Watch Two Kids React To Hearing Phil Collins ‘In The Air Tonight’ For The First Time
Music fans might have been alarmed when Phil Collins was trending on Twitter early this morning. Happily, there’s no need to worry about the singer/songwriter/drummer/producer. The trend was merely started by a YouTube video featuring two young kids listening to Phil’s solo classic “In The Air Tonight” for the first time.
They have a YouTube channel called TwinsTheNew Trend, and much of the channel features them reacting to music that they’ve never heard; some of the other videos feature Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition,” Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani’s “Happy Anywhere” and Amy Winehouse’s “Back To Black.”
In the new reaction video, they seem really immersed in “In The Air Tonight.” But when the iconic drum fill comes in, they’re sold on the song. Watch the full reaction video here.
Watch the excerpt where they hear the drum fill in the tweets below (“I’ve never seen somebody drop a beat three minutes into a song!”), and check out the reactions to their reaction.

Got scared for a second seeing Phil Collins trending. But can breathe easy it's two guys experiencing his best song. I really hope that Genesis concert at the O2 is still happening at the end of the year. I'm ready to experience this live. https://t.co/Bq4B7trUBN

Thrilled to see these young men digginā on Phil Collins and his drum work. Makes me wonder, what would they think of Neil Peart? š¤https://t.co/nWyvSMjPsh
