You probably already know about this song, but Dead Man’s Party by Oingo Boingo reminds me a LOT of Beej and Lydia’s friendship

YEAH that one's a classic. there used to be a cartoon beetlejuice amv with it but i can't seem to find it anymore...it was super old. from the windows movie maker days lmao

i also like that oingo boingo feels a lot like the music in the show. you could literally put that song in an episode and it wouldn't be out of place whatsoever, even if danny elfman wasn't involved in the music of the show beyond the intro theme (unbelievable that this man did this intro and the simpsons intro back to back in the same year) but the vibes in the neitherworld are so good at capturing the essence of the song. i'm sure the artists listened to a lot of oingo boingo while working on it

the only other song that i feel matches the neitherworldian vibes in the show is panic station by muse, which i've referred to as "muse's attempt at making an oingo boingo song (and succeeding)"

i even made a couple of edits of the show's intro with the song and it fit perfectly with minimal editing

edit of the second intro here since i can't upload two videos in the same post

these 👏 are 👏 the 👏 vibes 👏

i really need more songs like dead man's party and panic station with similar zany/surreal/spooky themes

FATED TO PRETEND: INTRO & MASTERLIST

Your phone rang on the desk opposite you for the third time. It was a cold day where you were stationed, freezing even, and you were fairly sure that even if you did want to answer that call, your phone would be stuck to the mahogany due to the sub-zero European temperature in your small office.

You already know what he'd say, you could already feel the words penetrating your ears. You didn't want to hear them, couldn't bring yourself to hear them. Maybe if you ignored the phone some more, he would give up and call the next best thing. The phone stopped ringing, and you were granted with a few moments silence. You leant back on the chair, folding your arms over your chest and releasing a breath you didn't even know you were holding.

The wind battered against the flexible glass of the window. You could just make out the faint outline of people on the airstrip, running around and laughing at each other. The pilots down there were fresh, spring-chickens who were so excited for what the future of this career holds. It was your job to keep their excitement palpable, not to tell them the truth, that in sixth months when dicking about is over, they would wish they never joined the Navy in the first place.

The phone rang again. Groaning, you braced your elbows on the desk and stared at the name on the screen.

Dad.

You bit the inside of your cheek, a nervous habit you got from your mother. You didn't even realise you had reached for the phone until it was against you ear and your father's voice filled the room.

"God, Y/N! I thought you were dead!" Pete Mitchell said that every time you answered his phone calls. It was routine, almost, you would ignore his first few calls before finally picking up, and he would panic and berate you and you would (insincerely) apologise before letting him say whatever it is he needs to say, and that would be it. He wouldn't call again for three months and then the cycle repeats itself, like a snake eating it's own tail.

"What is it?" You cut to the chase.

"Look, Y/N, you know what I'm gonna say. And I'd rather it be me say it than Admiral Simpson" You sigh down the phone, you could picture your fathers face in your head. Eyebrows furrowed, free hand on hip as he looks down at the ground and back up. Right now, he'd be glancing around the room, trying to make himself look busy to any suspecting on-lookers. "Don't make this hard for me"

"Do I have to?" You ask, biting the skin on your thumb. "Like, is there actually nobody else?"

"You know you have to. Don't pretend you're busy and hang up the phone so you can avoid the conversation, I've already called Ant and he said you were just sat in your office farting about with paperwork" You take a mental note to berate your best friend as soon as this call is over. "Y/N, this is your job. I know you'd rather hide away in some dark corner and teach some morons how to stop and start a plane, but you're better than that. You know it, I know it, Cyclone knows it, and the Navy knows it. That's why we need you here."

"Well, what's in it for me?"

"Bragging rights, I don't know. I don't even know why I'm here, dovey." You close your eyes and sigh at your fathers childhood nickname for you. Your relationship had always been strained, your mother doing everything in her power when you were a child to stop Pete from seeing you. She thought he was dangerous, irresponsible, which are both true, but that never stopped him from showing up at your front door demanding to see his daughter. You were always a daddy's girl, but his unreliability slowly ate away at whatever relationship the two of you shared, him preferring to give all the fatherly love he had in him to his late best friends son, Bradley, who, you had heard, couldn't really stand him either, especially in more recent years.

