Writing the theme song for our FAVORITE creators @Rhett&Link

[@Pomplamoose]

It’s still amazing to me how much work went into SEVEN SECONDS of music and video. We’ve worked with Rhett and Link before. We’ve been on the show and seen how it works. But the team they’ve assembled still amazes me.

[@jcspider7259]

13:29 Whoa... 7 versions, 4 feedback rounds, 172 hours of recording & mixing, 142 layers of audio, 69 emails, ALL FOR 7 SECONDS OF MUSIC! Couldn't have been for a better reason. Thank you!!!

[@GoodMythicalMorning]

Our team amazes us too, as do the two of you! Thanks so much for updating your contribution to Good Mythical Lore with this new theme. Wouldn't have had it any other way and we love it! -R&L

[@DTH_MT]

Genius work once again!🔥

[@jolbags]

​@@GoodMythicalMorning Maybe you guys should commission Pomplamoose to give their take on the 'Ambient Massage Song' :D

[@Bound4Earth]

I love it when you guys do behind the scenes work here and on Scary Pockets. The "We turned “Beautiful People” into a musical" and "How We Arrange & Record Songs: Black Hole Sun" are my favorite videos you have made on both channels. They show how a simple five minute video take hours to create with so much back and forth before anyone meets up in person.

[@winslow8779]

I love seeing Chase in his producer element; we so often see him doing the crazy stuff in front of the camera, but love seeing how professional and good he is at his job.

[@winslow8779]

And of course seeing Jack's creative process behind the music, looooove it

[@pdodwell1575]

What a chameleon he is. So silly on set, but so smoothly and confidently professional behind the scenes. 👍👍👍

[@pdodwell1575]

Thanks PPM team for sharing this video. Great fun!

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

It reminds me that not only are Rhett, Link, and Stevie pretty much just talent for the GMM machine part-time, while their full time job is a lot more involved and professional, but Chase is like that as well.

[@doddleoddle]

SO LUSH loved seeing the whole damn process Also you 4 together makes me ! Shriek

[@aviramspies]

The fact that you are part of this cinematic YT universe makes me shriek !

[@codymarrott5720]

I literally love you so much Lmfaoo

[@landonlasater2692]

Seeing Chase rise over the years from a PA to someone in charge of something as integral as the theme song is awesome to see! Almost as great as when he broke an apple with his bare hands

[@videhbhaav]

*enter that specific ahh

[@Emily_Charter]

This was incredible! I never knew that Pomplamoose did the GMM intro. I've been watching both channels for over a decade. Really enjoyable stuff.

[@elliefantyellow]

Ditto

[@LouiseLillith]

Same!! Im a bit mindblown! :O

[@CaseyBlackvidz]

Same! Worlds colliding!

[@meenaz1934]

Then how did you not know!? Go back....you've missed some great content 😘

[@jmeind]

Sameeee, imagine my excitement. Amazing results too

[@SycoSp1der]

I honestly thought the new intro was cgi, im shocked they did that so amazingly with practical effects.. outstanding job to both teams!

[@weakw1ll]

Im just learning this

[@ayeronair]

@@weakw1lldude you’re everywhere I go- lol

[@ericaislostinthemusic2937]

WOW. I mean, there IS NO “half ass” when it comes to ANYTHING Mythical. It’s just not possible. (Side bar: I LOVED that second version y’all played for us!) Gosh, this was incredible. Thank you!! 🥰

[@widelecprawdy]

The second one was so good! I wish it was in the intro :p

[@mekan0001]

Man, the amount of detail that went into the miniatures for 7 seconds of video is unreal. No wonder Rhett and Link have had such longevity as the attention to detail is astounding. Oh, and the song is awesome too ;p.

[@CovetousCommoner]

As a music producer, 142 layers of audio is just insane to think about for only 7 seconds. That probably doesn't include all of your automations, mixing, and mastering inside of ableton. Props!

[@ManCub583]

I had no clue how much work was put into just the theme song/video. And it’s literally like a whole movie set in front of the desk that you don’t even know about.This is amazing!! I already had a lot of respect for Rhett and Link (love watching them), but man…I’m on a whole other level of respect not just for them, but everyone else that puts in so much work to make their channel happen!

