The fact that I just watched a random person rate every song from undertale for an hour really says how entertaining you are. A new subscriber fills you with determination
I'm pretty sure "Song That Might Play When You Fight Sans" is his actual battle theme. It doesn't play because, well, there's no way to fight Sans on the pacifist/neutral route and on the genocide, Megalovania is a theme that represents the player (hence the name). So I don't think you can call it scraped, it's more like a joke or maybe even like a part of the lore, since every major monster has to have an overworld and a battle theme attached to them.
I completely agree with this, not tryna plug my own tierlist, but I do like looking at STMPWYFS as Sans' battle theme and MEGALOVANIA as the boss theme for the player during the Genocide route that is initiated by the player fighting Sans. I mean, even the name 'megalovania' is a play on the word megalomania or megalomaniac, which is a word defined as a person who is obsessed with their own power, just like the player in the Genocide route.
Glad to see Another Medium at the top. I absolutely love the slow "angelic" part and how the piano slowly gets introduced before the rest of the instruments come back. The only negative thing I can say is how I associate it with Alphys constantly bugging me with the updates.
i replayed undertale recently and man "his theme" still really gets me, even more than it did the first time i played the game. I really do feel like with the passing of time asriel as a character just gets more and more relatable and real, especially with that song basically being a representation of his suffering. poor asriel :(
I personally have a few theories to do with Song that might play when you fight Sans and why it was scrapped but still remains on the ost album. 1 is that when Toby was making the game there was going to be a mechanic that during San's fight you had an extremely low chance to get this theme instead of Megalovania (like a shiny pokemon) but was scrapped due to the fact that it doesn't fit the moment at all. The name would allude to the fact that this song may, albeit with a very low chance, play when fighting Sans. 2 is that Sans was originally meant to have a fight outside the genocide route (maybe through normal neutral/pacifist, maybe through Hard Mode) and this is the silly theme for what would likely be a silly fight. This is probably more likely than 1 and has the name of the song make the player question why this song "might" play when you fight Sans, as a nod to the genocide route that most players would not know about on their first run. 3 is that Sans is a very meta character and is supposed to fight you in the laws of the game, but simply cannot be bothered. He has a fight theme written and everything, but he doesn't do what he's supposed to do and it never plays. This is my personal favourite theory, as it perfectly fits Sans as a character and is absolutely something he would do. This makes it seem like the original title was "Song that plays when you fight Sans", but is now "might" because it never actually happens.
I kinda thought that the name more meant that it was a prototype. I know MEGALOVANIA predates it most likeley from the version of it in the halloween hack, but maybe toby created it as a prototype theme for the sans fight, but as you say, it didn't fit the tone and it got scrapped in favor of MEGALOVANIA. Cool ideas tho! Oops just realised you basically said this in the video. dammit this is why you bloody watch the full video before commenting
Great video man! Fun fact: A large portion of the songs from the soundtrack are pitched different than they are in-game. Some are obvious like the game over theme, premonition, and chill. Others are pretty subtle like death by glamour, snowy, and my favorite, respite. Respite because something about the pitch being higher in the soundtrack makes the "F" note really harsh for some reason. It's the second and fifth note in the song. I think all of the songs sound better in game.
what’s the thing with devs doing this 😭😭 like why can’t it just be the same as in the game?? i was just listening to blank fairy from silent hill 2 on spotify and it was so jarring with static sounds that weren’t in the game version.
@@korova7097 I'm no music tech guy but I think it's because the game reads the music differently than like spotify, and trying to replicate it would result in a loss in fidelity. Just a wild guess tho. Most of the time it's a slight change in pitch or timbre that most wouldn't even notice (Unless you are cursed with perfect pitch like I am). It also makes playing the game a bit more special in that regard.
To me Death By Glamour was by far the most obvious one, maybe it’s because I’ve listened to the damn thing on Spotify so many times but when I replayed the game recently I could immediately hear the slight pitch shift and I felt like I was being messed with by someone.
* LET'S GO!!!! S TIER DUMMY!!!! * This song is easily my favourite in the game, and it gets slept on so much, so I'm glad it's getting the justice it deserves here!!
My personal favorite song in the soundtrack has and always will be spiderdance. Followed closely by Another Medium, Core, Battle against a True Hero, Undertale, and Fallen Down (reprise). Honorable mentions go to Hopes and Dreams, and Save the World. Side note: I also cry everytime I hear Undertale. The first time seeing this scene might be a core gaming memory. His theme is a tearjerker too. Thanks for an awesome video. Subscribed. Will probably watch again. lol
A solid selection of songs to be sure. Undertale used to make me cry when listening to it but I think I'm passed that now. Thanks so much for watching!
This tier/review is so well done and flows so nicely! Your comments are so heartfelt too, they really feel like someone's opinion and not just trying to say what is objectively better. Amazing job man, hope you can continue doing UA-cam and get more views, you absolutely deserve them ❤
Bro you almost made me cry when you were talking about the Undertale track, when i then clicked out to read the comments i realised that only 2000 people had watched the video. Great video keep it up your worth more views.
