Thank you so much!!!! I seriously love all of the runners-up...any of them could have easily won and I'm honored mine was chosen. Can't wait to use the guitar!!
I studied music in college with Andrew, he rode a unicycle to class and wore a bow-tie almost everyday. I don't think anyone quite fully understood him, but we all knew he was an absolute genius. I think he performed at least once with every instrument in our weekly performance forum class. He absolutely deserves this!
Reece Webber hey it’s Reece! Didn’t see your comment last year for some reason. Yep that was me for sure with the bow tie and unicycle. Haha I don’t even know if I understood why. Thanks for thinking I was a genius :)
Oh man Rob, I’m so thrilled right now after watching this. Thank you so much for mentioning my submission!! :) I hope to see some of you guys around ;)! You all have a great day, best, (Mr. is okay) Dr. High Music ❤️
Yeah, I actually think it has certain pretty interesting elements to it. It has a clear melodic motif (D# B C#) and what makes it interesting is that when the three-note motif is repeated, it starts on the off-beat. It's also quite logical, since you have two repeats of the three-note motif and on the third time it almost starts again but ends differently. The shape of the melody actually works quite well. A much worse melody would be either much more repetitive or it would have no repetition at all, and it would also either have a much less interesting rhythm (for example just quarter notes all the time) or the rhythm would just be nonsensical.
Eyyy thanks for the shout! Super hype with the runner-up place. And yeah you pronounced my name correctly. :P Thanks for the contest dude, it was a bunch of fun! \,,/
I always wanted to write melodies, but it was so frustrating in the beginning. Then I found Yousican and Rob Scallon. Edit: Auto-corrected to Rob Scallion
I know it's weird to say this, but listening to these were so fucking exciting and inspiring. Every single one did something special. And I don't know if it was just your melody on its own, but the emotion was REAL.
Hi Rob I'm the one who put you and Rick in super mario! I hope I made you smile :) ! It was really fun making that video. Thanks for putting it in the Mash-up! Congratulations to the winner!
Mr. Rob, absolutely love your content! I just found you believe it or not two weeks ago and have absolutely loved everything that I’ve watched thus far. I found my father after 44 years (what an amazing story actually) and decided to follow his footsteps and play the guitar. I’ve only been playing a short time but love to make noise! You are inspirational and such a talented, respectful, and creative person. I really admire your skills, eagerness to learn and most of all, educate. If by chance you ever read this... Just thank you, sincerely, you rock!
Any time I watch one of his videos I always think he's just so kind. Like he has such kind eyes idk how to describe it he's just so pure like i would want him to babysit my cat. Also awesome entries
Such a fun and uplifting video! Just blows my mind how many talented musicians are out there and warms my heart to see you helping and uplifting the community
Crap, I forgot to put in my submission because I never made a video. Well, here it is anyway for people who like djent. I used both melodies too! soundcloud.com/abra5umente/rising-sidechain-comp
Was hoping my bro sinkingzero08 would win, but it was a well deserving winner! So many awesome entries! This whole thing was super fun to follow and Rob is the man!
Ohhh man - I loooove this gypsy stuff of andrew! You deserve the win, really! And, however, soo so many awesomely made music - Holy moly! Phantastic content
I would be curious to know some statistics of about the entries and musicians. How many chose which genre, where do they live (for collaboration), what is their credit card info? That sorta thing.
The last two were the only two to bring mostly different chord progressions. Because of that, they get the most props from me. Everyone else did variations on Rob's songs. I like last runner up most, but I agree that the winner deserved to win due to sheer creativity and polish.
Congratulations to all of the runners up and Andrew. The gypsy jazz take on the melody is amazing. I can't believe I was one of the people picked at random. This was such an amazing oportunity.
So this was amazing to be part of. I didn't win, didn't get showcased...but I'm part of it. I'm part of 506 other musicians to be inspired by you Mr. Scallon. I will take this as a learning experience and the next contest you put out I will do better, then better the one after that and maybe...just maybe, I'll win one of these times. I would say I watched almost all 506 over the last month and I have never been more blown away by the power of the internet and the power of music to connect total strangers. Some of you are so insanely talented and you should be proud of what you made. Every one of you! You are spectacular, Rob. Thanks for this man. Thank everyone for this.
