Your Name Please: Earthbound Music

I am sharing another great song from Earthbound. This is one of the first songs that play in the game when you choose the names for your characters. What names do you like to name your characters? I usually use the defaults but I like to choose a Drill as my favorite thing. So all of Ness’ PK attack skills become PK Drill. Earthbound really has unique music. During a time where Squaresoft and Final Fantasy dominated the RPG market it is nice to know that new comer Earthbound has marked its territory and became a respectable addition to every RPG fan’s collection. What I like best about Earthbound is that it takes place in modern today instead of traditional medieval times like the older FFs. So instead of seeing knights, kings, and castles, you see dogs, robots, and strange star-shaped aliens. This modern twist on the RPG formula produced such a successful franchise for Nintendo. Even better, Ness and Lucas are in Brawl so there is still some love for Earthbound. Ah yes, Earthbound, today’s role playing game.

  1. 1 gdreyband

    [..YouTube..] You’re the best, thanks man.

  2. 2 TheUglyDuckling777

    [..YouTube..] I love this BGM :)

  3. 3 typomanbros

    [..YouTube..] The first time I heard this piece of music I laughed because the first bt of music they play is the opening of the Liberty Bell March. Better known as the theme to Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

  4. 4 typomanbros

    [..YouTube..] I am terribly sorry for the triple post. i don’t know how it happened. :(

  5. 5 YoshiONE2ONE

    [..YouTube..] this is awesome! i remember playing earthbound. but why did mother 3 only hit japan?

  6. 6 FJC1185

    [..YouTube..] That’s how it always is, it’ll be here eventually.

  7. 7 mackincheese

    [..YouTube..] Pipe dream, unfortunately… :(

  8. 8 Fireouch

    [..YouTube..] Because Nintendo is probably afraid it won’t sell well, like what happened with “Earthbound”. Of course if they re-released the “Mother” series along with “Mother 3″ without the bad marketing then they could make up for that.

  9. 9 Electricspaceodyssey

    [..YouTube..] They might know this, but waiting will only make us to want it more.like getting rid of coca cola for NEW coca coca and then every hating it so they bring back the original recipe as coke CLASSIC and make millions.

  10. 10 USCHoodman

    [..YouTube..] Yeh selecting your name never sounded so good. This was one of the coolest/strangest things about starting this game. I was like ? this music, but then I loved it too.

  11. 11 VaatiPwns

    [..YouTube..] Okay’ska…

  12. 12 dakarus

    [..YouTube..] Name another friend, Name your pet, Name your favorite food, Coolest thing? Okayska…

  13. 13 TheShinyShoe

    [..YouTube..] Well maybe Earthbound would have sold better if the slogan wasn’t “this game stinks.”I’m not joking.

  14. 14 Fireouch

    [..YouTube..] Too bad Nintendo won’t admit it.

  15. 15 HylianPirate278

    [..YouTube..] Yeah, reverse psychology doesn’t exactly work in advertising. I wish I had Earthbound, yet alone, a Super Nintendo. Can’t wait for it to come on the VC.Oh, and if Mother 3 gets released in America ever, it’ll probably be for DS and called Earthbound 2.

  16. 16 grands1am

    [..YouTube..] How you can tell? It’s sounds like the pitch is being lowered as the sample plays through… It seems barely recognizable as that march… Good catch if so, though. I could never make it out.This song is so great, also.

  17. 17 meeps4tetris

    [..YouTube..] wasn’t its “ok desu ka?”? and wasnt it Itoi’s voice?

  18. 18 dakarus

    [..YouTube..] YES

  19. 19 gr33npuff1n

    [..YouTube..] AWESOME MUSIC!

  20. 20 gr33npuff1n

    [..YouTube..] I remember hearing this before playing what is and will always be the awesomest RPG ever!This is, other than the Gigyas theme, the best music in Earthbound!

  21. 21 Rubberman202

    [..YouTube..] Okay desu ka?Yeah, he actually says this, he says it really fast.

  22. 22 Tailz2k8

    [..YouTube..] it may sound like “okay desu ka?”,but to me it sounds like “Copiska?”

  23. 23 PicandPiku

    [..YouTube..] That was really the slogan? Wow. That slogan stinks.

  24. 24 OnSaturnDays

    [..YouTube..] lol its say. ” Pokesca ” xDDDDDDD

  25. 25 o0PlasticSaint0o

    [..YouTube..] I always thought it said, “Okay, Scott.”

  26. 26 PebblePeas

    [..YouTube..] I thought it always said “K, Disco”

  27. 27 hardcorefreak92

    [..YouTube..] i always tought it sai “what was that?” haha way off XDXD

  28. 28 JonnyRello

    [..YouTube..] It’s a Mr. Saturn word. Odeska, which means okay.You make your selection… “Odeska?” just as the Mr. Saturns say.You’re welcome.

  29. 29 JonnyRello

    [..YouTube..] Darn it, I must correct myself, Kay-o is the Mr.Saturn word for okay.Odeska is the word for is that right or is it good.It’s been a long time, lol.

  30. 30 forcedtodie

    [..YouTube..] I learned this shiz on guitar.I should upload it to youtube one of these days.

  31. 31 RocmanRaz

    [..YouTube..] WOW! OW OW OW OW!!!! Echo

  32. 32 ChibiChan101

    [..YouTube..] Is Ness in that Giant? Why? i thought it had a mind of its own.

  33. 33 JonnyRello

    [..YouTube..] I think it’s probably the reflection of Ness looking up at the Starman.

  34. 34 Nenilein

    [..YouTube..] “Odeska” sounds like “o desu ka?” wich is japanese for “is it?”

  35. 35 JonnyRello

    [..YouTube..] So I’m not far off, lol.

  36. 36 R2D2

    [..YouTube..] i heard it means OK in japanese i thinksupposely this is where they got Ness’s “OK” taunt from

  37. 37 ChibiChan101

    [..YouTube..] Oh…

  38. 38 seigaihamanaphy464

    [..YouTube..] WOW! Ow…Ow..

