The Sonic Songs you've NEVER Heard

[@ZachTheInsomniac]

This video is completely demonetized because of the two songs at the start. I’m making no money off of this video. If you guys could become a channel member, it would help a lot. Regardless, hope you all enjoy!

the remix of the sonic eraser theme unironically sounds straight out of smash brawl, as if tee lopes fucking traveled back in time and broke into nintendo's offices to compose it

[@SkyNinjaDelta]

@@pikachuwithabellypatch Tee Lopes fused with Mephiles to create the true form of Solaris, then went back in time specifically to remix Sonic Eraser... for no understandable reason.

[@tmntphan]

2:57 That's actually not true! The real reason it was scrapped is because Jun Senoue didn't want the song and wanted to compose a new song together being All Hail Shadow. I got this from a pinned comment on an upload of the Non-Album version of the song. Awesome Video by the way!

11:35 IS PURE GOLD, DUDE THATS HILARIOUS HOW U DID THAT

[@pikajade]

as someone who spends a ridiculous amount of their life modding srb2 (including most of today), it was wild expecting to hear something that sounds similar to the main theme but not an exact match, then getting hit with literally just the start of the title screen theme followed immediately by the character select leitmotif

[@Lazardeve2]

Bro that sandopolis theme does NOT sound like sandopolis.

[@The_Splatgoon9]

Who I am is one of the few tracks that I’m surprised never caught on. I really do enjoy the song

[@ZachTheInsomniac]

It's actually really good, I adore the vocals

[@joshuareesor1756]

One of the lesser-known official Sonic albums is "Sonic Adventure Remix" by Toshiba EMI Limited, a collection of remixed vocal songs from Sonic Adventure, being reinterpreted in a rougher and more techno style. They feel like something you would hear while fighting the metal versions of each charatcer.

[@mc.gemstone]

I love that album too I haven't listen to it in years, it's so good.

[@desdermania]

I'm so glad this was brought to my attention. There's another Sonic album I found recently called Sonic Remix that has funky interpretations of Sonic CD's music, complete with engrish lyrics. But it looks like someone already made some video about that album.

[@Drydoctor-qo5wt]

They was already funky how did someone make them more funky

[@desdermania]

@Drydoctor-qo5wt I don't know how they did it, but they did.

[@mijetboi]

i'd also like to point out team sonic racing. that game, while being only pretty okay from a gameplay standpoint, has one of the greatest and most underrated soundtracks in sonic history. it's what all sonic soundtracks should strive to be.

[@scrunkore]

TSR soundtrack is peak for bringing back the cool edge theme from unleashed

[@playbossthebest936]

I recommend listening to the "sonic boom" album. It contains remixes of tracks from sonic spinball and sonic cd US, even even if it's more accurate to call the cd songs complete renditions of the respective tracks (probably what we would've heard in the game if Spencer Nielsen had more time to cook). Anyway, the lava powerhouse remix is off the hook and everyone should be aware of its existence

[@SkyNinjaDelta]

We have received a vocal theme for Metal Sonic, technically two of them. The more well-known one is Metal Overlord's theme, "What I'm Made Of". But if you're looking for one for just plain ol' Metal Sonic, "Look-A-Like" from the Sonic OVA has what you're looking for.

[@ZachTheInsomniac]

What I’m made of I wouldn’t say is a metal sonic theme, but look-a-like def could be considered one. The metal sonic theme from virtual sonic is way more perspective oriented like other adventure themes, the lyrics being taken from the perspective of the characters. Look-a-like is more ambiguous in that regard. It’s talking about metal sonic for sure, but if anything it’s from the perspective of sonic. It is close to a metal theme tho, def could be considered one!

[@SkyNinjaDelta]

@ First of all, holy shoot, big cool KZbinr man noticed my comment!!! 🫨❤️ Secondly, What I'm Made Of is a Metal theme in the same way Look-A-Like is. However, it's specifically for Metal Overlord, a niche form that Metal Sonic has only done twice (thrice counting its recreation in Shadow Generations, but that's the first time done again). Because Overlord is so specific, I agree with you, not truly a Metal Sonic theme like the other two are. Just thought it was worth bringing up. Just remembered you said we hadn't received a vocal theme BEFORE, so that definitely disqualifies W.I.M.O. Third of all, although Look-A-Like can be told from Sonic's perspective, it's way more from Metal's perspective. "A short while ago, I was born" implies the recent creation of Metal Sonic. While Sonic is still young, especially in the 90s era, he's still much older than Metal. He has his own home, multiple friends, is on friendly terms with the President (and a little too friendly with President's daughter), and has even been fighting Robotnik for a while. Meanwhile, Metal Sonic was created shortly before the start of the film, and wasn't completed/activated with Sonic's data until well into the plot. Look-A-Like also qualifies as "before" Virtual Metal, as the Sonic OVA was released to retail on May 31st, 1996, while Virtual Sonic came out August 20th of the same year. Kinda crazy how close they are together, 1996 was a good year for Metal Sonic! Not like they can't coexist, and Sonic Team should really consider using both themes for different projects. After all, Sonic has 2 versions of It Doesn't Matter, and also has His World. Shadow has Throw It All Away, All Hail Shadow, and (I Am) All of Me. Come to think of it, not using a Metal Theme from *Virtual* Sonic in Sonic Forces was such a missed opportunity (of course, Forces has plenty of those, as illustrated by this video).

