Youngsters listen to Phil Collins' In The Air Tonight for the first time - and their reaction is priceless

Two young men have delighted the Internet with their joyous reactions to hearing a Phil Collins classic for the very first time.

21-year-old twin YouTubers Tim and Fred Williams, who go by the name @TwinsTheNewTrend, regularly upload videos of themselves listening to famous old songs for the first time, such as I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston and Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springsteen.

But their latest video, which features Mr Collins' hit 1981 track, In The Air Tonight, has won them reams of fans.

While they are enthusiastic throughout, their reaction to the famous drum solo towards the end of the song is truly hilarious.

Tim called the song "cold", "unique" and "a straight banger", adding that he "weren’t prepared for that".

Fred agreed with his brother, saying: “That was cool how he did that. I ain’t never seen somebody drop a beat three minutes into a song... This man killed it."

Although it was originally uploaded on their channel on July 27, it has since picked up traction and Twitter is going wild.

One person wrote: "These guys reacting to Phil Collins is everything I needed to see rn."

Another commented: "This video of teenagers listening to “In The Air Tonight” for the first time put me in a better mood", while others said their reactions were"absolute gold".

Fred came up with the idea while his brother was at university, to broaden their musical knowledge.

He told People: “There’s more than just rap out there. There’s so much more than I ever thought.”
