Cardboard Box Wipe Out: Return to the Forbidden Planet Tribute

[@maxout47]

after 7 years still a banger!

[@CreepsMcPasta]

I'm not versed in what Return to the Forbidden Planet is, but this little tune is endearing. I'll have to check it out!

[@MultiHello97]

CreepsMcPasta Dude, DemonTomatoDave just mentioned your comment in his newest video, btw, I love your videos

[@HugoJunstrand]

+Toxodentrail With to much free time.

[@Sirick]

Hey Dave! Richard here, a sincere pleasure to have met you! a fantastic show, thank you so much for the recommendation. Very tempted to see it again now...

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Sirick Hello! I've done a DM at you! You'll have to hurry if you want to see it again, there are TWO DAYS LEFT and then it STOPS oh GOD it's happening again

[@RunningWithScissors19]

Am I the only one who’s genuinely, whole heartedly, really impressed by 1:51? Great job by the way Dave!

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Well, if you or anyone you know is anywhere south of England this week, there's a few days left of the real show in Eastbourne. It's running until Saturday I think

[@RunningWithScissors19]

DemonTomatoDave oh really? I might have to look into it, this song was really ace! I was just going back through your song playlist for the 100th time and completely forgot about this little gem, haha.

[@RunningWithScissors19]

Actually I just realised I’m not south of England, England and Wales are two very separate places, and driving is effort and a thing I cannot yet do. Shame, oh well I’ll keep my eye out to see if this show comes anywhere near where I live. Thanks for replying by the way, I’m a big fan!

[@EloiseSamuels]

Oh gosh, I wish I had seen this tribute sooner! I saw this show for the first time in Brighton on the 24th January 2015, the day before my 21st birthday. I've been to many different plays and musicals, both in the UK and some in the US, but I still think of that day as my greatest theatre experience, with both friendly theatre staff and an amazing performance from a most talented group. A great tribute to a great show!

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Cheesington I've heard from a few people now who saw it in Brighton, the place must've been packed! Yes, weren't they just great? Glad you liked the video!

[@dianacroft1993]

Ok, so I finally get around to watching your cardboard box wipe out and it's AMAZING!!! I love it...that is all 😃

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Diana Croft Haha! Thanks Diana :) I hope it's good, because it's the video the whole Planet audience were subjected to after the show on Saturday :D

[@viccie211]

That face when he pulls out the toy keyboard. Magnificent!!!

[@OhNoTheFace]

So solemn D:

[@Crabmaster]

I swear April 1st is the best day of the year for so many reasons.

[@ThePonko92]

I play this to entertain my niece and nephew, they love it as much as I do :) great stuff as always Dave

[@Smatt-]

Dave you beautiful human xD This is brilliant!

[@stevenbelmont3605]

This needs way more views. Lets get this video to the stars by rocketing it to a million.

[@coen4695]

At the moment I'm watching this (again xD) the video has EXACTLY 10.000 views and 350 likes. Good job Dave!

[@LDKRyden]

Your hands must've felt super tingly right after doing this.

[@TheAppletrainkingdom]

This video makes me so happy :D

[@williambrown873]

This was an absolute joy to watch :)

[@michelthrun3514]

I have heard this but back when I was younger

[@SpoilThatGame]

1:50 That's from Telstar by The Tornadoes :P Great video as usual. Definitely going to have a look into this show

[@allystarla]

This is always stuck in my head and I love it!

[@YarnLalms711]

This is awesome.

[@PointyStarYGO]

Beautiful

[@forgottenprince]

Duh.

[@paddy1225]

WOW VERY IMPRESSIVE!!

[@austynrushton9360]

intensely inspiring

[@bigbrainbrad]

Very cool. Keep up the great work, man ;)

[@thefriendlyneighborhoodspi3748]

Pls make more it Sounds Great :)

[@tylerrouch5763]

This deserves more views, and I'm not even quite sure what this from.

