The dance crew at the end are a bunch of befriended gamers/ streamers/ youtubers. One of them, HandOfBlood aka Hänno (dark curly wig, glitter jacket) played the title character in the video for MC Thunder (2017) and reprised his role in MC Thunder II: Dancing Like A Ninja (2020). Both are storytelling videos with the band not appearing (drummer David has a small cameo in the first one). The front guy with the light blond wig is Kalle aka Kalle Koschinsky, he also appeared in MC Thunder II and played the main character in the video for Arrow Of Love (2022), lipsyncing to both Kevin's and Nico's vocals. As a former dance teacher, he choreographed said scene in Hypa Hypa and a dance scene in MC Thunder II, the latter one with actual dancers. In 2021 he dared the EC guys if they could do a song for/ with him in 24 hours. So they Invited him to their studio, wrote, recorded, produced and mixed "Castrop X Spandau" (referring to EC's hometown Castrop-Rauxel and Kalle's residence Spandau which is a borough of Berlin) in one day and recorded a music video the very next day (including another choreographed dance by Kalle and the band). It was the first time for EC to do German lyrics (they had German guest singers prior) released on Kalle's channel with EC credited as "featuring". Turned out to be such a banger that they added it to their live setlist. In September of 2020, the ep MMXX was released, which included Hypa Hypa, the more serious Hate/Love, MC Thunder II and three more songs. In May of 2021, MMXX was re-released as a "Hypa Hypa Edition" wich additionally containes seven (7!) alternative versions of the song by German artists from other genres (some were full covers, some were features, one remix). In this video, which has permanent English subtitles, they explain why those versions exist: ruclips.net/video/fkAjjs-9Rg0/видео.html All the songs are getting teased for a few seconds. German pop singer Sasha (one of the guest voclálists) has a cameo in it.
Your Green Day t-shirt reminded me of the only time I saw the band - in December 1991 in Southampton in Britain at a bar called The Joiner's Arms with about 100 other folks - it was their unofficial launch of Kerplunk! The gig was organised by S.T.E. Collective with whom I was and am still friends with. Hypa Hypa was the first song / video by Electric Callboy (still called Eskimo Callboy at the time) after their previous singer left. The new singer Nico (the shorter of the two singers) largely did the cleans - though he does back up growls too and Kevin did more forfronted growls. This song was released in 2020 and as a result of the pandemic when touring was impractical in Europe at least. The did SEVEN collabs with other bands doing covers of this song and those are worth checking out I particularlly like: Saltatio Mortis (folk metal cover) The BossHoss (country cover) We Butter The Bread With Butter (Comedy Deathcore - in German) Sasha (a "straight" pop song cover set in a roller rink) Axel One (just watcg the video LOL)
Appreciate the lore on the band, they’ve become very prominent on my playlist lately, avoiding songs I haven’t reacted to yet, so I can give genuine reactions to the songs!
@@The-Chaos-Agent There is so much to listen to especially their pre-success material and I class Hypa Hypa as their break through song. It was the first without their original singer and it took off like crazy in the pandemic.
@@The-Chaos-Agent Barclays Center - so you are on the east coast of the US potentially even in New York. The advantage of being old is that you get bragging rights about seeing bands in their early days in some dive bar. I got into Punk in 1980/1 when I went to university. When in Britain they paid you to go to university as well as getting tuition paid. So seeing bands in pokey venues was the norm. In fact in London (about the size of NYC) there were two distinct scenes divided by the River Thames and I was one of the few who went to both sides. Bands would play a N. London concert and a S. London concert and have different audiences. Enough of this old codger rambling on (I am twenty days older than Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat, Fugazi, Dischord Records etc.)
