"Hi I'm Cardinal Copia and I'll be your freestyle dance instructor."
Best comment
Megamind would not claim that Tobias Forge lacks presentation.
What I want to know is if that was Tobias himself doing the dancing or if they hired a professional to do it instead. Did Tobias actually learn how to dance like that, or did they just put someone else in the Cardinal Copia makeup for this video?
@@autumnphillips151 that's a good question, though i wouldnt be surprised if it was Tobias, guy seems to be about having flair in his videos.
though that would that creepy mask a whole lot more.
@@UltimateGamerCC In interviews Tobias claims to have done all the dancing in this video, and had a body double for the bits where he was standing still. So either he's been taking secret ballet classes for a few years to be able to pull off those moves (some of that is fairly advanced stuff!), Satan has gifted him with perfect pirouettes, or he's fucking with us. ;)
Dance choreographer: Ok how many twirls should this dance have?
Tobias: Yes
All of them, eh?
It really puts this moment where he's just casually pointing out the hole in his shoe in perspective: th-cam.com/video/6p-GqIVaM1Y/w-d-xo.html
And back to back. Part of what makes the video so fu!n loving and comical

How true
Same 🎉🎉🎉😂
Lmao
Lmao true xD
My wife stared in bewilderment as I started cackling upon reading that
I swear this man took ballet lession or smth.. those spins were too professional
I think a lot of the crazy dance moves are a professional dancer in the Cardinal Copia costume intercut with shots of Tobias wearing it. You can sort of see his body proportions changing, in some shots he's really skinny and others he's normal.
the head/mask also looks disproportionately large in some shots 🤔
@@SeaBeast4Life that’s exactly what it is. A professional dancer, supposedly he was just asked to dance to the music on set. No routine or anything, he just went wild.
i think that the cardinal with the hair all messed up is the professional dancer
@@24fretsoffury This is.... just delightful.
Tobias Forge has said that he wants Ghost to sound like the greatest band from the seventies and eighties that you've never heard before.
Mission accomplished.
Umm..
@@DJC3412 what?

This comment needs a lot more exclamation marks
If this video were around during the 80s it would've been legendary. It's a masterpiece.
It is a masterpiece
The art of the truly artistic video clip was lost after the early 90's for me, and Ghost is bringing it back in spades. Absolute killer drums all the way through this, solid, complex without being complicated. Genius.
It's Amazing!

The character design and body language of Cardinal Copia is outstanding. The way Tobias describes him as some sort of charismatic, Freddie Mercury type really made me realize what a great era this was for the band. Cardy got moves man

i`m into my 1st week of Ghost , better late than never . cannot stop listening!!!
Welcome to the clergy
Sometimes when I’m sad I come back to this music video and watch the cardinal do his little fancy dance.
Cheers me up everytime

I love how Papa doesn't sexualize his dancers- they're artists and not just eye candy and that's rare
Someone didn't watch dance macabre.
Yeah funny bc I know a couple of those dancers and they all dance at Jumbos Clown Room in LA. Look it up and if you have never been GO it’s AWESOME!
Still looking great.
i might be mistaken but they are half naked
Id have to respectfully disagree to a point.
He does it in very classy form that still emphasizes the art form but is still encouraging a little provocation.
For lack of a better term, he went with a conservative 80's style of sexy. Unlike most artists today that really go overboard with the stripes of electrical tape that leave nothing to the imagination.
My mom: come show everyone that little dance you do
Me: 1:04
Lmao,why i laughed so hard at this?! 😂😂😂
I don't know if I'm sleep deprived or what but I can't stop looping this
There's an animated gif of this that loops back and forth and it is probably my favorite ever.
Yep!!

Cardinal Copia is definitely the man to take this band into stratosphere levels of notoriety and fame. He’s already legendary.
Cardinal forever!🖤
Now papá emeritus iv but he Will die in some time x'd
Is Cardinal making anymore appearances at the shows?
@@EmeritusIV616 is the cardinal no more?
@@spellbound6921 The cardinal got a promotion and became Emeritus IV, he's not dead yet
It’s taking everything in me not to learn the choreography
@The Ripper I’ve learnt the first quarter but the only dancing I can do is to all of MJs songs 😭
Just learn it :)
"Don't think Mav. Just do" 🤣🤣
Honestly, same.
doooo iiiit!!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t believe the Cardinal predicted the style of the Wednesday dance, lol in all seriousness there’s something so hilarious and haunting seeing the movements range from poetically smooth and ballet like, into unpredictable full body gesticulations
It's really awesome, he's like a Mephistopheles.
it's just goth dance, which is basically just moving your body however you can to the rhythm of the music. I heard that for this they just put the music in the background and recorded the video without a planed choreography. the Wednesday dance was planned but it was based on those types of stuff.
that's just goth dance in general 😭 wednesday didn't invent it, the choreographers for that number drew upon the sort of flowy jerky style you'd see at a goth club