Fun fact : Dating start is inspired by Maya's theme (turnabout sisters) in Phoenix wright. That's probably why you feel like it's stretched out, so it's sounds as much as turnabout sisters as possible.
Coming back to this video a few hours after watching it and it's really made me dwell on everything this game means to me. To think I'd get this much emotion out of a song ranking. Others couldn't compare and for that I change this video up to s tier
Regarding what you said about ASGORE, honestly with the at minimum 50 times I’ve listened to Undertale The Musical (I keep it on loop in the background a lot, often going up to four times in one day) I can’t hear pretty much *any* of these songs without lyrics 😭😂
this video was super cool, your voice is lovely and your opinions are based. the way you emotionally summed up your feelings about some of these songs and how moving they are is super relatable - so so on point and this game and soundtrack feel just as impactful now as they did 7 years ago, its cool to see someone else who feels that too 💖
Me who loves the "UwU" songs: :( This was a great video, good job, be proud of your work and effort. Like you, Undertale is something I always come back to, that and Night in the Woods got me through a lot as a kid
Respectfully I still consider Spear of Justice an S tier. Song just makes me want to break out into a sword fight/dance every time I hear it! Great video, your voice is very soothing
Very good video! Though I have a completely irrational love for Core Approach for some reason. It just sounds so comforting and nice. I'm not sure how to explain it. But I've listened to it on loop for hours without getting tired of it lol
Wow... Just wow man. This was an experience. I wasn't expecting to get so emotional through this. Undertale has been with me for so long now and I actually miss seeing content about it. This video is absolutely amazing. Even though it's just a soundtrack tier list, for me it was a total tear list. Hearing all of these again is like a rollercoaster of memories. I'm so happy i saw this on my recommended. UA-cam is finally doing its job haha. Thank you so much again. Instantly subscribed. See you again ❤
@@jerichode Exactly, talking about the basics and the core of the experience is something i haven't seen for a very long time in the Undertale fandom. Thank you so much for this ❤️
Finale is genuinely one of my top 5 songs in this soundtrack, and it's all because of that tiny nod to Asriel around the middle of the song, it's really clever because at that point in the game if it's your first playthrough, you don't know the relevance of that, so you don't even notice it, but once you go back, you finally hear it and everything falls into place. It's such a tiny detail and yet it does so much
38:51 Undertale gives me memories of hanging out with my friends that also are fans of Undertale and doing Undertale related things with them. This song makes me cry in a good way.
Interesting. Ive always found The Choice to be really calming. Something about it feels really angelic and nice to listen. I know its mostly ambience, but i feel like sometimes that really all you need to make someone feel comfortable lmfao The surprise i got when you put it in F tier is pretty hilarious lol Great video though!
Mad mew mew is a spider dance dummy nes tuned remix and is platform exclusive to the platform I play on is really great. And then you realize mad mew mew and mad dummy are the same. That they found themselves is amazing
I started to tear up when you were talking about what Undertale, its titular song, and its soundtrack as a whole represents. The amount of growth I've gone through since Undertale's release back in 2015 is so emotional and nostalgic to look back on. Undertale got me through the hardest part of my life. I don't think that I'd be creating music today without its influence on my youth, hell I'm not even sure if I'd still be here without it. Toby Fox really created a masterpiece that shaped a generation. Amazing video, keep up the great work.
death by glamour was and always will be my absolute favorite, i also really love the other mettaton associated songs [particularly it's showtime, hotel, core]. bonetrousle and spider dance are up there somewhere, and of course the trilogy of hopes and dreams/save the world/last goodbye. it's hard to rank undertale songs when majority of them are just so good
Sometimes I forget that people are capable of seeing fallen down as a 'happy' song, I have long since been conditioned to cry to that song and hearing it described as something other than the embodiment of trauma is odd
I thought I was the only one who’s favourite Undertale song was Another Medium 😭 Like you said, it is absolutely overwhelming and brings back so many great memories… I feel like I’m flying every time I listen to it Good video! You’ve earned my sub 🔥
my most controversial Undertale OST take is that Hopes and Dreams just doesn't impress me a ton, even in the context of the game. i've seen so many remixes and comment sections where people are fawning over it, but I dunno I think there's a lot of better songs.
This is such an amazing video. Undertale is the one game I always come back to when lifes getting to me. This video is such a good representation of how I feel about this game. Great video and I'm subscribing.
Undertale is such a strong mainstay of my life no matter who long it gets between listening to it. It's just so beautiful, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Absolutely amazing video! For the most part, I agreed with your rankings actually. Of course there's a few songs that I would change because, well, personal preference, but overall the way this video was edited and constructed was very consumable, especially for a video that's over an hour. Keep up the good work man!
42:50 stop no I don’t need to cry. Back when I found undertale I didn’t even think I even had a future to grow into but now…even though I’m still in the middle of a setback the me that found undertale 6-7 years ago still wouldn’t have thought where I am was possible for her.
