Grant kirkhope made my childhood pretty awesome

[@davidjrvs123]

Nintendo *64* likes!

[@zetta1234]

Dave Jarvis I wish I could’ve seen it :/

[@DirtyJohnny]

His music made those games

[@tenenbaummark]

David Wise and Koji Kondo as well

[@mattdrummond3552]

I love Rare and Grant Kirkhope

[@Fuzunga]

Is there any instrument you don't own?

[@isidoreaerys8745]

A French horn apparently

[@PoopPoopFart]

Ugh, this new comment system is so stupid.

[@slamdunkgator915]

I don't blame you for saying that. Also, I really love these covers. They're high quality and made well. By the way, how many instruments do you know how to play?

[@rushnerd]

You're always the voice of reason. You are tearing me apart, youtube.

[@Mastaevan123]

PoopPoopFart Do you have any melodicas you wouldn't mind selling?

[@PoopPoopFart]

Mastaevan123 Hey! I tried to respond to your earlier post, but according to Google, I'm not allowed to talk to you. So here's to hoping that this response goes through. I actually only have three melodicas (one cheap one that I use to practice on, one high end one for performing, and one bass melodica), and I use all of them on a fairly regular basis, so I probably won't be selling any of them any time soon!

[@PoopPoopFart]

Eric C. Thanks! Not sure, but I just did a quick count, and it seems that I own about 25 different instruments, although I think a lot of them are miscellaneous percussion instruments, which don't require a terribly large amount of skill to play.

[@JosiahEverhart]

Man, I can't believe how rich your recordings sound. Like, instrumental prowess aside, the recording quality itself is incredible. How do you do it? Is it because you're using such a high end mic or are you just brilliant at mastering/EQing/mixing/all-that-bullshit-I-don't-know-how-to-do? Both? I'm really curious 'cause my videos sound like shit... Awesome video as always.

[@PoopPoopFart]

Thanks, I'm glad you like the way it sounds! For me, I feel like my recordings really start to come alive during the mixing process, although ideally mic choice, mic position, and instrument choice should play a big role in determining the overall sound as well. I had actually never paid much attention to the mixing process until earlier this year, when I realized that my projects could be sounding so much better if I just took some time to learn how to mix. I have since read a few books on the subject, but I'm still relatively new to the whole mixing thing, so I'm still learning a lot with each project I work on. But if you're interested in improving your mixing skills, you should definitely check out a book called Mixing Secrets for the Small Studio by Mike Senior, as it is one of the best books on the subject that I've read, and I feel like it's helped me a whole lot. Seriously, I can't recommend that book enough.

[@JosiahEverhart]

PoopPoopFart Thanks for your insight! I'm in the same boat now, that you *were* in. I've never really cared much for mixing, but I'm starting to realize just how important it is. I'll check that book out!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Awesome job! Loving the instrumental variation :D

[@StaphyJr]

This was the shot of dopamine I didn't know I needed

[@zetta1234]

Oddly scientific...

[@StacheBros]

Why am I only now discovering that these covers exist? This is amazing.

[@gamechops]

We love you PoopPoopFart!

[@MazeBeans]

Hey stay off my bby he's mine 😡😡😡😍😍😍 (Obvious joke)

[@ChaoThing]

Been listening to PPF's covers of everything for the last several days on loop in a massive playlist, and I don't really need to stop any time soon.

[@namr3h]

This guy deserves so many more views for his music.

[@CaboosesApprentice]

Wonderful rendition of Freezeezy Peak. I bet this was a lot of fun to play and make. 10/10.

[@LuckFx]

You just got retweeted by good ol' Grant himself, props!!

[@BEEFlNbandit]

The king of Banjo covers :D

[@banjoboi3017]

This is GOOD! Merry Christmas Everybody.

[@BeardedBetts]

I can still hear that *arr-arr-arr* as a I chase that walrus's ass around.

[@CodrilePin]

¡Me encanta! Tienes mucho talento. Esta canción me provoca felicidad

[@coltonk.3086]

¡Yo tambien!

[@heysticks]

This is so perfect, what on earth. It's almost as perfect as your username. Seriously, I've never heard anyone nail this song so hard.

[@frederickglass1583]

The beauty that is this cover makes my inner child emotional as hell. This is THE anthem of Christmas for me

[@JonathanTash]

Wow! The instrumentation that you chose, really came together nicely.

[@lilfurman]

Great rendition! :) Love the instrument choice, really fits the game's wacky upbeat atmosphere.

[@TheHpmonk]

why does this song always make me happy? =D

[@Richter12]

Is amazing the quality of your work. I have not seen a single video of someone else that could be close to your covers. congratulations!!!