You felt bad for the guy, you really did, but he did it to himself.

"You don't have a choice here, babe, you either do whatever this is we have to do or you're permanently grounded. I'm on the same terms as you, you know how Cyclone feels about me. We're on the same team"

"I guess" You murmur just as a knock on the door comes. Ant pokes his head round, biting his lip nervously as you hold up a finger, a silent plea for him to give you a minute. "Fine, I'll do it. But if anyone asks, I did this of my own free will and my father did not have to call me begging. That's embarrassing for you"

Pete chuckled down the phone, bidding you a goodbye as you put the phone on your desk and rested your head in the palms of your hands.

"If it's any consolation, I've been called back too" Ant says, snapping you out of your trance. He's behind you now, massaging your shoulders. He's tense too, you can feel it in his movements. "Someone else has been called back as well, I bet Mav didn't mention that on the phone"

"He didn't need to" You reply, craning your neck to look up at him. Ant and you had met years ago when you were both stationed somewhere sunny, neither of you cared enough to remember where. You were both Top Gun graduates, and he was your new back seater after your last guy had a panic attack in the air and quit, much like a story your dad told you about someone he knew years ago.

The two of you regularly joked that you were twin flames, he was a brother from another mother, Sonic and Tails, Femme and Fatale. You could read each other like a book, and he was the first person to not have any expectations of you or your skills in the cockpit after realising who your father was.

Ant smiled lovingly down at you, leaning slightly down to wrap his forearms around you in a hug. You reached up to hold his wrist, leaning back slightly, welcoming the embrace.

"It'll be fine" He murmured, pressing a quick and friendly kiss to your temple before releasing his hold on you. "We're only there for three weeks, it'll be over before you know it, and we'll be back in this shithole teaching these men how to make fire"

You chuckled, nodding along slowly.

"I better pack a bag" You say, pushing yourself out of the chair. "When Top Gun calls, I better come a-running"

.　 . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆

The air is thick and the sun is hot, a sharp contrast to your last location. Ant walks slightly ahead of you, abandoning your duffel bags in the trunk of his car and pushing his sunglasses up his nose. The sound of the waves crashing nearby was somewhat calming in comparison to the pounding in your head. Despite the somewhat idyllic scenery, you would rather be anywhere but here.

Your jeans were sticking to your legs as you felt a bead of sweat roll down your back. You couldn't tell whether it was from nerves or from the blistering heat, either way, you'd rather be somewhere with air conditioning.

"Mav said he'd be in there" Ant says, pointing ahead of him at a beachside bar. The sign read 'The Hard Deck', with small LED planes flying around the slogan, lighting the sand around it blue. Of course your dad would be here, probably scoping out some poor fresh-meat naval aviators to scare the daylights out of.

"Stop talking to my dad" You roll your eyes and walk ahead towards the entrance of the bar as soon as you felt a cool breeze coming from the general vicinity.

"Hey! Maybe if you spoke to him more, I wouldn't have to be the middleman!" Ant hollers from behind you, picking up his pace to catch up with you.

Your dog tags smacked against your chest as you stepped up towards the bar, scouting the room out for any sign of your father. He was on the other side of the bar, tormenting the bartender most likely. Ant waved at him from behind you, gaining his attention as he nodded for the two of you to join him at the other side of the bar.

"Sonic" He nods at Ant. "Dovey" He opens his arms for a hug, a rare sight, and even though every neuron in your brain was screaming at you to leave him standing there with open arms like some sort of theme park attraction, you just couldn't resist a hug from your dad. In his arms, you felt like a little girl again, who's dad didn't hurt her, who's dad didn't run off, who's dad didn't introduce her to the first and only boy to ever break her heart.

"Hi, dad" You say, hugging him round the middle tightly as his hand rubbed your back.

"I got you two a drink" He replies, pulling away from the embrace and sliding two glasses towards you. Ant picks his up, chugging the concoction immediately and scuttling off down the bar, no doubt on purpose. He does this every time, makes some sort of excuse to leave you and your father alone together so he doesn't 1) witness the awkwardness of the interaction, and 2) be caught in the crossfire of the inevitable argument the two of you end up having.

