Foxy Shazam opened with this anthem in New York City last night, the start of a fantastic show! I met Eric on Bleecker Street right before the concert. He’s a very nice guy! More importantly, Foxy Shazam is back! Tell the neighbors.
+TheNotoriousCoin What's ironic about it... the guy is basically saying it is like We Are The Champions, so he's made the Freddie Mercury link already? No biggie though it's just nothing to do with irony my friend.
You guys have no idea how triumphant and victorious I feel when I'm listening to this song while walking my dog down the sidewalk, and I haven't even accomplished anything worthy to this song. Just... This song is beautiful and empowering.
It's late January 2021 and I just now stumbled across this band. I'm a traditional metal head and even I was absolutely stunned by this music. Jaw hit the floor. Wow
In case you all haven't heard, Foxy Shazam as of Halloween morning is on hiatus after being an active rock band for the last 10 years. Whether this means we will ever see them again is questionable to be honest. Foxy Shazam is from Cincinnati, Ohio and has released five albums thus far in their career: "The Flamingo Trigger", "Introducing", "Foxy Shazam", "The Church Of Rock & Roll", and "GON5O". If you're a Foxy fan as I, I'd like to take a moment to thank them for being A) One of the most lively, wildly entertaining, and flamboyant bands in rock history. and B) For being a truly "Unstoppable" "Dangerous, Dangerous" Band that has achieved a great reputation and has been so unique, creating a fun atmosphere in their sound throughout the years as well as in their live shows. Until we all see you again Foxy, "Keep on keeping on." -ChrisPC11
Saw them live this year at The Waiting Room in Omaha, Nebraska, and I'm happy I saw them, especially since I might not ever get the chance again. I cried a little when I heard they broke up, not gonna lie. Great band, great people.
+GuitarWholesale Queen ? I think they have much more in common with Aerosmith and the Cult, except they know it and play with it. They sound very little like Queen IMHO.
Saw them with PATD live yesterday...I thought they were gonna blow...but then I saw them live... one of the BEST preformances I have EVER seen! Completly mind blowing!
Why is Adam Lambert standing in for Freddie Mercury instead of this guy? I mean for fuck's sake, Mercury is scientifically considered the most capable singer in recorded musical history, and this guy puts Lambert to shame.
It took me forever to remember this song. I knew "we're unstoppable" and the rest of the lyrics came to me today Only reason this song stayed with me is because I remember it was for a commerical for Sky High, turned out it was for a showed called Tower Prep which I had forgotten
Yes, definitely! He embodies Mercury in voice, wardrobe and stage presence. It's unfortunate that they chose a pop singer, not a rocker, and cut integral, potentially "controversial" content out of the film.
+Patrick Ciccotosto He doesn't look anything like Freddie Mercury, their facial features are completely different. That's kind of like saying "Rich Uncle Pennybags" looks like Freddie Mercury simply because he has a moustache. :D
YES! Welcome back to Earth Mr. Mercury!! I love Foxy Shazam, may they never stop rocking (cancel the hiatus after you all have your well deserved break!)! ^_^ Eric's voice is BAM!!! ^_^
I love this video. It's so creative and I'm in love with this band. They've changed since the beginning, but they still keep me as one of their major fans. They are what they are, not copying anyone. Plus, his ass is gorgeous.
First ten seconds in the video, and I was already reminded of Queen. That's an automatic like for this song. :D Oh, and dat butt jiggle at the beginning.
Wow! You don't find music like this nowadays. Let's hope they make it bigtime so they can inspire others to make REAL music that requires REAL talent to do so, too! :)
Saw them in a little dive bar in Toledo nearly a decade ago. My first thought was “why are they playing here? This is a great band.” I hope they perform together again and they get their due.
I've been listening to them since 2011. First time hearing them I went to a concert with some friends. Not knowing who Foxy Shazam were. After 1 minute of them rocking out, I fell in love. Then Eric proceeded to put a MOUTHFUL OF LIT cigarettes in his mouth and then starting eating them. Eric jumping on his bandmates shoulders. Singing like a genius maniac. It was an absolute amazing experience. I am glad the boys have since been back from their many year hiatus. At first I did think about the resemblance of Queen and Foxy. But soon I discovered what Foxy Shazam meant. It means Cool Shoes as Eric would put. They became their own thing in my heart since knowing what it meant.
I found the band well after that song! (years). But I didn't come across that song until a good little bit after I knew Foxy Shazam. Not a bad song, I do say.
