Many people prefer to listen to this piece as it is now (I personally think the slow beat suits it very well) - but, by popular request, I'll be uploading the full-speed tempo version a little later today. ;)
This is like something you would like to wake up to on christmas morning :D this song makes me so happy, its impossible to be sad when you hear this song.
a lot of the orchestral versions of game music is poorly orchestrated.
Someday I would like a career in composition, orchestrating, conducting, and piano...and master the contrabassoon. And one of the number one things i want to do is reorchestrate and conduct the almost all of the video game music made. But the one im really looking forwards to doing is Grant Kirkhope's. He's probably one of the best living composers, and none of the original banjo kazooie music was recorded with an orchestra.
yeah, it should've been faster. It's such a fun song. It's not intended to be pretty. I think "The Raspberry Jam Band" did a better interpretation of this.
doesn't surprise me, it fits into that turn of the century street ragtime feeling. disney himself was a great music lover, and some of his top animators founded band "the firehouse five plus two" which were a popular dixieland jazz band back then. since the game version really is a fast ragtime/dixiejazz tune, it would be awesome to hear a true dixiejazz band playing this! that would be awesome.
The only thing stopping it would be Nintendo and Disney fighting over copyrights. Ironically, it's not something peoople would really recognize anyway. It's not like Mario with a paper collar and bow-tie walking down Main Street. If only this song was in the public domain...

doesn't surprise me, it fits into that turn of the century street ragtime feeling. disney himself was a great music lover, and some of his top animators founded band "the firehouse five plus two" which were a popular dixieland jazz band back then. since the game version really is a fast ragtime/dixiejazz tune, it would be awesome to hear a true dixiejazz band playing this! that would be awesome.