"We don't have to do this, dad" You say, guzzling your own drink before slamming it back down on the bar. Malt whiskey, at least he remembered your drink of choice. "We don't have to attempt to mend whatever this relationship is just because we're working together, because in three weeks I'm gonna be back in Bosnia or wherever it was I was booted off to, and we won't talk for months and it'll just start all over again"

"I'm glad we're on track" He smiled at you, resting a hand on your shoulder, thumping it in a friendly manor. "I'll see you tomorrow, kid" And with that, your father was walking down the bar towards the bartender as you turned around to find Ant at the pool table, with some more aviators in their khaki's.

He nods his head for you to join, but you shake your head and turn back around, leaning your elbows on the bar, losing yourself in your thoughts.

The last time you were at Top Gun, this bar had been less than pretty. It was grotty, sticky floors and all. The jukebox would play the same fragmented verse of some random 80s ballad on repeat, and the place always had an almost fusty smell from years of beer and other spirits being spilt on the floor and bar. The bartender's were just as unrecognisable, and, looking over at your father, you wouldn't be surprised if he had some sort of history with the woman leaning over to ring the bell that sat happily above you.

You chuckled to yourself as a couple men in khaki's hauled your dad out and onto the sand, he probably deserved it. Just as you were about to join Ant, the bartender turned to you.

"Y/N, right?" She smiled at you. You blinked at her and nodded, your bottom lip caught between your teeth. "I'm Penny, Pete and I are old friends" She pushed another glass of malt whiskey towards you.

"It's on the house" She continued. "He never stops talking about you" Her eyebrows furrowed, as if waiting for your reaction, but all you did was lift the glass to your lips and raise an eyebrow back.

"Surprising" You reply, putting the glass down. "I never talk about him"

"He said you'd say something like that" You both chuckled. Penny had a comforting aura about her, something motherly and warm. You wondered what someone like her saw in someone like your father. "Don't take this the wrong way, but you're dad is a good guy deep down. Took me a while to believe it too. Just- I know you're gonna be working together for the next few weeks, so try not to let the fact that he's sometimes a dick get in the way of whatever it is that you need to do. From what I've heard, you're a fantastic pilot, Mav has some competition"

You smile at her, grateful for her words of wisdom, but just as you open your mouth to reply, the door to the bar swings open and the sounds of cheers from the aviators behind you fill the room.

Suddenly, Ant is behind you, resting his hands either side of you on the bar so you're back is flush with his chest, creating a human shield of some sorts.

"OK, don't look" He says, staring dead ahead. "But Bradley just walked in" Your eyes went wide as Penny pursed her lips and walked off to the other patrons, leaving you pushed up against the bar nursing a drink. "He has a-" Ant cuts himself off, furrowing his eyebrows. "He has a pornstache?"

"What?" You reply, ducking under his arm to escape his embrace before he could stop you.

Immediately, your eyes were attached to the tallest man in the bar, you wouldn't have missed him even if you were blindfolded. He was more muscular than the last time you saw him, and his hair was slightly golden, like it always was when he spent too much time in the sun, telling you he had been here for a while. Those stupid aviator glasses were still plastered to his face, like they had been for the last decade, and he was still sporting Hawaiian shirts like they were going out of fashion. His clothes hugged him deliciously, and you're suddenly reminded of all the reasons you fell in love with him in the first place.

Ant was right, he had grown a pornstache, and you hated to admit it, but you don't think you had ever seen him look so good. It had been five years since you saw him last, five years since your relationship had ended. Your father had introduced you two at some Navy event just after you had graduated from Top Gun. You knew who he was, of course, you had seen photos of him hung around your dad's apartment, you were fairly sure Pete had more pictures of him than he did you.

He smiled at you, with that stupid fucking smile, and immediately you were a goner. He introduced himself, offering you a glass of champagne and a seat at the table next to him, and for four months after that you were inseparable. He made you feel like the only girl in the world, and he looked at you like he had the whole world in the palm of his hand. He was the first, and only man, you had loved fully, with every little bit of your heart and soul, so much so that he was the first face to appear in your head when you woke up, and the last face you pictured before you fell asleep.

