Writing the theme song for our FAVORITE creators @Rhett&Link

Rhett and Link asked us to revamp their theme song for Good Mythical Morning. It was only seven seconds of music and video, but it took a VILLAGE.

[@Pomplamoose]

It’s still amazing to me how much work went into SEVEN SECONDS of music and video. We’ve worked with Rhett and Link before. We’ve been on the show and seen how it works. But the team they’ve assembled still amazes me.

[@jcspider7259]

13:29 Whoa... 7 versions, 4 feedback rounds, 172 hours of recording & mixing, 142 layers of audio, 69 emails, ALL FOR 7 SECONDS OF MUSIC! Couldn't have been for a better reason. Thank you!!!

[@GoodMythicalMorning]

Our team amazes us too, as do the two of you! Thanks so much for updating your contribution to Good Mythical Lore with this new theme. Wouldn't have had it any other way and we love it! -R&L

[@DTH_MT]

Genius work once again!🔥

[@jolbags]

​@@GoodMythicalMorning Maybe you guys should commission Pomplamoose to give their take on the 'Ambient Massage Song' :D

[@Bound4Earth]

I love it when you guys do behind the scenes work here and on Scary Pockets. The "We turned “Beautiful People” into a musical" and "How We Arrange & Record Songs: Black Hole Sun" are my favorite videos you have made on both channels. They show how a simple five minute video take hours to create with so much back and forth before anyone meets up in person.

[@winslow8779]

I love seeing Chase in his producer element; we so often see him doing the crazy stuff in front of the camera, but love seeing how professional and good he is at his job.

[@winslow8779]

And of course seeing Jack's creative process behind the music, looooove it

[@pdodwell1575]

What a chameleon he is. So silly on set, but so smoothly and confidently professional behind the scenes. 👍👍👍

[@pdodwell1575]

Thanks PPM team for sharing this video. Great fun!

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

It reminds me that not only are Rhett, Link, and Stevie pretty much just talent for the GMM machine part-time, while their full time job is a lot more involved and professional, but Chase is like that as well.

[@landonlasater2692]

Seeing Chase rise over the years from a PA to someone in charge of something as integral as the theme song is awesome to see! Almost as great as when he broke an apple with his bare hands

[@videhbhaav]

*enter that specific ahh

[@doddleoddle]

SO LUSH loved seeing the whole damn process Also you 4 together makes me ! Shriek

[@aviramspies]

The fact that you are part of this cinematic YT universe makes me shriek !

[@codymarrott5720]

I literally love you so much Lmfaoo

[@dougthedev9641]

I honestly thought the new intro was cgi, im shocked they did that so amazingly with practical effects.. outstanding job to both teams!

[@Emily_Charter]

This was incredible! I never knew that Pomplamoose did the GMM intro. I've been watching both channels for over a decade. Really enjoyable stuff.

[@elliefantyellow]

Ditto

[@LouiseLillith]

Same!! Im a bit mindblown! :O

[@CaseyBlackvidz]

Same! Worlds colliding!

[@meenaz1934]

Then how did you not know!? Go back....you've missed some great content 😘

[@jmeind]

Sameeee, imagine my excitement. Amazing results too

[@ericaislostinthemusic2937]

WOW. I mean, there IS NO “half ass” when it comes to ANYTHING Mythical. It’s just not possible. (Side bar: I LOVED that second version y’all played for us!) Gosh, this was incredible. Thank you!! 🥰

[@widelecprawdy]

The second one was so good! I wish it was in the intro :p

[@mekan0001]

Man, the amount of detail that went into the miniatures for 7 seconds of video is unreal. No wonder Rhett and Link have had such longevity as the attention to detail is astounding. Oh, and the song is awesome too ;p.

[@mias567]

Wow. Can't believe there's so much work in an intro 😅 really nice to see the process, makes me value it all in a different way

[@TheMrCC21]

Not everything comes together easily. Some things happen over a period of time. Some of the most iconic themes have taken lots of time to create while some just happened. It's like when filming videos for KZbin. The end result you see take lots of time and takes to get down right. Rhett & Link don't just do things in one take. It doesn't just happen like that.

[@fireant202]

Especially for the visual elements. You can barely register some of those details they were talking about, like the little people in the scenes.

[@ManCub583]

I had no clue how much work was put into just the theme song/video. And it’s literally like a whole movie set in front of the desk that you don’t even know about.This is amazing!! I already had a lot of respect for Rhett and Link (love watching them), but man…I’m on a whole other level of respect not just for them, but everyone else that puts in so much work to make their channel happen!

[@CovetousCommoner]

As a music producer, 142 layers of audio is just insane to think about for only 7 seconds. That probably doesn't include all of your automations, mixing, and mastering inside of ableton. Props!