I saw them at the Tabernacle in Atl when they opened for P!ATD on their 2011 tour. I had no clue who they were but they had the crowd going nuts, their energy on stage was unlike anything I’d ever seen... I’ll never forget during this song the lead singer lit a cigarette, took a drag, then ate it & proceeded to flap his arms like a chicken lol
Thank you thanksgiving parade for letting Macklemore and Eric perform downtown. Thank you to whoever came up with the idea of having Eric featured and thank you Internet for existing or I would have never found this little heaven for my ears 🙏🏻😂
I saw these guys at concert years ago during a world tour. They are highly underrated and put on such a good show i wish these guys wouldve got more clout back than
Jayla Hollie Also, I read somewhere that CN started Tower Prep as a experimental thing to test if viewers (specifically boys) liked live action shows. Around the same time, Adventure Time came out and it was a massive hit. CN then decided to use all their resources on shows like Adventure Time (such as Regular Show) so they canceled Tower Prep Season 2. Makes me cry every time :'(...
...i guess its called CARTOON network for a reason... live action shows never last long examples: hole in the wall, tower prep, incredble crew, thumb wrestling federation etc.
After watching a lot of this band's videos, I feel it's safe to assume that they can move in slow motion at will, and confetti surrounds them ALL THE TIME. I like it.
I know, the make live action shows, all suck but tha, we complain because Cartoon Network should be for cartoons only, and then they cancel the one show that was good.
Wow, it is nice to see a group with energy, talent and the ability to actually entertain. Thumbs up and all that stuff. I will be watching for these guys more.
+Mr. Psychocandy You know, I'd heard some Foxy Shazam before, but that video (and a friend who's a FS fan) got me to listen to them. They're fucking amazing. Eric Nally's got a voice like Freddy Mercury + Steven Tyler and I haven't heard rock and roll this good in a long, long time.
It's still beyond me why this was not a huge hit ,so freaking catchy.
Foxy Shazam opened with this anthem in New York City last night, the start of a fantastic show! I met Eric on Bleecker Street right before the concert. He’s a very nice guy!
More importantly, Foxy Shazam is back! Tell the neighbors.
i know right
21st century version of "We Are the Champions". The song and video are awesome.
Isnt it ironic because a lot of people say he's the Freddy Mercury.
+TheNotoriousCoin What's ironic about it... the guy is basically saying it is like We Are The Champions, so he's made the Freddie Mercury link already? No biggie though it's just nothing to do with irony my friend.
What a random place to run into Viva Frei, Montreal litigator turned Florida Rumbler
Nobody will ever compare to Freddie obviously but this guy JUST WOW. I'm glad he's bringing back Freddie's glamour rock look :)
You guys have no idea how triumphant and victorious I feel when I'm listening to this song while walking my dog down the sidewalk, and I haven't even accomplished anything worthy to this song.
Just... This song is beautiful and empowering.
Here in 2020, we need Foxy Shazam more than ever.
We'll always keep comin back
It's late January 2021 and I just now stumbled across this band. I'm a traditional metal head and even I was absolutely stunned by this music. Jaw hit the floor. Wow
stumbled across this band by nhl slapshot
i saw them in 2010 and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to hundreds of shows. Truly impressive stuff
A lot of metalheads like foxy Shazam
👌 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶
@@julianmarroquin5460 Metalhead here and ADORE them!!!!!
I fell like this is a weird sequel to we are the champions from queen
I think you mean *awesome*. :)
Same
Agreee
Yes EXACTLY
I think you mean prequel.
Foxy Shazam is like a neo-Queen.
So similar, yet so different. Except their first album, that was nothing like queen at all.
mmm... no... more like an American Darkness
This guy has a personality that rock and roll has needed for a long time. Its so flamboyant but its strong and in your face. I love it!
so... seriously, I'm willing to wager that we could power the world off the energy foxy shazam produces daily. dear lord, how do they not explode?
What the fuck....such a good ass song for such a weird ass video
Xxdopelife Speaking of Ass 0:01

+Xxdopelife Its foxy shazam, it wouldn't be right if it was "normal"

So sad..come on guys..let our love bring you back!!
They came back in 2020, yay
Every artist has their influences. I am happy that this group brings back influences that haven't been celebrated in a long time.
He seriously reminds me of Freddy Mercury. Both his looks and his singing. He actually sounds like him! Fantastic.
I feel a Freddy Mercury vibe, and not because of the clothes lol.
I love Fred he was a genius. Freddie*
+GuitarWholesale Queen ? I think they have much more in common with Aerosmith and the Cult, except they know it and play with it. They sound very little like Queen IMHO.
