this track is kinda underrated when you think about it

yes it is

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF SPADES SLICK!] Well, i walk, stab and walk AND WHAT ELS-*stab* BLUH!

I've listened to this so much the last few days. I was trying to tire myself of it, but it hasn't happened yet.

Hey man just reminding you this exists

[@woodfur00]

@@rzh3518 It's appreciated. Still slaps

[@VromNath]

I am surprised no one has made a Walk Smash Walk animation with Jack stabbing to this tune yet! I mean, seriously!

[@Recoherent]

There are a lot of later songs based on the individual parts of this: Skaian Shrapnel and Another Chance from One Year Older, Calamity from Vol. 8, and then WSW-Beatdown from Vol. 7. I might be missing something, but those are the few I can think of.

[@gentlestress]

Aha! Found it myself. For anyone curious, I think I was right on the Remix & Extension part. It was originally a short bonus track in Alterniabound, which used more chip instruments and was maybe 1:30 long.

[@XSunpawX]

i was curious actually

[@めなみさいms]

Oh man, these old albums give off so much nostalgia :(

[@LatchinOn]

1:49 Leaving this for myself dw

[@xxcl8634]

The part that comes in at 0:50 sounds quite similar with the Problem Sleuth title screen song. Huh.

This song scares me. I've still never listened to the whole thing. It just... Scares me. Not in that 'eww wtf is this this is stupid ewww' scare but the actual 'holy fuck don't hurt me' scare. That's how powerful this music is.

[@Scoutette]

When I listen to this song, i imagine that one part in S: Make her pay where Karkat and Jack are going around Sburb and killing stuff, but extended. Like a whole animation of Jack and Karkat fighting monsters and grinding for grist

Walk **stab** walk **stab** walk **stab** walk **stab** [×1000]

[@xXMr1337Xx]

Sounds like Another Chance. It was a bonus track in the One Year Older Album.

[@logicGatekeeper]

Remember, Skaian Shrapnel Is In Here Too

[@whitecatthefirst6437]

another chance is based on this song, as bandcamp says.

[@BUGFlower413]

_"Sounds like [Track name]"_ pretty much summarize most of Homestuck music with the amount of callbacks, leitmotifs and references honestly. That's kinda magical

[@jacknoir9346]

Is this dedicated to me?

[@RamonNoodlesCrackers]

Maybe but it is on Spades Slick's wikia hes an alternate you (replies to 3 year old comment)

[@catalystcatastrophe6328]

Wow, I read every comment and not a single mention of underswap, I’m impressed

[@average_frog_enjoyer]

I can just imagine Jack dancing to this song Idk what to feel about it

[@XylitoI]

When I heard this in [S] Past Karkat: Wake Up, I didn't think of it as anything special, but I looooove the album version. It might have just become my favourite song on vol. 6 :o

[@cupkaesnake]

At first I thought it said weeb stalk

[@lilysaintclaire4716]

Gamzee took this song from Jack. Jack wanted it back. Jack is dead now.

[@mouthwide0pen]

To be honest, gamzee is fucking scary. He managed to scare the trolls final boss shitless with one attack and the only other person who did maybe as much (hard to tell as it was what killed him) was Vriska, whos really strong with a good roll.

[@bendrowned6711]

Very disappointing.

[@s4turnn524]

no im not

[@s4turnn524]

because my name is jack im hilarious i know

[@Chameleonred5]

I'm reminded of Cave Story.

[@Roxm4n]

@Jitmakesstuff Thanks, I went back and listened to can't beat airman and noticed it sounded pretty similar. I just couldn't figure out whether it was an outside reference or a motif that appeared in another homestuck song. It'd be a fitting reference though (Jack can't kill 'Heir'man, ohoho).

[@incineration-henry4560]

Hey Jit! I love this song. Reminds me of an arcade game, strangely

[@mochalatte2965]

Walk Stab Walk Beatdown is AMAZING. (it's actually called WSW Beatdown)

[@HAYITSMADIE]

the part that starts at 2:14 sounds so familiar! :I and i hope its not just me thinking ive hear it from somewhere

[@SJGster]

Calamity on Volume 8?

[@shurikenkat]

nearly sounds like it could be a track from Cave Story at 0:48

[@shurikenkat]

This is me from a year later. 1:13 even moreso.

[@Moss_Dude]

So is this a remix of walk *smash* walk? It at least has the same beat as it.

[@robertlupa8273]

I've heard it for the first time on Soundcloud, where someone named Luna made a remix and branded it as an Underswap Megalovania (or at least a theme from Underswap). Needless to say, that remix is AWESOME.

[@robertlupa8273]

Here it is: soundcloud.com/lunaeraaa/underswap-walk-stab-walk

[@BluFactory816]

@@robertlupa8273 good remix tbh

[@SomeanimeOwO]

Just as I posted my comment, I just realized Calamity came AFTER WSW, so.. Wait, does that mean Gamzee's theme is from Jack's?

[@faeriemayden3080]

This theme reminds me too much of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, hehe.

[@rustroomofdoom]

oh wow this is actually an upload from Jit himself!!!!!

[@jrewb7003]

This is slightly a recreation of Walk Smash Walk.

[@guavacado9559]

And Dance Stab Dance...

[@ColdplayMulti]

+哭哭（Chai-chan） Really late reply, but Dance Stab Dance was a fan song made to remix this song.

[@Hairphones]

the part everyone is talking about on 2:13 and onwards is from Calamity

[@jumbojoshonmolly]

more like that segment came from this song u clod

[@bomes2084]

Likes: Senseless Stabbing

[@sammywa]

It's obviously not intentional but on hearing that bit I can't help but think of the Aggrieve portion of 3 In The Morning (Pianokind) if that helps.

[@EmoSkittleTV]

I think the 8-bit part should have it's own separate song

[@gauchegoose]

this track, especially the first minute, would fit perfect in the original DOOM

[@Roxm4n]

1:50 This part of the song sounds very familiar. I know I've heard it before somewhere. Does anyone know another song where this theme plays?

[@Itsmeswapswap]

Underswap?

I think that part greatly resembles some music from the game Megaman Battle Network

[@neb-123]

...Is that darude sandstorm in the background at 1:49?

[@kc_9970]

The song sounds like the first few seconds of Suck your Blood from Kill la Kill.

[@noodlezbunny]

I am 90% sure they used Madotsuki's walking sound from Yume Nikki.

[@Jitmakesstuff]

I've never even beaten that game anyway it's some digital drum from sampletank so, unfortunately not

[@SomeanimeOwO]

Sooooo... Why is a tidbit of Gamzee's theme in this? VILLAIN'S MEDLEY!

[@geoduck23]

@HAYITSMADIE I think it was also used in Calamity from Volume 8?

[@BamsyTheSergal]

undertale au artists be like: ah yes, make this but papyrus

[@gentlestress]

What does the "(R&E)" stand for? My first guess is "Remix & Extension," but despite the motifs from other songs (which Homestuck music does a lot in the first place), it doesn't seem to have a shorter version anywhere. Was an earlier-in-production snippet of this perhaps used in some Flash?

[@zarthyame]

did you find out son
