Is there any chance the jam session at the end could find it's way onto Spotify too? It's got such a fun sound! (Also great work on the album, it was a great time✌️)
i love that the album cover has the very specific vibe of a semi-obscure funk or ska album from the late 90s that has a cult following and makes people who've never heard about it go "sick album art i gotta check it out!" and people who have heard it go "you've NEVER listened to cartoon funk by the zong?"
the imaginary funky friends soundtrack too… i need him to make a show right now it feels like he is dangling the idea in front of our faces like it is a carrot on a stick.
If I had a dollar for every time Louie released a banger about ancient marine life, I'd have two dollars. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice. Also, Louie, I'm BEGGING you to release this on vinyl. I missed my chance to get The Full Pigeon, but I'd love to add this to my collection.
Louie Zong I am totally professing my love for you, your groovy music, and great drawings- nothing tops this, never fails to make me smile. You’re so talented and such an inspiration
As an artist, cartoon mine felt very... nice? to hear. Like a shared experience. Not so alone in my mine. On that note only a toad also felt close to home too. Been a hard day. This was my favorite part of it. Thanks.
there's a million things i like about this album, but i very specifically want to commend those absolutely KILLER borders you bothered making for the lyrics to sit in??? like that stuff is deceptively hard, i really really appreciate the extra effort.
I LOVE COELACANTH SO MUCH!! Will you be putting up these songs as separate uploads? I saw that someone else reposted it but didn't want to add that one to a playlist as I don't think it was done with your permission.
Love the cover it’s so goofy and cute ayo what da dog doin’ my favorite song here is “évolution of the eye” it’s funky and the lyrics is amazing, and also gives me just the two of us vibes
cried! cried!! over the love song to the coelacanth, and over the love song from the perspective of the tiktaalik. so many bangers on this album, i know what i'm listening to for the next 78 years. 💙🐟
Your description makes it feel like this is just some little project you threw out but this is genuinely some of the best music I've heard in the past few weeks damn 😭❤️
Awesome!! I love the blend of instrumentals and songs with lyrics! And as someone who loves reading lyrics and CC, I really appreciate you including your lyrics and so many cute animations with your music! Every detail is so wonderful and the vibes are gr8!! 😌 Can’t wait to listen to the whole thing!!! 🎶 🐛 🎶
This is such a good album, I’ve listened to it a couple times, I love the change in energy levels between songs. Makes it feel like you’re taking a cool cruise with a few twists and turns but youre just jaunty and gay for the ride. You make such great art Mr. Zong!
Evolution of the Eyes chorus has the same bassline as the chorus (especially the last chorus) of "Just the Two of Us". That is an awesome callback, I'm not sure if it's an intentional sampling or inspiration but you pulled it off really well! Its definitely a good bassline
You make the type of music I hear in my head. I specialize in rock and thrash metal and want to be multigenre. This album is itching all the right parts of my brain :3
This guy is going places. I already can feel him in the next best animated film/show, with his melodies just recognizable with his fans. I love everything you’re doing, louie! Huge support.
I was fully asleep in my bed with headphones on, and this came up in my playlist, and I woke up just enough to do a little hand jig with the music for a bit
Dude, you're like the GOD of funk! And all the songs sound amazing! I'm totally subbing to your channel, surprised I didn't do it sooner. Edit: Also thanks to you, I now know how to pronounce coelacanth.
ok sidenote but seeing louie in that album reminds me of steve from blue's clues and waaaaaaa louie would have made such an amazing steve type character, he is literally responsible for half my serotonin production
Absolutely amazing man, been following your work since the funk dojo and just think it’s incredible how you’re keeping this sound in prominence. Wish you all the best
all the music you make is just like a little pocket of joy. never fails to bring up my mood. my favourites here are furniture hellscape, rough edges, and signal noise. keep being awesome absolute legend :)
Your music is so cool, I love the feelings it gives, e.g. anxiety groove's instrumentals with the constant running up and down going riff are on point. coelacanth is so chill, the percussion and singing style used here work well with the melodic instruments. For some reason I really like the guitar in cartoon mines, though the piano vibes are fun too. And so on and so on. Such a nice album, wow.
a fun, chill album that inspires me to get to work on my own music, and being available on bandcamp to download for free (especially an album this good) is a big plus for me.