  39. 39 Sephiko

    [..YouTube..] Super nostalgia starts at 1:00.

  40. 40 kirbical

    [..YouTube..] Wow, guess I’m not alone!

  41. 41 returnofyesman

    [..YouTube..] OH god I feel the exact same way. When I hear that part I get all nostalgic for my childhood and the fond memories I had playing EB for the very first time

  42. 42 Sephiko

    [..YouTube..] I first rented it when I was 8-9, and returned it after I got stuck after coming back to Twoson with Paula (and it was due back). I then searched for it right after for a time with my mom, and ended up buying Illusion of Gaia. A year or two later, my best friend asks me if I want to borrow EarthBound, and I nearly crapped my pants from happiness.

  43. 43 elebits4545

    [..YouTube..] The way I hear when accepting your name, it said “Ok lets go” but faster pace. Meaning he doesn’t care what you put. LOL ^_^

  44. 44 Hoohaz

    [..YouTube..] In sound test if you play the’War against giygas!’ track (001 i think..) then select the ‘Your name please’ track You get a sweet hybrid version of the song!

  45. 45 shujinco2

    [..YouTube..] How do you get sound test? Is it a code type thing or is it hidden somewhere?

  46. 46 Hoohaz

    [..YouTube..] Send me a message if you’d like a zip file containing the save state file for sound test. Because I forget how to get their personally lol

  47. 47 joeythewing

    [..YouTube..] OK DESUKU?

  48. 48 herrMaria

    [..YouTube..] Ok’ska…?

  49. 49 herrMaria

    [..YouTube..] lol in the ost it’s ok’ska

  50. 50 Aargh14

    [..YouTube..] That “WAOW!!!” once your done always gets me. One of the best things in the game.

  51. 51 youngbay83

    [..YouTube..] cool

  52. 52 Raikousei

    [..YouTube..] Okay desu.

  53. 53 Linklic

    [..YouTube..] Naming your main character and your party has never sounded better. <3

  54. 54 spinkick21

    [..YouTube..] ‘kay, let’s go.

  55. 55 Raikousei

    [..YouTube..] Don’t get me wrong. This song totally rocks; it’s possibly my favorite song in EarthBound. I just like how they say “Okay desu” over and over again. ^_^Also, ya gotta love that bass line. ^_^

  56. 56 mariox901

    [..YouTube..] Odeska!!!

  57. 57 Raikousei

    [..YouTube..] 1:01-1:11This part is inexplicably awesome.

  58. 58 animecrazykid7

    [..YouTube..] Lolz i always though he said ‘And this guy?’

  59. 59 shadowslider11

    [..YouTube..] I know what you mean. ;)

  60. 60 shadowslider11

    [..YouTube..] One of the best themes in earthbound.

  61. 61 SephirothVsKratos

    [..YouTube..] I always heard it as Okay Scott.XD

  62. 62 MoonSideMKDS

    [..YouTube..] i always thought it said “bogus stuff” …xD

  63. 63 WINGMASTER7

    [..YouTube..] is it saying “esp” Ness is psychic and everything

  64. 64 jakkitup

    [..YouTube..] why does that one guy say “okiska” ?? what does that mean??

  65. 65 jakkitup

    [..YouTube..] rofl

  66. 66 PoisonInc

    [..YouTube..] At 1:01, it sends shivers down my spine.

  67. 67 9XMxOxSxHX9

    [..YouTube..] omg it does!!earthbound IS the best game ever.

  68. 68 allmydeadcats

    [..YouTube..] YES. YES IT IS.

  69. 69 spinkick21

    [..YouTube..] this song.and the WAOH!! when you finish.those sounds make the game win before you even start playing.

  70. 70 geno344

    [..YouTube..] pokey means business,kraken of the sea and this is my favorite songs.

  71. 71 theraynexperience

    [..YouTube..] It’s Shigesato Itoi saying “OK, desu ka?”It basically means, “Is that OK?”

  72. 72 USCHoodman

    [..YouTube..] I always thought it was OpishkopGod Earthbound’s music so unique for RPGs, but still so fresh. This game is such a gem.I really hope someday IGN puts this and Xenogears on their own list, they really extremely creative and extremely great RPGs

  73. 73 Citrangish

    [..YouTube..] Sounds like a city t’ me.

  74. 74 redmage87

    [..YouTube..] I love that he had no idea that the programmers recorded him saying, so he was shocked when he heard his voice when he play tested it.

  75. 75 tylervanbach

    [..YouTube..] Is this from the game? I didn’t know they used audio samples in SNES.

  76. 76 DigiTan000

    [..YouTube..] Hey! You may be right there!

  77. 77 SuperShadow

    [..YouTube..] I thought I heard some samples of Monty Python in one of these songs?

  78. 78 PicandPiku

    [..YouTube..] That “one guy” was actually Mr. Itoi (I forgot how to spell his first name), and apparently, he was tricked into saying it when a hidden tape recorder was present.Don’t ask me how it was put into the game, because I have no idea how they did it.

  79. 79 JesterKatz

    [..YouTube..] Lol, awesome!

  80. 80 seanileus

    [..YouTube..] This is one of the best songs in the whole game, am I right?

  81. 81 kl4969

    [..YouTube..] When I heard this song at the beginning of the game, I knew that this wouldn’t be an ordinary game.

  82. 82 Homepie

    [..YouTube..] Right at the beginning, the “static” is actually a distorted part of The Liberty Bell March, which is of course the theme of Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

  83. 83 dfire

    [..YouTube..] Itoi,please father my children.

  84. 84 Cyrx686

    [..YouTube..] Illusion was a great game too! Both good games

  85. 85 Cyrx686

    [..YouTube..] I still remember when my friend introduced this game to me many, many years ago.

  86. 86 TolaMacarino

    [..YouTube..] Tanaka sure knows his bases.

