This Animal Crossing Theme Yells At You To Go To Bed

[@CharlesCornellStudios]

GO TO BED.

[@kevbon957]

Play lingus

[@Elisio_]

It's 4 in the afternoon!!!

[@hipposcubes76]

Not yet >:3

[@bcsnowballgaming8190]

No. You go to bed.

[@fruitysoupy]

It's only 4:30 pm Charles 😭🙏🙏

[@maxevocal]

At 2am the band is wrapping up for the night, one last song. At 3am the musicians are starting to doze off, coming in late, playing lazily and sarcastically 😂

[@VaryaEQ]

5am is just beautiful though. 💜💜💜

[@HoneyPastry]

@@VaryaEQ Lol I hope so after a 2 hour nap

[@cooldebt]

The Consouls' Timeville album has lovely covers of 6am-12pm - I guess they go to bed early 😅

[@tkcom]

At 4am you get Taeko Ohnuki.

[@VanessaMagick]

i remember hearing a possibly apocryphal story about how a band was told to go on stage like 45 minutes after last call and go "hey thanks everyone for still being here, this next song is called half an hour of feedback" and they dropped their guitars and mics next to the amp until people fucked off

[@PatrickAnderson-vh7hv]

I always imagined this song to sort of reflect the feeling of being so sleepy your start feeling drunk.

[@LifesNeverHumDrum]

Absolutely. Sleep deprived inebriation for sure

[@sandgaijin]

That’s exactly my interpretation. You and the band in the soundtrack are all loopy and delirious trying to stay up and pull weeds.

[@burnished]

Same!

[@Lure-Light]

Yuuuup 100%

[@DoofenSpyroDragon16]

Yeah and you start feeling delirious and loopy, that’s also how I interpreted it.

[@pup64hcp]

the wah-wah trumpet literally sounds like a Peanuts character yelling at you to go to bed lol

[@shogun_assassinalice2829]

“Wah-Wah trumpet” is the new name for it now!😂😂

[@IvoryMadness.]

That makes total sense! 😂😂

[@eboone]

@@shogun_assassinalice2829 that's what it's called already

[@Vinceras]

@@shogun_assassinalice2829 That's actual jazz terminology. It's a Wah-wah mute.

[@mikebliss3153]

Trombone.

[@itsybutsy]

I also want to note that it sounds like, at certain points, the plunger-mute trombone player is jumping the gun on his cue and/or just straight up playing at the wrong time Almost like a way of saying "please go to bed, we can't until you do"

[@touch_me.]

now my headcanon is that isabelle & tom nook are the ones doing the music

[@lucasawesome2153]

so if you won’t play at the right time, neither will the trombone

[@NOWABO]

Yeah, there's the section where the chords really feel like they are winding down and resolving but the trombone comes in like "doesn't that sound nice? But you're still here so we can't end the song!!"

[@annafantasia]

@@NOWABO Yes!! I wish there was more discussion of these storytelling elements

[@sophs_corner]

@@lucasawesome2153HAHAHA

[@creapeys]

You forgot the original’s 2AM theme, where instead of yelling at you to go to bed, it’s yelling at your parents that you’re up late again.

[@sunla]

This was like some Beastie Boys jam, I used to stay up and sneakily play it just to hear that one sometimes. There wasn't much to at night in that game, though.

[@liraco_mx]

​@@sunla Except a ghost

[@SirrMojo]

My interpretation is more someone who is trying to stay awake but running on the last 1% battery

[@wireycoyote3544]

Your pfp is running on 1% battery 😂

[@SirrMojo]

@@wireycoyote3544 yeah it's pretty accurate to real life lol

[@RobertRays]

I have never related to something more than this right now lmao

[@TechniTiger]

I similarly always associated it with the silly, half working exhaustion of being up that late. Still very "what am I doing. Why am I here?"

[@benamisai-kham5892]

It always felt shameful to me, shaming me for being awake. Felt like a dunce cap gets placed on my head for 3am-4am

[@timeimp]

Ah yes, the "oh shit, I have to get up for work in 2 hours" music. Refreshing, very nice. Great video Charles - and thank you for covering AC:NH!