I'm really annoyed I can't give this more than one like.. But then I listen to the album and all negative feelings leave me :3 Thank you again, Louie. You are clearly an awesome and interesting person. You'd be a real cool friend, my dude.
its so god damn funky. i know we have been spoiled with this album but i wish you could make extended version of evolution of the eye it would make the rest of my life.
Still one of the best albums I've listened to. Banger all the way through, and manages to get me pumped and excited with such soft chords. It's really good.
I love the not-so-subtle meaning of Cartoon Mines. It speaks to...everyone in the kids show industry in a way that paints it as fun and joyous yet is the exact opposite. Thank you for that.
So many of these songs are so insightful. They really illustrate struggles with social anxiety, perfectionism, impostor syndrome, and bottling up your feelings.
I hope you get around to releasing this on vinyl someday dude! I would be honored to have this in my collection! (Also, as a Paleontologist, how could I not love a song about coelacanths!)
on spotify! open.spotify.com/album/3gfAT14Y9H8fkIf7zrGXEi?si=cjF5bRuqQDW3139wsxmUXA
🐨Combining funk and animation was a truly great, innovative idea, it looks very individual and sounds very kawaii! 🐣🐸🦀🐼🐙🐍🐱
Yay! Thanks for the link, Louie! 💫
Please, please, PLEASE put this out on vinyl! I'd love to add this to my collection so much!
ur big man on campus
Is there any chance the jam session at the end could find it's way onto Spotify too? It's got such a fun sound! (Also great work on the album, it was a great time✌️)
Clicking this video and immediately being greeted with “a worm welcome!” really wormed my day :)
Mine too :)
A genuinely heartworming experience!
Thank goodness it didn't worm your heart. Heartworms are nasty!
This is the best comment for this video
Yoouuuuu didn't!
i love that the album cover has the very specific vibe of a semi-obscure funk or ska album from the late 90s that has a cult following and makes people who've never heard about it go "sick album art i gotta check it out!" and people who have heard it go "you've NEVER listened to cartoon funk by the zong?"
i love music by The Zong
I will now be referring to Louie Zong as The Zong™ at all times thank you for enlightening me
the zong?
@@stevenaltos8821 The Zong, dude!!!
@@braydengeorg THE ZONG
Make this man the host of a children's semi-educational TV show with live action/animation hybrid presentation.
Louie'z world
the imaginary funky friends soundtrack too… i need him to make a show right now it feels like he is dangling the idea in front of our faces like it is a carrot on a stick.
@@s3lf1shsyan1d3 didn’t he have a part in a Cartoon Network show?
@@Mikescool444yeah, we bear bears
You truly are a musical wizard
A very good wizard :)
so cough up bud, he needs money.
A godamn wizard
4 albums in a year Louie!?!? You are truly spoiling us, thank you.
in fact many more and there's still half a year to go
makes king gizzard and the lizard wizard look like slackers
@@thehearingaid hey, their record is still above Louie's. that could change pretty quickly, though

Also, Louie, I'm BEGGING you to release this on vinyl. I missed my chance to get The Full Pigeon, but I'd love to add this to my collection.
I second this!
mola mola? lmaoo
Which one is his other marine life track?
@@lostinreverie2183 Trilobite and Mola Mola
Three bangers, not another crab is also very good
Louie Zong I am totally professing my love for you, your groovy music, and great drawings- nothing tops this, never fails to make me smile. You’re so talented and such an inspiration
holy crap i love yur profile pic nicki
This is awesome! Never stop doing this! Actually, no. Do whatever you want, just know that I really hope you keep doing this

I LOVE COELACANTH SO MUCH!! Will you be putting up these songs as separate uploads? I saw that someone else reposted it but didn't want to add that one to a playlist as I don't think it was done with your permission.
i am definitely planning on making videos for some individual songs, coelacanth included!!
