It's very funny, but it's also a singing technique to smile to hit high and warmer notes. Showing teeth and smiling raises your soft palette, that soft fleshy bit in the back of your mouth near your uvula.
There’s so much I love about this song, all the references woven into the lyrics, instead of just having the titles (like Sonic Youth, not saying that’s bad tho), all the little motifs from Live and Learn like on the line, Gotta take it slow sounding like yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh. But the most impressive thing is how they were able to recreate the Crush 40 sound, I’ve never heard anyone recreate it so accurately without sounding too edgy or too much like metal, it hits the perfect balance
Reminder to everyone shocked at Johnny's age: My guy has been a metal vocalist since the late 80s. Check out Axel Rudi Pell or Hardline, dude's been around the block.
Now that the full video is out, I have a chance to say a huge THANK YOU again to all the guys from the artistic team mentioned in credits in the end of the video and in the description. Honestly I've never ever dreamt of having so many skilled and talented people involved, not speaking of the outstanding MUSIC of course!! I'm really proud of what we came up with and I can't wait for more music projects from the Chalkeaters team, just as you guys :) The second thing I'm proud of is this amazing community and how my work of including so many references in it paid off (which compliments the cunning references in the lyrics made by Alios, I laughed at them at least as hard as Johnny did believe me), because you were able to notice so so many! Of course the toughest ones are still there, but wow. It really makes me motivated to make even more secret messages and easter eggs hidden in future videos just for you guys, hehe I've been listening to "What I'm Made Of" by Crush40 today again, and now comparing what the musicians alongside with Johnny did feels so... close. Like I'd really have believed it's another song by them. That really means a lot. If you have favorite references in the video or the song, share them with us! What y'all think is really important, but we're always there to bring an element of surprise~ Cheers!

This whole thing was a ride, a good one at that, HUGE shoutout to everyone who worked on this, from the songwriting, to the animation, to everything. Thank you so much to all of you for letting us experience this! See ya!
the references I found in the song: 00:07 at the beginning of the song the solo is the same as the song Live and Learn of Sonic Adventure 2 00:38 on wikis often say that Sonic is 15 years old, but in the old days in the manuals of the Mega Drive Sonic was 16 years old (just a curiosity even lol) 00:39 green hill is not that green, who played sonic forces bored this because of the lost valley 00:49 a hero with no ring in his hand? this is a reference to the song Seven Rings in Hand from the game Sonic and the Secret Rings 00:57 it's pretty funny to think that despite being a great hero and all, Sonic sleeps at his friends' house since he doesn't live anywhere lol 01:06 but heavy thoughts keep on "scrapping you brain", Scrap Brain it's a final level of the first game of Sonic The Hedgehog 01:09 i don't know if it was purposeful or not but it would be a good reference to the band name too lol 01:16 no time to live, no time to learn, reference to song Live and Learn 01:23 gotta take it slow, references Sonic's phrase: gotta go fast 01:42 dust off your old dreamcast, go cath some frogs. Dreamcast was the last console released by SEGA and on that console came the game Sonic Adventure where came the first gameplay of the Big where he had to try to find the frog during the stages 01:45 and let your stomach rust from chilli dogs. Chilli dogs is the favorite food of Sonic 01:57 it's no use it's a phrase from Silver that ended up turning meme XD 02:23 you're lying there with your heart wide open. maybe a reference to Sonic Adventure's Open your Heart song 02:41 a city from wich there no escape. a reference to Scape from the city of Sonic Adventure 2 03:38 finding out exactly what you're made of. a reference to the Song What i'm made of. Of Sonic Heroes if i forget one, remember in the comments? thx :D
Obviously getting Johnny is great, but I'm impressed at how well you guys managed to emulate Jun Senoue's composition style to the point where I thought Jun was on this. Great job guys.

