TOXIC LOVE - FernGully (METAL VERSION cover by Jonathan Young & Lee Albrecht) 

1:45 Never thought I'd hear someone make the words "egg chow mein" sound so sinister

You make pollution sound like an actual force of evil summoned from the depths of hell. THATS RATHER NICE.

I actually scared my husband because as soon as I saw this I screamed "HE FINALLY DID IIIIIIT!!!!!!!" and proceeded to play this on repeat, full blast. My childhood thanks you, sir lol

He even sounds like Tim Curry when he says, “That’s rather nice.”

When this popped up in my feed I was like "Ok he's good but it takes some HUGE balls to step to Tim Curry" But I do believe you've pulled it off you crazy talented man.

When you think about it, hexxus was freaking terrifying.

Jonathan could sing “what a wonderful world” and make you feel like you need to bathe in holy water.

You should try singing "come little children" as a metal song. Id love to see what your style and skill as an artist makes of that song!

I feel like this version would have had legit terrifying imagery behind it.

This is disturbingly sexy... I loved this when I was 8 and was terrified of hexxus and now all of a sudden I wanna take it to bed?

More villain songs, dude. You're really showing off what you can do when you get into these villain roles. Might I suggest World's Greatest Criminal Mind from Great Mouse Detective?

oh man, Hexxus/tim Curry did NOT have to go that hard in FernGully but he DID. I love how you sang this! Tim's version goes super sensual and tempting (because that's how he markets pollution) but i love that you're a little more unhinged... if that's not a weird and offensive description. Love your work Johnathan!

I actually think the way his voice keeps changing between soft and hard matches Hexxus who was always undulating and changing shape.

Do "Terror Time" from Scooby Doo on Zombie Island...PLEASE!!!

Wow, I haven't heard the name "Ferngully" in years. Thanks for rejuvinating a forgotten part of my childhood once more!

Obviously, you need to do his song from Rocky Horror now.

My best friend: “You remember Toxic Love from Fern Gully?” Me: **immediately screams** “OH MY FREAKIN GOD JONATHAN YOUNG DID ONE??? Gimme!”

I am legit geeking out ferngully IS my childhood! Tysm for doing this!!!

Man I remember being a kid and being absolutely terrified of Hexxus while doubling down on having crush on his voice

I showed this to my father as he use to sing along to this song every time I watched the movie as a kid. Both he and I love how you can go from 0 to 1000 in a millisecond, especially at 0:12

So have you applied for becoming the next Disney villain yet?

AAAAAAAA I'M THE CRAZY GIRL WHO HAD ASKED FOR THIS COVER IN EVERY DAMN VIDEO. THANK YOU.

You should do a rock/metal version of terror time from the old movie Scooby doo on zombie island

IT'S TOUGH TO BE A GOD - EL DORADO!

cmon where are the moans jon

Can I request "Not one of us" from the Lion King 2. :)

Well, then, looks like you've ticked off another 'villain song' box. Excellent work, sir!

Gosh darn it. I was just listening to this song earlier today and I thought "Y'know, I'm surprised Jonathan or Caleb haven't done a cover of this song. Either of them would sound really good on it." A couple of hours later and there's a new cover...... Toxic !@#$%^& Love. I guess someone read my mind. Keep up the good work Mr. Young.

Keep coming back to this one. It's the most perfect fit for Jonathan outside of Scar.

Well, you've done a Tim Curry song here... so you should round it out with Sweet Transvestite.

OMG you did it. I requested this one long time ago. Amazing as always😋

How delicious.

YES!!!! HE DID IT !!! HE DID IT !!!!!

I lowkey have always loved villain's songs more than hero's.

I know that in internet standards this will never get viewed, but can we please give it up for Jonathan when he gives into his inner sass and just flows with it.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do "Greatest Criminal Mind" from Great Mouse Detective!

0:12 *wink* Me: *faints*

I was so ready for the heavy breathing. I had no time to prepare myself for the laughing.

Dude. Ferngully was my favorite movie as a kid, this was my favorite song (The Batty Rap was a close second 😋😆) & it was also my introduction to Tim Curry. He's got a bit a of a Tim sound in some places which is hard to do. Good job for real.

Jonathan Young back at it again being the best unofficial animated villain singer

Could you do Feed Me from Little Shop of Horrors?

One of the first villain songs I heard as a little kid and I still love it.

I rewatched Fern Gully on vhs 100's of times. Love your version of this song, so fitting!

I love the old metal screams he does in this one

DEAR LORDY!!!! As Usual, The Edge Level GOES THROUGH THE ROOF!!!!!! Amazing Job Jonathan!

You’re the best Jonathan! That voice though!

WOAH FINALLY! HE HAS HEARD OUR DEMAND

Growing up with Tim Curry definitely caused a couple nightmares. This song was no exception. Loved it. Mad respect.

I was terrified of that villain when I was young. But your song freaking rocks!