@@everydaylouie Old coelacanth with a beard and a cane!!! 😃
Love the cover it’s so goofy and cute
ayo what da dog doin’
my favorite song here is “évolution of the eye” it’s funky and the lyrics is amazing, and also gives me just the two of us vibes
"Just the two of us, evolution of the eye, just the two of us, evolve the eye"
cried! cried!! over the love song to the coelacanth, and over the love song from the perspective of the tiktaalik. so many bangers on this album, i know what i'm listening to for the next 78 years. 💙🐟
Your description makes it feel like this is just some little project you threw out but this is genuinely some of the best music I've heard in the past few weeks damn 😭❤️
This album is heart worming! Thank you so much for making this amazing music that can help me through my exams!
the chorus of anxiety groove, like a lot of your songs, gives me a feeling vaguely reminiscent of scratching an itch, and I love it so much.
A whole new funky album for my ears to enjoy!!! Delightful as always, Louie!
Awesome!! I love the blend of instrumentals and songs with lyrics!
And as someone who loves reading lyrics and CC, I really appreciate you including your lyrics and so many cute animations with your music! Every detail is so wonderful and the vibes are gr8!! 😌 Can’t wait to listen to the whole thing!!! 🎶 🐛 🎶

Evolution of the Eye is just way too beautiful 😭😭😭
Always happy to see new music form louie
Funky? Check. Fresh? Also check. Thanks for another set of bangers!
Evolution of the Eyes chorus has the same bassline as the chorus (especially the last chorus) of "Just the Two of Us". That is an awesome callback, I'm not sure if it's an intentional sampling or inspiration but you pulled it off really well! Its definitely a good bassline
You make the type of music I hear in my head. I specialize in rock and thrash metal and want to be multigenre. This album is itching all the right parts of my brain :3
I love Rough Edges. I like to imagine it's from an odd-couple sitcom cartoon starring Kiki and Bouba from that one psychology experiment.
still cant get over the absolute boss energy of this channel
You're the most creative person I ever know.
oh man, i love this so much. this has become another "listen to while drawing or something" video. evolution of the eye was in my head all day
Bro, I had a whole dance party to this whole album. I love what you’re doing!
This was recommended to me by a friend, did not disappoint :3
Your squad's take on Strasbourg/St.Denis to close, a lovely choice. Slick album, guy.
Great to hear a song on the lad the coelacanth!
10/10 silliness rating. Very silly. I shall watch this 200 times now.
Holy shit so many of these are so clever
And I Outsolve You is perfectly robotic for the subject at hand
Thanks for always putting out amazing stuff I love jamming out while I’m in school
The songs in this album are so so so satisfying, I love your music so much
nothing better than the "Louie Zhong released a new album!" notification
By far my favorite Louie Zong album thus far, I’ve been obsessed with it for months
"Good God!" the anxiety groove is so accurate 😨😅
This guy is going places. I already can feel him in the next best animated film/show, with his melodies just recognizable with his fans. I love everything you’re doing, louie! Huge support.
the stank on that anxiety groove! MMM!
I couldn't think of a better word to describe the feeling of Anxiety Groove than that
@@temporalCaster why thank you
SUNSET SKATING IS SO GOOD
anxiety groove!! what a mood
this is so lovely omg
ikr!!!
@@stevenaltos8821 i am glad we can relate!!
@@nowayjose1870 you too!
that's such a fun album cover!!
i bet it was a treat to put that together :o
Such a fun genre, great work! Love the beat drop in Worm Welcome!
serious mark lettieri vibes on anxiety groove. awesome stuff on here dude!
never fell in love with an album so fast omg!!! absolutely love this !! :D
I literally haven't found a channel that makes better study music than you; your music always has the perfect spice 💯
I was fully asleep in my bed with headphones on, and this came up in my playlist, and I woke up just enough to do a little hand jig with the music for a bit
(also fully woke up from this so I could write this thought and take my headphones off to sleep more comfortably)
>lovely work as always
the bass in evolution of the eye is so good
Making a song about how someone evolved just so they could look at their lover is so adorable and genius. I love this album.
fun, funky, beautiful. an animated and lovingly crafted album. thank you so much for releasing this.
