would really like to see you check out vylet pony and phemiec! they're fanartists for mlp and homestuck respectively. vylet pony genuinely makes some of the best mlp fanmusic out of there so ill vouch for her especially
There is a cut song from the Lorax movie called biggering. A lot of the cut songs from the movie completely change the theme of the movie but I feel like biggering is the most obvious especially when the took parts of the song to make how bad can I be. Even some of the small changes between versions where in how bad can I be the onceler says “who cares if a few trees are dying” while in biggering he says “who care if a few things are dying”. Implying that he knows that his actions are affecting the environment and not just the trees. They cut essentially the entire beginning to the song where the onceler is talking about all the things he “needs” while the Lorax is trying desperately to make him see reason and to realize the consequences of his greed. They also changed the instrumentals and genre (I think that’s the right word) from what I can only describe as rock opera with power cords and vocals to the ear worm pop that was in the final movie. This ends up changing how we perceive the onceler even more where the final onceler comes off as someone who just didn’t know better and was pressured into it by the people around him while the og onceler was definitely more of a villain and the music reflected that. It’s easily one of my favorite songs and pretty funny to hear the difference. Edit: someone else pointed out how how bad can I be is the story the onceler is telling the kid while biggering is what actually happened which I thought was a very apt comparison
I would love an analysis of Blue vs You’re Welcome from Heathers I feel blue is a silly, stupid song that fit Kurt and Ram’s characters better, but I would love to see you make a musical and character comparison about that
Oh I know why the Discord song sounds too rushed! It's because the version heard in the video (and also, the one that got extremely popular) it's a Remix by The Living Tombstone. The original version is by Eurobeat Pony and the vocal are slower (or rather, the vocals are normal and the TLT is sped up).
The way I got excited when I realised you were reacting to me and the way my heart sank when I saw what you were reacting to. xD Ad Infinitum is divisive, by design almost. It's written to be intentionally overwhelming, as the character is the personification of spam, pop-up ads and malware, I tried to mirror is fast paced, non-stop and non-sequitur style of dialogue in the lyrics. It's definitely one for people with the context and I can see why it's off-putting, I always knew that'd be the case for a lot of folks. I wanted the song to feel like you were in his boss battle, fending off his onslaught of attacks whilst also being sort of a not-quite patter song. You can be assured, this is not how I normally write/perform, it's a character piece! It's always awkward when folks choose this one as their first of mine to take a look at because it definitely sets a tone that does NOT carry into the rest of my work, lol. All the same, thanks for taking a look! I'm sorry you didn't vibe with it!
First of all, imagine my surprise waking up to this! Thank you for taking the time to watch my video! Secondly, please don't feel the need to apologize! Judging by the comments, it seems Ad Infinitum has many fans. I understand its a character piece, and I do have to say there were some impressive rhymes in there. I just don't vibe with hyper-stimulating songs is all. I would be happy to check out other songs of yours. Sounds like a future video or stream!
Preach! So glad you came in to clear up the confusion. The entire segment was really wishing they either knew the context, or reacted to another fandom song like Art of Darkness.
I'm not an expert on MLP or anything but I'm pretty sure "Discord" is the name of tge goat thing that appears on the thumbnail and he was an agent of chaos, the song must be talking about him specifically
Yeah your right, but Discord is the spirit of chaos, he cannot survive or live without chaos, when you first meet him his whole goal is to bring chaos and no structure to their world
In defense of Ad Infinitum, the stated intention is that it is SUPPOSED to sound like sensory overload. The character it's based on is the living embodiment of pop-up spam. Whether or not that being intentional actually matters, I'll leave up to you.
If you get the chance, you should watch the animation for lullaby for a Princess. It took two years and it shows. It’s absolutely worth your time, you don’t have to make it a reaction, it’s just an amazing time
Oh btw, the living tombstone did not originally create the song Discord. It's a remix of the song by Eurobeat Brony which has a completely different vibe! it would have been great if you reacted to the original as well
Personally, I like the overstimulation of Ad Infinitum, though I can see how it can come across as overbearing, and I get that when you aren’t working with much of a melody or meter, the rhymes become a lot easier and thus aren’t worth that much. I don’t know, I guess I just enjoy songs that are nonstop chaos.
