I am Taiwanese, and the videos from CiaLiu seem to be in Taiwan, where we also speak mandarin. The videos seem to show a few street signs and they are all in traditional Chinese characters, in China they use simplified. the roads and scenery seem very familiar to me as well, since that is the scenery I grew up with. There is even another one of his videos that have the title 「台三」 which is referring to one of the highways in Taiwan. While I myself speak mandarin as my native tongue, it is a bit hard to make out what the woman is saying, however I will note that she sounds a young child to me, especially from the way she is speaking. What I can hear and make out is "No, no. Just take me to the hospital first. It (possibly referring to a wound) became like this because you kept putting pressure on it." At least two other sentences are spoken after this that I can't quite make out. Based on this guy's channel I think this just a recording of the aftermath of a traffic accident. It's important to note that the verb for "applying pressure/squishing something" is the same as "to run over something" depending on the context. The uploader could have just wanted to mock this woman because he probably saw her as over-reacting, hence the format of the video. Which is very in line "Taiwanese bro" humour. She does however, sound like she is speaking a child, especially in the way she says "hurt hurt" kind of how a kid would say "owchie". Either he thought it was funny that she reverted to a child after the accident, or she may have been an actual child. It is hard to tell due to our voices being softer than most western adults.
Maybe the "humorous" vein could come from the fact that the woman was faking it? Like one of those people who throw themselves in front of a car hoping to get some insurance money or something, but they do it in such a lame way that the obvious bad acting becomes a cringey funny type of situation, you know?

