Oh my gosh! Thank you all so much for the support, I'm genuinely in awe at how much attention this video is getting. New content is coming out every two or three weeks, so I hope you'll stick around. Again, tysm for all the kind words and support, this means the world to me xx
Edit: a bunch of people have been asking for lyrics, so here ya go :) genius.com/Brittish-anarchy-the-rat-king-a-the-mind-electric-parody-lyrics
And yes, the track will be out on spotify and possibly soundcloud hopefully soon
Ngl, I think the attention to this vid is going to only increase, its going up steadily.
I want to see a series of this rat kind
Your singing voice is so gorgeous, I'm surprised that you sang this
Any change this could go on Apple Music. It kind of has to be on my playlist
Love the song I add it to my play list
I wouldn’t even call this a parody, I’d call it influenced with some sampled notes/keys and some references! Absolutely gorgeous!
erm actually since its not directly using the original audio it wouldnt be sampling it would be interpolation☝
I completely agree with this take, it's art inspiring other art!
Sounds better than the original in my opinion.
That's exactly what I was thinking. There are only two peices that only have similar lyrics and rhythm from what I could tell.
@@InvasionAnimationthe original version is far more chaotic and not for everyone
that rat sure is big i wonder how many rules he makes

The rat kings art is raw as fuck, imagine meeting him in person: you're this child of man, standing infront of a massive rat creature wearing a crown, and his three heads staring down at you like an ant, singing this in a saddened, angry tone as his hue of filth and decay spread through the room, like a thick fog of miasma.

@@FrilledMayfly_AmberlyFerrule i need to know more!!!!! please, how can i know about it when you produce something???
A rat king is the perfect villain for the Toy Story DND adventure I had in mind. This song makes the idea sound so epic when I hadn’t considered before. Thank you
“Scurrying within the walls. The rat king is not like any other stuffy. It has no fluffy exterior. Instead has crusty fur which is missing in patches around its face. The patches expose leathery material. Gashes found anywhere on its body expose a layer of red fibre and oozing crimson beneath the leather. It breathes out from a cavernous void from within its mouth. It wears a regal robe and crown. His sleeping servants, smaller rats, are tied closely to him.” In combat, the Rat king makes large sweeping attacks with the rats tied to its tail
@@radicalraggers8385 ooooo descriptions are on point! Sounds like an awesome campaign
Rat king seems like he would be a joke villain at first but then we slowly see him become more serious and he becomes the villain of this story. Or perhaps he will really be the real hero of this tale
honestly listening to this gives me an idea of a game where The Rat King being a villain at first, but after a confrontation with the hero, the hero actually chews out the rat king. Refusing to kill the Rat King but also refusing to let them go too. Telling it of their own trials and tribulations and that these problems and issues aren't restricted to humans or rats but by simply being intelligent. What makes them different is what they choose to do in spite of all their woes, the hero proving this by choosing to sacrifice themselves to save the rat king from death. After which the player controls The King from now on.
sounds like the spot in Across The Spiderverse
I imagine this song being the climax of a musical about a king who was banished and forced to live underground away from society, where he slowly turns into the king of the rats as he lives out the rest of his days in misery and regret
Basically Undertale
Misery? Rats are awesome, why we he regret anything? I’d live with rats.
It's kinda also Dagoth Ur from Morrowind, except not necessarily about actual literal rats
He heard the voice of Carmen (sorry, I'm a project moon fan)
The addition of "all for nothing at all" was INSPIRED this is an amazing song
NOO i looked into the comments to soon and i got spoilered T-T
My tail, my beautiful glorious tail
I stand above the rest,
yet dark darkness still surrounds me
as my reign stretches no further than my prison
(all bow down and grovel)
My eyes, my beautiful beady eyes
have seen too much
far more than any rat here will ever dream of
in my prison
(all hail the almighty)
And though, I am considered the highest form of rat
I'm spat on my the common folk out there
and though I am more powerful than any man
the world left me behind, it isn't fair
And so, let my name be known
See how I shine in the dark (a lonely king)
Though I've never seen the light,
I can shine twice as bright
like a hopeful beacon shine thrugh the night
(through all the sights)
See how my eyes turn ablaze
I curse the things that live beyond these walls
(the filthy king/thing)
the humans that have made us feel so small
I’m cast away
the angel never meant to fall
See how I envy you
no, you’ll never truly know
what it’s like to be alone
scratching at the walls
and scraps 'till I hit bones [?]
