Hi there, my name is Leo and run a studio on the westside of Norway where I do music and video stuff for youtube. I also have a band called Frog Leap, where we do my metal covers live.
For my covers I play everything myself as well as record, mix, master, shoot and edit the music & videos.
Disco Robot Metal! What do you wanna hear next? Let me know in the comments:)
How about some actual metal for metal covers? 🤔
🤘🏻🤣
Space Oddity by David Bowie
Hey Leo, make a collaboration with Lauren Babic.
The moment when people expect you to scream something..... and then the beautiful woman opens her mouth - priceless
I'd love to hear something by the Hives! 😍
3 things in life are certain:
1, We are born.
2, We will die.
3, Leo will add an epic solo to a song.
Leo's solos are damn epic.
Need to add #4 adding more cowbell makes any song better
Funky Town and death don't mix very well.
This guy is just having so much fun in every single one of his videos it's absolutely fantastic, thank you for making my day better!
The younger generation does not understand the music from the past and you, without a doubt bring it out perfectly. Thank you.
Even though it was a departure from his normal rotation of Beach Boys, Lynard Skynard and an occasional Peter Gabriel tune, my late father loved this song. I have vivid memories of him putting this LP on the Pioneer Hi-Fi in our living room. You just put a huge smile on my face Leo!
Looks like he had more fun than usual making this one. Love this version!
I don´t request anything - I just enjoy this masterpiece...
I've never been to Norway, but it's safe to assume that Leo's face is printed on the money there right?
Let's hope so.
It should, but not yet 🥺
hope don't let us down
Actually.. He's not so very known here.. Sad but true 😔
@@KimVonKonk That is sad. You'd think with as obviously talented as he is that he'd a been touring with some big band by now or even his own.
I didn't realize I needed this today.
Thank you.
I'm glad you're having so much fun with these covers
Well. I've been battling a nasty downward spiral that started yesterday. And the, today my man Leo drops just this high energy ccover this sill, nonsensical, yet catchy song. Factor his style and sense of humor...the spiral is starting to reverse course. Thanks for this one. I REALLY needed it.
Same here Peter, I only hope Leo knows how much joy he spreads with his music, and how much we all love him 😁
Keep listening mate, I hope you feel better soon
Yeah mate, from a random bloke in France, take care. Listening to really good silly stuff always helps!
"Ditto" on that! Made my day so much better! 🌈
I never would have dreamed that I could make it all the way through Funkytown, much less headbanging with it 🥴.
And... FYI, LOVED LOVED LOVED Disco Inferno!
Keep on rockin' 👩🎤
Leo is such a goober sometimes, and I love it!
Really knows his stuff, though.
That was a perfect outro, too!
This is the treatment Funkytown always deserved! Brilliant.
"That's it! That's the melody to Funkytown!"
-Towelie
i really wasn’t sold at all; and then we all went to metal town and i couldn’t help it. my soul knew what it needed
Katrina and the Waves - Walking on Sunshine. That'd be cool.
I asked for this song months ago. Peace
It would guaranteed be better than the original
Sorry, let me pick my jaw up off the floor. That was one of the best metal covers I've ever heard! The style, the sound, editing, that was an experience man!
Did Leo just invent Metal Disco? Also, he was rocking so hard he had to hold down the cowbells!
Nope, Windrose beat him to it by like 3 weeks.
Although they did come at it from the other direction, they took one of their Metal songs and made a Disco version of it.
@@VME-Brad no no no that is disco metal... leo has made metal disco
@@VME-Brad I think that would be Disco Metal then.
Pretty sure White Zombie did that in 1992 with La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume One
, but this was no forgettable moment, either.
Devin Townsend also did it last year
Way to Jam that groovy 70's vibe! Love it!
Leo, you're a friggin' riot man. Great cover with great humor. One of the reasons I like "The Darkness", great sense of humor!
Literally everything you touch is gold!!! Thanks Leo
This is beautiful, truly a masterpiece.
Funky Metal - a brilliant new genre (and one of the best videos in a long time).
I would like to request Billy Idol "Rebel Yell", Rick Springfield "Jessie's Girl", or a Journey song from back in the day in your style.
@joseph ka Skydaddy isnt real. get over it
@@MrSirclint if that's true then there's no need to comment. Have a control issue? Let people live their own life.
Anything by Journey would be great!
Children of Bodom have a good cover of rebel yell.
@@Carolinablue78JS lmfao. When your shitty belief effects how other can live their lives. Yeah I have a control issue but it isn't the way you are saying it.
I've been binge "watching" your videos lately, there is something about your voice and the feeling you put into the songs that take them to a whole new level of awesome music. I hope you are proud of what you do!
I haven't really heard this in years as always my man, good one.....
It's at least played once every week in the radio.... you lucky you
Olo. Uferbercogbetakek shoosenupeople?.