YEAA BUILD OUR MACHINE! DAgames is one of my favourite bands!! Admittedly Build our machine isnt one of my favourite songs of his, but honestly he's great. In defense of the song, it's much older and DAgames is more metal than anything else lol, which might be the reason why it's not as good in your eyes. The creator (Will Ryan) genrally dislikes his older songs for many of the reasons you state here, and considering all he's really done is metal i guess he was a bit out of his depth. If you want more DAgames stuff, try Cup de grace/Get out for non-metal and Brace for the freight train for metal nerdcore.
I've had a "marathon" of FNAF songs with friends before for some good ol' post-ironic fun and It's Been So Long was surprisingly nice and memorable to me as well. We then listened to the one Living Tombstone made for the fourth game and it was hilarious, i swear it's impossible to understand a single word for a good chunk of it. Fun times.
i really wished you looked at or3o she has (imo) some of the best fandom songs i’ve listened to! she has a really strong voice and she uses it very well. she was monika in just monica by random encounters, she sang final duet the omori song, all eyes on me which i’m pretty sure is bendy and the ink machine? rev up power up (chainsaw man), digital hallucination (tadc), basics in behavior (baldis basics), and a bunch of others! she’s one of my favorite artists and i think she’s really cool just thought if you did this again you should check her out especially final duet or just monica!
For Lydia the bard you have to read the storyline in the below text. Basically she alters the main characters story in all of her songs to create a story where one of the main characters instead becomes a villain, and how and why that came about.
Stupendium has some genuinely really good songs, Ad Infintium is SUPPOSED is be weird and overwhelming, because that’s the purpose of the character he’s portraying!! For a better one I’d maybe recommend’Death and Taxes’, or literally ANY of his other songs that aren’t made to purposefully overwhelm you.
Discord is the name of the character to the right, originally a villain. Literally emobies chaos. (Voiced by John de Lancie, aka Q from Star Trek: Next Generation). This is actually a remix of the song made by Eurobeat Brony. EDIT: Forgot to mention, the original has long instrumentals but, if I remember correctly, they are different and intentionally give the chaos villain vibe.
As a person who experienced many of these fandom songs, is very nice that we got some outside perspectives who set their foot down AND view it in a non-sugarcoating way. You're removing our rose-tinted glasses to let us look at these songs from a less subjective angle. For example, I never noticed Build Our Machine didn't have an instrumental break or any room to breathe. While the song is one of my favorite classic fandom songs, it felt rather overwhelming and a bit tedious. I am very appreciated that you are doing this reaction, and hope that you can continue this, though your Disney, tv show analysis along with song writing lessons are very good as well. (Let's hope the other side of the fandom will not clutch their pearls as you critiqued their nostalgia darlings haha)
I would really like to see you do some more songs! There's better FNAF fan songs that I think better represent it so I would really like a chance to recommend some next time
Have you seen Epic the Musical? It’s an ongoing Tik tok creation that has taken the world by storm. It’s loosely based on the Odyssey and probably one of the coolest things I have seen.
I appreciate you gave each of these an honest shot and happier that you liked a few of them! A lot of these are quite nostalgic for me, but I can admit that they’re not exactly perfect haha Also I’m so happy you liked Lullably for a Princess! I’d highly recommend watching the animation for it as well- it just amplifies the music and storytelling. It’s probably one of the best fanworks I’ve seen.
RED MEANS I LOVE YOU IS A BNHA FANSONG????? WHAT. IT FITS SO WELL W SO MANY FANDOMS AND STANDS ON ITS OWN SO WELL THAT I NEVER NOTICED. Also RIP, It's Been So Long is SOOO high up there in terms of fnaf music, i dont even wanna know how low you'd rank others dhskddj I do say, though, that ever since i discovered "It's Been So Long but with part of Henry's speech because people can't loop the damn song correctly" by the destroyer 2.0, i now feel like the song is Missing Something at the end.
Discord is a villain in my little pony, he is effectively the god of chaos. During his two episodes he uses his powers to chaosafy all of Equestria, this song is the imagined perspective of a person(pony) living through that chaos. Electricity "POV victime of Discord sings a song about his feelins"
On the note of lullaby for a princess feeling shorter than it is, I lisened to it years ago (manly cause I like the animation) and was surprise when you said it was seven minuts because I didn't remmeber it being that long.
