Pokemon theme song played by a garage band

[slugg]

yea so we had some stupid talent show type thing at school... my friends and I wanted to make a joke out of it so we played the Pokemon theme song. We're not even a band or anything, just wanted so skip class that day, lol. The funny thing is that people actually liked it, so we were like "wtf? orly?"

anyways, here's a crappy video of it. Enjoy! feel free to comment and rate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCyLAXTY9C8

Pretty weird. You guys should find some better vocals and it'll be better.

QFT, you need good yelling for the "POKEMON!" part

lol yea well we didnt really put much effort into it... pretty much the deal was if we did this, we got out of class all day, haha! The kids playing bass and guitar dont even play bass and guitar... they picked it up a week before we performed. We practiced 4 times then went on without any warmup. We werent at all worried about how well we played it since it was a joke, but it baffled me when people actually liked it, rofl

You were probably the best out of them really. I thought the drums were pretty cool.

 

[Zaitsevs]

you did a great job.

 

[bmacd]

:thumbsup: the drum solo was friggin awesome

 

[slugg]

hmm well it made it onto google video and is now on a ton of people's ipod's at my school, haha! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=200049612757378479

i would recommend doing it again at a different location with better vocals. have the vocals go all for it instead of half-assing it. this has some REAL potential.

 

[slugg]

oh im sure but this was originally a complete joke

off to bigger and better things

edit: still, it was SO fun to do.

a band at my high school played a punk version of the power rangers theme song (way back in the 90's). it was great.

 

[monk3y]

Nice

 

[ShadoWing]

You guys need to do other videogame theme songs....

 

[UpgradeFailure]

That rocked

 

[slugg]

we were actually thinking of doing a side project of geeky songs... including this pokemon one. The song's we've come up with so far are:

Pokemon
Ninja Turtles
Captain Planet
Zelda Theme Song
Super Mario
Spiderman
Power Rangers
Batman
Halo Theme Song
Something from the Final Fantasy series (probably FF7 boss battle music)

^^ and thats about it for now. That's a pretty good list so far. Any other ideas?

The lead singer makes my ears ache... gah...

 

[chambersc]

mortal kombat theme.?

 

[slugg]

omg yes! we already know it too

 

[destrekor]

the lead singer actually sounded kinda good.. not great, but better than decent.
the bassist though... yea, no vocals from him please

These have been done to death. I must have at least eight versions of each done by various bands...

Some suggestions:

Kid Icarus (NES) theme
Transformers theme
Theme from the original Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon
Dexter's Lab theme song

Great Job! Especially on your solo!
