In 1991 I was 6 years old... Toejam & Earl subconsciously (mostly consciously) made me a huge fan of the Funk Genre. Long story short. I'm almost 40 & have been playing Funk Bass for close to 23 years...
I was listening to the OST as I walked to my dad's and my algorithm blessed me. It knows I listen to a lot of covers of weird shit. Josh turner doing bear necessities comes to mind. (Check that out)
Ha ha I used to do that too (this is the bassist), and when someone would catch it they would be so happy. They make me happy too! Such great basslines!
Folks, thank you all so much for the amazing comments and over 10,000 views!! Like many people, we've been halted by the pandemic for all of 2020, but we're getting ready to regroup and work on some more music for y'all! We've got 2 new things in the works right now and of course we'll be working on Panic on Funkotron some time in the near future :) Thank you for being patient with us and for showing some love for funky video game music. We'll see you soon!! (Chris, bassist)
I found this vid because I periodically revisit the Panic on Funkotron soundtrack. Please do a medley of that one! I think the second game's soundtrack was even better. Straight Herbie Hancock inspired. Loved watchin you guys jam out on this, hope to see more. Also, as someone who used to play jazz bass as a teenager, Chris crushed that! God damn!
I honestly expected this to have a million views. What did everyone else do with their childhood? And how in the Funkotron does this have any dislikes?
Man, this is so good. If I could hire you guys to play this on a loop behind me wherever I went, I don't think it'd be possible to ever have a bad day again Would love to hear you cover Panic on Funkotron!
Thank you so much! It was definitely inspired by the fact that there was nothing like it (that I could find) on the internet so far. Sometimes you have to make the thing you want to see!
It is indeed one of the very best two player games ever made. True genius. I mean what other game (not including mmporg and online shooters etc) is actually best played with two? I always felt a bit bored if I played it solo. The earthlings, the presents omg I could on.
The sounds coming out from that Juno-6 and MO6 are perfect for covering these classic tunes. Any chance the keyboard player could share some information on which sounds are dialed in on the synths during this performance? Or perhaps those sounds are custom made rather than presets? Great performance by the way. I’ve listened to it several times. Keep the funk going.
Thanks so much!! I'm using primarily a "BriteClavi" (bright clavinet) patch on the MO6, and sawtooth wave on the Juno-6. On the Juno-6 here I turn up the resonance on the VCF past the cutoff frequency to give it that nasally tone. Usually if I'm tweaking anything, it's the cutoff frequency and resonance. I also tune the sustain on the envelope filter to get more staccato notes when necessary. On Alien Break Down I also punch in the sub osc square wave to give it a fuller sound. Keep it funky 😎
This game had one of THE BEST soundtracks. Great work! I love how your drummer switches to the pads when the keys aren't going to keep some of the digital elements in the mix
OK yeah, this was awesome. I mean, you could have done just the first track and people would have been thrilled, but you went ahead and did the entire soundtrack. Bravo !
I typed in t&j cover and you were the 1st to come up. I was not let down you guys nailed it!!!!!!! Thank you so much this made my day. Also love that you had the sounds programmed into the drum kit!!!
Thanks so much! Actually did not know we are the first result :O Yeah it just so happened that Justin had the drum pad and we just knew we had to do it ha ha
I can't tell you guys how many times I've listened to this medley. This is amazing and brings me back to the good old days. I'll probably listen to it a million more times.
Hell yeah ! UA-cam offers me this completely off the cuff and I'm excited in anticipation, because covering Toejam & Earl, this unique nugget of its kind (at the time as today, in fact), is so cool!! And you do it wonderfully well... And you went so far as to use samples from the game! Thank you for brightening up my sleepless night
This snare drum is honor to us.
This is one of the most fundamentally sound sega genisis OST conversions ever. Every note. Amazing
We got 'em all! (also thank you!)
Elevator Beats Transitions got me subbed!
JAMMIN'!
Much love from the child that still exists in me
You people are awesome!!

