It's actually a very poignant metaphor about the response by mainstream society as a whole to heavy metal music and the consequences that it would inevitably have.
I love how your videos take the music genre to an extreme stereotype. “Shama-lama-ding-Dong”. The bluegrass version Eminem song has literal chicken sounds. It’s genius
So. I used to swing dance on a professional level, and (for reasons I still don't know), doo-wap was thrown in, and my grandparents listened to it NONSTOP on car trips. I still love swing, jazz, doo-wap, disco, allllll the way through rock, pop, retro/synwave and so on. My husband? Absolute metal head through and through. Holy fuck I cant wait to show him this. I'm so glad you exist. ❤❤❤
If you consider the way Draiman does those little "Ugh" sounds, it's like he's coughing. So while that's consistent with the central theme of Sickness from a wholesome point of view, that "Monkey Screech" just really makes this all uncanny AF.
1:17, yeah, these were my reactions to the original, too, when he starts having weird mommy issues, ruining the entire song. I was like, "I related with you riiiight up until... whatever THAT was." Would be cool to have the original with the mommy issues removed by A.I., so the song isn't ruined.
So my man usually hates remixes of this song, and this is one of the ones he LOVES!!! As do I!! We were both boppin along to the song, and singing along to the song. The confused looks starting at 1:17 showing the viewers, and the live dancers, was just PERFECT!!!! Also I just heard your Star Wars All Star sound on TikTok, and NEED A FULL VERSION!!!!!
The editing in this is so well done! As much as I appreciate the doo wop take on the song, this video absolutely sold it for me. Absolutely love the the use of the Back to the Future clip, it was too funny and perfect ☺️
Tapping my foot along with the tune, knowing all the words. As it finishes I laughed outloud and said, "What have you done?!" "There I Ruined It" splash screen appears (perfect timing lol)
Next time you release a video I'll be sure not to be taking a drink while watching it; I came so close to spitting my coffee out more than once. Love the xylophone background btw. Just beautiful work man. Well done. And I love you are fundraising for St. Jude. They are a truly awesome hospital.
Super catchy, TBH I looked for an original copy of the doo wop song not knowing it was created for this. Seriously man, this rendition could be a hit on its own.
I know that even today a lot of people are, well, disturbed by the bridge. Allow me, as a long time Disturbed fan, to shed a little light on this deeply discomforting moment. It's all metaphorical. Down with the Sickness is a response to criticism of heavy metal music at the time. Draiman said that he often heard people complain about heavy metal, even going so far as to call the enjoyment of it a sickness, and his response to that was "you people are the most closed-minded, judgemental, self-absorbed people I've ever met, and if that's what "healthy" looks like, then I don't want any part of it. I'm down with the sickness." In the bridge, "mommy" is mainstream society as a whole. The point is to draw a parallel between an abusive parent and a child. Mainstream society tells us that it wants us to be safe and comfortable and happy, but as soon as someone starts enjoying something that it doesn't understand, like metal music, it becomes hostile, trying to force compliance to the status quo through threats and violence and exclusion. Inevitably, the abused after a certain point has enough and fights back, asserting their right to exist on their own terms. This was all a lot more poignant when the song was written. The general attitude toward metal music has matured since then, but even today it remains a powerful message.
Nice one! 😂🤘
Fucking awesome!
Totally agree!
The only reason I clicked was because they have been saying oooh wah ah ah ah ah at my quarters for jokes
Legends themselves!! Awesome
The fact that you guys commented on this vid makes this 10x better. Lmao
Missed the chance to call this “Doo-Wo-o-o-op”
Hahahaha! NICE ONE!
Goddamnit.
That would be Perfect lol
When you're a naturally happy-go-lucky, carefree kinda guy, but have some crazy ass intrusive thoughts
Yes. Yes.
TF2 Pyro moment
What a mood.
Yup.
Yep spot on
1:25 I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it.
I thought that scene looked familiar.
Underated Comment xD
I love that movie!
didn't dissapoint
It was so perfect! I was hoping someone would comment on it
You continually raise the twin bars of “what the *fuck* is this” and “this shit slaps” at the same time.
The “Shamalama-ding-dong” before the chorus really kicks it up a notch 🕺
The pause at the Child Abuse Solo is just... chef's kiss.
1:15
"Your kids are gonna love it"
Every upload of yours I'm hit with a wave of excitement immediately followed by fear and revulsion. Thanks.
You put in such elegant and perfect words. I hate this channel so much that I listen to every be uploaded multiple times.