[@K4Cubing]

"nice video" 1 minute after a 16 minute video is released 💀

[@aintnoman]

​@@K4Cubing it's the same energy as that one friend who said "thats so funny lol" The minute after you give a 10 min video 😂

[@BetaVoltzDK]

I looooove how the trombone mocks you. Like, "We both know it's crazy late and you have to get up early. I'm not being silly, you're being silly" And the simplicity of playing with the AC theme, it really is a fantastic execution of exactly what it needs to be

[@jerpica.d6735]

I'm not being silly, you're being silly 😂

[@BlueKitkatDaredevil]

3:01 Oh my god! Okay, so, I teach in Japan, right? In Japan, almost every class starts and ends with students standing and bowing. But in music class, they usually play 3 chords on the piano for students to stand, bow forward, than raise their heads at each chord. I think the chords are C-G7-C? I don’t know piano, I usually just play C-G-C. Either way, in Japan, basically, that IS like the sound of “Class is done”!!! So maybe it was on purpose?!?

[@bertorrrr]

Yes, It's a 1-5-1. Very common ending, next to 2-5-1 and 4-5-1

[@SandkastenImSchuh]

Wow, this is hilarious!

[@XandiDanielle]

The end to the fun song

[@player17wastaken]

DO NOT play ANIMAL CROSSING at 3AM! (GONE WRONG) (SARCASTIC MUSIC PLAYED)

[@akaaru5581]

100th like my dude :)

[@LilDarkiesFanperson]

As someone with 600+ hours on ac, the 3am sarcasm is implanted in my brain

[@FizzyK-45]

A lot of people give Animal Crossing: New Horizons' hourly music flak because it doesn't have the same feel as the older Animal Crossing games, but personally, I love it, and I think it has its own charms, and the 3am theme is the perfect example of it. 😅

[@herschell64]

I agree, New Horizons is my first game and I still play it, my favourite track is the 5pm as it's such a banger

[@FizzyK-45]

​@@herschell64 Ah yes, the 5pm theme is another good one, it's so funky. ❤️

[@Will-wn1fz]

I didn’t realize this was a criticism. To me the music of ACNH feels so on brand with the franchise while being innovative and fun

[@AuriPlayzz]

I think they’re pretty good, just the leitmotif from the main theme appears a lot and it can get a little repetitive

[@FSAPOJake]

The music isn't bad. Most of it is just forgettable, especially in comparison to New Leaf, which has one of the greatest OSTs in any video game.

[@efoley27]

It's like the bass is asking, "Why. Aren't. You slee-ping?" with each note. Hah 😂

[@DeaFallTwoCount]

😂 I can hear it!! The three consecutive notes are “Go. To. BED 🤦🏾‍♂️”

[@THEYuYama]

and the muted trumpet begging " go toBED now!"

[@Saxdude26]

Yeah, I may or may not have made up lyrics while listening to it along those lines.

[@icuragoose]

Or “What… are… you doing?” “Go. To. Bed.”

[@birdwiththumbs]

The trombone wah-wah's sounding like the adults in Charlie Brown really ices the cake "Goooo to bed, kid!"

[@ryanjohnson4565]

So… icing cake is actually really hard. One time I almost hit the building while backing out (elephants can’t see good, and vacuum cleaners can’t see at all).

[@birdwiththumbs]

@@ryanjohnson4565 do you feel better now?

[@ryanjohnson4565]

@@birdwiththumbs approximately the same. How are you feeling

[@Amy_Dunn]

What makes it so much better is that it's also is a play on the main theme of the game, as well as fitting in the context of the other hours in the day. (except 4am, which is creepy, but that might be because of the Japanese unlucky number being 4)

[@derpkipper]

You mean New Leaf's 4am theme? I used to think it sounded creepy myself tbh but I think thats mainly because of Aika Village lol Personally I find NL 5am much more sinister sounding

[@ImGonnaBeAStarr11]

4am is also a ridiculous time to be awake, whether you woke up at that hour or stayed up late

[@MelonHere20]

I honestly have tuned out the theme in the background at this point because I always have to play at weird hours lol

[@weaselwiese]

Exactly. I think this was missing in the video. Every hourly song incorporates the main theme in various melodies. The underlying score however is always the main theme. And then they work around that and play with different nuances, vibes and moods.

