Per the Tank "This is a true story about a guy in an elevator at House of Blues named Moss. And he was apparently such a vibe they wrote a song about him." And "Kevin was frustrated at one point on like floor 7 he screamed "I just want to get down" and they said that's a lyric"

[@muddyfeet69]

that was a crime !!!!

[@Tiro84]

They were... and I quote... "not suitable for radio"... one of the most popular, if not THE most popular German band right now is allegedly not suitable for radio... biggest joke ever.

[@Clemens_H]

And now one of the biggest German TV programs (Pro7) is (and was ever since pump it) one of their biggest supporters and sponsors. They do Collabs with a late night show called TV total, comparable to Jimmy Kimmel

[@qobide]

@@Tiro84 "right now" is not the same as "in 2021". Also don't ignore the name change. And also don't ignore that the format of the national contest is ever changing and the (stupid) idea for 2022 (all national candidates have constant airplay on the youth radio stations) was never done before or after that year. It's a little bit more nuanced.

[@dereinzigwahreRichi]

@Tiro84 that's easy to explain. Not suitable for GERMAN radio. You know the stations that play Limp Bizkit, Disturbed or Five Finger Death Punch...but only their covers of "Behind Blue eyes", "Sound of Silence" or "House of the Rising sun". They're so friggin HARDCORE, these Radio DJs!!! :⁠-⁠D I don't listen to german radio except when I must, in stores or so. But I don't believe anything changed. Just the same autotune pop sh** every single day. Just imagine that song being played...radios all over the country would explode, hearing aids would detonate, the masses would suffer nervous breakdowns... Let's try that! :⁠-⁠D

Funfact: The elevator operator is Uke Bosse, a german actor. But he's not only an actor. He is a also professor on a media school in Berlin for game design. And he was an editor for german video game magazines and he is famous in the german video game scene.

[@brunoalves3958]

Actually that sounds more like ‘bossa nova’ rather than samba. But, in fact, bossa nova kind of sounds like softer and slowed down samba.

[@LordDonnington725]

6:23, classic elevator music which is then turned into a breakdown. Only Electric Callboy would dare. Also, TanktheTech dropped some behind the scenes knowledge and explained that this song is inspired by events that took place at House of Blues in Chicago while they were on their US tour. The venue has 7 floors and only one elevator which has a dedicated operator.

[@Indyofthedead]

It pains me that Nick didn't get this

[@dvsmike]

Came to say this. Anything involving Electric Callboy, i check Tank's channel first

[@mattpiemonte2826]

​@dvsmike love tank but it's so unfortunate to me at least he only brought back roadie reactions for a video of the band he works with and promotes as amazing as I think they are. I've watched so many roadie reactions despite knowing nothing about gear and loved all the knowledge he shared. Unfortunately now we are left mostly with very basic ones that are cut from his twitch streams. I'm happy he's back to work and of course needs to support his family but those reactions were my go to for every new song and even ones I discovered through him.

[@Corvious]

The line "I just wanna get down, but I'm just going up" with context is fking hilarious.

[@cwrichardson3]

You mean too not to

[@catboyjef]

The kid at 4:59 is wearing the RATATATA suit. Its probably Babymetal which is hillarious

[@elenuvien]

they had this doll on ratatata set but it never made it to the actual video haha

[@LETMino85]

Babymetal!!! Omg. I can't 😂😂😂

[@stationdisatrous647]

That club music is dark electro, a genre that isn't well known outside of europe. Artists include Neikka RPM, Sebastian Komor, JUNKSISTA, Aryia, and Laether Strip, and it is definitely a vibe.

[@ariantes221]

The baby has a Ratatata discoball helmet on.... it's Baby Metal.

[@bl_2410]

Fuuuuck me, I hadn’t made the connection.

[@aaronman4772]

Literal elevator music break in the middle of this song, Choo Chooing the chugging in Tekkno Train. I’m convinced there’s nothing these guys can’t make fun. Just perfect Electric Callboy

[@Metalhead4theSavior]

4:06 "So random." No, Nik, that's elevator music into more breakdowns.

[@omadduxo]

What everyone seems to miss is the elevator operator blowing a kiss to the mermaid earlier in the video when they are at the floor with the aquarium.

[@derekk8523]

They have become comfort metal. Like your moms meatloaf it’s so good and you crave it all the time

[@Gwarrar02]

Tank giving context to the "I just wanna get down" line was hilarious. Kevin is a gem.

[@sw_elian]

ELECTRIC CALLBOY IS BACK LET'S GOOO

[@ccercosp]

The bossanova break (it's also brazilian, but it's not samba) is because it's the epitome of elevator music. Then junting to something really chill is musically clever and unexpected. Pulling musical humor as they do is really underrated, IMHO.

[@DuctTapeSloth]

Electric Callboy always makes my mood better.

[@ihaverng]

The Rammstein vibes in some of the Electric Callboy songs are always amazing 😎

Kevin is a huge fan of Rammstein. There was a really old vlog (Sushi Era) where they all headbanged to „Du Hast“ in their Tourbus.

Elevator music bro for the “samba”. Like Muzak. Also the guy is Uke Bosse, a German actor.

[@Andrewheydt21]

[@damiien2684]

This song is about the Elevator Operator at the House of Blues in Chicago, as a former musician, that place kinda sucks for bands. You have to ride an elevator to get to the main venue and the dressing rooms or climb a lot of stairs but that Elevator Operator is a chill vibe dude.

[@damiien2684]

The breakdown is elevator music lol

[@Stormwarnings-000]

Being an extra in the club scene hearing the last 60 seconds approximately 800 times was the most fun I have ever had wearing almost nothing in a subzero coal plant. 12/10 would frostbite again for the boyzzzz

[@tho_she_be_but_litl]

I saw a picture of David in a puffer coat, and I thought of you guys. With all those people in there dancing, I wondered if they kept it cold on purpose.

[@Zombot012]

They are so damn good, it's beyond anything else at this point. Also someone suggested on their FB they should make a song about being on a bus and called it SHOW ME YOUR BUSSY. I have never agreed with an idea more. Someone pitch it to them, I need it now.

Electric Callboy techno electronics is Euro-Dance. Check out Scooter for that sort of German electro-vibe and then fuse that to metal.

[@mikehurt3290]

Good to know, I know in "we Got the Moves" the techno breakdown was hardstyle

[@eweng903]

@@mikehurt3290 Yes, Electric Callboy tends to fuse Euro-Dance and hardstyle in a way that makes their music feel more like a party anthem with a metal edge. Enter Shikari and BMTH are more electronicore and blend dubstep, drum and bass, trance, and industrial together with heavy rock to make heavy electro rock music.
