I actually scared my husband because as soon as I saw this I screamed "HE FINALLY DID IIIIIIT!!!!!!!" and proceeded to play this on repeat, full blast. My childhood thanks you, sir lol
When this popped up in my feed I was like "Ok he's good but it takes some HUGE balls to step to Tim Curry" But I do believe you've pulled it off you crazy talented man.
Both versions, cover and original say egg chow mein. The movie this came from actually has pollution sludge take form of egg chow mein noodle when the character sings that specific part of the song. Imagine those health-food charcoal noodles or culinary-art squid ink noodles (which are both a thing), but unhealthy pollution instead of healthy edibles.
oh man, Hexxus/tim Curry did NOT have to go that hard in FernGully but he DID. I love how you sang this! Tim's version goes super sensual and tempting (because that's how he markets pollution) but i love that you're a little more unhinged... if that's not a weird and offensive description. Love your work Johnathan!
Tim's version is pollution before it gets bad, how the big companies show it off as. Jon's version is when pollution gets out of hand and is revealed for what it really is.
@@c.w.crawley6668 Tim was when the water in the gutter is rainbow colored and smells funny. Jonathan is when you can actually see the sludge on the ground and the clouds are too dark.
More villain songs, dude. You're really showing off what you can do when you get into these villain roles. Might I suggest World's Greatest Criminal Mind from Great Mouse Detective?
I showed this to my father as he use to sing along to this song every time I watched the movie as a kid. Both he and I love how you can go from 0 to 1000 in a millisecond, especially at 0:12
Gosh darn it. I was just listening to this song earlier today and I thought "Y'know, I'm surprised Jonathan or Caleb haven't done a cover of this song. Either of them would sound really good on it." A couple of hours later and there's a new cover...... Toxic !@#$%^& Love. I guess someone read my mind. Keep up the good work Mr. Young.
Dude. Ferngully was my favorite movie as a kid, this was my favorite song (The Batty Rap was a close second 😋😆) & it was also my introduction to Tim Curry. He's got a bit a of a Tim sound in some places which is hard to do. Good job for real.
It is three am and I am literally biting my blanket so my neighbors don't hear me screaming at the top of my lungs - HO W DARE YOU SING MY GUILTY PLEASURE SONG SO WELL @$*#&(* BOY GET IT. *SNAPS FINGERS* Seriously, I literally had chills when you hit that note at 00:10.
I know that in internet standards this will never get viewed, but can we please give it up for Jonathan when he gives into his inner sass and just flows with it.
I swear, when it comes to making intense, strong, catchy and amazing rock covers of our childhood shows and movies you are the best!, you never disappoint!❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸
I just discovered this channel... and oh my god it's incredible. I was wondering if you'd consider doing "Make it mine" from Elmo in Grouchland. I think it's actually a pretty good song but could use a darker and more villainous version. ;^)
Dude!! This is fantastic. I always loved these songs, yet your renditions always make me love them more. I legit couldn't be happier with this cover. Bravo Jonathan!!
I don't know if you're still doing these types of covers, but if you've ever seen "The Pebble and The Penguin" then your voice and style was made for the song "Don't Make Me Laugh." It would be so epic to hear you sing that song!
Kinda disappointed we didnt get the “special kind of horny” version (thats the lyrics of the full version, dont you @ me swear on me mum) but hey, this was pretty sweet too!
HOLY GODS I LOVE THIS MOVIE! It took a few years but I FOUND my favorite childhood song all over again. I’ve always loved villains since my earliest memories, and with Jonathan singing-pure euphoria.
You didn't do a bad rendition and actually made me want to watch the original film again, alas gone with many other VHS but recycled likely as I was super eco conscious even as a boy.
You may not be Tim Curry, but this is still an awesome cover of this song. You should do the extended version sometime though, that'd be the best thing ever :D
I like that, for your cover of this song, you threw the "sexual" and suggestive aspects out the window and made this befittingly dark, violent, and angry for the spirit of destruction it was written for in the first place. I like that you kept the momentary taunting undertones for some of the lines - while, again, having eradicated suggestive filler.
i just listen to this and have a stage production in my head. like the song starts and then the actor comes out in very complex outfit. when he sings the part about greedy humans he points at the audience. then runs up a ladder to the prop machine when when he sings " and look at this beautiful machine they provided.' he is then replaced by a puppet for the rest of the show. when the song ends to show the huge smog hexxus comping out of the leveler.
I actually scared my husband because as soon as I saw this I screamed "HE FINALLY DID IIIIIIT!!!!!!!" and proceeded to play this on repeat, full blast. My childhood thanks you, sir lol