A lot of comments are stating that Discord is the character's name. But I figured I'd point out something others aren't. The other lyrics relate directly to his actions in his debut episodes. He made characters act against their usual natures so they were doing things like "sleeping in the middle of a summer afternoon" when they wouldn't usually do that.
May I suggest ‘the moon rises’? It is another MLP song, I know, there’s a lot. This and ‘The lullaby for a princess’ really were my childhood haha, and I feel like they both are similar is a way. (It’s by Ponyphonic as well(ft. Kristen Calvin)) Also if you do watch the animated version the vocals are slightly different.
if you ever do a part 2 to this, i definitely suggest checking out PhemieC’s fandom songs, their lyrics are incredible and filled with so many references. i’d recommend Ugly Story out of their homestuck songs or Guardians from their other albums, though i think a lot of the enjoyment of the songs comes from getting the references in the wordplay
Really enjoyed your reactions to these! I’d love more videos like this or maybe one reacting to official song suggestions? Meaning songs from the medias themselves like my little pony has great songs!
I think it's really funny how many people don't know the origins of the red means I love you because it got so big on tik tok back when it came out. The entire album that song is on is mha fansongs (with the exception of one which is a Sk8 the infinity fansong), and they all hold up really well on their own as well. the red means I love you isn't even the best one in my personal opinion, so if you do another video like this, I definitely recommend checking out some of her other songs on the album.
OMG! Looking at the description before wstching and im so happy one of my suggestions made it in! Ill update this comment after watching :) EDIT - i was that one warrior cats kid everyone knew and you're so right, it goes way too hard on the violence and the family drama for it to be 11 year old reading 😭 im nearly 16 and i know plenty of warriors adults and its my comfort series EDIT 2 - I'm glad you found it servicable! I think the homebrewed sound of blixemis work is what i find comforting but i get it's not for everyone :)
In terms of storytelling ‘I’d Fall Again’ by MilkyMelodies is also fully animated- meaning you might actually get some of the story. It’s another Hazbin Hotel song. Musically I think ‘Wash it Clean’ by Caleb Hyles is probably the best as a softer musical song. It’s very good.
I know you said in the premiere comments about "I like rap WHEN ITS GOOD" (which btw, same, a lot of rap just... isnt it) so I'd be curious what your opinion on the song Money Game Part 2 by Ren is? Fun video overall! Really love your videos :D
I absolutely love fansongs. I'll wholeheartedly second all the recommendations for *PhemieC's* Homestuck songs - they were the artist that introduced me to the very concept of fansongs. You probably won't be able to do them all, but these are all the ones I'd recommend in a rough order: Mary The Gods Must Be Lying A Confession I Am An Island Double Time Ugly Story Our Aftermath Friendleader My Nightmare Leviathan, the Girl Inherit Nothing An Apology Other *Homestuck* song recommendations: *By Horizon* (these are interesting because for the most part they take official music from the comic and put lyrics over the tracks) Pyrocumulus (Kickstart) Flare Three in the Morning (there are two versions of this. Personally, I prefer the original) Sburban Juxtaposition (this one is wholly original, not just the lyrics and vocals) Trollcops Downtime Derse Dreamers Mother (One Year Older) *By totalspiffage* Shut Me Down 8R8K Half Dead and So Alive (Most of their Homestuck songs are parodies, but these are originals) And then a few random ones: Temporal Shenanigans by Rachel Rose Mitchell Your Universe by Marcus Carline Jack and Black Queen by Miss Prince *Genshin Impact songs* Writing on the Wall by Will Stetson (if you only listen to one song from this comment, make it this one) A Realm of Dreams Unforgotten by Reinaeiry Let's Fly! Stories Because of You by Reinaeiry Emberfire by HOYO-MiX (this one is official) A Summary in Sumeru by The Stupendium *Percy Jackson universe songs* ReWrite by Gio Navas Soldatino (Nico's Lullaby) by Paola Bennet Sunshine Boy by Gio Navas *Six of Crows songs* Hard to Kill by Beth Crowley Dirty Hands by Kendra Dantes Brick by Brick by Kendra Dantes Six of Crows by Gio Navas And one I don't have a category for: Open the Sky by The Stupendium (for the video game Stray)
Hey, I was wondering what you think of Rocky's poem at the beginning of Lackadaisy? I don't want to pick on it, because obviously a lot of passion went into producing the indie pilot episode, but I always thought something sounded off and tried to rewrite the lyrics as an experiment before. I never see anyone else point out that it has any issues though.
