You thought this would be Dolphin Shoals, didn’t you? Well, HA, gotcha!
This collaboration started after I saw this random video called “The Mario Kart Lick” from some guy on UA-cam named Saxologic. It was making its way around UA-cam at the time, and I thought it was awesome that a lick with a relatively high degree of technical requirements was becoming a meme! Soon after, Saxologic posted a video teaching the lick to others, and demonstrated himself playing it multiple keys. This guy was the real deal, so I only thought it fitting to bring him on and make a Mario Kart cover with him! I’ve already covered Dolphin Shoals (and I’ve technically already covered Rainbow Road but let’s ignore that fact lol), so I thought Rainbow Road would be a fun tune for the both of us to blow on. After settling some great-related complications, we recorded, and Saxologic did a great job! I’m glad another saxophonist has become part of the video game music community!
I think I’ve told my own personal story about Rainbow Road a few times, but I figure I might as well do it again on this video! I used to play Mario Kart 64 a lot with my dad after dinner when I was a kid. At this point in my life, I was probably about 8 or 9, and I wasn’t very good at Mario Kart at the time. There were times where I’d get really unlucky on Rainbow Road due to a mix of hitting the chain chomps, banana peels, or getting red shelled. Sometimes, I’d fall so far behind that I didn’t think there was much point in still racing since I wasn’t going to win. One time this happened, and my dad told me “you can never give up on Rainbow Road!” That advice has stuck with me to this day, with big challenges and projects taking the place of Rainbow Road in my life. Good driving and drifting will take you far, I guess!
I am ALSO very excited to introduce a new instrument in this video! This is the first video I’ve filmed with my new electric organ! I’ve been playing a large electric organ during church services this summer, and one of the members of this church had an organ that they were giving away. I took up this generous organ donor on their offer, acquiring the necessary tools to transport this thing (seriously, it’s incredibly heavy for its size), and finally moved it into a corner in the house I live in! It’s seriously so much fun to play with. It can get really loud when the volume pedal is up all the way, it’s got a few different tremolo settings, many tones and draw bars, and fun pedals, too! I really wanted to incorporate it into a video before leaving back to Boston for college, and I thought this video would be a great time to do so. This mix ended up a lot more EDM-y and punchy than some of my other mixes, but I think that works very well! I was trying to emulate some mixes from the band Knower, one of my favorite weird, eclectic blends of jazz, electronic music, and funk. They’re super.

Dang bro, Kenny G is destroying us 😂😂 He isn’t our Lord and Savior for nothing!
And I like how even though our solo battle was recorded separately, it sounded like we were feeding off each other. We could team up on Mario Kart and get the best items with our amount of luck!
The king of the lick
I would love to see you guys do co-op double dash
Lol I just assumed you guys were face timing during the solo battle, I couldn't believe that it was recorded separately
In a legit jazz quintet, you two would be unstoppable
Doesn't Kenny G have the world record for holding the single longest note in history? Oh wait that's like every song 🙃
*_It's called the Road, it's called the Rainbow Road, it is a road that you go..._*
It’s got Princess Peach, Mario and *the toad.*
What is this from? I thought this was just some figment of my imagination
I'll miss you again, uncle.

I know you're pain
oof sad

Mario kart lick at 2:34
I love the race course
Wow, rainbow shoals sounds different!
Good job carlos
I recognize the Mario kart lick anywhere
3:37, too
When you were both trading solos it sounds like you guys were having a conversation
That's the intent of trading solos! I'm glad it sounded that way, even though we recorded our solos separately :)
That is the art of solo, the unspoken conmunication of the soul. It's so spontaneous and honest, you can piece together the emotions of the players with your eyes closed.
Experienced jazzoids know that when the audience recognizes a call and response, it’s a good solo.
Bro that’s kinda cirndhwvsuwvziqvhsodpqbshrbd
The effect of antiphony
Love the final product man!! Great working with you!