[@DemonTomatoDave]

JohnLeno47 It's from this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5bKl2VumsZja5Y And this is what happened because of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWS3f6msqM6nh5o

[@tylerrouch5763]

Yeah, I watched both of them a while back, and I have to say you replicated this song extremely well.

[@tylerrouch5763]

Love the Telstar reference.

[@FINALSTANDFOLEYOFFICIAL]

Well that was awesome :))

[@stuartnurse]

Dave. You are clearly potty and have far too much time on your hands, but what a lovely walk down memory lane. And I never could play wipe out on the kit! Stuart Nurse. X

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Stuart NUrse Whoa! Stuart! You were my first captain! :D Thanks for stopping by, lovely to hear from you.

[@beastmonsterthing3]

i have literally no idea what this is but i enjoy it

[@SnowDemonAkuma]

Hold on. "Iambics functioning. Pentameters locked in." A sequel to a movie based on Shakespear's 'The Tempest'. Oh God I need to see this musical now.

[@DemonTomatoDave]

SnowDemonAkuma More adaptation/mashup than sequel, and yes you do. If you live in the UK right now, it's touring right now. If not... well, I'll tell you if I hear anything.

[@OhNoTheFace]

Well that was fun

[@RossOriginals]

Space wipe out? These April First videos are getting more and more surreal...

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Oh, mate, this isn't even slightly an April Fool, I've been wanting to do this for years. I wish you could all go and see this thing. Anyone reading this who's in the UK, book tickets right now, time's running out!

[@RossOriginals]

[@Beatlezrock]

That piano part was great I mean he wasn't even looking at it.

[@ffionjames9963]

Wipeout!!!! We're doing return to the forbidden planet now !!!!!!!! I'm ariel ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@DemonTomatoDave]

YESS I'm very jealous. Congratulations :D

[@Wagoo]

Deffo my fave track from the PS1 game!!

[@breadcrumbmovies]

Amazing tribute! i like the Doctor who reference ;)

[@gamern69]

Where is the LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS button?

[@gamern69]

huge fan of RTFP went to the original show so many times and brought my kid to last year's tour as many times as I coulc

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Yesss! How did they react to it? I mean, it's a bit loud!

[@DanteDeshar]

Very nice, I was wondering for a second if you did the drum beat twice or edited in the previous recordings second part after the change but I noticed the hand gesture was slightly different at 1:24. I'm now noticing several differences with the way you're sitting, the box angle and how much the box moves. So I guess my question is, for each of the 8 screens where you stand there an do the overlying theme, are they all separate recordings or are any of them doubled up for effect?

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Oh don't worry, those are absolutely two separate recordings of me bashing that box. I wouldn't betray the moment when the second drumkit "engine" kicked-in when I first saw this show! I did cheat for one tiny bit though, after a bit of footage went missing. You'll spot it if you look carefully. But yeah, there's a lot of separate recordings running at once here. And by the way, it takes a lot out of my video editing software, I basically can't see what I'm doing at all until I render it. Goodness knows how Smooth manages.

[@SnowDemonAkuma]

DemonTomatoDave Starting at around 1:30, the top far-right and bottom middle-right seem to be the same recording. Is that where you cheated?

[@DanteDeshar]

SnowDemonAkuma It's definitely not the drums, I watched the top left hand corner of his chair (my left not his) the whole time and the two videos have a different distance to the edge of the door frame, That difference never changes.

[@DemonTomatoDave]

SnowDemonAkuma Well spotted! Yeah, I lost a take somehow and had to double-up. (Most probable way I lost it is that I just miscounted and never recorded it in the first place.) But the rest are all separate recordings.

[@DanteDeshar]

Oh wow I misread the comment. xD

[@KayVox]

I know you use some editing to hit those high and low notes, but I'm curious to know what your natural range is. Also, how *do* you edit/hit those high notes?

