The Paper Train Express

Back to back Rick and Morty posts, a true testament that when I began categorizing this "genre" I was certainly consuming a lot of these R&M remixes. At #3 is RoyishGoodLooks' Mr Meeseeks remix, a song which stays at the top of my YouTube remix playlist and I often begin with because it's so darn catchy! It's a weirdly happy sounding song despite the lyrics being dark. The harmonies are terrific and that key change at the end *chef's kiss* It's a shame TikTok got a hold of it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At #4 Human Music is a Rick and Morty remix created by Chetreo. When I was 17 and starting university, Rick and Morty began to take off in popularity. That's when I stumbled across Chetreo's series of R&M remixes. Whereas POGO does mainly Disney stuff Chetreo made Rick and Morty his bread and butter and this is where it all began. The song does a great job encapsulating the entire feel of the show into the song. The melody he's constructed has a very warm feeling, so happy and almost reminiscent sounding.

TOP 5 TIME! #5 is a remix  created by John D. Boswell aka Melodysheep  of the classic Terry Crews old spice ads. Boswell himself described it as an assault on the senses, but I believe it's far more chill than that. On the surface, it may appear to be goofy remix featuring the shining product of the internet Terry Crews however it sounds fantastic and leaves you wanting more because it's so short. I especially like the chorus, and that combination of "power of music/Oh nooo" is so magnificent.  This gives Terry a Mister Rogers vibe, and it becomes weirdly wholesome in a sense and makes me nostalgic for the older videos that you found on YouTube back when this was released seven years ago. 

#6 was a tough choice; I had four potential songs, all based on Lord of the Rings, but I forced myself to only select one. The others were relegated into the honourable mentions category. At the end of it all, Chetreo's  The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King  remix beat out the others.  If you haven't seen or don't enjoy the trilogy, this probably won't hit you the same way, but there are lots of great lines in here for the LOTR fans to reminisce about. Including but not limited to:  1) Billy Boyd's  Pippin's Song 2)  Gandalf's "Your father loves you, and Faramir" 3) Aragorn's "My friends you bow to no one."  and many more!

#7 is a remix of Dreamworks Animations' The Road to El Dorado by Israeli-American artist Yoav Landau, better known online as The Living Tombstone.  I first came across Landau in 2012 when he created "Tom's Dog", which is the theme for the 5th instalment of the popular web series, asdfmovie by TomSka. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and subsequentially used it on a couple of my projects, including my old vlog. I continued to follow him, and in 2014 he released this Road to El Dorado remix. I can leave this remix on repeat and never grow tired of it; there have been many late nights with this on repeat in the background as I completed work or schoolwork. That "ONE MORE ROLL" line is just so contagious, and it is just one of the many classic lines from this movie included in this remix.