LOLLL
When you've got razzle dazzle but also hail Satan.
Ghost in a nutshell.
Jazz Hands!
What’s razzle dazzle?
He said the wrath of God on this. I dont think he was hailing satan bud.
@@brazilianman92 He is definitely hailing Satan though.
@@Metalbirne Satan works for God in Juudaism. His job to entice evil to be punished by God. So it makes sense with what his talking about. His basically talking down to mankind. Satan looks down on mankind. Like when he had a bet with god that Job would fail his tests. He enjoys testing mankind through trials.
Cardinal Copia clearly won the second most "Employee of the Month" awards with them fire dance moves. He's killing it.
Seriously tho haha!
I honestly never knew that Cardinal Copia was a rubber mask. I'm so ashamed...
@@nicoleobrien2517 all the characters Tobias plays are rubber, don't know if you noticed that too.
@@ghostranger5255 I'm pretty sure he's wearing just makeup in the "Square Hammer" video. I may have to go back to check now 🤔

4 years later and this song still fucking kills. I can't decide between jazz hands, moshing, headbanging, or dancing. I think that's why I love it so much.

Is this some like dark version of ratatouille or something because now I’m feeling that vibe
lol actually the song as a part of this album has two stories about it. the Album's story is about the Antichrist ruling over the world, during that time the faithful perish in pestilence. Cardinal Copia representing Death, the fourth and final horseman of the apocalypse. then the story it's telling is from our own history, the time of The Black Plague that swept over Europe, killing millions.

Ghost is one of those friendly Satanic bands, you know the one you would actually introduce to your parents.
😰
that ending riff deserves its own song!!
The rest of the album probably will be complimented by more heavy riffs.
It already has it's own song my friend, listen closer. It is Spöksonat!
I was expecting a breakdown right after to close the song with even more intensity. Like the same riff but lower
Viccy Schreuder I hope so
Facts
For the few who don't understand the dancing, it's sinister, in the tradition of the original Twin Peaks series, when the possessed serial killer did Fred Astaire-like dances. Here the cardinal is doing a sort of homage to "Singin' In the Rain," only the puddles are blood, not water. It's macabre. And it suggests disease, as in St. Vitus' Dance, a symptom of Sydenham's chorea. Nothing campy about this -- it's horror for those with eyes to see.
Top comment.
It's also fucking beautiful and very sexy :P.
Ghost are not taking themselves THAT seriously.
I agree!
Oh, jeeezus. That explains why my cat looked at me like I was having a stroke, when I tried some Cardinal "moves". Huh! ...you learn sumthin' new every day!
Ha! :-D
Really digging this, getting some major 80s vibes from the theatric vocals, guitar tones, and keys.
Yeah definitely with guitar tone.
I didn't know you were a Ghost fan Jon! Looking foreword to a review soon!
You excited for the album Johnny Boy?
Hey Ik you
Opening riff sounds like Dokken, specifically the main riff from Dream Warriors :)
I wonder if the choreographer told Tobias to spin that much or if he was dicking around and they kept it
Edit:Spelling error
The last riff should last longer. It's heavy af
pariskotsaros totally agree. Just imagine if it was the main riff lol this song would create moshpit hahahahaha
It's the same notes as spöksonat if you listen closely
Yeah it has a good rhythm for headbanging too!
Well spotted!

