Attempting to Make a Stinky Video Game Boss Theme in 10 Minutes || Shady Cicada

Stinky Video Game Boss Themes. You might be asking "what are Stinky Video Game Boss Themes?". They are very real my friend. Stinky boss themes are usually in more...quirky video games, but they can exist anywhere. Have you ever encountered a character who was just...designed to be kinda gross? And sometimes they have a theme with a chunky wet bass or possibly some brass? No? Oh. Well... it still exists. The best examples I can give are themes like Belch's Battle theme from Earthbound or some of the tracks from Wario World. The character can be as cool as a cucumber. But they can still have a little stank. Either way, here's a video where I try to make a stinky boss theme in a very unsafe amount of minutes. This is "Attempting to Make a Stinky Video Game Boss Theme in 10 Minutes". I hope you enjoy!

This sounds like I'm living in Wario's one pair of underwear.

[@alexa.fig_msm]

this is the only time where this is considered a compliment

This is with out a doubt the best comment I've seen on KZbin, or any other site for that matter.

the sax player has some amazing lungs to never have to take a breath

theres two and they alternate each note to breathe

please send help, i cant handle the stank.

[@freshcarrot2253]

This feels like it would be the only song that is ever played in one of those really old GameCube games,that you used to love as a child,but it kinda just freaks you out now

[@zombathinlostleghackercat5233]

Thank you for actually putting the whole sog without it fading out. You know that guy who made *"I Made A Song Using Only Undertale Sounds"* and *"I Made A Song Using Only Deltarune Sounds"* ? That guy has the song fade out at the end, I don't like that. Hmm....

[@nathanl3557]

Made me think of a sort of TMNT side scrolling game. Nice job!

[@jdsharp9462]

dont know why but this reminds me of pokemon stadium. i forgot what the town is called but its very broken industrial kind of town.

It's Pyrite Town from Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness.

@@IvySorhsounds good to me

[@adamm751]

The wrong notes in the first version, in my opinion, made the song better with its dissonance, giving the song a much bigger STANK

[@ShinyGreninja14]

Anyone notice the WOOD WOOD in the final version, not even used, but just chillin there?

[@captainyulef5845]

To me it sounds like a battle theme in a more slow paced turn based game

[@pjacc9628]

Uh ohhh

[@railemneo6993]

[@Athazago]

Why does the first part, where you took 10 minutes for creating it, sound like an "overworld" theme for a middle school bully with 10 axe cans strapped around his shoulder on an ammunition belt when you first encounter him and and the finished version like in a rpg fight with him and his gang? Dude, someone make an rpg about a middle / high schooler in his 2nd year there and use this theme for the bully / bad boy gang :P Edit: sry, english isn't my first language, some mishaps with grammar and wording