There's a full version of the song for 4 minuties btw

Your vocal range is bigger than my non-existent future. ;-; .... 😂😁😂

I swear, when it comes to making intense, strong, catchy and amazing rock covers of our childhood shows and movies you are the best!, you never disappoint!❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸

HOLY GODS I LOVE THIS MOVIE! It took a few years but I FOUND my favorite childhood song all over again. I’ve always loved villains since my earliest memories, and with Jonathan singing-pure euphoria.

I liked all of Jonathon's Videos before now, but this one.... I now LOVE everything that Jonathon does!!!

Jonathan must've read my mind because I watched Ferngully the other day and thought: "Jonathan Young should cover that Toxic Love song."

Oh my ........ I'm speechless just speeches words can't describe how awesome this cover is

Dude!! This is fantastic. I always loved these songs, yet your renditions always make me love them more. I legit couldn't be happier with this cover. Bravo Jonathan!!

FREAKIN AMAZING i love this song

Damn, those sexy Tim Curry vibes didn't go filtered here. AMAZING JOB

Not seen this but the song and lighting in this video is awesome !

I would love to see Hexxus as a guest villian on Captain Planet.

I'm stuck between this version of toxic love and Elsie lovelocks version. Ah what the hell there both great!

How am I only now finding out about this cover? Absolutely nailed it! And considering how much I love the original, that's saying something.

i just listen to this and have a stage production in my head. like the song starts and then the actor comes out in very complex outfit. when he sings the part about greedy humans he points at the audience. then runs up a ladder to the prop machine when when he sings " and look at this beautiful machine they provided.' he is then replaced by a puppet for the rest of the show. when the song ends to show the huge smog hexxus comping out of the leveler.

It is three am and I am literally biting my blanket so my neighbors don't hear me screaming at the top of my lungs - HO W DARE YOU SING MY GUILTY PLEASURE SONG SO WELL @$*#&(* BOY GET IT. *SNAPS FINGERS* Seriously, I literally had chills when you hit that note at 00:10.

the wink in the beginning is going to kill me

Hi, Jon! I was just wondering are you planning on covering "You're Only Second Rate" from The Return Of Jafar?

This is definitely one of my favourite covers from you! 🤟🏾🖤

Do songs from Quest for Camelot!!!! THOSE VILLAIN SONGS ARE AWESOME DX

How about "you're only second rate" from Return of Jafar?

Ohhhh shit my nostalgia...

Ferngully was my childhood! I love this version so much!

YES! I'm BEYOND Happy with this one! One of my favorite Villain and Villain song!~

Every time Jonathan winks it takes a year off of my life

Your cover just leaped out of the screen and kicked My head off it's shoulders... thank You Sir.

Did not think this song would ever get a cover. Quite fitting and well done.

You should consider giving "Quest for Camelot" a go. Think about it Johnny Boy, it could be surprising. Ponder on that for a bit, will ya?

I listened to this on the YT Music app and had then forgotten all about Fern gully after that first line, that childhood memory was unlocked .

Cause I was already in love with the original... I'm so glad I'm in snow states, I'm going to lay in the snow for a while.

You didn't do a bad rendition and actually made me want to watch the original film again, alas gone with many other VHS but recycled likely as I was super eco conscious even as a boy.

I wanted to see you do this song ever since I saw you do "Shiny", you had some serious Tim Curry villain vibes then, it fits soooo well.

I like that, for your cover of this song, you threw the "sexual" and suggestive aspects out the window and made this befittingly dark, violent, and angry for the spirit of destruction it was written for in the first place. I like that you kept the momentary taunting undertones for some of the lines - while, again, having eradicated suggestive filler.

WHY AM I LATE TO YOUR AMAZING CREATIVITY?!? I LOVE THIS, ALL OF IT!!

You're the best, dude. This has been one of my absolute favorite animated songs since I saw the movie in theaters as a kid. This was awesome.

Omg I loved this movie as a kid! It's so nice to see someone bringing it back through song :3

You can tell a lot about someone by what they know Tim Curry from.

I'm obsessed with this channel now. You're incredibly talented.

Hexxus was the only cartoon villain i was legitimately scared of as a kid but i loved his song

Dude has the PERFECT voice for this.

Jonathan: Oil and grime USA: OIL USA: we are now invading this song for the oil

I've been waiting for you to do this! This movie is my name sake

The fan girl's thirst is real in the comment section lol 😇

I think when Tim sang toxic love, when he got to the "ha haa " part of the song the mic started to melt

Did one of my favorite classic villain songs justice, thanks sO MUCH for this cover!!

You may not be Tim Curry, but this is still an awesome cover of this song. You should do the extended version sometime though, that'd be the best thing ever :D

I just discovered this channel... and oh my god it's incredible. I was wondering if you'd consider doing "Make it mine" from Elmo in Grouchland. I think it's actually a pretty good song but could use a darker and more villainous version. ;^)

This dude has the sassiest villain song EVER 😂

This gave me chills holy. Shit...

Dude! This slipped through my radar, but I remember someone suggesting it in the comments one time. So amazing

I have a feeling Tim Curry would be proud of you guys! 😄
