"Bye Bye There" is such a perfect finale to the game. Traveling back through the entire tower to gather everyone up and leave; it could have easily been a credits roll, but they chose to make it one last challenge, a mad dash to where it all began.

[@christophermetcalf7540]

Fun Fact: The reason "Bye Bye There!" sounds like "It's Pizza Time!" is because the level it plays in (The Crumbling Tower Of Pizza, which is the final level of the game) is one big escape sequence through the hub worlds of the game, right after the final boss. So "Bye Bye There!" is basically meant to be a more triumphant rendition (and a reprise) of "It's Pizza Time!" which is why it uses the leitmotif.

[@toyfreddygaming]

even the name is an its pizza time reference. the first sample used in its pizza time is a "hello there!", and since bye bye there is an escape from the pizza tower using a reprise of its pizza time, the name of the song is taken from the opposite of that sample: "Bye bye there!"

I gotta say out of all of these "Profesion in Music Reacts to ____ Soundtrack" yours are consistently my favorite. I love how obvious it is your having fun while listening to the tracks, your insight and analysis of the tracks is ALWAYS on point and interesting, AND the violin jam section afterwards never fails to go hard.

[@twitterusersshouldntbreath2680]

[@StringPlayerGamerOfficial]

Wow! Thank you so much!

[@themustardman219]

Marcomeatball is nice too

[@Megamike144p]

I love that in Deep Dish 9, if you're playing at a good speed, you'll reach the first rocket right at the moment the hook kicks in. It's just so perfect.

[@MPZK.]

I love that too! It's like in the noise fight the breakdown happens when you hit the second phase if you hit most damage opportunities. Never saw a game do that before but I seriously love it in pizza tower

[@internetcrusader2419]

"Bye Bye, There!" is definitely the perfect way to cap off such a wonderful descent into madness: it's a victory lap. Gone is the anxiety of not knowing what's around the next corner, and in its place you feel the confidence of knowing that you're unstoppable, having beaten the master of the tower and all its minions to an absolute pulp just moments before. The music shifts impeccably from pure anxiety to a confident groove. And yet, in the middle of it all, the melancholic vibes cut in to remind you that after everything, it's finally almost over. It's an incredible emotional ride from start to finish.

[@Jack_Woods]

I like to believe that in those moments Peppino feels this new found appreciation for his Pizzeria despite all his problems, he went through it all to save it, and now all he wants to do is go home at last

[@helix2331]

even though it's really not meant for humans, it's still really really fun to try to play stuff that you know probably won't work i learned the melody of oregano mirage on my viola, and it's hard but you feel so cool pulling it off

[@StringPlayerGamerOfficial]

Totally.

[@thathyze]

You should definitely check out the two songs that appear in arguably the best level Pig City "Bite the Crust" and "Way of The Pig" ! And also, my personal favorite, "Tunnely Shimbers" !

[@makeacupoftea5310]

I can agree, megavibes.

[@IronCzykMusic]

Tunnely Shimbers goes much harder than it should.

[@_smugmaster_4553]

Pig city is not my favorite level but definitely one of the best ost, actual peak funky bangers

[@PrivateDaisy]

Tunnely Shimbers enjoyer? High five!

[@Cosmo_Samoyed]

I love The Pig City's themes, such a fun and creative setting for the level and the music absolutely slaps!

[@corvcorv]

Oregano Mirage is SO underrated I don’t hear enough people talking about it and it’s one of my favorite songs off the ost

[@spiderxdgaming]

I feel like the reason it’s so underrated is because it’s not entirely special; there’s no unique technique or solo. Aside from this, it’s still a great song!

[@OsakaSGM]

My fav one is tombstone Arizona

[@Robotblock1337]

[@SunroseStudios]

we really love Extraterrestrial Wahwahs because it breaks the convention of putting a spooky theremin in "alien music", and instead goes with a funky wah guitar and some intermittent atonality. really unique take on the theme it's portraying, and still works super well!

[@WhatJoSays]

Honestly I think you should react to *ALL* the boss themes, Pepperman Strikes (which you already listened to), Calzonification, Pumpin’ Hot Stuff, and Pizza Time Never Ends. They’re ALL amazing in their own right, and I think you’ll have a blast listening to them. Amazing reaction as always, SPG!

[@supersmilyface1]

I'd love to hear his thoughts on the other boss themes (especially Pizza Time Never Ends)!