The whole track has a queen sound. Brian May guitar, piano in the background and the general chord structure
Derp. Obvious comment of the decade.
@@kreemecheese6735 yep
Saw them with PATD live yesterday...I thought they were gonna blow...but then I saw them live... one of the BEST preformances I have EVER seen! Completly mind blowing!
Freddie Mercury was quoted as saying he wanted to bring ballet to the masses.... Thank you Foxy Shazam for continuing his wonderful work. Amazing!
Why is Adam Lambert standing in for Freddie Mercury instead of this guy? I mean for fuck's sake, Mercury is scientifically considered the most capable singer in recorded musical history, and this guy puts Lambert to shame.
This is the most underrated band and album of all time, in any universe.
Probably the best low budget music video.
This song is pretty cool, but the video is fucking rad.
+David Mireles yesss
It took me forever to remember this song. I knew "we're unstoppable" and the rest of the lyrics came to me today
Only reason this song stayed with me is because I remember it was for a commerical for Sky High, turned out it was for a showed called Tower Prep which I had forgotten
It doesn't matter how many times I watch this, I still can't get over how clever it is.
One word ladies and gents: ART.
it's people like the ones in this band that restores my faith in the music video.
Clearly, this frontman, this great singer, should've been the one to play Freddie in the Queen film.
Yes, definitely! He embodies Mercury in voice, wardrobe and stage presence. It's unfortunate that they chose a pop singer, not a rocker, and cut integral, potentially "controversial" content out of the film.
This song is criminally underrated
Only thing missing is a face melting guitar solo from Brian May and I'd swear this is a Queen song.
21st centry queen. i literally thought that this was a video from the 80s
Me too!
Same here
+Marbella Young plus he looks like Freddy
+Patrick Ciccotosto He doesn't look anything like Freddie Mercury, their facial features are completely different. That's kind of like saying "Rich Uncle Pennybags" looks like Freddie Mercury simply because he has a moustache. :D
ok :)
YES! Welcome back to Earth Mr. Mercury!! I love Foxy Shazam, may they never stop rocking (cancel the hiatus after you all have your well deserved break!)! ^_^ Eric's voice is BAM!!! ^_^
Who agrees that Foxy Shazam is the most underrated band in the entire world? They and rock and roll GODS
How is this guy not more famous!? He's amazing!! I recently found out he's the one from "downtown"
I love this video. It's so creative and I'm in love with this band. They've changed since the beginning, but they still keep me as one of their major fans. They are what they are, not copying anyone. Plus, his ass is gorgeous.
I keep thinking he's saying "We are Ron Stoppable"
Yeah kinda
It's like Freddy Mercury and Michael Jackson had a baby. Amazing!
Let's leave Michael Jackson out of it. Those mic stand drops and other moves are from James Brown, Motown and good ole' Rock 'n' Rock.
Freddie Mercury died and was reborn in this guy......
This is like their "We Are the Champions." I really like this song.
got to see them in concert anyone knows when
First ten seconds in the video, and I was already reminded of Queen. That's an automatic like for this song. :D
Oh, and dat butt jiggle at the beginning.
The cakey cake 🎂
loved these guys ever since i heard this song in tower prep
Freddy Mercury reborn?
Best song on nhl 11
Amen
Best song in NHL 14 too. Lets gust say best song in all hockey games lul
Andrew I heard it in 2009 on NHL Slapshot
Yes, tied with here I stand
modern day Freddy Mercury. absolutely STUNNING!
Those mic moves are impressive!!
If i tried to do that, Id end up with with a black eye
Wow! You don't find music like this nowadays. Let's hope they make it bigtime so they can inspire others to make REAL music that requires REAL talent to do so, too! :)
I haven't seen an entertainer/musician like this since Queen.
Saw them in a little dive bar in Toledo nearly a decade ago. My first thought was “why are they playing here? This is a great band.” I hope they perform together again and they get their due.
unstoppable=we are the champions, Downtown=uptown funk

Was that at a free concert in St. Pete?
Is anyone here in 2019?! I miss them :(
I didn't know them before 2019, but I love the songs
At least they're back in 2020
I miss them really bad, my dad used to play them in the car on the way to places I really miss those days. But I can still listen to them on my own :)
they're back!
Saw them in concert last november. Best concert EVER.
this band is so cool.... they will be in l.a. in a few weeks and i can't wait to see them!
Anyone else know them before Macklemore's song???? I know of them because of the show "Tower Prep"
I know them from 2011-2012 when a friend was like “dude! I just went to a Concert of a band called ‘Foxxy Shazam’ and you gotta check them out!”