[@scrunkore]

one of the versions of metallic madness has some text to speech type dialogue, that kind of counts as vocals

[@SkyNinjaDelta]

@ Metal Sonic is dead when you get to Metallic Madness, and it's from Robotnik's persective anyway.

[@Barakon]

Robotnik’s Revenge sounds way too Rayman, I can’t handle it!

[@light5315]

Rainy Savannah from Sonic Drift 2 is a really nice song which stood out from everything else in the 8-bit games imo I wish they'd bring it back in a game at some point

[@N8-Squared]

"Burning Way Past Cool" is a song that I believe nobody knows about

[@RackerTheRascalMashup]

I love watching these types of videos as I'm doing a project of compiling all sonic songs in the franchise in the highest quality i can get so yeah, heard em all in here, heh Great video!

[@crano8202]

A member of Magna-Fi said that they were contacted to write a song for Shadow The Hedgehog, and they wrote Who I Am, expecting that when they met up with Jun Senoue that he would record his parts for the song. Instead Jun Senoue wanted them to write a new song together, which was All Hail Shadow. They later re-recorded it for their own album. (The source of this info is a comment by the official Magna-Fi youtube channel on the video "Who I Am by Magna-Fi | Non-Album Version")

[@murphmariotwopointoh7714]

I'm going to bring up the Sonic the Hedgehog Boom album from 1994 here, which has some remixes from Sonic Spinball (some of which were actually played here) as well as modified versions of tracks from the US version of Sonic CD. Sonic Boom - Opening Theme in particular has an additional section that plays after the point the song would normally end, it's pretty good.

[@TheoNickz]

Thanks for the new video I always liked the shadow 05 unused songs nice to see them get more coverage

[@birdmanip]

10:19, well, there is "what I'm made of" from sonic heroes but it depends if you count that as just the final boss music or as metal's theme

[@kickslee2147]

I absolutely LOVE chaos jam! It’s so jazzy and definitely one of the songs I put on in the background for when I work/study

[@ZachTheInsomniac]

There's literally so much to love about it, one of my favorite Sonic songs. Real shame how underrated it is

[@fishactivation5087]

Those tracks from Shadow the Hedgehog sound badass.

[@curtainsandsuch]

Who I Am is honestly would've been an incredibly nice fit for the Devil Doom boss fight

[@ZachTheInsomniac]

@@curtainsandsuch honestly yea. The remix we got was good but it'd be a really cool deep cut to have that song

[@Ringtail]

I don't really understand still what happened with SoaDM but I think it would've been worth mentioning after that fell apart some of the members reformed into A2 and they made Chosen One, which was used in Shadow in place of Broken. Also Virtual Sonic was released in a collection of five Sega remix albums, the others being Comix Zone, X-men 2, Toejam and Earl, and Vectorman. Comix Zone is also by Drossin, and the Toejam album is really funky and jazzy, easily my favorite one.

[@Solscaderty]

Personally, I love who I am (magna fi) and seascape (Sega, knuckles' chaotix)

[@RednekGamurz]

Virtual Sonic isn't even the only Sonic album with some obscure remixes/original songs. There's also Sonic the Hedgehog Remix, which contains some original songs as well as remixes from Sonic CD. There's also Sonic the Hedgehog Arcade from 1996 that contains the infamous "They Call Me Sonic", but also contains some other, much more obscure tracks. Finally, while probably not as obscure as the prior ones, Sonic Gems Collection contains some original remixes of songs from games like Sonic CD, Sonic 3, Sonic R, and Sonic the Fighters.

[@thisisasupersayin376]

THEY PUT THE vibraslap IN THE toxic caves

[@Barakon]

2:19 these bands sound like they would have been better off making music for Rayman 3 instead. Or even music for RAYMAN 4 BABY! BOOGIE YEAH BABY RAYMAN’S BETTER! C’MON GET MADDER, MADDER, MADDER! Same thing with Magna-Fi, maybe they woulda still existed if they made this song for the purple wonder rather than the black blur. Okay to be fr; yeah these songs have textures I’d expect more from sonic cd or even the rayman franchise, a lot more funk & slot more acoustics than straight rock. Who I am can be shared between Raymesis & Shadow, too bad shit’s copyrighted.

