2 facts about the wild woody ost 1. Ron "Bumblefoot" Tahl, the composer, was given one month to create the sound track and was not paid. 2. he went on to play lead guitar for Guns and Roses from 2006 to 2014.
My problem with a lot of what people consider Worst VGM is the conflation of "bad music" with "silly music." So many songs are deliberately made to sound funny and janky, like Spiderman 2's Pizza music, but there's clear intent - it's a crappy recording of two amateurs playing Funiculi on a recorder and accordion that keeps speeding up and playing at higher pitch until the melody abruptly collapses in on itself and the recording ends. It plays into the absurdity of the missions' premise - that a beloved superhero is still so poor he has to use his superpowers to deliver pizza when he's not fighting crime. Contrast with Basement from Resident Evil: Director's Cut. Delving into the depths of the mansion is *meant* to be a tense, unsettling experience, which is brought down by the most flatulent horn sample the composer could've picked playing what sounds like a random jumble of notes. The braphorn is also the only sample used after the first note, so have fun trying to parse "melody" from "harmony" here.
Fully agree. Songs like the Breadbug theme were done deliberately as just a silly song. Additionally the grizzco songs from Splatoon were made with odd time signatures and disjointed instruments just so they could be offputting. There's some clear intent behind some songs. And then theres the Basement Theme from Resident Evil and Burning Man's Soul and 1942.
I’m conflicted on whether to call Crazy Chocobo bad or cheesy. I kinda giggle from how much it attempts to sound edgy, but the guitar part makes the song physically hurt my wife. In contrast, the cursed music that is the Genesis version of Funhouse makes me giggle just thinking of it, while my wife sees it as her theme for when she needs coffee.
@@heroshadow42 I'd say it's cheesy, since it's so over the top edgy that it's clearly trying to be a parody, and there's a clear, genuine effort to be entertaining. It's unexpected, but not bad
Fully agreed. Context is very important. Like Shambhala is meant to represent the Agarthians' civilisation being something out a dystopian future, the OTT dubstep serves to drive that point home. Another derided track's Zato's Guilty Gear Strive, which gets flak for those two brutally dissonant melodies when the entire point is that they're representing the two completely different souls inhabiting his body.
The basement music from Resident Evil: Director’s Cut used the wrong instrument. The composer couldn’t fix it because he had a lie going that he was deaf like a Japanese Beethoven and correcting it would blow his cover. As a result, the game went out with a creepy ambient song accidentally played with trumpets.
I'm gonna need you to elaborate on the composer pretending to be deaf, because of all the explanations that music choice could have had, that was not the one I expected.
@@deen7530 I don’t know a whole lot, just that he sold himself as a deaf guy with musical talent, composing music without hearing it like people think Beethoven did
@@deen7530 They called him the Japanese Beethoven. He was in fact both not actually deaf, and also, not actually the composer of any of the music he was credited with; it was all ghost written.
I love whenever the Persona Trinity Soul song pops up but as someone who actually watched that anime I am cursed with the knowledge that that song never plays long enough for the lyrics to kick in. It's like a scene transition song it plays for like 20 seconds Max
Shambhala is the funniest fucking thing to happen in any RPG I've ever played. You go fight the mole people illuminati with magic nukes and they have dubstep
@@camtheman7654 it makes perfect sense in context it's just completely out of nowhere and has zero precedent in either three houses itself or past FE games so it is hilariously jarring
3:20 in regards to "This shit's kind of hard" The problem with the Sonic Chronicles song is that it's not JUST that it's bad, but that any reason it might sound good is purely because it's actually a cover of Diamond Dust Zone from the Genesis version of Sonic 3D blast, adding an extra layer of "how did they mess this up" from them having to change the music due to legal issues
That's not even the worst of it. What did they did to the big arm boss theme from sonic 3 is criminal. At least the generations 3DS remix makes up for it.
