TUNE INTO THE MADNESS | Little Nightmares 2 Rap feat. Dan Bull!

[@TheStupendium]

Make sure you check out Dan's upload! It's basically the same but please make the algorithm like us both! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qn-Xq5Wlo6ufg9U LYRICS: AD BREAK 1 Good evening, do you know any good monsters? Did you ever swerve your car at today’s top speed of 35 miles per hour into an automobile Do you ever do the dishes for your wife? - I should say not! Mrs. Carter doesn’t really mind washing her teflon-coated pans New, vital and fashionable! Fond of children? Well it’s only natural! Yes, you can’t get away from it! There are branches everywhere! And it’s safe? Yes, sir! VERSE 1 Deep down down, between the trees Nestled in the leaves gleams a TV screen near a small lad sitting in the tall grass It’s an odd transmission to be broadcast Listen as we talk dark thoughts and soar past the watershed line before your bedtime You’ll panic like a rabbit that is caught in headlights Reckon we’re manic? of course you’re dead right You better exercise more caution next time Or you’ll end up in tomorrow morning’s headlines Obituary nothing more than “born and then died” And not a single family member or a friend cried CHORUS 1 Tune into the madness Tune into the madness once more Tune into the madness Tune into the madness, encore! AD BREAK 2 This remarkable offer, the first and only one of its kind Delicious, nutritious breakfast cereals shot from guns! Yes, sir! You could buy eight additional teaspoons! VERSE 2 Oh look who's come for tea Are you sitting comfortably? All of the children better sit still then ‘Cause when little kiddies fidget then I kill them Class is now in session - time you learned your lesson Stare into the glare until your mind is effervescent Bubbling the troubling you'll find it less depressing Open up your eyes, you'll be surprised what you might let in The violent and the tragic - hiding in the static This silent enigmatic child had better pack it In - And leave the schedule to the grown ups Revel in the pestilence Auntie Beeb throws up AD BREAK 3 As a result of long continuing results in commercial explosives- Pepsodent’s new, improved formula cleans teeth whiter than ever! Mh, it certainly does! Tune into the madness Pictures handpicked to be sickening, queasy Tune into the madness Transfixed and bewitched by the flickering TV VERSE 3 Hold up, don’t touch that dial Look at our isle of muck and bile With a saviour clad in a paper bag That must be one ugly child Gaze into the space between the pixels on the screen There you’ll see a place between the signal and the screams Feel the oscillation of the crystal in your dreams Just switch off your brain and let it sizzle in the beams These scenes some viewers may find disturbing Violent and unnerving. Frighteningly alluring. Slightly stomach churning. Why would you be turning Over? Oh so many programs for discerning Viewers who are just like you Eyes locked to the box for the schlock like glue Shambling in their droves, scrambling their lobes Get mangled in the strobe ‘til you’re cross eyed too AD BREAK 4 Here’s a message to millions of people who are continually pale and washed out, weak and run down. All I do is bring you pounds and pounds of baby food Good lean butcher’s steak - very satisfying cake Impress this fact upon mother Boys and girls have overactive oil glands Don’t say it like that! You’ll make her sound ungainly! CHORUS 3 Tune into the madness Tubes swimming with miasmic blackness Tune into the madness Sit glued to your viewing apparatus VERSE 4 Izzy wizzy let’s get busy! Such a pity diddy kiddies threw a tizzy Don’t be silly, what’s the trouble, little Timmy? Itty bitty nippers should be giddy for the TV Strange lights are disguised in the bright glare Day time television’s hellish in the right mind Set, Too much time staring’ll make your eyes square Any more, you’ll end up like that child there... Can’t toggle off the gogglebox so pop another bottle top Top up your cup and sup the propaganda, prost, mazel tov They say it’s challenging to break a daily habit Pacified into paralysis: a state of telly addicts Maybe one day the cathode rays will be chromatic Bringing colour to the pallor of the faces in the static Taking off the mask, my behaviour is erratic Claiming to be sane but I’m just asymptomatic Wait, did you hear that? someone’s pacing in the attic What in the blazes could be making such a racket? Oooh, I say, you gave me a fright there I think I’m having another little nightmare CHORUS 4 Tune into the madness Urchins channel surfing and subservient to the sadness Zoom in with the cameras Squirming as the sermon’s stirred into your hippocampus AD BREAK 5 Cream. Not a soap, not a liquid, but a dainty cream. It covers everything easily and beautifully And what an eyeful they’re going to get! Mhh! Mh-hm-hm. VERSE 5 Feast your eyes til you’re anaesthetised Lead a peaceful life for the cheapest price No need to seek advice or plea to Jesus Christ In the deep of night you’ll really see the light No one observes just how ominous the world is when monotonous Channelling the brightest minds until they turn witless and ponderous Their alertness is interred in this infernalest sarcophagus The absurd and the preposterous burned in by the phosphorus uncertain what lurks under the surface of your consciousness? Observe it and you’ll learn that it’s perturbing, sick and monstrous keep surfing through diversions: Uma Therman’s new detergent Normal service will return after a word from our sponsors AD BREAK 6 Ladies, what’s your problem? Gracious! I’ve nothing for the Johnson’s yet! Keep calm, folks! Buy the gifts that will look more expensive than they are! 200 different formulations of dynamite, so powerful that it’ll kill a rat Press this secret button right here and an authentic western pistol pops out and fires! CHORUS 5 Tune into the madness A bountiful lineup of schooling and comedy! Huge wins at the Baftas Bound to be prizes when you’re every nominee... Tune into the madness Tune into the madness once more Tune into the madness Tune into the madness, encore! AD BREAK 6 No guest is ever truly happy without the right kind of tea Well don’t keep staring at it. Taste it! Getting high on life could be habit forming You just can’t grow up fast enough can you?

