It is a rare treasure, finding a cover song that actually manages to surpass the original. Hurra Torpedo unearths and brings to light the hidden layers of meaning and significance only hinted at in Bonnie Tyler's version. A song for the ages: we are lucky enough even to be able to say yes, to say that we were there, to bear witness to Hurra Torpedo.
This was on an extremely popular Norwegian tv-show in ca 1995, I still remember sitting paralyzed in front of the tv watching this song - the first time it was broadcastet
An absolute classic, I listened to it 10-15 years ago and thought it must have at least 400 million views. With my friends we have watched it at least 30 times, back in the days :D.
I had the pleasure of meeting the band in Athens Georgia in the fall of 2005. Ever since I show my friends one of their perfect renditions of Total Eclipse and kitchen appliance destruction. Everyone gained a new found appreciation of appliance bashing accompanied with great music. Glad to see you are still slamming doors and hammering stove tops.
We're currently in the times of CoVid-19 and the quarantine is f*cking depressing, but Hurra Torpedo just made it 20 times better. Thanks, you beautiful weirdos.
@@TheoMurpse When they are lifting something heavy over their heads and slamming it down with very specific timing? Sure they do. Dude is more concerned with making sure he's doing his part correctly than being concerned if his clothing is on properly. That's an artist. Also, he's not the only person in the song wearing a tracksuit, so it's odd that that's how you interpreted that.
I actually had to study this in college. "Rock and Roll Appreciation and History", with Prof. Moskowitz, who was not only a great teacher but also genuinely one of the best people I've ever met.
That was the very first youtube video what I ever seen. It's 2020 and it's still amazing 😊 Now I can understand the lyrics! Thats what 14 years can do if the time well spent.
I spent almost 20 years to find that song I hear during my studies. Never forget, still in my head and ears, that most full filled cover version. And today I found it! Drumer live for that moment 🙏
Drummers name is Kristopher Schau. Love that guy, done a lot of things after this like tv shows, podcasts and music. He is currently in the band The Dogs.
I over heard a conversation today "whats that bangin tune you were on about?". I instantly thought of this even though I haven't thought of this for probably over a decade.
Do they travel with their instruments? Like, do they load those busted kitchen appliances into their tour bus or do they just hit up whichever dump is closest before each performance?
they go shopping or at festivals they get it fixed for them, they refused to walk on stage at a festival cause the festival people had put a microwave on stage and the band said we play rock, not techno =)
I saw this performance like 20+ years ago, a time long before RUclips and even before MySpace was a thing. I was surfing some sites with hilarious stuff as I needed some laughs. I found a ton of stuff, without any ads! Can you believe that? And I found this cover, too. And I had my laughs. Now it's the month of August in 2022. I saw a video about a strange and really nice female inventor about weird robots chopping vegetables and then a giant robot chopping an oven. I remembered something. It was a song sung by Bonnie Tyler and I got a lot of memories as pictures in my mind, but was unable to "write" these into the search. But I tried her name and it revealed the next clue: Total Eclipse Of The Heart. However, I needed to add something into RUclipss search, as I found a TON of stuff, but nothing similar to what I was looking for. But 'oven' did the trick for me. I just added the oven to my search and I found it! I found this video. The circle is closed. And I had my laughs, again. Dopamine over 9000!!! 😄 If RUclips still exists 20 years from now, as well as earth: Greetings from the past!
Just discovered this in 2024, it has aged well
I saw it for the first time around 15 or 16 years ago.
Can confirm lol
I think you meant Ageless, it will never NOT be relevant.
What do you think of this?
ruclips.net/video/ZcQMTV2Tj2M/видео.htmlsi=N_0GUxhCdBNF9-jc
So you're a musician, which instrument do you play?
-Oh I play the freezer and the dishwasher.
“With my ass hanging halfway out”
Well I place the stove.
😂😂😂
And they’re fantastic at it.
I'm rather now into learning the Sledgestove.

LOL good one. This must be a joke, right?
Hurra!
I like to imagine this guy has gone on to an illustrious career as a record executive
Even Live a couple of times, including the infamous Duplexfestivalen (I think it was Duplex 1994, taking place in 1996 or something)
How can this not be the most viewed video on RUclips.
I've watched it so many time.. I'm still in tears every single time.
Best cover ever!
The guy next to the stove: "Wait for it..." Laughing my ass off about him standing ready waiting for so long for the first hit. HAHA!
I'm here now, don't worry, it's the most viewed video. Numbers mean nothing. I watched it really hard, like, super watching.
Basically, it's a still go-to version for me, 17 years later. Just heard original on the radio and had to listen this (proper) version again.
@@alanmalcheski8882 How do you watch something "really hard"? As an American, you sound like a real dipshit.
@@alanmalcheski8882 Yeah you LOOK like a "super-watcher". Fucking creep. Most viewed video of a fucking creep. Fuck you, you fucking loser.
This was one of the first RUclips clips I ever saw and I’m happy to come back to it year after year.
It really was one of the first RUclips clips of all time.

I can't believe I've been watching this video for approx. 18 years on RUclips. How?!?
I ve still watching this video after 13 years :)
And every time is better n' better :D
I here ya! This is genius!
What happened 13 years ago? Did this have a revival of sorts?
what a timeless classic. pure art!
that dude totally knows how to rock the fuck out of an appliance ...
if you were a rock critic, I would follow your posts.
Love this singers voice, makes the song come alive
Egil Hegerberg 😎👍

simply the best version of song. will always come back here
The guy smashing the stove...oh my God. He's the best thing ever.
this is some serious heavy metal
When you're looking for an emotinal song, but not TOO emotional.
This might be the most amazing thing on RUclips
it is most definitely not
@@magg93 fuck off :D
Still watching this in 2019. \o/
indeed!
hopefully in 2020 as well
@@JoseFernandoCaparicaJr yepp
2020. here alright...
I'm waiting for them to go on tour again!
We're currently in the times of CoVid-19 and the quarantine is f*cking depressing, but Hurra Torpedo just made it 20 times better. Thanks, you beautiful weirdos.
I think it is hysterical how serious the Lead singer is trying to be,regardless of the way they are dressed and the instruments being used. love it
Norwegians wearing track suits are not an uncommon thing. Go to Europe sometime.
@@boatridecharmdo they wear track suits with their asses hanging out like in this video? That's what he was talking about.