[@gdhaym8_]

Right!! ✨

[@mias567]

Wow. Can't believe there's so much work in an intro 😅 really nice to see the process, makes me value it all in a different way

[@TheMrCC21]

Not everything comes together easily. Some things happen over a period of time. Some of the most iconic themes have taken lots of time to create while some just happened. It's like when filming videos for KZbin. The end result you see take lots of time and takes to get down right. Rhett & Link don't just do things in one take. It doesn't just happen like that.

[@fireant202]

Especially for the visual elements. You can barely register some of those details they were talking about, like the little people in the scenes.

[@katyferrell2953]

i never would have been able to fully appreciate the new intro without this. absolutely amazing! great job pomplamoose and mythical crew!

[@arothmanmusic]

I don’t think most people realize just how much time and effort goes into tiny little productions like this all the time.

[@DobraEspacial]

That's awesome! It's so cool when you show the behind the scenes of these types of projects!

[@tmcpadilla]

13:05 Didnt expect this to make me tear up esp when they played the final version at the end during the show. Rhett, Link and the Mythical team are beyond awesome!

[@renzorg]

THIS WAS THE BEST INTRO AND THEME OF THE SHOW SO FAR. This behind-the-scenes video was so crazy. Congratulations to ya'll and the entire Mythical team. What a way to celebrate a decade.

[@juanpallautapulido200]

A focused team; a lot of hard work, creative people, a shared vision. Thanks for showing how true magic is created.

[@Fedbo]

Congrats pomplamoose on this! I loved seeing the process of the sketching different versions and revisioning :) I do some work on fiver as a guitarist/composer and I can definitely relate to some of that endless tweaking before getting to the final take where everyone's super happy :)

[@davidnoahperkins]

Every bit of the creation of the ten year intro, every individual involved every clip, every moment, it all just fills me with a pride to be a minuscule part of a bigger thing that has done so much good to do many people’ lives that it kind of swells me with a happiness that almost makes me tear up

[@Blullaby]

Pomplamythical is a grandiose word. I didn't know we needed it, but now that it's in the world it should never be forgotten ❤️ ! I've loved you guys way before I became a mythical beast, so back in the day when I saw your name in the credits I was really pumped and I was super proud you got chosen to fulfill this mythical purpose (': but who better than you?? And a few weeks ago hearing the mythical crew shout you out was a treat (': ! As always, your work is fantastic ! Thank you for many years of musical bliss (: ! Warmth and love to you two lovebirds 🔆

[@Rageify]

Ben's description of the show is perfect: organized chaos, that's what makes it so good!

[@colleenmarie1689]

I don’t know why but seeing the crew clap after brought tears to my eyes. ❤️

[@SuperMustache555]

Wow, I never even realized you wrote that iconic theme song or that you guys met at Playlist Live... you learn something new every day!

[@cadenisforeverbored1612]

JACK CONTE IS IN POMPALAMOOSE???? HES THE CEO OF PATREON??? YOU MADE GMM’S THEME SONG????

[@pinktline]

IKR IM LIKE SO SHOCKED TOO???????

[@amandaweger898]

Wuuuuuuuttttt

[@boiled4safety598]

That was amazing! Holy shit I didn't even realize the intro shot was practical coulda sworn it was like amazing 3D work. The song fits it so well, happy to hear it every morning!

[@landocafe]

I love watching how much creative energy that goes into this short intro.

[@gold94chica]

Wow, I had no clue this much effort went into the intro, thanks for sharing so it can be fully appreciated!

[@thecrazycellist]

Heck yeah! I thought the new intro of GMM was extra awesome, then YT suggested this video and I was like, "Yep, that makes sense!" I was a Pomplamoose fan before GMM and always thought it was super cool that you wrote their original theme song. New iteration is fantastic!