I'm forty and have credited this with the way I play bass since I started at around twelve years old.
I love that this exists. I was just trying to see if anyone covered Funkotronic Beat, and you guys did the entire OST! This is amazing!
I was listening to the OST as I walked to my dad's and my algorithm blessed me. It knows I listen to a lot of covers of weird shit. Josh turner doing bear necessities comes to mind. (Check that out)
I wish I had some presents to open.
I'm so glad this exists. Funkiest video game ever made. I always play TJ&E bass lines during sound check and see if anyone catches it.
Ha ha I used to do that too (this is the bassist), and when someone would catch it they would be so happy. They make me happy too! Such great basslines!
i would
Come to Glasgow.
y'all ain't no poindexters at all, y'all are funklords!!! awesome!!
I’m not sure why you did it, but I’m damn glad you did.
EPIIIIIIIC in every way possible
This is the best thing my ears have ever experienced
Sweet Jesus this is it!!!!

Best news in times! Hahaha! Good to know that. You guys are TOO AWESOME to release only one video!

Thank You !!!! Four years and still listenning!!!! Yummmin!!!!
Finally someone did this,
Right??
Oh, using the electronic drum to replicate the elevator beats was genius. 15 minutes well spent, time to put this on loop for my morning commute.
The best live toe jam performance through UA-cam.
Congratz guys!
I just wanna like, hang out with you guys. Y'all seem chill AF.
No Poindexters here… pure Funk Lords 😎 Thanks for making this, it’s made 11 year old me smile all the way from the ‘90s
Yo im a weiner yo.
I want you to play at my wedding, my first born's birth, and my funeral
What a weekend! :O
@@SuperHiTopsVGM ha.
@@SuperHiTopsVGM 🤣 HAHAHAHA!! ROFLMAO!
@@SuperHiTopsVGM LMFAO Perfect
Send it into space
Cleanest bedroom recording I've heard. I'm gonna guess 10000 hours EQing that snare
@@ShinzoX90 I'm a drummer so I'm definitely not in the know
I hate to see how someone loves that game more than i do 😅 just kidding. Awesome, guys! Thanks for a great jam ;)❤
I love how you have the elevator music between tracks. :)
When that first bass lick of Alien Breakdown hit, I descended to level zero
(Headphones with decent bass required)
best video on the internet
I honestly expected this to have a million views. What did everyone else do with their childhood? And how in the Funkotron does this have any dislikes?
We suspect they're all dentists
@@SuperHiTopsVGM I imagine them more as lawnmower guys. Either way, not people you’d ever want to hang around with.
I just want to say Thank You. Truly.
Broooo this shit goes hard!!! Toejam n earl was a staple part of my childhood in the 90s and you guys absolutely nailed it!
The funkotronic beat sounds the most difficult to cover tbh but you guys did a good job
Nothing but RESPECT
"ToeJam is a Poindexter"
Aaaalriiiight
too legit to quit! keep rocking guys
If this isn't played at my funeral I'm not dying
Congratulations on potentially living forever!
30 years later, this tune still sits in my head.
This is like I remember it but better.
love how the keyboardist is making room for toejam and earl to get down
Aaaaachoo!
Man, this is so good. If I could hire you guys to play this on a loop behind me wherever I went, I don't think it'd be possible to ever have a bad day again
Would love to hear you cover Panic on Funkotron!
Mad respect to the Bassist!
Hey thanks!
This legitimately made me grin. Thanks for the positive vibes.
Y'all are unbelievable but the electric keyboardist is truly a special kind of awesome!
Wedge is amazing (this is not her writing this btw lol), you should also check out The Returners VGM for more of her video game keyboard chops!
@@SuperHiTopsVGM Yeah, I grew up with this game. I think it's incredible how y'all got all the tone and vibe perfect. The Returners rule, too!
I've probly watched this 100 times since it came out... best version of these songs on the internet IMO
Thank you so much! It was definitely inspired by the fact that there was nothing like it (that I could find) on the internet so far. Sometimes you have to make the thing you want to see!
@@SuperHiTopsVGMjust wanted y'all to know I still bump this like once a week
this is incredible
Fantastic!!! Perfectly faithful, and making great time. Thank you for sharing this awesomesauce
I came looking for lo-fi, but this is amazingly done and, I guess, just as chill as what I needed!
05:55 - you know that when you have this music transition from elevator hard times are coming: nerds, crazy shopping woman, lawn mower man... omfg lol
This. Is. Awesome. I keep a Sega Genesis just for Toejam and Earl. My cats were named Toejam and earl. This. Is. Awesome
I got it for the Nintendo Wii. Cost a tenner for the download, awesome.
@@zeldagoblin recently??
@@aaronmartin9204 a few years ago. My brother recently got the original for playstation though