Top 10 Characters Who Can Defeat Thanos By Themselves
The bass and drums alone on this track are masterful. Between the playing, the mix and the Actual tone (Fender Jazz is outstanding). An excellent quality hard rock tune all around.
Maybe as a child Tobias was sent to the dancing classes and now he decided to use those skills😂
It's time! 😂
V. H. In their music videos, they normally use a stand-in! It’s not actually TF
Lool
My thought maybe this is a different dude being Tobias' double.
I love how the last 30 seconds of this song exist as an incredible starting point for an entirely different song.
Yet Ghost has so much going for them, they just integrated it at the end of this song instead, as if that riff doesn't go HARD.
Its the riff in another Ghost song. I’m too baked to remember rn.
@@zvendiearschficker6664 That riff is actually in two other Ghost songs, it's played on synths at the end of Ashes which opens the album but it was also played on strings in Spöksonat from Meliora three years earlier so it was a hell of a build up to it
@@havoc14 and it leads into a completely different song when the play it live.
It also flows into Call Me Little Sunshine really well if you queue those two up together
It's an allegory for how the Renaissance was the end of the Dark Ages and the Plague Years and the transition from the Middle Ages to the Modern Era.
If Cardinal Copia doesn't perform any of the choreography at any show I attend, I will ask for my money back
Connor Hayes I think it's a woman in a mask...
dance or riot
That seems to be his persona so I wouldn't be surprised if he did. I would be disappointed too.

