an overcast Friday morning. The lead singer had three costume changes in a 30 minute set Great fun.
lol I haven't heard ths song in years. To think I actually LOVED this song. I hear it now and I am just like "wtf, how did I like this?" lmao
To each their own ofc but to me, nah, it's a banger and it always will be 😆, especially the solos. That whole first album was a brilliant, Queen-esque cheesefest where the songs were simultaneously really well written.
It has sold 647,000 copies in the U.S. as of February 2012.[5] Sales in the UK were 381,373 copies as of November 2017 according to the Official Charts Company.[1]
GOT TO REACT TO VIDEO! Love see reaction to it, even if blur it...it WILD!! PLEASE!!
Thank you for reacting to this band!! Love this band so much even though my hubby makes fun of the singer I still make him listen to them lol. I so hope you do more reactions to this truly Rock N' Roll band. Their videos rely show their sense of humor also. I hope you check out more! 🤘
It’s the rockers joking around,loved it.
I listen to metal music but I love this song!!!
Just not the same vibe without the official video. It puts the tongue-in-cheek nature of the song into context.
The music video is wild.
It’s hilarious!!
Bang on with the Queen references. I saw the Darkness live in London ten years ago and for the encore, Brian May (Queen guitarist) came out with them and they did a few Queen covers!
I think The Darkness is a fantastic combo of 70’s glam and 80’s hair metal.
Also, watch the music video foe this song! They are so much fun!
I owned this album. Some real feeling in what's supposed to be fun, parody metal. ❤🔥
It's more of a Glam Rock edge and yeah it's pretty cheesy, self-aware and parodic, I also agree it's fun and has some real feeling, it's really good…
Love a Lex squeal when she hears something she wasn’t expecting
Yall should watch the music vid for this one. Funny as hell 🤣
Lex is feeling it! Glad you reacted to this one. One of my favorite songs!
One of my favorite channels and one of my favorite couples!
A short guitar solo is also what's known as a lead break, I like this song.
Completely forgot about this song. Thanks to whoever suggested it
cool band, very tongue-in-cheek. lead singer, also guitarist, Justin Hawkins does one of my favorite YT channels... Justin Hawkins Rides Again. always worth checking out.
This song was a vibe back in the day. Love watching Lex react to this. You guys should do Jet- Are you going to be my girl and The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army 🤘
It's definitely a visual song 👍there brilliant 🤘
An incredible live act.
This song was huge
Amazing live band! Everyone goes beseerk! Super cool band! Really fun! Through back to the 70’s! Serious about their craft. Waaaaay underrated! 💫
This is the perfect reaction to the Darkness. They meant to put a smile on your face 😆😆😆
I love you guys, this channel always puts me in a good mood. ☺️
Great song! Been waiting on SOMEONE to react to this one. Heard it the first time & HAD learn it bc it's so fun to play....love love love it!
The story of The Darkness is an interesting one, because surely no band in history got as big as quickly, then dropped off just as fast.
Based on a handful of singles they were headlining Reading Festival. But their follow-up album was a little underwhelming and all their hype and status just vanished.
They continued to put out good records ( I loved 'The Last of Our Kind') but they just never really got back to where they were.
LOVE WILL MAKE ANYONE SING LIKE THIS. KEEP LOVE FUNNY AND ALIVE.....YOU'LL BE HAPPY FOREVER, YOU DO'NT HAVE TO BE 15 YEARS OLD.
idk what it is i love watching people discover songs i like.
Justin ( Darkness) hugely Influenced by UK 70''s glam rockers " The Sweet" check " Fox on the Run" ( 74) and you'll see exactly what I mean.
Going to see these in December 😁 can't wait
I agree the other comments here, this song is a must with the music video!
It’s a shame you didn’t show the actual video. It’s epic!
If you dont see the video you take away how funny this song really is. I love this song.
The chorus makes you want to groove.
you should definitely check out their song 'get your hands off my woman'. the radio edit is hysterical. also they are still a thing. their current drummer is the son of Queen drummer Roger Taylor. he's called Rufus Taylor. otherwise the vocals and guitar are the same, just more mature.
Watching the video is a definite must.
All this time later and this song still goes! It's made all the better by the music video they made, but the song alone is still just great music.
Are they watching the video too? The video is really fun.
Hahahaha! Awesome! Thank You.
Rainbow - Stargazer
Wit ya BOY DIO
🤘🤘🤟
Loved this react. This song is pure joy!
They played this live at the Hammersmith Apollo with brian may from queen.
Now you really need to check out the music video for it.
The Darkness is a great band. So, many great songs. This was one of their early songs and the singer/lead guitarist said he hated that a lot of love songs didn't just come out and say the obvious so he wrote this poppy tune as a reply to all of those beat around the bush love songs. My favorite song from them is "Open Fire". Also, you guys mentioned Queen. Well, the drummer from Queen son is the current drummer in The Darkness. And, I think he's been their drummer for about ten years.
Open Fire is awesome, one of my favorite songs period.
Always a great reaction, thank you!. Would love to see an OZZY- diary of a madman or Mr. Crowley reaction, also Van Halen pound cake or anything sammy hagar era.
1:22 “the world’s shortest guitar solo”… oh just you wait my friend 🤣
DISCUSS: LEX IS BETTER WITH OR WITHOUT HER GROOVY 'MOUSE EARS?' I LIKE HER BOTH WAYS PERSONALLY. BRAD'S A LUCKY DUDE!
You need to see the official video! Its absolutely epic 🙌
primus music videos don’t get taken down on other reaction video videos. you should do some of them 👍
One of the best music videos - I still jam to this song
love this song. you should check out the original MV for this song. shot in their backyard lol
This band was a refreshing recall back to the awesomeness that was 80s hair metal. My favourite song by these guys is 'Is it Just Me' got to check it out 👍
The Darkness is one of my favourite bands, the only modern rock band.
You should definitely listen to Friday Night, Everybody Have a Good TIme, One Way Ticket and Christmas Time.
These guys were the best live band of the naughties check out their live performances on jools holland or live on the rocks with no ice for MTV2 (remember that channel!) good ol days.
Lex has the cutest reactions.
You need to watch this performance!! so good ❤💜❤
Like I saw in a previous comment, you really need to see the video when you're listening to this song. I can't remember what it was for, but this song was used in a commercial.
great song... queen vibes.
What a awesome song
Watch them live .... Epic !
KISS were and are still the leads of that Lovie Rack&Roll. Dudes loved Motorhead, Dudesses loved the Lovie Rock&Roll. )))
You guys should take a look at the official video. Now, that's a lot of fun!
Love the bombastic-ness of this song 💞the video is fun to watch too.
The chorus of this song reminds me of the song they used to kill all the aliens in that really bad invaders from Mars movie.
I saw them live when they first started. Great live band.
I just remember this from old movie sound tracks
For Halloween week, two good songs are A Forest by the Cure; and Bloodletting by Concrete Blonde