For the Disney Scene It music: it feels like someone was like “oh shit, I have to make a soundtrack for this game and my deadline is in an hour” and then put random shit together and no one questioned it
I’m a sound designer and music producer. The music in the menu of the “scene it” game seems to be giving a tone of URGENCY like as if the game is waiting for you (or something/someone to do something) from the way the percussive sounds are being played. You maybe also sometimes hear “tik tok tik tok” like a clock. As if to remind the listeners that time is of importance or is counting down to something. This can create a sense of unease, especially if there’s no clear visuals for context. Like it’s just counting down, insisting you to do something or to ready yourself for what’s to come.
I've also done sound design and audio engineering. I agree with the sense of "urgency" it conveys switching between scales, changing styles, and from the clock ticking. I still don't think this explains so many comments along the lines of "I'm TERRIFIED" though, that is very strange. It's gotta be some MKULTRA activation sound. Just kidding. Maybe.
yeah i think that sounds quite accurate. id say theres also some element of chaos in how random the melody and rhythm gets, along with the lack of context on why its like that i guess, that might bring a sense of confusion. pairing this with whatever youve provided, such as urgency and limited time, i assume there could be a sense of frustration and overwhelming stress formed within the listener, and if theyre a kid, there may be a chance they can go into a state of emotional breakdown. its still quite a peculiar case to me though, because of the sheer amount of psychological influence this relatively normal tune seems to have on people. (im not a trained expert on this sort of thing unlike the other two before me but i thought why not share my ideas)
Hi, it's my birthday (Saint Patty's day) and I decided to just work on this all day. So uh, yeah I'd appreciate a good like and sub if you haven't cuz I'm old(er).
10:10 So I went to cialiu's channel and watched their videos. From what I can tell, the other videos were filmed in Taoyuan and the titles suggest reckless driving (likely accusing the car that cut in front of the author). As for the "produce" video in question, the first few frames give it a title of "Wailing -- Bring me to the hospital first". While the lady is a bit hard to understand between the sobs, she definitely is speaking Mandarin Chinese, with a Taiwanese accent. A few phrases I can make out are "no, don't touch him/her/it", "you bring me to the hospital first" and "it is because you ran him/her/it/me over". So if I had to guess, the implication is that the lady's child or pet (and possibly herself as well) was run over by a vehicle in a car accident. It is anyone's guess as to whether the author of the video was involved in the accident, or if they just happened upon the scene, but... Nope, definitely nothing exotic here.
Im assuming they got into a car accident and are panicking for one reason or another, maybe they got picked up by police and are panicking? I doubt they lost a pet or something, it seems a lot more focused around herself IMO. What I guess is- She got into a car accident and just started panicking
@@elwiwi4638 Well, she clearly used a third person pronoun in the "don't touch" phrase. For those not fluent in Mandarin, "he", "she" and "it" are written differently but all pronounced the same -- as "ta". Try Google Translate if you do not believe me. But I definitely agree that she was panicking.
The sound sounds rather happy and normal to me. I was doing math on a whiteboard and wasn't looking at my pc, but when I looked back and saw the background it seemed a bit eerie.
The first one: the way the person is moving reminds me of the way trauma victims move. Banging ones self against the wall, rocking back and forth, slapping the floor, pulling the hair, wiggling and rotating, hitting ones self with the arms. These sort of zombie-like mindless movements are also seen in animals who are suffering, like tigers pacing, or zoo animals hitting themselves or biting themselves. It's likely an art project but those movements look very much like that type of movement.
The menu song doesn’t sound scary too me, just a bit uncoordinated. To me the music sounds super happy but just messy. Almost as if it’s a middle school music project used with some preset loops and very simple midi.
@@eruminyenquenya3314 it sounds like the music from Yoshi's Island DS, in that it's trying to be cute but it's so uncoordinated that it just kinda falls apart
Just looked up the "Punish Babies" channel and although the channel is still there, the "red wagon" video is gone. After a couple Google searches, I've discovered that it seems like nobody even archived it, and this is the only evidence of its existence.
I think the Disney "scene it?" Music sounds like fairly standard waiting, nothing music, but what could be considered "creepy" about it is that the melody will often hold a note that's not satisfying or that just feels wrong, almost dissonant. Sometimes even allowing those notes to ring over the other notes in the melody
I think it might have something to do with bad memories of sitting down with the family playing and getting frustrated at an overpriced trivia game. a sort of futile nostalgia of something that was better forgotten. IDK but I know my family had the Harry Potter one but I don't remember playing it at all. a family is a powder keg and one bad game is enough to start a conversation about how we use our money. something something the middle class being sad blah blah blah.
Aight the Produce video around the 9 minute mark actually scared the life out of me. Those cries don’t sound fake, and this sounds like an mp3 download of a video, a concerning video at that. And the way you hear the camera being fiddled with adds that sense of realism. I think this needs to be looked into.
I have a solid explanation for the menu music. It's in the Lydian mode, the major key with a raised fourth. In the right context it can sound more uplifting than major (i.e Mario Galaxy, Jurassic Park) but it can also be unsettling. Too bright, suspiciously bright. Another example is one of the melodies in "When He Died" by Lemon Demon. So there you go, a solid, non esoteric explanation. I saw someone saying it was "Dissonant"... no, sorry. In fact it's far from it. It's simply in Lydian which sounds slightly more dissonant than major. EDIT: the lemon demon people have arrived
i mean,the person saying that lydian sounds dissonant wasn´t too wrong. the raised fourth creates a tritone with the tonic after all but i get what you mean and great explaination by the way.
I think that "produce" video might be audio of a mother giving birth. The reason I think this is because, as you said, 'produce' can be read in different ways. I think that this might be referring to a mother 'producing' a child. Also, "take me to the hospital" might be referring to the fact that she is giving birth in a suboptimal place which would also explain why it doesn't sound like there is anyone else there. I'm just speculating because I honestly hope this person is ok lol
It might actually just be a chinese woman giving birth at a hospital, why its in that weird format i dont know, and the name is just, produce from a program
My best possible explanation for the menu music is that the constantly changing scale, shift in musical style back and forth from jungly to oceany to broadway type music and etc., and the inconsistent instruments probably just plays on that primal fear of the unknown and unexpected. It’s unintentionally tension inducing because of how unpredictable it is.
Maybe it’s the same thing as like how some people, myself included, feel unsettled when listening to the SpongeBob end credits song. It’s not really a scary sounding song, but when you’re left alone and after all the fun characters desert the screen and your just left looking at a static background with names, it genuinely starts to feel unnerving.
yeah that's exactly what i'm thinking. the song sounds happy but it's not really meant to be listened to actively, it's meant to be played alongside other elements, not by itself. for me it did sound kinda hollow and lonely, which is what led me to this idea.
I have felt that way for years and have never met someone who felt the same. I used to watch SpongeBob when I was little, usually by myself. The end credits would come on and the song would always make me feel like I'm being watched. It still has that effect to this day, somewhat.
The SpongeBob credits music creeps me out too! Really the only song that unsettles me like that. I don't think the menu music is creepy but I've also never seen it before
Its similar to the liminal spaces. Usually they're happy fun looking places but, out of context it seems sad and empty. That's the vibe I get from the end credits theme, the whole episode is a fun time (or depending on the season, maybe not) but then everyone goes home, and eventually the audio and video fade out to blackness. There's a sort of dread to it, eventually the series is going to end, and we're all going to hear the credits music one last time. Once the song ends, there's nothing after it. It's over, all our friends are gone and they are not coming back. sorry i got dark
From what I can hear, "Produce" might be audio of a woman in a domestic abuse situation. It starts out with her crying, then something unintelligible, and then she says, "Take me to the hospital". She cries some more, and then says, "This is because you smashed/pressed on it." She then says, "Don't pick it up." Person recording might be abusing her, or her kid. I'm using "it" because we don't know exactly what she's referring to. Could be a person, or a body part. He/she/it sounds the same in Mandarin.
Terrifying...thank you for taking the time through that distressing audio to translate, I hope the mystery can be solved. I really truly hope it's just a clip from a movie or something the guy was watching, and not a real person in distress :(
No she's saying something like her child is stressing her out or smt so it could mean that she's pregnant and is giving birth in the tub,is not about abuse lol
Honestly from this I got the imagery of a woman giving birth. "Pressing on it" could be her stomach and she could be in some place that *isn't* a hospital. "Don't pick it up" idk. Maybe the baby came out?
@@ripcactusify im thinking maybe it was a traumatic birth (late-term miscarriage?) and that the baby came out dead. she could be screaming from the pain and from grief
as someone who grew up in the 2000s, that scene it music just sounded like any standard game's bg music to me and is even a bit nostalgic... although i do see why some would find it unnerving, if i was a child i think i would be creeped out by it too, it does have that odd vibe to it
I thought the music from the Scene It game was quite groovy, but being reminded that DVD games like that used to be common brought back traumatic memories of a High School Musical DVD game that we had. One of the questions the game would give you would be to name the character that appears on the screen, except their faces had been removed, leaving an almost slender-man resemblance. That freaked me out as a kid but I can't find sources about it anywhere on the internet. Might have made it up in my head, but it seems so vivid.
Reminds me of a similar thing in Nickelodeon Scene It!, only the characters have their bodies edited out so it's just their hair, clothes, accessories, and whatever they were interacting with. It was pretty freaking weird from what I can recall.
Some thoughts on the menu music: I’m drawing on personal experience playing other games, but having grown up in a very high-stress household, something as simple as trying to play a game together as a family would often divulge into people getting overly emotional and bickering. I can’t think of certain pieces or media from my childhood without feeling bad or sad because of this, so maybe the people who were traumatized by the music may have had a family/friend gaming session with the game go horribly awry, and now they cannot think of the menu music without subconsciously remembering the bad memories.
really? i listened to the song multiple times, but i didn’t feel anything, but besides “haha funny 00s Disney main menu theme”. i’m not the type of person who’s indulges in nostalgia compared to other people so it was just a funky little tune. though, my family never really did any “game night” nor was it dysfunctional, so it all depends on the individual and their subconscious
The “Disney: Scene It?” music doesn’t seem unsettling to me. A few of the notes seem a bit unfitting, and certain instruments seem like they’re weirdly placed, but other than that it doesn’t seem like there’s anything wrong with the song.
14:49 It sounds like something you'd hear while wondering around the hubworld of a video game. Like this would be playing in the background as you go to every npc in hopes they have something offer and go to any of the shops where the keeper would say something like "Hey stranger, I haven't seen you in awhile. We just restock on some stuff. Why don't you have a look around"
the disney scene-it song gives a sense of nervous urgency it's discordant yet upbeat there's a ticking sound and the beat seems to share that repetition. it's nervous and peppy and almost desperate.
I'm from Taiwan and the Cialiu video is from Taiwan (I can tell from how her accent sounds and the videos' including road signs reading “國道”), I hope to send an email to GooseBoose to explain the video, BTW it's not actually a murder or abuse or whatever you're thinking of. Please let Goose read this. Cause I think it's really important to explain that it's actually nothing sinister
I believe you, but the editing is so weird though. Can you tell me what the Chinese letters from the intro are saying? The ones shown before the screaming starts. I think I already know what they mean, but I want to be sure. Google Translate always makes things weird.
@@ivon1671 the google translate got it completely right. Although for me instead of Howling I'll say 哀嚎 means more like Wailing in this case, but other than that it's actually completely accurate on the 你先送我去醫院 part (just typing in Chinese some more to prove my authenticity ;))
So as a native mandarin speaker you can clearly hear the woman in “produce” say something along the lines of “don’t!” And what seems to be “He/she’s like that because you crushed them.” And “don’t hug(I think) them.” And from her accent she sounds Taiwanese (I’m also Taiwanese) but I could be wrong
The song gives the vibes of being downstairs in the middle of the night wanting to turn off the wii, but the menu music being turned off would make you horribly afraid because it'd be pitch black with not a noise in earshot
As a musician, that Scene it music made me think of when I have a bunch of ideas and make them fit together unsuccessfully. Nothing creepy or weird came to me, just some strange avant garde jazz
The fact that kids would find that song creepy is the ACTUAL creepy thing to me, like I cannot think of any reason why anyone would find that creepy or unnerving and every theory I come up with has major creepy pasta vibes lol. Like what if it’s like a Candle Cove kind of scenario and only kids can hear the REAL creepy music and adults hear normal music xD
It's honestly possible considering children have better hearing than adults I remember in 4th grade there was this periodic beeping in my classroom that the students could hear but the teacher couldn't. It was kinda annoying and no one could locate it.
Just seems like a cheery happy song. It reminds me of when kids tv shows have some music time, and all the characters pick up instruments that require no skill and play them together.
as a kid, i was definitely unsettled by the scene it music. i remember when i was at a friend's house, it was late at night, and she had left the room to go to the bathroom. i sat in an empty living room with the scene it menu open and i remember feeling really freaked out. i think it depends on age and environment. alone at night with the lights dimmed, yes, it's a little spooky, but in a room full of people you're playing the game with, it doesn't sound weird. edit: mind you, i am 22 years old n alone in my room late at night writing this comment and it is definitely very... weird. like it's more of a bop now than it used to be, but it's like im waiting for something to happen suddenly, but it never comes. i can understand possibly that it's the dissonance within the music. maybe it's the trauma. who knows
I remember when I was terrified of the Ice Age credits as a kid. I would hide behind the recliner to get away from the uncanny sketchings of characters mixed with the music. The scene it entry reminded me of that.
Hell the scene of Manny looking at the cave drawings freaked me tf out when I was a child also when they were sliding past all the frozen aquatic animals freaked me tf out
About the SceneIt music, this is the first time I heard it and at surface level it does feel like another one of those jaunty, and let's just say child-friendly music. But I definitely feel that there's something off about the way it sounds. Like... I can't really describe it easily with words, but imagine an intact egg shell with nothing in it. The instruments sounds like it's trying to be a layer of _something_ and yet there isn't anything to be layered on. (EDIT: what I was trying to say is, the music sounds *hollow.*) It's also got this off-tempo feel to it, and overall it somehow tries _too_ hard to sound happy. Holy shit guys, we found the uncanny valley of music.
yeah, i was hearing it for the first time too. it does sound eerie, but for me it kind of gives the vibe of a mickey mouse serial killer playing music that approaches closer to the closet you're hiding in. i'm autistic lmao, i don't rlly know how my brain works or what i'm talking about, that's just kinda what i got from it