@@dojelnotmyrealname4018 It's honestly insane. It almost feels like 2008 was 5 years ago sometimes. It's hard to not think of the 90's as 20 years ago for example.
this is all oddly relatable. Personally, the worst part of being 30+ is seeing everyone who used to "be into your party" turning into NPCs in the background. Really disheartening. People give up on their lives so early... only thing worse than that is seeing the ones who hand't give up actually die trying :\
I just realized the "A hero with no rings in his hand" line is probably a reference to Sonic and the Secret Rings, which had the main theme "Seven rings in Hand". Sonic has none of the world rings in his hand.

And in the great part thanks to all the amazing songs Crush 40 made and Crushing 30's brings up!
I absolutely love how Crush 40 this song sounds. Not only because they have the lead singer involved, but because of how they made this song as a whole. As a sonic fan I appreciate the work and passion they put into this!
This video really shows all the incredible work that went into it. Often it's easy to look at a 1 minute animated video and think "Man they couldn't even produce more than a minute!" But when you see things like this and really see all the hard work and passion that went into it, it really does make you appreciate the project so much more. And it's super awesome to see Johnny singing the lines. Thanks a lot for releasing this!

спасибо вам большое за еще одну крутую песню в моих аудиозаписях! Это не просто песенки, это-искусство, на которое было затрачено много сил. Соника с 30-летием!!!! Обожаю вас
Johnny's the only one crushing anything here. Hits all the notes and sounds just like he did... 23 years ago??? We're in our 30s and 40s!! How did this happen?!?
I love this. So funny to see Johnny trying not to laugh while singing. I have been lucky enough to to meet him several times and have photos with him and Jun and he signed my Crush40 album a few years ago. Great guy, fantastic singer and all round amazing performer.
Эх... Вроде песня веселая, а вроде и... Ведь реально. Сонику уже больше 30 лет. И смотря на весь пройденный им путь, становится как-то... грустно. Ибо давно не было хороших событий в серии игр про Соника. Последние хорошие игры вышли... Давно. И чего-то хорошего я ожидаю только от фильма. И комиксов. Комиксы ещё хорошие. И я очень надеюсь, что теперь, когда Сонику больше 30 лет, плохие события в серии про Синего Ёжа закончатся. И вам чуваки, спасибо за эту песню. И за остальные песни. Они прям... Хороши. Прям "ВАУ!". И буду с нетерпением ждать ваших новых песен. Потому-что... Эти песни хорошие. Спасибо вам за всё.
As someone with 35 springs behind me and still stuck in perpetual adolescence, this song hit like a gut punch when I realized that Sonic (in-song) has at least got its life somewhat figured out.
I’m not gonna lie but I am a die heart fan of Sonic crush 40 and this collaboration was a hit and so thank you for sharing this amazing moment with us and the whole Sonic community
I love it - the dynamic, Johnny's singing, the instrumentals... It really FEELS like a Sonic song. I also like the editing work on this BTS video because it's not over-excessively edited to a point where it gets ridiculous. Rather, it's exaggerated enough to still be funny. Man, I would love to purchase this song but all the platforms are subscription-based ;-;
As a big Sonic fan since my early youth I almost fell out of my chair just listening to the amount of gags related to various Sonic songs and well known dialogue lines in this. It's amazing how well it all fits together.
So I've previously heard "It just works", "Eternal Horizon" and "Count to three" independent of the channel, and it was only today that I actually stumbled upon the channel itself, and man am I glad I did. The quality is of the rails and every video is simply amazing. It's not often that every single song hits but you've done it. And beyond that I love how they're all unique yet very clearly you. "Breathtaking" and "A gamer's Christmas" are bops, "Bowsette", "Eternal Horizon" and "Crushing Thirties" are bangers, "Count to three" and "It just works" are iconic, and "Lock me up" is my new personal anthem. You're amazing and I can't wait to follow your journey more actively going forward.
