it's more all over the place in a way, probably because the trumpet needs to be on a specifc beat or subdivision while sting was free to be more languid and legato in his performance. its like a guy who only learned the sheet music trying to play along with a vocalist who learned by feeling
i was reading comments while listening to the first verse like "i don't hear the beep, 13 Hz and it's really really high? maybe i'm just d-OH THERE IT IS"
listening to this piece of art while i’m in a car in the middle of a severe thunderstorm. i’m seeing so many lightning strikes it’s nuts. if I die I’m going out listening to Roxanne.mid
Man, this is really cool. I love that Neil found the need to make this; that he felt that if he didn't he would regret it. He might regret it anyway, but now it exists. Love it!
My analysis from another comment: I used Audacity on the mp3 Neil uploaded, and it just seems like a ~13kHz sine wave at 0.05 amplitude. Maybe it was accidentally placed and he didn't notice? Maybe it was data corruption and he didn't notice? Maybe he just wanted an easter egg for people with headphones? Idk
my first thought upon hearing the ear-rupturing beeps was "I swear to fucking god if that noise came from All Star I'm gonna lose it" but let's be real: that's the most likely scenario here
Fun fact: if you listen to this on RUclips Music, it lists the artist as The Police. So according to Google, this is an official version of Roxanne by The Police.

i love the high frequency beeps. probably the most "fuck you for listening to this" thing neil has ever put in a song
It's like Neil is throwing Flashbangs at us to make us stop listening to it.
Those beeps are in the original MIDI file.
its like the bad smelling gas they put in gas pipes to warn people of danger
@@Dwedit what file is that? I just checked whosampled and didn't find any mention of another source
truly the cowbell of our time
The fact the trumpet is slightly behind makes this 1000 times better
It's actually ever so slightly ahead.
TheCatMom it's been making me laugh my ass off for th last five minutes
Personally a big fan of the high pitched beeping it really adds to the experience
you can tell Sting is absolutely furious but he just pushes through, such a professional

i greatly appreciate this jobel refrence
“What’s technology?”
“It’s magic, Joel. It’s magic.”
For some reason I can picture Sting singing this in a nearly empty coffee shop while playing a casio.
Or a karaoke
I'm picturing a Playskool cat piano
Possibly a kazoo
and his eyes become red when the high beep come
Actually that would be further evidence that all of these songs are from a different dimension.
This is definitely the darkest timeline.
Avoyt more like dankest timeline
Avoyt Who's getting the pizza?
Andrew Pether Troy, clearly.
Finally got this reference, thank God.
"Is that a paintball gun?"
Man I really love those two high frequency noises thanks Neil my ears are bleeding
*pulls out Nokia 3210*
THANKS FOR THE NEW RINGTONE NEIL
I was actually startled when the vocals kicked in.
Was expecting pure midi.
i was reading comments while listening to the first verse like "i don't hear the beep, 13 Hz and it's really really high? maybe i'm just d-OH THERE IT IS"
you were so focused on if you could, you forgot to ask if you should
ayyy
but "you don't care of it's wrong or right"
God creates memes. God kills memes. God creates Neil. Neil kills God. Neil brings back memes...
Garrett Spady He doesn't care if it's wrong or if it's right
Super Potato Heck. You beat me by 4 months.
I can actually imagine someone importing this into classic DooM.
This song already has plenty of DOOT in it, the trumpet revenants would be all over this
this truly feels like Sting singing Roxanne in a karaoke
reverse karaoke
"Just so yo uknow, Jeff, you are now creating six different timelines."
"Of course I am, Abed."
"Roooooo-"
"No."
Bathroom?
speaking of bathrooms I once had…
You guys are my best frie-
*Fire*
I'm getting a drink **OW**
Fuck me, I started to say that rendering this in midi takes all the sting out of the song.
I didn't hear this high note everyone's complaining about... I think it was so savage, my laptop speakers didn't even register it
It's a real high-frequency beep during the first verse. Might not be hearable by certain people, that's how high it is
It wasn't unconfortable for me to hear it though...
0:44
I had headphones on and didn't even hear it. Maybe I'm old :(
I listen to harsh noise so that high pitch squeal was the best sounding thing in the track
THAT FUCKING HIGH BEEP
I HAD HEADPHONES ON AND NOW I AM EAR DEAD
>~>
That's a cute profile picture though.
You uhh.. Got a source on that, or am I gonna have to start an internet journey?