I actually really like the ambient songs like small shock(especially the genocide version) and core approach they just have a nice calming feeling. Good video!
I know I'm really late to the party, but this is one of my favorite Undertale videos on youtube. The amount of effort this must have taken is outstanding, congrats on a new sub and good luck for your future videos :)
there really is something about "His Theme", specifically. i haven't really interacted much with Undertale in YEARS and haven't actively listened to any of the songs in ages either but somehow, that song still makes me immediately tear up. i don't know what exactly it is but it's definitely something. anyway, this was really entertaining! thanks for making this video and thank you for actually having the songs in there as well, that made everything 1000x better :)
Awesome video! Bumping for algorithm. I can't understate how much Undertale and its music have impacted my life and the way I write stories. I have a bunch of songs from the OST in different playlists that I can pull out to get myself in the right mood when writing a scene, especially Respite and An Ending. ❤
MAN. This video goes so extremely hard. This was my first video from you and I'm just going to binge the catalogue of stuffs you have made. Really, hearing you talk about an Undertale retrospective made me really nostalgic and reminded me how much I love the Game and How much Undertale has impacted everyone. Your video essay kept me company while I was drawing! I hope to see more videos from you soon :))) Keep up the good work!
Man, you're underrated, I can really see you put a lot of effort on this video, being very specific on the ranking while giving us context of your humor. I would like to see more of your ranking videos (or maybe commentry) in the future. Anyway, on the part you mention about the song Undertale. This made me love that song even more; Describing the instruments of what theorically happened of story of the Dremurr family. And then explaining your thought process about yourself in addition; Its a nice thing to talk about. Nevertheless, just keep doing of what you're doing! keep diging and you'll eventually find the sunlight. Stay Determined!
I got through this whole video fine (mostly, Undertale always chokes me up) until the first notes of His Theme started and I started sobbing. I was very late to the Undertale hype, 21yrs old and had a chaotic few years prior, and this entire soundtrack is one of few OST's thay make me feel this much. I named my cat Asriel (cause he's a tiny baby but also an asshole sometimes, which is like his flowey side lmao) only about a month after I finished my first playthrough. I was there when he was born, to a feral who shouldn't have been able to have kittens. 2 months later I had to move and he was the only thing I really had. He turns 4 this December, and every time I hear Asriel's motif it gets me right in my soul.
Great video! The one thing I will fight you to the death over is that you did Song That Might Play When You Fight Sans dirty by assuming it was scrapped - given the title, I think it was never made with the intent of being in the game. The way I see it, it's here as an alternative to Megalovania if you had fought Sans on a non-Genocide route - it's placed, OST-wise, in the spot between Undertale and The Choice, implying it'd play between the long corridor and Sans confronting you. The way I see it, it's meant to imply "this is what sans's theme would've sounded like in-battle, but he's not going to fight you". And honestly, compared to the rest of the video, it feels pretty disingenuous to rank it poorly due to the context. Other than that, I mostly agree with you points - great watch!
Wow I'm actually blown away by how much I dont know about Undertale still I thought I had learned all there was to learn. That's super interesting and yeah you're right it makes sense given its placement. Thanks!
The title saying " I ranked EVERY song in Undertale " and the fact you have only 196 subs was a clear sign this is a youtuber i should sub to, great work man
This was recommended to me after I listened to the Undertale Yellow soundtrack. An hour and many reviews later, I now wonder what you'd think of those 18 songs. Some of remixes and some are original, but they all still sound good. Worth a listen if you want more music or more to review. (Aha, yeah, didn't ask for Deltarune reviews. Take that.)
It was one of those "Let's make a game for a different soul!" kind of games that is weirdly still being made as of December 2022. Shows promise and the demo is good for an alternate universe where you play as Justice instead. Oh, and only 17 of the tracks are on the official set list here. There's a second bonus hiding on the Game Jolt page of all places.
I really recommend listening to Eric L. He’s a trombonist who made a bunch of jazz covers of undertale songs (other game soundtracks too but I mainly listen for the undertale ones)
You are so underrated, I know this is true, because I spent an hour of my time to listen to a random person talk about a funny video game ost. I find it actually crazy that you don't even have 1k subs, I can tell how much time in effort you put into this video. GOOD. JOB!
I really sat through this entire video fully and 100% invested- I know you were joking about how this is your opinion and so you don’t care what any one things of it- BUT YOU’RE RIGHT!!!! THIS LIST IS RIGHT!!!!!! YOUR REASONING IS RIGHT!!!!!! Like I completely and fully agree with almost every one. I also found it just kind of funny that I also played it when I was 13 and am also 20 now so maybe the age inspires similar tastes lmao …however I did go 7 years not knowing finale/your best friend was a rendition of “fun” and finale was like one of my favorites for years and now I need to reevaluate after this revelation 😭😭😭😭
i think because of deltarune undertale is still relevant. like how breaking bad remained relevant for so long because of better call saul. but both undertale and breaking bad are still relevant because of the huge impact they both had on their respective mediums.