[@aplix747]

I think the electric guitar part in "extraterrestrial wahwas" might be the most badass part of the whole OST, which is a lot considering I think almost every song is a solid 10/10

[@fernandoxique4235]

I love "extraterrestrial wah wahs" too, but my favorite guitar solo is in tubular Trash zone

[@baimhakani]

That riff sounds like the beginning of Thunder

[@jieze2559]

The riff really reminds me of aerodynamic by Daft Punk which is fitting given its a space level

[@darsterz]

it reminds me of thunderstruck by ac/dc a bit too, just that solo in general is amazing and the whole song is such a vibe

[@Jack_Woods]

I feel like the calm parts of Bye Bye There sorta represent what the player and to an extent probably the characters are feeling while you escape the Crumbling Tower of Pizza, reminiscing about all the good times you had with all the level gimmicks, and realizing how far you've gone since barely knowing how to play the game to that point Then the music kinda reminds you to continue rushing, and right before the final stretch there's the finality of realizing Pizza Man is defeated, and this is finally the end of Peppino's torment to save his Pizzeria, and all the new friends he made along the way And then, give it closure with Pizza Time going harder than ever before, what the entire game used to cause anxiety and at times be your defeat, is now Peppino's cheer, like the fear is gone and you're now riding the wave, confident that you've got what it takes this time around

[@TheManOfManyNames.]

Unlike It’s Pizza Time! which emphasizes more on “GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE,” Bye Bye There! emphasizes more on “You’re almost there, brother. Soak it in. Enjoy the finale.” That truly makes Bye Bye There! one of the best songs in the game.

[@bigimp3018]

I heavily recommend pizza time never ends, its my personal favorite boss theme

[@j_0ed]

[@dalehayden3830]

Oh yes, masterful use of dissonance

[@uncroppedsoop]

@@dalehayden3830 it's more like, deliberately going out of key, maybe even microtonal at times. definitely off but not super blatantly dissonant. feels almost unintentional which is perfect

[@dalehayden3830]

@@uncroppedsoop it's the time signature that's messed up, not just the key It keeps getting carried away, then trying to recollect itself

[@uncroppedsoop]

@@dalehayden3830 most of the song is cohesive in terms of time signature, but there _is_ a part where the percussion and everything else are in a really awkward polyrhythm with one another. it's like the song makes the most sense when it's not trying to be something else, which is pretty neat

[@FrinniferFran]

A few of my favorite tracks are Yeehaw Delivery Boy, Bite the Crust, Way of the Pig, Thousand March (Which you’ve previously listened to) and Wudpecker. They’re all VERY different (save for Bite the Crust and Way of the Pig being from the same level) but each one encapsulates their respective levels perfectly

[@catonawatermelon8]

i like thousand march because of the sfx at the background,like you hear march behind,then the whistle

[@retro6416]

Awesome stuff! I'm still going to suggest Good Eatin, Dungeon Freakshow, Celsius Troubles (as well as it's counterpart "Don't Preheat your oven beacuse if you do the song won't play.") But I'm gonna throw you a bit of an underrated one in my opinion. "Unearthly Blues" the first level theme! I think people don't give it enough credit, but besides the title screen, hub world, and tutorial themes, it's the first piece of music you hear in game, and I think it deserves more love.

[@Dawn_thegoofball]

If you ever feel sad or useless, remember this dude is here to make you smile with his videos

[@Rubberman202]

I love that this is an on-going series, you're input on the music in this game is both insightful and fun to hear! "Bye Bye There!" is one of those tunes I've seen people go back and forth on. It's very popular, and I do like it, but there are definitely tracks I like more. It's definitely a fitting track for the part of the game where it plays, though if you haven't played Pizza Tower yet, I won't spoil it for you. I will point out that the "It's Pizza Time!" leitmotif isn't the only thing that connects the two tracks, though. You know how in "It's Pizza Time!" there someone going "Hello There!" at the beginning? And what's the name of this track? ;) When it comes to "Extraterrestrial Wahwahs", I feel like I kind of slept on it. While it's still not one of my favorites from Pizza Tower, it goes so hard on the guitar in the middle that I can definitely see why it IS a lot of people's favorite! If there's one thing I love about "Oregano Mirage", it's that it's incredibly fast-paced, which makes it incredibly addicting to listen to. Definitely one of my favorites from ClascyJitto, one of the three composers for Pizza Tower. In fact, out of all the tracks you've listened to this, is the first CJ composition you've reacted to, all the other ones were done by Mr. Sauceman. Other tracks I hope you'll check out: There's a Bone in my Spaghetti, Tubular Trash Zone, Good Eatin', Calzonification, Pumpin' Hot Stuff, and Pizza Deluxe!