And also this is actually a fan-made MIDI called diamond.mid from the late 90's/early 00's that could be found on vgmusic (I think the author is John Weeks judging on how my MIDI editor crashes all the time at his files). There are also compositions MIDIs of which were taken from Sonic Robo Blast 1
The lore for the CHECK IT OUT IM IN THE HOUSE LIKE CARPET song (which is an anime adaptation original) is that it’s an existing freestyle from a sample pack that they slapped chill beats to study to over 😭
Sonic Chronicles OST is such a sad story. It was basically all scrapped close to release due to legal reasons so they had to use random midis of other sonic songs
What I'd heard is that the impending purchase of BioWare by EA meant that they had to rush much of the game's development like hell just to get it out.
Did some research. The guy responsible for the Spiderman song was Fletcher Beasley. He is extremely successful, having done music for the Silent Hill 2006 movie, multiple scooby doo movies/shows, and now teaches Midi composition at UCLA
Fun fact: that song from Muv Luv that sounds exactly like Livin La Vida Loca was removed from the North American Steam release due to obvious copyright issues.
Yes him learning about Shambala was so funny, aa that song is one of those things that we'll it makes sense and is again trying to way different to everything else because its connected to a plot point that's meant to be surprising, the issue is that it's way to over blown, like 3h sound track is goated and so underrated, yet that tract also make it seem like they just gave it to a random guy who knows dubstep but didn't tell him it was for a game and not a fucking rave. I'm si glad Conney actually gave it a chance and saw how funny it is
Shamballa was funny to me because i did blue lions first So the whole game was normal fantasy music Then to do golden deer and fucking dubstep comes outta nowhere got me
I dont really listen to video game music at all, so I have no recollection of that song whatsoever after playing 3H but it rules, its genuinely very funny.
The Spider-Man song is so bad it's good. 18:55 Shambhala in Three Houses was the most HUH tonal shift in music in the whole game, the dubstep out of nowhere made me question what game I was playing
Up until that point, this game was really compelling and grounded (by Fire Emblem standards), but then you’re bombed by dubstep mole-people with heads the size of a car battery. Great game honestly
It really was out of nowhere. It kinda made sense because of the the whole underground high tech evil society thing, but to be fair that plot point also kinda came out of nowhere. The end of three houses is just confusing.
Shambhala makes sense in the context of the game, as in dub step/seem electronic music would make sense for that area of the game. Its mainly the fact that instead of just and light elements to add a more confusing feeling since that was the point of the track as again the area it takes place in completely different from the rest of the game for thematic reasons. The main issue is that they went way to hard into the dubstep vibes to the point its very clear the composer either was not involed as the rest of fe3h music is actually peak, or he has no clue what dubstep is and just made beeps and boops. I love 3h so so much and even then I find the track very funny and also bad even though it technically fits.
I guess it's a situation where it's trying so hard to be cool that it becomes uncool, and it's so genuinely uncool it comes back around to being cool again
19:20 Not ONLY does it pop up 60 hours into the game at the penultimate chapter, it's also a route exclusive & they follow it up by the final stage being OPERA. Honestly, shoutout to Golden Deer; Genuinely think I have a higher opinion of 3 Houses than most because I played it 1st.

We seriously need more of these in the future. I've seen "putting the best video game songs in a bracket" videos using this site (or similar sites) but this has SO much more potential.
It's interesting hear coney joke about how he can't "catch the beat" on the splatoon salmon run song, since the grizzco tracks were purposefully made with strange time signatures to make them offputting.
This one isn't, this is the lobby theme and is more meant to sound really sketchy (it just has a normal 4/4 time signature). While the music that actually plays during a salmon run (by the in game band w-3) is what has the weird time signatures. Its funny how normalized that song has become for me, his reaction to it was pretty similar to my first reaction but I've played so much Splatoon that it is just normal to me.
Normally I hate the 'it's off-putting on purpose' excuse, but the SR lobby song isn't like, low effort like most of the others, it clearly IS just meant to sound weird. In the context of the game it kinda works lol, I mean I never batted an eye. It sounds like i'm in a sketchy underground workplace alright.
@@uvuvwevwevweonyetenyevweug6314 and tbh some of the sr battle music actually make for good songs while STILL intentionally being weird. Mainly things like Fishing Frenzy, which is meant to play during the harder special rounds.
