2020 Update : BATS
Ooohhwaahhhhoooo
you uncultured swine dont understand the joke, fucken hell
If no one else did, I was about to.
Well, they are rodents too. They are basically rats with wings.
Btw, you are a genius.
I can't roll B's
"Hi I'm Cardinal Copia and I'll be your freestyle dance instructor."
Best comment
Megamind would not claim that Tobias Forge lacks presentation.
What I want to know is if that was Tobias himself doing the dancing or if they hired a professional to do it instead. Did Tobias actually learn how to dance like that, or did they just put someone else in the Cardinal Copia makeup for this video?
@@autumnphillips151 that's a good question, though i wouldnt be surprised if it was Tobias, guy seems to be about having flair in his videos.
though that would that creepy mask a whole lot more.
@@UltimateGamerCC In interviews Tobias claims to have done all the dancing in this video, and had a body double for the bits where he was standing still. So either he's been taking secret ballet classes for a few years to be able to pull off those moves (some of that is fairly advanced stuff!), Satan has gifted him with perfect pirouettes, or he's fucking with us. ;)
1:04 how I walk to the microwave when my pizza rolls are done
I love his "singing in the rain" moment with the umbrella.
Dance choreographer: Ok how many twirls should this dance have?
Tobias: Yes
All of them, eh?
It really puts this moment where he's just casually pointing out the hole in his shoe in perspective: ruclips.net/video/6p-GqIVaM1Y/видео.html
And back to back. Part of what makes the video so fu!n loving and comical
I lol’d bro hahaha
Don't forget 1:04
Tobias Forge has said that he wants Ghost to sound like the greatest band from the seventies and eighties that you've never heard before.
Mission accomplished.
Umm..
@@dannychavis3412 what?
via the olde one video...yes i know. Namel...i mean HE confirmed that
Ratsssss.... AU-OAHHHH.... Ratsssss...
* € ( BC ) " %= ?? 0. ¡¡!!!!!!!√ ™ = 555
If this video were around during the 80s it would've been legendary. It's a masterpiece.
It is a masterpiece
The art of the truly artistic video clip was lost after the early 90's for me, and Ghost is bringing it back in spades. Absolute killer drums all the way through this, solid, complex without being complicated. Genius.
My son is 5 and I didn't realized he stopped to watch this music video (i had it on while cleaning.) Next thing i know, he's dancing around the house and growling "Them rats!" Highlight of my day lol ❤
That must have been adorable!
@daleshelden8394 it was the cutest thing I've ever seen! He even tried doing the little arm dance thing that Copia does lol so hours later we both were doing it together, it was a great time lol
1:04 that must be one of the best dance movements ever
don't forget 2:36 too.
LMAOOOOO
I like 2:48
@@CCluff Ice skater moment
or 1:13
"Darling, lets go to a musical" "Cats?" "No, Rats!"
if Ghost made a musical, i'd attend.
And nowadays, it could be "Bats" :D
Cats was attrocious.rats shit all over those cats living in dustbins.
@@UltimateGamerCC same
This comment needs a lot more exclamation marks
That end riff is fucking filthy. Damn that's good shit.
Can we talk about that bass line? I can't get enough of it
He plays all the instruments on the albums except the drums. Crazy
This song prevents me from hearing the word rats like a normal person again.
Oh thank God I'm not the only one with this problem!
Rrrrats rats rats ratsss
rrrats oawahaaa
Panama part two.
Me too...

