I'm going through the top 20 Favorite Video Game Songs of all time as voted on by my community. This came in at number 9!
Well... Here it is.
I have had an interesting relationship with this song over the years to say the least. It was requested so often that it made me looking for songs from suggestions in the comments useless. Though I love Undertale and it's music, this one song was almost so overwhelming I just couldn't even know where to begin with covering it as it's own project. There was just way too much expection to feel comfortable taking it on. This Top 20 project felt like the perfect opportunity to finally put the wait to rest and I very much hope you guys enjoy it.
It's so hard to know where to go with something like this. I went in very conflicted because I had no idea how to go about it that wasn't already done. It felt like a disservice going with any one thing, so I decided to mix elements of Synthwave, Djent, and Orchestra into one to really capture the magnitude of this chaotic song. I really tried to put it's memehood aside and tackle it from the most organic place I could, really trying to capture elements of the guitar tone used in the Earthbound Overdriven guitar sound that Toby used so prominently. It was tough because it's so fizzy and trebly that every iteration felt too tinny and harsh that I ended up reaching for the Neural Archetype Petrucci and making a tone from scratch, and then scrapping it for my regular lead tone and making broad adjustments to it. The result is a pretty cooked tone, but one that sit suprisingly well in the mix with my brand new Axe FX rhythm tone utilizing an EVH modeled amp. For once I actually found myself trying to fill out the mix rather than cutting room for other instruments. I even got to play with boosting mids on the rhythm tone during the break section before the solo.
And of course, how could I do this without paying homage to the most viewed video across all of my channels. That doorbell deserves a deep cleaning after how many times I've programmed it to play this. It felt like the perfect drop instrument, so forgive probably the final feature of it playing this god foresaken song.
I really want to iterate how difficult it was to release this. Actually producing it was a breeze since I've been playing this song constantly since it came out, but to finally do it's own video and release it to the world is something else entirely. It's hard to explain, but I hope the feelings reach you.
I sincerely hope you enjoy this project of a cover 8 years in the making.
Thanks so much for watching! This is the 9th highest song on list of your most favorite video game songs of all time. Subscribe if you haven't already and see the rest of the top 10 video game songs of all time!

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Are you going to drum to this?
@@Smoldragoncatjust refer to all the other times 8bit has covered it
Drum to itttttttt
SANS WE MEET AGAIN!!
Yooooo
Extremely pleased to see the doorbell cover getting the acknowledgement it deserves, good stuff
Came here to see a comment about the doorbell ring. Was not disappointed
Some time ago I told my friend about the megalovania doorbell that Jules programmed, this video is the perfect opportunity to show it to him
Fun fact that fucking doorbell video is actually how I discovered Jules. It showed up in my feed completely unexplained and then after I watched it RUclips started bombarding me with everything he's ever done.
I wasn't complaining.
@@maxastroI discovered him through the metal soundtrack from Crypt of the Necrodancer.
I never left. 🤘😎
I saw him in this video, then he gained +1 subscriber
It took three years for him to write the rest of that doorbell jingle. It turned out great.
Now he should make the doorbell play the entire song
@@YigaYohns2doorbells can't play guitars, silly
Kind of hard to have a bad time when the tunes are this killer! Great cover as always 🔥
I had a feeling I'd see you here. What a gamer
The tunes may be killer, but Sans is killest
sup shay
Shayy :0
Top G! Love your Videos!
*Seeing a FamilyJules Megalovania cover fills you with determination.
Hell yeah!
What I love about Jules' covers the most is the creative integration of original parts onto the song. These are unexpected and make the covers way more memorable and fresh compared to other, similar works from others.The small sample from Last Goodbye in this one is simply incredible.
True dude
It’s a beautiful day outside.
Birds are singing.
Flowers are blooming.
On days like these, kids like you…
Should be rocking out like hell.
And we are rocking out like hecc, jamming you could say
Everything about this is wonderful. The look of wistful admission at the start, your face plastered with an expression that says "I'm really doing this, for real this time."
Your choice of continuously surprising guitar choices at every single section
The moment I was waiting for, 2:05 in which you truly make this cover your own, imbuing it with a solo that takes this melody that has been created and recreated thousands of times over and applying your own creative energy over it
And finally 2:35 the moment I never saw coming, but perhaps should have. The call back to the moment where it all truly began.
fr.
Wait . . What's with the doorbell version?I forget.
@@mannysilver211 he made a video on his second channel where her programmed his doorbell to play megalovania and it went viral. Since then, he's had a continuous joke about being "the doorbell guy"
The fact so many people unironically still love this song really shows it wasn't just the hype, Toby really did an amazing bloody work with that ost.
Glad to see you making it your own, sweet solo ! Oh yeah, cheers from Brazil
This song will forever remind me of the top 10 medleys days and how inescapable it was during the voting for literally every video. If only we knew the longevity this gd song would have.
never in all my years would I have expected it to get in smash of all things
@@twixchexmix Hey, that just proves how good it is. It truly gives a boss feeling. And this basically IS the culmination of your whole Genocide run route, after all.
