Okay, I've seen someone say that you made Nickelback into a swing band. I'm not convinced. This feels like its own genre, and I really want it to exist, now.
I agree like it does not sound much like swing at all. It still has all the rock instrumentation but it does have those back up singers and a slight groovier sound to it. It sounds like really cool. I know of plenty of indie rock bands that have stuff like trumpets in them or plenty of backup singers but none sound like this. I think it may be the singing as Chad Kroeger's voice sounds so much better in the version maybe its that slight auto-tune I hear, but it's more likely that something about those great back up singers and the newer feel fits his voice more than rock ever did. I dont understand it but I love it. I think we should call this possibly new and beautiful genre Butt Swing (butt rock + swing). I think it is fitting
And a universe where Ray Charles is a Canadian heavy metal singer known for writing shallow but super catchy about sex, drugs, and rock-'n'-roll, and he's the most famous black musician to come out of Canada (2nd being Drake).
It weirdly sounds like a lot of the songs fnaf mascot horror/cover channels were making in the mid 2010’s I think I just pieced together that I think a lot of them were just made in swing rhythm, I’m not enough of a music much less mascot horror music guy so am I onto something here or am i just insane?
@@theradionicrevival8068 fnaf fan here, I don't really know what you're talking about. I don't think I've really heard a swing rhythm for a FNAF song or cover before. The closest thing I can think of from that time frame is a song called "stay calm" but even that's not swing. I would honestly be interested in a swing type FNAF song though!
WOW!! 'There, you ENHANCED IT!' Who knew a mash-up between Ray Charles and Nickleback would hit so hard? You even had 1960s crowds jivin' and thrivin'. Amazing!
I can actually see Chad Kroeger digging this rendition, he's the kind of musician that doesn't take stuff too seriously. It'd be worth a reaction segment.
@Hannah-t5z I wouldn’t call it wisdom when you literally know what the future holds. Honestly throughout the film Marty proves himself to be not very intelligent. As my sister said when we were rewatching the movies, “He’s a pretty little idiot, isn’t he?” 😂
I maintain that Nickelback does not deserve the hate they get. Their music isn't revolutionary or anything, but it's not bad. It's pretty middle of the road pop rock. What's more, everything I've seen from people that have met them personally says they're just a great bunch of guys in general. I knew a guy who worked back stage at the stadium in my city, setting up and tearing down various events. He said there was only one time they pretended to not recognize a celebrity when they came to the back door and that was Nickelback, and they were really good humored about it. They were also incredibly polite, please and thank you for everything, and they kept apologizing for asking for stuff because they didn't want to be a burden to the people who were being paid specifically to bring them stuff.
@@chojin6136 Yeah, I think it basically started out as a meme, probably an in-joke fast lost the context as it spread. I'm pretty indifferent to their music; if it's on I'll listen to it but I won't go out of my way to find it. But there are some truly awful people making legitimately terrible music and they deserve the hate far more than these guys. Everything I've heard about them suggests that they're just a great bunch of guys to know. Rush is apparently another band like that. Some great guys who just love what they do.

It became a trend like it is to hate on Limp Bizkit now but the people I see bashing them on FB that I've known since HS were bumping LB back in 90s every day.

Nickelback: I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling And this is how you remind me This is how you remind me Of what I really am CHORUS (sung together) It's not like you to say "Sorry" (Ladies: Hit the road Jack and don't you come back ) I was waiting on a different story (No more, no more, no more, no more) This time, I'm mistaken (Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more) For handing you a heart worth breaking And I've been wrong, I've been down Been to the bottom of every bottle (Ladies: That's right!)