Yeah blue badger is not necessarily a bad song but when it's going while you're looking over that stupid video tape for the 30th time it makes you go INSANE! I ADORE rise from the ashes, easily my favourite of the cases I've played so far (stopped halfway through farewells but that one's shaping up to trump it), it is so good, it feels so different from the other cases, the writing is fantastic, even tho I got spoiled on the killer it still hooked me so hard, but that part was SO BAD!
@@saltkeeper44me and my friend were trapped on that vase for like a half hour LITERALLY doing the solution from the start, i genuinely thought i was in hell when i looked up a walkthrough and it was like picture perfect the same fucking way we had the vase arranged
The video evidence review part didn’t take me too long, but you’d better believe I had that damn Blue Badger song drilled into my head by the end of the game. RFtA is still a fun case in a great game (and a fantastic trilogy!)
I've played so much Splatoon that Happy Little Workers is completely normalized to me, even though Coney's reaction was pretty close to my first reaction to it. I do think Tentacular Circus would be a better submission, its not really a bad song (I don't think any Splatoon music is bad, besides the SSBU Now or Never remix that WAS in the bracket) but it is one of the funniest songs in any video game that isn't unintentionally funny. 4:05 Also can we talk about the lyric "Check it out, I'm in the house like carpet", it goes so hard, turtle
Man who put the spiderman 2 pizza theme in this bracket? Was that song too amazing for them to comprehend and they could only hear static or something?
@@LacsiraxAriscal I FUCKING KNEW IT WAS CIBO MATTO, I heard Spoon the other day and I could recognise the vocalist when I heard Birthday Cake, plus the lyrics are very fitting for them with their food theme.
And the singer is actually Noodle from Gorillaz (at least the singer who provided her voice in self titled) and absolutely sounds like it could have been some fuckass Gorillaz track that would have been made when Damon is cooked out of his fucking mind lmfao.
Yeah, why nobody submitted one song from the Yoshi series? Yoshi's Story, New Island and Crafted World were infamous for having some ear-grating, annoyingly bad songs
I can't tell how many times I've rewatched this video. Might be my favorite Coney video of all time. Even though I know what coming, the last few songs never fail to make me laugh.
5:40 sounds way too natural to be an impression of a Nick Jr. schedule bumper, he deadass transformed into Mr. Nicholas Junior himself by the power of that song
honestly I'm baffled that they picked that over Bear With Me and Belly Flop (although I do admit Belly Flop starts to kinda go hard after the 400th listen)
The Commander Keen song at 11:10 is not bad at all. It is infact pretty genious! It's intended to tell a story and the melody is in time with lyrics. "You've got to eat your vegetables". There's a video on RUclips where the composer explains the song. Well worth a watch!
You could put A Nopon’s Life in any other game and it would be remembered pretty fondly. It’s a good song that is associated with the most infamous Xenoblade cutscene in the franchise. Also I can’t get over “the house that John built on the hill.” What the hell were they thinking?
I can tell "...the house that John built on a hill" is supposed to be a reference to the nursery rhyme The House that Jack Built, but in that case... why John?! WHY WOULD YOU PURPOSEFULLY CHANGE THE NAME IF ITS SUPPOSED TO BE AN ALLUSION TO A PUBLIC DOMAIN SONG
The best part about the dubstep in 3 houses is that the map it plays in is only in 2 of the 4 you can play on, Silver Snow and Verdant Wind. Doesn’t help that both routes are essentially the same maps either besides endgame
@Hadaron I didn't know that. Probably because there's a similar song that's just the intro of shamballa on loop that plays in most conversations about them
@@kestrelynn Exactly. And you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s the calmer cutscene version, because why put the dubstep version in a 20 second cutscene?
Yeah, they're pretty awesome. Birthday Cake is awesome, but there's such a dichotomy between it and Moonchild. It doesn't even sound like it's from the same people
@@dangerousshoes yeah, that's part of what makes Cibo Matto so good though. There's like 8 different genres on Stereotype A alone, and yet every song is good.
