Sonic 2 Special Edition - Let's Play!

The now-famous* end music to Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the Sega Megadrive.** This was recorded for DocFuture's wonderful Let's Play thread, in which he showcased the rare and little-known Sonic 2 Special Edition for the Sega CD/32X peripherals, and in which I totally pre-empted that literal-music-video craze.

Video by docfuture1 - and no, I don't know who those two men are.

Everyone always asks what the lyrics are to the last verse. They are thus:

Grass and they are hooted all day
(Hope no cats are eaten)
Put head in moon and call "Moomin!"
And that's our mighty day
Donkey rode on the dead
Throw your mum off a wall and a heap
The leader came home
Let's play...
Sonic 2! (Special Edition, for the Sega CD / 32X peripherals!)

The reason for that verse is as follows:

EDIT: And now everyone's started asking about the rest of the lyrics. So:

So we've reached the end and finished Sonic 2
Look at Tails in greyscale with his tiny mates
He looks quite concerned
And now he's getting his plane out as well, look
(Watch my stuff, Clucks, while I'm gone)

(Why does he need a plane?)
Off he goes then
(Hasn't he got his tails? How's he of use at all?)
Hope he's there in time
(What is the point of him?)
Sonic's gone all yellow and he's falling down...

Look at the birds behind the plane (that's a fair few Flickies)
I know a bloke who hated this
'Cause he finished it too fast
As you might have seen him claim
On Gamesmaster
But I loved it up
And the comics were good
Let's play


(For the record, I'm talking about the UK comics. They were good!)

* I mean the actual music is famous, not my version.
** yeah, MEGADRIVE.

So what is the connection between this song and doc future's thread? at the time of the LP were random people contributing sonic 2 special edition "Easter eggs", if you will? this song being one of them?

[DemonTomatoDave]

@Zeavo87 They might have been, but if they were then it wasn't a co-ordinated effort. I just loved the videos, so I decided I could give something back by doing a version of the end song. I didn't expect Docfuture to actually make a video to go with it, but he did, and it ended up as one of the Let's Play videos.

why doesnt the link in the description work even when you copy and paste it? im so curious to know the reason for that verse!!!

[DemonTomatoDave]

@Zeavo87 I don't know why it stopped working, but I've fixed it. Looks like Youtube have updated to support time indicators in youtube links, so the link in the description should take you straight to the correct bit now. Tell me if it doesn't.

I officially know this song by heart.

[Codyray1992]

Heh, his "Let's play" was pretty odd. Still kinda amusing. *slow clap*

[ProtoPanic]

I felt morally obligated to like and favorite this by the end.

[justsignmeup911]

"why does he need a plane?" lol

[ViolentGirlfriend]

I don't know where the hula-dancer segment at the end comes from, but it's probably the most homosexual thing I've ever witnessed in my entire life.

That's not a bad thing.