I don't hear anything creepy in it, but I do agree with the hollow feel. To me it sounds like the maker of the music struggled with the program or just didn't have enough time to make it smoother, resulting in this rough draft audio.
Sounds like a good metaphor for the disney corporation for the past 10+ years, jaunty and child friendly but somehow just off and hollow inside without substance
I think reason people could find a song creepy, is because of how jolly, like it’s to good to be true/trusted. Kind of similar to “it’s a small world”. Personally I like this song
Taiwanese audience here, I went to the "produce" video myself and I think I can provide a little translation about the clip you played at 10:38 she said something sounds like 他意思是被你壓到會這樣啦 "he means it got like this cuz you put pressure on ( or press/crush) it" or 他也只是被你壓到會這樣啦 "he got like this just cuz you put pressure on ( or press/crush) it" In the original video, she also said 你先帶我去醫院啦! "Take me to the hospital first!" and other speeches are basically just her crying. As for the original channel's other videos, they are just recordings of the person's own experiences of other bad drivers he encountered on the road. The 惡意逼車 means "tailgating on purpose" So, according to those other videos, I suppose this "produce" is more like a voice recording of a car accident, the sound of traffics though little but still can be heard in the background, I think it's an accident happened late at night. The speculations I made are purely based on the audio, I don't really know why this person made a video like this, hope this helps.
Someone said she may be a woman giving birth and she is in a lot of pain. And "produce" may be a poor English translation for "giving birth". I can't figure out why there's traffic noises. So maybe this man is a father now.
the song just feels liminal in a way. It coveys the same feeling of being a little kid and waking up in the middle of the night to hear the tv in your siblings room down the hall, it’s just loud enough to make noise but not loud enough to fill the void of silence while everyone else is asleep. It’s upbeat but with nothing there but text and a slightly shifting background it’s just eerie as fuck.
For Goose’s weird experiment: I feel like this song was made by some intern who lied during a meeting and said, “yeah, I can make the music.” I also kinda feel nostalgic for it, because I swear I played that version of Seen It once. After watching the segment: I do kinda remember being scared of that game because I usually hated things having to do with the Tv. It is a really off tempo and I’m pretty sure it is in some weird time signature (something like 3/4 or 6/8 instead of the usual 4/4.) children don’t usually like songs that are random and that change a lot. It has a lot of unnatural and strange sounds that just pop out of nowhere.
i think the reason that the disney menu music seems so unsettling is because of how random and off key it sounds at certain parts of the song, which can be quite unsettling in certain circumstances
So for the "Scene It" music, my first thoughts were just "Dissonance", because well, it's dissonant. It's the juxtaposition of the cheery and happy beat/melody with the misplaced dissonant chords is what probably unnerves or scares people. It's a very "unnatural" and harsh sound that doesn't match with the overall vibe of the song. Also most kids probably aren't listening to music that uses dissonance since it isn't something that kid's or family media would normally use, therefore it would sound "scary" to a kid. idk if I'm using dissonant in the proper way musically speaking but hey, that's what came to mind.
Since children can hear higher pitches, I wonder if it sounds more dissonant to younger people. I felt a slight "off-ness" in the tone - reminded me a little of the Petscop opening music - and perhaps people who can hear a different set of sounds would get that impression more strongly?
As someone who grew up on video games, I think I was personally used to dissonant music. So I guess that explains why it doesn't really phase me at all.
For the feelings of the song, it sounds like a typical kid friendly song, more or less, but at one point it did seem a bit like a marching boot camp song which was interesting. Idk if it has the same theme to something else more diabolical, just sounded like a mix of instruments to make a child-friendly jam. Edit: As to how I felt mostly neutral, somewhat happy at different parts. Skeptical/intrigued at some parts (marching drums), but that may be because of watching the rest of the content before the experiment.
I didn't get some special feeling from it or anything. Not really. I did find it weird though that whenever I try to remember the song I get something different each time.
it might say "howling, take me to the hospital" because it could actually be a woman howling "take me to the hospital". it does sound like a woman going into labour and begging to be taken to the hospital
As someone who was one a kid scared of the dumbest things, I think I might know (or at least have an idea) of why kids were scared of that song. I think it might have something to do with the background. More specifically, the color choice of the background and the complete blackness behind the purple micky heads. When you played the clip, I wasn't really paying attention to the screen since I played this video while doing dishes. I actually really liked it, then looked at my phone screen and audibly went "Oh.". At first I thought the color choice felt out of place for something of the Disney property, since they usually use a warmer color palette for these kinds of things. But once I thought about it, I realized it exactly what it was. The lack of vocals and the complete black background. The combination of no vocals plus the ominous background might create a since of loneliness, especially for a child.
I think ur right about the background. I also think it is tied to those who are freaked out by it due to it being on In the background maybe over night or something while a thing happened..maybe a nightmare or a tap on a window...so it's tied to that. Mix that with a child's imagination...and u might have the answer lol. But personally...I see 0 wrong with the song.
i might add that from a musical perspective, the melody starts with F-G-A-F-B-C, further on transposed to Bb-C-D-Bb-E-F. Both F-B and Bb-F are tritones (augmented fourths), a pretty dissonant interval to use flat out melodically like that. It was generally avoided back in medieval music. Tho it makes sense in theory the way it's applied, it sounds somewhat unresolved the way it holds the B in the strong beat (thus emphasising the augmented fourth) and the C (which is supposed to be the resolution) is in the weak beat. This might not mean nothing but a very quick fix to the melody would be using the F-B (vii° chord for C major) as a secondary dominant (meaning you're in a tonality and use another tonality's dominant to emphasise the original tonality's dominant), so in this case the first note is F, you accept you're in F major, use the B as a dominant to C, which can then be a dominant to F so, in practise: TLDR - put the first note of the initial melody after the last note so there's a satisfying resolution.
Wow. You really dug up some repressed memories with that Scene it music. Here's why I found it so unnerving: At the time my family and I played it, I was very young and had never watched the nightmare before Christmas. I didn't even know what it was. And this game included clips and still frames from the film without any context, which frightened me. If I'm not mistaken, this song and a few others like it would play while the timer counted down before revealing the correct answer and introducing the next question. During the countdown, I would dread having to see the next clip/image, out of fear it would be from the nightmare before Christmas, or some other movie I found scary.
I feel so sick to my stomach abt the produce audio the only thing I can imagine is a mother on her knees wailing to take her child to The hospital by Maybe an abusive partner who “crushed him” (another comment said something she said translates roughly to that) while she went to get produce while an older child or neighbor records. Absolutely heart retching.
That disney scene-it music gives me the same feeling that I'd get from, like, being in a super safe situation but my cat is aggressively staring and shying away from some random empty spot near me. The feeling of happiness and content with slight confusion and unnerve underlying it y'know? I think most people are scared by it because of how random the sounds are, but I'm not sure.
Amateur musician here! The reason why you feel like this is probably because of the occasional out of tune sounds. It’s generally pretty happy except the notes with the hypothetical cat. I’m pretty sure that the creators had no ill will though! (Again, I am an amateur, so take my words with a grain of salt)
From a music theory standpoint, even though I don't find the Scene-It music creepy, I think the reason so many kids did was because of how empty it sounds. There's no clear prevailing melody and it really seems that only 1-2 instruments play at a time intermittently in small bursts especially segments of purely percussion. There's no consistency, it isn't the grand and full music that is usually associated with Disney. Chances are it left kids looking for more in the song and their imaginations carried out the rest.
Yeah that's the conclusion I came to as well. I think people are mostly creeped out by the menu itself rather than the music. I mean the menu isn't super scary to me but I can see how a little kid might find it creepy.
My first impression was that while I was listening, it felt as if something wrong was happening. I was going somewhere dark. I would not call it scary or horrifying, just a little bit disturbing. Not sure why... Of course the off notes were probably the reason.
For the Disney Scene it song, I have to agree with the comments in the video. Strangely theres nothing wrong with it, even with the visuals. But yes it's strangely unnerving. Like it sounds offputting, And just to be really attentive to details the song has this steady beat which feels as if it's anticipating something unexpected. It has this sort of awkward silence to it. And those mickey siliottes? They're rendered so dark and dim it's like something will jump out from the spaces in between. But man I love harmless childhood scares like these. Similar to something like reboot the cartoon I guess. It's most likely the super dark colours and really somehow passive aggressive music. Well I hope my explanation helps.
The song had some light, springy, jaunty, almost happy or cheery bits, but a few times it almost sounded like it was doing that thing where a song shifts a few notes into a negative key to give the listener a sense of unease. A few times I felt anxious listening to it, partly because it felt really disjointed, like it almost had a catchy little tune, but then it shifts into something else entirely, but then doesn't linger on the new tune either, just giving the track a non cohesive, ever changing vibe.
15:45 it really sounds like music in a Disney ride, like when the ride stops while ur in the middle of it and you sit in the same room for a few minutes as the music continues to play. Like it’s just the normal music but ur not supposed to hear it go on for this long. Not scary actually pretty nostalgic for me because I basically grew up at Disney
The song reminded me a lot of the ""generic"" music one could find in Pause or Main Menu Screens in licensed games, specially for the PS2, you know like those tie in games from disney and pixar movies and other similar games. While i would admit that hearing it in this video felt a bit unnerving, i think it was probably because i couldn't avoid feeling a bit suggested by the possibility that mayybe some weird spooky thing would happen in the song, but by itself i don't find it particularly weird or anything
Generic is absolutely the way I would describe it too. Soulless, almost royalty free esque sounding music put there just to fill out the void with something. Not particularly 'creepy' for me, just...odd at worst, kinda forgettable and off key at best.
I never heard the menu music at all but I can see myself waking up in the middle of the night my family all asleep and listening to this in the dark and feeling unsettled
The 'Scene It' music just sounds like it was made by someone with no musical background messing around with software. My wild guess is that the project had a tiny budget and a programmer or marketing director did it themselves. These games were made during an era where commissioning a contractor or finding royalty free music online was less straightforward or well-known as options
i feel like alot of the creepiness that comes from these old dvd menu songs is the fact that alot of the time they would just be left to play over and over again.
I can kind of explain why the "Scene it" music is "scary". Now to little kids some stuff like that song can just be scary to little children. Like it just feels unnerving. Take those "Sneak peak" 2000s DVD menu music (The ones that have that "woosh" sounds, yk what I'm talking about if you owned a Disney DVD in the 2000s) songs, they just sound unnerving to younger kids. Not to mention it's on repeat until the DVD player/game console is turned off. Now myself I wasn't scared of the scene It music as a kid, I thought that "Disney DVD sneak peak" was just unnerving for me as a kid.
Exactly, or the pressure that comes along from needing to do a task in a specific about of time before something happens could also play a part in it. That’s why I hated those Sneak Peak Disney things.
When i was little i was scared of the universal intro, i was afraid that some sort of big monster or whatever was going to spin around the earth like the universal logo
@@vomerconch9795 This honesty reminds me of SpongeBob credits in DVDs, when the entire episode set on a DVD is over and plays that credit music in SpongeBob. Always unnerved me (Especially when I was alone)
Interesting theory. In the same vein as you're describing I was *deeply* unsettled by the transition "dun-dun" in Law&Order when I was a lot younger, so given the right circumstances I can see how it might wind up messing with people's heads
For the Disney scene it section. I belive he's on spot with the unresolved trauma. Because I also experience an irrational fear of the classic minecraft music. Makes me nervous and on edge. Anything could do that if it's tied to an unfortunate childhood. You might not even realize it because it's subconscious, exactly like when you smell a certain smell and it gives you nostalgia but you can't find out why.
Its not scary, you are right. but for some reason when I listened to it, it made me feel really nauseous and a bit dazed. The dazed part being "how did I forget this was a thing" and the nauseous part I'm still not sure.
The Disney Scene It? Main Menu song gives me feelings of unsettlement, but not in a scary or terrified way, more so in a confused way. It just leaves me bewildered and a little weirded out, especially with the sporadic mix of instruments, because to me, the song both sounds and feels like it was very haphazardly cobbled together, or maybe even left unfinished. I felt a little surge of anxiety at the very beginning, but I mainly think it was because of my own mind faking myself out and thinking there was going to be more to it. In conclusion, it sounds a little creepy, but mainly invokes thoughts of "this is it? this is really what they settled on?"
Agreed. It’s a mess. I can see how that would be unsettling for kids though, music doesn’t normally sound like that and pairing it with Disney is especially strange.
its weirdly validating to know that the scene-it music was terrifying to other people and it wasnt just child me having another undiagnosed autism and sensory issues moment over nothing
When i was young my parents used to argue a lot, I would often hear them crying and shouting at each other, it honestly left me terrified. At that time i had just got smash bros brawl on the wii and played it a lot. When i heard my parents shouting i couldnt help but try to listen, so i would often pause my game and go back to the main menu. Sometimes my brain replays those memories, and a lot of the time they are accompanied with that song. Its not scary at all obviously but now when i hear it im immediately reminded of how terrified i was back then. Wondering if a similar thing is behind the "main menu" mystery
From what I can hear from the 'Produce' video, the woman can be heard saying 'I don't want it/to', something along the lines of something being pressed on and 'don't carry him/her'? It's a bit mumbled due to her crying but either way, it definitely sounds like she's in a pretty precarious position.
the song sounds weirdly nostalgic i think the reason it would freak out so many kids is because it's in lydian, something i've seen someone else point out lydian has an interval which is very dissonant when played against the first note of the scale (a tritone, used in a lot of music for the purpose of being dissonant), which is used quite a bit in the song when used right, lydian is mystical or very cheerful (like the simpsons theme is, which is written in lydian), but it might be just an over emphasis on the tritone that might have unnerved a lot of kids i guess? just a little guess
The song itself for me isn't creepy, but it does make me uncomfortable, disoriented for some reason, its so chaotic. Btw, happy birthday goose and continue that elden ring grind :D