That's my new slogan: "Come for the excitement. Stay for the revulsion."
That is the best way to say it. I couldn't have said it better.
Respect for the Mr. Afternoon Tea profile picture.
If you don't go thru all of those emotions simultaneously, are you even living?😂
With every single one of your videos I start with a “But why?”, then goes to “Thanks, I hate it”, then by the end, I end up actually loving it.
I exactly feel the same way, with a fourth step, admitting that this requires a lot of music skills and the video editing is just perfect.
Im still stuck on the "Hate it" part.
It’s a cycle
Just like Spanish sovereigns breathing in the smoke from new world dookie.
"No mommy!"
"I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet, but your kids are gonna love it!"
Everyone: So your antidepressants make you happy, right?
What my antidepressants actually do:
Edit: Had to correct to the proper “your” 🤦🏻♂️
Legit
You’re*
That's the perfect explanation! I was just trying to describe this to my therapist yesterday.
Ur*
You still have negative thoughts, but you don't feel so badly about them anymore?
As a Doowop connoisseur I must say, Really nice sound. Great job.
Thank you! I actually love doo-wop and oldies.
As someone who loves both metal and doo-wop this is PERFECT
Do-AHahOP
@@ThereIRuinedIt Are you a human or an advanced musically inclined alien
The best part is how it all stops during that one REALLY questionable bit that people have always been weirded out by.
It's actually a very poignant metaphor about the response by mainstream society as a whole to heavy metal music and the consequences that it would inevitably have.

This song is better than it has any right to be. This is art.
Great video!
I'm so happy that you included the breakdown. And pairing it with BttF was an absolute cherry on top.
I love this channel because it is very “old TH-cam” style. Bravo 👏
You mean I shouldn't update the format to be nothing but reaction videos? 😆
@@ThereIRuinedIt But wouldn't that ruin there I ruined it? Can you actually ruin this?
@@ThereIRuinedIt thumbnail needs more emojis and surprised faces
This channel is the epitome of classic TH-cam. ★★★★★
I love how you dealt with the awkwardness of the breakdown
Your sick creativity is the gift that has been given to you.
That Back to the Future break down was genius.
So. I used to swing dance on a professional level, and (for reasons I still don't know), doo-wap was thrown in, and my grandparents listened to it NONSTOP on car trips. I still love swing, jazz, doo-wap, disco, allllll the way through rock, pop, retro/synwave and so on.

Holy fuck I cant wait to show him this.
I'm so glad you exist. ❤❤❤
I have only discovered this channel. And I've never needed something more in my life than this
Welcome to the Madness!
@@ThereIRuinedIt ❤
@@ThereIRuinedIt That you have gifted to we.
This is pure art. Your editing skills are also off the chain. Well done.
Love the "Hey Ya" and "Back to the Future" crowd additions
That screaming at mommy part was well worth it
Doo Wop and Rockabilly are the best of 1950s rock and roll
Agree!
And 60s!! ❤
If you consider the way Draiman does those little "Ugh" sounds, it's like he's coughing. So while that's consistent with the central theme of Sickness from a wholesome point of view, that "Monkey Screech" just really makes this all uncanny AF.
As someone with a real soft spot for both doo-wop and this sort of late-golden era nu-metal this is just too good.
"Well, ah... maybe you guys aren't quite ready for that one yet.
But your kids're gonna LOVE it!"
Your madness is the gift that's been given to us all, and I couldn't be happier!
Too damn hilarious. I can't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣
I am a massive fan of Disturbed, and "Down with the Sickness" is one of my favourite songs. I also love parodies, and this is AWESOME!!
1:17, yeah, these were my reactions to the original, too, when he starts having weird mommy issues, ruining the entire song. I was like, "I related with you riiiight up until... whatever THAT was." Would be cool to have the original with the mommy issues removed by A.I., so the song isn't ruined.
I feel the same way about this song! I think the original radio edit has that entire monologue removed (thankfully). But that was over 20 years ago!
...wow. You never cease to surprise.
Finally me and my mom can enjoy listening to Disturbed together
😂
Yet again this channel brings me things I never ever knew I needed in my life.
Your music is the reason why I somehow introduce swing and doo wop dance moves into metal music when I'm out with friends.
Ruined is not the right word to use here, this is awesome
"Shamaladingdong". What a twist. 😂😂
This is a crime against humanity... but you did it so well
So my man usually hates remixes of this song, and this is one of the ones he LOVES!!! As do I!! We were both boppin along to the song, and singing along to the song. The confused looks starting at 1:17 showing the viewers, and the live dancers, was just PERFECT!!!!