For the MHA song, It's inspired by a character named Toga, who has a quirk which allows her to morph into a different person when she consumes their blood
Could you do this again? Hell you could do a whole video on Hazbin Hotel songs alone, Avatar the last airbender has its own fan made musical between like ten artists, Warriors has a bunch more songs. Madds Buckley actually did a whole Album for My Hero Academia, red means I love you is just one of the songs. Those are just a few examples, but there is so much to look through.
As someone who knew a good few of these songs I'd say your opinions are very interesting, and if you ever plan to make a part two to this video, i'd love to see you rip into some Derivakat 'Records of the SMP' album (mostly Aint no crying, Revived & Syndicate) as well as 'Voices' (DSMP) Maybe some more Living Tombstone FNAF songs? aswell as CG5's 'Lonely King' and 'Injustice' (also DSMP) Of-course these are suggestions, you don't need to watch any of them, more-so just some cool fan songs that I think you'd find interesting!
ASTOR, if u want to listen to more fan songs I suggest Will Stetson’s songs! They’re a bop! They hv great lyrics, great stroy, melodies, *and* great story behind them that u can understand easily… i think. Also, can u plzzzzz listen to EPIC: the Musical by Jorge Rivera-Herran (correct me if i got anything wrong)? Its abt the Odyssey and i think the songs r pretty great! I rlly would love for u to listen to them.
My entire playlist on Spotify is mainly just Nerdcore music. Some of the best songs I’ve ever heard are Fnaf songs. Thank you for providing a refreshing look at these songs If you want some more to look at, I recommend more of Stupendium. It is not the best to start with probably their most… expressive song. It was it intentional to be like Spamton, in being very in your face and over stimulating. Also check out Sleep Well by CG5, genuinely his magnum opus right now and such a good song
As much as I love both songs, it makes sense that you liked Lullaby For a Princess a lot more than Discord. Discord is very 2010s and really relies on you knowing the show beforehand (Discord being an actual character who causes world-ending chaos that the characters fight). Lullaby for a Princess is closer to a song from a musical, and actually tells you the story (retelling a story from the show, but with a more emotional/personal perspective).
I really appreciate the honesty and straight-forwardness of this video! I do think, however, that as this video gains views, you will get a lot of negative comments. Especially because you rated the Stupendium song (Ad infinitum) so low. This is the first video (or anything) I saw that is negative of his songs and it feels good to know I'm not alone in not liking his song. When people praise his songs they usually just end up praising the production value, and the songs being there are just a bonus. And I agree, the production value is good, but I came for the song not the animation. I listened to like 6 of his songs and none of them were good IMO
oh the stupendium actually uses they/them pronouns btw but yeah i can definitely see that, i used to listen to the stupendium a decent bit back in the day and i enjoyed some songs but i don't really listen to them anymore
This is the problem with jumping into something you aren't the target demographic for with next to no knowledge or context. Your initial reactions are really harsh for practically every song, unless it's in the style of a musical theater ballad. You even completely miss the point of some songs. Not trying to invalidate anything or whatnot, just an observation.
I listen to a wide variety of music. My tastes expand far past musical theater. My favorite genres are actually pop and rock. That being said I was not expecting the amount of electroswing I faced here.