I think it might actually be the background, just the darkness behind the mickey heads, the weird shadowing, and slow falling heads. That might be what triggered our fear monkey brain
Even then for chaos, it's pretty calm, like it isn't just a mess of music, each genre gets its own bits, sure it's a bit too short, but it's somewhat organize
@@GG-lk4xf I was listening to the audio without the imagery so it really wasn't the background making me unnerved, but I can't deny that mickey is one scary little rat 😂
This is exactly what I think as well. I wrote a comment here that compares it to Frank Zappa or The Residents, and those people are known for creating incredibly chaotic, strange and ever shifting musical pieces. I think that style of writing might just get under people's nerves if they don't know much about the topic.
I have a theory about the song, the song itself is really random, you can hear the theme switches from 14:52 to 15:14 to 15:21 to 15:34 to 15:44 . Maybe the switches were too overwhelming for a kid to listen to, I can imagine myself as a kid to be unsettled by the song
the song is actually fine, though it sounds empty like it's a demo version. i think the visuals are the problem. people already said it, but i agree that dark colors and crawling shadows of whatever can scare a child. the design of the main menu just doesn't seem friendly enough to me
The song is like walking down an empty hallway in Walt Disney World, like supposed to be happy but is liminal in a way and a little bit creepy. Like an abandoned attraction there that is covered by a plain and sterile coloured curtain something that the cast members don’t want you to see whether it’s creepy or not.
@@symbiote1982pk I meant that it invokes a similar feeling to when you look at or imagine an image of a “Liminal space”, as in the internet aesthetic/ genre of photos and art works, in that it gives you a similar eerie but also nostalgic feeling to viewing/ interacting with them. I know it means something different in psychology and I don’t think that both concepts are necessarily related in any way, I myself do not know much about the psychological phenomenon/concept as I do the aesthetic of “Liminal Space(s)” popularized online, that is also connected to the horror genre.
honestly the menu music was pretty chill , although at some points where the notes get higher and higher i can get how that could invoke some stress into someone
Honestly, whatever bobnface is, it’s a really cool piece of art regardless. On its own it’s a cool example of early abstract digital or pixel art, and it could double as a killer album cover tbh.
I kind of liked the "Scene It" song. I honestly love cheap sounding MIDI music like that. There is something endearing about it. Those people that had issue with it are probably leaving out the part how playing "Disney Scene It" with their family just so happened to end in a screaming argument where Mom and Dad decided on getting a divorce.
That music has a level of "Anticipation", almost like you are waiting for something to happen. It's not scary, but it's more like... Being in line for a movie.
I feel that the "Scene it" part was just scary to kids because of the same reason kids were scared of the PS2 red error screen. A random dark liminal space with moving shapes and random sounds/music accompanying it. Heck, if I saw that at night, it'd scare me and I'm an 18 year old with a love for horror, gore, online mysteries, etc.
bro i thought i was the only one scared at the ps2 red error screen💀 i now feel less bad about myself, that shi honestly disturbing especially when you're alone
I won't lie, the menu theme for Disney Scene-It was kind of a blast from the past for me. I remember playing this game quite a bit with my parents and grandparents over a decade ago. I believe I got it as a Christmas gift mostly due to how into the original version of the game I was, and the fact that my parents felt the original was too inappropriate for me at the time. I think I was like, 9 or 10 at the time so they were right to an extent. I never felt fear from the menu song that I can recall (the original Scene-It themes were more unnerving to me, iirc), but upon rehearing this theme, I do see how some may have found it scary or unnerving as children. I hadn't thought about Disney Scene-It in so long, so it was a bit of a surprise to see it be talked about all these years later.
I had played that Disney Scene It game pretty often as a kid with my siblings. Never did it strike me as creepy, however, that music was accompanied with the countdown timer. I think its just association with the feeling of building pressure and stress from counting down your final moments before getting a question potentially wrong. When I heard the music I immediately remembered the stress I felt of trying to think but being overwhelmed by that exact music. I think that's why people feel unsettled by it.
Fun fact for the people who are too lazy to do it themselves: the other cialiu motorcycle videos are called something like malicious driving, speed test, speed, GTR1400 vs touring car...sounds like the person was up to no good Also, if you watch the produce video for youself, there's an intro reel or something like that, and it has some Chinese words. At first I thought it's just some stuff you must have if you don't pay for premium or something. But the title can be translated to "howling" (like she's being mocked) and the description below to something like "you take me to the hospital first". The image distorts more as the video goes on. I feel like this was purposefully made to be disturbing, wether it was for a joke or something worse, since all the videos got uploaded really close to one another, and none were uploaded ever since. Edit: since this is most likely a traffic accident, and considering the malicious nature of the video, I have a theory. I don't know how possible this is, but it's the best thing I could come up with. Maybe the driver somehow hit a woman (or maybe someone who was with a woman) with their stupid motorcycle while trying to film another video, hurting both the woman (or as I said, someone else) and themselves, but not causing any lethal damage. Perhaps the woman's arm was broken, something like that. She demanded the driver to take her to the hospital. The driver got very salty and wanted to humiliate the woman in some way, making a video titled "Howling" (or in this context "Wailing"). The description might have been a nicer version of "Take you to the hospital? Bitch you take me to the hospital first!"
Tbh i think so too. It makes much more sense than the weird pregnancy stretch. The channel does not look like an ARG at all, putting a weird english word that can be barely related to pregnancy (and is also what an editing program uses to name videos) as a title for a video where the sound doesn't resemble a hospital at all doesn't make sense. A traffic accident by some cocky asshole seems more plausible
I always had a weird fear of the Disney Scene-It game, or any DVD/Board game for that matter. Yes, I owned Disney Scene it as a kid, and the music was unsettling. I owned other DVD/Board games and they all unsettled me. I like to think it was the pause in between answering questions, the dead silence that followed after, it was normally just me playing them with my parents as a kid, and sometimes they'd step out for a smoke or whatever, and I'd just play random questions while I waited, and just being by myself, alone, in the living room, at night, dead silence...it unnerved me. If you want an unsettling song from a DVD-ROM game, do the Lady and the Tramp board game. The song that played before questions traumatized me.
If jarring silence is followed after then that would make sense alongside the described atmosphere. I’ve definitely felt that playing alone at night after all my friends left the Xbox party as a kid. The feeling of being alone in pure darkness minus the buzzing light of the TV. That made sense.
14:08 it sounds pretty upbeat to me! But I remember when I was younger dvd title screens kinda made me uneasy. Maybe it was because there was no other noises except for the tv. Also, the repeating at some parts could be a reason it’s unnerving. I don’t know. But I’m sure if I was hearing that on my tv in my room when I was younger, I would feel a bit uneasy.
The song sounds quite happy and jolly to me, albeit a bit goofy and disjointed but it's nice. It reminds me of a youthful and jovial band of inexperienced music class students practicing. It definitely brought a smile to my face.
To me the music sounds like a bunch of intros or interludes strung together in a haphazard way. It does give me an eerie feeling because it sounds like it's never actually starting or ending. I think the way the music is composed is what creeps out most people because it gives you an unsettled feeling like a auditory version of being trapped and not allowed to leave.
That Disney song makes me feel genuinely uneasy. It reminds me of the feeling of emptiness you get when you're waiting on someone to come play a game that they said they'd play with you, but they're still on the phone in another room, so you just have to sit there and wait for them to be done. I can imagine that was many people's experience, accompanied by that awful music on loop.
as a kid, a lot of totally innocuous stuff would creep me out. the stuff itself was innocent enough, but the common thread is that to me it felt weirdly liminal. like playing video games alone in the living room at night. stuff like that. so maybe the people scared of that disney music had a similar experience? the best comparison i can think of is how a lot of people talk about being creeped out by minecraft as a kid.
it's like everything is too open. i can't see and i have so many blind spots where stuff could be and i don't even know because everything is wide open
This Disney menu music sounds like something Xploshi would use unironically for their horror animations. A bit of it makes me think of the Honeypop ost.
The song: it’s pretty cute, made me feel happy and nostalgic but a little anxious because of the setup. The chords are a little dissonant and the sound is jumbled so I can see why kids would be freaked out a bit.
I don't find the music particularly scary. I think any "unnerving" vibe i get from it just comes from knowing other people find it scary. I think if you're scared of something as a kid, no matter how irrational, that fear stays with you as an adult. I was horrified by the walk cycle scene in the lost spongebob episode, and I still find it creepy to this day, but I think if I saw it for the first time today I wouldn't think anything of it
The walk cycle would sometimes randomly play on the Flemish Nickelodeon channel, not even the entire episode leading up to it. In the beginning I thought it was scary but eventually I warmed up to it
For the main menu entry, it reminds me of good times, where i was staying at my moms house. Times where I would wake up to the peaceful sounds of various dvd menus. (Well as peaceful as the daria dvd menu can be-) but it also reminds me of the silence of the dvd menus. The characters on screen staring at you, smiling. Being very still. In a pitch black room with only you and the tv in it. As a kid, it freaks you the fuck out. This is what causes my fear of the dark and extreme amounts of silence actually. So overall the song to me has a sinister undertone behind it, but that’s due to what i was exposed to as a young lad.
the song doesn't sound that bad, it just feels like a thing you'd hear after being freaked out by something unrelated but it's still playing and doesn't help at all while you're panicking
Woof, hearing the Disney Scene It music again after so long hit me with the weirdest feeling. I too can confirm that the game left me with a sense of unease as a kid. This particular menu song wasn't really too bad, what got to me was the countdown music they'd play that was accompanied by that classic movie spinner with the numbers counting down. I personally have always been creeped out by DVD menus since I was little. Something about the looping music that will abruptly cut off when you make a selection, a brief silence, and then quickly snapping to a new page with new looping music just always felt unsettling. I feel like with the Disney game in particular, the fact that the game didn't really have a cartoon host or anything and entirely relied on how you were playing on your board game felt a little odd. It was like having this ominous overly-happy music pop in and out on your tv in the background while you tried to play a regular board game. Again it's hard to explain, but I almost relate it to the uncanny valley but with technology. VHS tapes weren't ever interactive, and digital stuff now loads instantly and is easily adjustable and interactable with. DVDs were kind of that middle ground where they really wanted to test the bells and whistles of the new technology before it could be truly refined, so the stilted menu interactions and the music cutting in and out can be off-putting to some. I'd compare it to that of early cheap animatronics, where the tech couldn't replicate real interaction, leaving some people feeling a sense of unease, especially when the artificial friendliness is cranked up to a 10.
Good to know I'm not the only one that always found DVD menus just... unsettling, eerie. Usually quiet, sometimes with a cheap looping track, always static, with that abrupt transition to a scene select or something. It really was uncanny.
I remember owning and playing Disney Sceneit, but I don't recall ever being scared of anything about it. The music sounds like average, kid like video game music. Also, glad to see this series back! Love it!
The song definitely sounds just straight happy and simple, but I do feel like there’s a “somethings about to happen” kind of quality to it. I don’t know music so I can’t explain what it is that makes it sound that way, but I think it’s the main jingle that repeats is what makes it feel like something is gonna show up and scare you. If I heard this as a kid I would definitely be unsettled. Like you’re ready to press the play button as fast as possible just to get away from the screen. It’s reminds me of a Smokey the bear commercial that I was terrified of. One with dancing matchsticks. The music was all jingly, and then it ended with the Smokey the bear face slowly fading in. So that’s the same feeling I get with this song
The song reminds me of one of my younger siblings trying out all the default settings on their electric piano. Silly and chaotic but definitely not scary. Sounds like music the composer just slapped together for a dumb kids game.
While this particular dvd music isn’t “creepy” to me, I feel like it does have the same qualities as other dvd menu music throughout the 2000s I DID find creepy. It’s hollow, void of true emotion, and probably repeats over and over. The 2000s I was a teenager/ early adult, and used to fall asleep all the time watching a movie, and the dvd menu music would eventually play over and over until it seeped into my dreams and woke me up. While I can’t think of titles right this second off the top of my head, I DO remember during that time period that I thought it was crazy how often I would find a dvd with just flat out weird music that got weirder as it repeated itself. I also remember thinking that DVD production companies were purposefully doing this for some reason, but by that point the DVD/Blu Ray industry was taken over by streaming services, so the issue never came up again. Instead of maybe focusing on this particular DVD’s menu music, maybe just dig around for creepy dvd music in general and see what crops up. I firmly believe that this is not an outlier.
I cite the scene it menus in particular as really creepy, the atmosphere and everything about it scare me. The void feels eternal, the best way over the years of me trying to describe the fear is it feels like it's all I'll see after death, that I'll be stuck in a limbo with omnious music and things such as that.
I've never played Disney Scene It and and ive had limited interactions with DVD menus, at least not since my childhood as an early millennial and I really agree with this sentiment. Hearing the music made me really anxious and uncomfortable as it kept playing. The best theory I can think of is that with something like video game menu music for example that's something that's going to be needed and understood as part of the entire game creation and the music is made specifically for that component of the game from the start where as DVD menu music is probably gonna be an after thought so instead of buying the rights to a random song for the DVD release potentially years after the original movie was made a simple looping track would've been made for the menu in most cases. It kind of brings to mind to me the same feeling as a phone ringing but nobody answering it. This is also probably why I reacted this way, as the last time i heard a menu screen song that played for this long everyone would jump for the remote to turn off the annoying low-effort looping song lol I guess to hear it just left the residual anticipation for the audio to change when it never does.
When I was younger my cousins were (and still are) huge Disney fans, whenever we would play this I deadass danced to the music when it would start or when it played when it wasn't my turn. So yeah I have no idea why ppl find it eerie
disneys one may be creepy since it resembles a "clown music" and clowns for a lot of people are scary, like something happy that want to actually lure you out with something bad put together to just "look" happy but instead is trying to get you in a dark place.
I feel like the main reason the Scene-It music is so unsettling is because it’s completely directionless. It has no melody, it randomly switches instruments that don’t really blend well together, it just feels like the entire song is constantly clashing with itself.

