I can’t believe AAAH!BBA finally collabed with 2winz² - I’ve been waiting for this to happen since I saw the title of the video 20 seconds ago.

Am I the only one who appreciates the fact that this song already had backing vocals sung by a robotic voice, so when covering the entire song as a robot he made the backing vocals the only human part?

This sounds like a Portal end credits song if GLaDOS just fully snapped

In the song Just One Day, Juunyur claims that 2winz² is "never gonna die." Now that they've been assimilated into the robot army, it looks like Juunyur was right! Congrats boys! May your brotherly bonds outlast the steel that binds your flesh!

BDG featuring his own alter ego's in a song is one of the most BDG things he's ever done

i'm so glad 2winz^2 are still getting gigs, even if their tour didn't quite pan out #MaybeDaleHadAPoint

Alright, I'll say it. This is probably one of the best versions of Under Attack, harmonically. The "perfectness" of the chiptune and autotune really lends some clarity to all the different parts that you can't normally hear in the original, or even any other cover, really, and it only came about because of this silly, absurd, genius album concept.

That was the first time Dale began to wonder whether he and his brothers had grown apart. Years later, as the leader of the human resistance, he felt ashamed that he hadn't seen the warning signs earlier: the many tweed-covered computers, the growing friendship between Juunyur and their robot butler, AtSigns's growing dependence on autotune... But that was in the past.
EDIT: deleted edits

I love that only Dale realized they were on the wrong side here and his brothers just shit on him for it.

I desperately need more 2winz^2 lore. It's their second song and they've already allied themselves with the robot uprising.

This prequel to the book “I have no mouth and I must scream” is way catchier and more upbeat than I expected.

Ok, out of all the songs ABBA ever released, 'Under Attack' is probably one of the more obscure to receive a Halloween themed parody... and yet this is likely my favourite of all of these

As someone who's never heard most ABBA songs, congrats to these abominations for being my first exposure to them.
(In a good way.)

Another masterpiece from Gilbert’s nightmare thought palace.

I like to think that the 2winz are hidden in plain sight in shoddy robot costumes, and the robot army just doesn't notice

Fuck, I hate when the goofy meme song is an absolute banger.

Can't believe we got another 2winz² song, my prayers to BDG have been answered

This whole album is going to be a fever dream

It's very clear why the robot shows no aggression towards 2winz² while wanting to kill all humans. Since they've sold their souls to the music industry, they are no longer considered human.

Releasing full songs at 1AM is a level of unhinged which feels both unexpected and very right for BDG

2winz² backing voices my beloved, we need more of them pre-dale debacle

the robotic harmonies are honestly really beautiful to listen to, this slaps

I love that the parts that were originally sung with robotic voices are the only parts sung with normal voices in this version. It's a nice detail.

This is some serious Lemon Demon shit right here. Absolutely beautiful.

YES i never thought 2winz^2 would return. I am so glad it wasn't a one time thing. Even if it is a small thing.

Brian David Gilbert, the only man to do a duet with 4 other versions of himself...

i love that every vocalist on this track is brian but they all sound like vastly different people, including the robot. this is DELIGHTFUL

I cant believe he got 2winz for this album, this is really going to be big for BDG's career.

ah yes, my favourite boy band has teamed up with a robot, this good

This song basically solidified that 2winz² is only capable of is the exact worst decisions possible, and I think that's pretty neat.

The kinda obscure song, the harmonies, the use of the real lyrics ("resistance turning low", "like taking candy from a baby", "this is getting crazy" and so on). It's genius and I unironically love it all!

Is no one else concerned about the fact that this means canonically, all of humanity is destroyed in the 2winz² universe?

Brian it's 3am can't this wait till my mind can at least try to comprehend you

Love the whole album, but this genre mix of Louie Zhong, Glad0S, and 2winz^2 is just amazing

Bdg collaborating with himself is literally so funny 😭😭

This is the first time I've heard Under Attack, and this is actually a banger. I'm gonna say this is because of Brian and Brian ONLY

Its so nice to find vintage audio of 2winz² berfore the departure of dale. Miss him, the music just havent been the same since he left

For real, i really don't think Brian has any limits, he needs to be stopped... but no one will even want to stop him, such good music ffs

As a lifelong ABBA fan, I must concede that this is objectively the best cover of under attack

nice to see 2wins^2 back again, heard they were doing some 3riplets thing for a while but seeing the squad again is simply euphoric

This has a certain delightful blend of silly and genuinely enjoyable vibes. Can't wait for the rest of this album.

YESSS THE RETURN OF 2winz!!!!! DALE IS MY BIAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like how the comedic ingenious of BDG can take a romance song and turn it into a terminator robot uprising horror song with a few changes to the lyrics.

The fsct that all voices are distinct when he's playing basically 5 different characters is *chefs kiss*

I love that he forced the band's drama into this completely separate video 😂

Wow, this new vocaloid song is great!

the most revisitable AAAH!BBA track, it's so unique and scratches my brain in all the right ways

I’m fully convinced that the robot’s already reprogrammed every other member of the band and they’re singing this to Dale as he’s unsuccessfully trying to snap them out of it

so is 2winz^2 the villians here cause there’s no way that not murderous robot boi could be

I’m so glad two whole independent creators realized the robotic potential of this song: portal the unauthorized musical and bdg, I can Rest In Peace now

So often I've asked myself "Hey self, what if a murder robot and an imploding four-piece boy band were the same guy and also ABBA and also the cake was a lie?" and I just think it's neat to finally have an answer, especially such a chiptune-tastic one. Good work.