That is awesome! But in my humble opinion, there are so many other great Genesis games alongside TJ&E
Badass
This is the single most greatest thing I have ever seen/heard in my entire life.
Sorry for the grammar Nazism, but it's either "most great" or "greatest"; "most greatest" is a double negative.
@@antipsychotic451 I think they could go further with mostest greatest, which would be a quadruple positive
FuuucK!!! THIS IS SO GREAT!!!!
This was so Awesome, Thanks! These Toe Jammin, Big Earl Slammin, Wham Bammin Thank You Mammin Melodies Made my day!
Hahaha yesssss! ToeJam & Earl was me and my brothers all time favorite! You guys are awesome! 💚
holy shit i really enjoyed this. Great work super creative@!@#@@#@#@#
Thank you for reminding me of this iconic game!

Best music video in UA-cam
Jammin'!
The snare drum hot tub from Level 0. Epic win!
La la laaaa! 🙃
This rules. HARD.
Amazing! Surprised you guys don't sell tapes. I bet you could make some pretty good cash that way!
Thank you. Smiling from ear to ear
Got it...
This game had one of THE BEST soundtracks. Great work! I love how your drummer switches to the pads when the keys aren't going to keep some of the digital elements in the mix
The fact that this only has 6.8k views as of Dec 2020 is a disgrace. I hope this vaults into 2021! #Money! #Wahhhhhhh
Excellent
I wanted to make a toe jam and earl cover band . This awesome
It's very fun music to play! I definitely recommend covering it!
Radical !
That's a very life-like drum machine you got there
Each and every one of you are PERFECT on every song! Your playing is so good that I can hear OOGIE BOOGIE BOOGIE every now and then.
I'm about to cry of joy! The first Toejam & Earl has my all-time favorite OST from games. Songs have a special place in my heart.
SEGA/Paramount really need to make a movie based on these characters.
We are available to record the soundtrack, get at us SEGA and Paramount!
I got some news for you buddy
Basketball player Steph Curry is looking into it
No. If they were going to do it, 1996 was the time.
That big earl bump hits different!
You guys have no idea how much I appreciate this
Thank you for this. We are watching true Funk Masters. The Great Funkopotamous is proud!
So awesome to see this performed live at Classic Game Fest, cheers folks!
You guys are killing it. Awesome stuff
Rad !
I never thought someone else would beat me to this of all things. Yall are legends in my mind. Ive shown this to several people already.
very cool
Stunningly put together, talented humans. I love you.
OK yeah, this was awesome. I mean, you could have done just the first track and people would have been thrilled, but you went ahead and did the entire soundtrack. Bravo !
I typed in t&j cover and you were the 1st to come up. I was not let down you guys nailed it!!!!!!! Thank you so much this made my day. Also love that you had the sounds programmed into the drum kit!!!
Thanks so much! Actually did not know we are the first result :O Yeah it just so happened that Justin had the drum pad and we just knew we had to do it ha ha
@@SuperHiTopsVGM it turned out amazing yall rock!!

This is absolutely amazing one of my favorite games. I’m extremely impressed
FUNKY YO! Love it.

I can't tell you guys how many times I've listened to this medley. This is amazing and brings me back to the good old days. I'll probably listen to it a million more times.
Not all héros wear capes, some wear flat hats
I've had to switch up my cap lately because that one basically disintegrated ha ha. I do enjoy my flat hats though, thank you! (this is Chris)
Hell yeah ! UA-cam offers me this completely off the cuff and I'm excited in anticipation, because covering Toejam & Earl, this unique nugget of its kind (at the time as today, in fact), is so cool!! And you do it wonderfully well... And you went so far as to use samples from the game! Thank you for brightening up my sleepless night
I love how base-focused this soundtrack is.
Oh C'MON!!! Only 51K views? this is EPIC!!!