I am Taiwanese, and the videos from CiaLiu seem to be in Taiwan, where we also speak mandarin. The videos seem to show a few street signs and they are all in traditional Chinese characters, in China they use simplified. the roads and scenery seem very familiar to me as well, since that is the scenery I grew up with. There is even another one of his videos that have the title 「台三」 which is referring to one of the highways in Taiwan. While I myself speak mandarin as my native tongue, it is a bit hard to make out what the woman is saying, however I will note that she sounds a young child to me, especially from the way she is speaking. What I can hear and make out is "No, no. Just take me to the hospital first. It (possibly referring to a wound) became like this because you kept putting pressure on it." At least two other sentences are spoken after this that I can't quite make out.
Based on this guy's channel I think this just a recording of the aftermath of a traffic accident. It's important to note that the verb for "applying pressure/squishing something" is the same as "to run over something" depending on the context. The uploader could have just wanted to mock this woman because he probably saw her as over-reacting, hence the format of the video. Which is very in line "Taiwanese bro" humour. She does however, sound like she is speaking a child, especially in the way she says "hurt hurt" kind of how a kid would say "owchie". Either he thought it was funny that she reverted to a child after the accident, or she may have been an actual child. It is hard to tell due to our voices being softer than most western adults.

Maybe the "humorous" vein could come from the fact that the woman was faking it?

