[@anthonyw2605]

I love Orgy's cover, and now I have another that will be in my rotation. Thx Leo!

[@CoopCooper.]

Orgy's cover was always meh but as a metalhead in the late 90's early 00's it was the closest to anything I could tolerate. This is fantastic.

[@onebadg8]

Orgy's cover was way better than the Original by New order IMO. when i see Leo upload its Orgy I think of.

[@JimPekarek]

Today I learned Orgy's version wasn't the original 😆

[@Bacopa68]

@@onebadg8 As an 80's kid I have to say Orgy's cover sucked. The music and the delivery of the lyrics matched in the New Order version. The original vocals were so flat and dead, they matched the words and the music. I understand wanting to metal this up. And there could be a good metal song nearby. But a Blue Monday cover can't be that. BTW, I'd love something that brought new meaning to this song; But neither Orgy or this guy did that.

[@ScottieBibble]

The orgy cover was good, this is my fave version now though

[@Mattie1979]

Let's take a minute or two to appreciate how much hard work Leo puts into making his music videos. He has to learn the lyrics, learn the music, record the video, and upload it to KZbin. Pretty impressive stuff.

[@lanceperry1115]

I would echo this as well…there is an enormous amount of time, effort, and engineering along with is talent that is not being shouted out- Leo has really got his shit together…keep it up Leo we are impresses with what your doing!!!!!

[@just-lucky]

The best part is that its just not only a cover, he always creates something new that is added to the songs. And on top of that... outros :D Sometimes hoenstly better than the song itself...

[@honeybadger713]

I just found this guy on KZbin a week ago he’s pretty awesome. The bass mix is incredible listening to this through two of my JBL 710 speakers at a total of 1600 watts. The bass shakes the floor 😎

[@joshuag5446]

Definitely. I rarely comment, but he deserves credit when do. I'm sure I'm not the only one who daydreams of doing this to every song on the radio. Hats off Leo.

[@JusticeforLiberty]

Leo doesn't have to learn anything , he already knows it.

[@brianmjones6792]

I grew up in the '80s listening to this awesome song sung by New Order. Here I am at 56 years old and I'm listening to the same song only with Leo making it that much better and into metal. Totally insane and what a great rendition of a classic song. Leo, once again does a song proud.

[@versleneant1680]

J'ai le même âge et les même références que toi. Et moi aussi j'adore cette reprise. Ça sonne presque comme un bon Marilyn Manson ! 🤘

[@hollowvoices1268]

Orgy did an amazing cover of this back in the late 90s as well

[@sYd6point7]

@op. Agreed.

[@Kevin6t8]

I'm 56 as well. I guess you haven't listened to Orgy's cover. They did a good job in my humble opinion. Now Leo's cover is on my list too !

[@karduar]

10/10 agree. Always liked this song but now I love it. He killed it!

[@mewregaurdhissyfit7733]

The perfect song. It's sounds good in metal, pop, classical, opera, techno, country, jazz, and every other musical style out there.

[@greatbg]

Best cover of Blue Monday EVER!

[@JustMe-dr2ci]

I'm 70 but feel a lot younger when a new Leo production is released. Thank you, Sir!

[@FL-ym6hm]

He does have that effect on you, doesn’t he?

[@daddyrabbit835]

Holy shit one of my favorite songs done in my favorite genre.

[@frock512]

Leo is the greatest, but check out orgys cover equally awesome

[@garethevans9789]

Although I was a little disapointed, it felt too flat. The cinematography was good! (he is a one man army🤘)

[@franknichtbretschneider9462]

I think Orgy did a better job. Only my opinion! Leo is great, but sometimes another guy is better.@@frock512

[@cabber20]

😂

[@aegresen]

@@garethevans9789 Kinda agree, just needed something more, but je ne sais quoi. Mainly, anything shorter than the 8 minute mark of the original is a crime XD

[@jamesadela8112]

Honestly, this and Orgy's cover of Blue Monday, both are tied number one on my list. Epic cover sir, truly epic!