Saxologic bro you’re an amazing musician! Keep it up dude!
Y’all should collab and do dolphin shoals
The man, the myth, the Mario Kart Lick, Saxologic! I'm proud of your work, and look forward to whatever you have in store for the future!
Its a joy to see you play your sax you seem hyptonized in a way. And the music is so beautiful
I want to like this but it’s at 420 likes
This is so goddamn good.
An older one, but one of the best nonetheless
@@myfriendkirby A classic.
I didnt know claude played mario kart

Today was a bad day, thanks Carlos to make it a bit better
happy to please :3

TANMAY MARWAH 2:09 that’s also quote from the Dolphin Shoals solo, albeit a lesser known line
@@jakeoflinespiano9936 oh shoot yeah i see it now, its just a different key and higher
TANMAY MARWAH I like your profile picture
quoting honeysuckle rose
@@kevdel761 Thanks!
Saxologic get boosted by the algorythim past days ago, Carlos sees him, then Saxologic collabs with Carlos, seems plausible
The best timeline
@@insaneintherainmusic in a matter of days, that was quick, God bless you Carlos, thanks for your reply :)
Woow, that is the guy from dolphin lick
3:25 Awesome!
it's THE GUY!
Hell yeah that is
( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o)
Wow dolphin lick guy
Dolphin... l-lick?
"All of our operators are currently busy. Please hold."
*Mario Kart 64 Rainbow Road Jazz Cover plays*
"No problem. Take your time." ^_^
One of my favorite melodies of all time. You did it justice.
Thanks, Ron :)
Wow Ron, it is inexplicable on how much our love for video game soundtracks are alike. I didn’t expect you to listen to mario kart but I also did, and I see your comments on every pokeremix I see and it just makes me love it more!!
Nintendo... if you’re reading this:
You need to hire this guy A.S.A.P.
(that would be sick)
Both of them!
NINTENDO HIRE THESE MEN
@@insaneintherainmusic just like your upload schedule. its more consistent than Nintendo being uncreative with creating their consoles. you got the wii, wii u, switch, switch mini, switch but 2 times better hardware but still called the switch. or maybe how they deal with bugs.........
HIRE THEM! HIRE THEM! HIRE THEM!
This song gave me just the smile I needed :)
Happy to provide it for ya!
Ñ?
WHY DID I INVOLUNTARILY WRIGGLE WITH EXCITEMENT WHEN I READ ABOUT THE ELECTRIC ORGAN IN THE DESCRIPTION
I LOVE THIS
it's because you're learning the true value of organ donors
@@insaneintherainmusic I love organ... It was used a lot really well in some older rock music and I love the sound it adds to things. Wish I heard it in more stuff now.... wish someone would donate me an organ
Josh Ward There's a €30 organ in a thrift shop I know, but I don't have room for it. :/
@@607 dude human organs are pretty small like how could you not have room for it
ayyyyyyyyyy I see that little dolphin shoals lick in there! I was waiting for it ever since Saxologic played his first note lol
Edit: WHOLE MULTIPLE LICKS OF THE SOLO?!?!?
1:10
I've never seen someone look so happy playing the tambourine before. That made me crack up and genuinely made my day
This cover is also amazing
Wtf, Saxologic AND insaneintherain.... They said it would never happen...
Man, if your having a bad day, just listen to this song. This is incredible.
Thank you insaneintherain.
This was so pure it made me cry.
THE MARIO KART LICK MADE ME SPIT OUT MY DRINK.... made my day lol!!!!
Haha!
Theres somethin about the video quality thats just so colorful and amazing, which is fitting I guess
also carlos stop being so good with literally any instrument
The power of input LUTS and color correction! thanks brando :^)
glad we got saxologic's signature thumbs up at the beginning
He's gotta show off to the crowd
Me waiting for the dolphin shoals lick
ZayProductions thrice
@@mynamewasunironicallyyuri973 damn, i only picked up on two of it
I think we should make a new meme like “thanks Obama” except it’s not ironic and it’s “thanks Carlos” for all the incredible work he does!!!
