- The Cuphead - Delicious Last Course soundtrack is comprised of over 110 musicians, performing big band & symphonic music. In Summer of 2021 - in the midst of the COVID pandemic - Studio MDHR brought those musicians together for a series of carefully planned recording sessions.
This is an exclusive look at how some of the game’s music was created. We hope it brings a smile to your face.

LYRICS:
Cuphead
Mugman and
Chalice make a deal
As a team
Adventuring
To help make Chalice real
It’s the Delicious Last Course
Oh the Delicious Last Course
One can eat their fill
and still stay until
the Delicious Last Course
It’s the Delicious Last Course
Oh that Delicious Last Course
There’s tarts, cakes and pies
a dozen scones ‘oh my!’
for that Delicious Last Course
Oh Ms. Chalice just wants to be
just as real as real can be
With the Wondertart
she can then take heart,
it’s off to the bakery
Chef Saltbaker has a plan
The best tart maker in the land
If they’re expedient
with the ingredients
then he might just lend a hand
With that Delicious Last Course
Oh that Delicious Last Course
If there’s a single meal
To help make Chalice real
It’s the Delicious Last Course
Oh the Delicious Last Course
Oh the Delicious Last Course
Searching à la carte
To bake the Wondertart
For the Delicious Last Course
Using recipes to get
Necessities for the
Delicious Last Course
With a wink and a song as long as
Nothing goes wrong...
With that Delicious Last Course

The fact that i recognise some of the musicians in this video from previous music videos of the Cuphead soundtrack really made my heart warm c:
Gracias por el Guego ya me pasé el Guego completo
Your new music Is truly gonna *slap* the audience away during those new boss fights!
Parry that audience if they're wearing pink!
the gameplay is gonna slap even harder
Facts
I can confirm I was slapped hard
StudioMDHR is so good, they found a word to rhyme with "ingredient".
It has been far too long since we've had one of these, such an absolute treat.
This did in fact bring a smile to my face. Thank you for everything you do. Cuphead and The Delicious Last Course is an absolute masterpiece (chef kiss 💋).
I love it how everything MDHR does transports you back in time.
So the DLC is about Cuphead, Chalice and Mugmann getting the ingredients to make a magic tart and make chalice real and not a ghost as in the first game?
Game working 7 year's music,animation, colours. It hard thanks studio MDHR in 2017 year