@@Eugeneman18.. huh?
Yes yes...
Moments in this mv that never fail to crack me up:
- The lil jaw wiggle at the beginning
- 1:04
- Special Ghoul putting his freaking _leg_ on the _keyboard_
- SG playing guitar with gloves on
- Evil horse
I swear this man took ballet lession or smth.. those spins were too professional
I think a lot of the crazy dance moves are a professional dancer in the Cardinal Copia costume intercut with shots of Tobias wearing it. You can sort of see his body proportions changing, in some shots he's really skinny and others he's normal.
the head/mask also looks disproportionately large in some shots 🤔
@@SeaBeast4Life that’s exactly what it is. A professional dancer, supposedly he was just asked to dance to the music on set. No routine or anything, he just went wild.
i think that the cardinal with the hair all messed up is the professional dancer
@@24fretsoffury This is.... just delightful.
Sometimes when I’m sad I come back to this music video and watch the cardinal do his little fancy dance.
Cheers me up everytime
Same ghestie
I wish it was him actually doing it but I guess you can't have everything!
1:04 🤣🤣🤣
U deserve more likes ,pal 😂
LITERALLY WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THE SAME THING
I love how Papa doesn't sexualize his dancers- they're artists and not just eye candy and that's rare
Someone didn't watch dance macabre.
Yeah funny bc I know a couple of those dancers and they all dance at Jumbos Clown Room in LA. Look it up and if you have never been GO it’s AWESOME!
Still looking great.
@@rafaelt1772 that was his father
i might be mistaken but they are half naked
It's incredible how when i started listening to this band, this song had just came out, and now i see that 4 year have passed.
What an amazing band.
Cardinal Copia clearly won the second most "Employee of the Month" awards with them fire dance moves. He's killing it.
Nicholas Herman I'm dying 🤣🤣🤣
Seriously tho haha!
I honestly never knew that Cardinal Copia was a rubber mask. I'm so ashamed...
@@nicoleobrien2517 all the characters Tobias plays are rubber, don't know if you noticed that too.
@@ghostranger5255 I'm pretty sure he's wearing just makeup in the "Square Hammer" video. I may have to go back to check now 🤔
I'm SO late discovering this band and their music. Ghost is now my favorite band, love their sound.
same lmao
Welcome to the Fandom, we all love and welcome you and you being new just means you got quite a backlog to enjoy :)
lol same
i`m into my 1st week of Ghost , better late than never . cannot stop listening!!!
Welcome to the clergy
I would like to be in Tobias Forge's head for a MOMENT to know how this was conceived. I want him to look at the coordinator and go "Needs more rats... say, do you think we have the budget for a horse too?"
3:48 Best part of the song... I could listen to this over and over. So powerful!
Best part --> 4:25
My mom: come show everyone that little dance you do
Me: 1:04
Lmao,why i laughed so hard at this?! 😂😂😂
I don't know if I'm sleep deprived or what but I can't stop looping this
There's an animated gif of this that loops back and forth and it is probably my favorite ever.
Yep!!
I CHOKED ON MY FOOD- AJJSNFJFNGJ
Cardinal Copia is definitely the man to take this band into stratosphere levels of notoriety and fame. He’s already legendary.
Cardinal forever!🖤
Now papá emeritus iv but he Will die in some time x'd
Is Cardinal making anymore appearances at the shows?
@@EmeritusIV616 is the cardinal no more?
@@spellbound6921 The cardinal got a promotion and became Emeritus IV, he's not dead yet
I’m a 15 year old girl who’s a huge kpop listener and my dad introduced me to tons of rock bands and I have loved ghost for over 5 years now ❤️
Vai gostar de Alice Cooper e King Diamond
tell your dad he should listen to Ween. And then you should do the same.
@@imchuckbass4757 definitely will thanks!
2:31 That is certainly one of the most beautiful guitar solos in metal. Short but charming.
It’s taking everything in me not to learn the choreography
@The Ripper I’ve learnt the first quarter but the only dancing I can do is to all of MJs songs 😭
Just learn it :)
"Don't think Mav. Just do" 🤣🤣
Honestly, same.
doooo iiiit!!!!!!!!!!!
*1st time hearing Rats* "Eh, it's okay.."
*11th time hearing Rats* (Dances in sync with the Skull Dancers)
*666th time hearing rats* (Becomes a rat)

.....right?!
This song gives me goosebumps that hurt.
This is really so fucking true 😂
GHOST won ROCK ALBUM OF THE YEAR with Impera!!!! Nov. 20, 2022 AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS
words cannot explain how much i love this band
Imagine releasing a song that becomes more relevant as time passes.
system of a down in a nutshell
Never gonna give you up
Hell yes
No handle bars and Basically most of SoAD
A good number of Kansas songs fit this mold as do System of a Down. Miracles from Nowhere? Hey, Mr Madman, wat'cha know that I don't know could easily be applied to some political leaders who seem completely mad (to me Trump, Bolsonaro, Lukashenko).
4 years later and this song still fucking kills. I can't decide between jazz hands, moshing, headbanging, or dancing. I think that's why I love it so much. Musically it invokes all these different feelings and it's just fucking glorious. I almost peed my pants seeing it live twice. Long live Ghost 👻
OMGs SAME! The instrumental goes SO hard and I can't decide what to do xD
@@MikaMoonlight same here
the only valid dance to this is ballet twirls lol
Can a ghost 👻 truly live? Length’s not really important to a ghost either… 🐀 rat bomb comment 🐀
Don't forget your Vincent Price Mask!! 😉
Can’t believe the Cardinal predicted the style of the Wednesday dance, lol in all seriousness there’s something so hilarious and haunting seeing the movements range from poetically smooth and ballet like, into unpredictable full body gesticulations
It's really awesome, he's like a Mephistopheles.
it's just goth dance, which is basically just moving your body however you can to the rhythm of the music. I heard that for this they just put the music in the background and recorded the video without a planed choreography. the Wednesday dance was planned but it was based on those types of stuff.
I can’t believe I’m so late to this band. One of the greatest I’ve heard, never going back
Tu n'es pas la seule
When you've got razzle dazzle but also hail Satan.
Ghost in a nutshell.
Jazz Hands!
What’s razzle dazzle?
He said the wrath of God on this. I dont think he was hailing satan bud.
@@brazilianman92 He is definitely hailing Satan though.
@@Metalbirne Satan works for God in Juudaism. His job to entice evil to be punished by God. So it makes sense with what his talking about. His basically talking down to mankind. Satan looks down on mankind. Like when he had a bet with god that Job would fail his tests. He enjoys testing mankind through trials.