I had forgotten how little there was to the original song until I downloaded it awhile back. It's like a ringtone that shouldn't be turned into a full song. Unless you're the kind of guy that can make Wheels on the Bus metal, anyway.
Must have directions to Leo's funky town -- and more cow bell 🤣. Once again you killed it Leo
Goosebumps at every begining: "frog leap studios"
Yes!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
YeS
Can we all acknowledge how great this video and version of the original song is? The humor and mix makes you forget all the troubles our new reality is even if its for a few minutes.
Up your Meme game and do Rick Astley - Never gonna give you up
already did 6 years ago 9 million views!! check it out🤘
Already did it haha. If you think he should do it, hes probably done it.
I've always wanted to see that

@@theeaglegaming ruclips.net/video/1_Z5q152GSQ/видео.html
Thanks for the heartwarming funkmetal beats from your inner funkmetalhead!
They make me happy in these dark times!
Someone had a LOT of fun with this song, 10/10 green screen.
I never knew I needed a new genre but funk metal needs to be a thing
Just rewatched this on my 4k tv and it's even better. Gives it a 3D effect
Not the cover we expected but definitly the cover we needed.
Everytime i listen to this, i can't stop thinking about Brian Cranston and his roller skates in Malcolm in the middle.
Tellement vrai !
That would be a great montage 😁👍.
Top Show!!
Never could've forseen him as Mr. White back in the day. As a matter of fact that's how i refer to him now anyway. Mr. White 👍
@@c.c.manbattleborn8951 What an actor, what a show!!
She blinded me with science! I'd love to hear your take!!
Ok I'll say it "needs more cowbell" I'll get my coat.
Things are always better with some good cowbell! 😂😂
Leo is just like us - he puts his pants on 1 leg at a time. Except, once his pants are on, he makes gold records.
... and don't return until you have more cowbells!
Jimmy Lee everything you said I said on my wedding night 28 years ago when I saw my new wife undress
Came to the comments looking for this. Did not disappoint.
Back to the 80`s.It was a very loving song of mine.
You are the hero we need in these dark times.
I've got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell....
YESSSSSSSSSS!!
Dude..... yes... do the blue oyster cult dont fear the reaper....
This was friggin' awesome, including the outro
Bon Jovi “Wanted Dead or Alive”
Supertramp “Breakfast in America”
Bruce Springsteen “Born To Run”
Breakfast in America is an awesome idea!
He's got to do some Bon Jovi.
I second the "Wanted Dead or Alive".
Up
Pretty sure he's done dead or alive already 🤔
Thank you Leo everyone in the states needed this. Keep up the awesomeness
I had a fever, there was only one cure, thankfully this song had plenty of cow bell to cure me. 🤘🤪🤘
Young man you made this song come out from the past perfectly thank you
Groovy, especially the outro. Please do B52’s Rock Lobster 🦞
The outro has a Midnight Star feel to it. I like it.
B-52s Yes! *There goes a narwhal!!!* eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Love Shack is more his territory!
The fact that this is a new upload makes it better
Friday I’m In Love - The Cure
Whip It - Devo
Physical - Olivia Newton-John
Whip It would be awesome!
Whip It would be a fine addition to the portfolio 🤘
Great suggestions!
Please not the third... oh wait, music makes everything better. Nevermind.
Olivia newton John's music in the 80's was pitiful. Especially that song, disgusting video 🤮
Excellent!! You can tell he's having fun!
I see how it is. When Leo wears foil on his head, it's cool, but when I do it, I'm "crazy"...
Correct.
Crazy is good. Yes. Very good. Me likes to bang me head to funky town METAL style.
Are singing the Metal version of it? It makes a difference.
The perfect tonic for a drab day... thanks Leo!!
Leo a great cover... as always :D
please do us one favor and go for " Major Tom-Völlig losgelöst " . Your " 99 Luftballons " by Nena was awesome so we need this song too.
No one makes metal more fun than Leo does!
Lmao, “it’s time for metal town.” Sick cover as usual!
I Agree 100%
Once again you didn't raise the bar as much as blow it out of the atmosphere! Not only is it obvious you have tons of fun making these covers/videos for us to enjoy, but you do them so freaken well we cannot help but smile every time you show up in our feeds. Thank you good sir.
каждую пятницу новый видос!, просто праздник какой-то
Оу Есс!)
Ей, слОвяне с нами
Been listening to you for over 4 years my boy loves your music and has since he was a baby. Get going!!!
Now we know where Leo's house is located.
You dislike my v*deos? Are you just a h8er boi? I say see you l8er boi. Don't watch my stuff anymore. Your dislikes are damaging my good reputation. I am a superstar, dear mick
Down the road at the love shack!
In "Funky Town"?
@@glendeveau4056 In Metal town!!