F’d up that Sega brought him back for just the racing game in 2019 and just told him, “bye we don’t need you again” Glad you guys saw his true worth and made him sing this.
I love all the clever references in the lyrics. Here’s the ones I could find: 0:49 “A Hero with no rings in his hand”: Reference to the song “Seven Rings in Hand” 1:06 “Heavy thoughts keep on scrapping your brain”: Reference to Scrap Brain Zone from Sonic 1 1:13 “You lose control at the slightest turn”: references how Sonic has handled terribly in some past 3D games 1:16 “No time to live, no time to learn”: Reference to the song Live and Learn 1:42 “Dust off your Dreamcast and go catch some frogs”: Reference to Big’s mini game in the Sonic Adventure games 1:58 IT’S NO USE! 2:22 “You lie there with your heart wide open”: reference to the song Open Your Heart 2:29 “Gotta take it slow”: opposite of “gotta go fast” 2:36 “They chase you like a truck”: Reference to the GUN truck chase in Sonic Adventure 2 2:41 “A city in which there is no escape”: reference to the song Escape from the City 3:09 “You regret past failures they rub in your face”: references how Sonic has had a bad rep recently and how some fans lash out at the series because of it 3:38 “Finding out exactly what you’re made of”: reference to the song What I’m Made Of There are more, but some of them (like the chili dogs one) are well known and don’t really need pointing out. Still clever work ins though. You really did your research Chalkeaters! Let me know if I missed any!
I was listening to this whilst eating dinner when my mom said out of the blue “video game music has gotten so much better since I was a kid!” Keep up the good work! You actually got my mom who hasn’t played a video game since the 1990’s!
i swear there was an intention to have three bits near the mid of the song "you grid another rail but their still on your tail" "they chase you like a truck your running out of luck" it really feels like there should of been a third one there
I don't know if you guys realize how insanely hard it is to make music and lyrics that are this creative/high quality. It's really hard to make a song that is this good. Thats why the 80's had so much good music, because people actually put effort into it. Nowadays they just write crappy lyrics with mediocre beats/melodies, that's why mostly everything you hear on the radio is trash, because they just care about making money fast. It makes me happy to see that there is still people like these who care still. Good job guys, I salute you.
Это видео, как и песня - просто прекрасно! Спасибо the chalkeaters и самому Джиоэлли за эту песню. Кстати, интересная деталь - в этой песни есть фразы из разных песен разных эпох - no time to learn, no time to live, what you made of и т.д

Actually Sonic Blast is a thing.
It's the worst Sonic game and it's probably the worst game that I have ever played.

You can see gioeli smiling when he gets to "save on rent." I love it.
@@Dairunt1 I know. It's hilarious. I wonder how many times he busted out laughing at the lyrics he had to sing.

It just starts playing randomly at my head all the time.
It's just incredible.
This is so depressing yet so badass! I love how this song is sort of a direct contrast to "Sonic Youth".
I love this. So funny to see Johnny trying not to laugh while singing. I have been lucky enough to to meet him several times and have photos with him and Jun and he signed my Crush40 album a few years ago. Great guy, fantastic singer and all round amazing performer.
You’re so lucky!!
Your Guitar solo captured the style of Crush 40 Solos perfectly! This was a great song!
I love the scrapping your brain bit. Nice Scrap Brain Zone reference 👍
And the “go catch some frogs” part, paying homage to my favorite character, Big
at 1:00 that lick is so killer! Sounds just like crush40 at it's best! Excellent job on this and love you guys. Actually GOATed music producers.
Johnny sounds just like he did 20-odd years ago. I don't know if that's just vocal talent, or sound editing. But damn does it take me back.
Музыка? Великолепна.
Вокал? Джонни как всегда прекрасен.
Но текст? Вот где настоящая звезда шоу.