  87. 87 supermario1232

    [..YouTube..] the part when it says the war against giygas?with the picture of the ufos attacking earth

  88. 88 supermario1232

    [..YouTube..] it means ok

  89. 89 Homepie

    [..YouTube..] No, at the start of this song.

  90. 90 supermario1232

    [..YouTube..] oh the noise in the back ground

  91. 91 KKSHC

    [..YouTube..] Oh wow Homepie, I hear it! Can’t believe I never noticed that all this time…..X(

  92. 92 beachhunt

    [..YouTube..] Holy crap, I love Monty Python, and love Earthbound, and never made the connection there. Definitely hear it now that you mention it, though.

  93. 93 edge662

    [..YouTube..] OK desu ka?

  94. 94 PaperMario15

    [..YouTube..] I love 1:01.:3

  95. 95 smilyfacekilla

    [..YouTube..] yeah, best game in the snes library by far

  96. 96 piotr1265

    [..YouTube..] ale lipa 1

  97. 97 mistapig

    [..YouTube..] ME 2!!

  98. 98 seanileus

    [..YouTube..] Why the fuck does it matter, ITS FUCKIN’ EARTHBOUND!!!

  99. 99 ultimateskater1987

    [..YouTube..] I remember the first time I played earthbound, i though this song was so sick, it made me feel so happy and pumped to play the game, they did a really good job with the music in the game.

  100. 100 omgomgomgd

    [..YouTube..] Holy shit Monty Python.

  101. 101 ALUKED04

    [..YouTube..] I hope the rumor isnt true, that EarthBound wont come to VC because some of its songs are to similar to actual songs….

  102. 102 ultimateskater1987

    [..YouTube..] What song is similar to this Earthbound song?

  103. 103 ALUKED04

    [..YouTube..] Some Monty Python song…

  104. 104 DigiTan000

    [..YouTube..] Anyone remember that song for the river area between Twoson and the Happy happy village. The one with water running in the background?

  105. 105 ultimateskater1987

    [..YouTube..] I know I can’t find that song anywhere.

  106. 106 DigiTan000

    [..YouTube..] Whoa! I finally found it!Peaceful Rest Valley:watch?v=9ZXylB7bgX8

  107. 107 ultimateskater1987

    [..YouTube..] nice hahaha

  108. 108 MarioMario1009

    [..YouTube..] OMG The first part of this song sounds like the beggining of one of the songs from Monty Python!

  109. 109 Siberianhusky89

    [..YouTube..] I think it might be other factors that might be involved other than that, they recently discovered that they were mistaken about the EA rating.

  110. 110 absentamillion

    [..YouTube..] it is

  111. 111 DarkLink9393

    [..YouTube..] Twinkle Elementary.

  112. 112 tenthousandyearsgoon

    [..YouTube..] This is real JAZZ haha!

  113. 113 spanky812

    [..YouTube..] Yup it is =D

  114. 114 spanky812

    [..YouTube..] Best part starts at 1:01 =]]]]]

  115. 115 PanzerSeven

    [..YouTube..] I really appreciate someone putting up this music finally, Earthbound is one of my favorite games ever, and it had some of the best music too.

  116. 116 iceburg506

    [..YouTube..] When i first heard this music i knew this wasnt just gonna be some ordinary RPG

  117. 117 mariovssonic64

    [..YouTube..] amazing music. the noise in the very beginning is just another undescribeable sounds in the game

  118. 118 mariovssonic64

    [..YouTube..] its like some sort of circuis theme. its very unique, especially getting to name the different characters, thinking about how theyll be inflicted with the storyline. i also found it very cool when after you set everything and you start the story, you hear that odd sound getting louder, stopping, then “ow!” echoing. it sounds sorta stupid when i say it, but its very cool

  119. 119 marth231

    [..YouTube..] Sometimes in EarthBound, I’ll leave the game sit just to hear this song play.

  120. 120 Musicman510ee

    [..YouTube..] Obishka

  121. 121 scandiumtrioxide

    [..YouTube..] I always thought it was gokeska

  122. 122 BloodFalcon2k7

    [..YouTube..] haha I believe its “OK desu ka?”

  123. 123 darkangelsv1

    [..YouTube..] Kinda reminds me of the chocobo theme for some reason…

  124. 124 FailProofFrank

    [..YouTube..] Lol…i always thought it said “Ok Scott”…lol…

  125. 125 Marpharrore

    [..YouTube..] I love this music so much. So much. SO MUCH. It just has this inexplicable….really…GOOD feel to it, as well as a powerful load of nostalgia. I’ve always loved that city-like chattering clip they play in the beginning…Also, I always thought that the voice clip they played when you named a person sounded like “FUNKYSKUNK?”

  126. 126 Thefamusgrouse

    [..YouTube..] Here some trivia for y’all. This is actually the Intro Theme to Monty Python’s Flying Circus played at different speeds.

  127. 127 returnofyesman

    [..YouTube..] same

  128. 128 meekhead2

    [..YouTube..] bookashka?

  129. 129 stankyrearend

    [..YouTube..] i thought i was pokaska or something. what the hell was he saying!!!

  130. 130 TAUN170

    [..YouTube..] Me too.

  131. 131 InfernusMan1986

    [..YouTube..] I do not hear the similaraties to the song. I don’t even like the monty python song and I love this song. Fuck all those idiots that compare this song with the monty pyhton one. Even if their the same somehow who cares a lot of songs are the same. Now all this stupid shit is happening cause some people think that they took monty pythons song.

  132. 132 SonNeoKaku

    [..YouTube..] OK desu ka?

  133. 133 Iampigmask

    [..YouTube..] THANK YOU.Too bad nintendo could STILL get sued..

  134. 134 distr0ia

    [..YouTube..] it’s not just a similarity. there is a bonafied recorded sound sample taken directly from Monty Python’s theme song that is used in this trackthis is the least of their problems, though…I don’t think the original song is owned by Python and could be public domain for all I know. the real reason we won’t see this on the VCon outside Japan is the numerous samples and references regarding The Beatles

  135. 135 Iampigmask

    [..YouTube..] I lol’d at the -1sI GUESS PEOPLE DON”T LIKE OPINIONS eeerrrAnyway I like this song it’s teh best sawg eavr!!!