Ah I’m dead. I just decided to redownload Undertale off steam coincidentally before I got lucky enough to find ur channel pop up in my feed. Replaying it brought back so much nostalgia and slight terror as I know how long I may or may not be getting the shit beat out of me by Sans again. Nonetheless I loved this video through and through and I was surprised to see next to no songs I actually disagree with where u placed them. Keep up the great work with these videos and I hope u stay with the youtubeing? (Pretend it’s a word)
SAME I THINK I HAD TO GOOGLE UNDYNE MY VERY FIRST TIME BC I DIDNT REALIZE I HAD TO RUN in other news, if you DONT run, every time, eventually she stops turning you green so when you DO run, every time she catches you you can just. peace out again.
I think you did waterfall dirty because the slow build up, along with the nature of you being in a place of mystery and unknown, considering the many easter eggs you find there, for example, gaster in a room, if your lucky enough, adds to all the build up and as you discover more about the area, such as, again, the easter eggs, you realise there is so much mystery and awe surrounding the place, until the end, where you go back to no longer needing to explore the area, as you are done with it
About Home (Music Box), i watched a video somewhere that says that the notes are purposely slightly off tempo at points to make it sound more like an actual music box
This video essay and re-listen of the soundtrack was really fun and brought back some great emotions and memories from elementary school :,) I've just found your channel around a week ago through your FNaF video, and I think you've found yourself a sub. I didn't know that you've given up on this channel a few times and it surprises me because you make pretty fun and relatable videos! It's like hanging out with a homie. I'm looking forward to whatever comes in the future! :)
This was very enjoyable to watch and listen, specifically the entry of Undertale as I also have a lot of emotions surrounding this song as well Undertale too me personally feels like the lasting impression or the echo of your time in the underground controlling frisk and helping them through this wondrous yet dangerous place with your help frisk finds new friends a new family and maybe even a new home and you where there right beside them when Undertale plays you can't help but remember that time you spent making those new friends who feel real to you, it feels like a promise to always be there to help you as you had helped them even in your darkest hours
"We all know where this song's gonna be ranked. What else can I say about such an Iconic Song? It's f*cking megalovania, come on man." That's like saying, _"It's a meme song, it's iconic, therefore it's better than anything else, what else can I say?_ Sad Fact: There are other Undertale Themes that are better or just as good as megalovania. A masterpiece has to be a meme for it to be recognized by a majority of people who thinks they got taste in music, but are really just there for the funny.
@@jerichode so did i, but just saying there are better songs that hits harder or are just as good as megalovania. people just don't pay much attention to it because they aren't a meme. And it's ridiculous that the only reason why people rank something as the best is because it's a meme and how popular it is.
The fact that I just watched a random person rate every song from undertale for an hour really says how entertaining you are. A new subscriber fills you with determination
Thank you!
Same lmao
@@jerichode 6yh
The problem is that there’s still 2 songs which are exclusively on the switch version
@@brycesonmoon655what are they called?
I honestly can't listen to Mettaton songs without hearing Man on the Internet Mettaton's voice and lyrics.
For me it's his voice for Papyrus, that's all I can hear after going to listen to the musical.
SAME!
I can't listen to death by glamour anymore without filling in instrumentmaniac's part
@@jerichodedo you hear something like: ahem *NYEH HEH HEH! I THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL BEAT YOU WITH THE POWER OF GLAMOUR!*

I'm pretty sure "Song That Might Play When You Fight Sans" is his actual battle theme. It doesn't play because, well, there's no way to fight Sans on the pacifist/neutral route and on the genocide, Megalovania is a theme that represents the player (hence the name). So I don't think you can call it scraped, it's more like a joke or maybe even like a part of the lore, since every major monster has to have an overworld and a battle theme attached to them.
That's actually a really interesting way to look at that song I never thought of it that. You might be on to something there!
I completely agree with this, not tryna plug my own tierlist, but I do like looking at STMPWYFS as Sans' battle theme and MEGALOVANIA as the boss theme for the player during the Genocide route that is initiated by the player fighting Sans. I mean, even the name 'megalovania' is a play on the word megalomania or megalomaniac, which is a word defined as a person who is obsessed with their own power, just like the player in the Genocide route.
a different approach is that the heavy meatal is the player and the blues-inspired main melody is sans.
In my opinion Bergentrückung is part of ASGORE. It makes the song so much deeper and represents Asgores pain so well. I love it
Yes 👍
not to the same extent but I would say something similar for But The Earth Refused to Die
Nagito Komaeda and Sans should've NOT BEEN IN MY HEAD FIRST
KANYE WEST NO

Yeah, His Theme feels like it was way ahead of its time. I don't think most people truly appreciate it.
My man doesn't understand the absolute BOP that ,,Tem Shop " is.
Best remixes online by far
Yeah the best remixes for sure
I think it just has an extreme mandela effect on me. I'm pretty sure I heard this song before 2015 😂
I was honestly astounded to see it had so little views given it's quality, hope it gets more traction!
