David Letterman Using 2 Robotech Songs In a Row

[aedwardsss]

He did it again tonight!!! January 12, 2012!!!

[cinephilia7]

That is hilarious! I assume the music is public domain? It's really sharp music that they can probably use for free.

[Wildknife]

its okay cool if they are fans... if there not... -.- burn them with fire....until they are fans

[jannecechmanek]

Correction three Robotech songs.

1. Private Time

2. Minmei's theme (I think)

3. The SDF-1

[spacetownman]

Again... WTH??

[Temayuka]

lmao i totally wasn't expecting obama in a pantsuit XD...i really like how they use the robotech songs...brings back memories...even though i wasn't born then...

[luchovemo]

what is the protoculture?

[Sybawave]

Lmfao, ok, other than the obvious George W Bush song, what was the other one? When they were talking about Obama right?

[JAIstarkillerkid]

I completely forgot about Dave's show doing this. I caught the Robotech BGM in there a few times (either that or I just saw it re-run a few times.

You dipshits actually complaining about it have to the lamest example of dweeb imaginable. Go poor yourself some Captain Crunch and watch an episode of Dragon Ball Z.

[AlcoholicMB]

Holy shit, I have new found respect for David Letterman now.

[Dtitilator]

Why are you guys complaining about him using robotech music? You should thank him that this show appreciates your music. Other shows won't even give a damn about your geeky music.

[InternationalBoy]

Letterman rules, Viva La Robotech.

[christyannec]

i cant belive he used robotech music! he is a noob retard!

[Michaelcarroll1]

omg he is such a loser has to use good robotech music on a dumb show

[ellnats]

that basterd stealing from robotech his ass id way over due for death and its mine

[leadspot]

when they show obama in hilary clinton's body, that's a soundtrack from robotech too, so that's makes it three actually

but, awesome, robotech soundtrack's in todays media :D

[Antebios]

Yep, 2 Robotech background musical scores on David Letterman, can't deny that. WOO-HOO!

[dealmaker007]

Elect Breetai/Exedore 2012...or face the Rain of Death! lol

[Legerine]

I think that was actually 3 bits of Robotech music there...

=^.,.^=

[Antebios]

@Legerine : Yeah, but one of those was used twice.

[dndrequiem]

@Legerine I think you're right.

[Gide0n]

I saw this live and seriously thought I was imagining things.

[jedichris8]

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO

[lazyman16]

Robin Williams likes Evangelion... Why not? :D MACROSS FTW!

[Malenock86]

HOLY SHIT!!! This is awesome!!

[fedner31]

Is this for real? If it is, it's pretty damned funny. President Obama is currently working with Germany on building the first protoculture-powered veritech fighters. They'll beginest flight early 2010.

[Phobotech]

....What!?

I hope that's true.

[wintoons]

You know what, the guy who does the music for the show must be a fan of Robotech. I mean why would they put that music on there?

[fiveoctaves]

HILARIOUS! Thanks for posting this video!!

[302MarkVII]

Actually I think it was 3 songs 1st @ 0:27 2nd @ 0:44 3rd @ 1:17

[phille22]

wtf. this isn't edited by some fan? it's original? that's awesome

[myamachina]

Well why wouldn't they use Robotech themes to describe aliens? heheheheh.

[Alonevoyager]

Ulpio Minucci was a genious!!!

[y2jon2007]

Letterman really must love ROBOTECH

[cpj1227]

I shat bricks.

[penske13]

well......whoever put the peice together either has a wicked sense of humour or doesn't have any idea at all where the music came from.

[DanHarkless]

Nice finds. :-) Pretty surreal, for those of us that have such strong associations with this music, but glad the tracks are out there bringing home the bacon for someone.

[ronquila]

Yes, they are reusing the music written by Ulpio Municci, what's the problem with it.

[Lumadil]

I can assure you its not fake, i've seen the episodes myself in re-runs. i didnt believe it either until i saw the episodes, but its true.

[WuFeiEntertainment]

Paul Shaffer is a Robotech fan, you can read about it in his profile. This is not the first time he has use music scores from the anime show

[deputyindigo]

It probably helps that the show could get the music for almost nothing in terms of licensing fees... not to mention drawing a bunch of Robotech fans who might never have paid any attention to David Letterman's show...

[totenflos]

man that was a scream...who knows who became mad for this one...

[darthexylus]

I distinctly heard three tunes. You never forget those :)

[akureee]

OH MY GOD :|

Is true :D

[DCrules07]

what 3 animes is it a parody of?

[princerei]

he's reffering to the fact that it was adapted from three different anime Robotech: The Macross Saga is Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Robotech the Masters is Super Dimension Cavalry The Southern Cross and Robotech the New Generation is Genesis Climber MOSPEADA... none of these shows are actually related and were combined together to get enough episodes for syndication in the 80s

[FrankyFes]

HERESY!!!!!

[RichterX83]

it makes sense to use Robotech music for parodies as Robotech is a parody of three animes.

[RoyalKnightVI]

No it's not, it's just a weird amalgamation of three animes so it could be aired in syndication

[RichterX83]

therefore making them a parody

[RoyalKnightVI]

Not really, as the series it was pretty heavy for a show in the States! It and Macross both serve as important landmarks in Anime history... (And Parody is 1. A work or performance that imitates another work or performance with ridicule or irony. so no Robotech is not a Parody... *sigh*

Well at least we can agree that George Lucas is crazy now...

[uclaztec2]

What made Robotech so good was that it had a song for every mood or theme you can think about.

[joel1975]

Good use of the Robotech music! lol

[rdvd7]

holy crap the rumors were true!!! i reconized them all!

[grasshopperziro]

all this music from robotech, listen at 00:30 lol. but if you cant tell at 1:18, you are NOT a robotech fan lol

[hl2tdm]

YES, WE CAN!

[MarioSupersonic]

that damned tweeker

[PhyberLogic]

I just heard some Robotech music on the new Letterman episode (01/28/08) and couldn't help but laugh.

[gordak]

so who is the robotech fan at letterman?

[SithKnightGalen]

that was great!

[rt16]

that's actually 3

during the pants suit portion slogan. that's one.

[minitstop]

Ok here's me being a nerd :p The first song at :30 is called Desolation. The second one at :45 is called Minmei's Theme and the third one at 1:18 is called SDF-1. Yes i have the entire thing collection ://///

[rt16]

that's correct.

also there is no such thing as being a nerd for liking Robotech, BECAUSE IT RULES!!!

[minitstop]

haha i know. Just being humble. I sure hope that Spidey Macguire does not fuck Robotech in the ass his movie.

[rt16]

dude, that makes me sad that he's doing that.

I just hope that they do well on the soundtrack.

[minitstop]

yeah totaly bro. I was upset at transformers when they announced it but I really liked it. I am not going to have ANY expectations for the Robotech movie. There's also that Starblazers movie which I hope comes to life. Probably an easier movie to make :p

[rt16]

I totally forgot about Starblazers. lol

[WuFeiEntertainment]

There is a little robotech in all of us :P

[nomuken1]

hahahahhahaa!

[8Revan8]

Yeaaah Robotech ruuuules! An infiltrated fan perhaps? The first one is called "Desolation" and the second is I think "Minmei's Theme". And the last one is: "SDF-1 Theme".

[ShortRoundMustdie]

He said "sure" before the applause started.

Still, cool to here RT music.

[wasrad]

haha

couldnt hear the first one but second was like OMG

[PervNerd]

i lol'd

[DanielKLew]

Thanks for another great clip of Robotech music on Letterman.