  136. 136 Iampigmask

    [..YouTube..] True…but it’s like nintendo toke the song and called it their own right?…Or did they?

  137. 137 redmage87

    [..YouTube..] Hilarious Story:The “OK desu ka?” is the voice of the guy who made Earthbound. However, the staff programmers recorded him saying it one day and put it in without him knowing. When he first play tested the game, it scared the crap out of him when he heard his own voice pop up.

  138. 138 Highstar25

    [..YouTube..] lol

  139. 139 AssonantalZ

    [..YouTube..] The theme song to Monty Python’s Flying Circus is called “Liberty Bell” by John Philip Sousa. This song bears no similarity to it whatsoever…It is true that Earthbound as a whole bears many references to pop culture, though, but this song is far from putting Nintendo in any sort of danger.

  140. 140 nathanthend

    [..YouTube..] That’s not a simularity, sounds like it’s a very short sample. Sounds beat up though.

  141. 141 saturnmason

    [..YouTube..] I hear Monty Python.

  142. 142 saturnmason

    [..YouTube..] True.

  143. 143 eggbandicoot6

    [..YouTube..] well at 1:01 i hear some diddy kong racing

  144. 144 SmithSmithery

    [..YouTube..] ‘Ok desu ka? ‘Itoi himself is saying that.

  145. 145 Andrewxx20

    [..YouTube..] Haha me to intel i learned japanese and played, and heard Ok desu ka

  146. 146 Andrewxx20

    [..YouTube..] OMFG dude.. thats so fucken funny im laughing so hard… when i said it out loud i was like it does sound like ok desu kaso pro dude, made my day Thumbs up

  147. 147 FailProofFrank

    [..YouTube..] lol…yeah…i could never learn why it was saying “ok scott” at the time…lol…

  148. 148 FailProofFrank

    [..YouTube..] Yeah to all you people saying this sounds like the Flying Circus…i just looked up the theme…and this sounds nothing like it…

  149. 149 Komikmaker

    [..YouTube..] that game came out after this one

  150. 150 extremejon

    [..YouTube..] Listen to the static in the intro. It is definitely Flying Circus

  151. 151 FailProofFrank

    [..YouTube..] Actually now that you point out just the static…it does kinda sound like monty python…but the music isnt owned by them because it was directed by that John Phillips Sousa guy…

  152. 152 eggbandicoot6

    [..YouTube..] i know, but it sounds similar regardless

  153. 153 Komikmaker

    [..YouTube..] true, it does

  154. 154 Siberianhusky89

    [..YouTube..] Ah, another reason for me to start the as fast as possible, but I must admit, after all that opening stuff, it’s just a plainer simple thing that sounds better but not that great and takes too damned long to get to a better part then loops “-_-

  155. 155 AkumaUchitoru

    [..YouTube..] Repetive music isn’t always bad if it’s good music…

  156. 156 Yoshimad123

    [..YouTube..] Does anyone hear a voice in the part with the noise that sounds like seagulls?I wonder what that voice is saying.

  157. 157 gamer4567

    [..YouTube..] To me it says: “You killed them”.

  158. 158 Yoshimad123

    [..YouTube..] 0_0It does as well!Oh man, that’s creepy…

  159. 159 alexcarter12

    [..YouTube..] Ok desu ka?

  160. 160 parabola7

    [..YouTube..] MEMORIES FROM CHILDHOOD! :D

  161. 161 JVandyy

    [..YouTube..] 1:00= Amazing. That is the sound of Nostalgia. : D

  162. 162 RaptorJesus04

    [..YouTube..] Favorite Music. I don’t know why. I just liked waiting to name my characters and then seeing them jump in the air. Love the expression on their face.

  163. 163 chainplate

    [..YouTube..] I’ll cherish this my whole life

  164. 164 edge662

    [..YouTube..] Thats actually the opening theme with the horns from Monty Python’s Flying Circus. I think. Thats what I have heard.

  165. 165 Rinsuka

    [..YouTube..] This is my ringer on my phone ^_^ i love it!

  166. 166 BPhoenixProductions

    [..YouTube..] Why does the intro always remind me of Prodigy?

  167. 167 BPhoenixProductions

    [..YouTube..] I find it sad that people mark good comments such as the one I am replying to as spam.Retards.

  168. 168 mopingskull

    [..YouTube..] If this game had an animated series, I would use this theme after Ness and his friends made a huge accompishment in the journey just before the credits role.

  169. 169 LakituAl

    [..YouTube..] I find it sad that the “Not Spam” button doesn’t works.

  170. 170 BPhoenixProductions

    [..YouTube..] Yes, that too.

  171. 171 ZantovanGillie

    [..YouTube..] I heard it, too!IT’S…!

  172. 172 masterlee93

    [..YouTube..] 1:00-:131 & 2:32-3:02 are the best parts! :D

  173. 173 xenowing85

    [..YouTube..] 16bit music at its best!

  174. 174 Matsudaimaru

    [..YouTube..] Yeah, I actually just noticed it now. I can’t believe I didn’t before.

  175. 175 francoboy100

    [..YouTube..] lucky

  176. 176 Aaronthereal1

    [..YouTube..] 0:00 to 3:11 was the best part

  177. 177 Diamondkid777

    [..YouTube..] Me: my name? * presses dont care button* Game: *names someone pussy*Me: Goddammit >=(

  178. 178 Legalus240

    [..YouTube..] If it was an animated series, and you never heard of the game, that would be kinda awkward.

  179. 179 onetthome

    [..YouTube..] best RPG ever made.

  180. 180 Siberianhusky89

    [..YouTube..] If this was 16bit music at it’s best… I’d be very very disappointed…

  181. 181 Denthedragon

    [..YouTube..] Please name him

  182. 182 AkumaUchitoru

    [..YouTube..] This is one of the best songs in the game imo. :)

  183. 183 NPJPKelso

    [..YouTube..] why do you gotta be a fucking ass hole…no one gives a damn what you have to say…and you can’t be the polite person and shut the hell up…but whatever keep being an ass so you can keep getting remarks out of us.