Hey thank you so much!

He has a fight theme written and everything, but he doesn't do what he's supposed to do and it never plays. This is my personal favourite theory, as it perfectly fits Sans as a character and is absolutely something he would do. This makes it seem like the original title was "Song that plays when you fight Sans", but is now "might" because it never actually happens.
I love how one song can cause so much speculation and intrigue within the community.

All The UwU Songs Ranked
C Tier
3 Uwa! So Heats!
S Tier
2 Uwa! So Temperate!
1 Uwa! So Holiday
Me and the boys pumping to Elevator theme
Yessir
Respectfully I still consider Spear of Justice an S tier. Song just makes me want to break out into a sword fight/dance every time I hear it!
Great video, your voice is very soothing
For me it only just barely falls short of S. Very very barely
Very good video! Though I have a completely irrational love for Core Approach for some reason. It just sounds so comforting and nice. I'm not sure how to explain it. But I've listened to it on loop for hours without getting tired of it lol
We've all got one song like that, although I think I'd go insane listening to CORE Approach for that long haha
13:49 it says right there on the screen that the song plays in january in february too lol
great video so far though :)
Whoops, I cannot read
Wow... Just wow man. This was an experience. I wasn't expecting to get so emotional through this. Undertale has been with me for so long now and I actually miss seeing content about it. This video is absolutely amazing. Even though it's just a soundtrack tier list, for me it was a total tear list. Hearing all of these again is like a rollercoaster of memories. I'm so happy i saw this on my recommended. UA-cam is finally doing its job haha.
Thank you so much again.
Instantly subscribed.
See you again ❤
I feel most Undertale content now just assumes you know the game. I think its good to go back to the basics and understand why we love the game.
@@jerichode Exactly, talking about the basics and the core of the experience is something i haven't seen for a very long time in the Undertale fandom. Thank you so much for this ❤️
Finale is genuinely one of my top 5 songs in this soundtrack, and it's all because of that tiny nod to Asriel around the middle of the song, it's really clever because at that point in the game if it's your first playthrough, you don't know the relevance of that, so you don't even notice it, but once you go back, you finally hear it and everything falls into place. It's such a tiny detail and yet it does so much
It is a gorgeous song fr fr
38:51 Undertale gives me memories of hanging out with my friends that also are fans of Undertale and doing Undertale related things with them. This song makes me cry in a good way.
Real😢
YEAHHHHHH ANOTHER MEDIUM ON TOO BAYBEEEE!!!! PEOPLE CALLED ME CRAZY WHEN I SAID IT WAS PEAK BUT LOOK AT ME NOW!!!!!!!
HELLĹLLLLLLLLLLLL YEAAAAAAAAAAAA
Interesting.
Ive always found The Choice to be really calming. Something about it feels really angelic and nice to listen. I know its mostly ambience, but i feel like sometimes that really all you need to make someone feel comfortable lmfao
The surprise i got when you put it in F tier is pretty hilarious lol
Great video though!
Cool video! Unfortunately, Mad Mew Mew was not included which severely reduces the overall video quality so I will have to put it high D tier at best.
Hell yeah! Made it out of F tier!
Mad mew mew is a spider dance dummy nes tuned remix and is platform exclusive to the platform I play on is really great. And then you realize mad mew mew and mad dummy are the same. That they found themselves is amazing
I started to tear up when you were talking about what Undertale, its titular song, and its soundtrack as a whole represents. The amount of growth I've gone through since Undertale's release back in 2015 is so emotional and nostalgic to look back on. Undertale got me through the hardest part of my life. I don't think that I'd be creating music today without its influence on my youth, hell I'm not even sure if I'd still be here without it. Toby Fox really created a masterpiece that shaped a generation.
Amazing video, keep up the great work.
the professionalism and quality of this video fills you with determination! But seriously you're hella underrated
Thank you so much!
The speech at 25:40 gives me the chilliest of chills
Finally someone who apreciates Battle Against A True Hero
Is a banger
Doesn't evereyone appreciate it?
@@macaroniisnice I mean it as in I just think people don't talk about it enough.
death by glamour was and always will be my absolute favorite, i also really love the other mettaton associated songs [particularly it's showtime, hotel, core]. bonetrousle and spider dance are up there somewhere, and of course the trilogy of hopes and dreams/save the world/last goodbye. it's hard to rank undertale songs when majority of them are just so good
They're all amazing, I just like some more than others
The fact that Ooo is F tier is a war crime
I'm waiting for the bruhdotwmv tier list 😤
50:27 “I know im coming at this one pretty hard and fast”
no way 💀
😳
Sometimes I forget that people are capable of seeing fallen down as a 'happy' song, I have long since been conditioned to cry to that song and hearing it described as something other than the embodiment of trauma is odd
Different perspectives are always nice to see and have!
after all the back rooms videos it feels mostly nostalgic yet mysterious
That transition in the Papyrus boss fight from Nyeh Heh Heh! to Bonetrousle is really cool!