😂😂😂 yeees!
Heh heh
😂😂🤣
LMAOOOOOOOO
LOLLL
Ghost should get a Grammy every year till 2050.

I just realized that Cardinal’s “Papa” skull makeup is a rat skull and it makes everything so much more epic
I love your name
You know what's also epic? Go watch Square Hammer's music video. At a particular point in the movie the band is watching, there is a moment of color. I won't spoil it, but foreshadowing for this album is there and it's amazing,
@@lucheloco420 IF you mean the "Cardinal" on the cross, I saw it too.:)
@@lucheloco420 i watched that video a lot, ando today i noticed that! Been searching to see if anyone noticed it and if it actually was in fact am easter egg...and i just stumbled on you comment! :D
Not sure how a human face looks anything like a rat skull but ok, if you say so lol...
If you think he can dance you should see his father’s father’s father’s father’s father. His father.
rookie4311 lol
hahahahahahaha
rookie4311 this was fuckin solid comic gold. Well done friend!
This will never get old!
Gagaghaha
We need more musical geniuses like this. Great music and very entertaining to watch. Future musicians should take note.
How is this song 4 years old already? It's still as fresh to me as it was when it was released.
To me, Rats is to Ghost as Gutter Ballet was to Savatage. Just totally embracing the dramatic storytelling in their video, backed by an awesome song to match.
If you cant handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my 1:04
Hahahahahahaha
bro i fucking lost it at this comment lmfao
knew exactly where that was gonna take me but i still clicked on it to see it again
I cried 🤣
I just woke up my kids laughing at this
For the few who don't understand the dancing, it's sinister, in the tradition of the original Twin Peaks series, when the possessed serial killer did Fred Astaire-like dances. Here the cardinal is doing a sort of homage to "Singin' In the Rain," only the puddles are blood, not water. It's macabre. And it suggests disease, as in St. Vitus' Dance, a symptom of Sydenham's chorea. Nothing campy about this -- it's horror for those with eyes to see.
Top comment.
It's also fucking beautiful and very sexy :P.
Ghost are not taking themselves THAT seriously.
I agree!
Oh, jeeezus. That explains why my cat looked at me like I was having a stroke, when I tried some Cardinal "moves". Huh! ...you learn sumthin' new every day!
Ha! :-D
This was the first song I heard when I first discovered Ghost around 2018-2019, and it's still my favorite song of theirs. I love that it's simultaneously heavy and uper catchy. When hearing it live in Oslo, I was amazed by how huge the chorus sounded and how badass the outro was.
Ghost, thank you for making this timeless masterpiece.
Legend has it that he's still dancing
CDC worker: Sir I'm going to need you to clear the area immediat-
Cardinal Copia: *pirouettes*
CDC worker: No okay you're good
Finally an original comment
CDC worker: now, Excuse me while i continue to handle this rat cage with no gloves on.
Laughed harder at this than necessary.
I'm starting to think taking ballet in first through third grade wasn't a bad thing because now I can just terrorize my family dressed as cardinal

The demon in the hall 1:04
As soon as I saw this I busted out laughing

this comment is underrated as FUCK
Hahahaha
THIS FUCKIN KILLE DMEE
words can't describe how much i'm in love with the band, the music, and everything about it
it's like a gold mine of serotonin
where have i been all this time
Come for the metal. Stay for the pirouettes. Thats Ghost.
*listens to first 5 seconds*
"fuck me this is going to be awesome"
Listens to the rest
"Fuck me this sounds like shit"
That outro riff. Fuccckkkkk it’s good