[@xX_Berrie_Black_Xx]

414th like. =:3

[@DylanKSP-gq4io]

1:37 The trombone is also a bit sharp, possibly as a result of a tired player.

[@annafantasia]

YES!! It sounds tired!

[@TheBluestflamingos]

My favorite trick in this song is the way they start to play the leitmotif, only to interrupt it just when it starts getting good. It gives of the feeling that the ACNH theme is some perfunctory bit they're required to throw in, but the musician is being spiteful and using it to mock you. Like, the trumpet is litterally doing the "whomp whomp" sound.

[@AnneOmimus7531]

It's "Go the Fuck to Sleep" told musically 🤣

[@GourmetSubZee]

If Samuel L. Jackson swallowed a plunger mute trombone

[@DoofenSpyroDragon16]

That needs to be the background music for that story 😆

[@MetaTomato]

When I heard this for the first time i thought it was so funny. The previous ones are relaxing and sentimental and at 3 am the music just gets loopy because it knows you're staying up way too late lol And after that the music is relaxing until it gains energy at morningtime. I love how the songs reflect energy of the day

[@astralinfinity]

Animal Crossing has always done that, it will always have that track of "OH? YOU'RE STILL AWAKE??" and then it would follow up with "Now I need to make you sleepy."

[@trumpets101]

Animal Crossing, 2am: You are getting verrrrrry sleeeeepy! Shhhh. Close your eyes. Go to sleep. Animal Crossing, 3am: WTF! Why are you still up!? GO TO BED! Also, Charles having a conniption about the minimalistic nature of Animal Crossing music that's just a joke about the music yelling at you to go to bed is what I needed as a midday treat during work.

[@CatalogK9]

It’s also worth noting that if you’re watching TV in ACNH at 3am (or is it 3:33 specifically?) on a Saturday (again iirc), aliens interrupt the broadcast, so I figured it was something weird to reflect that witching hour vibe

[@Kaiwaii]

then for the 4 am theme, if you wake up at 4 am it feels like "Ah, such a peaceful and relaxing morning isn't it? Work is hours away, give yourself some time to relax, I'll make you some coffee." but when you've stayed up since 12 and have been up so long its already 4 it feels like "fine bro if youre not gonna sleep, might as well make yourself comfy ig"

[@rachelderkits-gelman921]

Had to look up the music director / composer: Kazumi Totaka. He’s been working for Nintendo since the 90s. Now need to listen for audio Easter egg “Totaka’s song”! 🤩

[@DrewD64]

@@TicTacToeCraftAnd it’s Totaka himself (with pitch shifting) singing it. Totaka is the voice of Yoshi.

3am music: "I can barely stay on key, I'm so tired. You aren't tired? You don't even know what you're doing with that shovel. GO TO BED so I can stop playing."

[@iljadonker]

A bummer that the note combination "B-E-D" wasn't used.

[@AshlynLeeThatsMe]

I've got a sleep disorder similar to insomnia, and the 3AM theme is my most hated song in this game. Yes game, I know you want me to go to bed. I can't. Stop yelling!!! I do appreciate it for what it is, and I think it's cool that it's getting some attention. But I also hate it.

[@statueofliberty1132]

Oh my God I had childhood insomnia and I remember getting scolded for playing video games all night and I was really ashamed and embarrassed but the only reason I did was because I knew there was no hope I would get back to sleep. I would be wide awake at 3 am an average of 3 nights a week and never tell anyone about my sleeping problem because I didn't want to get in trouble.

[@StvBnsn]

I’m surprised people didn’t like it, 3am was my favorite one, I used to work late and would get home around 1:30 and go to bed by 4 the 3am song was the one I liked the most lol.