I thought I was the only one who’s favourite Undertale song was Another Medium 😭 Like you said, it is absolutely overwhelming and brings back so many great memories… I feel like I’m flying every time I listen to it
Good video! You’ve earned my sub 🔥
ITS SO FUCKING GOOD
Its such a good song
my most controversial Undertale OST take is that Hopes and Dreams just doesn't impress me a ton, even in the context of the game. i've seen so many remixes and comment sections where people are fawning over it, but I dunno I think there's a lot of better songs.
When I started reading this I was not expecting the twist ending
I agree that your take is very controversial
Same here
nuh uh
This is such an amazing video. Undertale is the one game I always come back to when lifes getting to me. This video is such a good representation of how I feel about this game. Great video and I'm subscribing.
Undertale is such a strong mainstay of my life no matter who long it gets between listening to it. It's just so beautiful, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
this video is equal parts comedic, entertaining and heartwarming. massively underrated, i would love to see more videos in the future!!
Thank you so much! I'll keep at it
amazing video with only 18k views AND 385 SUBS WTH U DESERVE SO MUCH MORE!!!! keep going man, this is great
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed!
You can only truly appreciate “Dating start!” while listening to an Alpharad sponsor read
As many have said
Absolutely amazing video!
For the most part, I agreed with your rankings actually. Of course there's a few songs that I would change because, well, personal preference, but overall the way this video was edited and constructed was very consumable, especially for a video that's over an hour. Keep up the good work man!
Ah I see, a man with equally as correct opinions
42:50 stop no I don’t need to cry. Back when I found undertale I didn’t even think I even had a future to grow into but now…even though I’m still in the middle of a setback the me that found undertale 6-7 years ago still wouldn’t have thought where I am was possible for her.
Hey, who knows where you'll be in 6-7 more years! Stay determined
I'm not gonna lie, i thought this was a channel with at least 2K subscribers...Then i looked at the subscriber count! 88?! So underrated!
Haha 2k subscribers, I wish! Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
A new subscriber earned...
It fills you with *_determination_*
Hell yes, thank you!
I’m surprised at how small your channel is, this video is so detailed and well made!
Haha, thank you so much!
The fact that I didn't even realise that I watched the full video and it maybe felt like 15 minutes is crazy...
Well I'm so glad you liked it
I actually really like the ambient songs like small shock(especially the genocide version) and core approach they just have a nice calming feeling.
Good video!
The Geno version of Small Shock is incredibly relaxing
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night and premonition starts playing.
Scary
18:24
You know you're gonna have a bad time.
I know I'm really late to the party, but this is one of my favorite Undertale videos on youtube. The amount of effort this must have taken is outstanding, congrats on a new sub and good luck for your future videos :)
Thank you so much, that's incredibly high praise!
there really is something about "His Theme", specifically. i haven't really interacted much with Undertale in YEARS and haven't actively listened to any of the songs in ages either but somehow, that song still makes me immediately tear up. i don't know what exactly it is but it's definitely something. anyway, this was really entertaining! thanks for making this video and thank you for actually having the songs in there as well, that made everything 1000x better :)
I'm so glad you decided to check out the video!
Awesome video! Bumping for algorithm. I can't understate how much Undertale and its music have impacted my life and the way I write stories. I have a bunch of songs from the OST in different playlists that I can pull out to get myself in the right mood when writing a scene, especially Respite and An Ending. ❤
Toby really went ungodly hard on this soundtrack for no reason
MAN. This video goes so extremely hard. This was my first video from you and I'm just going to binge the catalogue of stuffs you have made. Really, hearing you talk about an Undertale retrospective made me really nostalgic and reminded me how much I love the Game and How much Undertale has impacted everyone. Your video essay kept me company while I was drawing! I hope to see more videos from you soon :))) Keep up the good work!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it and I was able to keep you company! I hope you enjoy the rest!
i didn't realise this video is so good yet have little view, you have my interest bro, keep up making great video like this
Thanks so much man, means the world!
Song that might play when you fight sans was put in the soundtrack to troll people who looked at the songs to see what would happen in the game
I knew he did that with other files in the game but I didn't know that's why that song was put in the soundtrack.
Man, you're underrated, I can really see you put a lot of effort on this video, being very specific on the ranking while giving us context of your humor. I would like to see more of your ranking videos (or maybe commentry) in the future.
Anyway, on the part you mention about the song Undertale. This made me love that song even more; Describing the instruments of what theorically happened of story of the Dremurr family. And then explaining your thought process about yourself in addition; Its a nice thing to talk about.
Nevertheless, just keep doing of what you're doing! keep diging and you'll eventually find the sunlight. Stay Determined!
*You read furrifaces55 comment praising your video
*You are filled with Determination.
Seriously, thank you so much man!
^ω^
Why do I imagine him just pointing a gun at the Google Home and it turning its mic off XD
I'll be honest I was more defeated and over it's nonsense lmao
@@jerichode I can imagine XD
The endings of bring it in guys and last goodbye both give me chills which is rare from music
the live piano with the static sound of the recording just hits different, especially after 7 years...