[@mc.gemstone]

1:33 Wait so these 3 songs the whole time I been listening to the whole time were meant to be in Shadow the Hedgehog? Yes I listen to this kind of music I don't care if it's of it's time I do it because I like making imagery AMV's whenever I'm having a walk outside, we are not the same lmao. Also Virtual Sonic Album is goated it's one of my favourite underated Sonic Albums out there. Thank you for bringing up this album it's so good, Chaos Jam is such a banger!!

[@eightee7635]

YES I LOVE VIRTUAL SONIC!!!! Chaos Jam and City in the Sky especially, they go so hard ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@thunderbro7]

Some other tracks that are probably a little more well known than the Chaos Jam album, but still not something most people have heard are the tracks from the 1994 Sonic the Hedgehog - Remix Album, which was created by Sonic CD's Japanese soundtrack's composers, Naofumi Hataya and Masafumi Ogata, which is mostly comprised of remixes of Sonic CD tracks, although parts of the remixes seem to include music that was potentially from scrapped levels.

[@udgeyjudge4289]

I thought the riff at 6:14 sounded a bit like something from SRB2's old soundtrack, and I figured I was just imagining it, but when you got to the song that was directly referenced in SRB2, I thought maybe there's something there! I think what it reminded me of is this riff in the old version of Egg Rock Act 1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ2qnHacis2qf7s It's only two notes I realise it's probably nothing but it reminded me of SRB2 with no prompting so idk :P

[@Superminecraftsonic]

Says there is no Metal Sonic theme with lyrics, when What I'm Made Of exists.

[@ZachTheInsomniac]

Doesn’t really count, it’s not metal sonics theme, it’s the theme of everybody else: moreso team sonic. It’s from the perspective of them, not metal

[@DuskusCB]

Didn’t that Sonic Spinball remix play during the old Sonic balloon in the Macy’s Thanksgivings parade?

[@satiosnewaccount4606]

yes, yes it was. That music was used from 1993 - 1997.

[@ZachTheInsomniac]

@@satiosnewaccount4606 actually had no idea, that's sick

[@ms.magenta]

I like Who I Am much better than I Am All of Me as a final boss theme, especially against Black Doom. It's literally the perfect song for their fight.

[@squarethinkingdude]

Virtual sonic, the album that held a legendary intro... THE THEME OF SONIC ROBO FUCKING BLAST 2 Edit: another unheard album is sonic arcade, wich is also referenced on the first sonic robo blast

have you ever heard the demos for open your heart? one of them is sung by eizo sakamoto while the other is by kenichi tokoi with entirely different lyrics. theyre.... pretty rough, especially the latter, but they do give me a newfound appreciation for the final product as ive never been the biggest fan of open your heart

[@seganintendofan1]

Chaos Jam: to me sounds alot like weridly, the intro to Mater's Tall Tales on the Wii, I guess because country rock. KnucklesMania: Trible sounding theme, I can just picture the Echidna Tribe playing this (also it was trible style horn not a fallout siren) Metal Sonic: Sonic Ova vibes from this, etiher in Sonic's boom-box or flying in the tornado. Sonic Spinball: was played in the Macy's parade so it sound like somthing you play at a celebartion or something. City in the Sky: Meet me in bed LOL

[@Llucmenork]

Other obscure songs from Sonic Music: -A Sonic 2 unused song present in the Official Album -Sonic Adventure Remix Album: Full of dark syinth sounding remixes that I'mn ot a big fan of. -The Sonic asnd Knuckles official remastered album from 1994 that sounds wierd but still like it for the most part. -The Sega Club Albums remixes -The unusued track from the Sonic The Fighters OST "Sunset Town" -The Open Your Heart K-Club remix (So good) -Some other unused beta tracks/Remixes from Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog -Wortth a Chance (Original Version) And problably more I can't think of right now.

Goddamnit i already knew these D: I'd reccomend a few albums & osts if anyone is wanting more - Sonic 1994: a collection of drastic remixes and some original tracks of Sonic CD's Japanese soundtrack - Sonic 3 & Knuckles' Album: Not as known but still it features extended versions of the S3K soundtrack with some unused parts that rock - Sonic R: do i need to explain myself?? - There is a alternate intro for Sonic Mania, idk if its used in promotional material but its refered to as introtee (Tee Lopes??) - Again on Sonic Mania there is a pinch version of Egg Reverie that goes unused - While Shadow the Hedgehog was mentioned i don't think many people who haven't played the game tried out the soundtrack outside of the lyrical tracks, and for better or worse the cutscenes have unique music scores that are unfortunately cut short... - Daytona USA Deluxe (PC) made by the same people who made Sonic 3D Blast Saturn/Sonic R & some other composers. Bringing it up coz the original and this have some great songs
