"The Next Best Thing" Scott the Woz x 8-Bit Big Band - Orchestra Recording Session!

- Опубликовано: 23 дек 2023
- 📣 This tune is now on streaming platforms! 📣
Thank you so much to Scott the Woz for asking us to contribute an original song (and some instrumentals) to his latest Christmas video!!
Scott approached me about co-writing a brand new bespoke video game music inspired xmas tune for his channel about trying to save some money this Christmas by buying bootleg ROM hacks and other nefarious games, and of course I jumped at the opportunity!! Here's a look at the recording session behind the scenes for his video. You can see the song in context on his channel here:
• Have a Bootleg Gaming ...
LYRICS:
Well it's Christmas man, what do you have planned?
Surely something legal and just
Though you must admit that your gifts lack grit,
perhaps it's time you should indulge in sings outside of gluttony and lust
(Like greed! Now THATS a sin!)
I know that it's expensive to come up with great gifts
and the hottest games your kids already own
But if you listen to my song the answers been here all along
Perhaps it's time to buy a game that's brewed at home
So maybe...
How 'bout the next best thing?
Like this bootleg GBA game called return of the king?
It might not be Nintendo or Square Enix or Sony
but you have to admit that the names got a ring
(Ring a ding ding it passes the title test!)
Theres super Mario 4 and 14 (yes thats real look it up)
They're just as good as Mario Odyssey
you know your kids will play whatever if it's wrapped up with string
so throw that dirty ROM hack into their stocking
and get the next best thing
I've got Somari and Kirby Red Diamond (ooh!)
Perhaps you'd like Pokemon Chaos Black
Mario Kart Fighter and 7 Grand Dad
No one will know that they're fake, so cut yourself some slack!
You deserve a break, a game is a game,
and try to ignore that built in sense of shame
They can't all be Call of Duty
so close your eyes, swallow your pride, and don't you dare be snooty!
So how 'bout the next best thing?
Just think of all of the money that you'll save cha-ching!
For why spend $70 on a triple A game,
when you could buy a home made one that has the same name?
(Shop local folks!)
I understand your reservation, getting Crash 2 Advance can sting
But if you give your cast to me I guarantee your kids will see
and though these games might not be great it's way cheaper to emulate!
So trust in Scott and you can't lose, use the savings on some booze
and this Christmas they will dance and sing, for the
Next! Best! Thing!

GOD THIS WAS THE LEAST EXPECTED CROSSOVER OF THE ENTIRE YEAR
Great that it happened though!
AND THE BEST
paramount and Warner brothers:
@therealestcupheadonyt That's more desperation than anything else. Also, technically it's Discovery who's begging Viacom to buy them since they got duped into buying WB from At&t.
Makes sense
So my man Scott the Woz hired an actual orchestra for his silly holiday special about bootlegs? ABSOLUTELY GENIUS!!!
A GRAMMY AWARD WINNING orchestra
@@eddmower2297 WHAT?!?
@@NoahDaArk They're the 8-Bit Big Band, they won a Grammy for their cover of Meta Knight's Revenge! They posted the song to their channel as well.
Almost right. In fact, Charlie hired Scott for his next hit. How generous of Scott!
@@max_the_german4989Source?
7 grand dad has officially appeared on the 8 bit big band channel, what a reality
As a siivagunner fan, I can approve.
Flintstones theme is a real jazz standard so
@@retronymph that's true!
1:34 FLEENSTONES?!
AUGHH FLEEN GRAND
I can't believe the Grammy award winning orchestra made music for the Scott the Woz video where he talks about 7 Grand Dad
Yup. Happens.
The 7 Bit Grand Dad
WE MAKING IT OUT THE BLUE BORDER WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥💯💯🗣🗣🔥💯🔥🔥🗣💯💯🔥🔥💯💯🗣🗣🔥🔥
WE BLOWIN THIS GAME WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥
This + the outro BETTER make it to Spotify
I did not register what song was playing during the outro until this comment
Well you must be happy now!
They did
The writers cooked with this! The mix of Scott’s comedy and the little notes of holiday music just are insane!
The guy can sing TOO?!
What can’t Scott do, honestly? 😂🤩
Get laid XD
Yee of little faith
@@LeScarletSinger2he’s more of a recreational virgin though
@@gerbh4339yeah, he can get married anytime he wants! Watch:
Playing Chibi Robo Zip Lash (no kidding, in the bloopers he shows that Justin a.k.a. Jerry Attricks was playing the entire game)
I was just thinking how we needed some 8-Bit Band Christmas music...and boom! There it is! Well done!
Scott's gotten SO much better at singing over the past few years. This might be his best vocal performance yet
My favorite RUclipsr collab with my favorite big band? True Christmas present right here
2:28 Scott when all at with this part❤. A fantastic way to end 2023.
This is so unbelievably cool. I knew the moment the song started it was gonna be you guys and you absolutely killed it on this and the two credits themes!!
Really hope the credit themes get releases!
