Almost 40 years after Phil Collins’ In the Air Tonight charted on both sides of the Atlantic, 20-something twins Tim and Fred Williams are winning the internet with their reaction to it.

The YouTube stars, whose channel is called TwinsthenewTrend, host a series dubbed First Time Hearing to learn about hit music of yore.

In their initial listen to Phil Collins’ 1981 hit, the two vibe along somewhat enthusiastically until the singer-songwriter’s drum solo – and that’s when it gets really fun.

It’s as if an ancient relic has just spoken to them from a pop history tomb.

The brothers – from Gary, India – actually posted the video late last month but it’s rapidly making the rounds now.

Here’s their full reaction video:

And people on Twitter are loving the pair’s enthusiasm...

The joy in knowing that beat was gonna drop & waiting for their reactions is pure poetry. https://t.co/eo2I36XYW4