I really enjoy how this starts pretty overtly as an LN2 thing, referring blatantly, to the opening scene, but the longer it goes on the further it strays from the game's plot proper and the more it goes off into its own wild, deranged, super creative territory

[@theemries4766]

I love how Stupes makes songs not just about the main plot of the game, but what is happening in the world of the games. His songs like "Fine Print", "The House Always Wins", and of course "Tune Into the Madness" are a lot more focused on the world in which the game takes place. Sorry for the rant, just thought it was cool how Stupes does that, and I feel it makes him very unique in that sense.

[@TheStupendium]

I think the themes of the games are often more interesting to explore and also more approachable for people not familiar with the games! :)

[@jolan_tru]

The Fine Print is my 3 year old daughter's favourite song. The work Dan and (in particular) Stupes puts into every element of their work is astounding. Dan Bull is great at it, but Stupendium takes it to another level.

Wait a minute you quoted it wrong. The actual line is “claiming to be sane but I’m just asymptomatic.” That makes a lot more sense in the context of the song as he very much shows he is insane. However, he wants people to think of him as sane, but the only way for him to justify that is to say he is asymptomatic.

I now have the urge to make a dining table. Starting with a shipping skid, placed upside down in a mold, then filling the gaps with straw and sealing it in resin. The legs would be made of pottery shaping tools epoxied together. Might even throw on some artists board placemats with tongue-shaped coasters. That covers the three definitions (make-shift mattress, skid, clay shaper) of pallet, while also throwing in palettes and palates for some contentiousness. It'd be called "The Palatable Pallet Table".

[@iamfokus]

Sick word play lol

[@robloxcool88]

This is easily the most unusual song I've seen from the Stupendium - in a *very good way.* The chorus repeats itself twice as often as an average Stupendium song, with much shorter verses in between. This... for lack of a better term, "monotonous" structure fits the character of the Thin Man's Viewers perfectly. In addition, while this channel has never shied away from making things disturbing before, that's rarely the focal point. However, this is perhaps the most actually *disturbing* song and video I've seen on this channel - it's genuinely creepy as fuck, and doesn't actually stop being such at any point.

[@BerzerkVideos]

At 1:19 I love the use of the TV screen to show a child hit the camera right on the beat, and emphasized more by how Dan says "Kill". Amazing work through-out this entire project, you two! I can't wait to see more from you!

You know what this reminds me of? Frontier Psychiatrist by The Avalanches! The usage of snippets from strange old television (Or, at least, what seems like old television), The way it switches who's talking, The similar melody, The themes of madness from a (somewhat) medical perspective (Examples: "Reckon we're manic? Of course, you're dead right." "Claiming to be sane, but I'm just asymptomatic." And the chorus [+ half of the lyrics] from FP), The adult dressed as a child, The golden curtains is specific scenes, And even the general vibe! And, even though having a surprising amount of similarities they still manage to be completely unique! (This is all meant as a compliment, as I see both as amazing songs that pull of a vibe that's really hard to correctly achieve)

[@NOVA_2056]

Never thought my favorite Little Nightmares song would get a sequel, this is the best

[@Finzombie]

My favorite part may be the sewn together fragments of what I assume are real tv ads from the 30s to 50s. As a Little Nightmares fan I can affirm that this fits the LN2 atmosphere PERFECTLY despite mentioning only one named character once. This is the perspective offered by the viewers trapped within the Signal Tower 's thrall and it couldn't be better. My new head-Canon is that the broadcast is just a loop of "Cream. Not a soap, not a liquid, but a dainty cream that covers everything easily and beautifully." This is my new 2nd favorite Stupendiu song next to Art of Darkness. (Yeah I'm an indie horror game fan. Don't judge.)

I believe one of the biggest things that these two have so much in common is their uncanny ability to mix in some of the most absurd, weird or downright hilarious of accents. There's just something oddly satisfying about the way their voices sound, the way the lyrics add to these accents. I don't know, there's just something odd and funny about all the different ways they're able to speak or pronounce the lyrics.

I've struggled with pretty much the same thing, being addicted to screens too. It's refreshing to hear a song with not only a good beat, but a good message.

I am certain there is nothing you can do. :) The fact that both you and Dan were able to so clearly pronounce difficult phrases with crispness and so much glorious vocal fluctuation is just- Ugh. I cannot get over *The Stupendium.* Greg, I aspire every day to be like you, and look forward to the moment I can earn your time. On an off note, have you ever considered being a voice actor / audiobook narrator? If so, there is a very ambitious project awaiting you! In my opinion, nobody could do it better. Thank you for being genuine and fascinating, and for sharing your stupendously brilliant mind with all of us.

Its for one good for setting up a mood for the game.

I saw this more with Fine Print, but found similarity with this and never said it before so yeah!

95% of the time these songs have to be written before the game releases, so we have to pick a theme/element from the marketing, extrapolate and research to fill the gaps! We didn't know the story so we chose to write a song as a nightmare inspired by the themes in the trailers. :)