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Theatrefreak Hmm. Good question. Don't know. How do you measure what your range is anyway? I'd say compare the bits towards the end of this kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3Oqap2vi7GGr5I#t=6m and my lines in this kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIOqqZWHmNqhpLc

[@drwhoelliott5091]

I love forbidden planet

[@Nodigity98]

I like how one of your faces is brighter then the other, although it's a minor error it shows how much time and effort was put into it. if you can please do make a remake of this in the near future.

[@DemonTomatoDave]

+Nodigity98 Haha, but I only just made it! What do you want updating? I haven't even moved any books around on the shelves, it'd be exactly the same :D

[@Nodigity98]

+DemonTomatoDave okay that was a douche thing to say. all I was trying to say is that it would be great if you did this again and add more to it, like adding an actual piano and drums into it.

[@DemonTomatoDave]

+Nodigity98 Oh that'd be a lot of fun, but acapella's my thing. For this but with real drums & instruments, you'll have to wait for the show to come back I'm afraid

[@Nodigity98]

+DemonTomatoDave well that's a shame, I don't live in the UK. so will you do more of this in the future because u do have a Talent for this.

[@Sauraen]

Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like a boogie woogie version of Molgera Battle (Wind Waker)? In any case (or box), great video!

[@JWD105]

This song is the new "Cups" someone start a craze on instagram about this

[@Ash-vv6io]

So, I watched UR wedding video first, then the Fordidden Planet explanation, now this video. IM A REBEL YO! Also I comment on UR videos way to much but I don care

[@watfordbroadcasting]

When r u doing another attic video?

[@leadrevolver]

The Ventures- Wipe Out

[@martinbulmer1868]

that bit after the clicky bit when you do the syncopation thing. Patent it.

[@matthewthewthew]

Argh, the Telstar bit is so majestic.

[@Tanooki_Billy]

I've tried many a time trying to replicate the tune when I drum on tables etc, but I just can't do it.

[@Ruffy112]

I just came from your recent video to this here. And I gotta say, that I actually know the tune. I wouldn`t have been able to name it though. I guess I heard it many years ago as a kid and just forgot. Shame on me...

[@IsaacVianaTapias]

For me, is the Cool Spot main theme. :P

[@Abunai_Gaming]

A question from one with no idea of this show prior to this amazing cover, I hear this song all the time here in Hawaii, and I know it's connotation with the surfer scene. But is this song originally from RTFP, or did they cover/parody it for their show?

[@DemonTomatoDave]

No, this is the original version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmKWqo13n82IZq8 Part of the joke (if that's the right word) with Planet was that it looked like a classic old sci-fi film, with hairdryer ray guns etc, and its soundtrack was made up of the music from that time. But they would play it sincerely and make it sound great, the actual music wasn't "silly". I mean, except when it was. Um. Anyway, it's diluted a bit now that jukebox musicals make up the majority of what you'll see touring and they're often put together with a bit less care and a bit less tongue in cheek, but it still works!

[@Abunai_Gaming]

Oh wow, REALLY fast response, thanks Dave! Great cover by the way, I can't stop listening to it, favorite part is around 1:51, got chills first time I heard it :3 And while it was a long time ago, congrats on the surreal experience on the wedding night :D

[@Tibazz]

Fucking awesome !!!

[@chatdos9]

I tried percussions like you on my legs, but it doesn"t sound like your work XD. I really like your tribute. Had you follow music courses or things like that ?

[@DemonTomatoDave]

chatdos9 Your legs probably aren't hollow enough.No, not really, I did piano lessons for a while when I was 10, but they didn't really work. Can't read music or play piano.

[@ohheyitsloaf1663]

dont know the song but this is sick

[@n0dltr0n]

Those box drummin skills tho. Out of curiosity... Did you try reversing that highly sophisticated science percussion device's polarity?

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Hmm. Hold up, I'll try now.