Yeah these critiques are totally fair Do I still love these little bundles of nostalgia? Of course! Am I a little bundle of "cringe edgy fandom menace"? Idk I often feel like making fun of what people like is stupid and just makes them feel bad. I like what I like and idc if others don't
If you’re looking for anymore fandom songs to hear I made a list of some non electro swing ones. DKC: Return to Krocodile Isle by Alex Henderson Animation (Donkey Kong Fandom) Carbon Maestro-The Siren and The Seamare by Carbon Maestro (mlp fandom) Anthropology animated PMV by Derek pony (Mlp Fandom) The End of The Line by Stupendium (Choo Choo Charles Fandom) Joker’s song by Miracle of Sound (Batman Arkham asylum fandom) Into the Wild by Miracle of Sound (Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild fandom) Meg’s Villain song by Lydia The Bard Belle’s villain song by Lydia The Bard Just one heartbeat by Blixemi (Warriors Cats) All they see by Blixemi (Warrior Cats)
About Lydia the bard I like a good chunk of her songs but some just kinda fell off like her best ones in my opinion are mirabel, anna, and belles villain songs but the tinker bell and cinderella villain songs are the worst in my opinion
Okay warning this comment is gonna be long as heck. Fansongs and songs from video games were the entire reason I started TH-cam so I got a lot of thoughts: I freaking laughed way too hard when you groaned at the rap in “Open your eyes.” Like Peanut Butter Gamer is my childhood TH-camr and I like a lot of his one off little lyrics to random songs (like the Tomodachi Life theme from his most recent video) more than this one. I adore Build Our Machine with all my heart and it’s not just nostalgia because I listen to it a lot nowadays too. But I get why you wouldn’t like it, it is incredibly fast pace and there’s almost no breathing room (especially if you try to sing it holy crap). But I think it’s a nice contrast to the actual game, a faster song with a lighter tone, like it’s trying to downplay the horror, while in the game you know immediately something isn’t right and you’re slowly anticipating when the monster will come out. Was not surprised at all you liked “Smile like you mean it.” Paranoid DJ has some of my favorite lyrics from any fansong artist, and I think their lyrics in their Hazbin songs are better a lot of the time than the ones from the actual show. I think you hit the nail on the head why Stupendium’s newer songs don’t work for me. He’s great at lyrics but those lyrics never have the time to breathe. I’d suggest listening to “Why did I say Okie Doki,” or “Way way deeper down,” by him. Those are really solid, especially the first one. Great video and I’d love to see you do this again! I have to suggest you give OR3O’s work a try, she was my favorite singer and songwriter for the longest freaking time.
Nah Ad Infinitum is good songwriting. Its accurate to Spamtons character, it expresses his character THROUGH the song. If you had any idea what any of these songs were even about, maybe your opinion would be worth something
Yeah I really love the style of the spampton song however tbh it is a bit over whelming, they could've probably slowed down a few parts or broken it up with some other clever gags to make it more bearable. Very charming but a bit much
@@ohwowitsme8548 Being overwhelming was the idea. The character singing is the personification of pop-up ads, having no room to breath is literally the point of the song.
I absolutely cringed at Ad Infinitem being sent in because that is absolutely the worst Stupendium song, litterly every other song they've done is so much better
Hope you all enjoyed! Next video is about Beauty and The Beast. What other songs would you like to see me do an in-depth review of in the future?
would really like to see you check out vylet pony and phemiec! they're fanartists for mlp and homestuck respectively. vylet pony genuinely makes some of the best mlp fanmusic out of there so ill vouch for her especially

Have you ever thought of analyzing some broadway stuff? I'd love to see your opinion on Hadestown. Also like the other person said, Biggering.
I would love an analysis of Blue vs You’re Welcome from Heathers
I feel blue is a silly, stupid song that fit Kurt and Ram’s characters better, but I would love to see you make a musical and character comparison about that
you're probably tired of Wish, but if you can would you review Jonah Who Two's fixes on the songs? I would love to see your opinion.
"Damn. I just listened to a seven-minute pony song. And I liked it."
The Lullaby for a Princess experience.
Oh I know why the Discord song sounds too rushed! It's because the version heard in the video (and also, the one that got extremely popular) it's a Remix by The Living Tombstone. The original version is by Eurobeat Pony and the vocal are slower (or rather, the vocals are normal and the TLT is sped up).
The original is crazy. It has a polka instrumental break and everything.

On the note of lullaby for a princess feeling shorter than it is, I lisened to it years ago (manly cause I like the animation) and was surprise when you said it was seven minuts because I didn't remmeber it being that long.
A lot of comments are stating that Discord is the character's name. But I figured I'd point out something others aren't. The other lyrics relate directly to his actions in his debut episodes. He made characters act against their usual natures so they were doing things like "sleeping in the middle of a summer afternoon" when they wouldn't usually do that.