[@saulgoodman5073]

I feel like I kind of slept on Bye Bye There, I have to say it's probably my first or second favorite

You HAVE to listen to all of the boss tracks ( besides Unexpectancy since you listened to that one ) because they’re all so good. My personal favorite HAS to be Pizza Time Never Ends though. It’s so good and it kind of deceives you in the beginning making you think it’s one thing, but it’s actually a completely different tone shift. I LOVE Pizza Time Never Ends. Edit: I forgot to add them but the song names are Pepperman Strikes, Calzonification, Pumpin’ Hot Stuff, and Pizza Time Never Ends. In that order

[@cookievaandgaming]

"Bye Bye There!" has feelings of emotion because **SPOILERS** It plays in the final level of the game, the final Pizza Time. After beating the game, you now have to barrel out of the tower as the whole thing crumbles down as you escape through areas you've become so familiar with. Your only goal now is to get out, your job is done.

Thank for understanding! It is indeed a double edged sword in that context but I am primarily a musician and not a gaming content creator. So the priority for me is very much self-explanatory.

[@SighFi]

yeah, i get that completely!! and i mean, it's not like listening to even every single track in the ost before playing the game for yourself will "spoil the experience" or whatnot in any way........ hell, might even wind up as more rewarding, being able to recall tracks like "oh!! so THAT'S where this plays, neat!!" and on the flipside, you obviously don't need to have played the game to enjoy the music!! these videos are great, and i love the freestyling along with the tunes, it's SO cool :D

When you're finished obsessing about Pizza Tower, give Arsi Hakita's work (as Heaven Pierce Her) a try. Ultrakill is a game designed and developed by a fellow music composer, under the premise its gameplay is what he considered fun after a failed effort to create a stealth title. Lots of *big* guitar, lots of Amen-style breaks, lots to love if you're into that. And also some weird stuff. It's pretty good.

[@yeetlejuice7181]

spoilers (i guess? if you can even say a game like pizza tower has spoilers) that adds some context to the first song Bye Bye There having It's Pizza Time's leitmotif in it is even better in context; the entire world hub of the game is secretly one big level, and after beating the final boss, you escape to the very beginning of the hub world like how you do with every level Bye Bye There plays during that final escape sequence. It's like one big farewell to the game, and while they gave that escape sequence its own song because it's a special moment, the leitmotif from It's Pizza Time is still there; not only to reference the fact that it's an escape sequence, but as a way of generally calling back to the journey you've been on up to this point, since you hear It's Pizza Time multiple times in the game

17:38 what I associated it with is actually Crush40 from the pre-boost sonic era

[@lorissirol2684]

I would really love a Sonic Mania ost review. Metallic Madness act 2, Green Hill Act 2, Studiopolis, hell all the ost is insanely good

[@SkisnwOnTop]

honestly agree and it gives off the same vibe as pizza tower atleast to me

[@twiton_]

God I love your violin solos

[@reddicing]

that extraterrestial wahwah solo was actually fire, love these vids!

[@gamerule18]

Hi-Fi Rush 's soundtrack is also nice, if you wanna check that out some time. As for more Pizza Tower tracks I'd recommend "Tubular Trash Zone" "Calzonification* "Dungeon freakshow" "Yeehaw Deliveryboy" And "Peppino's sauce machine"

[@belle83773]

Bye Bye There! Is such a banger! Especially the last like 10 seconds of the song it’s fire!

[@Deceptiwolf]

Quite insightful and informative examination of the music, your reactions also give interesting insight. As for a suggestion for Video game music, "Ideal" and "Butsutekkai" from Ikaruga would be interesting to see you reaction to.

[@WhoStoleKirya73]

Anyone else noticing how his violin skills are improving? It's really noticable comparing to some of the older videos

[@doctorsex6428]

He probably does practice off-camera

[@Ivoryx7502]

I would recommend listening to Terraria Calamity mod OST. Especially the song from that game called Universal Collapse, that one will leave you absolutely SPEECHLESS!

[@mcspiffy5843]

If you like Wah Wha guitar twang, you may check out the soundtrack for a game called De Blob. It’s got some bangers. Also, that slow-sounding hymn you mention at 19:00 is the same found in my childhood game Glover 64 - Atlantis Boss. Those notes took me back in time for a second.