  184. 184 Siberianhusky89

    [..YouTube..] Actually, I’ve had quite a few people who are actually willing to hear me out and even agreed with me. All you did was insult me which doesn’t make you look any smarter friend. What I mean is, if you have something to say, at least let it be useful or a kind disagreement stating “I disagree, here is my reason why.” Anyhow, if you’re upset, I apologize for making you so, however, you must learn to handle it better as well, alright? Have a nice one

  185. 185 raymanfan01

    [..YouTube..] who is it that sits in the machine? (A little of topic but i want to know)

  186. 186 Siberianhusky89

    [..YouTube..] According to someone I talked to on here, it’s Ness’s reflection on the Starman’s visor.

  187. 187 SkellionPowalskiz

    [..YouTube..] people are such assholes, who cares if the game references the yellow submarine, has monty pythons song in it, and has a diamond dog?seriously, the game is pure genius, and its one of the greatest games ever made by nintendo, what kind of fuckhole would ruin its chances of making a comeback just because they feel like getting butthurt over something that happened years ago?sue-happy brats, crying about your song being talked about isnt relevant or worth talking about, it pisses me off

  188. 188 jsps13

    [..YouTube..] If I was one of the artists featured in this game I would be honored to be a part of such an entertaining experience!It is a work of art, this game!

  189. 189 Landmark356

    [..YouTube..] That’s one of the reasons why I LOVE this game. It’s so Americana and has a lot of pop-culture references (mostly to music). I’m not a big RPG fan because I’m not into wizards and magic and all that stuff but Earthbound is one of the best games I have ever played. I think Nintendo should do parodies and pop-culture references in another game.

  190. 190 SedInNomineDei

    [..YouTube..] Hi i’m looking for a song from this game.. you can hear it entering in some kind of bar or whatever.. I can’t remember exactly ’cause i played the game a long time ago.. But it was a real sad and sweet music, i think that’s the only place where you can hear it.. if someone could help me i’d be really happy.. I’ve been searching for it but i couldn’t find it.

  191. 191 itskaaaaaate

    [..YouTube..] was it jackie’s cafe in fourside? the place where you went when everything became moonside? i think there was some weird music in there, but i’m not sure if that’s where you mean/where to find it so i don’t know if i’m a huge help.

  192. 192 SedInNomineDei

    [..YouTube..] Uhm the music wasn’t weird at all, it sounded like played on an (synthetized) acoustic guitar, it was rather calm and melanchonic, but very sweet.. but i don’t know what you mean by weird.. Besides, i’ll try to find the one you talk about, you never know.. Thank you : )

  193. 193 itskaaaaaate

    [..YouTube..] the music in jackie’s cafe is very melancholic & detached i think (saying “weird” was a bad description on my part) so maybe it’s what you’re looking for? good luck!

  194. 194 PKjerky

    [..YouTube..] People. Did YOU ever cried with the game that’s made at 1995 with a boy with red cap? I you are not. You are NOT a human. KIDS,ADULTS AND EVEN YOUNG WOMEN - MOTHER 2

  195. 195 mhaze210

    [..YouTube..] I gota admit…sometimes i would play this game ONLY to hear this song again..especially at 01:00 and after. And now it just takes me way back.Now the beats remind me of some good A Tribe Called Quest stuff..but mainly just remembering how this game was like escapism as a kid.Just to see how much games have changed. I was 9yrs old when this came out…damn. kinda feels like yesterday.

  196. 196 megamannt125

    [..YouTube..] They already have, go check out mother 1 and Mother 3 (in case you didn’t know, Earthbound in japan is called Mother 2)

  197. 197 MEGAGUY21

    [..YouTube..] earthbound…i always hear about itbut had no means to play it…until i got a illuminater and play the rom weirdest, yeah most enjoyable games i played in quite some time.

  198. 198 modshroom

    [..YouTube..] 1:00

  199. 199 zooyorkchild45

    [..YouTube..] I kno man I know 1:00

  200. 200 TheTruBluRage

    [..YouTube..] Jesus Christ, this guy gave me nightmares.

  201. 201 xTheNumber32

    [..YouTube..] OK ‘Ssuka?

  202. 202 Cancoria

    [..YouTube..] This is such a great song. Got some fresh beats.That guys scares me, however…

  203. 203 gaminggoddess85

    [..YouTube..] It’s “OK desu ka?”

  204. 204 xTheNumber32

    [..YouTube..] No.

  205. 205 lolmaster4

    [..YouTube..] Yes it is. He’s just saying it weirdly (accent? abbrevation?)

  206. 206 LordJimmy

    [..YouTube..] OK DESU KA

  207. 207 SlySavvy

    [..YouTube..] Lmao, wow, he is saying “name please” in the beat. I just noticed this. XD

  208. 208 mhaze210

    [..YouTube..] ive always loved hip hop…so as a kid i LOVED this beat…it just sounded so funky..and the intro sounded like something MF Doom or De La Soul would rhyme over lol.and my FAV PART has always been 01:00 to 01:51.OH MY…the nostalgic feeling it gives is incredible!!!

  209. 209 randomfan1

    [..YouTube..] Ok dude, skat?

  210. 210 mmkirby001

    [..YouTube..] how is this game k-a

  211. 211 randomfan1

    [..YouTube..] What do you mean by that?

  212. 212 mmkirby001

    [..YouTube..] the game is a very strange

  213. 213 starfoxhero

    [..YouTube..] i love it!so catchy! :D

  214. 214 xoxoxLatia

    [..YouTube..] lol

  215. 215 PhoenixRage07

    [..YouTube..] 1:01-1:31That has to be my favorite part, for sure.I love that part, but a lotta people have already named their character by then, so a lotta people miss out on it. But I didn’t!

