Top 100 video game music: Kefka Dancing Mad #1

This is my favorite video game theme ever, Dancing Mad wich start at about 1:20.

This theme is so epic for its time, and Kefka, wow, what a villain. Think the joker from the Dark Knight but in a FF game. He's at first a general of the Empire wich was infused with Magitek, the experiment went wrong... his physical form was ok but inside he just became mad. He became a chaotic person, with utter motives and working for himself, but still under the command of the empire. He started to hate everything and everyone, and lose humanity. The end justified the means for him. Even then he was still a simple man and people just found him weird or laughable. When the opportunity to get ultimate power arrived he seized it from his master and used it to become a demi-god, and put the world in ruin...where his madness fully unfolded.

His themes represent his character perfectly, the Kefka theme just start out being funny, and shows what kind of clown he is but then it become more chaotic and shows that the man has brains and can be dangerous.
Then, Dancing Mad shows us just how powerful and dangerous he can be as a god.

Enjoy!

Finally, a list that gets it right. Nice.

can't agree with this being No.1 but I still liked since your top100 is damn good

It's strange that most of remixes of DM don't have that "roar" sound.

I have listened to your list, and I want to congrat you man. It is incredibly well created. There were some games I did not see in the list, so I will post their names so you can check them out. The soundtrack of those games deserves to be heard: Okami Super Meat Boy The Binding Of Isaac Shadow Of The Colossus System Shock 2 Extreme G Bit Trip Runner Banjo Kazooie DS Castlevania Games VVVVVV Cave Story Disasterpeace - Rise of the Obsidian Interstellar (Not videogame music, but a chiptune album)

I personally prefer Kefka's normal theme over Dancing Mad, and it probably isn't my Number 1, but I can accept it here.

@Hoidsa Holy moly, look at your name here, mister man.

What is this a playthrough without using Cure? Celes must be using Illumina, that is a lot of Magic Block.

@KittySN The first minute is great. ;)

For those who are curious, The Black Mages, a band lead by Nobuo Uematsu himself, redid many Final Fantasy songs, including this song, Dancing Mad.

It is a fantastic recreation of the original song, played with real instruments, and with a particular electric guitar addition at the end that, dare I say, puts it head and shoulders above the original.

In fact, it may just be his greatest musical accomplishment in his entire life. IMO of course.

I think some people listened to the first minute? Not even the song... :p