Commenting so you can be reminded and listen again if you want. I also freaked out when seeing this. 😆

i love both versions and i adore jonathan... but no one can even COMPARE to Tim Curry...
I'd disagree, but not a bad version
1:45 Never thought I'd hear someone make the words "egg chow mein" sound so sinister
I thought he said "Ash on me"

You make pollution sound like an actual force of evil summoned from the depths of hell.
THATS RATHER NICE.
How does this have no replies except mine?
@@anonguy772 Sometimes a reply just doesn't do a post justice.
@@angrytheclown801 A very true point
Even though Pollution comes from something much worse... people.
That was literally.
He even sounds like Tim Curry when he says, “That’s rather nice.”
Can't beat Tom curry
@@danieldineen8791 bruh
I was about to post exactly the same.
I really would love to hear Jonathan do a metal cover of rocky horror picture show
@@hathus5536 he's a sweet transvestite from sensational Transylvania
When you think about it, hexxus was freaking terrifying.
A modern day demon. He was perfect for what he was portraying.
Hexxus is the true face of Humanity's destructive nature.
and also kinda sexy
Giacomo Guarnieri cause remember the corporate scumbags make hurting the enviroment good
His final form looked like an edgy metal band demon, I love it!
Jonathan could sing “what a wonderful world” and make you feel like you need to bathe in holy water.
Now I want to hear him sing that.
I feel like this version would have had legit terrifying imagery behind it.
Do "Terror Time" from Scooby Doo on Zombie Island...PLEASE!!!
Please
helllllllllllllllll yes !!!!
hell yeah!
HE DID 😃
@@ashleythetrashley1726 I know. That comment was from 2 years ago.
My best friend: “You remember Toxic Love from Fern Gully?”
Me: **immediately screams** “OH MY FREAKIN GOD JONATHAN YOUNG DID ONE??? Gimme!”
You should try singing "come little children" as a metal song. Id love to see what your style and skill as an artist makes of that song!
coralovely 0 ooooh! A beautiful some with a delightfully Johnathon twist.
Omg yes please
I second this

Yessssssss!
Yes!!!! Please?
Yes! THat would be awesome!
Wow, I haven't heard the name "Ferngully" in years. Thanks for rejuvinating a forgotten part of my childhood once more!
This is disturbingly sexy... I loved this when I was 8 and was terrified of hexxus and now all of a sudden I wanna take it to bed?
You'll definitely want to wear some kind of suit for that.
Otherwise he'll melt out the neurons needed for sexual pleasure.
Same though.
Me too
This was the best fucking comment I have read on this site ever.
😇😆
I actually think the way his voice keeps changing between soft and hard matches Hexxus who was always undulating and changing shape.
So have you applied for becoming the next Disney villain yet?
All he needs is a henchman and majic powers
Caleb hyles will be the sidekick
@@Rogue.Rainbow More like the hero.
Obviously, you need to do his song from Rocky Horror now.
Oh hell YES
Take Walker Yes.. he should do it
Okay I'm a trans woman and I totally agree. Pleeeeeease do Sweet Transvestite
Him and Caleb need to do the whole soundtrack.
YES👏👏👏
Well, you've done a Tim Curry song here... so you should round it out with Sweet Transvestite.
IT'S TOUGH TO BE A GOD - EL DORADO!
Jon and Caleb Hyles did that recently I think
He did it
I am legit geeking out ferngully IS my childhood! Tysm for doing this!!!
Sacred Ravens Studios Same!!
same!
You should do a rock/metal version of terror time from the old movie Scooby doo on zombie island
Absolutely!!!
Please please please do this !!!
Timothy Oney OMG YES!! I love that song!
!!!!!!
I DIDNT REALIZE HOW MUCH I NEEDED THIS UNTIL NOW
Well, then, looks like you've ticked off another 'villain song' box. Excellent work, sir!