Have you any idea
what it’s like to be a king
without a throne?
To loose your dignity,
your vision and your home?
I didn’t think so
I have seen the war,
I know
I have been in hungry when you’ll think [?]
my strength one day getting smitten
nothing will stand in my way
My story will not be rewritten!
Vaster than an ocean floor
my wrath will burn like dancing fire
and men of size [?] will fall and grovel
fear my kingdom my one true desire
See how my eyes cast a blaze
and I cannot get away, no I cannot get away
no I cannot get away if I triend
See how the walls black with soot
I sit atop my prison of a throne
I sit atop my kingdom of my broken home
a symbol of my torment sits atop my head
glistening in a light I’ll never see
(all, for nothing at all, all for nothing at all, but something to lose)
(this took me at least 30 minutes lol, I hope I got most of the lyrics right, and this is an awesome parody btw :D )
Edit: Thanks for all the recommended improvements :D
i think its "as i curse the things that live beyond these walls"!
through all the sights is actually these hopeless sights i think
I think the "like a sinner dog" is "as I sit atop my prison on the throne"
I think the line might have said "I have been in hungry when (or maybe while) yielding" instead of you'll something perhaps, though it is difficult to make out at times
I think it's 'vaster than an ocean floor' this is an awesome lyric list, great job. you heard more than me lol
man, he surely is a ruler of everything huh.
Nice reference
That hand looks very mechanical
is that a time piece ringing the bell?
Guys I think I heard the clock stop, it must have reached its end
Do I hear a clock stop when I reach the end?
My art teacher has a sign that says "Dont touch the art or the Rat King with eat you." Because people messed with the art and destroyed it.
Its three headed also.
Well now this is downright wonderful. You can hear a fine mix of lament, madness, vindictive wrath, jelousy, and sorrow. My compliments to the singer for making something this enjoyable.
*Crazy..?*
I was crazy one…
They locked me in a?
They locked me in a room, the throne room, the throne room of the king rat, and the king made me crazy... crazy?
I was crazy once...
They locked me in a room...
@@Asmokedetectora rubber room
A rubber room with rats, and rats? They make me crazy...
Id unironically love to have this on spotify
Same

Please, I'd love of more them!
oh! And if you're on mobile, just hook your phone up to the pc and it'll load the local storage, meaning you'll be able to listen on the go, too
Yesss! Same!

My tail
My beautiful glorious tail
I stand above the rest
Yet darkness still surrounds me
As my reign stretches no further
Than our prison (all bow down at once)
My eyes
My beautiful beady eyes
Have seen too much
Far more than any rat here will ever dream of
In our prison (all hail the all-mighty)
And though
I am considered the highest form of rat
I'm spat on by the common folk out there
And though
I am more powerful than many men
The world left me behind
It isn't fair
And so
Let my name bе known
See how I shine in the dark (The lonеly king)
Though I've never seen the light
I can shine twice as bright
Like a hopeful beacon shines through the night (through hopeless nights)
See how my eyes turn ablaze
As I curse the things that live beyond these walls (the filthy men)
The humans that have made us feel so small
I'm cast away an angel never meant to fall
See how I envy you
No you'll never truly know
What it's like to be alone
Scratching at the walls for scraps and rotted bones (No drop of sun)
Have you any idea
What it's like to be a king without a throne
To lose your dignity, your vision, and your home
I didn't think so
I have seen the war
I know
I have been in hungry wait
Building my strength, blind, aching, smitten
Nothing will stand in my way
My story will not be re-written
Vaster than an ocean floor
My wrath will burn like dancing fire
Men of sun will fall and grovel
Fear my kingdom
My one true desire
See how my eyes cast a grey (see how he has no fear)
And I could not get away (Like a tower in the night)
No I could not get away (standing tall and full of might)
No I could not get away if I tried (though he'll never really truly see that clear)
See how the walls block the sun (see how he disappears)
As I sit atop my prison of a throne
As I sit atop my kingdom
Oh my broken home
The symbol of my torment sits atop my head
Glistening in the light I'll never see
All for nothing at all
All for nothing at all
But nothing to lose

Man this song bangs
FINALLY... I'VE FOUND YOU... GUY WHO POSTS THE LYRICS IN THE COMMENTS......