[@jaina__lynn]

As a video creator, it is always so cool to see the behind the scenes of projects other creators are working on. The sheer size of the Mythical team, and all of the cool stuff they are doing always blows my mind. Rhett and Link are my biggest inspirations for following my dreams, and I can only hope to build something half the size of Mythical one day. It is truly amazing what they have accomplished in 10 years. Congratulations guys and here's to another 10 years.

[@JennaEmbers]

This is by far the most memorable intro to date. It is completely burned into my brain, both the visuals and the song. Absolutely captivating from beginning to end, it IS Good Mythical Morning. Well done

[@ElmoRitter]

I'm autistic and I gotta be honest Jack always makes me so jealous because he's got creative qualities that are the kind I rely on my autism for, but then he's able to have successful businesses and business interactions. Shoot, a successful creative brief over zoom would be nice. How do you get to be good at both? What an exciting way to be. I'm jealous but happy for people like that too.

[@pianobooks42]

Love this! The newest intro is definitely my fav so far. It feels like a throwback in all the best ways while still being unique and modern. You all did amazing!

[@jeremyfuster7570]

It's fun seeing Chase in his actual job as a producer and not a sexy cartographer.

[@JustaMuteCat]

I haven’t watched GMM in ages but back then when the music changed from the library one to Pomplamoose’s was the time that GMM finally clicked to me. It also felt back then that “from that moment on” the spirit of the whole thing changed.

[@MidwestMagicMan]

The crossover I didn’t know I needed 😭 I’ve been following both y’all for a while and I didn’t realize you did the theme song!

[@Jazzywazzywoo_]

I cried at the end. (pride and happy tears)!! I love how much of a fan you are and you can see that through how invested you've been. frickin love the mythical beasts

[@zakkloves]

The whole thing is so unbelievable. I've been watching GMM since season 2, and I've only started listening to you guys last year. I didn't know you worked on the version of the intro I love. I feel part of like a giant single space and I love it.

[@SuperPatWorld]

Two of the greatest creative forces on the internet coming together is such a beautiful thing, love to see more Mythical collabs!

[@billyfairbank]

I never knew Pomplamoose did the original intro but I always LOVED that minor chord in the middle. Gives me chills every time.

[@lucasblaise]

The storytelling in this video is top notch. Honestly. Watched from the beginning to end and you carried us all the way! Wow.

[@JoshuaMuse]

It always amazes me how much work goes into that show. It also shows how much work and time goes into creating the perfect sound/tune.

[@DanLoFat]

Another fun point here this the way you shot this and that it's by yourself gives it a Matt Damon on Mars feeling.

[@laustenfound]

Pomplamoose was one of the first youtube videos I obsessed over, the "Beat the Horse" video blew my mind, incorporating each track as a video clip. 2008 wow. One of the main reasons I started making music, seeing that it could be done at home using instruments in all sorts of ways. So, thank you Pomp~

[@rejackz1629]

All this for a 7 second intro! This is amazingly creative and awesome from every aspect!

[@hesaminimalist]

This was such a fantastic video! Loved seeing the process and the struggles internally - well done for pushing through, and delivering something so excellent!

[@misshannahanastasia]

I'm a newer fan to GMM, and knowing that you did the intro song will make me appreciate it all the more now!

[@Crimson_Knight004]

This is so cool seeing the production on both sides! The new intro is amazing, but I think it’s easy to forget just how much work goes into a seven second clip. Seeing it all unfold just makes me appreciate it and all of the work that was put into it even more! Y’all and the GMM Crew are awesome. 👏

[@derrynkai]

SO COOL!! the process of making things for tv/shows really amaze me and seeing just how much work goes into it gives me goosebumps. the hardwork and craftsmanship that went into the 7 seconds certainly does not not go unnoticed! 💖

[@jrbship]

Love this behind the scenes look at the Pomplamythicality!

[@koloblican11763]

The collab I would have never thought would happen. Never knew I needed it, very glad I got it. :D

[@2buxaslice]

I remember reading the comments on the first episode of the new season and everyone was talking about how much they loved it. Great job guys!

[@jesush.christ69]

Insane the amount of employees that GMM employs. Love to see it.

[@itallbeginstoday]

So awesome! You (and Nataly) continue to be some of my absolute favorite creative people on this site. These kinds of videos are so rad!