Ghost is one of those friendly Satanic bands, you know the one you would actually introduce to your parents.
Professional dancer for sure. I love this band. Love to see live
Don't know what you guys mean about 1:04, that's how I usually approach people to make friends.
Mr. Futago that’s why this comment has three likes
Mr. Futago that sounds like it would be very effective
I'm certainly the Cardinal's friend now.
@@ThisHorrorFilmDoesNotExist I don't have many friends.
@@lasc1v1ous: Bullshit. You have Ghost. So you have everything. Duh.
For those wondering what the white guitar is, it is a Hagstrom Fantomen. Not really sure if anyone even cares but I went through the trouble of figuring it out so might as well share.
GTAwheelman247 thanks for the info! I've been trying to figure out if it was an obscure one-off Gibson, lol!
Pretty sure it's a Gibson RD ;)
The previous Nameless Ghouls were using Gibsons RD, so I guess they needed new guitars from a new manufacturer but using the same style and design... pretty much what Papa did with the full band, different people but same design and style of music...
Yep my bad, I should have checked before talking :) They changed them to Hagstroms
Thanks. Sorta like the Gibson RD guitars.
I’m so glad to be living in these times of turmoil. Because we wouldn’t have ghost. And as they said, if you have ghost: you have everything
The more you understand the lyrices , the more you understand the reallity of the song & then you will love this stuff.
Come for the song, stay for the pirouetting
SNES drunk FUCKING SNES DRUNK! I love your channel. I'm new to it, but I'm taking it all in. Glad to see you and I not only have the best home console in common!

