Beds Are Burning(metal cover by Leo Moracchioli) 

My neighbors love it.. They are banging on the wall right now 🤘

I'm Aussie. This is the best version of this song iv heard. My husband has just been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. This song is getting me by. On repeat.

As an Aussie, this song is sacred. You nailed it, Leo! Kudos from Australia!

As an Aussie who knows the importance of the meaning behind this song, thanks for taking it up a notch and sharing this powerful song once again! Great rendition!

Burn that bed! Hope everyone is doing good! What do you wanna hear next? Let me know in the comments:)

My mate died of a heart attack last week, he was a massive Oil's fan. He woulda loved this

Leo's neighbors are the luckiest mother truckers 🤘

My dad used to love this song. He passed away one year ago now. You miss me so much, Dad. Love you.

Midnight Oil, great Aussie band!

When the riffs are so tasty that not just your bed starts burning, but your body, your entire flat and your neighbours' flats too. Awesome cover!🤘😎🤘

THIS is the sort of stuff that should be topping the charts!

Completely forgot about this song. I was DJ-ing a family event and this came on. Thought, “110% could see Leo covering this”…well… here we are 🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥

Curse you, Leo! "...How do we sleep while our heads are banging!?..." 🤘

We want to hear whatever you play next.

As a teenager, this was one of my favorite songs and yes I knew the meaning behind the song. Leo's version still brings out the raw emotions just as Midnight Oil's version did.

As an Aussie whenever I hear one of my favourite musicians cover an Australian classic I get tingles 😊

Skills are amazing. Drummer, guitarist, singer, bassist, screamer, producer, engineer, director, writer. AMAZING!

What a beaut! As always I'm here to request that you complete the holy trinity that is Toto. Cover Rosanna by Toto!

you did real justice to this piece of culture

Not every song leo hits the mark but when he does it rocks your soul

Dude, I requested this a few months back. This is everything I coulda hoped for.

Leo is just a monster, and keeps getting better! 🎶 Frogleap Friday, you're the one! You make🤘 *Metal* 🤘 lots of fun! 🎶

As a long time Midnight Oil fan (early 1980's), I love that this song is alive and getting reinterpreted in these ways. Great version, love it!

I’m 41 so I remember that bald guy from midnight oil all over mtv. It was an awesome song. This cover is amazing. Keep picking great covers.

As an Aussie, and an Oils fan, I definitely approve. Still would love to see Leo cover Power and the Passion (especially that drum solo) or King of the Mountain by the Oils though ;)

Just the level of energy that song needs - fantastic.

No one covers a song like Leo. Very talented, and very funny.

My mum and I went to see one of the last midnight oil concerts ever, so glad I got to see one of the bands who I grew up with. We were smack right in the centre, front row, right in front of Peter Garrett. It was the most amazing experience and I really couldn't be happier than I was at that concert because all the other bands of my mother's inherited taste from the 70s and 80s are all either dead or no longer together. Technically I've been to two of their concerts, but the first one I was still a baby in my mum's belly. She really liked this cover, man.

Black Bomb A (2007): We made a metal cover of "Beds are burning" Leo 2020: Hold my bass

"Breakfast at Tiffany's" by Deep Blue Something might make an interesting cover?

This song was MEANT to be metal....WTG Leo! nailed it s always

I'm 67- old school. You are f-ing good man. Better than original Might take a trip to itunes today.

How about Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire"? That's crying out for a metal version...

I am about to turn 40 and have been listening to so much 80's music, It's so hard to come up with what you could do next......I don't mind 40. How bout this, bring in the right woman and do Roxette Joyride?

is anyone listening?

Once upon a time you get a total freak like this........thank the heavens the time happened to be now!!!!!!

Bloody brilliantly done great cover to a great song and being an Aussie this is awesome

Composition and performance way exceeded my expectations. This one should be a radio hit. Period.

This has to be my favorite mid-song arrangement by Leo in any of his covers (beginning at 3:27). Amazing.

I'd love to hear you do a cover of Foreigner - Jukebox Hero

Hell yeah metal protest tune. Midnight Oil...Australian legends. Leo you gotta do "In a Big Country" by BIG Country or.. Icehouse- Great Southern Land (which should be the Australian National Anthem)

This is why I've never questioned my Patreon membership for many years.

Out of all the covers of this song, this is the only one that has the energy it needs to match the original. Thank you!

Probably shouldn't have listened to this right before I head to bed

Flobots - Handlebars.. PLEASE!! This would be Godlike, especially metalized by Frog Leap!

i know better than to start watching Leo's videos in the middle of the day...cause i go down the Leo rabbit hole and i dont get anything done all day! DAMN YOU LEO FOR BEING SO GOOD!

I saw Midnight Oil in concert at Berkeley in the 90's. First concert I ever attended.

I'm back to listen again. I think the whole world needs this track in their life.

Leo - please cove "Mr. Blue Sky" by ELO.

Leo's metal covers are to songs what salt is to food. They bring out the flavor!

I loved the original so much.... but this is a masterpiece version!

this song was a staple on MTV back when MTV actually played vidoes.

As an Australian, and a Midnight Oil fan. Thank you for this.