16:48 this song was the first song with vocals in a video game. I think that’s what Sakurai said in the Terry Direct. Anyway, this song is a lot better in ultimate
Oh, the Shambhala theme doesn't appear completely out of nowhere, but the dubstep definitely does, you find an "incomplete" version of the song (a bit slower and without the more mechanicals sounds) appear several times in the game (this song is the theme of one of the antagonistic faction), it's wild hahahaa. Also before this song plays, you can already see that the kind of place where this song sounds is... unusual, very VERY unusual it could almost be otherwordly for the Three Houses' cast; it fits for the situation.
I didn't expect NLA Night to be in the bracket, not because it's a good song but because I thought not enough people knew Xenoblade Chronicle X enough to put the song in bracket. It's not a bad song, it grew on me and my friends who meme on it often. The OST has insane bangers. And I'm still hoping the game gets a sequel 🥲
GaMetal did a pretty great cover of the 1942 song as an April Fool's video a few years ago Also, I'm severely disappointed that the title theme to Tagin' Dragon wasn't on the bracket
never let the people that made this bracket cook again. Like the buzz bumble theme, Shambala, crazy chocobo DQ3 adventure, a song that's literally not even from a video game?
Shambala was exactly what Coney wanted, he said that in the stream despite it getting cut out. I think he made it clear it was one of if not his favourite submission He also allowed Trinity Soul even after being told it was anime. A lot more stuff gets cut out from the video which I think makes the viewing experience harder to follow
As someone who has never played three houses, "dubstep out of nowhere" sounds like EXCLUSIVELY a good thing. I LIVE for that shit. The moments when a game OST breaks all your preconceptions about what kinds of music you'd be hearing in a few notes? It's the BEST. The most common form of this is usually when lyrics start up during gameplay for the first time in a game, like in "Voided", "Under the Weight", or "From A Place of Love" But the dubstep? That had an entire franchise building up to it. That's a looooong buildup to that payoff. That sounds fucking fantastic.
The Evergrace soundtrack is actually phenomenal. It's just a bit hard to get used to initially, kind of a shame a lot of people disregard it so quickly.
the OST was composed (on very short notice) by Bumblefoot, one of the most technically skilled guitarists ever to live he has solo project stuff but notably played guitar in Guns n’ Roses after Buckethead left, and was in Sons of Apollo with Mike Portnoy among other people Bumblefoot/Ron Thal’s solo project stuff is pretty fun, I recommend it
Seeing Happy Little Workers from Splatoon 3 just felt kinda unfair. The game canonically has different bands that have different genres and the Salmonids notoriously has the strangest music, even relative to its world. The fact that it’s even in the list to begin with is disrespectful.
I think it's both very funny and very sad that Cibo Matto is actually a really good band with a unique sound for their time, yet their entire body of work is and always will be overshadowed by Birthday Cake. Seriously y'all go listen to Spoon or Sugar Water. They're so good.
Shambhala goes HARD tho because you’re basically in this underground futuristic area and it’s a BANGER. Three houses did phenomenal with almost all its music - Shambhala included
First video I've watched from you, and I had to subscribe. I absolutely love your energy, and I think those 'Worst VGM' playlists turning into a tournament of how bad they are just makes them all the more hilarious
I feel like 3:17 gets so much funnier when you imagine this poor poor game composer slumped over in their seat, staring at the ceiling while playing this shit with one hand
I'm genuinely surprised that Dungeon Man's Theme from Earthbound didn't make it in. When I played that game I literally muted the TV during the part where you're going through Dungeon Man because of how bad that song is to listen to for over a minute. I'm certain that if that track made it in it would've cleared.
@@Hotdoggos-xs3dq I wouldn't doubt that considering the rest of the soundtrack for Earthbound is amazing. If it were unintentionally bad I'd expect to see more bad tracks in the game.
In defence of Shambhala (FE3H spoilers too, so jump out): It's not just the soundtrack suddenly completely shifting. You also suddenly discover a whole-ass underground sci-fi civilization, so the shift in soundtrack fits in with the whole "huh, what the heck is going on here? vibe" I think it unironically fits really well.
Giant Breadbug and Happy Little Workers are both SO GOOD. They fit where they're played in game so well and really set the tone. Both for completely different reasons.