[@Karuranya]

Fabuloso. Me encantan tus canciones de Banjo Kazooie. ♥

[@sergioherrera4583]

Nunca olvidaremos ese artista que nos hizo felices en la era del Nintendo 64 con sus soundtracks de banjo Kazzoie

[@rileytownsend8403]

I just want to say this is superb. If I wasn’t watching I would swear this was actual gameplay. I find it so amazing that you incorporated every instrument into your recordings, right down to the small sound effects in the background. I think banjo-kazooie music is by far the hardest to recreate and you nailed it my friend. Very well done👍

[@darkdust]

Perfect music, perfect level for this time of year

[@digggert]

wahey!!! :3

[@Metro1927]

wheeee!!!

[@Blathilzar]

This made me very happy. thanks dude.

[@TheKevin12345]

Just in time for winter! Great job as always.

[@DavidLRen]

Awesome job! Well done!! I would like to ask you the following 6 questions. 1. Can you tell us a bit of your musical background? 2. Do you or any of your family members enjoy playing video game? 3. Are you familiar with any video game music? 4. How do you relax yourself in your leisure time? 5. What's your favorite video game series? 6. Why did you want to create the username PoopPoopFart as your KZbin channel?

[@Marcotonio]

Y'know, I took my old melodica out of the case and started playing it cause of your Banjo & Kazooie arrangements. Freezeezy Peak was the first one I learned on my own, so it's really great to see it done properly by you.

[@seandonovanthegreat7608]

i love this one

[@dw_drummer3828]

dude this is awesome! great work!

[@TheTriforcekeeper]

You know, when I come home from work I always have a lot of new videos in my subbox and most of them really interest me. Some make me go "Awesome!" but yours are some of the very few which make me go "OMG HE UPLOADED A NEW VIDEO, GOTTA WATCH IT NOW!" Great work, thanks for the upload! Really enjoy your Banjo-Kazooie covers!

[@seibpa]

each video impresses me more and more

[@euclidesmelo8866]

awesome, please record all banjo kazooie songs! great work!

[@CaptainCrunchOwns]

These covers are an absolute triumph. You even used a Christmassy lighting effect between 0:57 and 1:08. How long do these take to complete?

[@PoopPoopFart]

+Captain Crunched Thank you! From the time when I start arranging to the time when I upload, these videos generally take about 20 days to complete, more or less.

[@tomfetherston5833]

+Captain Crunched Well, it reminds me of December.

[@frederickglass1583]

Growing up as a kid in the late 90s... Just HEARING this automatically brings one thing to mind: CHRISTMAS I'm blasting this in my aunt's house on repeat when we decorate for the holidays this year

[@connorgaither5972]

I've been coming back to this channel for years. I owe you for my childhood, sir. Stay great

[@Ilovewashers]

I love the Melodica intro.

[@katers1233]

well this is AWESOME!!!

[@jordanblack6787]

Keep it up man! Only the publishing date gets old.

[@TheBeardGaming]

Outstanding, so many instruments!

[@laurenchamberlain4792]

I've always loved Freezeezy Peak's music....

[@johnsummers1659]

This song will put you in the Christmas spirit .

[@martinewt]

Ok, this is BEYOND AWESOME. Thanks for the video!

[@igorgiuseppe1862]

omg, awesome! i dint realize all those songs were possible in real instruments, especialy the ones from snes era (since they did some code to make sounds that the snes couldnt do otherwise) can you play Rusty Bucket Bay?

[@XFanmarX]

I've seen a ton, an absolute *TON* of videogame music covers here on KZbin. You just blew my mind, such high quality! So many instruments! Such clear sound! Thanks so much man I hope this channel gets double the traffic it has now!

[@leekuhuangee3425]

this is just... amazing

[@error.418]

What is that deep sounding yet so small (single reed?) instrument you start playing around 0:32 ? It's beautiful. Oh, is it a Xaphoon?

[@PoopPoopFart]

Yup, it's a xaphoon!

[@Bulby]

At the moment, I'm using the public folder in my Dropbox to host MP3's, it's not ideal, but it's something you could consider

[@PoopPoopFart]

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll take a look at that one.

[@troyoo85]

awesome cover for one of my favorite B&K music

[@Smithy4224]

Ah, it's good to hear from you again, man! Your covers are always a joy to listen to, and these BK ones are especially nostalgic. As for a place for MP3s, I'd suggest Dropbox. I've never used it myself, but another KZbinr I follow has a lot of his stuff there, and it seems to work well.

[@punishedfist]

doesn't get better than this

[@JackQAnimations]

this is such a beautiful representation of the song! you really captured the beauty! well done

[@caliklepto1316]

insane

[@BlastOffBobby]

im so sorry I found this so late but I can't express how amazing this is. from the steel xylophone thing, to the noise that sounds like a spring(excuse me for not knowing the proper names of the instrument) this was a 10/10 cover. thank you so much for this. brought me to the verge of tears from all the nostalgia. insta favorited.