AAAAAAAA I'M THE CRAZY GIRL WHO HAD ASKED FOR THIS COVER IN EVERY DAMN VIDEO. THANK YOU.
Many thanks to you!
More thanks to you and very nice taste
Thank god it wasn’t just me pestering him each video for the last year ha ha.
Olly smith 😂😂 knowing I wasn't the only one makes me feel so much better!
Mundo de Lectura thanks
Man I remember being a kid and being absolutely terrified of Hexxus while doubling down on having crush on his voice
Keep coming back to this one. It's the most perfect fit for Jonathan outside of Scar.
How delicious.
OMG you did it. I requested this one long time ago. Amazing as always😋
I requested it at least twice on every video.
me too
Me too!
Same requested it not too long ago

Do songs from Quest for Camelot!!!! THOSE VILLAIN SONGS ARE AWESOME DX
watching Caleb and Jonathon singing if i didn't have you would be hilarious
YES!!!! HE DID IT !!! HE DID IT !!!!!
I lowkey have always loved villain's songs more than hero's.
Could you do Feed Me from Little Shop of Horrors?
malphone Ooh, or maybe Mean Green Mother
Or "Suppertime!"
Mean Green Mother. PLEASE
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Hi, Jon! I was just wondering are you planning on covering "You're Only Second Rate" from The Return Of Jafar?
Katie Elizabeth ooooh!!! Now that is a thought.
THIS THIS THIIIISSSAS
Nah, it would be better for him do Jafar's reprise of Prince Ali, ya know when he shoots aladdin off like a golf ball LoL
Yeah that would be so awesome

There's a full version of the song for 4 minuties btw
the smexy one?
Mr. Sserpent I love that one 😄 it's so much sexier 😉👌 lol
Where?
Maria Khristinina well look around it's youtube just look for it
I rewatched Fern Gully on vhs 100's of times. Love your version of this song, so fitting!
You should consider giving "Quest for Camelot" a go. Think about it Johnny Boy, it could be surprising. Ponder on that for a bit, will ya?
I Stand Alone would be awesome!!
Or any of the soundtracks, really.
It's a shame that the villain song from that movie isn't even really a song.
You really think so? That's neat. Thanks! :)
But if Jonathan and Caleb Hyles were to sing "If I didn't have you", that'd be pretty off the hook.
YES! IF I DIDN'T HAVE YOU!!!!
I know that in internet standards this will never get viewed, but can we please give it up for Jonathan when he gives into his inner sass and just flows with it.
DEAR LORDY!!!! As Usual, The Edge Level GOES THROUGH THE ROOF!!!!!! Amazing Job Jonathan!
You’re the best Jonathan! That voice though!

I was terrified of that villain when I was young. But your song freaking rocks!
Your cover just leaped out of the screen and kicked My head off it's shoulders... thank You Sir.
Jonathan Young back at it again being the best unofficial animated villain singer
Damn, those sexy Tim Curry vibes didn't go filtered here.
AMAZING JOB
WOAH FINALLY! HE HAS HEARD OUR DEMAND
Not seen this but the song and lighting in this video is awesome !
Ferngully is an awesome film (Robin Williams as Batty is hilarious ☺️) x
Ellie Cudmore need to see that then haha
I liked all of Jonathon's Videos before now, but this one.... I now LOVE everything that Jonathon does!!!
How am I only now finding out about this cover? Absolutely nailed it! And considering how much I love the original, that's saying something.
I was so ready for the heavy breathing. I had no time to prepare myself for the laughing.

Growing up with Tim Curry definitely caused a couple nightmares. This song was no exception. Loved it. Mad respect.

FREAKIN AMAZING i love this song
Did not think this song would ever get a cover. Quite fitting and well done.
Omg I loved this movie as a kid! It's so nice to see someone bringing it back through song :3
You can tell a lot about someone by what they know Tim Curry from.
What if i know him from all the obvious choices?
Home alone 2.
My family is boring.
Ferngully, Rocky Horror, Home Alone 2, and that one video game where he was escaping capitalism in space

Can you get some your singers, and do a metal cover of “We’re despicable” from “Mr.Magoo’s Christmas Carol?” It would be a great Yuletide performance!

You obviously have no taste if you think there isn’t a small sexual undertones still left in there, man. Though I do otherwise agree

he is then replaced by a puppet for the rest of the show. when the song ends to show the huge smog hexxus comping out of the leveler.