I know that feeling well, buddy. RichaadEB, who is an insanely talented guitarist, did something similar about two years ago. I didn't even get showcased, but it was amazing to participate in something that was much bigger than myself and to connect with these other gifted musicians.
Wow..The "French small town, outside a bistro on a mild summer evening, the air filled with love" type of style that won was actually my first impression of what that melody should sound like. And Mr. Van Vlear absolutely nailed it. More of this, please!
Rob is uniting the music world, this is something YT needs WAY more of. Awesome job to everyone and thanks Rob for brining premium content to this platform.
Found about the contest too late to make it in time and I don't have good video gear, but if you've got a minute, here's my take on it. It has a clarinet ! soundcloud.com/nicklaussir2/interference
Hey thanks for the mention, Rob! Before I even knew there was a contest, I heard you play the melody and I instantly thought future bass. Glad you like it :)
Rob man this is soo cool, please make more videos of this concept, it's very nice how we get to see a lot of styles and talents on the same tone, plus your reactions and comments are very interesting, beautiful video man, thank you.
Is it actually possible to write a terrible melody? I believe, pretty much anything can have a right context in which it works perfectly, and this just proves it.
Thank you so much!!!! I seriously love all of the runners-up...any of them could have easily won and I'm honored mine was chosen. Can't wait to use the guitar!!
Andrew Van Vlear Congratulations dude!
Somewhat curious did your channel spike in subs and if so appropriately how many
I think I've heard you mentioned before this, but I'm not sure where
Congrats to your win man! You did an outstanding job and deserve it! :D
Randomguitar
Dude, the video like just came out, calm down, wait a bit
I studied music in college with Andrew, he rode a unicycle to class and wore a bow-tie almost everyday. I don't think anyone quite fully understood him, but we all knew he was an absolute genius. I think he performed at least once with every instrument in our weekly performance forum class. He absolutely deserves this!
Reece Webber hey it’s Reece! Didn’t see your comment last year for some reason. Yep that was me for sure with the bow tie and unicycle. Haha I don’t even know if I understood why. Thanks for thinking I was a genius :)
So you can make a silly tune into something silly but great, and ride a unicycle? Accordion on a Wheel. Can you do it? Have you done it?
Theinsanegamer10 I haven’t done accordion on a unicycle while juggling for years! Probably could still do it though...it’s like riding a bike 🤹🏻♂️
Video. You'll get a ton of views, I would think. Thats the stuff the Internet almost always adores.
Theinsanegamer10 haha, you’re probably right. There’s the unipiper guy up in Portland I think (who I feel is a kindred spirit)
Oh man Rob, I’m so thrilled right now after watching this. Thank you so much for mentioning my submission!! :) I hope to see some of you guys around ;)! You all have a great day, best, (Mr. is okay) Dr. High Music ❤️
i thought your version were the best!
Indeeeed, it's so groovy and such!
Yeah
Nice dancing skills btw
your version was phenominal!!
Dang. Didn't expect to get an honorable mention. I wonder how many submissions were electronic..
Also I knew adventure shop would be on here!!
Congrats!
Thank you Rob for featuring me! And congratulations to Andrew ! :D
Adventure Shop loved your entry man
Thanks! :D
Thank you! Congrats to you...your entry is amazing!!!
i heard your submission before and i like it
i even subscribed to you cause i like your music at that point
definitely my fave. expect a boost in followers!
Lot of talent out there for sure! 🤘🏻
It's kinda sad to see so many talented, creative and hard working people that don't get the recognition they deserve
"Yeah, I kinda lost interest in fantasy football once I started knitting..."
There's no way in hell that wasn't scripted.