[@AshlynLeeThatsMe]

@@StvBnsn I think it comes down to a matter of perspective. My late night sessions were often me still attempting to fall asleep. A repetitive task, soft music, screen brightness down until I could just barely see- And then 3AM starts blaring. Mocking me. Telling me I failed, and that there's no way I'm gonna be able to get to my appointments. Again. It's not so much the song's fault as it is the experiences I tie to it, ya know?

[@annafantasia]

The best music in the game. Total magic

[@pinkcupcake4717]

ACNH 5 AM was my song of the year for 2020. Rona messed up my sleep cycle so bad that I got to fully enjoy the dawn.

[@ActiveAdvocate1]

It's onomatopoeia for music, not words, and I am HERE for it. While I think New Horizons has an inferior soundtrack when contrasted to, say, the GC original, my all-time favourite hourly track does come from this game. 5AM. You know it, you love it, and if you don't, you haven't heard it. Go listen to it.

[@maryblanco4176]

I made a memorial for my brother (died in 2018) in the game, when I miss him I go to the northern beach at five am in the game and watch the sun rise. Just perfection.

[@davetraintrain]

The line at 2:45 is a motif that runs through lots of the themes! Also, one other interpretation I had is that the wonkiness of this late night theme might also reflect your villager's sleepy delerium!

[@mistysidorov189]

I remember cracking up when I first heard this song, because I work the night shift. I had to put down the game and rethink everything for a couple of moments. Even now my partner and I still mimick it when we're having a brain fart.

[@thomaskoskelin4853]

Sounds like a keeper lol, it's becoming a vocal stim for me when I feel tired.

[@rideronthedrumbeat]

The entire Animal Crossing soundtrack is a masterclass in jazz composition. The instrumentation is usually very scant, but they always do so much with so little.

[@aStick112]

That mute on the trombone is actually a harmon (wah-wah) mute!

[@Okami_gris]

I love literal names

[@kyubeyz_7062]

I always interpreted this song as describing the sort of cursed middle-ground between deep at night and early, early morning. It kind of perfectly encapsulates the idea of going out on a walk in a small neighborhood area where absolutely no one else would be outside at that time, and at this point of time you might as well stay up til sunrise. It’s an awkward time of night, and the faint hints of sunrise in-game help with that feeling as well.

[@briangruenewald7536]

3AM gives me Ferris Bueller vibes: “You’re still here? It’s over. Go home. … … Go home.”

[@forcedfeedbackclassicgamer5499]

"Sarcastic Insomnia" sounds like an unreleased Nirvana album... Also, watching you find so much of interest in or talking points about such a deceptively simple piece of video game music always makes me smile.

I once played Animal Crossing on my ds as a kid way past my bed time and the combination of being scared that your mom wakes up and catches me + the terrifying background music that played almost made me shit myself. Still love the game to this day

[@sufyanabbasi483]

I used to play the GCN soundtrack when I was feeling homesick in my first year of college (a decade ago), and I was so caught off guard by the glory of the 3am bass (since I never got to hear it as a kid). That bass is set so low that it started to shake the things off my shelf. Thanks for unlocking the tertiary nostalgia for me and the mystery of these themes!

[@ChuyPlays]

Hi there! Animal Crossing superfan here. I believe the original Animal Crossing late night track you were looking for was 2 AM. That's the one that's being very sassy at you.

1:00 Speaking of ticking clocks, would love to hear your opinion on stuff like "It's Pizza Time" (Pizza Tower) or "Outta My Way... It's Happy Hour" (Antonblast), or even the original inspiration "Hurry Up" (Wario Land 4)!

[@StonetheDestroyer42]

This might be the funniest example of Nintendo's design philosophy of making games that make you want to stop playing after a certain amount of time, so you go do something else with your day, too. (Usually, they just incorporate at least one annoying repeated mechanic that, once you reach it or use it, makes you want to put the game down for a bit. Sarcastic music is somehow a funnier version of that.)

[@djfinja]

also on a more meta level, you're hearing quotes from the main theme, both in copy-paste melody lines as well as chord progressions, but they're scattered and played as if someone is too tired to play the whole thing.

