"Pick up your silly twig, boy" *Silly twig hisses disapprovingly*

Original version > how Mosses heard it The cover > how the Pharaoh heard it

>invokes the name of nearly every Egyptian god in the pantheon trying to cast a spell >leaves out actual goddess of magic no wonder these guys got fired

Johnathan Young Cover: *How you imagine your DnD Character* Original Version: *How your DnD character actually is.*

In the original, the song was played more as a comedy or display of arrogance than anything else. However in this version, the priests sound legitimately evil. Wish this version was in the movie

The comedic relief mages just got wayyyy scarier...

-Watch until you forget the original one -Watch the original one, rediscovering how good it is -Watch it until you forget the metal cover -Watch the metal cover, realizing how good it is -Repeat

I like how Jonathan said ‘Ra’ almost like a roar, like he’s trying to jump scare someone. I don’t know how to explain it but it’s awesome and I love it

Egyptian gods have not rocked that hard since they were carved from stone

"Ok class, today we will be reviewing the Egyptian gods! Now, who can tell me the names of a few?" The silent kids in the back of the class:

For everyone who says they look like serial killers or possessed: The way I see it being played is from an angle of the characters being fanatical zealots who truly believe in the power of the gods. Jonathan and Caleb aren't acting the charlatans that the characters are in the movies, they're acting like crazed clerics who are not going to stand seeing their gods being discounted and dismissed.

"By the might of Horus, you will kneel before us!" Sounds like the most anime threat you could make in ancient Egypt

_I'm wondering why I'm not seeing any comments talking about how hyped this guitar play is._

A lot of people have pointed out that the priests in this song didn't mention Isis, goddess of magic, despite being magicians. Might be a coincidence, but I think it's because they're not actually casting spells, and it's all smoke and mirrors. Also, they didn't mention Osiris, god of the afterlife, and they were powerless to stop Rameses's son from dying. They did mention Wadjet, who's often portrayed as a snake, and Sobek, crocodile god of the Nile, both possibly representing miracles they "replicated"

The way Johnathan says "Ooo thats pretty." And how he looks gives me goosebumps everytime lol. Its so unnerving

in brazil "you're playing with the big boys now" was translated to "nossos deuses podem mais" which means "our gods can do more" which is way much better i think

I'm sure someone has said this before but now THIS is how you summon the gods.

Ra: A god of the noon sun. Mut: A goddess who is the mother of all other gods Nut: A goddess who was the sky Khnum: A god of the source of the nile, and clay Ptah: A god that made everything through will Nephthys: A goddess who protects dead souls Nekhbet: A patron goddess of upper egypt Sobek: A protective god of fertility, military prowess, and pharaonic power Sekhmet: A warrior goddess of healing Seker: A god of something Selket: A goddess of fertility, animals, nature, medicine, magic, and healing Reshpu: A god of plague Wadjet: A patron goddess of lower egypt Anubis: A god of the afterlife Anukis: A goddess of something Shezmu: A god of something Meshkenet: A goddess of souls Hemsut: A goddess of fate and protection Tefnut: A goddess of moisture, moist air, dew, and rain Heqet: A goddess of fertility Mafdet: A goddess who protected against snakes and scorpions

Moses: *turns wood into a fucking snake before everyone's eyes* Egyptian Court Magicians: *attempts the biggest flex in history to hide the fact they can't do that* God: That's cute.

This song taught me the names of the Egyptian gods faster than elementary, middle, high, and college combined

You two make it legit seem like it's a pair of badasses with actual powers singing rather than a pair of average joes doing parlor tricks and putting up a show.

Caleb looks utterly terrifying. With the lighting, his eyes are so dilated that, if you look at it from the right angle, his eyes are pure darkness.

I’m imagining the Egyptian pantheon watching the two original magicians like “What in the name of the Duat do you need us all for?! Damn!”

Caleb: happy psycho killer Jonathan: evil psycho killer Together:just run if you value your life But seriously you two are amazing as hell

God dammit, the shouting of the Egyptian god names gives me chills.

"Covers are never better than the orig-"

Lets chant it together now 🤠 Ra Mut Nut Khnum Ptah Nephthys Nekhbet Sobek Sekhmet Sokar Selket Reshpu Wadjet Anubis Anukis Seshmu Meshkent Hemsut Tefnut Heket Mafdet RA!!

