[@notgonnahappen7899]

Stuff like this really makes me really appreciate the power of the Internet.

[@SeanC]

I feel like I could run up a mountain, breaking the sound barrier, fucking smashing through tress and goats and shit listening to this IT MAKES ME FEEL ALL POWERFUL

[@Nogusaurus]

The fuck's a goat ever done to you?

[@SeanC]

Nogusaurus was chase to school by one in my youth. this is a true story. ever looked into the eyes of a goat? eyes of SATAN. SATAN I TELL YOU.

[@Nogusaurus]

In that case smash away

[@emachine310]

Hahaha for real

[@christopherwhk]

love this song

[@Samdaman131]

The 7 people that disliked this probably didn't dance safely enough.

[@TheBeardedFrogSage]

They're no friends of mine I can tell you.

[@Deadmensriches]

Jay Gmelt lol

[@samuelbraddock6505]

***** 43 sad people now. They aren't friends of mine either.

[@jokinha2333]

73 now

[@xerato3]

yeah the other ones might have banged their heads (headbanging) hitting the table or something like that.. :-p ! Because the song it itself just ROCKS KICK-ASS)-STYLE ALL THE WAY! :D ---ENTER EPICNESS-STYLE! :D BOOM!

[@bigoldpankaces]

[@adamcoutts9591]

Jack Mcdougall Exactly

[@bonezb1]

U can shred if u wana u can leave Ur friends behind

[@RedMcc]

Ok so now someone has to officially release this now. Was a kid when this came out and even though I loved punk/ thrash, I loved this song. Well done.

[@ProvokedCoffee]

Wow he's happy playing that song he dosent stop smiling

[@zets8238]

He is always happy its great

[@nekosquadrose4053]

+Dishonest Loki loki primu :3

[@emperorpalpatine2184]

I find it ironic because the singer in the safety dance music video frowned the entire time

[@AgentTasmania]

Occasionally he gets slightly sad, then he stops being sad and resumes being awesome.

[@ItsAsparageese]

Oh man, this is such a great jam! I'm so glad I stumbled on a playlist that included it. This just got more fun the entire time, and the variety of ways you changed it up was fantastic. Love it, can't wait to check out the rest of your channel.

[@ScottishGamerBoy]

I'm a 19 year old male and I squeaked with happiness when my phone told me this was uploaded..

[@Raidan1667]

And your point being ?

[@scapegrace1998]

Sir. It would have been wrong of you if you didn't

[@waynez78]

I'm surprised you know this song. This song was in the early 80s if im not wrong.

[@DonQuiKong]

waynez78 Theyre playing it on the Radio quite often (at least in germany)

[@VanpyroGaming0]

waynez78 I'm only 16 and i adore this song.

[@vickidickinson6420]

I used to own the Men Without Hats LP back in (?) 1984 or thereabouts. This is such a fun interpretation of a song that was originally sung in a very deadpan manner. Loved it!

[@L1011Widebody]

On the subject of 80s songs I'd love to hear Duran Duran... Hungry Like the Wolf, Girls On Film, Rio, View To A Kill, anything would be pretty great.

[@gabrielnieves3972]

anything this guy touches becames the best shit ever, i swear

[@knightrider1977]

Very cool!! Its nice to see 80's songs still alive and kicking!

[@ADHDummy]

Everytime I have one of those days that i just cant get through I put on something of yours and it makes me feel 100% again dont ever stop being a badass you can heal people with you music its just that good

[@johnsguitarmusicanddemos]

How can anyone dislike this version? Badass!

[@BonePapi]

Welp, its not safe anymore

[@JoeCavanaugh]

"Y'know, that dance wasn't as safe as they said it was." 🎸

[@llamaschilling5876]

Fry

[@danieletamburini]

@@llamaschilling5876 Awesome. Awesome to the max.

[@twitch.101]

Erock, you are my favorite youtube channel ever! You inspire me to become a better guitarist and to work hard at it. Keep it up!

[@anime7479]

Do kill la kill meets metal

[@digi_hero]

[@tomrosales3125]

Silver Sorrow Nope, he did´t yet c:

[@midbaconator]

Dont lose your way right?

[@SpartanMJO12]

DO THE IMPOSSIBLE SEE THE INVISIBLE ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER TOUCH THE UNTOUCHABLE BREAK THE UNBREAKABLE ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER WHAT YOU WANNA DO IS WHAT YOU GONNA DO JUST BREAK THE RULES AND YOU'LL SEE THE TRUTH

[@TheMEKO666]

SpartanMJO12 I would love to hear his version of this song.

[@RoFLduhasLoLgesagt]

i love how you smile at every video ! this is what music should do, its really exciting to watch your vids, pls, never stop to love music/ to play guitar, its so enthusiastically

[@smoovmoov1707]

This rocked my socks. Headbanging while doing the safety dance. It doesn't get any better than that.