Oh my gosh, Blixemi has so many REALLY good songs
May I suggest ‘the moon rises’? It is another MLP song, I know, there’s a lot. This and ‘The lullaby for a princess’ really were my childhood haha, and I feel like they both are similar is a way. (It’s by Ponyphonic as well(ft. Kristen Calvin))
Also if you do watch the animated version the vocals are slightly different.
if you ever do a part 2 to this, i definitely suggest checking out PhemieC’s fandom songs, their lyrics are incredible and filled with so many references. i’d recommend Ugly Story out of their homestuck songs or Guardians from their other albums, though i think a lot of the enjoyment of the songs comes from getting the references in the wordplay
Inherit Nothing and Nightmare are really interesting too I think
Really enjoyed your reactions to these!
I’d love more videos like this or maybe one reacting to official song suggestions? Meaning songs from the medias themselves like my little pony has great songs!
I think it's really funny how many people don't know the origins of the red means I love you because it got so big on tik tok back when it came out. The entire album that song is on is mha fansongs (with the exception of one which is a Sk8 the infinity fansong), and they all hold up really well on their own as well. the red means I love you isn't even the best one in my personal opinion, so if you do another video like this, I definitely recommend checking out some of her other songs on the album.
love PBG. had no idea he made a song LOL
Only OG fans remember when it dropped out of nowhere lol.
Very fun watch! Would love to see another video like this!!
Would be fun to see what you think of Marsha, thankk you for the dialetics, but i need you to leave from Will Woods
OMG! Looking at the description before wstching and im so happy one of my suggestions made it in! Ill update this comment after watching :)
EDIT - i was that one warrior cats kid everyone knew and you're so right, it goes way too hard on the violence and the family drama for it to be 11 year old reading 😭 im nearly 16 and i know plenty of warriors adults and its my comfort series
EDIT 2 - I'm glad you found it servicable! I think the homebrewed sound of blixemis work is what i find comforting but i get it's not for everyone :)
In terms of storytelling ‘I’d Fall Again’ by MilkyMelodies is also fully animated- meaning you might actually get some of the story. It’s another Hazbin Hotel song. Musically I think ‘Wash it Clean’ by Caleb Hyles is probably the best as a softer musical song. It’s very good.
I know you said in the premiere comments about "I like rap WHEN ITS GOOD" (which btw, same, a lot of rap just... isnt it) so I'd be curious what your opinion on the song Money Game Part 2 by Ren is? Fun video overall! Really love your videos :D
Second Money Game Part 2, the lyrics are so fun!
If I wasn't already subbed the "Spiritual lyrical miracle individual" ref would have done it
I absolutely love fansongs. I'll wholeheartedly second all the recommendations for *PhemieC's* Homestuck songs - they were the artist that introduced me to the very concept of fansongs. You probably won't be able to do them all, but these are all the ones I'd recommend in a rough order:
Mary
The Gods Must Be Lying
A Confession
I Am An Island
Double Time
Ugly Story
Our Aftermath
Friendleader
My Nightmare
Leviathan, the Girl
Inherit Nothing
An Apology
Other *Homestuck* song recommendations:
*By Horizon*
(these are interesting because for the most part they take official music from the comic and put lyrics over the tracks)
Pyrocumulus (Kickstart)
Flare
Three in the Morning (there are two versions of this. Personally, I prefer the original)
Sburban Juxtaposition (this one is wholly original, not just the lyrics and vocals)
Trollcops
Downtime
Derse Dreamers
Mother (One Year Older)
*By totalspiffage*
Shut Me Down
8R8K
Half Dead and So Alive
(Most of their Homestuck songs are parodies, but these are originals)
And then a few random ones:
Temporal Shenanigans by Rachel Rose Mitchell
Your Universe by Marcus Carline
Jack and Black Queen by Miss Prince
*Genshin Impact songs*
Writing on the Wall by Will Stetson (if you only listen to one song from this comment, make it this one)
A Realm of Dreams Unforgotten by Reinaeiry
Let's Fly! Stories Because of You by Reinaeiry
Emberfire by HOYO-MiX (this one is official)
A Summary in Sumeru by The Stupendium
*Percy Jackson universe songs*
ReWrite by Gio Navas
Soldatino (Nico's Lullaby) by Paola Bennet
Sunshine Boy by Gio Navas
*Six of Crows songs*
Hard to Kill by Beth Crowley
Dirty Hands by Kendra Dantes
Brick by Brick by Kendra Dantes
Six of Crows by Gio Navas
And one I don't have a category for:
Open the Sky by The Stupendium (for the video game Stray)
Hey, I was wondering what you think of Rocky's poem at the beginning of Lackadaisy? I don't want to pick on it, because obviously a lot of passion went into producing the indie pilot episode, but I always thought something sounded off and tried to rewrite the lyrics as an experiment before. I never see anyone else point out that it has any issues though.