Im exited the release date is on my birthday next year :D
SAME
@@mekwarm3130 nice
Has anyone pointed out that from the new year there is exactly 25 weeks until the DLC and Cuphead has 25 bosses and run n guns in total? I think it's a perfect opportunity for a countdown, I'm rebeating the game for sure with only defeating one boss a week!
Del 1 al 10 le doy un 1000000000000
December 10th is my birthday. How did you guess the date of the video?
That first part sounded like something out of a final boss (right out of Mario or some shit lol)
I'am big fan to cuphead 🥰🤩
The sad thing is that a video game music is way better then the avrage music today
Every time I play Cuphead with one of my friends I always sing along to the title song. Happy to see I'm gonna annoy them with a brand new one to sing every time we start playing :D
Felicidades equipo de cuphead ❤
Eu lembro como se fosse ontem que eu era criança e sempre tentei abaixar cuojead no meu celular eu era apaixonado por aquele jogo maravilhoso lindo e rico que se tornou um jogo que marcou a minha infância muito mesmo a música os bosses e até o nome deles eu e o meu primo inventavam um nome maluco que tempo gosto de jogos agora eu tou muito mais ansioso para o (cuphead dlc) que tbm vai marcar a minha infância muito mesmo :)
beautiful
Cant wait for chalice to become real and be a scantily clad r34 figure in the true ending
Oh my lord! I need an extended version of this 🤯
Take my money and gimme that meal!
Beautifull
You mean I get to listen to this for FREE? I’m gonna be listening to this on repeat for the next 6 days now.
Make a new feature where you can just go to the old one where ms chalice wasn’t there but if there was a another like snowy island you can just go to that one. On the main menu screens
Valeu cada centavo 👍👌
Epic!!!
Lo estaba esperando durante mucho tiempo podrían poner like a mi comentario
Take my money now!
Is there a soundtrack to purchase it is the best of any game ever made…
There is
Epic
Love it!❤️
simplemente increíble ♥
Will you guys consider releasing this soundtrack on vinyl records? I would totally pick it up if you did.
who else was snapping to the beat during the segment at 1:19?
I thought they started playing the Smash Bros Brawl Title Theme for a second LOL It must be the harp!
1 MORE DAY
TRIANGLE!!!!!
I am sold. Now make cds of the soundtrack.
Holy hell that swings! Amazing.
Loving this
Oh hello foekoe!
Same
Are you a furry?
Big chungus
yeah
My Grandma loved the '30s cartoons, i've shown her this game, even if i was the only able to play it, she was amazed by the art, music and the aesthetics, she was proud of creators and wanted to see more in the future. I told her a new adventure was coming soon.
Even if she's in a better world now, i'll always remember her when playing this beautiful game.
[UPDATE]
I did it, grandma! I've completed it! There was that Legendary Chalice, now as Ms. Chalice, a-and the bosses, animation and the music! did you see it? It was amazing!
I miss you so much :(
🥺
Rest in peace.
Im glad she loved it
:( you gave me chills man rest in peace
Aww, thank you for sharing ^^ It means a lot. That's really special.
Rest in peace.
Fun fact: If you listen to the lyrics more closely, it tells the story on why they went on that island.
Yeah I was watching it with the subtitles on. From what I can gather, they are there to help Chalice become alive again, right?
@@GhostCT3 oh
i thought it was getting pieces of an airplane to escape the island
@@GhostCT3 me too
The lyrics are in the desc. It seems to be that Cuphead and Mugman made a deal with Ms. Chalice to help her be real by gathering ingredients on the island so that Chef Saltbaker can make a "Wondertart". Seems fun!
its like the og title theme where they explained the story in the lyrics
The part where the three girls singing the lyrics is spot-on as if you are watching inside the theaters in the 1920s era.
It's More like the 1930s but yeah I agree that they nailed the period spot on
yet in the game show award they used bimbos to sing the song and not the actual women who sing the song
@@Dovaz921 they could've been singing and also that's rude
I instantly thought of train train from fallout 4 lol
@@Dovaz921 lmao incel
The most underappreciated work in cuphead games, thank you for releasing this 🙏
If the music is this good you know the game will be legendary
@@agent_t147 FAX.
one of the best songs from the first game is Mr KingDice
@@Z15-m3x don’t you mean die house?
@@mr.chokesondik6538 yes
This doesn't just bring a smile but it warms my heart and brings me so much happiness. The love and care the team puts into their work will forever be a big source of inspiration for me.
This is even more grandiose than the actual Cuphead OST. This is going to be so huge. I actually cannot wait.
It's not. Cuphead's original soundtrack will never be topped.
@@DramaticQuantom we haven't heard it yet m8
@@Yohoat Sure, but really?
Can just we love both and stop comparing?
@@reno.rodolfo3089 just because I'm comparing does not mean I don't love both? The cuphead soundtrack is some of the best video game music I've ever fucking heard, I'm just excited because they seem to have upped the ante ever more with this one.
I can't wait to feel the frustration while playing this game. So I'm pretty hyped for it! The music is what makes this game a masterpiece in my eyes!
*ears
@@donnnut that too
200
I feel like I'm in the 30's when these 3 women start singing, by the way, they sing wonderfully!
This sounds amazing!!! Everyone did such an amazing job with putting this together. It sounded so mystical and magical at first and I loved how it changed to jazz! I am so excited to hear the soundtrack of the DLC soon!!! ^^
Yes
Forget about the music the gameplay about to be FIRE 🔥🔥🔥
