Young guys absolutely lose it hearing Phil Collins’ In The Air Tonight for the first time

When those drums kick in, everything changes

Imagine if you could listen to In The Air Tonight again for the first time, with no idea what was going to happen at 3 minutes 40 seconds

Two YouTubers have gone viral for their excitable reaction to hearing Phil Collins’ classic track In The Air Tonight for the first time.

Williams, 21-year-old twins who run the TwinsthenewTrend channel, posted a reaction video of the pair listening to the iconic song for the first time in late July.

A clip taken from the full video has recently gone viral on Twitter, with people delighted to see a new generation of music lovers being introduced to one of the great pop songs of the ’80s.

You can watch the clip below.

In the full video, the twins are enjoying the song from the off, perhaps oddly comparing it to a WWE entrance theme song, but nevertheless clearly connecting with the classic tune.

But then the famous drum pattern kicks in, sending Tim and Fred into a new dimension. Fred commented: “I’ve never seen somebody drop a beat three minutes in a song!”

Tim agreed, calling the song “a straight banger”, and it’s impossible to disagree with him.