For the MHA song, It's inspired by a character named Toga, who has a quirk which allows her to morph into a different person when she consumes their blood
I can’t imagine the amount of bashing she’s gonna get on the Spampton song after this. I feel bad honestly
I suggest checking out Lydia The Bard’s most recent song about Alice in wonderland, it’s really good
Could you do this again? Hell you could do a whole video on Hazbin Hotel songs alone, Avatar the last airbender has its own fan made musical between like ten artists, Warriors has a bunch more songs. Madds Buckley actually did a whole Album for My Hero Academia, red means I love you is just one of the songs. Those are just a few examples, but there is so much to look through.
As someone who knew a good few of these songs I'd say your opinions are very interesting, and if you ever plan to make a part two to this video, i'd love to see you rip into some Derivakat 'Records of the SMP' album (mostly Aint no crying, Revived & Syndicate) as well as 'Voices' (DSMP)
Maybe some more Living Tombstone FNAF songs? aswell as CG5's 'Lonely King' and 'Injustice' (also DSMP)
Of-course these are suggestions, you don't need to watch any of them, more-so just some cool fan songs that I think you'd find interesting!
ASTOR, if u want to listen to more fan songs I suggest Will Stetson’s songs! They’re a bop! They hv great lyrics, great stroy, melodies, *and* great story behind them that u can understand easily… i think.
Also, can u plzzzzz listen to EPIC: the Musical by Jorge Rivera-Herran (correct me if i got anything wrong)? Its abt the Odyssey and i think the songs r pretty great! I rlly would love for u to listen to them.
I finally watched all of this, I am floored by the amount of dubstep songs people sent you. Why'd they do that??
After yesterday's stream, I've realized it's because electroswing/dubstep makes up like 80% of fansongs. I even started to call it "fansongcore."
My entire playlist on Spotify is mainly just Nerdcore music. Some of the best songs I’ve ever heard are Fnaf songs.
Thank you for providing a refreshing look at these songs
If you want some more to look at, I recommend more of Stupendium. It is not the best to start with probably their most… expressive song. It was it intentional to be like Spamton, in being very in your face and over stimulating. Also check out Sleep Well by CG5, genuinely his magnum opus right now and such a good song
As much as I love both songs, it makes sense that you liked Lullaby For a Princess a lot more than Discord. Discord is very 2010s and really relies on you knowing the show beforehand (Discord being an actual character who causes world-ending chaos that the characters fight). Lullaby for a Princess is closer to a song from a musical, and actually tells you the story (retelling a story from the show, but with a more emotional/personal perspective).
And this is how I learned red means i love you is a fansong
I really appreciate the honesty and straight-forwardness of this video! I do think, however, that as this video gains views, you will get a lot of negative comments. Especially because you rated the Stupendium song (Ad infinitum) so low.
This is the first video (or anything) I saw that is negative of his songs and it feels good to know I'm not alone in not liking his song. When people praise his songs they usually just end up praising the production value, and the songs being there are just a bonus. And I agree, the production value is good, but I came for the song not the animation. I listened to like 6 of his songs and none of them were good IMO
oh the stupendium actually uses they/them pronouns btw
but yeah i can definitely see that, i used to listen to the stupendium a decent bit back in the day and i enjoyed some songs but i don't really listen to them anymore
I *completely* forgot about all the MLP fan music, definitely a fun surprise!
This is the problem with jumping into something you aren't the target demographic for with next to no knowledge or context. Your initial reactions are really harsh for practically every song, unless it's in the style of a musical theater ballad. You even completely miss the point of some songs. Not trying to invalidate anything or whatnot, just an observation.