Not many people know the "beds are burning" line comes from when the English settlers would burn the aboriginal villages in Australia to take their scared children and reeducate them in missions, and then follow their adult groups to the next water source and repeat in order to navigate through Australia and take their land from them. Midnight Oil made this song to talk about how it was Australia’s turn to give back to the native aboriginal peoples. White Australia’s treatment of its Aboriginal population had been terrible throughout much of its history, but Midnight Oil believed that reparation and forgiveness were possible. The chorus' lyrics refer to the white people of Australia, as to how can they sat and do nothing while the aboriginal people of Australia suffered and lived in squalor with no basic necessities or a say in anything, so in that case, how could they sleep while the people that were born to this land were being ignored and their beliefs tarnished. Even more than a decade after releasing this song, when they played it in the 2000 Olympics closing ceremony in Sidney, they decided to do it dressed completely in black with the word "sorry" written over it, because then Prime Minister John Howard was still refusing to offer an apology to the native inhabitants on behalf of Australia. As a crowd of over 100,000 stood in support of Midnight Oil's performance, as Prime Minister Howard remained seated, the band realized they were delivering a message far beyond their five-man outfit: "It wasn't Midnight Oil's gesture," Oils vocalist Peter Garrett recalled in 2016. "It was really a gesture for everybody who felt that way." As an Olympics volunteer later expressed, «most people in that stadium had paid over $1000 a ticket, or got them through high powered corporate jobs, meaning the stadium was full of conservative voters supporting the refusal to say sorry - or were they...? Everyone in that stadium seemed to know the words & be singing along & supporting "the time has come to say fair's fair, to pay the rent now, to pay our share".» I don't know if Leo kows about this (but the all-black video gives me ahint) or he just wanted to send a message about allowing wrongdoing in general, but props to him either way.

By far the best song. Have it on repeat continuously.. it hits so damn good.

Best popsong to metal cover so far!

Best Leo solo in ages. Usually I turn off when he deviates from the cover, but today I cranked it up

Leo, I need a hero 😂🙈🖤 You would be mine if you covered "Holding out for a hero" by Bonnie Tyler 🖤 Greetings from Germany

You have a Saul Goodman haircut in this video. I'm currently binging on your channel. Great cover music. Most better than the originals.

Don’t know this cover band,but this was the first drummer I fell in love with. Power & Passion is a masterpiece in my mind. Later I fell in love from the Nickleback drummer. I have worked security at concerts for 30years and this guy is brilliant in my opinion

I’ve been waiting for Leo to cover this!! Sounds amazing 🔥🔥🔥

Journey, dont stop believing

I wear my Frogleap Bunny t-shirt with pride…. and when folks ask what it is I simply reply… “It’s ‘kin Frogleap dude, check Leo out and feel the metal stir your soul”….

Leo is one of the most metal men in the world!

Leo...When Doves Cry and Lets Go Crazy (Both obviously by the very talented and much missed Prince)🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

“Hallelujah” - all Leo’d up would be awesome!!

Choon, I keep coming back...Best cover ever..!

From an Aussie worried a bit when I saw this thanks mate completely nailed it

Hi from Australia. I didn't know that anyone outside of Australia had even heard of Midnight Oil. Edit: I'm learning that the Oils were quite popular outside of Australia. Thanks Leo for allowing me to be educated on this point.

Even being a huge fan since "Poker Face" I sometimes think that video was fun but not going in my "Leo Favorites" Spotify playlist, and then freakin BOOM!

I used to like this song. Now, I love it!!!

Members from Midnight Oil are biting in their tables, when they realize how great their song could have been. But it needed a Leo Moracchioli first.

It`s definately time for "Stairway to heaven", Leo !! If there`s one guy out there who can do a great cover for this song, hell yeah ... it`s YOU !!! Thank you for letting us have such a great time listening and watching you :-)

"Georgie Girl" by The Seekers has a whistled riff that I'd love to hear you shred 😆

One of my favorite songs just got better

YAY MIDNIGHT OIL LEESSSSSS GO!

Would love to see how you go about mixing this all together from separate recordings, playing all the parts of the band

Speechless...

bed are burning ... ... and my headphone are fucking melting !!! good job dude!

Can't believe I only just found this one. Outstanding!

Press play...couple of seconds: oh yes. 3:00: awesome! 3:28: WOOHOOO!!! Du musst es laut anhören 😊

Alan Parsons Project's "Eye In The Sky". I want to see if you can do it.

Dying for Korn to cover this. It's in their vein so much.

Before: well, this song makes me dance! Now: this song makes me headbang as the world is ending right now!!!!!!

my 3 year old son and I are big fans and he asked me to request “Witch Doctor” by Sha Na Na please and thank you in advance (for Owen) 😁

As an Aussie, I approve! Also, could you do a cover of another Aussie classic, "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again" by the Angels?

ha! this is now one of the most favorite songs of my neighbours. No matter if they want.

Love you Leo

Maybe I'm too late and you won't see this: I've had a song I've wanted to do forever, and can never get bands to give in. I Feel the Earth Move by Carole King. The chorus should be so heavy it hurts. Also Sixteen Tons. Tennessee Ernie Ford does the most famous version.

Best version i ever. love it ....... don't ever stop

Aussie music rocks this hard the police knock on the door and asked if i could turn it UP. Love your work LEO.

You are therapy for my back pain.

I just love it when you deviate from the song and throw your own little bit in before returning to the source. Great stuff.

Going to send this link to my Aussie friend, expecting a "What a beaut!" response. Then its probably going viral in Oz. haha. It rocks!

You have not paid. This is brutal, and harder then you think.

You make Metal music for us people that like "wheels on the bus" and other good old songs. You are Metal to the core

As an Aussie, I applaud your choice and how well you did the song. Though I'd love to see you do Toy Soldier by Martika and or Life in a Northern Town by Dream Academy, just to see if either could be done that way XD

That version has a LOT more energy than the original recording. Well done Leo!

There are not many people who come along that are truly phenomenal and you Sir are one of them!

As a song writer I have to say that Your Talent in song construction is unmatched. A special credit to your uncanny abiltiy to write some of the BEST breakdowns in the middle in so many of your re-writes. So well constructed. Bravo!