[@jamesbishop4183]

headbangn at 9 in the morning......

[@jamesbishop4183]

wow, make that 10.....i have to stop procrastinating so much.

[@twilightfire93]

This is one of THE most amazing covers I have ever heard you do. I absolutely love it!!!

[@maroslavtute9560]

he loves what he does and you can see it....great job

[@RealCrops]

Dude -- that was fun eh? Music is a bloody joy and you prove it with your love for it and that big assed smile! Well done.

[@mrtannzr]

I would love the theme to How to Train Your Dragon.

[@K4RN4GE911]

Test Drive Meets Metal? That could work.

[@K4RN4GE911]

***** Unfortunately, that will have to wait. It turns out the recording software that I got with my Audiobox interface to record guitar was only a thirty day trial. It's a hundred dollars just for the cheapest version of Studio One, a hundred dollars that I regretfully can't spend at the moment. Sorry. It's good to know that you enjoy the material I DO have though. It's appreciated.

[@K4RN4GE911]

***** Thanks. I'll be sure to record some better stuff and learn about mixing and mastering and all that jazz once I get back into it.

[@crusaderproft]

YES

[@SongsAboutCereal]

I have to say, you're one of my favourite artists out there. Your smile is infectious and your music is beautiful. Please always continue what you do. :)

[@satanicsaucepans3285]

There's roughly 7.3 billion people in the world and i'm pretty sure of all of them this guy is my favourite. My two kids have just moved into the silver and bronze positions. ;)

[@CHUTLU777]

Awesome man. Gave me a great laugh but also a fantastic arrangement! Very enjoyable.

[@ChunkyCoffee]

I can't think of anything else but Scrubs when it comes to this song.

[@nara070690]

It's also in the first episode of Futurama

[@nicoligno]

Adam Jensen FTW

[@danny1884]

I think of Canadian Trump in South Park.

[@Steadfish]

This is the funnest one of these you've done in a long time! I love it!

[@Bondubras]

I would love to see Weird Al Yancovic meets metal...

[@liljubsy]

[@guyegardner]

Dude. You are EPIC. No denying that. you have saved me hours upon hours of time by doing Conan, Last of the Mohicans, Superman, Mr. Roboto, and Godzilla, all of which I wanted to make metal. So I hereby officially claim "Beds are Burning" by Midnight Oil OFF LIMITS!!! Seriously, though. You rock. Love the shirt, btw!

[@johnny8914]

[@xpirate16]

[@Sharpclawasaurus]

Could you try One Who Gets In Our Way from Xenoblade Chronicles? >:D

[@KyRex1783]

Or better yet, a whole Xenoblade Medley?! OH GOD. If he ever does Mechanical Rhythm, I will flip my shit.

[@Sharpclawasaurus]

Ivory Valor I totally forgot about that song, DO IT

[@KyRex1783]

Sharpclawasaurus FUCK YES

[@Sharpclawasaurus]

Metal8Ball Xenoblade Chronicles is an epic JRPG on the Wii. Very few people have heard about it, it isn't "mainstream", so to speak.

[@KyRex1783]

Metal8Ball Mechanical Rhythm One Who Gets In Our Way Those Who Bear Their Name Confrontation With The Enemy Those I definitely recommend.

[@eddieking2976]

I remember this when I was in my early twenties. Awesome remake. Thanks so much my man.

[@Quaralane]

Definitely more interesting than the original

[@Dirks_NUMA_Files]

Having grown up in the 80's I liked this song. Not a great song mind you but it was catchy and entertaining. This elevates it to a higher level. I like it a lot

[@jamesbishop4183]

the original is the shiznits. but i love this too

[@GLockPizzleMan]

Brilliant. Love any guitarist that smiles when they play; how could you possibly be miserable when playing this?!? Big, fat, jiggly kudos to you, Sir.

[@tomcat205]

damn! south park brought me here xD

[@syaffee64]

Dude. You are amazing. I'm at a loss for words. BRILLIANT.

"The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Meets Metal" would be PICA DAS GALÁXIAS !

[@damonlockstadt1905]

Im afraid that is extraordinarily pleasing to view and watch. I didnt even need lyrics. 100%. Flawless. Perfect.

[@Doin]

Thank you so much for metalizing this! One of my favorite all-time 80s songs. I still blast it in the car!

[@rebeccas528]

I've been loving your stuff for a long time. Lately been obsessed with the Syfy show Haven, so I'd love to see some of their themes go metal. Haven, Eureka, Warehouse 13, etc etc.

[@GhostUnlimited]

You totally killed this, man! This was so dope! Keep up the good work and music!

[@basedjulius4565]

***** Metalheads don't use the word dope mate

[@GhostUnlimited]

I don't listen to metal.