@@ItsGemystic ye I gotchu homie🤝
What if this was the villain song in a Disney princess movie where the main character can talk to animals. And a part of the Rat King’s plan is to cause the black plague.
chonny jash would call this a cover rather than a parody lol
thats the curse of being at the top - you are alone
I wouldn't be surprised if the algorithm sent this my way because it has the same name as a gun from Destiny 2, but I'm happy it did
We may be vermin, but the rat pack still grows.
please man keep making music like this, this just...drips of character. the cover too, the character design of the rat king is amazing, and the way you captured the tragedy of his existence. being the apex among his own kin, yet is seen as so far below everyone else, the envy he feels for those who live above him, the tragedy of not being accepted is one thats...oh so familiar, and is almost humanizing.
Through miraculously unique methods, they Kept It Coming Back. A truly praise worthy Miracle Musical.
HOLY HELL
Ooh, this is one of those songs that make you think up a whole world and story to fit it into. I love those
me: literally just finished a call talking about my rat king character
TH-cam Recs:
STOP LISTENING TO ME butactuallythisisreallyonpointIseetheanimaticinmyhead
don't worry, I haven't talked about rat king characters and it was recommended to me out of nowhere as well - it might be a coincidence at least for now :D
Don't listen to him he's actually a plant from the Exterminators guild to take your sweet succulent and slight maggot infested cheese away- keep safe friend :D
@@grassman5579 you made it sound appetizing .
also its funny the rat king has three heads considering a rat king in real life is multiple rats with their tails tied together due to a sticky substance or other things
i've always loved the bridge of the mind electric and the "all mine towers crumble down" part, as well as the end of murders, so this song goes exceptionally hard
this is the best remake/parody of the mind electric i have heared yet and one of the most originals too, keep going like that pal.
Finally got around to listening to this. The lyrics are metal asf
Its got such a different vibe, and very well composed. I can only imagine soundtrap crying for help because it lags so bad for me. Lolll
This would be absolutely perfect for an animatic
Hands down
I feel like I can pull it off if I finish my promised Tally Hall related projects.
I’m gonna do it mark my words.
The idea of the Rat King is so unbelievably cool, to think his name comes from some grotesque rare natural phenomenon. Probably why the first lyric brings up his tail, the defining parts of a rat king
I am losing my mind, actually. Your voice is beautiful and you are hitting those power notes!! This was absolute amazing work and a wonderful transformation of the original song
so, youre saying, that the rats; made you crazy?
@@grassman5579
CRAZY? I WAS CRAZY ONCE! THEY LOCKED ME IN A ROOM, A RUBBER ROOM, A RUBBER ROOM WITH RATS! AND RATS MAKE ME CRAZY!
THIS IS SOME WALKING IN TH WALLS WITH BARE CLAWS BANGER. ( I live for this type of stuff)
Holy cow! This parody is AWESOME! I really like this rendition of the mind electric! Of course, I think of this less of a parody and more of your own song with references to The Mind Electric + Murders which I thought was a pleasant surprise! This song is also well constructed, everything goes together very well. A great example of this is the transition from Fm to Abm, the way it transitioned was so smooth!
All in all: this song had me at the edge of my seat! I’m definitely obsessed with this one!
I just want to let you know that I have been listening to this song on repeat. I am running a horror campaign and while I wont say much, this FEELS so perfect for a villain I am building up. A headmaster who did so much to save the people around him. He was given god-like power in a hopeless situation, shifting into a monster of tissue, and tendons to act as strings in the realm he both calls his home and his body. In the brick, it pulsates and breathes shallow and slow, for he is the wall. He, himself, had been stretched through the entire school campus to become one with the school.
He protects the school he loves and the students he cares deeply for but puppets them around against their will because he believes doing this, keeping them ignorant to the world around them, will keep them safe. I mean, he is the only one who knows what happened to the outside world and he is broken mentally- becoming a monster of true body horror.
And while he develops a resentment towards those students and a superiority complex due to his knowledge and the power he was cursed with, at the end of the day, I plan for my players to kill him, finally releasing themselves from this prison realm that the headmaster kept them in. And while he is relieved to finally rid himself of the madness he has experienced through the years, he sobs, knowing that all of the people he had protected will be victim to what the outside world has become, and he dies with deep regret knowing that all the blood, all the murder, all the manipulation... it was all for nothing. All for nothing at all.