  216. 216 lostenheart

    [..YouTube..] I remember when the game (actually one of Jeff’s best friends) called you and asked your own name. This song included.I spent over half an hour on writing it because the music was just too awesome to skip a second time!

  217. 217 Airking4321

    [..YouTube..] MONTY PYTHON’S FLYING CIRCUS.*gets splatted by foot*

  218. 218 Luigis1upstand

    [..YouTube..] O_o

  219. 219 starfoxhero

    [..YouTube..] how does this relate to monty python? =P

  220. 220 Airking4321

    [..YouTube..] don’t you hear the monty python fanfare intro in the background on the first 20 seconds?

  221. 221 starfoxhero

    [..YouTube..] mmm i guess i do =P

  222. 222 Phoenix507

    [..YouTube..] Ok desu ka?XD Whoever recorded Itoi’s voice deserves a medal.

  223. 223 mastercaptainevan

    [..YouTube..] 27,00th viewer.

  224. 224 mastercaptainevan

    [..YouTube..] I mean 27,000th viewer. That’s better.

  225. 225 TMF58

    [..YouTube..] This song is freaking amazing. Too bad the sample is unliscensed though, that is one of the reasons why it isn’t on VC already.NOJ should just remove the sample, and then we would all be happy.

  226. 226 mariovssonic64

    [..YouTube..] this isnt monty pythons flying circus, sounds nothing like it. do your research

  227. 227 tree2992

    [..YouTube..] that sounds like generic crowd murmur to me

  228. 228 Airking4321

    [..YouTube..] yeah, it is.its the background noise in the first 19 seconds, not the murmur noise, the trumpet-y background music that gets slowed down even more every time its played. click on the monty link to the side and listen, then listen to the beginning of this song and you’ll hear it.do YOUR research.

  229. 229 TMF58

    [..YouTube..] What is that voice saying in the beginning?It sounds like it is saying “woo hoo”

  230. 230 AkumaUchitoru

    [..YouTube..] Yeah, this sounds strange yet super awesome for naming character music.

  231. 231 fireluigi12

    [..YouTube..] *click**click**click**click**click**click**click**click**click* OK desu ka? *click**click**click**click**click**click* OK desu ka?*click**click**click**click**click* OK desu ka? *click**click**click**click**click* WOW!!!

  232. 232 Chamillionare64

    [..YouTube..] 1:01 Sounds like Ristar : D

  233. 233 mongoose100989

    [..YouTube..] this game was so cool. there were tons of rpgs all the same then and this game was like none of them.going through all the cities made me feel like I was leaving home which would have been great @ 9 years old.

  234. 234 chrisharden13

    [..YouTube..] The theme is pretty much getting you into the beat of the music to make you really think about what your characters names are and your personality. Hearing this theme makes me feel really happy about myself.

  235. 235 MiSha400

    [..YouTube..] Does he say “infinity”?

  236. 236 Gaomon752

    [..YouTube..] that guy in the song is Saying Your Ticket

  237. 237 Andrewstubeaccount3

    [..YouTube..] your a faggot

  238. 238 Vectorben

    [..YouTube..] You do your research you OBVIOUSLY didn’t research!

  239. 239 chrisharden13

    [..YouTube..] Whats you point?

  240. 240 sirsmokesalot777

    [..YouTube..] actually fellas the man is sayin yo’s trul-ey. You know when you sign your name on a card, some put yours truly. Your ticket?! (i mean seriously???.

  241. 241 Andrewstubeaccount3

    [..YouTube..] what are you fucking stupid? YOUR A FAGGOT did you not get the point of 3 words? Who the fuck gets an erection and post something so gay7 like “this video game makes me feel really Gud…’ lol you fucking nerd

  242. 242 ponyseizure

    [..YouTube..] This video games make me feel really good… EMOTIONALLY, DUMBASS!

  243. 243 chrisharden13

    [..YouTube..] Yeah im a nerd lol so what? Do you get off to calling people faggot’s or nerds? Got any more because I am known as 2 of those things can you find any others bro? :P

  244. 244 NewPorkCity1

    [..YouTube..] Dude, seriously, what’s your problem? All he did was say he like’s the song.

  245. 245 lovelydarkness333

    [..YouTube..] You know. I’ve been feeling extremely down this week and today I was thinking… What makes me happy and chill out? Earthbound! That is my ultimate feel good game. But I made the mistake of reading the comments on here and all the shitty things people say to each other on this site, period…

  246. 246 mariovssonic64

    [..YouTube..] it sounds nothing like monty python, just listen to it! not even a little bit in the backround

  247. 247 Vectorben

    [..YouTube..] Look it up, just look it up don’t talk to me

  248. 248 mariovssonic64

    [..YouTube..] what kind of response is that :/ i would have researched it obviously to know that it doesnt sound like the monty python theme!and by the way, if you dont want to participate in an arguement:1. dont start one2.dont reply to someone3.dont act like you can just disagree with something and have it automatically be true

  249. 249 Vectorben

    [..YouTube..] DUDE LISTEN CLOSELYThey used the FANFARE so you can’t here it really

  250. 250 mariovssonic64

    [..YouTube..] monty python doesnt have a fanfare :/

  251. 251 Quenton305

    [..YouTube..] That Sound When You Press Ok Its Sounds Like Puska.. xD

  252. 252 zooyorkchild45

    [..YouTube..] i know feel the same way here bro its pretty pityful man if you ask me earthbound is so awesome man , its story is imppecable its also very touching too

  253. 253 Airking4321

    [..YouTube..] If you ABSOLUTLY LOVE THIS SONG type in “keep it short”its an extremely catchy and great version of this song from bound together.also on the side: When you hear this song, and figure out that its just a NAMING THEME,you know this is gonna be one hell of a adventure.

  254. 254 TheShoe1990

    [..YouTube..] wow dude, i’m feeling the exact same way. this week has been pretty dull & Earthbound always cheers me up. Ignore all this blathering & let’s just enjoy our childhood memories :)

  255. 255 kingwalrus64

    [..YouTube..] Thumbs up if you can hear the Monty Python theme.