If someone wants the lyrics 😉: By the power of Ra... Mut... Nut... Khnum... Ptah... Nephthys... Nekhbet... Sobek... Sekhment... Sokar... Selket... Reshpu... Wadjet... Anubis... Anukis... Seshmu... Meshkent... Hemsut... Tefnut... Heket... Mafdet... Ra... Mut... Nut... Ptah... Hemsut... Tefnut... Sokar... Selket... Seshmu... Reshpu... Sobek... Wadjet... Heket... Mafdet... Nephthys... Nekhbet... Ra...! So you think you've got friends in high places With the power to put us on the run? Well, forgive us these smiles on our faces You'll know what power is when we are done Son... You're playing with the big boys now Playing with the big boys now (Oh, that's pretty) Every spell and gesture Tells you who's the best You're playing with the big boys now (By the power of Ra) You're playing with the big boys now (Mut, Nut, Khnum, Ptah) You're playing with the big boys now (Hemsut, Tefnut, Sokar, Selket) Stop this foolish mission Watch a true magician!

Or it's your own grave you'll dig, boy You're playing with the big boys Playing with the big boys Playing with the big boys Playing with the big boys Playing with the big boys Playing with the big boys Now! Sorry, if they are not right🙏

The lyrics actually sound more appropriate as a metal song.

You did it. You fucking did it. I love you. Both.

I would pay money for a three hour track of John and Caleb chanting Egyptian god names

The way Jonathan says "you can be our acolyte" makes me shudder

When you like before the audio even starts because it's these guys and it's Prince of Egypt and you know you're going to love it.

that opening when they just list off god names *shudders*

It’s like once you hear any version of Metal Disney villian covers...YOU CAN NEVER HEAR IT THE SAME AGAIN!!!

Interestingly, the magicians never mention Ma’at, the Goddess of Justice I don’t think Dreamworks left her out on purpose, but I think it’s great!

I noticed something in this song, Caleb and Jonathan both have very interesting ways of playing rage, Caleb looks crazily happy, like someone who smiles while killing you while Jonathan just looks mad af Edit: Are you serious? Top comment? That's insane

The 'Oh that's pretty' gave me chills.

Believe it or not, I wasn't allowed to sing along to this song when I first watched the movie. Made it that much more intriguing and my desire to do so grew. Now I take every opportunity to sing along with absolute freedom Edit: probably the reason I'm so interested in Egyptian mythology too

When the bard multiclasses into cleric.

Can you and Caleb please please sing "it's tough to be a god" from the road to el dorado? This was amazing btw

Just randomly noticed how sharp Caleb's canine teeth are. There a vampires that are jealous of those things.

The mages went from a joke to a cult to be feared.

I love the drastic differences in their eye colour. It just makes it look so cool, especially when their looking off to the side & not directly at the camera.

Got the first part for y'all who don't know the names: By the power of Ra... Mut... Nut... Khnum... Ptah... Nephthys... Nekhbet... Sobek... Sekhment... Sokar... Selket... Reshpu... Wadjet... Anubis... Anukis... Seshmu... Meshkent... Hemsut... Tefnut... Heket... Mafdet... Ra.

This intro chanting the Egyptian gods to metal is 👌 Can't wait to use it in dnd

*When they chant the name of the gods.* Me: alright guys, you gotta stop sacrificing virgins to Seth, it's unhealthy.

Caleb looks demonic and Jonathan looks he is trying to figure out how to kill you. Kinda creepy but amazing cover.

"Oh, that's pretty." Sends chills down my spine every time! This is great! Keep doing you.

The "by the might of Horus, you will kneel before us" part is so damn good!

This song actually makes the original characters seem intimidating

Moses: I has danger noodle stick Wizardy guys: We are professional. We has danger noodles too. Moses: My danger noodle eats other danger noodles. I has a cannibal noodle Wizardy guys: Dammit.

After playing the new God of War, all I hear in the beginning is a kill list for Kratos.

So i guess that "chanting Egyptian gods names" is my fetish

All the dislikes are from the gods they forget to mention

Honestly, at 2:52 when you started chanting the gods in the background (which wasn't present in the original song from what I heard) is a very nice touch

"Oooh that's prettyyyy." Gives me chills EVERY TIME!!!!

This is gonna be egyptians gods rensponse when Kratos travel to Egypt in God of War 6 please i hope they include this song,can you imagine?