Whenever I’m feeling down, Louie’s music will always be there to put a smile on my face.
My hat is off to you, Louie.
Dude, you're like the GOD of funk! And all the songs sound amazing!
I'm totally subbing to your channel, surprised I didn't do it sooner.
Edit: Also thanks to you, I now know how to pronounce coelacanth.
I feel like I could write a whole essay on this album and how specific songs remind me of past albums or songs
ok sidenote but seeing louie in that album reminds me of steve from blue's clues and waaaaaaa louie would have made such an amazing steve type character, he is literally responsible for half my serotonin production
I had a dream last night that I saw this album in a record store for some reason…dunno why
Man you're actually so amazing and I'm glad my yt algorithm has been going for new content recently, what a find!
I was having a rough, anxious moment, and I popped on your channel. This really made my day. Amazing groove, Louie Zong!
Absolutely amazing man, been following your work since the funk dojo and just think it’s incredible how you’re keeping this sound in prominence. Wish you all the best

And so on and so on.
Such a nice album, wow.
This is awesome! I love the funny little songs you make. The lyrics don't have to make sense for it to be jammin! Keep up the awesome work, dude!!
Your music (and visuals) are always so interesting and pleasing to me. I appreciate your creativity.
This is probably overall my favorite album from you. Always find myself coming back to listen again
a fun, chill album that inspires me to get to work on my own music, and being available on bandcamp to download for free (especially an album this good) is a big plus for me.
It worms my heart ♡
I'm really annoyed I can't give this more than one like.. But then I listen to the album and all negative feelings leave me :3
Thank you again, Louie. You are clearly an awesome and interesting person. You'd be a real cool friend, my dude.
anxiety song perfect for classroom celebrations i dont feel too dancy to helps
its so god damn funky. i know we have been spoiled with this album but i wish you could make extended version of evolution of the eye it would make the rest of my life.
I appreciate you wrote a longform MadVerse City round.
Still one of the best albums I've listened to. Banger all the way through, and manages to get me pumped and excited with such soft chords. It's really good.
I love these extra long albums!
The chorus to "Evolution Of The Eye" What a belter 😎😎
the strasbourg/ st denis jam is soooo goooood- i cant get over it
discovered it by sheer luck with youtube recommandation, I'm loving it! Great work.
"I outsolve you" really goes so crazy. A diss track from a robot is such a fun idea
Fighting Grimm in hollow knight while listening to it and jar of pickles
As soon as the first song started I instantly clicked the like button. Totally living for the funky beats!!
I love the not-so-subtle meaning of Cartoon Mines.
It speaks to...everyone in the kids show industry in a way that paints it as fun and joyous yet is the exact opposite. Thank you for that.
What an amazing album! And I can't help but think of the pool game music from Wii Play when listening to your Virtual Home title :o
very heartworming louie thanks bro
I quite enjoy this music thank you
louie you continue to do nothing but delight and inspire, keep it up!!!
I used to like lousy louie so much when I was a kid! thank you for posting the soundtrack!
I LOVE your albums, Keep up the amazing work! Cant wait to see more!
I love thidsd album but the start of only a toad always gives me a heart attack
It's really amazing how much passion this guy puts into his work.
My favorite album! Love to see it on soundcloud.
So many of these songs are so insightful. They really illustrate struggles with social anxiety, perfectionism, impostor syndrome, and bottling up your feelings.
My dad and I listened to this on a car ride and he loved it. He said your music belongs in a movie.
Sunset skating is my new jam 🤩 thank you for creating this album! The music is such a vibe! Love it 😍
I hope you get around to releasing this on vinyl someday dude! I would be honored to have this in my collection! (Also, as a Paleontologist, how could I not love a song about coelacanths!)
goodness. sincerely, thank you. its not every day I connect with music like this.
Left me smiling the whole way through, absolutely fantastic!!
I clicked for Godzilla.. and was happy to realize it was a Louie Zong cd. Ty for the worm welcome
I love that you've been gifted with infinite artistic talent by apollo himself but still get anxiety
OBSESSED 2022 is such a good year for music😭😭😭
The album cover brings life into me
