I completely agree. That was the point of this album. Honestly the album is less of a mashup album and more "musical terrorism." Imagine All Star People is proof.
I think it's because the songs are ripped from the game Rock Band, because both songs are in that game. The audience even starts singing the chorus of "Float On" when you're playing really well, and it sounds exactly like the audience in this.
@@Mike-rq7ez I know this comment is from a good while ago but as someone who has done Rock Band ripping, there’s no applause in the actual song stems because in practice mode the songs need to play with no crowd noises. The applause was added intentionally which I think just adds to Neil’s genius.
This song just makes me appreciate All Star's actual lyrics and delivery a lot more, it kinda captures the experience of hearing the song as a genuine song for the first time instead of a massively overplayed meme.
what i especially love about this song is how it starts with the "some-", then starts immediately playing the float on instrumental. if that was your first time listening, horror would sink in as you connect the dots to what is about to happen.
This is one of those mashups that's so good it replaces both of the songs used in it. Now i'll have this playing in my head subconsciously when i hear the originals of "Float On" and "All Star"
This happens to me with Imagine Dragons' _It's Time_ and Of Monsters and Men's _Little Talks_ because of a damn amazing mashup by KillMrDJ. Every time either song plays, I sing the other.
This is where Neil shines. You never realize the masterpiece you're listening to until you've had the giggles out of the way, but once they're gone, this shit is actually amazingly masterful. Good shit, meme-man. Good shit.
It is safe to say All Star is one of the greatest songs of all time simply because of how many things you can do with it and it sounds amazing. I like it more now than in fifth grade.
i love that this mashup turns this into a song not just about a reassurance that for every shit thing that happens, something good will happen in the future, and also one that you're likely to find success by being unafraid to break the mold.
Holy cow this is 9 years old. I've heard a lot of "Mashups" in my time and got massively invested in them back in the day. This surpasses any "mash up" I've ever heard. Anyone can grab 2 random songs in the same key and time sig and put them together, this has a proper level mixing and sound production to make it sound great rather than just "huh they work together"
Modest Mouse and Smash Mouth are playing gigs at adjacent bars. Steve notices that the "some" in his performance of All Star went well with the beginning of Isaac's performance of Float On. He bursts into the other bar and starts singing. Isaac is stunned and stops singing, but everyone else keeps playing.
All star has a surprisingly supportive and positive message to it and I never processed that until now and I felt the impulsive need to share that. That concludes my TED Talk
This is just fantastic, there's no other way to put it. All Star matches Float On very well and the ambient audience finishes it perfectly. It feels like the very last song your favorite band will ever play live and you couldn't be happier to experience it
Rub Titties oh no! you friccin' moron! you just got S E X U A L L Y H A R R A S S E D!!! tag your friends to totally S E X U A L L Y H A R R A S S them!!!
This is phenomenal, not just as a joke, but completely unironically. I'm 12 and on a bus, the one I've rode for every year of my schooling except one, and so far this year I've done nothing but listen to music while looking at comnents, but I put down my phone listening to this in the background and looked around, memories flowing and the scene just being beautiful. I've been suspecting I have depression, but in this moment right now, all my senses are telling me everything will be alright, and I love that. I might just cry of happiness rn on this bus, but then again my stop is soon, so who knows. I feel truly happy right now, just pure joy qnd relaxation without worry right now, so thank you if you see this, Neil, and anyone who sees this randomly, thank you for reading through and purely existing with me, life is quite a ride. The key to getting though it is holding onto the bar to keep you grounded as best as you can, and have fun as much as you can, because once you take a second to realize it, everything will be okay :)
i have nothing to say except i love this comment, like...it's really all going to work out in the end!! thank you for sharing and helping people remember that
You're pretty good at writing for a 12 y/o. Your thought process appears structured and coherent, especially if you wrote all that within the ~30 or whatever minutes of a bus ride. Maybe i'm reading too far into it, but the way you write feels more or less similar to myself. In other words, it's probably a good idea to see a psychiatrist lol. Really though, I've got autism and ADHD and wasn't diagnosed until i was ~19. Getting diagnosed with autism is kind of useless for HFA, practically speaking, but getting diagnosed with ADHD can literally save your life. Either way, I strongly recommend learning about behavioral cognition. Knowing how brains work is OP. I recommend that to everyone though
@@rampaginwalrus I haven't suspected autism or ADHD, but I have suspected depression and anxiety that I need to tell my parents about. I'm currently 13 as of writing this reply. I love writing, although I don't think I'm the best at it, and I suppose the fact that I have loved reading and writing for most of my life might be part of the reason that I write like this. Thank you for writing out this comment, although I'm not sure how to even ask for a psychiatrist, and coupled with my near certain anxiety, it is even harder. I'll think about your comment, and hopefully it will motivate me to do something about this when my parents are awake and home. Again, thank you :)
Just listened to all of Dreams for the third time... I doubt anyone will read this but I gotta let someone read my thoughts: Wish twitch chat wasn’t so mean to Neil when he streamed the album premiere. I hope he would update his socials a bit more frequently, but I’m glad to know he’s doing well. This song feels like the ending to a journey. If you read all this, thanks.
very late but _they were full blown mean?_ i knew the chat was annoying so i never watched the stream but it breaks my heart if they were actually rude to him. the new neil fans are always kinda...like that, as much as it sucks.
rip to the legend. not sure which of you could stomach listening to this song on that fateful day. it's the perfect send-off. a happy yet depressing moment that lasts ~4 minutes. farewell.
I’ve been feeling depressed as shit lately and while doing other shit I decided to put this on in the background and hearing this for some reason gave me a sudden burst of nostalgia, I think it’s mainly the all star and I’ve always loved shit like high quality rips, meme remixes, shit like that, and I think this hit just the right chord for me and now my vibe is significantly better
This is just honestly so friggin good. I've listened to it for years now, and I keep coming back. How on earth did Neil win the internet? He's all over it. Lord of Memes before the concept existed.
Listening to guys like Maranci and Cicierega makes you find potential mashups in so many other songs. Just today it dawned on me how well the vocals of R.E.M.'s "Loosing My Religion" would fit over the instrumentals of Ice Cube's "It was a good day".
Dreamworks: Sequelizes the Shrek franchise until the only reason anyone watched the movies was for the memes. Neil Cicierega: "You hold unimaginable power, yet you squander your potential."
Both songs always felt like the musical embodiment of “look on the bright side”, so this mashup feels like the ultimate version of that vibe. Like, “I know it isn’t the best right now, but there’s a silver lining to it all”. Idk, I suck at describing music or feelings
I bet the availability of different kinds of assets has made mashup making so much easier. Like, lyrics only versions of songs as well as karaoke versions of song.
He did it. Neil completed music.
+Foolish Swami GAME OVER MAN GAME OVER
+Foolish Swami Even the mashup name is perfect. Modest Mouth. This mashup was meant to be.
Music is dead and Neil killed him
I completely agree. That was the point of this album. Honestly the album is less of a mashup album and more "musical terrorism." Imagine All Star People is proof.
+FoxFan12 Is it terrorism or a revolution? Here, has managed to not only combine two songs, but improved on both of the sources.
Once you stop laughing, you realize this is actually fantastic.
Official motto of Neil Cicierega's work right here.
say that like a memberberry
Ben Lash This song got me into Modest Mouth & I'm so thankful :)
Lawrence Calablaster SAME
That's all of his music
i love how every song has some applause in the background, like all of these distorted and broken songs are live and in front of an audience
I think it's because the songs are ripped from the game Rock Band, because both songs are in that game. The audience even starts singing the chorus of "Float On" when you're playing really well, and it sounds exactly like the audience in this.
yeah that’s actually me i the background he asked seven year old me to clap and shout for joy as he made this
They have 3 smash mouths that play different parts
@@Mike-rq7ez I know this comment is from a good while ago but as someone who has done Rock Band ripping, there’s no applause in the actual song stems because in practice mode the songs need to play with no crowd noises. The applause was added intentionally which I think just adds to Neil’s genius.
Neil has a captive audience in the studio that he mixes and records in front of. He doesn't pay us, but he does feed us the jams.