2:40 you need to play a tape of a crime to point out controdictions between the footage and the testimony. Not only is the thing that plays this song stuck in the center of the footage, but its theme song plays with no filter, feedback, pause, it doesnt even stop and rewind when you rewind the footage. Mind you you do this 2 to 3 times and will not stop hearing it until you find 3 tiny contradictions. Tachimi- Circus is still worse in my opinion.
To be fair, the Fire Emblem Engage and Three Houses songs both fit the situation perfectly. The Engage one is supposed to be a cheesy Sentai song, and the Three Houses one is meant to feel alien and out of sync with the rest of the world. Honestly, they’re both good songs too.
look I like FE Engage but that song is straight ass, just hearing the first line makes me involuntarily skip the intro every time. I guess it fits given how goofy Engage's story and characters are but "erm actually it's supposed to be bad" is never going to make me want to listen to that trash.

We seriously need more of these in the future. I've seen "putting the best video game songs in a bracket" videos using this site (or similar sites) but this has SO much more potential.
if he makes another one he should have the winning song in the bracket face the champion (aka Spider Man: The Animated Series (Genesis) - Fun House)
Hang on a second i just realised. I see you on project moon videos all the time
@@treedude4246 I get around.
It's interesting hear coney joke about how he can't "catch the beat" on the splatoon salmon run song, since the grizzco tracks were purposefully made with strange time signatures to make them offputting.
This one isn't, this is the lobby theme and is more meant to sound really sketchy (it just has a normal 4/4 time signature). While the music that actually plays during a salmon run (by the in game band w-3) is what has the weird time signatures.
Its funny how normalized that song has become for me, his reaction to it was pretty similar to my first reaction but I've played so much Splatoon that it is just normal to me.
Normally I hate the 'it's off-putting on purpose' excuse, but the SR lobby song isn't like, low effort like most of the others, it clearly IS just meant to sound weird. In the context of the game it kinda works lol, I mean I never batted an eye. It sounds like i'm in a sketchy underground workplace alright.
@@uvuvwevwevweonyetenyevweug6314 Lets be real here, Grizzco is definitely sketchy. I think even other characters comment on it some times.
@@uvuvwevwevweonyetenyevweug6314 and tbh some of the sr battle music actually make for good songs while STILL intentionally being weird. Mainly things like Fishing Frenzy, which is meant to play during the harder special rounds.
Yeah blue badger is not necessarily a bad song but when it's going while you're looking over that stupid video tape for the 30th time it makes you go INSANE! I ADORE rise from the ashes, easily my favourite of the cases I've played so far (stopped halfway through farewells but that one's shaping up to trump it), it is so good, it feels so different from the other cases, the writing is fantastic, even tho I got spoiled on the killer it still hooked me so hard, but that part was SO BAD!
Added on the fucking vase and oh my fucking god
AND THAT FUCKING VASE
@@saltkeeper44me and my friend were trapped on that vase for like a half hour LITERALLY doing the solution from the start, i genuinely thought i was in hell when i looked up a walkthrough and it was like picture perfect the same fucking way we had the vase arranged
The video evidence review part didn’t take me too long, but you’d better believe I had that damn Blue Badger song drilled into my head by the end of the game. RFtA is still a fun case in a great game (and a fantastic trilogy!)
Well, if the killer was spoiled for you, I guess it's like playing an episode of Columbo!

Every fire emblem player remembers how they felt when the Shambhala beat dropped. I was stuck on turn one for 10 minutes confused as hell.
I've played so much Splatoon that Happy Little Workers is completely normalized to me, even though Coney's reaction was pretty close to my first reaction to it. I do think Tentacular Circus would be a better submission, its not really a bad song (I don't think any Splatoon music is bad, besides the SSBU Now or Never remix that WAS in the bracket) but it is one of the funniest songs in any video game that isn't unintentionally funny.
4:05 Also can we talk about the lyric "Check it out, I'm in the house like carpet", it goes so hard, turtle
Ba de doo 📐📐🎵🎺🪕🪕
Man who put the spiderman 2 pizza theme in this bracket? Was that song too amazing for them to comprehend and they could only hear static or something?