[@neilbarnwell]

I love how that original had a "Pomplamoose" chord (or maybe it's a chord progression?) in it. I'm not good enough to say which beats it's in, but it's at 2:14- 2:15 when it goes a different way than your brain is expecting. Love it. I know they take too long to make, and I love "modern" Pomplamoose, but I do love those old videos with the awesome lo-fi miniature sets with projections and things. That's what got me into everything that's followed.

[@Kirarak]

I noticed it too! It's just a bass line, but you're right. It sounds so Pomplamoosy :D

[@jurriaanvanderlinden3605]

Nooo wayyyy!!! Rhett and Link are also my 2 fav creators and I follow you guys for a bit lately. So cool to see you did it💜💜

[@charliekirby_]

It's the beatboxing transforming into the background music for me

[@annej.]

Congrats Pomplamoose and thanks for sharing the whole process. Very interesting and instructive to see how all the finetuning ends up leading to a great final result.

[@amandab6566]

Absolutely incredible! I love the thought process. & the mythical team making scenery with duel meanings 🤯 You all went above & beyond with creativity.

[@nomercymayhem]

My two favorite KZbinrs COMBINED. Love to see it. Great work!

[@alienatedvibes]

Omg, I didn't know Pomplamoose created GMM's intro. How awesome is that? Love both channels! ❤❤

[@boblebob]

I want one of these behind the scenes for each new intro from now on!

[@haydenfarquharson465]

This was incredible to learn and watch! How Rhett and link don't have some sort of proper tv show makes me wonder but saying that I'd never want them to

[@regularwonderland]

I forgot how lovely Pomplamoose was until this video. This whole video reminds me that art can be incredibly enjoyable, too!

[@trgdy15]

You can really tell everyone involved put in an incredible amount of work to make this happen and I dare say it was well worth it!

[@fiercegirldesign1]

I loved being able to see some of your process, as well as the GMM crew's behind-the-scenes work. And an added bonus was being able to see Chase in his element. We only seem him wearing ridiculous mid drift shirts and doing all manner of absurdity on GMM, so it was cool to see him working in a more professional, skill-driven capacity. Love the final opening! Thanks for sharing!

[@NOWABO]

Man..... that second version he made was so much better lol

[@melodiebilodeau]

everything is WOW and video editing = 🤌

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

I remember hearing that original theme in a pharmaceutical commercial on cable. I was 14 and was already editing videos for three years and it dawned on me that it was royalty free music. Which is why when they soon added their own theme, i thought it was awesome!

[@josuedcmarquez]

well I have only one month that i found GMM and years of you, and seeing this just blow my mind!

[@IsabelleJRogers]

WOW I always love seeing the behind the scenes of productions. As someone who creates stop-motion short films, I know so much insane detail goes into a mere second of pre-production, set design, film and music. Thank you for your inspiring creative works!

[@adamhollis226]

Oh my gosh.. I have watched and loved GMM since forever and this year I randomly found À Cabo, and Pomplamoose and started loving them too. I had no idea they were the ones who created the intro to one of my favourite shows ever😍😍

[@TheHurrumph]

That was a great mini doc! I really enjoyed how you not only made the theme and participated in the creation but also presented the behind the scenes process that was taking place on the other side. For only being 14 minutes long you managed to stuff so much more into it!

[@JyrzStreams]

I loved watching this whole creative process and I never knew Pomplamoose made the theme that I've listened to almost every morning for years. Also, wow, it doesn't feel like 7+ years since those cool mashup music videos. My favorite little moment from those that I still remember was in the Royals/Loser mashup: "And now a word from our sponsor, a pile of hair"

[@paolaponticelli5241]

I really like the stats at the end, really puts it into perspective how much work goes into 7 secs! Incredible work!

[@gregkolanowski]

So cool. The complete definition of professionalism! Everyone put so much effort into every little detail, and the results show it. Thanks so much for sharing the whole process. Major thumbs up!

[@murirokcs5518]

i love both Pomplamoose and GMM HAD NO IDEA you wrote their amazing theme! of course you did it, who else could it be :D

[@efish206]

Two of our family's favorite creators/folks... thank you so much for sharing the creative process with us!