I would be down for this! I appreciate your kind words very much, Tyler!
insaneintherainmusic thanks Carlos
ty carlos
@@insaneintherainmusic thanks carlos
@@insaneintherainmusic Thanks, Carlos.
3:58 that dual sax sound is just flawless
Oh you know it, your worst nightmare has come but with a great song, Rainbow Road!
*Didn't You Know?* This song turns grown men into weeping babies. This is evidenced by the man behind this comment.
Funny, but not relevant
@@dcscorch969 how's it not relevant? The comment is about the song, isn't it?
I read that as green men
I love that Frappe Snowland nod at 1:30.
1:08 I've never witnessed such enthusiasm for the tambourine before in my life!
The dolphin shoals lick soli was too good
1:14 That flute is beautiful, you are very skilled at all of these instruments, i am very impressed
How Dolphin Shoals and Sherbet Land were able to get in here astounds me
I remember Saxologic randomly appearing in my recommendations and subscribed for his amazing Mario Kart lick. A few weeks later and this collaboration happens. Amazing!
They slid in the damn Mario Kart lick?! Yes! Boy bad as hell, got whole organ jamming
These two gentlemen inspired me to learn saxophone nearly five years ago with their renditions of dolphin shoals. It is very rewarding to see them perform together after all off this time. You two are legends. Thank you for doing what you do.
BinaryXioms I remember you man! Hope you’re doing well, thanks for continuing to check us out! You’re a true supporter!!!
I feel like ever since he arranged those songs with an entire band, this man is unstoppable.
And every new video is another 1,000 tears shed
Honestly... that whole experience was super motivating to me! It really opened my eyes to what’s possible to create with a bunch of other musicians! For the longest time, I was a big control freak about recording everything myself and having it be perfect, but now I’ve realized that hiring other great musicians and working with great engineers leads to creating some fantastic, fantastic music. And that’s what I’m all about.
I guess Dave Pollacks smooth jazz lessons have helped out XD
This is an amazing version of Rainbow Road. I approach all my uber and lyft pickups playing this song, dressed as Toad of course with Mario Kart in my backseat
This is easily the most powerful video you have ever uploaded.
I would probably put my personal vote towards another video (maybe movement 2 of the Jazz Video Game Medley?), but I really appreciate that comment! To me, music has a wonderful power to move people emotionally, and I think that power is incredible when wielded in the right hands!
the dolphin shoals quoting is on another level
That awesome dolphin shoals lick!! Wow guys, WOW 2:33
My mom just listened to a Mario Kart song and kept smiling thanks to this guys
I love this theme!! I saw the notification on Saxologic's channel! Well done!!
He did...the thing before the lick. My heart.
It's amazing; the combination of stunning visuals and amazing musicality in these
Such a small part but those fast, whoosing wipe transitions - I love 'em
Glad you dug it! That's a Swish Pan transition I found as part of my Red Giant Universe plugin series. I thought it was pretty appropriate, given the context of a racing game.
1:36
Saxologic, YOU ARE AWESOME! I LOVED that!
Omg yes saxology is the freaking best, and OBVIOUSLY has to quote Dolphin Shoals.
10/10 IGN GOTY.
This unashamedly used the Mario kart lick. I love it
No reason to be ashamed at all... :)
Honestly, coming from both a video gamer and a jazz lover, this is honestly beautiful to see. I always warm up with solos I’ve made using this song’s key and I’m so glad you were able to make this Carlos. Keep up the amazing work that you do and stay jazzy!
the 80s vibe of this is so immaculate
This isn't even fair, didn't expect this blessing so early in the morning..
This sounds like a sitcom opening theme and I'm loving that whole vibe
That's a pro gamer moment right there.
Things like this and people like you guys are the reason why music will always be the most important thing to me
Yet another jazz arrangement I didn't realize I needed until it was in front of me. Fantastic!