[@jtrichards1231]

Once again Leo IMPROVES a song while capturing its original essence! This is fantastic!

[@drewfinn5369]

Not improved but it's ok

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

It needs to be longer to match the original

[@donaldsutton1846]

I’m So Excited - Pointer Sisters need some love!

[@merrickcummings1561]

This song really gets the Leo touch at 3:30. Goes from a good cover, to an amazing cover.

[@bud1lite]

🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@patrickthijssen2042]

No matter what song Leap Frog does, its always an improvement. If you havent seen this band live, you should. I saw them live yesterday in Effenaar, Eindhoven in the Netherlands, it was awesome.

[@TheKazpure1]

Seen him in Wolverhampton Oct 3rd 2024...bloody amazing concert ❤

[@RamCruiserOverland]

As a metal head that also enjoys new wave and 80s pop, this is 🔥

[@COArsenal]

As a massive New Order fan…this song simply kicks ass! Well Done!!!

[@brogandb7]

It's not the weekend until we get a Leo cover on a Friday afternoon 🎉

[@СлаваЕвгеньев-з2в]

Me: Yeah, leo's cover and friday evening is perfect! Me ( two seconds later): Wait, if it's evening here, it should not be it in America Me (another two seconds later): Wait, there're english-speaking people in Europe....

[@ZenobiaDecrespin]

🎯 💯 🎯!!!!

[@r4fn0v]

Weekend begins on monday. Blue monday.

[@СлаваЕвгеньев-з2в]

and what does weekstart ends with then?@@r4fn0v

[@Bumblefoot]

Love this!! 🤘🤘🤘

[@georgen5882]

I like that it’s a mix of the original beat and the Orgy cover. One of my favorite covers he has done is Africa by Toto. Always puts a nice spin on it.

[@drewadams2560]

I am 60 and this just rocks. Thanks mate love your work!

[@360entertainment2]

I grew up on the Orgy version and never realized it was a cover until I was in my mid 20’s, this version feels like it blends in the best parts of both. Such a great song, thank you for covering this Leo!!!

[@JimPekarek]

I just learned it wasn't the original right now, lol

[@BattleCryForFreedom]

Thank you for doing this song justice. I love the original, your version, and Orgy's. Thank you again!

[@petewdev5591]

I always appreciate that although he plays guitar (amongst everything else), Leo plays bass finger-style rather than with a plectrum 🤘

[@STEVSKI7]

This can’t get any better. ❤

[@DuncanMcintyre-jk3qb]

I ran by a flock of seagulls fella keep up the quality product

[@NoneofUrbusiness-p9w]

One of your best performances.

[@FL-ym6hm]

You rarely disappoint Leo. Digging this version. 🤘🏻

[@pedroratto2939]

This is another Leo masterpiece!!!!!!!!

[@nevar108]

Yep... my new alarm for Monday mornings... Thanks Leo!

[@cottonbrad]

Hit like before I hit play! One of my favourite songs is now one of my favourite covers! As the Mask says....SSSSSSSMOKIN'!!!!!

[@michaellucas8927]

Never would I have imagined this song sounding this good. 🤯🔥

[@jabsluna]

I was a little concerned as "Blue Monday" is just one of THOSE songs, to me at least. You did it justice. Best cover of the song, in my opinion.

[@OlegOfTheDead]

1:46 WOW !! Awsome!

[@erichendrickson4118]

I've been waiting for this song for years! Well done Leo. Thanks so much.

[@robiel317420]

Best cover of Blue Monday I've heard. Bravo.

[@deboa8it892]

I Love this guy! He makes every song even better and takes not so great songs and makes them great. ❤

This is just beautiful Leo, always loved the original song. This cover is done amazingly as always with your covers 🤘😎

[@jameyco]

This is better than the original. Absolutely amazing. Thank you for making it better.