For the Disney Scene It music: it feels like someone was like “oh shit, I have to make a soundtrack for this game and my deadline is in an hour” and then put random shit together and no one questioned it
Got those same vibes. It’s like someone got a bunch of free samples of music background music, stuck them in audacity, and just mixed them around.
I found it more funny than anything, like it some guy’s first attempt in FL studio and just wanted to make a very funky track
The music seems more annoying than scary.
Like it sounds amateur-ish but like scary? Lmao
It has one lietmotif and that's about it.
I’m a sound designer and music producer.
The music in the menu of the “scene it” game seems to be giving a tone of URGENCY like as if the game is waiting for you (or something/someone to do something) from the way the percussive sounds are being played.
You maybe also sometimes hear “tik tok tik tok” like a clock. As if to remind the listeners that time is of importance or is counting down to something.
This can create a sense of unease, especially if there’s no clear visuals for context. Like it’s just counting down, insisting you to do something or to ready yourself for what’s to come.
I've also done sound design and audio engineering. I agree with the sense of "urgency" it conveys switching between scales, changing styles, and from the clock ticking. I still don't think this explains so many comments along the lines of "I'm TERRIFIED" though, that is very strange.
It's gotta be some MKULTRA activation sound. Just kidding. Maybe.
yeah i think that sounds quite accurate.
id say theres also some element of chaos in how random the melody and rhythm gets, along with the lack of context on why its like that i guess, that might bring a sense of confusion.
pairing this with whatever youve provided, such as urgency and limited time, i assume there could be a sense of frustration and overwhelming stress formed within the listener, and if theyre a kid, there may be a chance they can go into a state of emotional breakdown.
its still quite a peculiar case to me though, because of the sheer amount of psychological influence this relatively normal tune seems to have on people.

10:10 So I went to cialiu's channel and watched their videos. From what I can tell, the other videos were filmed in Taoyuan and the titles suggest reckless driving (likely accusing the car that cut in front of the author).
As for the "produce" video in question, the first few frames give it a title of "Wailing -- Bring me to the hospital first". While the lady is a bit hard to understand between the sobs, she definitely is speaking Mandarin Chinese, with a Taiwanese accent. A few phrases I can make out are "no, don't touch him/her/it", "you bring me to the hospital first" and "it is because you ran him/her/it/me over". So if I had to guess, the implication is that the lady's child or pet (and possibly herself as well) was run over by a vehicle in a car accident. It is anyone's guess as to whether the author of the video was involved in the accident, or if they just happened upon the scene, but... Nope, definitely nothing exotic here.
…what the fuck?
@@Barakon I wish I didn't laugh at your simple wtf...

Im assuming they got into a car accident and are panicking for one reason or another, maybe they got picked up by police and are panicking? I doubt they lost a pet or something, it seems a lot more focused around herself IMO.
What I guess is- She got into a car accident and just started panicking
@@elwiwi4638 Well, she clearly used a third person pronoun in the "don't touch" phrase. For those not fluent in Mandarin, "he", "she" and "it" are written differently but all pronounced the same -- as "ta". Try Google Translate if you do not believe me. But I definitely agree that she was panicking.
Maybe he ran over the woman's pet/child over with his motorcycle?
The sound sounds rather happy and normal to me. I was doing math on a whiteboard and wasn't looking at my pc, but when I looked back and saw the background it seemed a bit eerie.
Yeah the background could be a bit spooky with the right music😂, but the song itself isn't scary at all
I think the reason it's actually creepy is because of it mostly being random sounds and tunes thrown in, so it ends up sounding like a weird song.
Ya the song is not scary like more happy then scary
I’m not understanding how anyone’s scared of it lol
Yeah, it sounds completely normal to me!
The first one: the way the person is moving reminds me of the way trauma victims move. Banging ones self against the wall, rocking back and forth, slapping the floor, pulling the hair, wiggling and rotating, hitting ones self with the arms. These sort of zombie-like mindless movements are also seen in animals who are suffering, like tigers pacing, or zoo animals hitting themselves or biting themselves. It's likely an art project but those movements look very much like that type of movement.
That’s not at all why tigers pace. They pace to scent mark.

I have a solid explanation for the menu music. It's in the Lydian mode, the major key with a raised fourth. In the right context it can sound more uplifting than major (i.e Mario Galaxy, Jurassic Park) but it can also be unsettling. Too bright, suspiciously bright. Another example is one of the melodies in "When He Died" by Lemon Demon. So there you go, a solid, non esoteric explanation. I saw someone saying it was "Dissonant"... no, sorry. In fact it's far from it. It's simply in Lydian which sounds slightly more dissonant than major.
EDIT: the lemon demon people have arrived

u should do a video with rick beato together haha. but thanks for explaining
Suspiciously bright was exactly what I was thinking!

I think that "produce" video might be audio of a mother giving birth. The reason I think this is because, as you said, 'produce' can be read in different ways. I think that this might be referring to a mother 'producing' a child. Also, "take me to the hospital" might be referring to the fact that she is giving birth in a suboptimal place which would also explain why it doesn't sound like there is anyone else there. I'm just speculating because I honestly hope this person is ok lol
It might actually just be a chinese woman giving birth at a hospital, why its in that weird format i dont know, and the name is just, produce from a program
That’s exactly what I thought.
Yep, that's what I'm thinking too!
@@TJXD Bro. this comment got ten times more cringe when you asked if they watched anime
The word produce is just the default title the video editing software davinci resolve/filmora gives to the output
My best possible explanation for the menu music is that the constantly changing scale, shift in musical style back and forth from jungly to oceany to broadway type music and etc., and the inconsistent instruments probably just plays on that primal fear of the unknown and unexpected. It’s unintentionally tension inducing because of how unpredictable it is.
Nonsense. It's not creepy in the slightest, it was clearly just kids messing about.
The song is fun, I was literally bobbing my head to it cause of the beat. Idk why people feel creeped out by it lol
What a stretch 😂
It's a fun, bouncy song. I don't get how people are scared of it.
Maybe it’s the same thing as like how some people, myself included, feel unsettled when listening to the SpongeBob end credits song. It’s not really a scary sounding song, but when you’re left alone and after all the fun characters desert the screen and your just left looking at a static background with names, it genuinely starts to feel unnerving.
yeah that's exactly what i'm thinking. the song sounds happy but it's not really meant to be listened to actively, it's meant to be played alongside other elements, not by itself. for me it did sound kinda hollow and lonely, which is what led me to this idea.
I have felt that way for years and have never met someone who felt the same. I used to watch SpongeBob when I was little, usually by myself. The end credits would come on and the song would always make me feel like I'm being watched. It still has that effect to this day, somewhat.
The SpongeBob credits music creeps me out too! Really the only song that unsettles me like that. I don't think the menu music is creepy but I've also never seen it before
Its similar to the liminal spaces. Usually they're happy fun looking places but, out of context it seems sad and empty. That's the vibe I get from the end credits theme, the whole episode is a fun time (or depending on the season, maybe not) but then everyone goes home, and eventually the audio and video fade out to blackness. There's a sort of dread to it, eventually the series is going to end, and we're all going to hear the credits music one last time. Once the song ends, there's nothing after it. It's over, all our friends are gone and they are not coming back.
sorry i got dark
Ah, I actually feel and understand this. It’s so weird what the mind can find unnerving.
From what I can hear, "Produce" might be audio of a woman in a domestic abuse situation. It starts out with her crying, then something unintelligible, and then she says, "Take me to the hospital". She cries some more, and then says, "This is because you smashed/pressed on it." She then says, "Don't pick it up." Person recording might be abusing her, or her kid. I'm using "it" because we don't know exactly what she's referring to. Could be a person, or a body part. He/she/it sounds the same in Mandarin.
Interesting. Maybe it’s the person in the videos of driving? I’ll end up digging into that username and see what appears.
Terrifying...thank you for taking the time through that distressing audio to translate, I hope the mystery can be solved. I really truly hope it's just a clip from a movie or something the guy was watching, and not a real person in distress :(
No she's saying something like her child is stressing her out or smt so it could mean that she's pregnant and is giving birth in the tub,is not about abuse lol
Honestly from this I got the imagery of a woman giving birth. "Pressing on it" could be her stomach and she could be in some place that *isn't* a hospital.
"Don't pick it up" idk. Maybe the baby came out?
@@ripcactusify im thinking maybe it was a traumatic birth (late-term miscarriage?) and that the baby came out dead. she could be screaming from the pain and from grief
as someone who grew up in the 2000s, that scene it music just sounded like any standard game's bg music to me and is even a bit nostalgic... although i do see why some would find it unnerving, if i was a child i think i would be creeped out by it too, it does have that odd vibe to it

I thought the music from the Scene It game was quite groovy, but being reminded that DVD games like that used to be common brought back traumatic memories of a High School Musical DVD game that we had. One of the questions the game would give you would be to name the character that appears on the screen, except their faces had been removed, leaving an almost slender-man resemblance. That freaked me out as a kid but I can't find sources about it anywhere on the internet. Might have made it up in my head, but it seems so vivid.
omg i need to see it
omg i need to see it
Just buy the DVD and check, easy solution.
Reminds me of a similar thing in Nickelodeon Scene It!, only the characters have their bodies edited out so it's just their hair, clothes, accessories, and whatever they were interacting with. It was pretty freaking weird from what I can recall.
Some thoughts on the menu music: I’m drawing on personal experience playing other games, but having grown up in a very high-stress household, something as simple as trying to play a game together as a family would often divulge into people getting overly emotional and bickering.
I can’t think of certain pieces or media from my childhood without feeling bad or sad because of this, so maybe the people who were traumatized by the music may have had a family/friend gaming session with the game go horribly awry, and now they cannot think of the menu music without subconsciously remembering the bad memories.
yes!! it's a cute little tune but it invokes such a stressful feeling inside of me due to "family game night." it sucks. sending u love💖
Yeah, that's the best explanation for this imo because i literally cant find anything wrong with it, myself lmao
That makes a lot of sense actually
really? i listened to the song multiple times, but i didn’t feel anything, but besides “haha funny 00s Disney main menu theme”. i’m not the type of person who’s indulges in nostalgia compared to other people so it was just a funky little tune. though, my family never really did any “game night” nor was it dysfunctional, so it all depends on the individual and their subconscious
The “Disney: Scene It?” music doesn’t seem unsettling to me. A few of the notes seem a bit unfitting, and certain instruments seem like they’re weirdly placed, but other than that it doesn’t seem like there’s anything wrong with the song.
Its honestly kind of a bop
the only haunting thing about it was how quickly it got stuck in your head
maybe that's why? Like an uncanny valley but for music?
To me it feels cacophonic
id play this in the club tbh
14:49 It sounds like something you'd hear while wondering around the hubworld of a video game. Like this would be playing in the background as you go to every npc in hopes they have something offer and go to any of the shops where the keeper would say something like "Hey stranger, I haven't seen you in awhile. We just restock on some stuff. Why don't you have a look around"
I kinda thought it was something I'd find on a Mario game, or some other game by Nintendo
It is exactly what I feeled...
This is exactly what I wanted to say, lol. Feels like pretty generic video game music to me. I'd probably see it in like Ragnarok Online or something.
the disney scene-it song gives a sense of nervous urgency
it's discordant yet upbeat
there's a ticking sound and the beat seems to share that repetition.
it's nervous and peppy and almost desperate.
For those interested, "ferma ludzka" means "human farm", and the white brick like packages with the word "smalec" on them, means "lard".