He did not save the people he loved by just delayed the inevitable and hurt everyone around him while doing it.
Anyways!!! Thank you so much!! You put a lot of love and effort into this song and it SHOWS!!!! It's truly amazing!! My jaw is on the floor!!
Dude that description is... insane. It truly is sounds so hauntingly beautiful. He tried so, so hard to protect all he loves, to the point he corrupted his mind, body, and soul into something truly horrendous. In desperate vain he lost sight of his true goal. What a tragic tale.
I discovered this in my recommended, holy shit. This is amazing.
We need more songs about rat kings in the world, and this is a fantastic contribution.
IM FLIPPING OUT THIS IS LITERALLY EVERYTHING LIKE THE LYRICS AND THE SINGING AND THE VOICEEEE AAAA
I saw the word “parody” and thought this would be pretty goofy, but nope, this is just as good, if not better than Chonny Jash’s cover.
edit: this comment was made when I was getting tired of hearing Chonny’s version everywhere. Now that I’ve had a break from it, I think both are equally good at subverting the original song’s narrative, I just like how this one changes the structure of the song into something else entirely.
They are equally god-like
Nothing is better than Chonny Jash’s cover of The Mind Electric. Is the perfect song. But this is extremely good too.
both are good, i feel like comparing two very different music artists to each other ignores all the little details that make each artists music so different and unique
Both are good to me!
This is much more than just a parody this is incredible!
This is lowkey awesome, this is not just a Parody, its a Masterpiece by itself
This is some of the best music i have ever heard,
No joke.
This is peak "Story from before I was born and when fiction wasnt real." vibes.
i was already excited by the fact that a rat king version of the mind electric popped up in my recommended AND THEN IT WAS SOMEHOW BETTER THAN I COULD HAVE POSSIBLY IMAGINED?? this is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. HOLY CRAP. your voice is so stunning, when the iconic mind electric melody kicked in my jaw hit the floor. AND MURDERS AT THE END. AAUGHH. i'm completely obsessed with this
the song opening with the rat king talking about his tail is a very neat detail considering what irl rat kings are
This is such a great song! I hope Tally Hall gets to listen to how good this is.
i made like a whole google doc thats 1000+ words infodumping about this song only for my friend to say they didnt like it im gonna sob this song is amazing i genuinely do not understand how someone couldnt like this
Link for the doc?
this is a hauntingly beautiful piece and has caused me to subscribe, good work!
In the magic of this world (and likely by the fact TH-cam knows I love things about rats) I have found this song. And in the magic of this world, it somehow perfectly reflects a character I have. This song rocks, so much, I love this.
Oh my gosh! I’m so glad that I was suggested this video!! Not only is the song absolutely beautiful, but your whole channel is basically everything I love!! Tma, character design, Mr. Samuels Tea Time?! I’m so excited to binge watch your videos while making art! ^^
Gave me chills; absolutely phenomenal work!
This is absolutely AMAZING! I would honestly say I like this just as much as the original, and this is the only thing that's ever come close to the magic of the original (which is, was? my favorite song ever), and even just saying, "the original" is weird, because this is its own thing, true art!
I hope you know that I'm now making a morally grey BBEG for my DnD campaign based off of this song now. I've never been so inspired!
This is really good! Your voice has such great emotion and presence! Wishing it was on Spotify
You are an exceptional singer!
Shine on King.
This is probably like the best parody/mix of any Tally Hall media ever.
I thought it would be a lyric change only and i was confused on how someone would dismantle a song like Mind Electric or all songs, but this is basically it's own thing.
Genuinely such a beautiful parody, please do keep up the good work!
Love this. Same vibe as Over the Garden Wall soundtrack, it would fit right in.
I love your Song Funky Goblin
Using the phrase 'funky goblin' at my work now thanks chief
@@zaynekopp3062 No Problemo, Funkorino
I’ve listened to a lot of mind electric covers before, but none have made me genuinely cry before. They lyrics vary just enough to be like listening to its story unfold right in front of my eyes(or ears) and that is something beautiful.