[@bamdad4927]

If I'm correct that xylophone thingy is called a glockenspiel

[@Bugser64]

The spring thing is a jaw harp

[@xDIMENSIONZEROx]

Excelente.

[@Jason75913]

Monster Mansion and Rusty Bucket Bay when? =D

[@samuelitooooo]

Licinius Varrus Oh man I wanna hear Monster Mansion

[@DrTorture28]

You are the best man ever!!!

[@peon17]

You have no idea how excited I was to see this pop up in my list of videos. I suspect I will be listening to this several times a day for at least the next two weeks.

[@ArNet2012]

Such an amazing performance, every instrument can be appreciated, artist like you deserve to be viral, not the bullshit we see in every corner. Thanks for bringing our childhood full of joy with your interpretations

[@SweetLittleRnRoller]

So many BK covers, fantastic! And you chose literally all of those I was intending to arrange... haha, wonderful! Good sound, good arrangements, neatly edited. Good job!

[@anthonyretroroulette7823]

WAHAY!

[@eBuddy89]

If you haven't done all the music from Banjo&Kazooie - you should! :) Its like a truckload of nostalgia whenever you post a new one.

[@laary7589]

I found my Christmas theme

[@goldhonda2153]

Great job amigo. Clean as heck too. 2 thumbs up

[@Mastaevan123]

I opened my window, screamed out of it then slammed it shut when I saw you uploaded a new BK cover. and damn how many melodicas do you have? looking to sell any?

[@conkersla]

You are soooo amazing it hurts. Please do vids again.

[@samiunderhill5612]

This video is 5 years old but I discover it today on christmas!

[@musicaldoge9412]

It’s not like the other orchestra tracks that others do, and that’s good for it stands out in the crowd, as it is a unique version of this classic theme. Unlike other people’s versions which are loud, bombastic, or both. This one is calm, relaxing, and very home like which gives off a warm feeling while listening to during the winter. Thanks for creating this and the other projects you have made, keep creating and having a good one.

[@bluebomber360]

So.. much... memoriesssss...

[@fo-ef8qo]

sounds like it should be in a yoshi or game or any "crafted/yarn" aesthetic game

[@oreziopancrazio3685]

Ahahahahaha you make me happy!! Delicious sound! Awesome

[@Token_Machine]

I suggest using Sound Cloud for your mp3s, you get 2 hours of music to upload for free.

[@PoopPoopFart]

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll be sure to check that one out tomorrow.

[@themagicalgamer]

Amazingly made! Perfect Christmas music! With you playing this I'll finally acknowledge it being Christmas time.

[@joelvibrittania9954]

amazing one of the best vg covers ive ever seen

[@peopeo99]

Joel Vi Brittania he's the composer from the game

[@otakyon89]

Thanks for the earlier Christmas present!

[@Ganontofu]

I love this

[@Soctch]

I was so happy to find you posting a video! They always make my day. Also can you make Dragon Roost Island from The legend of Zelda-Windwaker? Its my favorite song so if you can ill be really happy!

[@PoopPoopFart]

That one is high up on my list of stuff to record, but the fast rasgueado on the stringed instrument is the only thing that's holding me back. Maybe one of these days I'll stop being lazy and learn how to strum that part so I can finally check it off of my list!

[@HighOnDefinition]

PoopPoopFart I support this idea!

[@Soundole]

This is a really cool arrangement, love the inventive instrumentation :)

[@stinkstank9807]

Absolute banger

[@NicoMendozaMusic]

this is so cool! thanks for covering this. I especially loved the octave switches you did going from one instrument to another

[@valevallo]

this is amazing

[@gabs_sandoval]

Thanks for do this, I really was expecting for you to do this! :)

[@skynet36]

get jiggy with it

[@callmeAnny1]

Love this comment hahaha

[@doctorhalprinstein]

This is astoundingly wonderful.

[@Mongo1210]

[@ksochia12]

[@TheBestBoyyeeehehe]

great as always

[@the_maverickk]

It's a bummer that none of the links to download the song work anymore. Hopefully eventually legitimately having a website set up to download them. That would be cool :)

[@andypejman]

AMAZING! Thank you

[@marissamckenzie1507]

woah. awesome job on Banjo-Kazooie Freezeezy Peak, my childhood gaming system!

[@thegriefreportofficial]

Thank you for this~

[@hackepeter1895]

[@pedrusq6387]

This one was the best so far! I Bet if you coveredCcloud Cuckoland and Clanker's Cavern would be amazing, too!

[@misterpantherman7678]

Damn dude. My childhood flashed from this.

[@tailsthefox7914]

This is awesome!

[@theNecksLevel]

God you deserve so many more views. I'm loving this so much.

[@moamim9515]

O único ruim desse vídeo, e quando ele acaba 😢

[@SnickeringMongoose]

Awesome and whoever gave this the down vote is a joyless fool!