[@katyferrell2953]

i never would have been able to fully appreciate the new intro without this. absolutely amazing! great job pomplamoose and mythical crew!

[@tmcpadilla]

13:05 Didnt expect this to make me tear up esp when they played the final version at the end during the show. Rhett, Link and the Mythical team are beyond awesome!

[@DobraEspacial]

That's awesome! It's so cool when you show the behind the scenes of these types of projects!

[@jeremyfuster7570]

It's fun seeing Chase in his actual job as a producer and not a sexy cartographer.

[@renzorg]

THIS WAS THE BEST INTRO AND THEME OF THE SHOW SO FAR. This behind-the-scenes video was so crazy. Congratulations to ya'll and the entire Mythical team. What a way to celebrate a decade.

[@arothmanmusic]

I don’t think most people realize just how much time and effort goes into tiny little productions like this all the time.

[@juanpallautapulido200]

A focused team; a lot of hard work, creative people, a shared vision. Thanks for showing how true magic is created.

[@colleenmarie1689]

I don’t know why but seeing the crew clap after brought tears to my eyes. ❤️

[@davidnoahperkins]

Every bit of the creation of the ten year intro, every individual involved every clip, every moment, it all just fills me with a pride to be a minuscule part of a bigger thing that has done so much good to do many people’ lives that it kind of swells me with a happiness that almost makes me tear up

[@Fedbo]

Congrats pomplamoose on this! I loved seeing the process of the sketching different versions and revisioning :) I do some work on fiver as a guitarist/composer and I can definitely relate to some of that endless tweaking before getting to the final take where everyone's super happy :)

[@SuperMustache555]

Wow, I never even realized you wrote that iconic theme song or that you guys met at Playlist Live... you learn something new every day!

[@Blullaby]

Pomplamythical is a grandiose word. I didn't know we needed it, but now that it's in the world it should never be forgotten ❤️ ! I've loved you guys way before I became a mythical beast, so back in the day when I saw your name in the credits I was really pumped and I was super proud you got chosen to fulfill this mythical purpose (': but who better than you?? And a few weeks ago hearing the mythical crew shout you out was a treat (': ! As always, your work is fantastic ! Thank you for many years of musical bliss (: ! Warmth and love to you two lovebirds 🔆

[@eulavmaballs246]

Good Moosetical Morning!! The collab I dreamt about but never thought would happen.

[@trigonometrisk]

It happened already in 2014 though?

[@beth1814]

It’s already happened back in 2014?

[@eulavmaballs246]

It happened 2014 already though back?

[@landocafe]

I love watching how much creative energy that goes into this short intro.

[@boiled4safety598]

That was amazing! Holy shit I didn't even realize the intro shot was practical coulda sworn it was like amazing 3D work. The song fits it so well, happy to hear it every morning!

[@JustaMuteCat]

I haven’t watched GMM in ages but back then when the music changed from the library one to Pomplamoose’s was the time that GMM finally clicked to me. It also felt back then that “from that moment on” the spirit of the whole thing changed.

[@DanLoFat]

Another fun point here this the way you shot this and that it's by yourself gives it a Matt Damon on Mars feeling.

[@misshannahanastasia]

I'm a newer fan to GMM, and knowing that you did the intro song will make me appreciate it all the more now!

[@Jazzywazzywoo_]

I cried at the end. (pride and happy tears)!! I love how much of a fan you are and you can see that through how invested you've been. frickin love the mythical beasts

[@jrbship]

Love this behind the scenes look at the Pomplamythicality!

[@SugarcatPlays]

This is surreal. I knew Jack contes work before I discovered Gmm years and years ago

[@neilbarnwell]

I love how that original had a "Pomplamoose" chord (or maybe it's a chord progression?) in it. I'm not good enough to say which beats it's in, but it's at 2:14- 2:15 when it goes a different way than your brain is expecting. Love it. I know they take too long to make, and I love "modern" Pomplamoose, but I do love those old videos with the awesome lo-fi miniature sets with projections and things. That's what got me into everything that's followed.

[@Kirarak]

I noticed it too! It's just a bass line, but you're right. It sounds so Pomplamoosy :D

[@zakkloves]

The whole thing is so unbelievable. I've been watching GMM since season 2, and I've only started listening to you guys last year. I didn't know you worked on the version of the intro I love. I feel part of like a giant single space and I love it.

[@alexbrass8870]

"Plucked a bunch of shit" Is by far the best quote of 2022.

[@gold94chica]

Wow, I had no clue this much effort went into the intro, thanks for sharing so it can be fully appreciated!

[@pianobooks42]

Love this! The newest intro is definitely my fav so far. It feels like a throwback in all the best ways while still being unique and modern. You all did amazing!

[@thecrazycellist]

Heck yeah! I thought the new intro of GMM was extra awesome, then YT suggested this video and I was like, "Yep, that makes sense!" I was a Pomplamoose fan before GMM and always thought it was super cool that you wrote their original theme song. New iteration is fantastic!

