Thomas & Friends - The Diseasel

[@andysnoopy9137]

This has got to be Mike and Junior's most peppy theme ever.

I agree.

Yes

The Diseasel is one of my favorite episodes from the classic series, so this definitely brings a smile to my face. "Coughs and sneezels spread Diseasels!"

I didn't remember this one until I saw the clip of Bill and Ben running back and forth on either side of Boco, and was suddenly delighted.

[@nicholasrangel7099]

When I was a kid, me and my friends loved doing what bill and Ben did to boco, running back and forth making happy, smirking and shocked faces with my friends everytime we appeared. I really loved this piece.

[@weedsbian]

sheeeesh nearly burnt the strings off the banjo with that speed lol

[@user-cl8xh6bc9y]

Oh wow! I'm so excited about this already! The Diseasel was the first Thomas episode that I remember watching, and I can't wait to hear your take on such a great, memorable moment in the series. Thank you for continuing to do all that you do and for making all fans of Thomas smile from buffer to buffer😁

[@InstrumentManiac]

Hope you enjoy it KM!

[@Douglas57647]

"Coughs and sneezles spread diseasels!" I totally agree on this theme being catchy and annoying at the same time - I can simultaneously feel Bill and Ben's amusement coupled with BoCo's pain whenever I listen to it. I think this cover might be even more erratic than your rendition of the Turntable Theme XD As an aside, BoCo's shocked face always creeped me out when I was a kid - maybe because of the sudden close-up shot after the fast music? Anyway, that was certainly a very fun cover, and I look forward to seeing what else you have in store for this summer!

[@Leonardo-cw1dd]

i might have missed the premier i still love this song already. the diseasle is one of the best episodes with bill and ben i never fail to crack a smile with it. also love seeing boco wooden train there

[@OtterBoiMilo]

Wow! The evolution of when you first start doing these cover to now is astonishing! You've really progressed over the period of time, can't wait for more!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thanks Aidan!

[@ThomasAndRandomRobloxGames]

After a string of thomas music that pulls on your heartstrings or just really eases you into things, we have this. a peppy, exciting, upbeat, fast and catchy tune that follows *HENRY'S FOREST.* man you have range.

[@InstrumentManiac]

haha trying to keep y'all on your toes! Thanks roblox 😄

[@sandork7521]

Our four year old daughter requests your videos just as often as the actual Thomas episodes. She is like: "I don't know how he can play so many instruments." and "Bandwagon - hahaha - BAND-WAAGON hahahaha"

The diseasel was my ringtone for a while Nice recomposition Luke!

[@piercebricks3480]

I love how the percussion just gets more chaotic as each new instrument and the harmony builds. Fantastic reimagining XD

[@CloverEnby58]

In my mind, I was thinking, when this premieres, it's gonna be one hell of a bop! And you know what, I certainly wasn't disappointed! You absolutely nailed it! ^w^

[@aaronhill8315]

This was one of my favorite episodes of Thomas and friends.

[@TidmouthPilot]

I love this episode,the music recreation is amazing and i love the wooden boco,bill and ben in the backrounds of the shaker and tambourine

Can't wait for this one! I understand the 'annoying' aspect! I love and hate this theme. :) It's going to be so great to listen to. Keep up the amazing work!

I only love it

[@Thomas_Boom]

Such a nostalgic song for me, dunno why, always was one of my favorite Thomas songs when I was little

[@davidrenwickjunior]

WOW, frantic, manic, wild, mischievously relentless like the twins, and the Banjo Uke was just insane! Fast and furiously FUN! I'm grinning ear to ear, off to listen again. Well done Luke love it. Thanks for the smiles ;-) 😃

[@neikowilburn4078]

This one had a lot of giddy motion in it. Can't get enough of those twins. Another fantastic cover, Instrument maniac 👍👍

[@MrJoeyWheeler]

I love this. This is basically the opposite of the turntable theme for me - whereas with the turntable theme I felt the looping was too much with too short a ditty, turning it into noise, this one loops the theme repeatedly BUT the theme is longer and you add more variation as you go along, keeping it "fresh". Well done!

That was amazing. I've never thought you played The Diseasel song from Season 2 of Thomas and Friends. Reminds me of when I was playing Hide n Seek that I had no idea where to hide since when I was a kid. Thanks Luke Pickman.

Oh cool! I remember asking about this one. Excited for the premiere!

[@DavidScholz-bu1ix]

BRAVO, BRAVO!

[@Doctorwhoer]

Another great theme, but super excited you’re returning to Bigg City Port, can’t wait, lol!

[@biggallcaps]

I really love your style Luke, it's such a delicate and light version of this song. I can listen to this and immediately think of your arranging. The soprano sax carries the melody perfectly. Great job Luke!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thanks so much!

[@Sh0nX]

Certainly not annoying Luke, more silly but good sounding!

[@jerrylarch6556]

So awesome! Good on you for putting in the time to play all those instruments! has to be one of my faves!

[@theoldbean]

Oh it's always an exciting time of the fortnight when you bring out another theme! Always makes my day! The absolute right choice in instruments (Piccolo and Soprano Sax) to represent little mischevious tank engines. Once again, you capture the heart, essence and spirit of the piece and do something new, different and unexpected. I think that's why maybe it gets the nostalgia feels the most - it's not just a faithful reproduction, but the orchestration seems to replicate what my childhood memory seems to remember *feeling* 30+ years ago. Too pretentious a comment, perhaps, haha? Anyway, absolutely loved it. Super fun. Love to see more of these "incident" themes of my childhood (you've done Henry's Forest perfectly. Perhaps that Percy Crash variant from the "Fruitful Day" episode in Season 3) but honestly, whatever you produce I am a fan :)

[@InstrumentManiac]

Aww I really appreciate what you said here! It's exactly what I'm trying to do, capture the feeling we all remembered not necessarily the exact orchestration of it. Thanks for watching bean!

