When that chorus kicked in it gave me Eurovision vibes....

[chuckm]

That melody sounds like the little poem we used to say as kids..."there's a place in France, where the naked ladies dance, there's a hole in the wall, where the boys can see it all".

[J-Vasa]

Its a song from 1850’s called Arabian Riff. Its been reused so many times in so many films and songs

[jenniferw]

Your reactions make listening to songs like these infinitely more interesting and enjoyable!

[conhuir]

The spider part is ‘There’s a place in France where the naked ladies dance’ song 😂

[the_fancy_fox]

Honestly Justin, I love seeing where your brain goes in your reactions…the music prompts some “tangental meanderings” from you that are gold! Today’s pondering: Where will my chin go?😂
Well edited Jenny, love it👏🏻

[AnthonyCassidy]

Love Justin's honest and decisive reaction to the 'spidery bits'.

I once saw The Darkness headline Y Not Festival in 2013 & It was like what i imagine watching The Stones or Thin Lizzy back in the day.
You Guys Were Awesome even though it was really windy and it rained allot and a few bands that year had to either cancel or shorten there set but The Darkness soldiered on like a spandex weatherballoon

[Rocksarum]

01:36...😂😂😂 brilliant!👏👏👏 I really never get tired of that joke🤣

[maddo-mdmu]

Justin Biber and Nickelback had a baby?

Oh... it was stillborn. Rest in peace, little one 🪦😔

[revwillyg]

Also the song gives me WWE wrestling entrance music vibes

[shiftybat]

Hands up if you, like myself, believe Justin would portray a fantastic Igor in any Dracula reiteration, and wallets out if you work adjacent to the film industry and want to see it happen. Chin up, mate- we'll make a star of you yet!

According to the nonfiction book "Devil in the White City", That snake charmer riff was made up on the spot when the belly dancers arrived for the Chicago world's fair (1893) with no musicians or sheet music.

[darkhierophant]

"There's a place in France where the naked ladies dance."
That's the chorus. It's something we sang when we were kids. I think it's lame.

[jamesmonoghan]

Obviously a fan of the band with that chorus. 😎

[likepaintedkites]

our version was In the land of Mars where the ladies smoke cigars; every puff they take is enough to kill a snake; when the snake is dead they put diamonds i his head, when the diamonds break it is 1968!

[aprilkurtz]

The melody of the chorus reminds me of something we used to sing in grade school at recess...All the ants in France do the hula-hula dance, and the dance they do is enough to kill a shrew, and the shrew they kill is enough to take a pill and the pill they take is enough to fry a snake....it goes on. All this animal cruelty, sheesh! I like the whole rest of this song, but this chorus me no like. I appreciate that he does all this himself. Social media is not all bad, or a waste of time. It can be a useful tool for discovering new music. Thanks for sharing this, Justin!

07:34 Being a huge Elvis fan, the first thing that popped into my head was "Adam And Evil" from the movie Spinout.

[eamytb]

Unlike the southern river band, this I’d like to unhear…

[jaapkamstra]

Not my thing: When someone sings, you want singers to mean it. He does not sound like means it.