[@user-yw9mw9hv8o]

A musical joke but these composers just cant stop themselves from adding so much SOULFUL minimalist writing.

[@AetherCarvalho]

These kind of details are a direct callback to the older games, the 3AM theme from ACWW or even the rain theme from the same game are always evoking nostalgia and cosyness for me... having that in the more recent games too is so great

The Consouls' Timeville album has that cosy feel (they cover 6am to 12pm)

[@ryan_1314]

Trombomist here, I'm pretty sure the mute that's being used is a straight mute, or possible a harmon mute. Both can still make "wah wah" noises with either a hand or a plunger over the opening of the mute.

[@LosvikeN]

The 5am theme is the best theme in any Animal Crossing game.

[@riverbellthebaby3974]

0:32 sounds like it is saying go to bed here

[@zimohhh]

It's crazy how the literal FEELING this theme wants and succeeds to express is "Just go to bed already, you dummy" and it's universal. I laughed so hard the first time I heard it when I was playing late at night and it became a meme among my group of friends. Great breakdown video dude.

[@catk6575]

The 3am music actually wakes me up because it's so jarring and distracting and sounds like clown music. F 3am srsly, but your breakdown is interesting!

[@jacobhumphries1416]

This song is funny because it’s nice enough to evoke nostalgia for the rest of the soundtrack but silly enough to remind you that you should probably sleep so you can listen to the other parts of the soundtrack.

[@laerwen]

Ahh, such a good breakdown. This interpretation of 3 am is really fun even if mine wasn't the same. It always impressed upon me the idea of stumbling around the village sleepily when you SHOULD be in bed - so kinda similar notion? LOL

[@maikerugo]

3AM from the GC one feels like an after-hours, jazz club. While Wild World has sort of a late '90s/early 2000s, slower R&B feel-replace that clicky/snap/clap noise with claves and that's pretty much what you have.

[@ryanwayner2475]

I think the trombone is playing with a harmon mute with the stem in. You can get the same wah-wah as with a plunger mute and it matches the sounds in the song better than just a plunger mute.

[@Fh13_D]

there's no better explanation to 7 chords on KZbin I SWEAR. tysm!

[@BlueJeiVA]

I always hear it (don't judge me for staying up til 3am) as kinda drowzy, loopy, stumbling, with echoes of "lullaby chords" that echo the calm of the sleep it's telling you to get.

[@darkri491]

I love watching you dissect the melodies and seeing the relation to each chord and get excited about it. Every time you hit those 3rds and 7ths and smiled I smiled right with you. 😂

[@oras7745]

Huh, I never heard this one I think. At least I don't remember ever playing ACNH at 3AM. This analysis is really cool! It also kind of sounds like the music itself is tired and trying its best to be soothing to make you sleepy while occasionally yelling at you to go to bed because it's getting impatient. 😂

[@RightyRonaldo]

I've ALWAYS wanted someone with lots of music knowledge to go through Animal Crossings hourly tracks! Wonderful video!

[@vendel8007]

I always thought the trombone sounds like it's yawning

[@KindredSpiritASMR]

It's also especially funny because the music is just a bunch of segways that in a regular song would be the "end", it's literally telling "hey, let's wrap this up and sleep"

[@macaoron]

it's all this arrangement ON TOP OF the leitmotifs derived from the ACNH opening theme in itself that really shows how genius the soundtrack of this game is.

[@mayuwu4408]

WAIT that's so genius!! The moment you explained how it says everything it needs with just the 3rd and the 7th and then played it again, it clicked in my brain; this song is like your brain when you're staying up way too late. It's like the song is running on empty and doing the absolute bare minimum necessary (3rd and 7th, letting the melody play parts of the chord, etc) to do what it needs to do to keep going and dragging itself along (almost spitefully so), but it is _not_ pleased about it. The whole song just feels like it's saying "C'mon. _Really_ dude?" LMFAO- that's incredible, thank you for this!! (And I will go to bed when it's my bedtime and not long afterwards =w=)
