The way that Shadow is mixed as if he's whispering directly into your children's ears when they are most likely forced to listen through headphones is perfect fodder for some kind of analogue horror series. Maybe there's something out there with a similar concept, but there's so much social commentary to be mined in looking back to an era where there was a mass hysteria about hidden messages in rock music corrupting children and teenagers, only for it to happen through a series of novelty records that exist solely to cash in on something popular with kids.

“she took the kids”

Pauline being a name in the DK Record is extra interesting, because it might be one of the earliest times she's actually called that, instead of Lady, in 1982. Likely not the first, but before it was standardized- like the reverse of a Sally (as Flicky Names were not standardized for Sonic).

Pac-Man’s narration on the first record scares me. It’s the kind of fear I felt as a child digging through my Grandparents old toy closet and suddenly finding a creepy old doll. It’s a cruel nostalgia for something I never experienced.

“Mario Delivers” is misleading given the context of the album. Mario cooks the pizza, Pauline is the one who delivers it. I know I’m nitpicking but they literally state it at the beginning of the record and it’s all I can think about.

I have a record from this label in my collection that I found in a 99 cent bin at a record store, it's all about stranger danger. If I remember correctly it's just a guy acting out various creepy things a stranger could say to a kid in a stereotypical creepy voice to a generic 80's sounding backtrack, then a female voice says something like "now what do we say in this situation?" and the music pauses for a crowd of kids to shout "NO!!!" then the music starts again and they do another one. One that I remember specifically was like "heyyy come check out my new camera. Sayyy, you're such a pretty little lady, how 'bout you pose for some pictures for me?" Very bizarre stuff.

@NinetailsNineLives

5 ай бұрын

WOAH! dude٫ that's creepy.

I think I vaguely why the opening and closing Pac-Man themes sound so detuned. It sounds like the synthesizer used for this record was 'monophonic', which means it's unable to generate more than one 'voice' (sound) at the same time. In short, the only way to play more than one note together was to program the synthesizer to play multiple pitches with every key press. The theme seems to be going for a ragtime-piano jazz type style, which - as you might imagine - requires the use of frequent and changing chords. But these are no ordinary chords: rather than being simultaneous, notes are often 'rolled' by pressing fingers onto the keybed in sequence (think a finger-based mexican wave, but going down instead of up) , meaning that the notes would not start together and the programming solution I mentioned beforehand would not work. There are many techniques you can use to make up for a lack of available 'voices'. The cheapest and easiest one (and the one they seemed to use on this record) is to create the illusion of chords by rapidly playing one chord note at a time (usually ascending in pitch). You may remember this technique being used in the soundtracks of many NES games. But those usually sound alright. And you would thing rapidly switching between chord notes fits hand-in-hand (pardon the pun) with the 'rolling' motion I mentioned earlier. So what's wrong? Well many synthesizers have a capability called 'portamento', which makes it so that instead of each keypress starting a new pitch from scratch, the pitch of the previous note instead 'slides' up or down to match the pitch of the new note. This helps for imitating instruments like strings or woodwinds. For some ungodly reason, whoever programmed the synthesizers on this record decided to play rolled piano chords this way (maybe to simulate the out-of-tune sound of an old piano?). Not only that, but the portamento time is set so slow that by the time the pitch reaches its intended value, the note is almost done. So it is true that analog synthesizers (especially old ones) are prone to detuning due to issues such as overheating. But I don't think that's the problem here. *The problem is that, for so much of the time the synth is playing, the notes are literally wrong because it's taking its sweet time to get to the right ones.*

Yes she did. “Strawberry’s Shortcake Live” was the worst album of its time. No audience, just in the studio. She did bad covers of “New York, New York” and “Celebration”, and “Strawberry Rap” was the bottom of the barrel. She was referring to as “Big Apple City” from the TV special named after the nickname of New York City. Today a new series “Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City” follows the actual plot.

ok but now I need a small community theater to put these on as stage musicals asap

I love nothing more on this earth than seeing people become fascinated with some weird, confusing, and hyper-specific thing. Thankyou for sharing this with us it's amazing vbfhdnskl

i'm 5 minutes in and have already had to pause the video several times because of how viscerally horrible these songs are. i love it

finally someone who's as obsessed with kid stuff records as i am!!! it was so fun to be on the recieving end for once lol. as i only collect the raggedy ann ones (and ive recently completed my collection of the lps!), i loved hearing what they've done with other licenses. i'm curious where you found the names of the voice actors-- that's something i haven't been able to find yet in my research. i definitely heard raggedy andy's voice actor in the second pac-man record. and i must thank you for sharing welcome to mcdonaldland. i need it. i must have ronald mcdonald's terrifying face spinning on my turntable.

I know a lot about “Kid stuff.” In 1986 they stopped making records and switched to make videocassettes. A weird winky dink and you one from 1988 can be found on my channel. Lje the makers of this record become gametek and maybe become Ljn too. Kid stuff’s winky dink video is probably lost media, and it’s public domain, so maybe check that out. Also have more information about Kid stuff, in around 1988-89 kid stuff maybe switched or filed for bankruptcy. These records are actually pretty weird considering their other output. The kid stuff vhs is public domain which is weird considering all these records are lincensed. Notes: “Oddity Archive,” did one of the Christmas sing along tapes. The winky dink tape features bugs bunny and the winky dink aspect is these weird characters like bugs after one of the cartoons has a girlfriend and I think he has a maze. Just check it out, love this stuff.