Эх... Вроде песня веселая, а вроде и... Ведь реально. Сонику уже больше 30 лет. И смотря на весь пройденный им путь, становится как-то... грустно. Ибо давно не было хороших событий в серии игр про Соника. Последние хорошие игры вышли... Давно. И чего-то хорошего я ожидаю только от фильма. И комиксов. Комиксы ещё хорошие. И я очень надеюсь, что теперь, когда Сонику больше 30 лет, плохие события в серии про Синего Ёжа закончатся. И вам чуваки, спасибо за эту песню. И за остальные песни. Они прям... Хороши. Прям "ВАУ!". И буду с нетерпением ждать ваших новых песен. Потому-что... Эти песни хорошие. Спасибо вам за всё.
Все не так плохо, Соник все ещё шикарен!
Now all that's left is the animation, I also love that Johnny still has it, the skill
Johnny Gioeli hasn't lost his touch. I can tell he enjoyed working on this song. The song and animation were amazing. Everyone did an excellent job.
How Can a song be so depressing yet so fun at the same time?
Cause it’s a true to life song
It's motivational toward the end
U discribed it so accurately
*BUT* they intentionally left on a positive note, even if they are ups and downs.
I swear, Johny loves what he does and he really love that blue little rascal. You can feel that in his voice
seeing Johnny having fun recording this song makes me happy
he's on his fifties?! he still kills it with his voice, man!
Johnny Gioeli is a legend!
Still can't believe you guys got THE Johnny G for this! Probably my favorite non-official Sonic song!
I can't wait for Crushing in your 40s ten years from now!
8 years left i suppose
You did an amazing job on this Masterpiece you really got Crush40 in there!!! 😘❤️👍
1:58 IT’S NO USE!!!!!!
As someone with 35 springs behind me and still stuck in perpetual adolescence, this song hit like a gut punch when I realized that Sonic (in-song) has at least got its life somewhat figured out.
I’m not gonna lie but I am a die heart fan of Sonic crush 40 and this collaboration was a hit and so thank you for sharing this amazing moment with us and the whole Sonic community
❤
I love it - the dynamic, Johnny's singing, the instrumentals... It really FEELS like a Sonic song. I also like the editing work on this BTS video because it's not over-excessively edited to a point where it gets ridiculous. Rather, it's exaggerated enough to still be funny.
Man, I would love to purchase this song but all the platforms are subscription-based ;-;
Man how is a song about having a mid-life crisis this good we really crushing the 30s
2:47 This guitar part sounds like a song taken from sonic adventure
Is crazy how he is in his 50's and still sound so young and full of life, ya gotta love that man!
I love how Johnny enjoying making this Sonic tribute. I hope Sega use his voice for next gen sonic
You all did an amazing job with this and it looked like he had so much fun being a part of the project!
"Crushing 30, are they making fun of me? Are you making fun of me? Oh wait I'm in my 50s"
This man is a legend
As a big Sonic fan since my early youth I almost fell out of my chair just listening to the amount of gags related to various Sonic songs and well known dialogue lines in this.
It's amazing how well it all fits together.
Exactly❤
So I've previously heard "It just works", "Eternal Horizon" and "Count to three" independent of the channel, and it was only today that I actually stumbled upon the channel itself, and man am I glad I did. The quality is of the rails and every video is simply amazing. It's not often that every single song hits but you've done it. And beyond that I love how they're all unique yet very clearly you. "Breathtaking" and "A gamer's Christmas" are bops, "Bowsette", "Eternal Horizon" and "Crushing Thirties" are bangers, "Count to three" and "It just works" are iconic, and "Lock me up" is my new personal anthem. You're amazing and I can't wait to follow your journey more actively going forward.
I thought it sounded too close to Crush 40! That’s amazing that they got Johnny to sing this!
This is pretty much the live of every OG Sonic player now. Thank you boys
I'm 39. Amazing really sad music.
The music conveys the feeling I'm experiencing. Well done.
I can understand you❤
It is truly spectacular that Johnny did the vocals for this amazing song!