Nickelback: It's not like you didn't know that I said, "I love you, " and I swear, I still do [ _slide whistle_ ] And it must have been so bad 'Cause living with me must have damn near killed you And this is how you remind me Of what I really am CHORUS (sung together) It's not like you to say "Sorry" (Ladies: Hit the road Jack and don't you come back) I was waiting on a different story (No more, no more, no more, no more) This time, I'm mistaken (Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more) For handing you a heart worth breaking And I've been wrong, I've been down (Ladies: Hit the road Jack and don't you come back) Been to the bottom of every bottle (No more, no more, no more, no more) These five words in my head (Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more) Scream, "Are we having fun yet?" _Applause_
Not just the beat, but the lyrics surprisingly go well, too. Where Chad is saying how mistaken he was and that the girl is not like her to say sorry for the problems he caused. The girl brings up stuff that reminds him of how he was like and that he still feels for her and felt for her because living with him damn near killed her, hence why she is saying "hit the road, jack". I interpreted the "What you say?" as a helpful friend who is listening to Chad's story.
Interesting fact for this song: Ray Charles and Chad Kroger frequented a gentlemen's club. They were band mates at the time. They had a favorite server who was already friendly to both of them. Both Ray and Chad fancied that server and wanted to date her. This rivalry caused a schism in their friendship. It showed in this music. Tipping back then were not as high as we see today. It was usually in amounts of nickles and dimes. When the server ultimately decided to date Ray instead of Chad, that server gave Chad back his tips, a nickle, as a sign that she had chosen Ray over him. That ended the relationship between Ray and Chad. Chad went off to create his own band in memoriam of this event, Nickelback.
@@ThereIRuinedIt The story is not true. In 1995, Village Idiot changed its name to Nickelback, which originated from the nickel in change that band member Mike Kroeger gave customers at his job at Starbucks; he would frequently say, "Here's your nickel back." Ray Charles was 65 by 1995 and he had a dozen children.

Generally speaking, how do you do this? Voice isolation and bending the pitch? It's so flawless, I can't imagine how much effort you've put in over the years to become so proficient
He was probably helped out by the fact that the vocalist of Nickleback, Chad Kroeger, intentionally keeps a steady consistent tone and pitch through out his songs. So that he can focus on the delivery, and so that he can consistently give the same performance time after time. What this means, is that all of a his vocal lines for any particular song will generally have a consistent tone and pitch. So its a lot easier to Isolate his voice and manipulate it by bending then pitch. In contrast, some one like Chester Bennington or Brandon Urie won't be quite so easy to isolate or manipulate
I hope mr There i ruined it will do this for Stevie Miracle, or eh Wonder, as well. A nice mix up. He would not have a problem seeing it coming, as he is also able to see a mic falling over when it is knocked over by a guy running past it. While music is playing and everybody is loud. He still was able to catch the mic without a problem. Hence why i call him mr Stevie Miracle.
Altering chord progressions with a DAW is a skill that still mystifies me. One day I'll figure it out, and when I do, I hope to be half this good. This is very well done!
It's a song of a guy getting kicked out of home while the guy is protesting from the bottom of his heart...which is pretty much what the original song is. Great job!
Beautiful. A true masterpiece. This piece has earned it’s place in the back of my brain for all eternity. Just when I begin to forget about it, there it will be, slowly rebuilding itself in my memories and never allowing the syncretic awe-inspiring sounds of Nickelback and Ray Charles’ mix to lay dormant for long. Thanks! I love it! New sub 😍😄
Today is the *1* year anniversary of when "Nickelback and Ray Charles were not supposed to mix this well" was uploaded! You didn't ruin anything. This was golden, dude! 🤓➡️😆👌
This does sound like you did very little pitch corrections, which is creepy af, and just as impressive. Although, you missed the opportunity to call it 'Nickelback, Jack.'
I can't get this out of my head so I finally went back to listen to the Nickelback original and remind myself how garbage it actually is. You didn't just mix them, you created something completely new and it's genius. I want a full length version of this so badly so I can put it in my standard rotation.
It is genius. In the middle of this histrionic non-apoligies the back-up singers tell him to hit there road, they are so over his drama. Just 100 percent improvement, thanks so much!!
As a blind person, I approve! I never knew that Ray Charles and Nickelback would sing that good! You ruined it in the best way possible! Keep up the great work!