You hadn't seen him since he broke your heart half a decade ago, leaving you a shell of yourself for no apparent reason other than the fact that he 'couldn't make it work.' To this day, you don't know what 'it' is, what 'it' he was referring to, you can only imagine he was talking about long distance, your jobs constantly forcing you to be apart, but the years of maturing and growth made you see the bigger picture. He just didn't want you anymore. He had had his fun, he had dicked about with Pete Mitchell's daughter, became a naval celebrity, and then fucked off when the novelty of you had worn off.

"Earth to Y/N!" Ant bellowed, waving his hand in your face. You were snapped out of your trance. "I said do you wanna leave?"

You shook your head, nervously fiddling with the dog tags around your neck. "No, it's ok. Just- we'll avoid him" Ant nodded, passing you the drink you had abandoned haphazardly on the bar. You drank the rest of its contents, watching Bradley like a hawk.

Ant scoffed next to you, he knew what you meant by 'avoiding' him, you would sit at the bar, keeping your distance but your eyes locked on him until he noticed you. And when he would notice you, you would crap yourself and leave and then cry yourself to sleep as Ant would nurse you when you dry heaved from sobbing. He had been here one too many times before, Bradley's name has to merely come up in conversation for you to spiral.

"Sonic, I'm serious" You say, turning your back to Bradley and leaning on the bar once again. "Me and you are gonna have fun, and then we're gonna go back to the apartment and order a pizza and then go to bed. I'm not letting some man get me down-"

You're cut off by the sound of the piano behind you, and you don't even need to turn around to know that it's Bradley's fingers expertly playing the keys, and you don't even need to turn around to know that your dad is probably pressed up against the window paying more attention to the guy at the piano than his daughter who's drinking her own sorrows at the bar.

Ant sighed. "If you say so."

Intro Post

I've been on Tumblr for years, idk how I've never done an intro post.

Well, I'm Ralph, I'm 23 years old, I use He/Him or He/They pronouns and I use masculine and neutral nouns.

What We Do In The Shadows

[nerds-yearbook]

On October 29, 1992, the Simpsons "Treehouse of Horror III" aired. This time it was Homer who warned the audience about the episode being scary with a nod to the old "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" intros. The wrap-around segments involved Lisa, Grandpa, and Bart telling a story while at a Halloween party. The three segments were "Clown Without Pity" (based on the Twilight Zone episode "Living Doll" with touches of "Child's Play" and "Gremlins"), "King Homer" (based on the original "King Kong") and "Dial 'Z' for Zombies" (based on "Pet Cemetery" and various zombie movies like "Living Dead" franchise).

#ted lasso for dummies

Intro Part 1

01×02 Biscuits

00:00:22 'Nestlé Shredded wheat'* *This stuff is for real - Whole Grain Wheat Cereal Biscuits. These type of breakfast food are not in shape of liked by everyone little squares, loops, balls or stars. These are fucking food BRICKS. So I really share Ted's shock.

00:02:37 'The Spice Girls.'* *It's like my childhood all over again. Phrase 'girl power' it's about them, about Spice girls, well-known and beloved all over the world british girl group. Scary Spice, Sporty Spice, Baby Spice, Ginger Spice, Posh Spice! P.S. Plus one of them is wife of football player, former captain of the England national team - David Beckham 😎. So, the theme of football is also present in this conversation between Ted and Rebecca.

00:02:45 'The Gambler himself, Mr. Kenny Rogers'*

*So, here Coach Lasso introduces us to the specific work (song The Gambler) of an American musician (Kenny Rogers). Erm, I must admit that I googled this guy, he and his work were not popular in my country. But this song definitely have Ted Lasso vibe, maybe because of country notes which take us to Kansas - homeland of our coach 🤠.

00:04:30 'We're gonna call this drill The Exorcist, because it's all about controlling possession.'* *Only Ted could compare football strategy with the demonic possession of a young girl and her mother's attempt to rescue her through an exorcism by two Catholic priests, depicted in classic American horror movie 😬.

00:06:15 'Boy George.'* *And another one musical icon from GB. You will recognize him by his soulful voice and his androgynous appearance, large hats and bright make-up.