[@meiigayy4952]

I definitely recommend 2 of the boss themes, Calzonification and Pizza Time Never Ends! They are both insane in different ways and are just a joy to listen to! Your content is awesome man

[@luook3]

You should definitely try Blue Reflection Second Light - W-P. Neurons and E. Synapse, I think you might find both interesting since they are battle themes with violin as the main instrument. Absolutely awesome video, love when you bang your head to the rhythm, such a vibe!

[@vsevolodgushhin343]

Before of last rock drop, it is very good compose around Amen Break. Love it.

[@42_violets]

Incredible! I love these videos, I learn so much about music every time. I would love to hear you react to "Pizza Time Never Ends" from this game, it's one of my personal favorites Edit: spelling

[@sackfu7952]

You definitely should do an episode just listening to the other four boss themes, each one is good in it's own right

[@Eddiember]

"Bye Bye There" is such an amazing song. I would have never guessed this song would be the Finale of the game just by listening to the song itself, but for some reason once you are descending the tower it just feels right listening to it. When you mentioned the Drums leaving the music it finally clicked. Its almost over, Peppino can finally rest after this. That moment of calm he had not experienced since arriving in the tower. Other then perhaps "Mort's Farm"/"What's On the Kid's Menu" there hasn't really been a moment for Peppino to slow down. Expect maybe the bonus stages. The "It's Pizza Time!!!" Motif there because, well, It's Pizza Time, but its more triumpht because its the last one, and the Drums being removed is when Peppino can finally rest.

[@max_harwell]

Fun fact: in Oregano Desert, that middle eastern sounding sample you described was actually used in Arid Sands - Day from Sonic Unleashed, it is a very front and center sample used in that song.

[@oregonz]

'Bye bye There!' is my number one fav song in the OST, with 'PIZZA TIME NEVER ENDS', 'Pizza Time', 'Yeehaw Delivery' and a couple other songs being absolute bangers

[@ThankYouStayedHere]

18:25 the guitar pattern reminds me of the outro from Domination - Pantera

[@danwommer]

10:18 That hat alone is giving me PTSD

[@ffenixfubuki]

you've gotta listen to Tubular Trash Zone - its got an amazing solo Peppibot factory both tracks, and also R-R-Freezerator

[@evagonzalez7121]

22:55 want to fast forward to Oregon desert here it is

[@simonepolo2388]

Two really cool songs you can react to can be Tropical Crust and Oregano Mirage

[@simonepolo2388]

other two of wich the levels i recently replayed: Tubular Trash Zone and Peppino's Sauce Machine

[@ojhat]

I was absolutely FLOORED with that cover of Oregano Mirage! You made it sound even way cooler in a new unique way!! I'm really happy you got to listen and react to two of my favorite songs from the Pizza Tower OST. Here's hoping you might be willing to do more listenin' to my other 2 top-favorite songs from the Pizza Tower soundtrack sometime soon, "Tropical Crust" and "Good Eatin'"! :D

[@Resetium]

Bye Bye There! is frankly my favorite pizza tower OST. It's frankly an amazing capstone to the game. Some of my favorite tracks are the boss tracks, particularly Pumpin Hot Stuff ( VS *_The Noise_* ) and PIZZA TIME NEVER ENDS ( VS *_Peppino?_* ). The former is one of those tracks that you instinctively _know_ is a rival fight, just by hearing the sheer focus of the track, plus those orchestral hits reminding you that this is The Noise's show right now. The latter? A mockery of your theme, the Pizza Time leitmotif _pretending_ to display itself in the unsettling 7/2 patterns. God help you if you try to drum to that, 8bit did not survive. Fitting for a being that exists as a cruel mockery of yourself, a being that is just as stalwart as yourself.

[@colinrosenecker]

Everybody gangsta til the tambourine in Extraterrestrial wahwahs kicks in

[@dorcusss3693]

If I were to describe this song as a piece of food... I would describe it as a super spicy cactus burrito that's on fire (and the tortillia is actually a pizza)

[@carmencraciun4901]

I hope the next song will be Pumpin hot stuff, the motifs in there are awesome, personally my favourite song in pizza tower

[@Shurksk]

bye bye there is really the perfect theme for the escape sequence when the entire tower of pizza is about to collapse

[@unnam3d__]

the fact he put an old unused background that would only appear during pizza time very early on in development in the thumbnail, the only time i've ever even seen it is in the GOLF april fools demo.