@@samus88 haha he was lik hey i have this idea call me back in one minute
@@superduperjoi6800 there's a cut
They made it super obvious it was scripted lmao
It's awesome to see people come up with so many different genres and interpretations of the same melody, really impressive to see
*OH HELLO THERE*
Oh hi
Omg is a u LilDeuceDeuce
There is no dumb melody ONLY DUMB MUSICIANS
Jk lov u all
Omg stop
@@bendjamin808 I think the melody deserves a name , The Impersonal victory Song ,
I'm not dumb, but my life choices would conflict with that statement.
is this the new ‘the lick’?
No
The lick would always remain the same
It could be 'that lick'
Mateusz Lorens huh? its been a music inside joke for literally decades
*A-B-C-D-B-G-D-*
SonicHandsK99 D-E-F-G-E-C-D
I don't actually think the melody is that horrible. I mean it's not great but I think it's easily possible to make a worse melody than that
rob is too good to make a bad melody
I Write A Song A Day so we found the one thing Rob Scallon is horrible at, making horrible melodies.
Eb, Bb, B, Ab, Bb, Eb, Bb, B, E, Eb
Yeah, I actually think it has certain pretty interesting elements to it. It has a clear melodic motif (D# B C#) and what makes it interesting is that when the three-note motif is repeated, it starts on the off-beat. It's also quite logical, since you have two repeats of the three-note motif and on the third time it almost starts again but ends differently. The shape of the melody actually works quite well. A much worse melody would be either much more repetitive or it would have no repetition at all, and it would also either have a much less interesting rhythm (for example just quarter notes all the time) or the rhythm would just be nonsensical.
It’s a challenge mate! Show us what you got! 😯
Eyyy thanks for the shout! Super hype with the runner-up place. And yeah you pronounced my name correctly. :P Thanks for the contest dude, it was a bunch of fun! \,,/
I always wanted to write melodies, but it was so frustrating in the beginning. Then I found Yousican and Rob Scallon.
Edit: Auto-corrected to Rob Scallion
And you didn't bother to edit 'write'
Matt Denton
OMG please forgive or Ill kms
Firewolf forgiven
Matt Denton thank you father
Kms stands for Kayaking misunderstanding syndrome.
im definitely participating in the next contest
If I can get something recorded for it, so will I.
Same here I just found out about it too late
Same here, I really hope it comes soon
Same here, I didn’t know there was one xD
New contest is out now
You need to have more competitions like these
God what an excellent profile pic
i love stuff like this. it brings musicians together.
Music, the ultimate unifying force of nature
If you scroll to the very bottom of the playlist, it's a Kmac2021 video of him playing his cover of Rain
Which is amazing
Hahahahahahahahah
The winner sounds like one of those like iconic rpg town background songs and I love it. Good work man!
Matt Smithers I thought it sounded a little like something from the first Mafia game, just driving around music.
TheDarkstar670 yes! This too lol I guess that’s just what a great bit of music does
'I lost interest in fantasy football once I started knitting'
The winners sounds like something out of Super Mario Sunshine
yes! Thats the first thing I thought too
Either that or club penguin 😂😂
yep my first thought.
The winner sounds amazing!
When you found Justin Y comment with 2 likes and you're like: Wat? And see it was commented 13 minutes ago
I thought he only posted on gaming related videos
I guess that Switch summoned him
Are we soulmates or something, you're on everything I watch. EVERYTHING! and it's all different things
Hey
Oh no...
I know it's weird to say this, but listening to these were so fucking exciting and inspiring. Every single one did something special. And I don't know if it was just your melody on its own, but the emotion was REAL.
"I kinda lost interest in fantasy football when I started knitting."
Why was that so funny to me
8:15 its like gypsy jazz. It quite cool.
Wow he watches mine at 12:10
KRZY !KZ best one on there tbh
Nice try lol
Oh my God dude!! Lol
Got me
Ahhh shit, can't believe I fell for that, even pressed it twice.
Hi Rob I'm the one who put you and Rick in super mario! I hope I made you smile :) ! It was really fun making that video. Thanks for putting it in the Mash-up! Congratulations to the winner!
Mr. Slate's version sounds like Rocket League soundtrack!