Birthday Cake is a banger, legit thought it was a bad song playing the game as a kid but like a tapeworm it found its way into my heart
I mean it’s by a genuine, critically beloved band, Cibo Matto
Song came out in 1996, I didn't even know it was in a video game.
@@LacsiraxAriscal I FUCKING KNEW IT WAS CIBO MATTO, I heard Spoon the other day and I could recognise the vocalist when I heard Birthday Cake, plus the lyrics are very fitting for them with their food theme.
The person playing the bass is Sean Lenon.
And the singer is actually Noodle from Gorillaz (at least the singer who provided her voice in self titled) and absolutely sounds like it could have been some fuckass Gorillaz track that would have been made when Damon is cooked out of his fucking mind lmfao.
How did the OST Yoshi's NEW Island escape any nominations????
Where’s the Yoshi Clan song
I kept waiting for it to appear
Honestly I was expecting mega man 2 for the gameboy to show up.
Yeah, why nobody submitted one song from the Yoshi series? Yoshi's Story, New Island and Crafted World were infamous for having some ear-grating, annoyingly bad songs
Honestly it's not that bad it's just mid
4:05 what MF DOOM sounds to non DOOM listeners
I can't tell how many times I've rewatched this video. Might be my favorite Coney video of all time. Even though I know what coming, the last few songs never fail to make me laugh.
5:40 sounds way too natural to be an impression of a Nick Jr. schedule bumper, he deadass transformed into Mr. Nicholas Junior himself by the power of that song
A comment from the spider man song 'yall would love this if it was in earthbound"
Honestly, Happy Little Workers is now so ingrained into me that I don’t even think of it as weird anymore. That’s just what it sounds like.
honestly I'm baffled that they picked that over Bear With Me and Belly Flop (although I do admit Belly Flop starts to kinda go hard after the 400th listen)
That Wild Woody song sounds like it was made specifically to be eventually put over that scene in IT Chapter 1 of Pennywise dancing
The Commander Keen song at 11:10 is not bad at all. It is infact pretty genious! It's intended to tell a story and the melody is in time with lyrics. "You've got to eat your vegetables". There's a video on RUclips where the composer explains the song. Well worth a watch!
17:23 Coney: “Who invited the harp player?”
Link: “I’m still getting used to this thing, give me a break!”
I played skyward sword on a plane with no audio, so I had no clue it sounded that bad until now
He's scared from the Harp mini game. If ykyk...
As a YTP creator I was 100% conditioned to read that in CDi Link's voice on-command
A Nopon's Life either is perfectly absurd to compliment the accompanying scene, or it's horrifying, like Poppi's introduction
Unironically love it so much every time
Top 3 best moments of torna was hearing it play in a scene with jin of all people
Nopon's life gets so good towards the end.
But yes, the context can be wildly different.
I FORGOT THIS PLAYED THERE TOO, THAT CUTSCENE IS SO CRINGE
Early-game Xenoblade 2 is painful, thank goodness late game makes up for it
You could put A Nopon’s Life in any other game and it would be remembered pretty fondly. It’s a good song that is associated with the most infamous Xenoblade cutscene in the franchise.
Also I can’t get over “the house that John built on the hill.” What the hell were they thinking?
I can tell "...the house that John built on a hill" is supposed to be a reference to the nursery rhyme The House that Jack Built, but in that case... why John?! WHY WOULD YOU PURPOSEFULLY CHANGE THE NAME IF ITS SUPPOSED TO BE AN ALLUSION TO A PUBLIC DOMAIN SONG
The best part about the dubstep in 3 houses is that the map it plays in is only in 2 of the 4 you can play on, Silver Snow and Verdant Wind. Doesn’t help that both routes are essentially the same maps either besides endgame
Also plays in Azure Moon… in like a 20 second cutscene where you’ll miss the drop if you converse through it normally
@Hadaron I didn't know that. Probably because there's a similar song that's just the intro of shamballa on loop that plays in most conversations about them
@@kestrelynn
Exactly. And you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s the calmer cutscene version, because why put the dubstep version in a 20 second cutscene?
I was listening to all these songs and I was like "damn I'm actually feeling it", but brithday cake legitimately good.
