Adventure Time Demo "Best Friends in the World"

In the episode "What Was Missing" two songs are important plot points. This is the second one. Finn figures out "what was missing" and uses his honest feelings to open the door.
The secret to opening the door is in the inscription around the door. Any resemblance to opening the doors of Moria in Lord of the Rings is purely nonaccidental.
Rebecca says, "It might seem like this episode is about friendship, but I wanted it to be about honesty! Bob Fosse said "the time to sing is when your emotional level is too high to just speak anymore," I really wanted to try for that feeling."
Sorry it took so long to make this one.

Looking back before I even knew SU existed, it turns out all my favourite songs from Adventure Time were all made by Rebecca Sugar... Why am I not surprised?

[@shiroiku9314]

Same

[@dandroiddoes3531]

This song is one of the ones that hits different. It’s up there with I remember you, everything stays, and the extended version of come along with me in my opinion.

[@nicolaridolfi6510]

[@hazeyretro]

Who made ur pfp it go hard

[@Schwarzorn]

The way she sings _"And you, Jake"_ melts my heart every time. No cover or even the final version sung by Finn comes anywhere close to the emotion that Rebecca puts into it.

[@jfdjutjruvb]

WAIT. PB AND MARCY WERE HOLDING HANDS. OMG YES.

+Line Poulsen Olivia Olson took the things she said later back on twitter. She said something like "you guys need to chill I sometimes make things up at panels" huge disappointment. Tbh I don't believe we're ever gonna find out whats happened/happening between these two anymore

[@1dbad]

They wouldn't lose Adventure Time airing in certain countries over that. They would just have to censor it out like they do with Steven Universe. But, I do think the backlash of that one video that talked about the possibility of Bubbline scared them off.

[@billlupin8345]

It's pretty much confirmed in canon anyway. PBubs has Marcy's shirt. Has nobody here been in a relationship before? There's only one way a lady friend gets your shirt. (It's by getting it off you.)

[@raeryuko]

@@tipsy634 that part still messes me up What was that????

[@tipsy634]

@@raeryuko in the episode, jake was in love with his elbow and really sad when it was erased, while pb made out with her hand like it was a person. The writers thought it would be really funny if Jake's elbow and PB's hand flirted with each other, but actually it's just Jake and PB goofing off. They're just having fun. PB's hand as a puppet was referenced again much later in the episode "Three Buckets". It's unknown if this is a direct callback to A Glitch is a Glitch, or just a coincidence. However, something from Glitch became canon - Mr Cupcake was mistakenly called "Todd" in this ep, but that became his canon name in season 8.

Amazing! We all miss you on Adventure Time, but you're doing a wonderful job on Steven Universe! Favorite cartoon, by far.

I can't imagine how hard it must be to put this level of earnestness into something that will be touched by so many people and given a lighthearted tone. Not to be presumptuous about Rebecca's personal life, but for me personally, writing any one of these lines would be an incredibly raw confession even in a fictional context. The sincerity of their art inspires me so, so much.

You like this... This is what was missing... the truth! What am I to you? Am I a joke, your knight, or your brother? What am I to you? Do you look down on me 'cause I'm younger? Do you think that I don't understand? I just wanted us together and to play as a band, Last night was the most fun I've ever had, Even liked it when the two of you would get mad... At each other. Oh, you a-a-a-a-are my best friends in the world. You a-a-a-a-are my best friends in the world. That's ri-i-i-i-ight, I'm talking about the two of you girls, And you, Jake. I wanna sing a song to you and I refuse to make it fake. What am I to you? Am I a joke, your knight, or your brother? What am I to you? Do you look down on me 'cause I'm younger? Do you think that I don't understand? I just wanted us together and to play as a band I'll forget that I lost a piece of your hair, I'll remember the pasta that we shared... Over there. Ah ah, you a-a-a-a-are my best friends in the world. You a-a-a-a-are my best friends in the world. That's ri-i-i-i-ight, I'm talking about the two of you girls And you, Jake.

[@billlupin8345]

Couldn't say. Her voice sounds shy, though. She doesn't really put a whole lot of umph into it. Rebbecca's really not a singer so much. More of a composer. She's great at making songs for other people's voices.