Something I love about the original song is that it's really easy to play out the scene in your head (even without having watched the animation), and what's crazy is that you managed to _keep_ that I can easily picture a scene as I listen
Good shit man. :∆

3:29 IS SO GOOD. It just feels so cinematic. I feel like I’ve never heard a TME cover like this before. this is absolutely wonderful
This is so beautiful in such a gloomy, and depressive way.
good lord this gives The Nutcracker vibes so much. Lovely.
this is awesome. I have been hating the fact that I was beginning to not like The Mind Electric of all kinds but this saved me
This is genuinely the best cover I’ve ever heard of the mind electric, it’s so good 😩 (by the way your voice is absolutely perfect, I love it sm)
literal goosebumps, this is beautiful and one of the most creative re-interpretation that i've heard!
You calling this a parody is like Chong Jash calling his songs “covers”. This is really good
I can’t believe that this is at 57K, well done my man
BOB! Bonkers ain't it?? Come stay soon! E & L & B too!
Woah is that hyperchicken licking???
HAHA WHAT DO YOU MEAN MERE *PARODY*
OMG YOU SING SO GOOD-
Came here from TikTok, love the song man!
I’m a musician, and when I say this is the most beautiful version of any song i’ve ever heard, I mean it. Your ambition and passionate singing make this a beautiful listen. On that note, I would like to hear your (if you even read this, that is) thoughts on an orchestral arrangement on it. I’m really inspired to try out a few different countermelodies and i feel like it could turn out somewhat well. This hypothetical orchestral arrangement having the same vocals, but likely a more varied backing choir, brass, strings and woodwind section. This being without monetary incentive, just a creator inspired by a creator (inspired by a creator).
I can't wait to hear your next song when ever it comes out! It's weird to say I really resonate with this song. Thanks for sharing it. 😊
This is fire! Holy crap. Im glad my fyp recommended me this
As soon as the piano kicked in, I got actual goosebumps. I was just looking for covers since I love this song so much, and I found something more poggers
oh my god. i found this by scrolling on youtube, this is absolutely amazing. this is addicting in a way./srs. your voice is heavenly.
holy SHIT dude remember me when you’re super famous this is so inspiring to me to create and all around i LOVE LOVE LOVE the dark theatrical feel and what you’ve done with the mind electric and chonny jash would be so proud i thinn
I listened to this again and i can't help but associate this with Chiaroscuro, the rat from a book called "the tale of desperaux"
1: commenting for the algorithm, holy hell that song is perfectly evil/sad sounding
2: The Mind Electric is by Miracle Musical off of the album "Hawaii part II". I see how you could pull tally hall as the creators though, it does fit with their themes aswell
Miracle Musical is a project by Joe Hawley, a member of tally hall.
@@Blablablablabla392 Oh, cool! Was unaware of that, thank you for the info
For those of you who don’t know what actual rat kings are, they’re fascinating cases of groups of rats being stuck/fused together and forced to live as one. I love this, the insanity, the bitterness, it’s perfect
more music will always be apreciated, this goes on my nos/adjacent vtm playlist
God, I love this. Chills the entire time. I don't think I've felt this way listening to a song since the listening to the original Mind Electric the first time. Absolutely Phenomenal
The story you've painted with this song is incredible - the feeling that there's a whole world filled with deep and rich lore and characters is very real.
Wait this was only posted 4 days ago? I thought this was a gem from years ago I just discovered. What a masterpiece
I cannot help but replay this over and over!
It's even inspired me to make my own little rat-people for a dnd game! Thank you very much!

I have been listening to this on repeat for days and it’s not even because I’m hopelessly obsessed with rats
Omg this is absolutely amazing!! Spectacular work!!!
Love from a MiracleMusical and Vaush fan!
My setting has a country side ruled by different tribes of ratfolk, and this song struck me with the inspiration to call their grand council "the rat king" I am having trouble deciding as to whether or not to make it a real creature in the background though.
i have to say this. this is more than a parody. this feels like a song with an inspiration of the mind electric. good job, good job. from a music maker to another.
I'm always excited to see the newest talent make an entrance. No preassure though, take your time making your dreams a reality. On your own time
hoLY SHIT??!?!?!? need this on spotify. asap. holy fuck.
Ive been listening to it over and over for like..3 days now, thanks for that man