I listen to a wide variety of music. My tastes expand far past musical theater. My favorite genres are actually pop and rock. That being said I was not expecting the amount of electroswing I faced here.
@@astorrhymemaster Completely fair, I also didn't realize how much Electroswing fan music has.
Seeing warrior cats was a jumpscare lol
OK I'm back to watch the rest of the video. Had to take a break to listen to some actually good music after the Deltarune thing.
Ironically, Deltarune’s ost actually slaps. Some of the best music I’ve heard in a game.
It’s sad the fan stuff isn’t the same level most of the time.
Yeah these critiques are totally fair
Do I still love these little bundles of nostalgia? Of course!
Am I a little bundle of "cringe edgy fandom menace"?
Idk I often feel like making fun of what people like is stupid and just makes them feel bad. I like what I like and idc if others don't
If you’re looking for anymore fandom songs to hear I made a list of some non electro swing ones.
DKC: Return to Krocodile Isle by Alex Henderson Animation (Donkey Kong Fandom)
Carbon Maestro-The Siren and The Seamare by Carbon Maestro (mlp fandom)
Anthropology animated PMV by Derek pony (Mlp Fandom)
The End of The Line by Stupendium (Choo Choo Charles Fandom)
Joker’s song by Miracle of Sound (Batman Arkham asylum fandom)
Into the Wild by Miracle of Sound (Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild fandom)
Meg’s Villain song by Lydia The Bard
Belle’s villain song by Lydia The Bard
Just one heartbeat by Blixemi (Warriors Cats)
All they see by Blixemi (Warrior Cats)
About Lydia the bard I like a good chunk of her songs but some just kinda fell off like her best ones in my opinion are mirabel, anna, and belles villain songs but the tinker bell and cinderella villain songs are the worst in my opinion
My little pony has the best songs- fanmade and official. Daniel Ingram put real love into the official soundtrack.
Okay warning this comment is gonna be long as heck. Fansongs and songs from video games were the entire reason I started TH-cam so I got a lot of thoughts:
I freaking laughed way too hard when you groaned at the rap in “Open your eyes.” Like Peanut Butter Gamer is my childhood TH-camr and I like a lot of his one off little lyrics to random songs (like the Tomodachi Life theme from his most recent video) more than this one.
I adore Build Our Machine with all my heart and it’s not just nostalgia because I listen to it a lot nowadays too. But I get why you wouldn’t like it, it is incredibly fast pace and there’s almost no breathing room (especially if you try to sing it holy crap). But I think it’s a nice contrast to the actual game, a faster song with a lighter tone, like it’s trying to downplay the horror, while in the game you know immediately something isn’t right and you’re slowly anticipating when the monster will come out.
Was not surprised at all you liked “Smile like you mean it.” Paranoid DJ has some of my favorite lyrics from any fansong artist, and I think their lyrics in their Hazbin songs are better a lot of the time than the ones from the actual show.
I think you hit the nail on the head why Stupendium’s newer songs don’t work for me. He’s great at lyrics but those lyrics never have the time to breathe. I’d suggest listening to “Why did I say Okie Doki,” or “Way way deeper down,” by him. Those are really solid, especially the first one.
Great video and I’d love to see you do this again! I have to suggest you give OR3O’s work a try, she was my favorite singer and songwriter for the longest freaking time.
Nah Ad Infinitum is good songwriting. Its accurate to Spamtons character, it expresses his character THROUGH the song. If you had any idea what any of these songs were even about, maybe your opinion would be worth something
I calls em as I sees em
Yeah I really love the style of the spampton song however tbh it is a bit over whelming, they could've probably slowed down a few parts or broken it up with some other clever gags to make it more bearable. Very charming but a bit much
@@ohwowitsme8548 Being overwhelming was the idea. The character singing is the personification of pop-up ads, having no room to breath is literally the point of the song.
I have a fnaf suggestion: The Bonnie Song
I absolutely cringed at Ad Infinitem being sent in because that is absolutely the worst Stupendium song, litterly every other song they've done is so much better
Was not expecting open your eyes on this list lol DON'T DISS MY BABY