[@AaronHodson94]

Really good to see these unique themes from one-off episodes being covered, keeping the project fresh as you’ve already done so many characters! Great work Luke! 👏🎶

[@overlordkujo]

This is so cool! This was the exact track I had suggested, and you nailed a bunch of renditions, and takes on the tune. Huge thanks for tackling this awesome one-off track.

[@InstrumentManiac]

Ah thanks Ben!

[@chimebirdplayer3327]

Nicely done! This definitely gave me goosebumps as I knew it would. But, you didn't include the bit that plays when Boco says "Stop! You're making me giddy!"; overall though, you still did an excellent job on this song.

[@michaelh7175]

Even you DON'T take our cars w/o asking, but this diseasel did! Edward the Blue Engine: (sever tone) There's no cause to be rude! This locomotive's a metropolitan-vicars diesel-electric type 2 class 28 locomotive! Bill & Ben: (in unison) We're sorry, Mr...

[@mayohosko-]

Whenever I think of Bill and Ben being cheeky I think of this theme. I’d suggest doing the Thomas and the truck’s version of Thomas’s theme

[@tylertichoc7330]

Okay one, how much dedication must you have to make an entire theme that would only be used ONCE throughout the ENTIRE series never to be heard again. That's some serious dedication and pride in craftsmanship. And two. man alive those hilarious close ups and the facial expressions that would never be possible without plain static models like with stop motion and puppeteering in a modern day show. Like seriously, with all the technology that has come and gone and how advanced it evolves there're still so many things that will never be possible to achieve on anything other than tech and tools that are ironically and yet quite fittingly "Steam Age" at this point. So it's no wonder that so many people across multiple generations still hold shows like this so dear to their hearts.

[@vehicleandanimalcrossovers]

I always tear up hearing this theme. Henry is definitely my favourite character, outside of Edward and Percy. His theme, sadness, betrayed by his own failing body, his triumphant return to strength, wanting to go fast for the first time in his life. I cry always at this. I love this theme.

"Truck Stealer!" Hissed Ben... Great take on the Diseasal theme. =) Looking forward to see your project involving Tugs, my other favourite show of the 80s. If I may ask (you don't have to answer), have you considered the Island Song? Maybe you could collaborate with many other talented musicians to commemorate your 100th Thomas song? For me personally, this song is very special. For many reasons I never liked music when I was young but this very song captured my attention and interest in music. =) Keep up the amazing work, have a great day and week.^^/

You sure have a lot of work to do with these themes, keep up the good work! PD: Would you do any of the Thomas and Friends sing-along songs? Like having one person to sing the songs there? Update: I forgot how annoying this theme was, yet it was very funny to hear while BoCo was being trolled by the twins. Frankly, one of the best episodes in the TTTE history.

[@DavidScholz-bu1ix]

1:40 I personally just suddenly have seriously gotta agree that this certainly has gotta be the original composers' most peppiest theme yet; which certainly would basically lead to me constantly thinking that British Railways' creation of BoCo the metropolitan-vicars diesel-electric type 2 class 28 locomotive himself certainly would basically be very shockingly impressed with the cover of this theme for his own official complete 2nd season introduction when 2 cheeky saddle-tank engines from the Sodor China Clay Company known much all too well as Bill & Ben who'd also apparently been introduced in the show's own official complete 2nd season! By the way, it's basically quite clear that it's basically no shockingly surprisingly obvious fact that BoCo gets his own official name from his own official wheel configuration that's actually a specific Co-bo wheel configuration: only it's said the other way around: thus that's basically how BoCo got his name!

[@DavidScholz-bu1ix]

In fact, that's basically what I personally just suddenly learned from watching several other KZbin videos multiple times recently!

[@DavidScholz-bu1ix]

I seriously gotta personally just suddenly say that you certainly SHOULD get a chance to happily know that I personally just suddenly came up with the officially well-knowingly clever idea of completely building a specifically wonderfully great new generation of the well-known metropolitan-vicars diesel-electric type 2 class 28 locomotives from scratch with several modifications that officially include automatic knuckle coupling devices on each end alongside a bell that'll be rung @ grade crossings as well as officially stations alongside in official rail yards! They'll especially be very shockingly surprisingly specifically wonderfully officially giving their own official B R logo with the exception of CSX on each side of the logo from the year of precisely 1956 UNTIL a new logo came into the spotlight instead of the well-known words of British Railways SINCE it's basically quite clear to me that they'll specifically with no complete doubt whatsoever very shockingly surprisingly officially well-knowingly be working wonderfully for the well-known CSX railroad company! Plus, you'll be very shockingly surprisingly pleased to happily know that I personally just suddenly came up with the officially well-knowingly clever idea of completely fitting each of 'em with the officially well-known EMD V-16 645E(2 cycle) type of diesel motor instead of the well-known for bein' very problematically faulty crossley diesel motors that officially still produce 12OOhp without constantly breaking down from time to time to time to time to time to time to time: well, ya know exactly what I seriously mean to say in specific detail!