@@j-mc2144 Commenting here because i'm looking for them too haha, especially the second one
@@natiprot69Credits themes are “Break In” (his new outro after like 5 years of using “breakout” from 3D Dot Game Heroes) and the other one is a big band jazzy remix of You’re not an RPG guy.
The shock of this existing may take me weeks to recover from
I was wondering why the music in Scott's latest video was so good, and now I know why!
Wonderfully done!
Scott the woz is such a legend. He just sings with an Orchester. This is such an insane good song. 😊
I was watching the scott video and immediately recognized the distinct sound and was so exited. Happy holidays to the band!
I cannot believe it. I get back into Scott the Woz, and immediately THIS happens? Absolutely INCREDIBLE!
The little burst of Deck The Halls at the end made me snort-giggle
You wanna know something that I think is awesome about this? It feels like it was pulled straight out of a Broadway Musical Theatre Show. It serves a similar purpose to a song in a show, and the way the entire song keeps moving towards that end point feels very musical-theater-y as well.
I didn't realize how close Scott's voice is to Louie Zong's
Y’all went all out for this, and commend you for it.
Certainly wasn't expecting to see this. Excellent work!
As soon as this is put on spotify I am adding it to all my playlists.
im astonished that one of my favorite bands would collab with my favorite owner of sonic 2 with a line on it
This was delightful. The song was fantastic! As was the credits medley, too!
I would absolutely KILL for an 8BBB cover of Stupid Nintendo Games, it's practically MADE for this ensemble
This made me grin my butt off. Merry Christmas to us, and to all of you! Thank you so much for helping create this fun little diddy for all of us!
“Avengers: Infinity War is the best crossove-“
The GREATEST crossover I NEVER thought would happen. PLEASE tell me this is going to be released on Spotify PLEASE!!!
Yesterday when I saw the notification to this I audibly said "WHAT" in the middle of a secret santa on the family party. XD
Perfect as usual too, just can't hide that I was slightly disappointed you guys didn't sneak a little 3D Dot Hero Game's Breakout in the middle of the Break In outro, or specially on the outro suite. XD
If we could afford to have kids, we'd definitely save on gifts for them by sailing the high seas. 👍🏴☠
did he literally collaborate with a grammy winning orchestra just for a video gag??
Best crossover of the decade. This was such a wonderful surprise, watching this for first time
Y’all were so amazing
this was so fantastic! absolutely incredible video AND soundtrack in this day an age none the less
I love Scott and you all, merry Christmas ❤
I could cry this is so beautiful
Both the Scott video and the complementing musical piece work so well together
Was so stoked to see this collab, yall killed it as per usual :)
This entire production surprised me! I’m a huge nut when it comes to musicals (and orchestra music!) and I’m glad Scott puts these in his episodes! You all did a fantastic job! The orchestration was tremendous!!!
AMAZING FREAKING CROSSOVER
Disembodied voice Scott is my favorite Scott
Amazing.
truly a christmas miracle that scott released the video in time!
Thank you for helping to make what might be Scott’s best song yet.
Wow, I did not expect this collab, but I will take it all in no matter what.
NO WAY YOU GUYS ARE UNBELIEVABLY COOL
Beautiful, and hilarious!~
I love this, We getting out of Christmas with this one
This song gives me Rankin/Bass vibes. I kinda love it.
YO POG? I HAVENT EVEN SEEN THE SPECIAL YET AND IM ALREADY EVEN MORE EXCITED
Need this on itunes and spotify 🙏
We making it out of somari’s green bill zone with this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
*How is it legal to be that hot?!* Jared Schonig can't be real 😅😆
man, this song is grand
I just realized how much this sounds like a Family Guy song.
(Sort of like something like You've Got A Lot To See)
OH SHOOT THEY GOT THE DOUBLE REEDS IN THE STUDIO 😱😱😱
Hell yes, my two favorite RUclipsrs
Absolutely insane crossover and I could not be happier
YOO 2 OF MY FAV RUclipsRS COLLABING!!!! BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!
GREATEST COLLAB OF THE CENTURY
such a random collab lol
This whole song reminds me a lot of AVByte's own musical songs they made back in the early to mid 2010s. And before this, I definitely have heard of this key/pitch used many times decades past. Great C major key that's for sure.
This goes hard actually
That was a great song!
Happy holidays.
Ironically, this is the BEST thing 🎁🎄
It's actually grown on me. It's so cheery lol
I lost it when I saw you guys in the premiere
PLEASE I BEG YOU PLEASE MAKE A FULL CHRISTMAS ALBUM WITH SCOTT FOR NEXT YEAR PLEASE
This colab goes craaazy
Funny that this comes out just after Nintendo shut down Link's Awakening PC...
Merry Christmas everyone.
awesome !!
Best Christmas song of the year. (imo)
HERMOSO / BEAUTIFUL
Can’t wait to see Why Don’t You Play Them and You’re Not an RPG Guy
He can sing pretty well actually great job
BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER!!!!!
