Treat me, I want the juice on your lips.
Yes, you like it, I want to know if it's the truth.

Move your body girl all night
Mega mega, you are pretty and I like you.
You will be my girl all night. "

Reviews

Frieder Haag from the German-language online magazine laut.de described the EP MMXX as a “bad taste party in a metal shed” and rated the work with one of five possible stars. During his review Hague came to the conclusion that the song Hypa Hypa the German techno - and EDM - band Scooter referiere "because scooters, kennste, this very funny music, the still all face." The song with its 1980s music video would come around the corner "punctually" ten years too late. The band is "even ironic" mullet , no one has really dared to do that before. Sure, Eskimo Callboy wouldn't take themselves seriously. As a comedy group they would "unfortunately" not do their job any better.

The GfK Entertainment described the song as "catchy" and has named it the "Song of the Day" on June 9 2021st

Pia-Kim Schaper from Powermetal.de described the various versions of Hypa Hypa as "exciting". The interpretations would show how well the song actually works in all "musical styles", even outside of the metal core. She described the result with Sasha - "logical" - very trendy, but still successful. With the remix of Gestört but GeiL, things are “highly electronic” and the “bouncy ballad version” by Axel One shows a whole new face of the title. The highlight for “ genre fans” should be the performance of We Butter the Bread with Butter, a troupe that lends the title even more toughness and pulls the “quite poppy track” more towards Metalcore for Eskimo callboy standards.