This may be my favorite cover -- ever! What an amazing performance!

Ive never heard such a talented stove player!
Favorite cover of all time, and after hundreds of listens... this is the first time I've heard "kowder peg" had to go back and double check.
That would be a good name for a band
Seeing them live is awesome!
How did I end up here ??
i come here every once in a while
This...is...phenomenal
absolutely refuses to get old
Thank you for being the best thing on the internet.
Hurra Torpedo - I love you since the first time I saw you till forever!!!!
Лучшее исполнение этой песни
Like an eclipse, this video is something I'd hope everyone gets to experience in its full glory at least once in their life.
This is brilliant. Got me through the darkest day in my life so far. Thank you!!!!!!
Thirteen and a half years later and this still cracks me up.
a true masterpiece

I'm so baked right now and this is so good omg.
yes dude yes
omg same yeaaaah
Feel ya dude
Lol
This was the most viral video I can think of from 15 years ago. This should have millions of more likes!
Does anyone have the electric hob tab for this?
Still watching this 25 years later!
They're a brilliant live band.
Hello from 2022. Still one of the best covers!!!
Makes me smile every time :)
After many years, this holds up so well.
AHHHH i think this just cured my depression
Gives the original all the respect it deserves. Just wonderful. ❤
If Animal was a human, he'd be those two percussionists.
I don't know why they're doing it, and i don't even know what they're doing. i'm just glad they do.
Best.drum.set.ever
Thanks, Tom Scott. 😀😀
That sweet love makin music
I over heard a conversation today "whats that bangin tune you were on about?". I instantly thought of this even though I haven't thought of this for probably over a decade.
anyone in 2020?:D
Only thing getting me through tbh
I will always love it!
yep
Yup. After 2020 I am thinking we deserve these guys as POTUS, as a trio, running the country.
Yeah I was rewatching a bunch of Adam Sandler movies and the scene in Wedding Singer with this song reminded me of this video
I found this video on an old computer harddrive from June 2005 (.mpg file so at least it still played!) and am unsurprised that it's here, too. :)
Anybody in 2022 still here? 😂🤙
Also in 2021. It didn’t take too much time from this year, and I already wished for it.
not gonna lie, that guy clicking the doors makes for a cool visual
Ever since the big eclipse news hit, this has been running through my head.
Ударник прекрасен :)
Да! Согласна! Он шедеврален!И вообще - это просто праздник какой-то!
Который из них?
definately one of the best clips I've ever seen on here! 5 stars!
I’d give it 5 stars if RUclips still would let me!
Seriously enjoy this way better than the original
still coming back at least once a year since I was 20. Just pure art imho.
Wow...odd...and yet very hypnotic. One of those guys looks like Piter De Vries.
totally
I saw this a few years ago on ebaumsworld but i forgot about it. I saw it again just now and i think i laughed even harder this time. LOVE IT!
I am so proud of my country
Eg og!
7 years that I heard for the first time this song... and still seems awesome to hear it! suck it, bonnie tyler!
Do they travel with their instruments? Like, do they load those busted kitchen appliances into their tour bus or do they just hit up whichever dump is closest before each performance?

OMG It is one of the first videos on YT!
This is fucking genius. Next time I have my chopsticks waiting for the chinese take-away delivery guy.....
Shout out to Tom Scott for reminding us of this masterpiece.
大好きです。
+すながようこ But of course
Never seen such great freezer playing. And that guy mixing stuff on the stove? Epic.
1:07 -- "Cowderpeg"... *ROWSDOWER!!!*
*HOORF!!!*
Here finally. After 18years. Good shit.
OMG! I HAVE DRUMS JUST LIKE THAT!!!! xD

I've been on RUclips since 2005 so HOW AM I ONLY SEEING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME!?!?
that's enough internet for today.
Erol Erturk you'll be back
定期的に見に来てしまう
Круче всех чувак,который справа,херачит здоровенной железной хренью по электроплите))))
one of the best vids that i ever seen, epic!
St. Anger drums, lol
saw these guys live last week, AWWWWWESOME!!
I like the fashion, don't know why I'm getting down voted.
ToT
It's been years, and I still love seeing this. XD
What is this genre called? Scrap metal? Buttcrack scrapcore? Either way these gentlemen are
How the other two guys kept straight faces with the manic guy on the chest freezer doing his bit is beyond me.. brilliant!!
drummer has great Dave Grohl´s style :D
+Miro N And he is the singer of another great band named "the cumshots"
Setian GPunkt And The Dogs, Mongo Ninja, Gartnerlosjen, Datsun etc.
Gartnerlosjen
I want this to be played in my funeral.
I saw it for the first time about 30 years ago. It still makes me laugh today 🤣
I remember seeing this video in 2005 and it was just as hilarious as it is today.
Nagyon ott vannak a srácok, elnézést az urak.
very good music!!!
superb version, especially with the amazing cooker playing.
Cant say anything else than AWESOME i would like to see some else classic also played like this
This is the most awesome thing I've ever seen.
This is the best video on RUclips.