I found the band well after that song! (years).
But I didn't come across that song until a good little bit after I knew Foxy Shazam. Not a bad song, I do say.
Same here. I know them from Tower Prep. That show needs a second season with Foxy Shazam.
I saw them at the Tabernacle in Atl when they opened for P!ATD on their 2011 tour. I had no clue who they were but they had the crowd going nuts, their energy on stage was unlike anything I’d ever seen... I’ll never forget during this song the lead singer lit a cigarette, took a drag, then ate it & proceeded to flap his arms like a chicken lol
NHL 11 :D
***** yep :) me too
***** last decent NHL Game...
One of the best hockey games ever!
2009's NHL Slapshot for the Wii
Yessir!!
Tower Prep R.I.P. Awesome music remember me Queen and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Saw them supporting The Darkness on Sunday. They were bloody brilliant! They played this one with such energy as well!
One of their BEST songs and videos. Bring this sound back. LOVE
I fell in love with his voice on "Downtown " idk why it's mesmerizing
I think it's an awesome video
Thank you Eric Nally for keeping Freddie Mercury alive.
i was stood on the front row right opposite the keyboard player at the birmingham gig, and he is freaking crazy!! xD So much energy!
Thank you thanksgiving parade for letting Macklemore and Eric perform downtown. Thank you to whoever came up with the idea of having Eric featured and thank you Internet for existing or I would have never found this little heaven for my ears 🙏🏻😂
He should be the new front man for Queen
IKR!!!!
I’d love that!!
This song was used in NHL video game???
Yes in NHL 11
That game was the best
"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
STOP SAY THAT!
Yaeco you mean saying you say say not saying
And Nick Nada that doesn’t make sense to just say a random phrase from a movie without a reason to the joke or what your trying to use the phrase for
@@latheradom4148 I think nico is implying that the lead singer bears a resemblance in the video to Inigo Montoya
I saw these guys at concert years ago during a world tour. They are highly underrated and put on such a good show i wish these guys wouldve got more clout back than
Omg! He reminds me of Freddie so much... It's AWESOME!!!
Tower Prep? Anyone?
Miss that show soo much! Too bad Cartoon Network didn't want to make a season 2. Now its too late for it:(
i know. apparently they cancelled it because mostly girls were watching it and not enough boys. thats no reason to stop producing it though! D:

Jayla Hollie I WHATCHED IT!!!
Love the video and the song so much.
This song is in the sims 3 late night. Except, all of the lyrics were translated into gibberish. Cause that's the sims' language -_-
Yup. Lots of bands like Circa Survive did the same thing. They're singing the songs in gibberish, or "simlish" as the game calls it.
Goddamn, I can't get enough of this song. It's just a good, old-fashioned rock anthem. When's the last time we had one of those?
After watching a lot of this band's videos, I feel it's safe to assume that they can move in slow motion at will, and confetti surrounds them ALL THE TIME. I like it.
This video deserves so much more views man, such a good song and video
I remember this song from the show Tower prep c:
same that was a really good show
***** I hated that live shows were on CN, but I really liked Tower Prep.
I know, the make live action shows, all suck but tha, we complain because Cartoon Network should be for cartoons only, and then they cancel the one show that was good.
NHL Slapshot brought me here.
me too
Big, loud, sweet, arena rock! Finally. "I Like It" really rocks too-Good stuff.
They are absolutly fantastic live! They deffinatly put on one hell of a great show! I would love to see Foxy Shazam again!
am I crazy or was this on a cartoon network ad?
Yes for Tower Prep
you can see the people moving in the background.
Tower Prep brought me here, the music made me stay.
seriously talented singer... and amazing dancer
I feel like these guys would have been HUGE in the 70's or 80's
Ready for all the other people to come looking for Eric Nally after the Macklemore song
+SteelersK36 *shakes fist at the sky that this band has broken up just as I have heard of them*
+Lucy Foster They didn't break up they just went on hiatus :)

Vote up if Macklemore's Downtown lead you here.

+Sadman Chowdhury Exactly why I'm here omg
Yes
I still watch it now and then
I still cant get enough of you guys. Unstoppable is my new anthem. I met you all in Knoxville, TN after the show.
Few words can describe how much I freaking love this band.
:O
You’re here? Haha
NHL 11 :P
This reminds me of rocky horror
I was thinking that too XD
I loooooooove this music, i love this band !
I'm Brazilian fan ! ♥
I have listened to this song during so many of the giants games, including last night...and WE"RE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL! thanks for the lucky song!