[@steamygrave]

Good tune, excited to hear it

[@karduar]

Wow, Leo has never let me down but this one is just awesome. Always liked this song but now i love it...great stuff.

[@JRodPhotoArt]

Wow! Two of my most faorite bands and artists!! Well done Leo !!!!! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

Absolutely awesome! I'd LOVE to see a full length version. This track was originally 7.5 minutes of pure musical bliss

[@sYd6point7]

One of my favorite songs. I have the original press of this in my dj vinyl pile ♡♡♡ this one might need to join it lol.

[@naterob2222]

Great filter! Love this song too. I super appreciate your weekly work and great content 😊

[@douglasmoore8033]

Leo's breakdowns have got to be close to legendary status. I'd buy his whole library of only breakdowns. Leo, please tour the U.S.!!

[@noelmuaddib2219]

The original version is one of my favorite all-time songs. This is a damn great cover. Strike that awesome cover.

[@DrakeBarrow]

"Look oh hubby yeah, OUTRO!" 😄 Great cover, and that closing bit got me laughing.

[@ericwalter9295]

Leo, BROTHER. Everything you have put out is AMAZING!!! I listen to such a wide variety of music. You cover so much, and your collaborations are often better than the original version. Been listening for about 5 years, trying to spread the word Brother!!! Any shows in North America? I would go way out of my way to See your show.

[@btbarons8420]

Ok, I was stoked by last week's PSB, but this raises it to the next level! Love me some synth music!

[@toxigenic]

You did such a great job (as always). I really loved the heavy chorus!

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

This slaps so hard it fucks... This fucks so hard you're sore but want more! I remember hearing this on the radio surrounded by Eddie Grant's Electric Avenue and Falco's Rock Me Amadeus... And Tron was in theaters. The 80's at their absolute best!

[@LookAtThisRock]

This is WAAAAAAYYY more chipper and upbeat than I would have expected. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Blue Monday always had a depressing, melodically feel to it and that's what I loved about the song where as this cover gives me the Ska happy feels that I tried so desperately in vain to drown in high school when it least suspected it. Personal feelings aside, Frog Leap Studios, I applaud your initiative take on this cover and it's sure to be another smash hit!

[@ramongrimaldo7974]

Wow fantastic 10.5 I also like Orgy's version and I first heard that one in "I still know what you did last summer movie". Awesome song 10.5

[@bakonzeporkchop8938]

Awwwwwwwsome job Leo!

[@Inmate533]

That was way better than I thought it would be. Nicely done!!

[@soarrefly]

Instruments: Killin it Vocals: perfect Visuals: 10/10 🤌

[@Jim-ic2of]

Ahh , feels good 😮😂!

[@BloinkXP]

This is one of my all time favorite songs. Lord have mercy Leo...this is by FAR the best cover I have heard. The production and rearranging gave me goosebumps....this crushed my expectations. Also, top notch video...going from blue to red theme...are you a genius?

[@normandidier1]

Very good my man!

[@stureid8027]

I'm an 80s kid from NZ... and that is now my new favorite cover!! Hell yeah! How does it feel Mr Marrocioli... outstanding once again. Love it!!

[@heatherstahr3515]

I'd love a Leo cover of Midlife Crisis by Faith No More. 🤘🏻🤘🏻 We love your covers in our household. 💚🖤

[@rizthebloody]

I want to hear him do "We care alot"

[@johnsearles9907]

Abso bloody lutely do we need a Leo cover of Midlife Crisis

[@raymanart]

My goodness, Leo! You did it! This metal cover has blown me away! Wow! Thanks man!

[@OlegOfTheDead]

One of the best Frog Leap Studios cover for sure!

[@Capt_Caveman205]

The quality is always so amazing. Yes hes an incredible musician and singer but lets not forget to geek out on his mixing and editing skills. This guy is just amazing. I don't get why he hasn't been showing up on my feed in a long time. Luckily Funky Cold Madina brought it back to me. Love that shit.

