@@Makaveli13Xroy Well, I guess since you knew that you must be superior to me and probably everyone. This is your thought process; "Did you hear this guys? A dude didn't remember the name of a song. What an idiot. I guess that makes me cool. I can finally stop hating myself and my life. I'm fulfilled by my epic victory and might even be able to get a boner again for the 1st time in years. Yes, I am now a man."
The Leo/Frog Leap rabbit hole is definitely one worth falling down and getting lost in. I grew up with most of the original songs he covers, and in most cases I like his versions even better. Dude is stunningly talented.
Out of all the songs from Frog Leap Studios, I honestly think this one is my favorite. Leo and Hannah harmonize so well together in the song. As you and others have said, I think what impresses me most is how Leo is able to switch a song's genre without fundamentally changing the song. Every cover song is still completely recognizable as the original and that always blows my mind.
Leo has learned lyrics in Korean and several other languages for his covers. The most impressive thing for me is how close he can keep to the original song while still making it completely his.
Leo is one of my absolute favorite artists. The man is a freaking genius and has more talent in one finger than all the musicians I have ever met lol. Love seeing reactions of his music.
Leo used to be lead vocalist for Norwegian metal bands Zerozonic and LowDown. There are some videos on his playlist on the Frog Leap TH-cam channel. Also some Trendkill. A Pantera cover band he used to play with. He also has a video from a Metal Cruise where he played with people from POD, Korn and others.
You're reaction is great, Nick. Every time you think you can react to tell us how good it is, Leo and his friends show there's more, and after that there's still more. I really like your really surprised reaction. You've done justice to this magnificent cover
Dude, this guy is a modern Midas, turns everything into metal. Name a song: "Barbie Girl"? "WAP"? "Country road"? "Twinkle twinkle little star"? All you'll hear from Leo is "hold my beer!"
Leo has 6 or 7 hundred videos done over the years. I have barly scratched the surface. He does a couple Dire Straights tunes. Sultans of Swing is especially awsome.
I really like your reactions because you're to considerate to the creators and give them such a lift you and respect. And you add great commentary. 👍✌️ Keep doing what you do man. You're cool
Welcome to the Leo Memorial Insane Asylum hehehehe He's a master of his craft and just sheer genius.. Gotta love how much fun he puts into his videos as well as the music.. A few to check out that give you a good show of how anything he puts his mind to can become a metal masterpiece.. "Take Me Home, Country Roads", "Holding Out for a Hero", and "Moves Like Jagger".. Everything he does is gold, but those are a few that really put the screws to the originals without killing the originals in the process (unlike a number of other covers do), in fact they are even better than the originals to my mind (like most of his covers), but that's just personal opinion ;) .. Enjoy
Stop talking or thinking how he made it, just enjoy this genius and his covers! Just joking, love ur speechless reactions ! We are all trapped in Leos lil rabbit hole and we love it! Enjoy exploring his channel!
Leo actually did a cover of Baby Shark Dance and at the end of the video he runs around outside in his yard wearing a shark suit and promoting his social media links and it is the greatest thing that Leo has ever done or ever will do. Also since you're familiar with the Dance Monkey original there is an artist name Peter Bence that does insane piano covers of modern songs and the piano playing on his cover of Dance Monkey is every bit as ridiculous as the guitar playing in any of Leo's covers.
First ever cover from Leo that i heard and got me hooked, was his cover of, The Pixies, 'Where is my mind', sick cover, if you havnt yet, check it out!
If you liked this cover you should listen to his covers of listen to your Heart and sultan of swing. Both those songs are as good if not better then the originals. My opinion I know but still so so so good.
In Leo's cover of Look What You Made Me Do (which made me kind of afraid of Taylor Swift with how well it translated into a metal tune) Leo plays a tablet computer with a singing robot. He can do anything. 😃
I tell my metal-head friends, who would never subject themselves to Tones and I, "I need you to sacrifice 3 and a half minutes of your life for me and listen to this and I PROMISE the payoff will be worth it," and watch them cringe as they listen to the original song. And then I get to see the culmination of sacrifice paying off as they witness this masterpiece; it just isn't the same if someone hasn't had to endure the derivative material. My introduction to your channel, if you're acquainting yourself with Leo and Frog Leap, I recommend Despacito (I swear it seems Dude learned another language for the sole purpose of making a song) and his launching point- Africa by Toto.