As a musician, that Scene it music made me think of when I have a bunch of ideas and make them fit together unsuccessfully. Nothing creepy or weird came to me, just some strange avant garde jazz
The fact that kids would find that song creepy is the ACTUAL creepy thing to me, like I cannot think of any reason why anyone would find that creepy or unnerving and every theory I come up with has major creepy pasta vibes lol.
Like what if it’s like a Candle Cove kind of scenario and only kids can hear the REAL creepy music and adults hear normal music xD
Exactly
It's honestly possible considering children have better hearing than adults

@@plaguedoc64 so right, I knew there was another one I was trying to think of thts def it
Just seems like a cheery happy song. It reminds me of when kids tv shows have some music time, and all the characters pick up instruments that require no skill and play them together.
The creepiest part was 20:13 where Goose went "hur-hur" at the exact same time and in the exact same tone as I did.
as a kid, i was definitely unsettled by the scene it music. i remember when i was at a friend's house, it was late at night, and she had left the room to go to the bathroom. i sat in an empty living room with the scene it menu open and i remember feeling really freaked out. i think it depends on age and environment. alone at night with the lights dimmed, yes, it's a little spooky, but in a room full of people you're playing the game with, it doesn't sound weird.
edit: mind you, i am 22 years old n alone in my room late at night writing this comment and it is definitely very... weird. like it's more of a bop now than it used to be, but it's like im waiting for something to happen suddenly, but it never comes. i can understand possibly that it's the dissonance within the music. maybe it's the trauma. who knows
Nah the music gives me light anxiety
i actually kinda like it, now and back then

I remember when I was terrified of the Ice Age credits as a kid. I would hide behind the recliner to get away from the uncanny sketchings of characters mixed with the music. The scene it entry reminded me of that.
Hell the scene of Manny looking at the cave drawings freaked me tf out when I was a child also when they were sliding past all the frozen aquatic animals freaked me tf out
I remember being terrified of the Weekend at Bernie's 2 end credits, with Bernie falling into the frame on a black backdrop.
I was 7 at the time.
That entire movie has a weird energy
I was like that but with Monster House's ending and credits
About the SceneIt music, this is the first time I heard it and at surface level it does feel like another one of those jaunty, and let's just say child-friendly music. But I definitely feel that there's something off about the way it sounds.
Like... I can't really describe it easily with words, but imagine an intact egg shell with nothing in it. The instruments sounds like it's trying to be a layer of _something_ and yet there isn't anything to be layered on. (EDIT: what I was trying to say is, the music sounds *hollow.*) It's also got this off-tempo feel to it, and overall it somehow tries _too_ hard to sound happy.
Holy shit guys, we found the uncanny valley of music.
yeah, i was hearing it for the first time too. it does sound eerie, but for me it kind of gives the vibe of a mickey mouse serial killer playing music that approaches closer to the closet you're hiding in. i'm autistic lmao, i don't rlly know how my brain works or what i'm talking about, that's just kinda what i got from it
I don't hear anything creepy in it, but I do agree with the hollow feel. To me it sounds like the maker of the music struggled with the program or just didn't have enough time to make it smoother, resulting in this rough draft audio.
Sounds like a good metaphor for the disney corporation for the past 10+ years, jaunty and child friendly but somehow just off and hollow inside without substance
I think reason people could find a song creepy, is because of how jolly, like it’s to good to be true/trusted. Kind of similar to “it’s a small world”. Personally I like this song
Taiwanese audience here, I went to the "produce" video myself and I think I can provide a little translation about the clip you played at 10:38 she said something sounds like
他意思是被你壓到會這樣啦 "he means it got like this cuz you put pressure on ( or press/crush) it"
or
他也只是被你壓到會這樣啦 "he got like this just cuz you put pressure on ( or press/crush) it"
In the original video, she also said 你先帶我去醫院啦! "Take me to the hospital first!" and other speeches are basically just her crying. As for the original channel's other videos, they are just recordings of the person's own experiences of other bad drivers he encountered on the road. The 惡意逼車 means "tailgating on purpose" So, according to those other videos, I suppose this "produce" is more like a voice recording of a car accident, the sound of traffics though little but still can be heard in the background, I think it's an accident happened late at night. The speculations I made are purely based on the audio, I don't really know why this person made a video like this, hope this helps.
Oh man. Thanks for this.
the title could also possibly be some sort of mistranslation? not entirely sure what the intended title was, but just some food for thought.
@@the-postal-dude no, in the original video from cialiu at around 2:20 she did say "you take me to the hospital first"
@@atsaichu no, i meant the title "produce"
Someone said she may be a woman giving birth and she is in a lot of pain. And "produce" may be a poor English translation for "giving birth". I can't figure out why there's traffic noises. So maybe this man is a father now.
the song just feels liminal in a way. It coveys the same feeling of being a little kid and waking up in the middle of the night to hear the tv in your siblings room down the hall, it’s just loud enough to make noise but not loud enough to fill the void of silence while everyone else is asleep. It’s upbeat but with nothing there but text and a slightly shifting background it’s just eerie as fuck.
Uuuhh yea
Accurate, I have a nose for stuff like that. I tear up when something trips my gut feeling for fear and this got them flowing
For Goose’s weird experiment: I feel like this song was made by some intern who lied during a meeting and said, “yeah, I can make the music.” I also kinda feel nostalgic for it, because I swear I played that version of Seen It once.
After watching the segment: I do kinda remember being scared of that game because I usually hated things having to do with the Tv. It is a really off tempo and I’m pretty sure it is in some weird time signature (something like 3/4 or 6/8 instead of the usual 4/4.) children don’t usually like songs that are random and that change a lot. It has a lot of unnatural and strange sounds that just pop out of nowhere.
i think the reason that the disney menu music seems so unsettling is because of how random and off key it sounds at certain parts of the song, which can be quite unsettling in certain circumstances
So for the "Scene It" music, my first thoughts were just "Dissonance", because well, it's dissonant. It's the juxtaposition of the cheery and happy beat/melody with the misplaced dissonant chords is what probably unnerves or scares people. It's a very "unnatural" and harsh sound that doesn't match with the overall vibe of the song. Also most kids probably aren't listening to music that uses dissonance since it isn't something that kid's or family media would normally use, therefore it would sound "scary" to a kid. idk if I'm using dissonant in the proper way musically speaking but hey, that's what came to mind.
I don't really hear the dissonance tbh. Though I know what you mean, the song is very much all over the place as to create an adventurous feeling
Also it's a midi, I feel like that contributes to it. I could recognize that music box soundfont anywhere
Since children can hear higher pitches, I wonder if it sounds more dissonant to younger people. I felt a slight "off-ness" in the tone - reminded me a little of the Petscop opening music - and perhaps people who can hear a different set of sounds would get that impression more strongly?
yeah that tritone in the middle of that main motif is certainly …. A choice
As someone who grew up on video games, I think I was personally used to dissonant music. So I guess that explains why it doesn't really phase me at all.
For the feelings of the song, it sounds like a typical kid friendly song, more or less, but at one point it did seem a bit like a marching boot camp song which was interesting. Idk if it has the same theme to something else more diabolical, just sounded like a mix of instruments to make a child-friendly jam.
Edit: As to how I felt mostly neutral, somewhat happy at different parts. Skeptical/intrigued at some parts (marching drums), but that may be because of watching the rest of the content before the experiment.
THATS HOW I FELT TOO
I didn't get some special feeling from it or anything. Not really. I did find it weird though that whenever I try to remember the song I get something different each time.
it might say "howling, take me to the hospital" because it could actually be a woman howling "take me to the hospital". it does sound like a woman going into labour and begging to be taken to the hospital
that disney scene-it music literally had me dancing in my computer chair lmao. it's so cute
As someone who was one a kid scared of the dumbest things, I think I might know (or at least have an idea) of why kids were scared of that song. I think it might have something to do with the background. More specifically, the color choice of the background and the complete blackness behind the purple micky heads.
When you played the clip, I wasn't really paying attention to the screen since I played this video while doing dishes. I actually really liked it, then looked at my phone screen and audibly went "Oh.". At first I thought the color choice felt out of place for something of the Disney property, since they usually use a warmer color palette for these kinds of things. But once I thought about it, I realized it exactly what it was. The lack of vocals and the complete black background. The combination of no vocals plus the ominous background might create a since of loneliness, especially for a child.
Exactly! I think it would belong more in a racing game than this
I think ur right about the background. I also think it is tied to those who are freaked out by it due to it being on In the background maybe over night or something while a thing happened..maybe a nightmare or a tap on a window...so it's tied to that. Mix that with a child's imagination...and u might have the answer lol. But personally...I see 0 wrong with the song.
i might add that from a musical perspective, the melody starts with F-G-A-F-B-C, further on transposed to Bb-C-D-Bb-E-F. Both F-B and Bb-F are tritones (augmented fourths), a pretty dissonant interval to use flat out melodically like that. It was generally avoided back in medieval music. Tho it makes sense in theory the way it's applied, it sounds somewhat unresolved the way it holds the B in the strong beat (thus emphasising the augmented fourth) and the C (which is supposed to be the resolution) is in the weak beat. This might not mean nothing but a very quick fix to the melody would be using the F-B (vii° chord for C major) as a secondary dominant (meaning you're in a tonality and use another tonality's dominant to emphasise the original tonality's dominant), so in this case the first note is F, you accept you're in F major, use the B as a dominant to C, which can then be a dominant to F so, in practise:
TLDR - put the first note of the initial melody after the last note so there's a satisfying resolution.
Wow. You really dug up some repressed memories with that Scene it music. Here's why I found it so unnerving: At the time my family and I played it, I was very young and had never watched the nightmare before Christmas. I didn't even know what it was. And this game included clips and still frames from the film without any context, which frightened me. If I'm not mistaken, this song and a few others like it would play while the timer counted down before revealing the correct answer and introducing the next question. During the countdown, I would dread having to see the next clip/image, out of fear it would be from the nightmare before Christmas, or some other movie I found scary.
I feel so sick to my stomach abt the produce audio the only thing I can imagine is a mother on her knees wailing to take her child to The hospital by Maybe an abusive partner who “crushed him” (another comment said something she said translates roughly to that) while she went to get produce while an older child or neighbor records. Absolutely heart retching.
That disney scene-it music gives me the same feeling that I'd get from, like, being in a super safe situation but my cat is aggressively staring and shying away from some random empty spot near me. The feeling of happiness and content with slight confusion and unnerve underlying it y'know? I think most people are scared by it because of how random the sounds are, but I'm not sure.
Amateur musician here! The reason why you feel like this is probably because of the occasional out of tune sounds. It’s generally pretty happy except the notes with the hypothetical cat. I’m pretty sure that the creators had no ill will though!
(Again, I am an amateur, so take my words with a grain of salt)
yeah it does sound very random and not like a whole, rhythmical melody
The song sounded soo good but I was getting goosebumps while listening to it
From a music theory standpoint, even though I don't find the Scene-It music creepy, I think the reason so many kids did was because of how empty it sounds. There's no clear prevailing melody and it really seems that only 1-2 instruments play at a time intermittently in small bursts especially segments of purely percussion. There's no consistency, it isn't the grand and full music that is usually associated with Disney. Chances are it left kids looking for more in the song and their imaginations carried out the rest.
The only thing "scary" about the song is the menu itself containing alot of void in the background and that there are commen "off notes".
Yeah that's the conclusion I came to as well. I think people are mostly creeped out by the menu itself rather than the music. I mean the menu isn't super scary to me but I can see how a little kid might find it creepy.
My first impression was that while I was listening, it felt as if something wrong was happening. I was going somewhere dark. I would not call it scary or horrifying, just a little bit disturbing. Not sure why... Of course the off notes were probably the reason.
For the Disney Scene it song, I have to agree with the comments in the video. Strangely theres nothing wrong with it, even with the visuals. But yes it's strangely unnerving. Like it sounds offputting, And just to be really attentive to details the song has this steady beat which feels as if it's anticipating something unexpected. It has this sort of awkward silence to it. And those mickey siliottes? They're rendered so dark and dim it's like something will jump out from the spaces in between. But man I love harmless childhood scares like these. Similar to something like reboot the cartoon I guess. It's most likely the super dark colours and really somehow passive aggressive music. Well I hope my explanation helps.
The song had some light, springy, jaunty, almost happy or cheery bits, but a few times it almost sounded like it was doing that thing where a song shifts a few notes into a negative key to give the listener a sense of unease. A few times I felt anxious listening to it, partly because it felt really disjointed, like it almost had a catchy little tune, but then it shifts into something else entirely, but then doesn't linger on the new tune either, just giving the track a non cohesive, ever changing vibe.
15:45 it really sounds like music in a Disney ride, like when the ride stops while ur in the middle of it and you sit in the same room for a few minutes as the music continues to play. Like it’s just the normal music but ur not supposed to hear it go on for this long. Not scary actually pretty nostalgic for me because I basically grew up at Disney
It reminded me of animal jam, 10/10.
The song reminded me a lot of the ""generic"" music one could find in Pause or Main Menu Screens in licensed games, specially for the PS2, you know like those tie in games from disney and pixar movies and other similar games. While i would admit that hearing it in this video felt a bit unnerving, i think it was probably because i couldn't avoid feeling a bit suggested by the possibility that mayybe some weird spooky thing would happen in the song, but by itself i don't find it particularly weird or anything
Generic is absolutely the way I would describe it too. Soulless, almost royalty free esque sounding music put there just to fill out the void with something. Not particularly 'creepy' for me, just...odd at worst, kinda forgettable and off key at best.
@@fbmb1337 I think it has a sora empty feeling to it probably because it's just bland and unfocused.
I never heard the menu music at all but I can see myself waking up in the middle of the night my family all asleep and listening to this in the dark and feeling unsettled
The 'Scene It' music just sounds like it was made by someone with no musical background messing around with software. My wild guess is that the project had a tiny budget and a programmer or marketing director did it themselves. These games were made during an era where commissioning a contractor or finding royalty free music online was less straightforward or well-known as options
i feel like alot of the creepiness that comes from these old dvd menu songs is the fact that alot of the time they would just be left to play over and over again.
I can kind of explain why the "Scene it" music is "scary". Now to little kids some stuff like that song can just be scary to little children. Like it just feels unnerving. Take those "Sneak peak" 2000s DVD menu music (The ones that have that "woosh" sounds, yk what I'm talking about if you owned a Disney DVD in the 2000s) songs, they just sound unnerving to younger kids. Not to mention it's on repeat until the DVD player/game console is turned off. Now myself I wasn't scared of the scene It music as a kid, I thought that "Disney DVD sneak peak" was just unnerving for me as a kid.
Exactly, or the pressure that comes along from needing to do a task in a specific about of time before something happens could also play a part in it. That’s why I hated those Sneak Peak Disney things.
When i was little i was scared of the universal intro, i was afraid that some sort of big monster or whatever was going to spin around the earth like the universal logo