[@stevensicari500]

Love to see how large of an artistic force Rhett and link empower. So cool

[@sack943]

Love this rarely do we see behind the curtain of the mythical process thanks for showing the mythical beasts how it was made

[@Iamtheartists]

As someone who has been a pomplamoose fan and a gmm fan since the early KZbin days - there was nothing I didn’t like about this ! Loved seeing all the behind the scenes shots of the sets and your mixing . So cool when creative people collaborate 🥰

[@kasgrieve9741]

I’ve religiously watched Rhett and Link since the kitchen days and I never knew you guys created the intro music, finding out two groups of creators I absolutely love have worked together already is incredible, and makes me love both you guys and Rhett and Link all the more

[@SugarcatPlays]

This is surreal. I knew Jack contes work before I discovered Gmm years and years ago

[@DominikMerscheid]

Cool to see the wide-angle gopro shots of your studio!

[@adam.f89]

I honestly haven't made any music in such a long time, but after seeing this video you guys.... I'm so pumped to get creating again!!! Thank you!

[@hollywhatley2677]

This video was amazing! Loved seeing the behind the scenes work for both the music and the visuals! So much detail that you wouldn’t even know about. Also, I love the details in the video like layering the beatboxing onto the next scene of the construction. So good!

[@DJC-System]

Absolutely my favorite intro of GMM. After waking up I make my breakfast and sit down and watch GMM, it totally brings back great memories. Fantastic work on this piece it already feels nostalgic.

[@sentientbeans]

This was SO DANG COOL. Thanks for showing the creative process and that the perfection of the final product we see Is hours and hours of work and collaboration. Humbling and inspiring, from both GMM team and Pomplamoose’s insane creativity!

[@bradleyammons1718]

This is the most relatable video to express the creative process I’ve ever seen.

[@aishgotgame]

man I see videos like these and I feel like there's so much I don't know or understand. I'm amazed by the talented people who crate such beautiful stuff for others to enjoy. love it! its an organized chaos

[@ThisBeEv]

As an aspiring musician myself seeing how much work is going on in the background for that small piece of music is so inspiring and fascinating to me.

[@PogieJoe]

Honestly it's great how both you and R&L have maintained such long, kind Internet careers. So rare.

[@scottrowe533]

That seven-second intro is a Herculean effort, considering the array of collective talents and the ridiculous number of person-hours that went into its creation and production. Bravo! It's also a testament to the professionalism of both teams involved, neither of which just "phoned it in," but in fact committed 110 percent to the project to ensure the final product is as good as it could possibly be. "Behind the scenes" videos like this are also a fine reminder that working professionally in the creative arts - be it as a musician, singer-songwriter, actor, videographer, set designer, audio engineer, ballerina, or as a writer & editor (myself) - is WORK! It's not fun and games, nor is it goofing off in a studio for days on end, once you commit to making such arts the foundation of your professional reputation and rely on your talents to pay the monthly bills and expenses. A great many people tend to lose sight of that. Great work on this one, everybody!

[@haleyperetic8285]

This is the behind the scenes creative stuff that I need more of! I live seeing how they worked together and shared their ideas!

[@theRyanStrong]

Awesome! Would love a track by track or section by section breakdown!

[@Thawney]

This is so lovely!! And this video is absolutely incredible Tysm for showing us the process

[@Jula483]

AMAZING job! It was so fun to see the whole process! And I can't wait to hear this little song every single day as I watch GMM 🥰

[@TheBigtrev1234]

I'm SO PROUD of you all!!! Been watching R&L for over a decade, and just discovered y'all last year. So cool to see the behind the scenes of both wonderful crews! Congratulations

[@RemyElysee]

One lucky lucky fan - they made it into the intro song! So cool!!!

[@krystinam6303]

Love so much that this was you guys! I had no clue but it always felt like it had your vibe. Two sources of pure sunshine creators coming together 🥰😄

[@jazznutz]

This guy has so much creative and yeah let's do it energy, I just can't believe it!
