So let's think about this one. I will try to keep my write-up as
succinct as this ditty little melody is.
If you read the worlds best
internets comic then you'd already know about this song, Victory
Festival, and the cute little vibe it inspires. But I didn't
think it was very fair to shove the song off to the side of a newpost
while I spoiled the laughably bad Crash for the entire internet
audience (which would be true if I didn't see the movie like nine
months after it was in theaters).
Victory Festival is a funky little ditty while a whole lot
of heart to it. It's not usually my style to like anything derived
from the videogame remix community that doesn't involve a) rockin'
beats b) synthesized record scratching or c) a combination of the
two, so I imagine that this should be the ultimate compliment. It's
like if I were to tell you that Panties!! Panties!! PANTIES!!!
Goku-gaiden-don was the best TV I've ever seen in my entire
life. During the short 2'20 that this song occupies I have a hard
time believe you'll be doing anything but tapping your feet. Sometimes
when I'm walking around at work listening to this song I have to
sit myself down and take a deep breath so I don't get all giddy,
lest I zip around like a schoolgirl and subsequently introduce my
face to the fist of a very large man who isn't experiencing the
saccharine-esque pleasure that I am.
It's not his fault!! He just can't hear the music!
As a short song, I don't know how much there is to talk about.
Kinky whistles and strummy guitars lull you through the first half
of the song, and the little interlude with the bagpipes at 0'37
is merely prelude to the awesomeness that will follow. Where the
song really explodes is at 1'21. Listen to that fiddle and tell
me you've ever heard anything better in your life. I'm hesitant
to believe that you have, and I think I'm the type of guy that would
know that sort of thing.
But Could I Drive To This?:
When this song was made cars didn't exist. I guess you could listen
to it on your horse and buggy, but then you wouldn't have an mp3
player to listen to it on. Time paradoxes are a very difficult thing
to reconcile!!