00:12:05 'Best concert, we got Beastie Boys.'* * Yet another legend in musical industry from America. Beastie Boys are considered very influential in both the hip hop and rock music scenes, with 7 platinum albums and over the top sales in rap genre.

00:12:09 'Actually, did y'all get the O.J. trial over here?'* *And another one football related topic: the case against O. J. Simpson, a former National Football League (NFL) player, broadcaster and actor, acquitted for the murders of his ex-wife and her friend. However, Ted somehow randomly mentions this case in a conversation with Rebecca and Higgins.

00:14:10 'And if we were the Rolling Stones...'* *I must say it's some musical episode! Jamie's comparison of himself to Mick Jagger and Roy to Keith Richards is just gold, but partly accurate! The Rolling Stones - british rock band with over six decades history. Jagger and Richards are the same age, but yeah former one is a front man and latter is like in background, just like our fellas on football pitch.

00:15:19 'Ernie Lounds, The Sun'* * The Sun is bright example of fake media. Among brits it's known for spreading lies about various topics: government, celebrities etc. And football related fact: 'In Liverpool they hate the Sun because of the Hillsborough disaster. Liverpool is a great City proud of their football team. The Hillsborough disaster involved the horrible death of many football fans. The cause was bad policing and the collapse of a terrace at a football match. The Sun blamed the Liverpool fans and spoke all of the dead'

00:16:56 '... the best barbecue sauce in Kansas City.'* * Oh man, Americans and their love for all things barbecue! BBQ is just like national sport for them, witch will be not fully experienced without good BBQ sauce. Ted's favorite:

00:25:05 'Little Phife Dawg and Q-Tip comin' at you'* *Once Phife Dawg and Q-Tip, were members of the music group - A Tribe Called Quest, which split up because of creative tensions between former and latter, who were both vying for greater control of the group's direction. And I personally think that this life story greatly illustrate the current situation in FC Richmond.

Talking About Pokemon Openings - "The Pokemon Theme" and "Pokemon World"

So here’s something random that I planned to do a long time ago. I just never got around to it. But since the topic keeps coming up, and I’d rather do it now than during a hype cycle, let’s do it.

I am going to talk about every Pokemon opening theme from the anime. Including the movie versions.

If you know me, you know my overall engagement in the Pokemon fandom fizzled out years ago. So this may be unexpected. But the truth is, this isn't entirely about Pokemon. I like the openings to TV shows. I find the artistry in making a catchy show intro interesting. I appreciate them. A good opening song can help a show immensely. Like many songs, a good theme can last decades in pop culture. This experiment may one day expand to beyond this one show.

BUT for now, we're here. Inarguably, the first Pokemon theme has endured. Over 25 years. We'll get to that.

As for the show itself, it stretched itself thin 2 decades ago. While it's not an equivalent of the "Zombie Simpsons" idea (at least not anymore since Ash Ketchum left) the anime exists solely because BRAND and has little to say anymore on it's own merits.

But this ain't an anime review.

Before this starts, yes I'm aware of the Japanese themes. Not my focus right now. Makes any difference, the XYZ theme is great. Duh.

This is also not one of those tier lists. At most it's kinda a Thanos snap situation. I could more or less easily prefer half these songs over the other half lol.

I'm also fully aware certain announcements could line up with this list if I did it one theme a day. Yeah I don't feel like it and I avoid hype cycles. So I'm tackling multiple Pokemon themes at once. Up to 3, although today will be 2. The "1st Gen" ones if you will.

All that said, let's start.

Pokémon: Indigo League - "The Pokemon Theme"

IT'S GARBA- nah imagine?

It just works. The instrumental, lyrics, singers, the structure. Probably the most obvious thing I could say. But compared to later themes, even ones I like, this is simply more polished and…is sophisticated the word? I don't know. A lot of the more recent openings just go for a more basic structure.

4Kids gets criticized for a lot and I've stopped really caring about that discourse since Saturday morning cartoons have been dead for years. Like at this point, people are just angry at ghosts and being pissed online about some shit roughly 25 years ago is not gonna undonut those rice balls. Shit happens. Yet I don't think anyone can say 4Kids didn't have catchy songs which got kids hooked. Idk how they found all that talent all at once. But it really worked.