That’s why Kid Stuff/IJE shut down by the end of 1986 and then went to formed Gametek as a video game publisher of IJE and put out a boatload of video games based off of game shows like “Jeopardy”, “Wheel of Fortune”, “Hollywood Squares”, “Classic Concentration”, “Double Dare” and others.

God your content has evolved since I first started watching you. I remember when you were making Animal Crossing singing videos and one time you even visited my ACNH Island! But I absolutely am in LOVE with the way your channel had been going the past few years. Thanks for providing us with some awesome content :)

I saw his tomogachi video and got shocked it was made by the acnh guy I used to watch

Slight correction: as far as I'm aware, the first voiced appearance of Mario was in the Donkey Kong Cereal commercials. Other than that, great video. I love arcade-era promotional material. Especially when it comes from Donkey Kong.

10:30 the jack stauber sounding part is making me wanna binge listen all his tracks its like the most vibest part of the song lmao

For some reason I fully expected you’d look like a small purple cat with glasses

When I was a little kid I had a record with just that insane intro/outro tune on it!!! I have no idea where I got it from (it might have been from a promotional offer or something, I remember that it was VERY flimsy), but I very clearly remember constantly putting it on my parents record player and then switching it back and forth between 33 and 45 RPM until someone told me to knock it off. I haven't thought about it in years!

Funny how we had a very similar phenomenon in Eastern Germany in the 1980s, and I doubt the creators knew about “Kid’s stuff”. There were the “Geschichtenlieder”, story songs, basically children’s songs telling little stories with small acting parts in between, forming one overarching story. They were arranged very similarly to the ones you show here. The concept was created by then famous musician Reinhard Lakomy who was also one of the electronic music pioneers in the GDR. He was friends with Edgar Froese of Tangerine Dream, and IIRC got his Moog from him. So it was no wonder that the story songs were heavily using synths. However our versions didn’t tie in with popular media and surprisingly also contained no socialist propaganda but pictured a peaceful unpolitical world which just felt good with small conflicts being resolved by diplomacy and being smart. Some songs are up to date even today like the song about the pet mouse who stepped in for a policeman usually controlling traffic who was absent one day. The mouse causes a traffic chaos but is having fun, because he thinks he is conducting an orchestra of honking cars. This is a great song fitting today’s car infested cities with little breathing room especially for children. The most popular story song albums are “Der Traumzauberbaum” (roughly: the magic tree of dreams) and “Mimmelitt, das Stadtkaninchen” (Mimmelitt, the rabbit of the city). Even if you don’t understand German you should give them a listen.

I actually started digging around on the internet after i watched this video to see if that really was Mario’s first voice, and so far, i can’t find a concrete date of release for Donkey Kong Goes Home, only a release year. This actually matters because there’s a TV show called “Saturday Supercade” which had segments based on Donkey Kong and credits a voice actor for voicing Mario. Saturday Supercade first aired September 17th 1983. I want to hunt for a full release date for the Donkey Kong Goes Home vinyl so I can solve this mystery, what a rabbit hole I have fell into.

All I could find was 1983.

I know you said the mayor of Pacville was like if Jerma did a bad voice, I feel like the whole record is secretly a Jerma shitpost. Maybe he listened to these as a kid, which would explain a lot.

I collect strange records that end up in dollar bins or goodwill and now I'm going to have to keep my eyes peeled for these out in the wild.

6:39 god i cant help but see shadow as just a discount shadow the hedgehog idk if it's just my bias with series and names or the incredible voice he has dmsjebtnsbdb

- Some of the songs on the Pac-Man albums sound like bad songs off Magical Mystery Tour. - “[T]he idea of Nintendo letting some random record company have creative influence on their IP seems unthinkable.” - kkclue, forgetting the Phillips CDI - The opening melody in “The Climber” sounds like “At Doom’s Gate.”

"I wanna trade" makes for a powerfull TF2 micspam weapon

this is so funny. shadow not only whispers but also so close to the mic that he just speaks in asmr. the discordant pacman theme sends me into hysterics

I have a pacman record, but it's not from kid stuff records. It's called Pac-man fever and it was released in 1982 right before the crash. The music on it sucks and I found it for 2 bucks at a goodwill. Now that I know there's more than just the one, I will be looking for more >:)

My brother bought me a knockoff K.K Slider record off some random website. We put it on our record player and it was some random spanish singer. We go back to look at the website and in the fine print it says something along the lines of "records are only for aesthetics and will not play the correct song." Lmao what a sham.

Probably the holy grail of video game records is a song called Atari by Elmer Farris. You can look it up. It's probably one of the funniest novelty songs I have heard. It's absurdly rare so good luck getting your hands on it.

Totally agree!

Mario’s voice sounds like it is based off of Father Guido Sarducci, a character played by Don Novello. He was also one of the team in the Disney Atlantis movie.

8:44 This song is literally accurate to [CHARACTER OWNED BY ATGAMES]’s current fate.

I’m fairly certain that by the time that Pac-Man album came out the ghosts already had their canon names of Inky, Pinky, Blinky and Clyde, just to add to the levels of disrespect here.
