Fire rip. I feel kind of out of the loop with the whole TunesToTube bit but I love stupid audio edits like this so much. Raft Ride type beat.

The Other Raft Ride of Terror
Season 7 Ridden on: PROTONOMICON ~ The Cult of Proto Collection
Raft by eg_9371
youtube
Neither the rip title or mix name were lying!! This is an original arrangement of Raft Ride in a very spooky vibe, and to my knowledge isn't pulling from any specific game at all as a reference? eg_9371 is just a damn good arranger I suppose, because yeah - this sounds great! Really set the mood to the Protonomicon event quite nicely, and I'm surprised at how much it still feels like Raft Ride even as the Harpsichord added doesn't connect to the original melody at all, and both the high note and chaotic backing track were removed. I suppose their silliness would take away from the song's actual intent of sounding ominous - and sure enough, it does that excellently, whilst still having a melody that is unmistakeable Raft Ride.

I swear I keep hearing this song used in shitposts and rips but I never know its origin or even why it got popular? I mostly just remember it because there's a small part of it that sounds just like a part of the bridge in Scott the Woz's Closing In. Weird association to make. Hm.
Anyway - good rip!

First - I hated having to name this rip.
Second - the way the melody track is recreated to sound like the beat of the original song is fucking incredible, fantastic way to blend the two songs without pitch shifting the vocals themselves, elevates it beyond just a normal mashup.

Satinpanties Symphony
Season 5 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume D
Ripped by eg_9371 Visuals by moralem (art), RHMan (chart), brubsby (recording)
youtube
There's a lot to be said about the frequently-ripped things on SiIvaGunner. I've already covered how rips like Wii Shop Bling paved way for the Wii Shop Channel theme becoming a permanent mainstay on the channel, and there are several other tracks like it that cemented their place on the channel in one way or another. Sometimes its out of popularity, like with the Super Mario 64 Slider rips, or out of a longstanding in-joke like with the Five Nights at Freddy's Circus rips (believe me, we'll get to those one day). But with a few exceptions, like Season 7s infestation of Raft Rides, a lot of these reoccurances stem from some sort of, long-running legacy so to speak.
Which is what makes the channel's direct ties to Friday Night Funkin' so interesting to me. The game effectively came out of nowhere at the tail end of Season 4, and without skipping a beat it started receiving regular rips as soon as Season 5 began. What set these rips apart was the effort that consistently went into them - visuals and charts were edited or made ground-up specifically to match the original game, like they were all-new songs to play in-game. On top of this, the rips were of course consistently bangers - it was a perfect storm that pushed FNF as an inseperable part of SiIva's identity in no time flat.
In the same way that FNF honors the legacy of Newgrounds, its always felt to me like the FNF rips on SiIva honor the channel's own legacy. Be it Gangster Mario, Among Us Drip, Astronaut in the Ocean - so many of the rips just feel tied to the channel's own foundation and community, especially in how it creates FNF character designs for these in-jokes. And to tie it back to these frequently ripped tracks I discussed earlier, todays rip highlights one of those in particular - Stickerbrush Symphony from Donkey Kong Country 2. A track less so heralded for its nostalgia or potential funnyness, but for its unbelievable quality despite the hardware its on. Its an important piece of music to a lot of VGM-invested people, and Satinpanties Symphony does it justice in spades. It stays authentic to the source track its building on and the game's general call-and-response structure between singers, even free-styling certain sections a bit to better fit FNF's pace, without ever losing the essence of the track its adapting. The serotonin that hits when both parties sing in harmony leading in to the chorus hits crazy hard, its honestly hard to listen to the track without a smile.
And that's really the thing - eg_9371s output on the channel is fucking HUGE in a way that I don't believe I could effectively summarize, yet almost all the rips I've heard from him just make me smile in the simplest of ways. His output is so varied it might as well be SiIvaGunner distilled into just one ripper - the consistent throughline being quality no matter what.