*I GOT A HEAD AND TEN TOES, OH YEAH!*
My exact thoughts lolol.
not really but i get ur idea, cool to see an RL player here
IM GONNA HANG WITH MY BROS, OH YEAH
Mr. Rob, absolutely love your content! I just found you believe it or not two weeks ago and have absolutely loved everything that I’ve watched thus far. I found my father after 44 years (what an amazing story actually) and decided to follow his footsteps and play the guitar. I’ve only been playing a short time but love to make noise! You are inspirational and such a talented, respectful, and creative person. I really admire your skills, eagerness to learn and most of all, educate. If by chance you ever read this... Just thank you, sincerely, you rock!
Like the winner, but the metal one is badass.
The winning song sounds so much like something you would find in a pixar movie, it's awesome =D
Yatholenn I thought the same thing
Not even in the movies but those shorts with almost no speech in them that you vaugely remember from when you were alot younger.
Any time I watch one of his videos I always think he's just so kind. Like he has such kind eyes idk how to describe it he's just so pure like i would want him to babysit my cat. Also awesome entries
Such a fun and uplifting video! Just blows my mind how many talented musicians are out there and warms my heart to see you helping and uplifting the community
The winner could have been part of a PIxar soundtrack.
It gave me club penguin flashbacks
I hear the Pixar in the winner's interpretation, I also hear a bit of Super Mario Galaxy in there too.
or mario theme
Could have been in ratatouille 😂
The winner makes me want to start a new game on Mario odyssey
Crap, I forgot to put in my submission because I never made a video.
Well, here it is anyway for people who like djent. I used both melodies too!
soundcloud.com/abra5umente/rising-sidechain-comp
The sheer amount of talent is amazing! I may not have won, but it sure was a lot of fun participating. Great job everyone!
I've been sitting here watching this for 12:08 with a big goofy smile on my face. This was awesome! Great stuff, Rob...the world needs more of this.
Thank you so much Rob for the shoutout and the strings! This was truly awesome!
Amazing! Huge range of styles! Loved Leo Aram Downs, but Andrew's Django version was a worthy winner too.
Great contest idea too!
It's great how the winner brought to life the original derpy feel of the melody.
The Van Vlear's version sounds like something out of Disney's Ratatouille. Very cool.
God damn, we're so happy to have competed with such an awesome community. The amount of creativity is amazing. Cheers to all!
I couldn't stop smiling during this whole video. So many great entries, and your little bits made me laugh throughout.
Was hoping my bro sinkingzero08 would win, but it was a well deserving winner! So many awesome entries!
This whole thing was super fun to follow and Rob is the man!
Ohhh man - I loooove this gypsy stuff of andrew! You deserve the win, really!
And, however, soo so many awesomely made music - Holy moly! Phantastic content
Thank you!
The “super chill” version sounds like a combination of ABBA and Fleetwood Mac, I love it.
I would be curious to know some statistics of about the entries and musicians. How many chose which genre, where do they live (for collaboration), what is their credit card info? That sorta thing.
Maybe their social security card too.
Definitely!
In all seriousness, the statistics on genre and location would actually interest me (if Rob has the time). :)
Lmao this cracked me the fuck up 😂😂
Wow all the runners up were awesome but i totally agree with the winner.
Also thank you for continuing the meme 8:47
can you tell me the origin of this meme?
Tuck i don’t remember. It’s a recent vid tho
Tuck the video is called “making this sound beautiful”. At 0:30. All the comments are talking about it too
Relevant Games cheers man, this is comedy gold
Tuck i was one of the founders of that meme. My comment didn’t take off though...
This is great! 🤘🏻 it's crazy how one melody can create so many different styles and approaches
i want more of these challenges, it's so great to see many people interpret the same thing differently
The last two were the only two to bring mostly different chord progressions. Because of that, they get the most props from me.
Everyone else did variations on Rob's songs.
I like last runner up most, but I agree that the winner deserved to win due to sheer creativity and polish.
I did not made it to the thumbnails but man, those are really talented musicians, it was fun, Kudos and Congratulations to the winners!