As an introduction to Pokemon in the west, I don't see how they could've made this song any better. The lyrics not only explain the premise, but makes the premise feel epic and endearing at the same time. While inviting the viewer to the Pokemon journey.

Even that little bit where they had Ash's English voice actor join in on the song is great. The entire thing feels like the culmination of everything people liked from cartoon themes previously. Although I know that wasn't the thought process going into making it. They just wanted to make a good song.

The short version is great, CLEARLY. The extended version could've very well just been weaker, but it really isn't. And 4Kids knew that too because they just played that full version whenever they felt like it. Hell I would've too.

Because it was so great, they made more music for Pokemon in the west and put it on albums. I can tell you right now as someone who used to be a curious enthusiast, I've heard all that stuff at least once. I'm not covering that. At best, 2.B.A. Master has some okay songs. But it only goes downhill. Especially with follow up albums in this era.

This is where it gets weird. Because now is where I would transition to the other version from the movie.

But…the movie got remade. As did the song.

Huh.

I looked into it. What I'm gonna do is just tackle the 2020 version when covering Sun & Moon's 3rd theme. Might as well. Not much to say on that one.

Mewtwo Strikes Back - "The Pokemon Theme"

Yeah I think it's good. Better than the original? It has some appealing aspects, but overall no. Idk, maybe it's just the mixing or perhaps the singing needed slightly stronger delivery, especially in the chorus. But it's definitely still a vibe.

I can't find an official link on youtube lol. I don't entirely know how this happens with a franchise as big as Pokemon. Their little distro youtube channel is lacking. I'm also not linking the movie clip because I don't wanna help them see it and get it taken down. Here's a substitute link:

Just weird in general. I get the movie soundtrack has licensed music, but Pokemon definitely owns the main theme no matter how they rearranged it.

As a movie version, I think it definitely does what it needs to. I appreciate the beginning for really making it feel like the original, and then transitioning to it's own thing. There's probably a decent argument that the original could've worked for the movie. I prefer the remix route for the movie.

It's hard for me to gauge the visuals of either version since they're meant for the Japanese version of the Pokemon anime. I'm sure as it got more popular in the west, TPCI suggested they should make these openings a little more flexible for interpretation. But initially 4Kids were just mashing up whatever tf they wanted. Not that I have complaints of any edits of these openings specifically. I think the visuals line up with the songs spectacularly in the TV version. Even if there's a lot of scenes from the anime to choose from that were probably left on the cutting room floor.

The mix of the movie version and it's visuals I feel...works less. But that's a whole ass battle so that's different context. It's also just a differently paced and animated Pokemon battle form the norm at the time. Going the soul route with the song combined with a more flowy battle makes some sense. I imagine watching and hearing that on the big screen was a great moment.

Anything else I can say about this? Well I didn't really didn't talk about the TV singer. I've opted not to name anyone in these. But it doesn't change the facts. I would really vibe with him if I didn't learn about something on his wikipedia page dated 2012. Yeah this is Tumblr and I'm tired of giving people an inch. The Pokemon Theme was made by a team of people. Composers, lyricists, backup singers. Not just him. Wouldn't be surprised if a deeper dive into that probably explains why TPCI hasn't really ever brought him back for ANYTHING. Despite the fact he's still actively singing well and it would be easy nostalgia points. Hell even 4Kids didn't do anything with him after the 2.B.A. Master album either.

I don't know, shit's a little off to me personally. Might mean nothing tho.

I guess there's one last confusing branch here. They covered The Pokemon Theme for the 2017 Pokemon movie. In the same style of the original. I will cover that 2017 version along with the 1st Sun & Moon anime theme. Again, might as well. Not much to say there anyway.

Technically The Pokemon Theme was initially used for the Orange Islands at the beginning. Although whether that's just to avoid spoilers, the next song "Pokemon World" needing more time to cook, 4Kids doing a marketing strat to keep engagement, or trying to avoid confusion with kids, who knows?

Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands - "Pokemon World"

Well it is Black History Month so imma just say it in the nicest way. Every critic I've ever seen call this song mid was clearly never from the hood because this shit slapped back then LMAO.