This is a meme?
@qwrt Nah, he probably played a part in making them as big as they are, but he didn't start them by any means
the original is great tight lil piece of pop music I don't get why you think its not a good bit of musical expression
@@burnstjamp He was definitely using the song before it was a meme tho th-cam.com/video/HIBjqP8Usjc/w-d-xo.html
@@Vitorio582 yeah because Neil created the meme.
what i especially love about this song is how it starts with the "some-", then starts immediately playing the float on instrumental. if that was your first time listening, horror would sink in as you connect the dots to what is about to happen.
exactly what just happened to me
i said goddamnit out loud literally
but i love both these songs and this slaps so 🤷♂️

Bane Star already ruined that for me.
SonicOrbit01 *smashup
I always sing the Bane Star lyrics now, I can't unhear it not even in this version
This happens to me with Imagine Dragons' _It's Time_ and Of Monsters and Men's _Little Talks_ because of a damn amazing mashup by KillMrDJ.
Every time either song plays, I sing the other.
nah float on is just a slightly overplayed masterpiece.
when MM starts backup vocals all chorus-like for the final "the years start comin'"...that part right there...that's when the feels hit
"And then begins a Smash Mouth mashup that I didn't tell you about, and I didn't tell you about it because it's scary."
-Anthony Fantano, 2014
Classic
This is where Neil shines. You never realize the masterpiece you're listening to until you've had the giggles out of the way, but once they're gone, this shit is actually amazingly masterful. Good shit, meme-man. Good shit.
Rest in peace, Mr. Mouth
This song makes me sad now
you wouldn't believe me but i was just thinking of these exact words. take care, mr. mouth.
It is safe to say All Star is one of the greatest songs of all time simply because of how many things you can do with it and it sounds amazing. I like it more now than in fifth grade.
Called out holy s***
It's a psy op
I once listened to this song while high and it was so beautiful I started crying.
thats deep brah i gotta try that
+Mike Hunt i heard this for the first time high and i felt like i was watching this live during sunset out on a yacht in the ocean.
I am here again today, after hearing about Steve Harwells passing. Rest in Peace king

i love that this mashup turns this into a song not just about a reassurance that for every shit thing that happens, something good will happen in the future, and also one that you're likely to find success by being unafraid to break the mold.
Holy cow this is 9 years old. I've heard a lot of "Mashups" in my time and got massively invested in them back in the day. This surpasses any "mash up" I've ever heard.
Anyone can grab 2 random songs in the same key and time sig and put them together, this has a proper level mixing and sound production to make it sound great rather than just "huh they work together"
let’s just appreciate that neither of these songs were pitch-shifted
Modest Mouse and Smash Mouth are playing gigs at adjacent bars. Steve notices that the "some" in his performance of All Star went well with the beginning of Isaac's performance of Float On. He bursts into the other bar and starts singing. Isaac is stunned and stops singing, but everyone else keeps playing.
All star has a surprisingly supportive and positive message to it and I never processed that until now and I felt the impulsive need to share that. That concludes my TED Talk

This is just fantastic, there's no other way to put it. All Star matches Float On very well and the ambient audience finishes it perfectly. It feels like the very last song your favorite band will ever play live and you couldn't be happier to experience it