Listen to Cibbo Matto. That song is from their first album Viva La Woman. Personally, I like their second album best, but all 3 are good.
@@JustinBA007I discovered that album because of Birthday Cake, I should listen to their other stuff
Yeah, they're pretty awesome. Birthday Cake is awesome, but there's such a dichotomy between it and Moonchild. It doesn't even sound like it's from the same people
@@dangerousshoes yeah, that's part of what makes Cibo Matto so good though. There's like 8 different genres on Stereotype A alone, and yet every song is good.
It's such a good album. Stereotype A was constantly on repeat for me in middle school.
17:29 the fact that my phone buzzed twice right at the empty silence made this 10 times funnier
16:48 this song was the first song with vocals in a video game. I think that’s what Sakurai said in the Terry Direct. Anyway, this song is a lot better in ultimate
17:07,
Coney hitting the somewhat high note was weirdly pleasant sounding. Like an 80s soft rock singer
Oh, the Shambhala theme doesn't appear completely out of nowhere, but the dubstep definitely does, you find an "incomplete" version of the song (a bit slower and without the more mechanicals sounds) appear several times in the game (this song is the theme of one of the antagonistic faction), it's wild hahahaa.
Also before this song plays, you can already see that the kind of place where this song sounds is... unusual, very VERY unusual it could almost be otherwordly for the Three Houses' cast; it fits for the situation.
I didn't expect NLA Night to be in the bracket, not because it's a good song but because I thought not enough people knew Xenoblade Chronicle X enough to put the song in bracket.
It's not a bad song, it grew on me and my friends who meme on it often. The OST has insane bangers. And I'm still hoping the game gets a sequel 🥲
Ost is awesome and sawano is a God but NLA Night is wack lmao
NLA is heat and you all are just afraid to admit it
Both NLA themes go hard on mute
if any X song was getting in, i was sure it was gonna be the Rexoskell theme
@@mercury_t-elos1004 it probably wouldve gotten far just because of the name alone
GaMetal did a pretty great cover of the 1942 song as an April Fool's video a few years ago
Also, I'm severely disappointed that the title theme to Tagin' Dragon wasn't on the bracket

never let the people that made this bracket cook again. Like the buzz bumble theme, Shambala, crazy chocobo DQ3 adventure, a song that's literally not even from a video game?
Shambala was exactly what Coney wanted, he said that in the stream despite it getting cut out. I think he made it clear it was one of if not his favourite submission
He also allowed Trinity Soul even after being told it was anime. A lot more stuff gets cut out from the video which I think makes the viewing experience harder to follow
A couple days after this stream, I thought of the Giggler's theme again and almost threw up laughing.
As someone who has never played three houses, "dubstep out of nowhere" sounds like EXCLUSIVELY a good thing. I LIVE for that shit. The moments when a game OST breaks all your preconceptions about what kinds of music you'd be hearing in a few notes? It's the BEST. The most common form of this is usually when lyrics start up during gameplay for the first time in a game, like in "Voided", "Under the Weight", or "From A Place of Love"
But the dubstep? That had an entire franchise building up to it. That's a looooong buildup to that payoff. That sounds fucking fantastic.
I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time

Nah no one should be submitted to the torture that is Ed Sheeran's Pokémon Song
As a fan of prog rock, after a few listens, the Wild Woody OST has started to grow on me.
My exact thought hearing it for the first time was that it sounded like someone trying to make prog rock for the first time
Just sounds like Cardiacs, it’s wicked
This song is as if someone is trying to do prog but only knows how to make the song super repetitive LOL
It reminds me of Mother Man by Atheist
the OST was composed (on very short notice) by Bumblefoot, one of the most technically skilled guitarists ever to live
he has solo project stuff but notably played guitar in Guns n’ Roses after Buckethead left, and was in Sons of Apollo with Mike Portnoy among other people
Bumblefoot/Ron Thal’s solo project stuff is pretty fun, I recommend it
Whoever put Buck Bumble in this deserves life in prison. No mercy.
RIGHT ABOUT NOW IT'S TIME TO ROCK WITH THE BIGGITY BUCK BUMBLE
16:13 oh god, there's a clip of Coney making that noise.