Pokemon World is a hype as fuck song.

If the goal is to get kids hyped, I don't see any kid just ignoring this theme unless they've just been conditioned to hate Hip Hop & R&B or some shit like that. In which case, rip bozo but I'm built different.

The first Pokemon theme invited you. Pokemon World tells you to step the fuck up lol.

I was surprised to even hear this come out of my tv screen when I was a kid. There is nothing about this song that I hate. Hell if the Mewtwo movie singer went as hard as the Pokemon World singer, I probably would've called it a masterpiece.

Something about that chorus is special.

This song has a lot of attitude while still giving the Pokemon journey so much gravitas. It's just more battle focused. Which, you know Ash WINS the Orange Islands. So it might as well be battle focused. Imma miss this attitude when we get to later songs.

The visuals with the TV version of Pokemon World are very good. Everything's energetic and bouncy or at the very least interesting. That Pikachu lightning strike that extends above the earth and into space. That goes hard tbh. The music fits it damn near perfectly in my opinion. Seeing this opening as a kid, why would you NOT watch an episode of Orange Islands?

At the end of the day, it's just…fun. Pokemon World is a song that wants to party. It wants viewers energized and engaged. I believe it does it well in the short version. While being serious enough to not come off as overly goofy or dumbing things down.

Throughout most of these, they'll have a chorus chant "Pokemon". The first few openings that do this are solid, maybe even iconic. The later ones are…bleh. That's for later.

The extended version I think 4Kids also played randomly at times. Obviously I didn't mind. Once again, the second verse does not fail. It matches the first verse, possibly surpassing with the "WHO I WANT TO BE" part.

Again, no official link available. Substitute:

One side note. Pokemon World is in Pokemon Puzzle League too and I still like it. It was a game I actually got for Christmas as a kid. The game also includes a lot of the anime's soundtrack from Seasons 1 and 2, including The Pokemon Theme. I can see (and have seen) people claim it's awkward because it's midi. But for an N64 puzzle soundtrack, it's decent enough. Especially when the blocks get too high and the music gets more intense. As Puzzle League games tend to do.

Another side note. I wonder if the initial intention by 4Kids was to redo the original Pokemon Theme with the Pokemon World Instrumental. Like I can kinda fit the original lyrics into the syllables of the Pokemon World melody. A weird little thought process but it kinda works.

Would be interesting info if true. I'd understand. The season 1 lyrics are great.

The Power of One - "Pokemon World"

I also vibe with the movie version but it's not as straight forward with this one. The inclusion of the solo female singer was a good one and frankly the male/female vocal dynamic always helps with these Pokemon songs. Especially for a movie. It's just the tempo that's the issue. I get why it's like this. Lining up with the Japanese theme for the movie is not an easy task. I think they did what they could with what they had. But as a song in itself, it's alright if a bit awkward.

For most of the song, I would say the tempo works, but then you get to the chant "So you want to be a master of Pok-ay-mon". It's stretched to an awkward degree in this version imo. Still, the breakdown with "we're living" is fantastic. I wanna give points for the beginning being kinda smooth with it. Even if it's not in the movie itself.

Once again, no official link. SMH. Substitute:

Tough call with this one, but I'd say the instrumental carries the song more than the vocals in the movie version of Pokemon World.

But it's fine enough. Again in a movie theater it probably slaps more. But overall, the scene in said movie is just a bunch of people and Pokemon surfing and chillin. Just in the water headed towards a place. With that in mind, the rearrangement works.

Plus honestly, I love this movie and I'd rather have the rearrangement than not have it.

Gonna end this one by saying that in the future, I may be considering certain songs by how they fit a new region or generation. What they choose as a sorta "finale" opening for these subseries.

So retroactively, if Pokemon World is the end of "Gen 1", the song is a great way to send that gen off. As for The Pokemon Theme, it's called that for a reason.

"Because at the time they didn't care enough to specifically name a theme song for a untested franchise in the west?"

Probably. But they also had the power to change the name to something different and never did. Because it is THE Pokemon theme and the perfect introduction to the anime.

Next time I talk about the 3 Johto anime themes.