I feel like Glados could totally rock this song as well.

I was literally just listening to Just One Day wondering when we would see 2winz squared again

Concept: splicing together lyrics from the original and this version in order to make a duet between a killer robot and someone trying to escape it

When you put out lay all our blood on me I thought it was a funny gimmick... I was clearly wrong about your commitment to the villains of ABBA songs.

You know, being mean to Dale is one thing, but being in the robots side during the uprising? That’s a low blow.

I'm just imagining that Dale has leased 1 room to his 3 brothers and they've made a robot to try and replace him but it turned evil and is turning the 3 brothers into cool robots and is transferring dale into a calculator or something.

I love the little detail that all the members of 2winz^2 have *some* level of mechanical distortion to their voice - some level of robotic augmentation, perhaps - *except* Dale, once again making him the single most plain (not to mention reasonable) person in the band.

If I had a nickel for every sci-fi parody of Under Attack featuring robots that I knew the lyrics to, I’d have two nickels… which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

Having listened to the this for the 10th time I love that that in the ABBA version there's a couple lines sung in a robotic voice and in this version those parts are sung with human voices. A perfect inversion!

I've been replaying "I'm nobody's fool and it's clear to see, you have no strategy" so many times, it has a great melody line and the robotic voice compliments it so well

Can you believe they kept Dale on this feature? He's honestly just a weight hanging on the other twins, like a homely non-tweed sandbag.

Hey there's no debt if all of humanity is dead! Sounds like an absolute win for 2winz²

I really love how in the normal verses the robot is singing but in the backing vocals twinz² is singing BUT in the original song a robotic voice was used for the backing vocals and the regular singer was a human (unsurprisingly)

It’s good to see the boys back at it again .

I can't believe he managed to get 2winz²!! I guess they kept in touch after he directed their music video

My favorite from AAAH!BBA, but mostly cuz I stan 2winz² so hard

“Won’t know how” implies that there is hope for humanity, we just have to find the off button!

A chilling rendition. But glad to hear that 2winz² still peform. And praise our metallic overlords

It's been such a long time since we last heard from 2winz^2! I'm glad they're back

This is an absolute banger dude, I know these are mainly silly parodies, but I can sit and listen to them like any other song and enjoy myself.
Excellent job as always BDG, thank you so much for your fun and spontaneity!

The closed captions on your videos are always delightful!
Dale clearly has an unending well of patience. I'd say his brothers share a single brain cell, but that's probably a bit generous.

portal 3 credits theme just dropped

This is the best of AAAH!BBA . It is basically a completely different song from the original under attack

My personal headcanon is that Dale only joined his brothers again in order to get access to the robots to turn them off somehow, which is why after doing it he exclaims "maybe we shouldn't be on their side?" and is met with disappointment because the rest of 2winz^2 were actually on board with the invasion (they get to perform more with the robots)

This one is my favourite of the AAAH!BBA songs. I've not actually listened to the original song so this is just what this song is for me

So glad that Dale and the boys could put their differences aside, even if only for one song

It's cool how long this has been in the works, since the lyrics were done while Dale was still in 2winz²-1.

The fact that this came out 7 days after Inscryption and that the robots design kind of looks like P03 is a really weird coincidence.

I still can't get over how good his voice is even with the filter

I love that 2winz² STILL teams up with the robots for one final collab even though they're going to be destroyed, gotta get those last-minute tweed dollars

it's atsign muttering "ugh you're SUCH a buzzkill" in his head-empty breathy-twink voice for me

That "You know that I'm nobody's fool" line though....the harmonies, the soft drum beat. Just ugh, it's perfect.

The lyrics blend so seamlessly, I can't tell where ABBA ends and AAAH!BBA begins...

This is, in my opinion, the best AAAH!BBA.

Nice to see Glados is making more music.

Most certainly my favorite song of the album. I just wish it was longer. At least we can loop it. XD

Every time I think, "Brian has become too powerful," he gets even more powerful

I stayed up waiting for these glorious pieces of art

after listening to all five songs two times over, I always come back to under attack. 2winz² 2²eva

I think this one is the only song on the album which definitively surpasses simply being a joke song and is actually better than the original. And the original was already a bop.

absolutely love having no idea where ur career is going. every vid is a surprise

This is the bdg version of a miracle musical cover of an ABBA song. I'm here for it.

Brian I am begging you release karaoke versions of these songs

Definitely the best of BDG's monster songs. The vibe is impeccable.

I just can't get over how impeccable and complex the layering and mixing on this are.

i have honestly not heard the original ABBA song so as far as i know, this is just a banger song about the robot uprising

When the robots eventually rise up, I'd be okay with it as long as they do it to a tune that slaps at least half as hard as this.

This made me cry with nostalgia for the Lemon Demon I’d listen to in middle school. It revives all sorts of feelings 😭 thank you Brian