  256. 256 MiSha400

    [..YouTube..] I like this version better.

  257. 257 MiSha400

    [..YouTube..] I sounds like okaske xDD

  258. 258 Airking4321

    [..YouTube..] i like both

  259. 259 BizzarreProductions

    [..YouTube..] X3 It IS the Monty Python Theme! (I’m actually having a hard time hearing the Earthbound song because I’m too busy focusing on the trumpets)For all of those who don’t hear it: Go to the Monty Python theme video. (it’s under the related videos) It’s the part from 0:10 to 0:12. :)

  260. 260 Edsgravy0

    [..YouTube..] It’s tough to notice at firstBut once your ears pick up that Monty Python theme, you’ll never ever unhear it

  261. 261 TwosComplement

    [..YouTube..] You are correct, I just recognized it today. I hope it doesn’t ruin the song for me -_-

  262. 262 sjefkees

    [..YouTube..] God, that’s annoying! Wish I never heard it! Respect for Keiichi to use this in a song though, sounds like him. You should check the band he leads nowadays, it’s called “Captain HATE and the Seasick Sailors”. Just as weird as the Earthbound OST if you ask me..

  263. 263 Andrewxx20

    [..YouTube..] @MiSha400 its ok desuka :P

  264. 264 IAMTOADMAN

    [..YouTube..] the song may not resemble monty python, but you can hear a sample of it at the beginning

  265. 265 genowhril809

    [..YouTube..] wanna know what really brings my piss to a boil?earthbound wont be realeased on the vc because of some monty phyton shit yet runescape,the worst fucking computer game around,can get off with a monty phyton refrence and not get sued or any of that shit.

  266. 266 777RandomDude777

    [..YouTube..] At least you can alway get the game on the internet…Along with a perfect translation of Mother 1 and 3 and in some months, a worthy Mother 4 fan game XD

  267. 267 TheCrimsonVanguard

    [..YouTube..] I know right! It really pisses me off that some POS online game apparently gets more attention then one of the all time greatest games. I say we petition its re-release? I’d sign that! I’d sign it and give each petitioner a brawndo

  268. 268 Highstar25

    [..YouTube..] runescape was one of the most popular adventure games in it’s time, I expect you just dislike the genre, besides its a PC/playstation game so it isn’t under nintendo’s jurisdiction… also one of the monty python actors voiced rincewind, so he’s certainly allowed to parody HIS OWN SHOW

  269. 269 neptronix

    [..YouTube..] Someone please tell me..It sounds like the voice sample in the background is saying ‘you’re stupid’.Is that what it’s saying?

  270. 270 ssw11

    [..YouTube..] Nope, not Monty Python.Alright, remember Dali’s Clock in moonside sidem oonsi de moon?Well yeah, google The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dalí. That’s the reason it isn’t on VC.

  271. 271 GodzillahGodzilla

    [..YouTube..] hey, somthing ive always been wondering, after you type stuff in, what does that guy say? is it japanese? it sounds like “focus-card” to me. please reply with your answer or theories!btw this song is the shit.

  272. 272 WHATISUTUBE

    [..YouTube..] Look it up on wikipedia. Its something the game creator said that was recorded and used in MOTHER 2 and 3. Yes, it is Japanese.

  273. 273 dumbasspauldentonkin

    [..YouTube..] He says “OK Desu Ka?”Pronounced “OK ska”Means “Is that okay?”

  274. 274 GodzillahGodzilla

    [..YouTube..] @dumbasspauldentonkin interesting, thanks.

  275. 275 starfoxhero

    [..YouTube..] Oh so that’s what it is! Thanks! haha

  276. 276 UltamiteLifeForm360

    [..YouTube..] I’m playing Earthbound right now:Shawn (me)=NessSarah=PaulaGerad (Gerald)=JeffIzzy=PooBoo=KingPizza=Steak (???)Gaming=Rockin

  277. 277 bigcritic69

    [..YouTube..] 1:07-1:30 is why I love this song!

  278. 278 Sectorsophia

    [..YouTube..] @GodzillahGodzilla I always thought it said Okay-Scott. But now that I think about it… What does that even mean! lol

  279. 279 scrimpeh

    [..YouTube..] I always heard something like “Po-ke-ska” or something.Dunno what that would be supposed to mean.

  280. 280 shujinco2

    [..YouTube..] It’s Itoi’s own voice, saying OK in japanese. Funny thing is, he didn’t even know they recorded his voice.

  281. 281 MrChidna

    [..YouTube..] OK, Desu Ka?Means, “Is this/it OK?” in Japanese.The sound is actually recorded from Shigesato Itoi, the creator of the Earthbound/Mother series.

  282. 282 TekmonX

    [..YouTube..] Fun = Rockin :PPSI FUN -does 50 game- ^^

  283. 283 UltamiteLifeForm360

    [..YouTube..] PSI Gaming β!

  284. 284 dylstew

    [..YouTube..] PSI GAMING ALPHA!

  285. 285 BushidoMH

    [..YouTube..] There are some tunes in this world that you can’t help but shuffle your shoulders to… this is one of them!!

  286. 286 yottanuclei

    [..YouTube..] i chose “LVLUP” but i didnt know it was to be an atack’s name. Later on when ness learnt it i was like WTF, AN ATTACK THAT LEVELS HIM UP EVERY TIME?!?

  287. 287 IAMMILITRON

    [..YouTube..] And now for something, completely different.

  288. 288 PuffyTopianMan

    [..YouTube..] 0:10 - 0:12 is that in this video or the Monty Python video? Because all I hear there is crowd chatters.

  289. 289 enclosedinstructions

    [..YouTube..] What monty python shit, exactly? I don’t remember a reference to it in this game.

  290. 290 TheJeffster23

    [..YouTube..] I got this game for Christmas.Mom and Dad, you are the most awesome parents ever.