I love how you managed to get Johnny Gioeli
I love how the instrumental and the melody of the vocals are like an anti-Live and Learn
F’d up that Sega brought him back for just the racing game in 2019 and just told him, “bye we don’t need you again” Glad you guys saw his true worth and made him sing this.
I love how Johnny is Trying to not Laugh in the entire video XD
I love all the clever references in the lyrics. Here’s the ones I could find:
0:49 “A Hero with no rings in his hand”: Reference to the song “Seven Rings in Hand”
1:06 “Heavy thoughts keep on scrapping your brain”: Reference to Scrap Brain Zone from Sonic 1
1:13 “You lose control at the slightest turn”: references how Sonic has handled terribly in some past 3D games
1:16 “No time to live, no time to learn”: Reference to the song Live and Learn
1:42 “Dust off your Dreamcast and go catch some frogs”: Reference to Big’s mini game in the Sonic Adventure games
1:58 IT’S NO USE!
2:22 “You lie there with your heart wide open”: reference to the song Open Your Heart
2:29 “Gotta take it slow”: opposite of “gotta go fast”
2:36 “They chase you like a truck”: Reference to the GUN truck chase in Sonic Adventure 2
2:41 “A city in which there is no escape”: reference to the song Escape from the City
3:09 “You regret past failures they rub in your face”: references how Sonic has had a bad rep recently and how some fans lash out at the series because of it
3:38 “Finding out exactly what you’re made of”: reference to the song What I’m Made Of
There are more, but some of them (like the chili dogs one) are well known and don’t really need pointing out. Still clever work ins though. You really did your research Chalkeaters!
Let me know if I missed any!
This song simultaneously made me older and younger just by the fact that Johnny was in this. Great work guys!
I listened to this song on my 30th birthday so many times. Thank you guys so much for this. All of you are amazing!
I like the detail that Cheese (Cream's Chao) turned into an Adult-Hero chao instead of staying a child.
I was listening to this whilst eating dinner when my mom said out of the blue “video game music has gotten so much better since I was a kid!”
Keep up the good work! You actually got my mom who hasn’t played a video game since the 1990’s!
Yeee I was glad to work with you, guys! You are beautiful!
Спасибо за шанс и удачных вам проектов в будущем)
i swear there was an intention to have three bits near the mid of the song
"you grid another rail but their still on your tail"
"they chase you like a truck your running out of luck"
it really feels like there should of been a third one there
One dude had to learn 3 different sheets to play this on his electro-guitar and bass. Respect
well, I came up with these parts so it wasn't a big deal.. x)
I can't help but smile when watching this. The song is just so much fun, and I love the energy Johnny puts into everything.
1:23 "Yeah... rock'n roll is good" 👍
I don't know if you guys realize how insanely hard it is to make music and lyrics that are this creative/high quality. It's really hard to make a song that is this good. Thats why the 80's had so much good music, because people actually put effort into it. Nowadays they just write crappy lyrics with mediocre beats/melodies, that's why mostly everything you hear on the radio is trash, because they just care about making money fast. It makes me happy to see that there is still people like these who care still. Good job guys, I salute you.
The fact that they got Johnny from Crush 40 to sing this song is incredible
The fact that one of the lines in this song is “It’s no use” you makes me laugh
I wonder if Senoue already checked it.
Goddamn. Johnny's vocals still kick ass even today. This is a great song nice work!
I love Johnny Gioeli he just has this fun air around him
Seeing Johnny have a blast and giggling reading through the verses just made my day 😂
This song is the exact opposite of "Sonic Youth" and I love it.
Это видео, как и песня - просто прекрасно! Спасибо the chalkeaters и самому Джиоэлли за эту песню. Кстати, интересная деталь - в этой песни есть фразы из разных песен разных эпох - no time to learn, no time to live, what you made of и т.д
Ok this is actually amazing, I've had this song stuck in my head for days now