This is great! I love the "banter" between the two saxophones. It creates for an interesting diversity.
This guy is too talented for his own good!!!
I ❤️ your videos🕺❤️
I keep listening to this because of the organ part
This is awesome. Very different than your old rainbow road cover. In a good way though. Loving it!
Definitely true! I like both of them for different reasons :)
That inclusion of the Mario kart 8 licc was beautiful
Me: *sees Saxologix* ITS THE MARIO KART LICK GUY!!!
I love how musicians have their own memes, because you get things like this. A work of art, that is also hilarious.
Musical memes are amazing
immediately recognized the dolphin shoals lick lmao but dude this shit was spicy af, amazing work as usual!
Thank you!!
I gotta say it seems like they enjoy what they do
This is bringing me to such a good place. I love it
A music arrangement with no barriers....
Perfect song for when you’re being tortured on the track.
Can get some PogChamps in the chat for Giant Chain Chomps?
I loved the references to Dolphin Shoals in the solo trading section.
Amazing :)
i love that reharm at 4:08! i use it all the time when im playing rainbow road. i was rewatching this video and i was like “oh yeah thats where thats from”
I can’t stop listening to this. So awesome!
Thanks for listening, Simon! :)
All of those little nods to each game in the series! Yes! YEEESSSSS!
as much as I love the lick, I love 1:39 that solo is beautiful
I can hear u guys play that Mario kart licc over and over and every time it makes me jump up and go “yea!!!!”
Damn I was hoping to hear more of Saxologic when the "lick" solo came but Carlos had to cover him up with his (3!!!) sax solo's as well :/
The napstablook shirt was everything
You inspire me to pursue music Carlos
oh man that one under-water track from mario kart 8 with the godly sax solo
it's living through all the remixes
love it
Really good work with this one👍
There you have three soundtracks that I found interesting for you to make them "saxy":
-Route 228 (Pokemon DPPt)
-Relic castle (Pokemon B&W)
-Giant chasm (Pokemon B&W)
Keep up with the good work👌
All great suggestions!
0:56 Night Saxologic and Day Saxologic, the two opposing forces needed to create the smoothest, sweetest, and illest saxophone licks known to mankind.
This is your jam when racing down the ups and downs of 64's rainbow road
.
.
Except you'll need to play it on a loop for like, 15 times to end it because the track is just frickin' long.
Everyone is talking about the Mario kart lick, but I’m also just as entranced by Carlos dancing his soul out with a tambourine. It gives me life.
SAXOLOGIC!!!!!!!!
I KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME, EVER SINCE THE LICKING BOI
JP licking boy lmaoooo
“Say the line Bart!”
* sigh *
“2:34”
“YAAAAAAAAY”
"You thought this would be Dolphin Shoals, didn’t you? Well, HA, gotcha!"
dang it
hahahahahahaha
did anyone notice in the description about the organ? i laughed way to hard at that.
Sometimes I try to be funny
Throwing banana's at the giant DK neon sign
When they try to one-up each other with the Dolphin Shoals Licks, LOVED IT!!! 3:27
Hey, you gotta stay ahead when you sax battle..
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
This collab was inevitable and amazing love you both
Thanks a ton :)
1:37 ¿Who is that note? G or A
Love this! Captures the Rainbow Road essence perfectly with a sort of 90s TV flare - great work both of ya!
Ok ok ok, i'll try one more time...
*3 weeks later*
One more ride...
My ears have been blessed with that sax.
1:20 I hope there’s someone reading this who understands chord theory better than I do and can explain what chords are used in that transition and why they last one sounds so nice 🤤✨
104ist if you play every other note or play an A, and then the bari plays it an octave lower, it harmonizes.
Holy fuck, that lick in the middle absolutely slayed. Another great piece!
Day 3: someone help I’m stuck
I’m back again after 5 days, still boppin
Today I discovered this arrangement, my life has completely changed.