@@AxxLAfriku anyone who calls himself a superstar and isn't known just thinks too much of themselves. Let your content speak for itself
You’ve done it again. You turned an old crusty song into a masterpiece.
FANTASTIC
Very very nice. I'll put in my weekly request for "Barracuda" by Heart w/Hannah on vocals or Mary or both lol and add "Turn Up The Radio" by Autograph w/ Rabea
I second both these suggestions. 😱
Dude this is sick you can tell he enjoys every bit
Dude.... got the next one. You must do Sly Fox - "Let's Go All The Way" +!!! I can already hear it in my head.
Leo always brings a smile to my face
It is to late for the tin foil helmet Mr. Moracchioli. The alien radio waves have invaded your brain with their strange ideas for covering music....Thankfully you are sharing their concepts with the rest of us! Excellent video, loved when you lost the wig.
it’s the middle ages version of a tip foil hat
It's the tape that makes it special though. That's kwality craftsmanship
I wasn’t feeling this at first. But by the end I was ALL in. Metal Town bridge was Awesome! Video edit had me smiling. Great Job 👍👍🤘🏿🤘🏿
Leo has adopted Rabea’s hair.
*Rabea has adopted leos face
*Borrowed
My therapist: "Raleo isn't real, he can't hurt you"
This video:
No one else think in Twelve Foot Ninja!?
@@Echo-57, Well Clarice, have the lambs stopped screaming?
This man is living the metal dream.
THIS is why you need to cover "The Neutron Dance."
Ive never seen Leo moracchioli this happy while doing a video
ZZ Top "La Grange"
Barenaked Ladies "One Week"
LaGrange for sure!
I agree with La Grange but hes already done Wild Cherry Play That Funky Music its an acoustic cover
@@mattcollins1603 crap... forgot about that. Thanks
@@chrisdawes1245 no problem but I would say that an actual metal version that doesn't involve an acoustic but heavy distortion played on Dimes guitar
LaGrange! Add my vote
More 60s, 70s and disco covers. This was great:)
Gratitude for the good music
The Song Alf wrote for Lynn: You're the one whos out of this world. I mean it was Season1 Episode 07.
That truly brought joy to my heart. Thank you Leo. Keep doing you dude.
Suggestions : Queen of hearts, Eye in the Sky, One night in Bangkok.
I’d say any stones metallisation would be just too good as everyone has just found them! Doing videos and listening to the words. Your Paint it black is my fav so far so gimme shelter is iconic and needs your craft. Brown sugar would be so good. Stray cat blues would be a risk. So many to choose from?...
msan you must steady grind on these videos. people dont realize the editing skill and effort put into just the video, not just the talent side, takes a ton of time and attention to detail, bravo sir
What about covering another metal song but in another style this would be epic
That was solid gold! Thanks for what you do Leo 🤘
My brain when I want to sleep be like :
ADHD?
I can relate
Daaaaaamn Leo you've got some funky moves!!!
Always great covers!
Requests:
The Time - Jungle Love
After the Fire - Der Kommissar
L7 - Pretend We're Dead
Tim Jones - She's a Lady
Poison - Look What the Cat Dragged In
Thanks for sharing your talent!
Every song you put out I wait for the breakdown. I may not dig the original style of most these songs, but you never fail to entertain.
Got me moving my feets
It's like wasp in my brain and I love it!
King of the 1 man bands!
This is how I think a acid trip would be like
Leo could goof ass improvise, dance around in a costume and it is still 10/10.
Love it.l brother! Just stumbled on your channel looking for new metal, i believe ive found it!!!! You do old school rap metal covers? How about regulators by Dr Dre,Snoop Dog, Nate Dogg etc.! 👊👌
Metal and Disco I'd always a great combination!
Escape (pina colada song) by Rupert Holmes
Yes.
U ooze with badassery!! Keep em coming PLZ!!! Love is a battlefield!
foreigner i want to know what love is Please❤😔
Epic dance moves, Leo. You're the man 😀
Хорошие переделки "zombie" и "simple of the best"..... Было бы круто в такой же форме 👍
Я согласен
Точно, камрад! В последнее время что-то годноту надо выискивать. А поначалу всё не то, что заходило нормально - залетало, блин!!
at 8 a.m. I switched on my computer. It's 9:15. I forgot for what for. I do not even remember how I found this dude. I love his work... I never knew that I always did, until today. No time,... must watch more videos.
I would love to hear u do “dead man’s party” by oingo boingo
Brilliant!
Fair winds and following seas to all.
Seeing this, I'm hereby requesting a cover version of Major Tom but in Gale's version from Breaking Bad!
This looked like you had an incredibly fun time playing
Black eyed peas - I gotta a feeling
Im sure it could be a good choise for next song :)
ONE OF THE BEST COVER YOU HAVE EVER MADE DUDE! OMFG