That high pitch caught me off guard, now I'm laughing uncontrollably on the bus.
“Just so you know, Jeff, you are now
creating six different timelines.”
Of course I am, Abed.
Ahh, midis, the truly superior music format.
Am I the only one who actually finds the midi adorable
I love midis
BEEEP
It's wonderful
@@ntgm8 ayyyy
I like it :)
The next step is to turn the vocals into a midi
I was expecting K.K. Slider-like midi vocals
I like this shitty contrast, actually.
Vocals are already the trumpet.
Could be done pretty easy.
Hell yeah roach dog #420 #justblaze
Man, this is really cool. I love that Neil found the need to make this; that he felt that if he didn't he would regret it. He might regret it anyway, but now it exists. Love it!
Didn't include Sting's laugh in the beginning 7/10
or the butt piano
I've listened to this so many times that I know when the beeps are coming.
But they always catch me off guard somehow.
Don't know why, but I thought it was gonna be the Roseanne Theme Song
You people.....
(I also thought that lmao)
Let's be honest there was like a 50-50 chance at either
I'm disappointed in you people.
Galbert I PICTURED ROSEANNE WHEN I SAW THE TITLE TOO! I wonder why...
I expected Pokemon
Were the high frequency tones starting at 0:41 intentional trolling?
it's /just/ at the limit of my frequency range. i heard that it was there, but not quite, must be around 13.5khz....
@@yorgle I heard so clearly and my brain died
God i hope so
Inb4 it's all Star sped up and pitched to that
Someone get a lossless rip and see if anything can be done with that section.

It sounds like it's straight from the Sim City 2000 soundtrack.
wolfpax181 YAAAAAAS
Last time I was this early somebody once told me the world was gonna roll me.
Can you spare some change for gas?
I need to get myself away from this place.
And I said "Yep! What a concept!"
And we'll all float on okay.
its been a week since someone told me the world is gonna roll me
I ate the shark piss too in the shit.
The midi sounds like something the miis would sing to in the original Tomodachi Collection game.
I can confirm I played this to someone who likes the original song, and she genuinely could not tell the difference. 10/10
Finally! I have music for my geocities site, my tripod page is going to be so jealous!
Wow. I didn't realize how annoying Sting's '70s squawk was until you accompanied it with trumpet.
I think he's trying to say "put on the red light" but I'm not sure
_".mid"_
Jesus fucking Christ.
".mid" is correct.
Yup, I'm an idiot, lemme edit that for ya.
it's easy it mess up if you don't use midis for anything, unfortunately i've heard midi versions of hundreds of songs
Yes, that and me being an idiot, but also that.
i don't think you're an idiot, if it makes any difference
To be honest this is very .mid-dle of the road.
You think god stays in heaven because hes afraid of what hes created

The Police has a lot of songs I like but "Roxanne" is not one of them.
until now
"How Sting Hears the Police"
I really enjoy this one, actually.
At this point you're giving me no choice but to subscribe to you.
You weren't subbed already? Have you seen T I G E R ?!
You never had a chance
This is pretty much DRM free music right here
Nope. There are real vocals
Like, when I saw the title I am old enough to recognize the extention and so I was fully expecting a MIDI file. I was not disappointed at all.❤
THE HIGH FREQUEMCY BEEPS JUST MADE ME IMAGINE A GRAPHIC OF NEIL THROWING A GRENADE THROUGH THE SCREEN AND ITS HILARIOUS
i love how it's not a normal midi, it's overlayed over the original song and it sounds so good
According to RUclips this song is "Every Breath You Take".
During the choruses it sort of sounded like the soundtrack for a fast-paced level in a 2.5D first-person shooter.
I was 100% expecting the Roxanne theme song.
this is why we don't rush .mid anymore
ROCKS-
I love the little ear rape high beep. Was awesome, thank you for another masterpiece.
CarminSteele shut up lol

Are the vocals a MIDI Trumpet? This is amazing.
This is exactly what I hoped it was
underwhelming in the most hilarious way
WHAT WAS THAT RANDOM FREQUENCY IN THE FIRST VERSE NEIL MY EARS ARE BLEEDING
This sounds pretty great actually. Love it
This is exactly what it says it is
Props for advertising
I didn't knew about your outtakes, Niel. They are amazing.
*Neil
Niel is a different person probably (i wouldnt be surprised if Niel's channel was owned by Neil)
Neil! You absolute madman!!!!!!!
tfw Troy gets the pizza
Hell yes. This is my theme song now.
Thank you Joel, very cool
I laughed so hard when the "horns" came in.
ONE, two rooooxanne
Reading these comments makes me feel old. I remember listening to midi songs on my flip phone because I didn't have an mp3. Circa 2004
Sounds like my bedroom in 2007... RuneScape and disappointment
i mean why not
*ROCKS*
i never knew what changed until just now
CJ, you don't have to follow the damn train
Thanks, Neil.

ROCKS!
I love how this is exactly what I expected!

I've never understood why Sting sounds Like That.
I know he's British but that still doesn't explain it!
ROOOOXXXAAANEEEEEE

but let's be real: that's the most likely scenario here
MOUTH SONGS AS HARVEY BIRDMAN:
"Roxanne.mid"
Peanut attempts to show Harvey what a MIDI is.
i'm pretty excited to be the 805th listener
Back to the roots
There's something about this that makes me love it in some ways more than the actual song.
Good thing I'm already deaf to those high tones.
right after listening to this song i went on beepbox and started making songs 😭😭 those midi insstruments sound so cute!
Somebody please send this to Sting, and record his reaction. I'd pay money to see it.
simple yet effective.
Fun fact: if you listen to this on RUclips Music, it lists the artist as The Police. So according to Google, this is an official version of Roxanne by The Police.
I'm actually crying
The trumpet tickles my brain.

It's like he purposefully did the whole track without adding in the vocals to see if they lined up

This song emits a weirdly menacing aura
Very dank