@@vomerconch9795 This honesty reminds me of SpongeBob credits in DVDs, when the entire episode set on a DVD is over and plays that credit music in SpongeBob. Always unnerved me (Especially when I was alone)
Interesting theory. In the same vein as you're describing I was *deeply* unsettled by the transition "dun-dun" in Law&Order when I was a lot younger, so given the right circumstances I can see how it might wind up messing with people's heads
For the Disney scene it section. I belive he's on spot with the unresolved trauma. Because I also experience an irrational fear of the classic minecraft music. Makes me nervous and on edge. Anything could do that if it's tied to an unfortunate childhood. You might not even realize it because it's subconscious, exactly like when you smell a certain smell and it gives you nostalgia but you can't find out why.
I didn't think the menu music was very good but in no way scary, maybe a little discordant which maybe freaky to some people who knows.
Its not scary, you are right. but for some reason when I listened to it, it made me feel really nauseous and a bit dazed. The dazed part being "how did I forget this was a thing" and the nauseous part I'm still not sure.
@@lobster6944 I think that nauseous feeling may have just been placebo. Never underestimate what your mind can trick you into believing.

The Disney Scene It? Main Menu song gives me feelings of unsettlement, but not in a scary or terrified way, more so in a confused way. It just leaves me bewildered and a little weirded out, especially with the sporadic mix of instruments, because to me, the song both sounds and feels like it was very haphazardly cobbled together, or maybe even left unfinished. I felt a little surge of anxiety at the very beginning, but I mainly think it was because of my own mind faking myself out and thinking there was going to be more to it. In conclusion, it sounds a little creepy, but mainly invokes thoughts of "this is it? this is really what they settled on?"
ikr. like a "wtf" moment
Agreed. It’s a mess. I can see how that would be unsettling for kids though, music doesn’t normally sound like that and pairing it with Disney is especially strange.
I felt the exact same thing at the beginning.
Same
@Aidan Pendergast I was gonna say how it sounds like a great value version of final fantasy or Kingdom Hearts victory song
its weirdly validating to know that the scene-it music was terrifying to other people and it wasnt just child me having another undiagnosed autism and sensory issues moment over nothing
When i was young my parents used to argue a lot, I would often hear them crying and shouting at each other, it honestly left me terrified. At that time i had just got smash bros brawl on the wii and played it a lot. When i heard my parents shouting i couldnt help but try to listen, so i would often pause my game and go back to the main menu. Sometimes my brain replays those memories, and a lot of the time they are accompanied with that song. Its not scary at all obviously but now when i hear it im immediately reminded of how terrified i was back then. Wondering if a similar thing is behind the "main menu" mystery
From what I can hear from the 'Produce' video, the woman can be heard saying 'I don't want it/to', something along the lines of something being pressed on and 'don't carry him/her'? It's a bit mumbled due to her crying but either way, it definitely sounds like she's in a pretty precarious position.
the song sounds weirdly nostalgic
i think the reason it would freak out so many kids is because it's in lydian, something i've seen someone else point out
lydian has an interval which is very dissonant when played against the first note of the scale (a tritone, used in a lot of music for the purpose of being dissonant), which is used quite a bit in the song
when used right, lydian is mystical or very cheerful (like the simpsons theme is, which is written in lydian), but it might be just an over emphasis on the tritone that might have unnerved a lot of kids i guess? just a little guess
Yea that lydian freaks me out...
The song itself for me isn't creepy, but it does make me uncomfortable, disoriented for some reason, its so chaotic.
Btw, happy birthday goose and continue that elden ring grind :D
I think it might actually be the background, just the darkness behind the mickey heads, the weird shadowing, and slow falling heads. That might be what triggered our fear monkey brain
Could be the Placebo effect maybe?
Even then for chaos, it's pretty calm, like it isn't just a mess of music, each genre gets its own bits, sure it's a bit too short, but it's somewhat organize
@@GG-lk4xf I was listening to the audio without the imagery so it really wasn't the background making me unnerved, but I can't deny that mickey is one scary little rat 😂
This is exactly what I think as well. I wrote a comment here that compares it to Frank Zappa or The Residents, and those people are known for creating incredibly chaotic, strange and ever shifting musical pieces. I think that style of writing might just get under people's nerves if they don't know much about the topic.
I have a theory about the song,
the song itself is really random, you can hear the theme switches from 14:52 to 15:14 to 15:21 to 15:34 to 15:44 . Maybe the switches were too overwhelming for a kid to listen to, I can imagine myself as a kid to be unsettled by the song
the song is actually fine, though it sounds empty like it's a demo version. i think the visuals are the problem. people already said it, but i agree that dark colors and crawling shadows of whatever can scare a child. the design of the main menu just doesn't seem friendly enough to me
The song is like walking down an empty hallway in Walt Disney World, like supposed to be happy but is liminal in a way and a little bit creepy. Like an abandoned attraction there that is covered by a plain and sterile coloured curtain something that the cast members don’t want you to see whether it’s creepy or not.
In what way is it a limen?
@@symbiote1982pk I meant that it invokes a similar feeling to when you look at or imagine an image of a “Liminal space”, as in the internet aesthetic/ genre of photos and art works, in that it gives you a similar eerie but also nostalgic feeling to viewing/ interacting with them. I know it means something different in psychology and I don’t think that both concepts are necessarily related in any way, I myself do not know much about the psychological phenomenon/concept as I do the aesthetic of “Liminal Space(s)” popularized online, that is also connected to the horror genre.
honestly the menu music was pretty chill , although at some points where the notes get higher and higher i can get how that could invoke some stress into someone
Honestly, whatever bobnface is, it’s a really cool piece of art regardless. On its own it’s a cool example of early abstract digital or pixel art, and it could double as a killer album cover tbh.
I kind of liked the "Scene It" song. I honestly love cheap sounding MIDI music like that. There is something endearing about it. Those people that had issue with it are probably leaving out the part how playing "Disney Scene It" with their family just so happened to end in a screaming argument where Mom and Dad decided on getting a divorce.
lol
LOL wtf
I just came back to this comment got a notification and I’m dying of laughter still at it. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
This comment went from 0-100 real quick lmao
That escalated so quickly.
That music has a level of "Anticipation", almost like you are waiting for something to happen. It's not scary, but it's more like... Being in line for a movie.
I love your theory!
I feel that the "Scene it" part was just scary to kids because of the same reason kids were scared of the PS2 red error screen. A random dark liminal space with moving shapes and random sounds/music accompanying it. Heck, if I saw that at night, it'd scare me and I'm an 18 year old with a love for horror, gore, online mysteries, etc.
I agree, I don't think it's the music but the menu screen. Darker colors and moving dark shadows could scare some kids.
bro i thought i was the only one scared at the ps2 red error screen💀 i now feel less bad about myself, that shi honestly disturbing especially when you're alone
I won't lie, the menu theme for Disney Scene-It was kind of a blast from the past for me. I remember playing this game quite a bit with my parents and grandparents over a decade ago. I believe I got it as a Christmas gift mostly due to how into the original version of the game I was, and the fact that my parents felt the original was too inappropriate for me at the time. I think I was like, 9 or 10 at the time so they were right to an extent. I never felt fear from the menu song that I can recall (the original Scene-It themes were more unnerving to me, iirc), but upon rehearing this theme, I do see how some may have found it scary or unnerving as children. I hadn't thought about Disney Scene-It in so long, so it was a bit of a surprise to see it be talked about all these years later.
I had played that Disney Scene It game pretty often as a kid with my siblings. Never did it strike me as creepy, however, that music was accompanied with the countdown timer. I think its just association with the feeling of building pressure and stress from counting down your final moments before getting a question potentially wrong. When I heard the music I immediately remembered the stress I felt of trying to think but being overwhelmed by that exact music. I think that's why people feel unsettled by it.
Fun fact for the people who are too lazy to do it themselves: the other cialiu motorcycle videos are called something like malicious driving, speed test, speed, GTR1400 vs touring car...sounds like the person was up to no good
Also, if you watch the produce video for youself, there's an intro reel or something like that, and it has some Chinese words. At first I thought it's just some stuff you must have if you don't pay for premium or something. But the title can be translated to "howling" (like she's being mocked) and the description below to something like "you take me to the hospital first". The image distorts more as the video goes on. I feel like this was purposefully made to be disturbing, wether it was for a joke or something worse, since all the videos got uploaded really close to one another, and none were uploaded ever since.
Edit: since this is most likely a traffic accident, and considering the malicious nature of the video, I have a theory. I don't know how possible this is, but it's the best thing I could come up with.
Maybe the driver somehow hit a woman (or maybe someone who was with a woman) with their stupid motorcycle while trying to film another video, hurting both the woman (or as I said, someone else) and themselves, but not causing any lethal damage. Perhaps the woman's arm was broken, something like that. She demanded the driver to take her to the hospital. The driver got very salty and wanted to humiliate the woman in some way, making a video titled "Howling" (or in this context "Wailing"). The description might have been a nicer version of "Take you to the hospital? Bitch you take me to the hospital first!"
Tbh i think so too. It makes much more sense than the weird pregnancy stretch. The channel does not look like an ARG at all, putting a weird english word that can be barely related to pregnancy (and is also what an editing program uses to name videos) as a title for a video where the sound doesn't resemble a hospital at all doesn't make sense. A traffic accident by some cocky asshole seems more plausible
I always had a weird fear of the Disney Scene-It game, or any DVD/Board game for that matter.
Yes, I owned Disney Scene it as a kid, and the music was unsettling. I owned other DVD/Board games and they all unsettled me. I like to think it was the pause in between answering questions, the dead silence that followed after, it was normally just me playing them with my parents as a kid, and sometimes they'd step out for a smoke or whatever, and I'd just play random questions while I waited, and just being by myself, alone, in the living room, at night, dead silence...it unnerved me.
If you want an unsettling song from a DVD-ROM game, do the Lady and the Tramp board game. The song that played before questions traumatized me.
THIS. OH MY GOD THIS. IM GLAD SOMEONE ELSE KNOWS THE FEELING. THE MUSIC AND THEN THE SUDDEN JARRING SILENCE
If jarring silence is followed after then that would make sense alongside the described atmosphere. I’ve definitely felt that playing alone at night after all my friends left the Xbox party as a kid. The feeling of being alone in pure darkness minus the buzzing light of the TV. That made sense.
i had the same thing with dvd movies
that weird pause in audio after you click something.. damn
The jazzy one with the saxophone and the trombone? It doesn’t sound too scary to me
omg me too I hate most dvd games because of this! (except TLK that gets a pass)
14:08 it sounds pretty upbeat to me! But I remember when I was younger dvd title screens kinda made me uneasy. Maybe it was because there was no other noises except for the tv. Also, the repeating at some parts could be a reason it’s unnerving. I don’t know. But I’m sure if I was hearing that on my tv in my room when I was younger, I would feel a bit uneasy.
The song sounds quite happy and jolly to me, albeit a bit goofy and disjointed but it's nice. It reminds me of a youthful and jovial band of inexperienced music class students practicing. It definitely brought a smile to my face.
To me the music sounds like a bunch of intros or interludes strung together in a haphazard way. It does give me an eerie feeling because it sounds like it's never actually starting or ending. I think the way the music is composed is what creeps out most people because it gives you an unsettled feeling like a auditory version of being trapped and not allowed to leave.
That Disney song makes me feel genuinely uneasy. It reminds me of the feeling of emptiness you get when you're waiting on someone to come play a game that they said they'd play with you, but they're still on the phone in another room, so you just have to sit there and wait for them to be done. I can imagine that was many people's experience, accompanied by that awful music on loop.
as a kid, a lot of totally innocuous stuff would creep me out. the stuff itself was innocent enough, but the common thread is that to me it felt weirdly liminal. like playing video games alone in the living room at night. stuff like that. so maybe the people scared of that disney music had a similar experience?
the best comparison i can think of is how a lot of people talk about being creeped out by minecraft as a kid.
omg you are so right about the playing a game alone one!! even roblox is so weird when you play alone at night
it's like everything is too open. i can't see and i have so many blind spots where stuff could be and i don't even know because everything is wide open
This Disney menu music sounds like something Xploshi would use unironically for their horror animations.
A bit of it makes me think of the Honeypop ost.
The song: it’s pretty cute, made me feel happy and nostalgic but a little anxious because of the setup. The chords are a little dissonant and the sound is jumbled so I can see why kids would be freaked out a bit.
I don't find the music particularly scary. I think any "unnerving" vibe i get from it just comes from knowing other people find it scary. I think if you're scared of something as a kid, no matter how irrational, that fear stays with you as an adult. I was horrified by the walk cycle scene in the lost spongebob episode, and I still find it creepy to this day, but I think if I saw it for the first time today I wouldn't think anything of it
The walk cycle would sometimes randomly play on the Flemish Nickelodeon channel, not even the entire episode leading up to it. In the beginning I thought it was scary but eventually I warmed up to it
@@NovaMenno I found it scary in context. I'd shit myself if it came on without warning
that walk cycle was hilarious
For the main menu entry, it reminds me of good times, where i was staying at my moms house. Times where I would wake up to the peaceful sounds of various dvd menus. (Well as peaceful as the daria dvd menu can be-) but it also reminds me of the silence of the dvd menus. The characters on screen staring at you, smiling. Being very still. In a pitch black room with only you and the tv in it. As a kid, it freaks you the fuck out. This is what causes my fear of the dark and extreme amounts of silence actually. So overall the song to me has a sinister undertone behind it, but that’s due to what i was exposed to as a young lad.
the song doesn't sound that bad, it just feels like a thing you'd hear after being freaked out by something unrelated but it's still playing and doesn't help at all while you're panicking
Woof, hearing the Disney Scene It music again after so long hit me with the weirdest feeling. I too can confirm that the game left me with a sense of unease as a kid. This particular menu song wasn't really too bad, what got to me was the countdown music they'd play that was accompanied by that classic movie spinner with the numbers counting down.
I personally have always been creeped out by DVD menus since I was little. Something about the looping music that will abruptly cut off when you make a selection, a brief silence, and then quickly snapping to a new page with new looping music just always felt unsettling. I feel like with the Disney game in particular, the fact that the game didn't really have a cartoon host or anything and entirely relied on how you were playing on your board game felt a little odd. It was like having this ominous overly-happy music pop in and out on your tv in the background while you tried to play a regular board game.
Again it's hard to explain, but I almost relate it to the uncanny valley but with technology. VHS tapes weren't ever interactive, and digital stuff now loads instantly and is easily adjustable and interactable with. DVDs were kind of that middle ground where they really wanted to test the bells and whistles of the new technology before it could be truly refined, so the stilted menu interactions and the music cutting in and out can be off-putting to some. I'd compare it to that of early cheap animatronics, where the tech couldn't replicate real interaction, leaving some people feeling a sense of unease, especially when the artificial friendliness is cranked up to a 10.
Good to know I'm not the only one that always found DVD menus just... unsettling, eerie. Usually quiet, sometimes with a cheap looping track, always static, with that abrupt transition to a scene select or something.
It really was uncanny.

It’s low key cool to open the comments and see all kinds of people from different nationalities that have different hobbies/knowledge explaining stuff
i think the woman is asking where her child is (i speak chinese)
replying so this gets boosted

UP UP UP
What dialect/language is it?
Uppp
I remember owning and playing Disney Sceneit, but I don't recall ever being scared of anything about it. The music sounds like average, kid like video game music. Also, glad to see this series back! Love it!
The song definitely sounds just straight happy and simple, but I do feel like there’s a “somethings about to happen” kind of quality to it.
I don’t know music so I can’t explain what it is that makes it sound that way, but I think it’s the main jingle that repeats is what makes it feel like something is gonna show up and scare you.
If I heard this as a kid I would definitely be unsettled. Like you’re ready to press the play button as fast as possible just to get away from the screen.
It’s reminds me of a Smokey the bear commercial that I was terrified of. One with dancing matchsticks. The music was all jingly, and then it ended with the Smokey the bear face slowly fading in. So that’s the same feeling I get with this song
15:49 OST for old flash game or android game from 2011-2013
The song reminds me of one of my younger siblings trying out all the default settings on their electric piano. Silly and chaotic but definitely not scary. Sounds like music the composer just slapped together for a dumb kids game.
While this particular dvd music isn’t “creepy” to me, I feel like it does have the same qualities as other dvd menu music throughout the 2000s I DID find creepy. It’s hollow, void of true emotion, and probably repeats over and over. The 2000s I was a teenager/ early adult, and used to fall asleep all the time watching a movie, and the dvd menu music would eventually play over and over until it seeped into my dreams and woke me up. While I can’t think of titles right this second off the top of my head, I DO remember during that time period that I thought it was crazy how often I would find a dvd with just flat out weird music that got weirder as it repeated itself. I also remember thinking that DVD production companies were purposefully doing this for some reason, but by that point the DVD/Blu Ray industry was taken over by streaming services, so the issue never came up again. Instead of maybe focusing on this particular DVD’s menu music, maybe just dig around for creepy dvd music in general and see what crops up. I firmly believe that this is not an outlier.
I cite the scene it menus in particular as really creepy, the atmosphere and everything about it scare me. The void feels eternal, the best way over the years of me trying to describe the fear is it feels like it's all I'll see after death, that I'll be stuck in a limbo with omnious music and things such as that.
I was literally dancing to it…💀
I've never played Disney Scene It and and ive had limited interactions with DVD menus, at least not since my childhood as an early millennial and I really agree with this sentiment. Hearing the music made me really anxious and uncomfortable as it kept playing. The best theory I can think of is that with something like video game menu music for example that's something that's going to be needed and understood as part of the entire game creation and the music is made specifically for that component of the game from the start where as DVD menu music is probably gonna be an after thought so instead of buying the rights to a random song for the DVD release potentially years after the original movie was made a simple looping track would've been made for the menu in most cases. It kind of brings to mind to me the same feeling as a phone ringing but nobody answering it. This is also probably why I reacted this way, as the last time i heard a menu screen song that played for this long everyone would jump for the remote to turn off the annoying low-effort looping song lol I guess to hear it just left the residual anticipation for the audio to change when it never does.
When I was younger my cousins were (and still are) huge Disney fans, whenever we would play this I deadass danced to the music when it would start or when it played when it wasn't my turn. So yeah I have no idea why ppl find it eerie
disneys one may be creepy since it resembles a "clown music" and clowns for a lot of people are scary, like something happy that want to actually lure you out with something bad put together to just "look" happy but instead is trying to get you in a dark place.
I feel like the main reason the Scene-It music is so unsettling is because it’s completely directionless. It has no melody, it randomly switches instruments that don’t really blend well together, it just feels like the entire song is constantly clashing with itself.