Unless I'm mistaken, the little kid jumping around with the mask is his daughter. What a wonderful childhood. 😁
Yes, indeed it is his daughter!
They did a duet a few years ago - he and his daughter. Something something Sunshine or something. 🙂
@@billberndtsoncover me in sunshine , its a very well known song lmao

Look for him singing with his daughter "cover me in sunshine"... it's really heart melting...

Leo is amazingly talented. His covers of uptown funk, chandelier, africa, and the dire straights one are amazing
Leo is amazing. He's certainly enhanced my love and appreciation of covers. Of course, his covers are at an entirely different level than most.
You're reaction is great, Nick. Every time you think you can react to tell us how good it is, Leo and his friends show there's more, and after that there's still more. I really like your really surprised reaction. You've done justice to this magnificent cover
I love Leo, been listening to him for several years now.
Don't forget Leo produced this song and video! So...He's also good at that part too! LOL's 😆👍
That little imp would be Leo's daughter incognito. It's classic as is the reaction. Nuff said!
Dude, this guy is a modern Midas, turns everything into metal. Name a song: "Barbie Girl"? "WAP"? "Country road"? "Twinkle twinkle little star"? All you'll hear from Leo is "hold my beer!"
Loved your reaction. Much respect. 🙏
Its a great song to bein with and now Leo has wrapped it in amazingness.

Fire cover and always love your reactions bro!! ❤️❤️❤️
Great reaction and killer cover
Hey hey Nick this is a banging cover and as always u r the reactor with stamina few dont have 😝💪💪🍻🍻💪
Liked your reaction. made me smile, nice one.
I seriously love what Leo Maracchioli can do with certain songs- this is prime example! You should check Easy on Me by him. XD Great reaction! :)
His version of Paint it Black is awsome too.
As usual Leo kills it and we need much more reactions of Frog Leap Studios reaction on this channel.Do a weekly reaction.
I love this cover!
Ayyy here for it!!! 🔥🔥🔥
I feel like Leo will become like Weird Al, in the sense everyone will want him to do a cover of one of their songs.
Leo is awesome! My personal favorite cover is his collaboration with Violet Orlandi on Roxette's "Listen To Your Heart".
Stop talking or thinking how he made it, just enjoy this genius and his covers! Just joking, love ur speechless reactions ! We are all trapped in Leos lil rabbit hole and we love it! Enjoy exploring his channel!
Freaking love Leo!
they do a cover of africa before and it's prety epic
Awesome! Wow!
Also, if you like this one you should really check out their cover of Toto's Africa, it's epic, especially the outro!

Very good reactions dude! Continue that way, if you like Leo must react to Sultans of Swing and Africa songs. Both are fucking masterpieces.
Yeah that's his daughter. Check out cover me with sunshine. Its a cover he did with her and is amazing
I just subscribed to your channel. Hope you're reacting to more Leo 😀👍🏻
If you loved dance monkey. Check out Leo's version of "Africa" by ToTo and stay for the outro
Rabea & Hannah did a cover of Wicked Game and its was really good.
First ever cover from Leo that i heard and got me hooked, was his cover of, The Pixies, 'Where is my mind', sick cover, if you havnt yet, check it out!
Here for the Leo, you should check his KPop covers like 'how you like that' .. I don't do KPop but I do like his covers
If you liked this cover you should listen to his covers of listen to your Heart and sultan of swing. Both those songs are as good if not better then the originals. My opinion I know but still so so so good.
Thanks for the hook up.... I likey.

This guy has been a youtube staple for a decade.Do you live under a rock?
hell yeah, my mortgage rate is super reasonable. a/c sucks here though. neighbors are a bit rocky at times tho
@@NickTheActor my neighbors can be snakes sometimes...but most of them are harmless worms. We all have beautiful gardens though.
Suggest: Leo's redo of _Listen To Your Heart_ .
Brother do lots more Leo .. he’s one of kind ..

Hannah Bolton and Rabea are a power couple for sure with Leo
He has 400+ covers
The little girl is his daughter 😊
Mr. Nick........you're gonna be stuck on Leo for a while I feel. The man has so much fun with his work and it makes it fun for all!!!
Low key in love with Hannah, not gonna lie
🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Check out What Is Love.
Better than the original.
Boop! 👆👃
It's impossible to say his last name without the hand movements. I believe it's considered mispronounced by default if you do. 🔥🔥
FYI, Moracchioli is pronounced with a K.
The original sucks. This cover makes the legacy of this song so much better.
🔥🔥🔥