[@derrynkai]

SO COOL!! the process of making things for tv/shows really amaze me and seeing just how much work goes into it gives me goosebumps. the hardwork and craftsmanship that went into the 7 seconds certainly does not not go unnoticed! 💖

[@SuperPatWorld]

Two of the greatest creative forces on the internet coming together is such a beautiful thing, love to see more Mythical collabs!

[@Jula483]

AMAZING job! It was so fun to see the whole process! And I can't wait to hear this little song every single day as I watch GMM 🥰

[@carissab2212]

Love this so much and the way your creative musical minds work!

[@gregkolanowski]

So cool. The complete definition of professionalism! Everyone put so much effort into every little detail, and the results show it. Thanks so much for sharing the whole process. Major thumbs up!

[@2buxaslice]

I remember reading the comments on the first episode of the new season and everyone was talking about how much they loved it. Great job guys!

[@amandab6566]

Absolutely incredible! I love the thought process. & the mythical team making scenery with duel meanings 🤯 You all went above & beyond with creativity.

[@atokenbeast3927]

9:12 That is 100% the main part to a RHCP songs, sounds really cool.

[@songokuboy10]

Yeah that's can't stop

[@JennaEmbers]

This is by far the most memorable intro to date. It is completely burned into my brain, both the visuals and the song. Absolutely captivating from beginning to end, it IS Good Mythical Morning. Well done

[@TheBigtrev1234]

I'm SO PROUD of you all!!! Been watching R&L for over a decade, and just discovered y'all last year. So cool to see the behind the scenes of both wonderful crews! Congratulations

[@somerflowers]

I was so excited when your new song came on when the new season started! It’s beautiful and starts my morning with the happiest lil 7 seconds! Thank you for sharing this with us 🤗

[@raditya4387]

This is the best version of GMM intro for sure. Wow.

[@born2boogie]

Amazing! Thank you for this behind the scenes look!! This is incredible. I appreciate the theme song more, having watched this!! 💖💖

[@hollywhatley2677]

This video was amazing! Loved seeing the behind the scenes work for both the music and the visuals! So much detail that you wouldn’t even know about. Also, I love the details in the video like layering the beatboxing onto the next scene of the construction. So good!

[@Crimson_Knight004]

This is so cool seeing the production on both sides! The new intro is amazing, but I think it’s easy to forget just how much work goes into a seven second clip. Seeing it all unfold just makes me appreciate it and all of the work that was put into it even more! Y’all and the GMM Crew are awesome. 👏

[@haleyperetic8285]

This is the behind the scenes creative stuff that I need more of! I live seeing how they worked together and shared their ideas!

[@ryanwstrate]

Watched your show for the first time after discovering you on gmm and wanted to say amazing work. Now I’m off to watch your other videos cause I’m loving it so far

[@IsabelleJRogers]

WOW I always love seeing the behind the scenes of productions. As someone who creates stop-motion short films, I know so much insane detail goes into a mere second of pre-production, set design, film and music. Thank you for your inspiring creative works!

[@oldcarnut1]

Wow. What a great video showing all the work going into the the final project. Seeing how you all work together to assemble the visual and audio elements together is amazing. Just goes to show that I knew you were great when I first saw you on the car commercials so many years ago. Keep up the wonderful vibe you have.

[@trgdy15]

You can really tell everyone involved put in an incredible amount of work to make this happen and I dare say it was well worth it!

[@itallbeginstoday]

So awesome! You (and Nataly) continue to be some of my absolute favorite creative people on this site. These kinds of videos are so rad!

[@Noneofyourbyisness]

The creative process is one I’ll always adore. Everything that’s created so much work and efforts goes behind. You guys are well appreciated! And motivating!

[@adam.f89]

I honestly haven't made any music in such a long time, but after seeing this video you guys.... I'm so pumped to get creating again!!! Thank you!

[@aishgotgame]

man I see videos like these and I feel like there's so much I don't know or understand. I'm amazed by the talented people who crate such beautiful stuff for others to enjoy. love it! its an organized chaos

[@cuppscraps]

Loved getting to see this process and what went into it, thank you!

[@nomercymayhem]

My two favorite KZbinrs COMBINED. Love to see it. Great work!

[@orlandovictores8882]

Amazing work 👏🏼 I remember very well that interview with Rhett and Link on Ear Biscuits podcast! That's how I learned of the work you guys do and became a big fan of Pomplamoose!

[@SuperMustache555]

Jack, this video absolutely exudes joy in the best way possible. Thanks for making the incredible content and the incredible theme song!