Longevity....
Kinda fitting since the song is almost 20 years olf
I cant believe i never realized that you had not covered this song. Then the doorbell hit and i realized you had just in a different way. Bravo
Undertale just has a sound like no other and your version does it the justice it deserves.
I know this was a tough ask for you after so long, but rest assured, you knocked it out of the park. Huge fan of that lead tone, gives it just the right amount of crunch that really nails the vibes of the original. Amazing work as always, Jules, and here's to the top 8!
FINALLY!!! It’s been 84 years lol 😂. I’ve been waiting for this cover for sooo long and you nailed it! The doorbell was the icing of the cake! 👏👏
Using the fucking doorbell in an actual cover might be one of my favourite FamilyJules moments
Listening to your cover, I realized something- what I like about this cover is how CLEAN your notes are! Very little bleed from one note to the next, making your interpretation of the tune clear and very strong! Love it!
Crazy how far this song has come.. I still remember when undertale first blew up! Crazy how people can keep this fandom going for over 8 years!
Omg that addition of little bits of SAVE the World near the end... So good.
Wait, more topical way of putting that:
* so cool.
Ah man, this brings back memories of when this song was EVERYWHERE on RUclips. Great work as always!!
From the doorbell to the guitar, this is a banger in your hands
2:38 I was waiting 4 years for this
You know what? I would say same, but what I've *really* been waiting for is this solo with a Doom-like guitar: 1:51
Well, here it is, we all knew it was happening, and i'm happy for it's placement, honestly. I thought it was going to rank way too high but thats a good enough placement.
Damn, you did a BANGER on this one Jules, and loved the omage to the doorbell series. Amazing work on this project!
this is so good! i don't enjoy most metal covers this much and i'm not a music person so i couldn't put my finger on exactly why but suffice it to say you've made a real gem in the genre here. the incorporation of 'hopes and dreams' near the end there was such a nice detail, and the doorbell was such a sweet personal touch! i'm so glad you chose to incorporate that, a little show of how much the song means to you (as it does to so many of us)!
LOVE the instrumentation in this. The backing instrumental and the arrangement is almost as impressive as the up-front guitar work. Fantastic cover!!
I was going to comment about how this song never gets old, but some of the credit has to go to you for making it sound fresh just by giving it such a good arrangement.
I absolutely love the Hopes and Dreams insert at 2:16
When I listened this under the shower, I found meself dodging the water droplets...
Doorbell was a lovely touch xD Love the cover, thanks for your amazing work!
Holy shit, you finally did it. Having witnessed all the demand and all the pushback this took, this is truly something to see, man. And very well done at that! I'd expect nothing less. :)
You finally didi it!! Nice arrangement and the doorbell part from years ago awesome job, you just waited to deliver the perfect cover.
The soundtrack to this game will always make me so happy. Thank you for keeping it alive! Also, happy the doorbell got a shout out lol
It's crazy how Polished your sound is now, I've been going back to your older vids lately, and their great. Just your sound now is soooo professional. Keep up the great work.
Also I think schecter is my new fave guitar brand because of you.
Amazing cover!
The fact that this song is only 9th is crazy tho. You know it's mostly due to the hate it got from its popularity and memes.
Still, seeing UT fandom live on after so many years fills me with... happiness.
Another absolute banger of a Jules cover of something he has made versions of before, to quote my comment on the Corridors of Time video: OMG YES
I have heard alot of megalovania covers but this one just WORKS so well you adapted the song so well and even added letmotifs from other undertale songs.
That's prime doorbell material right there
ah good, the interdimensional theme of getting your ass kicked has made a return to my feed.
Two damn good Undertale covers in almost as many weeks? You're spoiling us, Jules. 🤙
You madlad. You finally done. And it took you 9 years to do a full on cover!
YESSSSS FINALLY!!!!!!
I'VE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS!!!
Only way I could get my fix was watching your top 10 boss battle music video lol
It's been said many times many ways, but when a new Jules track drops, my day becomes instantly better. There are few notifications I'm as excited to see, this one took my day to 11
Honestly really appreciate how in the description he explains he put the memes aside and tried to approach it as organically as possible. I genuinely love Megalovania as a song, and hate how it became such a massive meme, as it has ruined the song for some people. Seeing people treat it with proper respect is refreshing.
I'm gettin' real excited to see the top placements on the list now. All the covers for it have been absolutely phenomenal so far, including this one
Love your stuff :)
Thrilled to hear you finally cover one of the Top 10 Best Stage Select Themes of All Time!
(All jokes aside, this was awesome, and it’s great to see you clearly enjoying it despite people’s pushiness from back then.)
It's such a shame that this song became a...sigh..."meme" considering how good and epic it is. It's employed to fantastic effect in the original work. There's a reason why it's so loved.
Great cover Jules! \m/
THANK YOU. I have listened to this song a whole lot because I absolutely love it. I listened to a lot of covers looking for a perfectly accurate one
This is the first "metal" version that hits EVERY note. Every grace note, the quick little bits in the main melody that people tend to skip or only play half of.