  291. 291 mrdansoko

    [..YouTube..] @TheJeffster23 Give them both big, big hugs

  292. 292 TheJeffster23

    [..YouTube..] Oh I did, I did.

  293. 293 picklebond157

    [..YouTube..] @Sectorsophia well my name is scott so that makes it kinda funny

  294. 294 bazboyd44

    [..YouTube..] I WANT THIS SO BAD!!!

  295. 295 future4zinc

    [..YouTube..] this game was so underrated it’s really sad I thought it was great.

  296. 296 mobile513

    [..YouTube..] Dude, so’s mine! Not that I thought the game was especially made for me, but I always felt like it was saying that, and thought it was super cool. I wondered what was really up with it, it couldn’t be saying my name, could it? I know now it’s Japanese, but I’m glad to know somebody not named Scott thought the same thing and I wasn’t just a little 11 year old ego maniac.

  297. 297 picklebond157

    [..YouTube..] lol!

  298. 298 mrserjmalakian

    [..YouTube..] People say this is supposed to sound like monty python, I dont hear it, can someone point it out?

  299. 299 ultimatechimera11

    [..YouTube..] What is the guy saying?I have always wondered…

  300. 300 paceetrate

    [..YouTube..] I think the voice used in the actual music is just sampled gibberish. If it’s not gibberish, it’s distorted so much it’s impossible to tell what he’s saying. :PBut if you mean the voice that pops up when you enter in a name, it’s “Ok desu ka” really fast. XD

  301. 301 Amphibimew

    [..YouTube..] for the beginning 20 seconds of this you can hear the first few seconds of monty python replayed at different speeds

  302. 302 ultimatechimera11

    [..YouTube..] oh thanks x)Yeah i guess it is just gibberish…I knew what the “ok desu ka” was though. (I love that!). :D

  303. 303 Loradreamx

    [..YouTube..] Bah,what nostalgia <3

  304. 304 girrocks12

    [..YouTube..] even the naming your character screen has kick ass music.That shows how much effort they put into this game

  305. 305 AkumaUchitoru

    [..YouTube..] I think it’s saying “Your Name Please” or “Please Name Them”, referring to the title.

  306. 306 HomnisNoctrnia

    [..YouTube..] My name is Ness

  307. 307 luvguy3122

    [..YouTube..] I always thought he said something like oh that’s good really fast

  308. 308 Porygon64

    [..YouTube..] Okay desu~Me:What?

  309. 309 Conner3326

    [..YouTube..] 1:00 is awesome

  310. 310 AirplaneBandit

    [..YouTube..] @Conner3326 My favorite part

  311. 311 TheBlazingInferno513

    [..YouTube..] This brings me back to my(dumb a** of a question) question about how it says you’re real name at the end of the game… The only reason I posted this stupid comment was because it has been forever since I have played the game and don’t really want to play through all of it again. The closest thing I can do is read through that oddly made book it shows on the cover of the case.

  312. 312 BewareTheCreeper

    [..YouTube..] Hrrm. Sounds like music from Toejam and Earl

  313. 313 CherryLugia300

    [..YouTube..] I once named the dog “Boner”Didn’t know it was a bad word back then…Good times, good times XD

  314. 314 famartz11

    [..YouTube..] @TheBlazingInferno513 Tony calls you in the middle of the game for your name. The game asks a second time after you give the shyness book to the tenda chief.

  315. 315 Tranzlater

    [..YouTube..] Actually, I think he’s saying “Name Please”, but it is very fuzzy.

  316. 316 Kevo285

    [..YouTube..] This sounds so cool

  317. 317 ultimatechimera11

    [..YouTube..] That’s actually what I have always thought! But it’s really hard to tell…

  318. 318 Valstrath

    [..YouTube..] OKESHKA ?

  319. 319 iamthepaaanda

    [..YouTube..] this is a really fun song to play in a full band style. it’s so damn funky.

  320. 320 TheBlazingInferno513

    [..YouTube..] Thanks for letting me know.

  321. 321 Porygon64

    [..YouTube..] @TheBlazingInferno513 In Summers,Tony calls you and asks foor YOUR name(Yes,you!Holding the controller)Then in Tenda, a little errr…Tendan asks if you really do perfer that name….Then the ****ing cameraman comes down…>_>

  322. 322 SedInNomineDei

    [..YouTube..] At last, I found the song! It’s called “Bed and Breakfast” and can be heard after each time you sleep in a hotel!

  323. 323 Gytar7007

    [..YouTube..] @iamthepaaanda Have you ever gotten an ensemble together to pull it off? I think that would be really kickass to throw down in the middle of a set!

  324. 324 Nintendavin

    [..YouTube..] The music in this game alone should be enough for anyone to want it.

  325. 325 iamthepaaanda

    [..YouTube..] @ Gytar7007well, i was in a band for a while with my brother and 2 of my friends, and we’re all big nerds, so we’re all real familiar with earthbound. we never played it live, just kinda messed around with it in practice. we don’t really play together anymore, so it’s not very likely that we’ll play it again =(

  326. 326 CherryLugia300

    [..YouTube..] Ok Desu Ka?

  327. 327 MuddyMondayTV

    [..YouTube..] Just wanted to say I love this song, what a great way to start the game. I’m still waiting for Earthbound 64 …Recently I sequenced THIS SONG in GarageBand and did a remix with Nas vocals, take a look at my channel if you’re interested

  328. 328 ShinkaHentai

    [..YouTube..] Thats sawtooth waves in action bud. They are what make certain songs grab your brain; every song with a hook that stays in your brain for days has them.

  329. 329 ShinkaHentai

    [..YouTube..] open up the spc in winamp with snesamp and mute out all channels but 6, That is all channel 6 is for in the beginning of the song is the monty python clip. once I heard this I now can’t stop hearing the damn thing it’s so annoying, mixing synth pop with marching band music that doesn’t match the beat…

  330. 330 mford1996

    [..YouTube..] This song always makes me want to play some more! :D

  331. 331 Tikku4ever