[@official_jaina]

As a video creator, it is always so cool to see the behind the scenes of projects other creators are working on. The sheer size of the Mythical team, and all of the cool stuff they are doing always blows my mind. Rhett and Link are my biggest inspirations for following my dreams, and I can only hope to build something half the size of Mythical one day. It is truly amazing what they have accomplished in 10 years. Congratulations guys and here's to another 10 years.

[@Rageify]

Ben's description of the show is perfect: organized chaos, that's what makes it so good!

[@DWish808]

WOW! I've been subscribed to you guys and GMM for years and you guys are amazing! I still listen to the cover songs as they're amazing! I'm, honestly, not surprised how much work you put into just 7 seconds of music, but it's still amazing all the same. Blown away at your dedication and professionalism!

[@jomanji1732]

This is one of the coolest videos I have seen on KZbin in a long time! Thank you for putting in the effort for the then song, and making this video!

[@EricFisher206]

Two of our family's favorite creators/folks... thank you so much for sharing the creative process with us!

[@michaelscanlon6553]

This video goes straight into number 1 of my top 10 KZbin videos of 2022, loved it!

[@kidkidding7986]

This progress video made me appreciate the intro so much more and I hadn't even thought about it.. You guys are incredibly talented and hardworking 🥺🥰❤❤

[@conradhanno7663]

This behind this scenes content is amazing gmm needs to do some more of this because I loved it. Extreme respect for the amount of work you put in on this and to the gmm crew would never have known how much effort the new intro took without this video whole new level of appreciation for the intro thank you

[@brittyvegas9482]

That's quite impressive the sets and the music are amazing....yall did an amazing job on that....and watching link and rhett i had never really realized all the details in the sets in the intro ....now i will be paying attention to all the little details yall have thrown in. Great job

[@mikeletroca]

Very good work and thanks to all the people involved, this is the result of joint a set of different field teams and the spirit they put in the job, thanks ¡¡¡

[@boblebob]

I want one of these behind the scenes for each new intro from now on!

[@annej.]

Congrats Pomplamoose and thanks for sharing the whole process. Very interesting and instructive to see how all the finetuning ends up leading to a great final result.

[@JoshuaMuse]

It always amazes me how much work goes into that show. It also shows how much work and time goes into creating the perfect sound/tune.

[@elliefantyellow]

I absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED this!!! I loved seeing behind the scenes both with the music and the build of the visual part. I love how much work you put into the music and all the different versions you created. (Btw, the timpani at the very end of the intro is my favorite part!)

[@TimmehTim]

Loved this video, so much!

[@MalachiMunn]

i’m here from GMMore. never heard of ya, happy to be here! 🥳

[@naffy113]

This was really cool! Thank you for sharing the process and creating the iconic melody that I've been listening to for years now! :)

[@Brooque613]

Pomplamythical! Love it! These in depth behind the scenes things are so awesome!

[@OWLeong]

This is such an AMAZING experience! And to be able to see the process behind it, IS A BLESSING! Gosh, this makes me want to work in the creative industry! What a GREAT video!

[@laustenfound]

Pomplamoose was one of the first youtube videos I obsessed over, the "Beat the Horse" video blew my mind, incorporating each track as a video clip. 2008 wow. One of the main reasons I started making music, seeing that it could be done at home using instruments in all sorts of ways. So, thank you Pomp~

[@madkips]

I enjoyed watching the creative process, thank you for sharing this with us! 🤍

[@TheHurrumph]

That was a great mini doc! I really enjoyed how you not only made the theme and participated in the creation but also presented the behind the scenes process that was taking place on the other side. For only being 14 minutes long you managed to stuff so much more into it!

[@stevensicari500]

Love to see how large of an artistic force Rhett and link empower. So cool

[@jkell42]

Thanks for sharing your creative process! You are one of my favorite og creators!

[@hesaminimalist]

This was such a fantastic video! Loved seeing the process and the struggles internally - well done for pushing through, and delivering something so excellent!

[@jasonremy1627]

Love seeing the creative process at work!

[@bradleyammons1718]

This is the most relatable video to express the creative process I’ve ever seen.

[@ProfessorBStudios]

This is amazing!!! Congrats guys! what a cool process and end result.

[@connormichalec]

Soo cool seeing the entire process music and video

[@ThisBeEv]

As an aspiring musician myself seeing how much work is going on in the background for that small piece of music is so inspiring and fascinating to me.

[@AdamBrownAdventures]

This theme song is 🔥

[@fiercegirldesign1]

I loved being able to see some of your process, as well as the GMM crew's behind-the-scenes work. And an added bonus was being able to see Chase in his element. We only seem him wearing ridiculous mid drift shirts and doing all manner of absurdity on GMM, so it was cool to see him working in a more professional, skill-driven capacity. Love the final opening! Thanks for sharing!

[@Thawney]

This is so lovely!! And this video is absolutely incredible Tysm for showing us the process

[@paulatancodera8326]

So glad I watched this today!