I FINALLY have a perfect metal cover of Megalovania!
Glad to see the doorbell is having a comeback
Legit the best cover of Megalovania I've heard. I've no doubt if you had dropped this at the peak of Undertale it'd be one of your most popular videos.
I am kind of shocked that this was #9 though, really excited to see what the top 8 are in that case.
Playing this while currently fighting for my pitiful life in the bathroom, really making this one hell of an experience
Wow, love that Hopes and Dreams x Megalovania mash up part! What an amazing arrangement!
Not gonna lie, had to double-check my calendar for a minute, this entire upload felt like deja vu until I actually listened to it
Great work, keep up the great revisits
Finally! How long have I waited, amazing job!! Time to listen to this on repeat :D
Nice little doorbell touch!
This is one of my new favorite Megalovania covers ever, holy shit
I remember the peer pressure this took way back when the Top 10s were a thing. Happy to hear the full version finally!
Damn I've heard the outro of that one medley where you say you've made peace with megalovania a million times. A full cover was guaranteed to be a banger. Also the door bell *chefs kiss*
I LOVE how sample from hopes and dreams appears here in solo
Finally there's a good tab of megalovania after years of waiting. The rhythm sounded really good with the djent twist on the break.
If this was the version that started playing in the actual game, I’d stand up speechless! This was such an epic version, and I loved the voicings you did on the melodic parts, made it very tasty to listen to.
2:38 heard this first on Spotify. Imma be real with you chief, I deadass wasn’t expecting that
I was playing this on the bus and listening more then watching then I heard it...said nah im hallucinating then I rewind.... you included the doorbell as well?? Jules you keep outdoing yourself its insane. 10/10 cover
Yelled out in excitement when I saw that you posted this. My roommate overheard that, Spent the next 15 min ranting about a doorbell and getting kicked out of a convention. Worth the 4 years wait!
The doorbell made a cameo in this omg 😂 amazing job as always 🙏
Certainly didn't expect a megalovania cover in 2023. Great work!
This goes SO HARD, youe take on this is absolutely amazing!!
Oh my GOD, Finally! So awesome, great job man!
Finally played Undertale, amazing game. Love these covers as much as the game ❤
Oh shit megalovania finally! I love how many covers of this song have been done and they all fucking slap🤘
I could’ve sworn you already did a cover of Megalovania lol but you still killed this!
He did part of it in the undertale medley ya
The solo and doorbell are what make this cover really stand out
Heck yeah! FWIW, I read the whole description and appreciate your thoughts - I'm like halfway through and excitedly awaiting the "cameo" in the drop 😊
Man, I wish I didn't ruin the doorbell surprise for myself by reading the video description while listening... Still had a good laugh to myself! Absolutely fantastic job, dude
God I love that bit of hopes and dreams in there
Hahahahah, the door bell call back! This was a long time coming and excellent, dude!
So happy to see the megalovania doorbell guy getting cameos in 2023. Very cool.
Your megalovania cover is definitely my favorite, has been since top 10 boss themes video. Love the beats in this one. :)
Back at the basis, I'm so glad to hear this again after such a long time. We've really looped around, huh?
I hope we get even more full Undertale covers, especially Spiderdance :3
I still listen to your Medley regularly
Not sure I’ll ever get tired of hearing this song covered. This fucking slaps!!
It's about time! Awesome cover!
It took 4 years, but the doorbell finally made it into a cover.
Oo this may be one of my favorite covers, well done sir.
So worth the wait. This might be the best metal cover of it in all these 8 years.
Dude this fucking rocks the mix of everything was a great idea. I think I have a new favourite cover of this song.
Hearing your doorbell and know how you took the time to program it is perfect
Another banger from you, Jules! Love this cover!
I will never get tired of this song or Jules epic playing.
I played it and rested my eyes … only to open them at the doorbell cover. You sir are a genius.
Absolute legend, constantly putting out banger after banger for us to fall in love with!
Thank you this cover it's 🔥🔥🔥
The curse has been lifted. The Megalovania Cover to end all Megalovania covers.
Ding dong! Love the cameo there near the end
This is just cementing my belief that Undertale will never die
The doorbell!!! I love it!!
💀Y o u ' v e b e e n b u s y , h u h ?💀
Aw shit, here we go again.
Uh-Oh.... _is this one of those signs of imminent apocalypse???_
Jules finally, covered megalovania, the prophecy has been fullfilled
WELP It was nice knowin you all!
*WE MAKIN IT OUT TO ARMAGEDDON WITH THIS ONE!!!* 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯
These covers made me discover Undertale, i bought it....played it once then never again
Truly one of the Top 10 Megalovanias
I still remember the 2016 April Fools video. Nice to see it finally done for real.
Bout time. I had to rely on your top 10 boss themes for a glimpse of what this could sound like.....oh and the far superior mayonnaise cover
Holy shit, dude. (Extremely positive)