Can I just get a version of the instruments and them chanting the Gods names???? Omg it’s so powerful

Deliver us Deliver us

"Oh that's pretty~" there go my pants

Friendly reminder. THIS IS THE COMIC RELIEFS SONG

I know this probably wasn't intentional, but it made the visuals even more intimidating and scary (in such a good way): the shots where the men are looking diagonally forward, the dichotomy of their eyes is amazing. Jonathan has light eyes, and his version of crazy eyes is really wide. Caleb has dark eyes, and his version of crazy eyes is more squinted. So what I saw were two version of men possessed and insane, one with "white" eyes and one with "black" eyes. In such good ways. Perfection.

I don't know why but the chanting of Egyptian Gods' names is just so electrifying!

The more I listen to this, the further convinced I am that Jon is playing the older, cooler priest while Caleb is playing the younger, psychotic priest. Well done, guys!

All the naming of the Egyptian gods in this song has always been the hardest part for me cause a) the names are long b) they're said quite fast so good luck and my hat off to u if u did this in one take.

Fun fact guys, Jonathan actually hired mummies to play the instruments.

Seriously, the first minute of this video is so rad.

Now all we need is that El Dorado Tough to be a God!

Me: *likes the original song* Also Me: *also likes these two singing together* Them: *sings this song together* Me: ...•-•

Ok this is getting a bit obsessive. I can’t stop listening to this. John, Caleb you are both genuinely brilliant. You’ve made a fan for life.

Imagine if this was the actual song in the movie, now imagine that the high priests were actually Badass Egyptian wizards wielding the power of the gods. I'd watch the Epic Battle of the Hebrew God against the Eygptian Gods

I keep replaying the god naming cuz it's so fucking awesome

The fact that they get utterly wrecked five seconds later makes this song even better.

Imma be honest, this part of the movie kinda scared me when I was little. If I had seen this, I wouldn't have been able to sleep for months

Seriously we need Deliver Us. That's the big one from The Prince of Egypt for me.

This is so funny me and my friend recently became obsessed with this song, it became an inside joke we would tell each other that "you're playing with the big boys now" and the funny part is our names are Jonathan and Caleb

With all the lice action movie remakes I'd actually really love to see a live action remake of this movie with these guys as the mages

The "ooo that's pretty" hits wayyyyy different 😍😍

tell me why, in the argument of religions, Jonathan went and made this opening of Egyptian gods sound like vikings heading to battle. love it!

My ovaries exploded at "Ooh that's pretty."

Johnathan and Caleb chanting the name of the gods make them sound less like Egyptian deities and more like archdemons. That's how metal this is. I also love that they didn't stop at just one chant.

Hearing these two just chant the names of the Egyptian gods so epically...dayum...

Jonathan: >:O Caleb: :D

I like how Jonathan sings the part of the short and chubby character in the original song and Celeb sings the tall thin one xD (Obviously joking, this is awesome)

Bruh whoever is playing the guitar is doing AMAZINGGGGG IT SOUNDS FANTASTIC

Had chills throughout the whole video. Loved it; should have been in the movie.

Fun fact: this was the comedic song of the film.

This cover was so epic Ra decided to add another letter to his name BY THE POWER OF RAW!

Mom: son, stop listening to that devil music ... Me: you have no idea

For everyone mentioning this or that god that the song missed: There are just way too many Egyptian gods to fit into a song like this

When Jonathan say "Son" and then laugh, he look really evil but it reaaallly awesome and i love that part 😆😆

I don't know why metal music isn't as appreciated as it should be. It should be normal for their to be heavy moments in Disney musicals. Obviously it makes it more powerful and appealing to villains. This song is so powerful and badass. It's cool in the movie but this takes it to a whole new level. In a perfect world, metal would be more incorporated and accepted in music.

This is EXACTLY how I imagine cinema's greatest horror icons talking down to the internet's Creepypastas. And they were never heard from again.

I love Jonathan's and Caleb's version of the songs, They show real emotion right through and I'm loving it so much!

« Ouh that’s pretty » I love it !

This song was genuinely scary... and awsome, felt like they were actually summoning a Egyptian God

Please do "This is my Lullaby" from Lion King 2!!

You'd think the priests would mention Heka, god of magic and medicine or Khepri, god of life and the rising sun. Both very important to the pantheon and kinda important to the point they were trying to make and failed at.

Even that first 20 seconds alone is just... _OH_