Me in 2018: Amazing song
Me in 2020: Damn it world! This song wasn't supposed to be a suggestion!
BEST COMMENT EVER!!!
I just discovered Ghost through TikTok and I AM GLAD I DID. they’re fucking amazing
This was the song that got me into Ghost. My friend was telling me about the band and I asked if I could hear a song, she put on this music video. I've been hooked ever since.
Seeing Rats performed live, that ending riff is *so* crunchy and satisfying
Homage to Metallica perhaps?
rats
The Ghoulettes rock at the end of it! Gotta love them
that ending riff deserves its own song!!
The rest of the album probably will be complimented by more heavy riffs.
It already has it's own song my friend, listen closer. It is Spöksonat!
I was expecting a breakdown right after to close the song with even more intensity. Like the same riff but lower
Viccy Schreuder I hope so
Ghost is a walking religious trauma to me. I love it.
I swear there was a cartoon I used to watch that had the same sound as in 3:49
I don’t know if it had anything to do with rats but it’s bothering me that it sounds so familiar, yet I can’t remember anything about it 💀
this video is all about cardinal copia's love for flashdance and teaching the moves to nearby decayed women corpses
thought the same thing too!! lol..
berker ön that explains why he came to papa emeritus 0 with a retro boombox on his shoulder. He loves the 80's and john travolta's Saturday night fever
Mihai Doană exactly i thought the same thing after papa copia started to dance
1st time listening: hey this is pretty cool
20th time listening: help me I have a problem
BostonConcert You DO have a problem. You've only listened to it TWENTY times?!?
Same, man. Same.
BostonConcert and thats the main issue with ghost jaja
you are like.meehh
not bad
but still playing it until you realize it is too damn good
BostonConcert i
Lol I have the same problem
Oh my dark lord, I am obsessed. I love them. Thank you!!!!🖤
Headbang: no
dance like Cardinal: *definetly*
if metal was a broadway musical, it would be called Ghost.
Nope. Devin Townsend
Bjorn Lakenstrazen trueeeee
Ditto! Could not agree more.
I think if satanism was a Broadway musical it would be called ghost
He's writing a rock opera
I hope my neighbors like Ghost.
stuff em, if they don't
They will...
My neighbors do weather they like it or not
Mine are about to
They will
That breakdown at the end will forever be the greatest! With the dancers
This is the song that introduced me to Ghost. Hearing it live 2 days ago at a concert in Sydney was AWESOME!!!
If Cardinal Copia doesn't perform any of the choreography at any show I attend, I will ask for my money back
Connor Hayes I think it's a woman in a mask...
dance or riot
That seems to be his persona so I wouldn't be surprised if he did. I would be disappointed too.
Hart Underscore_
What a flat assed and titted Lady...
I'd venture to guess that the Cardi C in this video isn't Tobias Forge at all
I wanted to search up Ghost of Tsushima but I just ended up searching ghost by mistake, I don't regret anything ._.
"There are no mistakes"
Master Ugway
Now listen to Dance Macabre and Cirice (the former shows the most catchy side of the band, the latter is a bit darker and heavier but still very elegant)
New Metalhead?😏😁
I'd call that a happy little accident
It was not a mistake
*squeaks in approval*
One of the best music videos Ive ever seen. Im dying on that hill.
Certainly one of the best videos to come around in the new millenia
I love how much this sounds like an 80's horror movie credits song.
That's a pretty good description. I was thinking it sounded like it was from a musical like Repo or something.
Good Game RC • The Quake Grave kind of sort of like Dokken: dream warriors
skillzorz101 Oh fuck the hell YES! I adore Repo! and its creator, Terrance Zdunich. I want Forge and Zdunich to work together, at some point. I WILL DIE HAPPY IF THAT EVER HAPPENS!
And now “Hunters Moon” is on the Halloween Kills soundtrack , it was inevitable
@@bobmathews9072 beat me to it!
Idk why this band gets so much hate, they are awesome
I’ve never seen hate about them
@@PinkCow0 same bro
@@PinkCow0 it's mostly coming from the metal elitists. They can't sit and enjoy a band that tries new things and doesn't take themselves too seriously.
What’s a new thing about this ? It sounds exactly like generic 80s metal.
@TheMaidofMiddleEarth Yes, we are :)
The bass and drums alone on this track are masterful. Between the playing, the mix and the Actual tone (Fender Jazz is outstanding). An excellent quality hard rock tune all around.
Love how this was done, artistic, hard, and just pure musical genius
Crazy? They said i was crazy. They locked me in a room, a rubber room with RATSSSSSS (aaaAAAA)
Friday 13th. Nice touch.
James Bailey yeah, I feel like I should have seen that coming
Especially the part before he found his pale white horse lol
One thing a lot of modern rock/metal bands seem to neglect is the importance of a larger than life front man
Ghost are one of the few that get it
Only because Tobias has such a big ego believes the nameless ghouls are so replaceable he doesn't even compensate them properly as their music grew bigger as to why they left the band and brought on lawsuits
Whenever I'm listening to ghost I feel so tense in a mildy good way
5 years later, and ballerina Cardi is still one of the best sights to ever have graced this Earth.
The last riff should last longer. It's heavy af
pariskotsaros totally agree. Just imagine if it was the main riff lol this song would create moshpit hahahahaha
It's the same notes as spöksonat if you listen closely
Yeah it has a good rhythm for headbanging too!
Well spotted!
Lucas Bossio that ear tho. Well spotted
Fun fact: Director of this video also made the Cirice video!
ReelEllio that's cool👍
Yup, another tribute to 1980s italian horror.
Nice! :D
>fun fact
ok where is the funny fact?
this is so badass and i love it
whoever choreographed this is *amazing* at their job
It does not matter how many times I watch this, that little dance from the cardinal gets me EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!!
Filmed in California. Turns out they didn't even need to create a set.
I had that thought too. They just went to Skid Row and were like "yep this'll do"
Lmao. Good one. You rock.
Facts
B. Susannah L they’re the Youth Gone Wild
Sure it’s not Detroit?
I love how the last 30 seconds of this song exist as an incredible starting point for an entirely different song.
Yet Ghost has so much going for them, they just integrated it at the end of this song instead, as if that riff doesn't go HARD.
Its the riff in another Ghost song. I’m too baked to remember rn.
@@zvendiearschficker6664 That riff is actually in two other Ghost songs, it's played on synths at the end of Ashes which opens the album but it was also played on strings in Spöksonat from Meliora three years earlier so it was a hell of a build up to it
@@havoc14 and it leads into a completely different song when the play it live.
It also flows into Call Me Little Sunshine really well if you queue those two up together
It's an allegory for how the Renaissance was the end of the Dark Ages and the Plague Years and the transition from the Middle Ages to the Modern Era.
I just got into Ghost. My best friend introduced me about 3 weeks ago. I've become so absorbed. I love it so much.
Some years ago one friend of mine showed me this group. We aren't in contact anymore but these songs are still very dear to me
Absolutely love the choreo in this video. It's like "Thriller" meets a particularly hellish "Singin' in the Rain".
...with a dash of Mary Poppins and spring heeled Jack 😂
Ok, but why is this SO accurate 😂

I love this so freaking much! Definitely one of Ghost best songs & music videos. The instruments esp the bass line are simply gorgeous for the whole album. Easily my fav Ghost album 😊
the fact that all of these scenes are tobias except for the dancing bits (i think??) IS SO AWESOME!! tobias is truly talented.
Really? It is true? I saw something several days ago in tik tok
it was so good my science teacher actually played this for me and my whole class when we were learning about the plague.
she’s only played it once though but everyone still loved it.