Bro absolutely
I got through this whole video fine (mostly, Undertale always chokes me up) until the first notes of His Theme started and I started sobbing.
I was very late to the Undertale hype, 21yrs old and had a chaotic few years prior, and this entire soundtrack is one of few OST's thay make me feel this much.
I named my cat Asriel (cause he's a tiny baby but also an asshole sometimes, which is like his flowey side lmao) only about a month after I finished my first playthrough. I was there when he was born, to a feral who shouldn't have been able to have kittens. 2 months later I had to move and he was the only thing I really had. He turns 4 this December, and every time I hear Asriel's motif it gets me right in my soul.
Thats an adorable name for a cat
Great video! The one thing I will fight you to the death over is that you did Song That Might Play When You Fight Sans dirty by assuming it was scrapped - given the title, I think it was never made with the intent of being in the game. The way I see it, it's here as an alternative to Megalovania if you had fought Sans on a non-Genocide route - it's placed, OST-wise, in the spot between Undertale and The Choice, implying it'd play between the long corridor and Sans confronting you. The way I see it, it's meant to imply "this is what sans's theme would've sounded like in-battle, but he's not going to fight you". And honestly, compared to the rest of the video, it feels pretty disingenuous to rank it poorly due to the context. Other than that, I mostly agree with you points - great watch!
Wow I'm actually blown away by how much I dont know about Undertale still I thought I had learned all there was to learn. That's super interesting and yeah you're right it makes sense given its placement. Thanks!
His Theme will always make me cry, without fail
I never realised how beautiful it was
@@jerichode better to have realized it now than to have never realized the beauty at all
Dummy! is and always will be my favorite song from any video game.
Dummy! Is up there as almost my favourite song but doesn't quite make it, top 5 to be sure. But of ALL video game songs? That's impressive
The title saying " I ranked EVERY song in Undertale " and the fact you have only 196 subs was a clear sign this is a youtuber i should sub to, great work man
Haha thank you so much, I hope you enjoyed the video!
@@jerichode I did, thank you! :D
Thank you for doing the impossible and ranking so many bangers!
I would move mountains for you
I agree with almost all of these!! ((Except Waterfall and Memory are huge S-tiers for me!)
Well I'm glad I got most of it right lol
I’m so glad this video popped up in my recommended
Same
I'm so glad you found it!
55:11 wide asriel
Bro I lost it at wide Asriel while editing the video.
ok but like putting long elevator over small shock is a warcrime omg
I hope you can find it within yourself to forgive me SumGhost
This was recommended to me after I listened to the Undertale Yellow soundtrack. An hour and many reviews later, I now wonder what you'd think of those 18 songs. Some of remixes and some are original, but they all still sound good. Worth a listen if you want more music or more to review.
(Aha, yeah, didn't ask for Deltarune reviews. Take that.)
I've never heard of that before lol, might give it a listen. And yeah, everyone wants a Deltarune OST review lol
It was one of those "Let's make a game for a different soul!" kind of games that is weirdly still being made as of December 2022. Shows promise and the demo is good for an alternate universe where you play as Justice instead.
Oh, and only 17 of the tracks are on the official set list here. There's a second bonus hiding on the Game Jolt page of all places.
I really recommend listening to Eric L. He’s a trombonist who made a bunch of jazz covers of undertale songs (other game soundtracks too but I mainly listen for the undertale ones)
I’m back in the car and listened to this for the 2nd time and enjoy it the same as last time!
I'm happy to be some entertainment for the ride!
@@jerichode :)
You should have mentioned the transition between heartache and sans. Its sounds so funny but good at the same time
That was something I forgot to mention, they line up really well lol
“I won’t fault Toby for making the game first and the soundtrack second”
No, he made the soundtrack first, before the game. Look it up
Oh damn fr, the more you know.
@@jerichode if I remember correctly, making the soundtrack first actually helped him process what should go in in the scenes
@@CanonicalKaoru oh that's sick
How dare you put the masterpiece that is Tem Shop Theme in F tier.
I'm only human
MY STUPID ASS KILLED GREATER DOG ON MY FIRST RUN AND I STILL REGRET IT.
I crie everytiem
this guy REALLY doesn’t like chiptune
Quite the contrary my friend
You are so underrated, I know this is true, because I spent an hour of my time to listen to a random person talk about a funny video game ost. I find it actually crazy that you don't even have 1k subs, I can tell how much time in effort you put into this video. GOOD. JOB!
I dont think you understand just how much that means to me
I really sat through this entire video fully and 100% invested- I know you were joking about how this is your opinion and so you don’t care what any one things of it- BUT YOU’RE RIGHT!!!! THIS LIST IS RIGHT!!!!!! YOUR REASONING IS RIGHT!!!!!! Like I completely and fully agree with almost every one. I also found it just kind of funny that I also played it when I was 13 and am also 20 now so maybe the age inspires similar tastes lmao
…however I did go 7 years not knowing finale/your best friend was a rendition of “fun” and finale was like one of my favorites for years and now I need to reevaluate after this revelation 😭😭😭😭
I'm glad enjoyed the video and think similarly to me (correctly). I would also like formally apologise about make that connection in your mind.