There were points where I forgot if Coney was choosing the worst or best song
Hearing Crazy Chocobo just made my day. It should be losing any worst song tournament in round 1.

14:40 Square Enix is already funny. I mean, they released Balan Wonderworld. That’s pretty funny
8:49 sounds like a song Gene would make on Bob’s Burgers
LMAO
Ain’t no way Shambala got on this list, let alone top 8 😭
Seeing Happy Little Workers from Splatoon 3 just felt kinda unfair. The game canonically has different bands that have different genres and the Salmonids notoriously has the strangest music, even relative to its world. The fact that it’s even in the list to begin with is disrespectful.
Shocked the Yoshi Clan theme from
Yoshi's New Island wasn’t in this. That song is genuinely awful
I hope whoever submitted buck bumble recieved a temporary time out for their shenanigans
14:48 the RE basement theme is played on the wrong instrument, so if you find what its supposed to sound like its actually pretty good
*l o b o t o m y*
Genuinely fucking hilarious. Please do this again in the future
I would watch so many episodes of this, absolute gold
13:07 I'm addicted to this song now. It's good now for some reason after watching this episode so many times.
I think it's both very funny and very sad that Cibo Matto is actually a really good band with a unique sound for their time, yet their entire body of work is and always will be overshadowed by Birthday Cake. Seriously y'all go listen to Spoon or Sugar Water. They're so good.
I love their second album so much. I ran into their keyboardist once and she signed my copy of that album. That was so awesome.

Is the Buck Bumble theme actually considered bad?? It’s absolute heat in my books.

I'm genuinely surprised that Dungeon Man's Theme from Earthbound didn't make it in. When I played that game I literally muted the TV during the part where you're going through Dungeon Man because of how bad that song is to listen to for over a minute. I'm certain that if that track made it in it would've cleared.
Just listened to it, it absolutely would have won oh my goodness.
Probably everyone in the chat that has heard it had it blocked from their memory
Pretty sure that song was literally made with the intent to be annoying, so your comment proves it did that well.
@@Hotdoggos-xs3dq I wouldn't doubt that considering the rest of the soundtrack for Earthbound is amazing. If it were unintentionally bad I'd expect to see more bad tracks in the game.
I’m equally surprised that Hong Kong 97 didn’t make it in
In defence of Shambhala (FE3H spoilers too, so jump out): It's not just the soundtrack suddenly completely shifting. You also suddenly discover a whole-ass underground sci-fi civilization, so the shift in soundtrack fits in with the whole "huh, what the heck is going on here? vibe" I think it unironically fits really well.
12:35 Who tf decided to make song out of the "low hp" sfx from Zelda I, and why ? ? ?
Some of these submissions are like not bad at all. Coneys audience stay misunderstanding the prompt yet again

Giant Breadbug and Happy Little Workers are both SO GOOD. They fit where they're played in game so well and really set the tone. Both for completely different reasons.
This is so much funnier than I thought it would be
2:40 you need to play a tape of a crime to point out controdictions between the footage and the testimony. Not only is the thing that plays this song stuck in the center of the footage, but its theme song plays with no filter, feedback, pause, it doesnt even stop and rewind when you rewind the footage. Mind you you do this 2 to 3 times and will not stop hearing it until you find 3 tiny contradictions. Tachimi- Circus is still worse in my opinion.
after he says the "discord kitten" thing, right after 17:05 , someone in his chat simply wrote "fuck you man" 😆

I would only exhale some air from my nose in response to most of these but that splatoon track at 12:19 made me burst out laughing
To be fair, the Fire Emblem Engage and Three Houses songs both fit the situation perfectly. The Engage one is supposed to be a cheesy Sentai song, and the Three Houses one is meant to feel alien and out of sync with the rest of the world. Honestly, they’re both good songs too.
Ok big guy
its not even good dubsteb
look I like FE Engage but that song is straight ass, just hearing the first line makes me involuntarily skip the intro every time. I guess it fits given how goofy Engage's story and characters are but "erm actually it's supposed to be bad" is never going to make me want to listen to that trash.
