Lyrics
[Carry on. Take me home! Carry on.]
Up above my tiny head a platform stares at me.
Droids above and I can move it's so surreal to see.
And just like that they start to move I shout but bubbles fire.
It's clear to me that want me gone so I'll match their desire.
I'm a cursed boy. Bubble dragon.
Crush and destroy by popping them
and I will eat all fruit and spell extend.
Crush those that stole my girlfriend.
I'm a cursed boy. Bubble dragon.
Crush and destroy by popping them
and I will eat all fruit and spell extend.
Crush those that stole my girlfriend.
[Carry on. Take me home! Carry on.]
Umbrellas teleport my heart and bring me close to you.
I just know you left your pink necklace to help me battle through.
Silver and golden doors are what keep me sane
a reminder my love's never died. O-M-G a candy cane.
I'm a cursed boy. Bubble dragon.
Crush and destroy by popping them
and I will eat all fruit and spell extend.
Crush those that stole my girlfriend.
I'm a cursed boy. Bubble dragon.
Crush and destroy by popping them
and I will eat all fruit and spell extend.
Crush those that stole my girlfriend.
I'm a cursed boy.
[Carry on. Take me home! Carry on.]
Now it is the beginning of a fantastic story.
Let us make a journey to the cave of monsters.
Good Luck!

I just realized the dad is Super Drunk. He has a cane, green clothing, and a drinking problem.

Yeah, that's exactly right. It was really neat to go through the sprite sheets and make it into a story that loops around on itself. Hope we get to do it with another game in the future :D

Will have to try this next time we play this in the arcade. Love it!
I came here expecting a fun remix of a happy song, but instead it hit me right in the feels. Very well done. This deserves a lot more views!

Totally agree, this is amazing and I still listen to it all the time. Needs way more attention.
I'm in tears for the second time today watching this video again. I know one family that just lost a mother and another that's about to, so this hits way too close to home. Beautiful work.
I keep coming back to this. An absolute masterpiece. Thank you.
I f**king love this. You guys rock.
It's a little sad that searching for this gives me IGN's reupload first. I remember listening to this in college; very good song to have playing while you work!
You are *cursed* into a dragon. Even if a bubble one, would you quest to change back?
Right in the feels

Never thought I'd like to classic Bubble Bobble theme (it's classic, but kind of irritating in a way), but this has blown me away. I've listened to it about fifty times in the past 24 hours.
You guys were the unexpected highlight of #PAXAust! You've definitly gained two dedicated fans in my wife and I. PS: Thanks for letting us gush at you (Hans) after the performance!

Amazing! The song and video brought back so many fond memories of playing Bubble Bobble for hours with my family. I am looking forward to hearing more of your stuff. Keep up the excellent work and thanks so much for sharing your work and the free download!
I wasn't prepared for that ending. Way to ambush my feels and completely demolish them.
This video took me by surprise. I came for Bubble Bobble, stayed for the feels. ;_;
Wow, this is great! Getting a real Ólafur Arnalds feel from the chorus.
Excellent work on all fronts. Fantastic!
Absolutely love what you've done here, both musically and narratively. Very touching
That's.... really heavy man. Are you OK?
hellzyeah submitted to ocr gz man.
I used to play it with my big brother. I'm crying right now...great song!!!
I really didn't expect this to work but I liked it thanks!
Love this!
Incredible. Looking forward to your next project, whatever it is.
I loved you guys at Pax! you should actually put that ending song in your show/album where you sang/danced with the winner of the game.
OCRemix was definitely right about posting this up as a great new song. Just in a nutshell, the remix of Bubble Bobble is turned into a unique song on its own that borrows from the original themes that still manages to not outright show that it is a Bubble Bobble song. The video portion was also amazing with the animation being great and the story turning pretty sad at the end. Great work on this song that draws inspiration from the original to make something very unique!
Please come back, this was beautiful.
Why isn't this on the radio?!
i feel silly cos this made me sad..great song
I love this song and the game. The video explains SO MUCH of the tone of this cover. Makes it better.
This song is extremely AMAZING!
I love this song so much! Thank you for posting this to OCRemix!
Great song! Looking forward to seeing more from you guys.
That..was beautiful
Unbelievably amazing, right in the feels :'(
I use to play bubble dragon, completed with a neighbour. Nice song given me a tear ;(

Great job, guys!
I remember this song coming out when my son was 2 :D He had to hear it every night before bed :D Now his new brother is just the same :D Please never take this down as it is timeless :D BEEEEEZ !!!
The more I listen to this, the more I get out of this. Great song!
Thank you! As if in childhood returned)
Y'know, I just realized the cartoon characters on the NES box artwork look like they were drawn by the artists from Rankin/Bass Production.
Awesome song, loved playing this game on the Commodore 64.
reminds me of my late grandfather who i miss dearly :(
This is one of the best things I have ever heard.
Sadness. Crying.
One of my favorite games of all time and what a fantastic tribute. Brought a tear to my eye
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🎧💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 Just discovered your channel after a chat with a Brisbane game developer... this is outstanding!! Delightfully retro- I had no idea there was so much depth to Bubble Bobble 😅 - very moving interpretation there!! If you're ever in Brisbane please let me know!! 😅🎧💙👍
Really liked this! :) So smooth and melodic. Keep it up :)
Awesome work!

The subplot makes the song/video for me. Without it, it's just a nostalgia song. With it, it's so much more. But, to quote another pretty good song, "It's ok to have views that are not like mine." ^^
Where did these guys go? ; - ;

Great song guys. Tho I'm prob a little late I just found this song. Only criticism here is that it was a bit repetitive, but I still enjoyed it. gj

Bubblun The game forces you to replay/repeat.

That's not exactly a good aspect of the game to compliment though. Plenty of songs already follow this formula of repeating the chorus multiple times for the sake of filling 4 minutes without introducing anything new. To compliment the replay aspect of the game isn't a good excuse as plenty of songs do this without having a source material to base off of.

Bubblun It's telling a story that mirrors what's happening in the game. All the fruit and candy? His father throwing food. His first play through that wasn't the real ending? Players have experienced that. Confronting his father to deal with the real problem is the second play through. If you look closely when the lyrics repeat there are small but relevant changes on-screen.

Emmett Turner I'm criticizing the song itself though. The song tells the same story 3 times before finally deciding to conclude. There's no variation in the song. The visuals make sense, but they're not connected to the song.
@emmettturner9452

Bubblun Right, but the song doesn't exist in a vacuum. Someone who heard it performed at PAX already expressed here that he was confused by the tone until he saw this and it's clear that this is how it was conceived. There are three endings in the game and you are told that "You Need a Friend" just like the video shows (though our protagonist interprets that differently). You don't get the best ending where you rescue your parents from an evil influence (the boss, "Super Drunk," is your parents) until you finish with that friend. When he reconciled with his father at the end, we got the third ending. It repeats specifically to progress the visual part of the story without distracting your with new lyrics that require attention. It all seems very deliberate and done to good effect.
Goddammit, I came here to enjoy some Bubble Bobble, not to feel :(