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Ok, it wasn't all that bad in the end kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqrZioOYlLdgb6M

[@DemonTomatoDave]

To anyone who wants to know where should this music be (and what I'm at all on about), I made a video explaining everything: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5bKl2VumsZja5Y

[@cuong_vu]

DemonTomatoDave Is this really where this tune comes from? I feel like I've heard it before but I didn't know this was where it came from.

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Cuong Vu No, it doesn't *come from* this show, it's a classic 60s surf-rock tune. Return to the Forbidden Planet is a mashup musical of sorts, I explain it all in the linked video up there.

[@cuong_vu]

DemonTomatoDave Ohhhhh, Alright.

[@codyhopson97526]

DemonTomatoDave Great song to pick from the show. You make banging on the box and keeping that beat look easy lol. Oh yeah and pure brilliance on the Zoo song as well.

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Strange Tamer Thanks! :D It genuinely is quite easy for me, but only because I spent my formative years in the mid-90s hammering this out along to the Forbidden Planet CD on various tables (and the front of an Amiga which, at last check, miraculously still worked)

[@joenichols1958]

Hehe...iambic pantameter, clever!

[@JWD105]

To be honest not the weirdest thing Dave's done. And probably wont be the last

[@annabellecox7133]

I'm doing this at school

[@DemonTomatoDave]

+Annabelle Cox Oh, fantastic, I bet it's a lot of fun!

[@johnnykpl7921]

One question: why?

[@DemonTomatoDave]

JhonnyKPL One entire video: this is why. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5bKl2VumsZja5Y

[@bandicore1160]

+JohnnyKPL One question: why are you so... cynic? This video is great, I think!

[@johnnykpl7921]

Yes... It's great, yeeeees....

[@voxlvalyx]

Maybe it's the hair or the shirt or the... glasses? but you look *very* different in this video.

[@DemonTomatoDave]

***** It's that I've got ten heads. I was wondering if anyone would notice

[@Shinx7009]

DemonTomatoDave Really are you joking i saw you on the steet once and i was like that is a lot of heads Dave.

[@SnowDemonAkuma]

I feel somehow cheated that you used a keyboard for a bit. I'm not sure why.

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Haha, sorry! I had to though, it's a reference to the show - last time they toured, one of the crew busted out a Stylophone at that point, and that's the closest I had. This might cheer you up: can you see there's something written in white on two of the keys? Can you see what they say?

[@SnowDemonAkuma]

DemonTomatoDave I can see that there's something written there, but even at the highest resolution I can't make it out! :(

[@DemonTomatoDave]

SnowDemonAkuma kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2bFiXmqpNVrpKs It's what I used as a tuning thingy to make sure I stayed singing in key :D

[@martinbulmer1868]

DemonTomatoDave Aww, if you'd asked nicely, you could have borrowed my stylophone.

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Martin Bulmer I know! I was just saying to someone yesterday I should've asked you to bring it up last time you were here. Didn't think of it!

[@itagamineko]

WTF ??? It sounds good but...WTF???

[@DemonTomatoDave]

Haha, I'll be explaining this soon, don't worry. In the meantime, have a look at the "Here is my previous attempt" link in the description.

[@OhNoTheFace]

See description

[@PDIcomics]

DAVE I KNOW THERE ARE ATHEISTS IN THE UK BUT PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARENT ONE! TELL ME YOU BELIEVE IN GOD LIKE I DO!!!!!!!!!

[@Wagoo]

PDIcomics you are Bibble and I claim my £5

[@noahfrench7412]

PDIcomics There are *a lot* of atheists, but a good number of them are alright. Just because someone believes something different to you it doesn't mean you should worry ;)

[@fatfartish1]

Noah French Pretty much most of the athiests in America are assholes.

[@noahfrench7412]

Commentator Chris I would not hesitate to say that there are just as many asshole religious people ;)

[@fatfartish1]

Noah French I was going to say that too. But I guess I just said that because some crazy guy in my city recently decided to storm into a church JUST to verbally assault everyone.