Also I just heard your Star Wars All Star sound on TikTok, and NEED A FULL VERSION!!!!!
Hahah, thank you!
Amazing combination of the apparent light mood of the 1950-1960s, and Disturbed's sickness that lied under 🤩
Do Wop is one of my favorite musical styles. This is awesome. Thank you
Well at least I know the lyrics now...
The editing in this is so well done! As much as I appreciate the doo wop take on the song, this video absolutely sold it for me. Absolutely love the the use of the Back to the Future clip, it was too funny and perfect ☺️
Hey ya!
As a long-time fan of both disturbed and strange things in general, this was awesome.
Tapping my foot along with the tune, knowing all the words.
As it finishes I laughed outloud and said, "What have you done?!"
"There I Ruined It" splash screen appears (perfect timing lol)
Next time you release a video I'll be sure not to be taking a drink while watching it; I came so close to spitting my coffee out more than once.
Love the xylophone background btw. Just beautiful work man. Well done.
And I love you are fundraising for St. Jude. They are a truly awesome hospital.
I am laughing so hard right now. This is why I subscribed.
Guess you guys aren't ready for that yet… but your kids are gonna love it.
This is actually pretty good
This should be the channel's motto.
Yeah lol, I never expect them to be this good even though I should probably already be used to it judging by the past ones
Super catchy, TBH I looked for an original copy of the doo wop song not knowing it was created for this. Seriously man, this rendition could be a hit on its own.
OMG that's so freaking cool
Doo-Wop music is always catchy. 😁
It should be made more.
You didn't ruin it, you made it better XD
This dropped harder than a guillotine in the French revolution
Dropped harder than my testosterone levels
This is the best channel on all of TH-cam
Why isn't this channel bigger? Quality content.
Disturbed is my favorite band and this is amazing. I would buy this single. Great work!
DOO WAHAHAHAP
Brilliant
Oh thank goodness, I was so sad when this video disappeared because it's my favorite of yours
I really like what they did with the unpleasant part.
From Lounge to Doo-Wop, this song is really timeless.
There it is...0.52. Love that slide whistle, and how you also seem to find the perfect place to put it!
This is the greatest channel I’ve seen in a long time, you just made my day 😭
I love the siren whistle and taxi horn in all of these versions.
They weren't ready for that, but their kids are going to love it!
Wednesday getting down was perfectly placed!
The original Wednesday showing Lurch how to dance tho🤣. Perfect timing and editing
This is horrifying but I can't stop laughing!! 🥺😫😵 😂😂😂
Nor should you, lol!
Okay, this is the BEST yet. Love the people's expressions when he starts "screeching" then jumps right back in with the doo-wop! Priceless!
Another masterpiece!!
you. are. a. legend.
I never knew it was possible to simultaneously love and hate something with equal fervor.
I’m impressed with Dana White, man of many hats
This channel is just gold!
This channel has seriously FAILED to ruin anything! Love this.
Can we get another shamalamadingdong up in here?
So wholesome 🖤
These get better and better each time.
Oh boy.....
Hahahahaha
Love it!
Just found you on Reddit, you're killing it!
OMG I love this mix! Combining these genres is like my life passing in front of me.
Doo Wop is awesome
Simply delightful.
This song was not ruined.
I actually like it more!!!
My thoughts went straight to back to the future and you did not disappoint!
As a metal head. Gotta say I actually love this for some reason 😂👍
Him saying “demon in me” with the cut to the people dancing will forever be one of my favorite things to see.
There are few things better and few things worse than this channel.
These are getting better and better and better!!!!! And completely ruins the originals. Bravo.
Haha. This is ridiculously funny. Y'all do a great job putting these together.
Good golly miss Molly, this sure is the bees knees..
Bravo 🎉
Outta sight, Daddy-O.
This is awesome! I bet that the members of Disturbed would get a kick out of it too.
They’ve seen it actually !
And they did get a kick out of it
Seeing a clip of Howard Dean on stage, doing his infamous scream would have put it over the top. Excellent work.
Absolutely incredible.
This and your other videos have had me in tears. Tears of joy, revulsion, hilarity. All of them combined.

I am so glad I found this channel. Jesus Christ this is hilarious!
The third verse literally triggers my childhood trauma but it was worth seeing the looks on the faces in the video 😂

Glad there was one more "ooo-ahh-ah-ah-ah"
This is so good it makes the original sound like a cover
WHAT???
I MEAN.
HOW??!!
LOVE.