[@notyouraverageharleyquinnstan]

Love this song! Great cover👏

[@DamienThorne-w4l]

A collaboration doing "We Are The People" America could use such a song from a musical genius like you.

[@stevenhaines9489]

This is kick ass!!!! The neighbors will love it soon!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🍻🍻🤪🤪🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@michaelaxtell592]

Omg love it so much. Forgotten favorite and like many of your covers it's like getting to listen to it again for the first time

iconic. metal version of this song.. AWESOME!!!

[@colbypaul7749]

This version is colonic not iconic.. Perhaps slightly ironic...

[@oobikenobi5328]

Listening to this actually gave me goosebumbs, so awesome.

[@генакотович]

Изначально крутая песня стала ещё круче. Вот теперь бы на Nine Inch Nails годный каверок.

[@viktoraskesminas8033]

I love how Leo lost his productivity in amount, but held it in quality. Keep it going. Less is more.

[@ThePicklebrooks]

I'm so happy he's taking more time for him and his family. I was sad that we weren't getting guaranteed weekly Leo BUT totally get it and nothing but mad respect for the guy. A genius

[@SomePaintGuy]

Always a fan of orgy's take on this so this rocks just as much

[@colbypaul7749]

No it doesn't rock as much the vocals are weak. Lacking in heavy bass..

[@tombriggs1000]

YES! Finally! SUPER stoked you finally covered this. Gives me goosebumps listening. THANK YOU

[@mtrebman]

woohoo finally get to view a video in less than 10 views

[@bayoulifestyle]

Not sure how I discovered you, but I’m glad I did. Great job.

[@johnsmith-ee6tr]

Better than the origional 🎉

[@AnthonyAnthony-tk4ye]

Another great cover Leo!!! My buddy who was in a touring band once upon a time (sadly he’s no longer with us) turned me on to you about 6 years ago and you never cease to blow my mind bro!!!! He wanted to put a band together with me doing something similar to you and I bet we would have rocked houses down!!!

Tears for fears- every body wants to rule the world.

[@DonsAnalysis]

Wow, this and the newest song funky cold medina. Unreal talent to remake these songs. And do almost ALL of it yourself. Kudos to you sir! Big Fan!

[@DonsAnalysis]

And might I add, my 4 year old son has a playlist of your songs (monkey, Frozen, Pokemon, rebel yell, tons of others) and ROCKS OUT on his play guitar lol

[@MrMoney331]

Hell yes! Getting me pumped for the day!

[@bfish9700]

This is awesome. Closer to new order than orgy but more metal 👍

[@patrickkrippendorf6347]

Genius! Another epic transformation which made an already good song even better! Thanks!

[@ExecutiveSubSpearfishing]

Wow man, I already loved Blue Monday, but you've made me love it even more! Rock on! :)

Ahhhh another Moracchioli Metal Cover Masterpiece....if youre ever in the US on the east coast....would to have you swing by Pennsylvanian preferably around Philadelphia or slightly outside of the city.....would love to hear you live n possible meet n greet...ever thought of putting your covers on vinyl...would b sic

[@DaveDeBaeremaeker]

A Leo tour in the US would be sick. Once he's done in PA, send him south to Charlotte NC :)

[@bakDp]

Everything is great. I love this style of music very much.

[@PaulWalker1]

Brilliant. Best cover in ages!

[@fokkerdude]

In my humble opinion, this is your best one yet. I've really liked others you have done, but this is the first one I love! This one had me at the opening crunchy salvo. Brilliant cover. 😎🤘

[@alexbenavides3564]

This 100% the best cover of this song I’ve ever heard. Dare I say it’s just as good if not better than the original. 😮 All Along the Watchtower-Jimi Hendrix’s version

[@SubversionGarage]

Ok, this was much better than I expected. Well done sir