What a flat assed and titted Lady...
I'd venture to guess that the Cardi C in this video isn't Tobias Forge at all
We need more musical geniuses like this. Great music and very entertaining to watch. Future musicians should take note.
Plague: Dance of the Rats a work of oil on canvas art 17th century featuring rats dancing.
The plague dance took place in the early 1500's where people we dancing endlessly through all the death and despair. Many of these dancers died from exhaustion or heart attack.
So for those unaware or judgemental, the dancing here is related to that along with the theme of the album, the plague. This is the modern art now that depicts the death and survival of such gruesome times. Also the upcoming track on this album Dance Macabre has to do with people who were dying from the plague went out and just had fun with their remaining days, danced like they've never danced before. Partied and drank, just lived it up until they perished.
So yeah it's actually pretty dark. Actually it all has to do with the darkest times in history, so just because there is dancing, doesn't mean it's not dark. It's symbolic.
The MADGamer perfect explanation 🤘🏼
Miss Queen The plague or Black Death killing up to 200 million people estimated, taking 200 years to recover from. Many of these people thinking it was punishment "all your loved ones and all your kin will suffer punishment beneath the wrath of god"
Yeah I would have to say this is a lot darker as a whole than the procreation of the antichrist. I love all of Ghosts work. People just want darker "sounding" music, then again also can't blame them.
The MADGamer i can't even listen to any other bands,ghost has become my new religion, it's like a love pain when i don't listen to their music .. sounds welrd but true :)) i met this band two days ago and now im angry with myself that i didn't even hear any music of them before, finally i've found the true religion hell yeah haha🤘🏼🤘🏼 and thanks for your beautiful infos 🙏🏼
The MADGamer Tobias has said many times in interviews that the theme of the upcoming album is darker but not necessarily heavier music. This is a perfect example to introduce the album. I think it is heavy enough and certainly very catchy. He is drawing new fans to Ghost.😄
The MADGamer i think so many people are misunderstanding the dancing. I didn't get it at first but eventually got it after a few views. Maybe Tobias should have had a little intro to the video but ultimately it is about the music which is awesome.
I love how much this sounds like an 80's horror movie credits song.
That's a pretty good description. I was thinking it sounded like it was from a musical like Repo or something.
Good Game RC • The Quake Grave kind of sort of like Dokken: dream warriors
skillzorz101 Oh fuck the hell YES! I adore Repo! and its creator, Terrance Zdunich. I want Forge and Zdunich to work together, at some point. I WILL DIE HAPPY IF THAT EVER HAPPENS!
And now “Hunters Moon” is on the Halloween Kills soundtrack , it was inevitable
@@bobmathews9072 beat me to it!
Absolutely love the choreo in this video. It's like "Thriller" meets a particularly hellish "Singin' in the Rain".
...with a dash of Mary Poppins and spring heeled Jack 😂
Ok, but why is this SO accurate 😂
SIGH. Look at my little ballerina rat king. 🥹🥰🖤
For those wondering what the white guitar is, it is a Hagstrom Fantomen. Not really sure if anyone even cares but I went through the trouble of figuring it out so might as well share.
GTAwheelman247 thanks for the info! I've been trying to figure out if it was an obscure one-off Gibson, lol!
Pretty sure it's a Gibson RD ;)
The previous Nameless Ghouls were using Gibsons RD, so I guess they needed new guitars from a new manufacturer but using the same style and design... pretty much what Papa did with the full band, different people but same design and style of music...
Yep my bad, I should have checked before talking :) They changed them to Hagstroms
Thanks. Sorta like the Gibson RD guitars.
The guitar solo is the single most haunting one I've ever heard, what a masterpiece
Hell yeah, those twin guitars sure drive the message home!
Tobias has the art of composing meaningful solos down,not everyone can do this
It's a really good example of how a great solo does not at all have to be extremely note-dense or complicated.
AGREED!
@@Darwinist m no. Hl mm
Crazy? They said i was crazy. They locked me in a room, a rubber room with RATSSSSSS (aaaAAAA)
im seriously gonna miss the skull facepaint
MIa Vazquez Maybe the cardinal will be nominated to be the next Papa and he will have the right to wear the skull paint?
Remember, he isnt Papa yettttttttttt
No way he's not going to change and go to face paint. That kind of mask is REALLY uncomfortable to wear longer than 10-15 minutes.
I am too... But not gonna miss the music... because they're still making it as badass as before!
Zidders Roofurry A mask is a mask. All Papas were a mask. Cardinal Copia is a mask. So i don't know what you're trying to say.
When I was growing up, all the kids that were into the popular dance bands said they didn't care for metal cause you couldn't dance to it. Mr. Forge, please show the class how you CAN dance to metal!
I'm 90% sure this is the mating dance Tobias used while courting his wife
@Cantié M Why, thank you! I'm glad a few people appreciate my odd brand of humor :p
Was it actually Tobias dancing in this video, or did they just put someone else in the Cardinal Copia outfit?
@@autumnphillips151 Tobias claims that he did the dancing and had a body double for the bits where he was standing still. Make of that what you will. As someone who's been doing ballet her entire life, I assure you that means that either he's been gifted with perfect pirouettes by Satan, or he's fucking with us.
@@autumnphillips151 I like to believe he did some of the dancing, but not all (like the spins, pirouettes, and other more difficult moves).
But, as previously mentioned, it's Tobias...so either it's actually him or he's trolling us lol.
This made me snort laugh xD
Cardinal Copia is pretty awesome! Interesting to see such a new and different character in the band
Cardinal Copia Jackson
Same feeling!
Who came here and did NOT expect to see Tobias Forge dancing 😂😂😂
Fun fact: Director of this video also made the Cirice video!
ReelEllio that's cool👍
Yup, another tribute to 1980s italian horror.
Nice! :D
>fun fact
ok where is the funny fact?
I knew there would be coronavirus related comments. Was not disappointed.
Was just thinking the same thing lol
I was listening to the album on another app, and thought; "oh..lol I bet the comments on this song on YT are gold right now" xD was happy to see I was right
Exactly why I am here, lol.
Same, I came here to put my clever little joke about remaking this song but= bats. Yeah.
I came here expecting it, relevant now.
"RATS,THE MUSICAL" the dark version of "CATS, THE MUSICAL" He is one of the 4 riders of the apocalypse. PLAGUE (death)
DAMN
What’re the other 3 and who are they?
Captain here,
interpretations can vary a loooot when dealing with such ancient texts but the idea is that there are 4 Riders of the Apocalype according the book of revelations, last book of the new testement. Death, as mentioned, but also Famine, War and Conquest. Each come with a set of symbolism, often contradictory and are not frozen in any particular interpretation.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Apocalypse
*rides away*
Are the other 3 riders the other Papa's?😱
Are the other 3 riders the other Papa's?😱
2:31 That is certainly one of the most beautiful guitar solos in metal. Short but charming.
For real, should be longer 😢
I will never pronunce "rats" again,. Just "rrrrrrrrrrrats"
Day Balboa so do i hahaha
Search for "Dracula - Rats" here on youtube for an even more over-the-top pronounciation, probably inspired this
Zé do gado salgado jajaja
every time hahahahahaha
and don't forget to add aaaooowaaaah
When Tobias said he wanted to make a song that people could dance and sing, i did'nt thought it was gonna be so literal xD
Love you Copia ❤
Martin Ruiz Thats why he made the new young pope. Feelsgood
There is no tobias. Only papa.
the dancing at 2:47 cracks me up EVERY time i watch it. I love this band.
1:04 absolutely kills me.
@@CommanderWiggins another amazing part
I think Wednesday Addams channeled the Cardinal in her dance. Sorry Weds. it's been done before and better.
The Cardinal loves himself a little ✨🌈👋Fossy 👋🌈✨
Headbang: no
dance like Cardinal: *definetly*
Cardinal Copia vs Robbie Rotten