9:09 its so good tho, i get opinions and stuff but
man
Sowwy uwu
@@jerichode i fowgive yuw
Did you know that the choice is just undertale slowed down 666%
I'm choosing to believe you
Amazing content, I still love Temmie village and tem shop but other then that great content
Understandable have a good day
i think because of deltarune undertale is still relevant.
like how breaking bad remained relevant for so long because of better call saul.
but both undertale and breaking bad are still relevant because of the huge impact they
both had on their respective mediums.
I've never thought of it like that before, huh
My Tier List (I did along with you in order):
S - Heartache, Bonetrousle, Waterfall, Death by Glamour, Undertale, ASGORE, Your Best Nightmare, Finale, An Ending, Hopes and Dreams, His Theme, Respite, Battle Against a True Hero (my absolute favorite), Megalovania

Bro Waterfall in C is absolute blasphemy. Still love the video and Dummy being in S is a goated take
As a fellow Dummy enjoyer I hope your can forgive my transgressions
Ah I’m dead. I just decided to redownload Undertale off steam coincidentally before I got lucky enough to find ur channel pop up in my feed. Replaying it brought back so much nostalgia and slight terror as I know how long I may or may not be getting the shit beat out of me by Sans again. Nonetheless I loved this video through and through and I was surprised to see next to no songs I actually disagree with where u placed them. Keep up the great work with these videos and I hope u stay with the youtubeing?
(Pretend it’s a word)
Hey, I'm so glad you enjoyed! Good luck with Sans, beat him for me
SAME I THINK I HAD TO GOOGLE UNDYNE MY VERY FIRST TIME BC I DIDNT REALIZE I HAD TO RUN
in other news, if you DONT run, every time, eventually she stops turning you green so when you DO run, every time she catches you you can just. peace out again.
Ohhh thats a neat little touch
The quality that I expected thanks to your FNaF and Hollow Knight videos that is also present here fills me with DETERMINATION to keep watching you!
Thank you so much ❤
I think you did waterfall dirty because the slow build up, along with the nature of you being in a place of mystery and unknown, considering the many easter eggs you find there, for example, gaster in a room, if your lucky enough, adds to all the build up and as you discover more about the area, such as, again, the easter eggs, you realise there is so much mystery and awe surrounding the place, until the end, where you go back to no longer needing to explore the area, as you are done with it
Well I'm glad you like Waterfall
Finally. Someone who doesn’t put Megalovania as the best in the game because it’s Megalovania or hates it because it’s popular
I think people are way too polarised on that song for no reason
About Home (Music Box), i watched a video somewhere that says that the notes are purposely slightly off tempo at points to make it sound more like an actual music box
Oh, that's mad
i was scared for a sec when u said his theme was a high b tier
Lmao, gotta keep you awake
This video essay and re-listen of the soundtrack was really fun and brought back some great emotions and memories from elementary school :,)
I've just found your channel around a week ago through your FNaF video, and I think you've found yourself a sub. I didn't know that you've given up on this channel a few times and it surprises me because you make pretty fun and relatable videos! It's like hanging out with a homie. I'm looking forward to whatever comes in the future! :)
I'm so glad you enjoy the channel, I'll keep it up
This was very enjoyable to watch and listen, specifically the entry of Undertale as I also have a lot of emotions surrounding this song as well
Undertale too me personally feels like the lasting impression or the echo of your time in the underground controlling frisk and helping them through this wondrous yet dangerous place with your help frisk finds new friends a new family and maybe even a new home and you where there right beside them when Undertale plays you can't help but remember that time you spent making those new friends who feel real to you, it feels like a promise to always be there to help you as you had helped them even in your darkest hours
It's just such an emotionally resonant song
uwa so holiday also plays in jan and feb, it says on the wiki extract you showed which is why it says months
Shhhh no it doesn't
"We all know where this song's gonna be ranked. What else can I say about such an Iconic Song? It's f*cking megalovania, come on man."
That's like saying, _"It's a meme song, it's iconic, therefore it's better than anything else, what else can I say?_
Sad Fact: There are other Undertale Themes that are better or just as good as megalovania. A masterpiece has to be a meme for it to be recognized by a majority of people who thinks they got taste in music, but are really just there for the funny.
Idk man I like Megalovania
@@jerichode so did i, but just saying there are better songs that hits harder or are just as good as megalovania. people just don't pay much attention to it because they aren't a meme. And it's ridiculous that the only reason why people rank something as the best is because it's a meme and how popular it is.
"Despite everything, it's still you" -Undertale
The emotions...
Yah...
I don’t think “characters ripped out of tumblr” is a good thing necessarily. Jokes aside, stellar video 👍
You take the good with the bad
Undertale songs make me cry now
I know how you feel