I'm so bummed that I missed this!!! If you ever do it again in the future I'll be all up in dat shiz. Hopefully you make this a semi-regular thing! :)
3:56 : when you have that one metal song stuck in head in the middle of a test in call.
Uncle Levi percussionists rise up
Congratulations to all of the runners up and Andrew. The gypsy jazz take on the melody is amazing. I can't believe I was one of the people picked at random. This was such an amazing oportunity.

Rob is uniting the music world, this is something YT needs WAY more of. Awesome job to everyone and thanks Rob for brining premium content to this platform.
3:54, NO KARATE IN THE PIT
Rob you rock. Not only are you just a great musician, you keep your authenticity in front of the camera and I think that is just awesome.
The winner reminded me of Mario music
Delfino Plaza!
Heck yes...go look up "gypsy mario 2" on youtube
I on the other hand was instantly reminded of Sonic Unleashed
I was thinking Super Mario Sunshine too haha
Definitely.
You are such an inspirational musician! Messing around with this melody right now
That last one was pure video game tutorial.
Rob has one of the best channels around! Great videos!
"I kinda lost interest in fantasy football once I started knitting." HOW DID NO ONE NOTICE THIS GOLDEN MOMENT?
These submissions are all phenomenal. Great work all of you guys
You should do this twice a year. Just a Remix This Melody Challenge or something!
Found about the contest too late to make it in time and I don't have good video gear, but if you've got a minute, here's my take on it. It has a clarinet !
soundcloud.com/nicklaussir2/interference
The winner makes me want to throw a piece dough up into the air and scream “MAMI MIA”
Yay!!!! It was so much to be a part of this and check out everyone else's videos!!!! :D
Rob: I'm impressed how differently can one melody sound!
Cover bands: Oh do ya?!
This is such a cool, positive video. And the submissions are awesome!
The winner sounds like it could be in super mario sunshine
Hey thanks for the mention, Rob! Before I even knew there was a contest, I heard you play the melody and I instantly thought future bass. Glad you like it :)
"right to my midwestern heart" hell yeah!!
Shouldn't you be doing steady state Rather than being on UA-cam ◉‿◉
I love that Rob chose the winner for the musical creativity and not just the popularity of the genre.
Hey, it's Mr. Slate! Congrats on getting featured, man!
As soon as I saw you put the guitar boxes back in place I knew I had to subscribe, it had me in tears
thanks for the contest Rob, I gave it a shot and had a lot of fun doing it !!!!
Happy birthday Andrew! Wow! What a difficult decision. They are all so good!!
The winner sounds like Mario Sunshine. Cool.
It makes me so so happy that a gypsy jazz rendition of the melody won.
I AM SO IMPRESSED WITH PEOPLE’S CREATIVITY
Rob man this is soo cool, please make more videos of this concept, it's very nice how we get to see a lot of styles and talents on the same tone, plus your reactions and comments are very interesting, beautiful video man, thank you.
I love that a gypsy jazz flavoured version won ♥️
This is so cool. I love stuff like this. You and the contestants nailed it!
Wait..he has two keyboards and three mice/mouses???
Meeses
Mici
Mooces
OH YEAH. It’s because he has a head and 10 toes.
amazing how rob has improved the quality of his videos, keep up the good work man you're awesome
Leonard made some straight up porn music.
Bow Chika-Wow-Wow! xD
The winner is really the best! Great work!!
Is it actually possible to write a terrible melody? I believe, pretty much anything can have a right context in which it works perfectly, and this just proves it.
The winner gave me a very “Pixar” vibe. I could hear it being an intro theme song in one of their movies. Good stuff.
Am i the only one who notice Kmac in the playlist?
This melody still swims its way into my head. Excellent work from everyone here
When you showed the winner my face went from intrigued to just :D
Awesome job guys! Thanks for doing things Rob. I'll try harder next time
Andrew huang bout to come out with 507 ways
The "superchill" dude's contribution makes me kinda happy.
Which is unusual because superchill things usually only make me restless.
The winner sounds like the fishing theme in club penguin.
I wasn't expecting a gipsy jazz version in the end hahaha sounds awesome!!