He would not have a problem seeing it coming, as he is also able to see a mic falling over when it is knocked over by a guy running past it. While music is playing and everybody is loud.
He still was able to catch the mic without a problem.
Hence why i call him mr Stevie Miracle.
Altering chord progressions with a DAW is a skill that still mystifies me. One day I'll figure it out, and when I do, I hope to be half this good. This is very well done!
Please upload it to Spotify, I think the version is really cool and I really enjoy listening to it. :)
You didn't ruin any of this, you made something genuinely appealing in its own right.
It's a song of a guy getting kicked out of home while the guy is protesting from the bottom of his heart...which is pretty much what the original song is. Great job!
I come back to this every few weeks. Still inexplicably slaps.
0:37 THAT HARMONY THO!
I'm genuinely surprised how well his voice works with this era of Jazz music
We need Nickelback to hear this and react. Then I'll patiently await their next album. Because I feel like this would inspire them big-time.
Absolute masterpiece! The "blind man" line made my day 😀
Dammit you made me listen to Nickelback. That's some talent right there.
You guys don't understand how incredible it sounds! Thank you so much for this
This guy really works a fuckin slide whistle into all his videos and I’m so here for it
This needs to be a single!
yes.
Maybe.
So.
Beautiful. A true masterpiece. This piece has earned it’s place in the back of my brain for all eternity. Just when I begin to forget about it, there it will be, slowly rebuilding itself in my memories and never allowing the syncretic awe-inspiring sounds of Nickelback and Ray Charles’ mix to lay dormant for long.
Thanks! I love it! New sub 😍😄
This is absolute fire, I need a full version. I’ve been looping this song in the shower can’t get enough
Holy cow! That was something else. Words can’t describe how good this was.
Insane editing, the cymbal crashes match perfectly.
I don't think you get enough credit for how good at picture editing you are. Its part of what makes it so good!
Not a big Ray Charles fan, but I do like a few of his songs. Love Nickleback. And this mashup is pure gold.
One of the best mashups, surprisingly
finally, i have be waiting forever for this song to come back.
Man, the only thing that's ruined, is it needs to be MUCH LONGER! I listen to this all the time! Thank you for this one!!
That blend works surprisingly well!
Those songs have no business being that fking good mashed together... insane!
This is one of the best mash-ups I've ever heard.
I value your commitment to the zip whistle.
I like that this sort of creates an understandable story. Like the background singers and his memories of his girlfriend breaking up with him
Today is the *1* year anniversary of when "Nickelback and Ray Charles were not supposed to mix this well" was uploaded! You didn't ruin anything. This was golden, dude! 🤓➡️😆👌
This is absolutely brilliant. Hit the Road Jack is one of my all time favourites. Epic mix! There you made it awesome!
Why is this freaking flawless 😂
This does sound like you did very little pitch corrections, which is creepy af, and just as impressive.
Although, you missed the opportunity to call it 'Nickelback, Jack.'
Therapist: jazzy nickleback isn't real, he can't frighten you.
Jazzy Nickleback:
I can't get this out of my head so I finally went back to listen to the Nickelback original and remind myself how garbage it actually is. You didn't just mix them, you created something completely new and it's genius. I want a full length version of this so badly so I can put it in my standard rotation.
😊 I like how the Bassist is jamming with the song at 0:30
It should be “there I fixed it” as in the nickel back song.
It is genius. In the middle of this histrionic non-apoligies the back-up singers tell him to hit there road, they are so over his drama. Just 100 percent improvement, thanks so much!!
I consider this incontrovertible evidence that Nickelback is better than we all gave them credit for...
....and I feel some kind of way about that....
This brings new meaning to a mash-up. Amazing work.
Mash-up? This is folded, son.
Wow, that was catchy, funny, and great editing also.. Well done!
I enjoy both, never thought I'd enjoy both together. Wonderful!
There, you improved Nickelback
As a blind person, I approve! I never knew that Ray Charles and Nickelback would sing that good!
You ruined it in the best way possible! Keep up the great work!
I would buy an entire album of this!! Soooo good!!!
I love the way Ray Charles is living his best life while playing the piano
I ironically LOVE this mashup. I always make sure to watch ALL of your videos now since this dropped in the hopes that something as great as this is discovered again. Are there even any other songs out there that match this vibe?
Ok but Nickelback is unironically one of my favorite bands, and this is friggin amazing 😍
