One of my hobbies is making my musically inclined friend count songs with weird time signatures and watching them lose their mind so thank you for bringing this to my attention.
DDavidonetwothree there might be a different way of charting the beats (as in 4 bars of 6/8 is the same as 3 in 4/4) buy I’m pretty sure these are accurate. There might be a few transitions that are a bit off on timing but I’m pretty sure they’re all accurate.
Ngl I could play this on piano when I was a Kirby freak, and I'm not boasting, it's not super difficult, the only saving grace is that it's all in 8. That said, having the music burned into your brain really helps.
It would probably be easier just to play it in the cluster fuck version because the emphasis of the beat changes way too much. You’d have to use all sorts of weird accents. The easiest approach is to learn the feel of each time signature that’s used and just apply them whenever they come up
joshthekiller andtailsdoll the bigger numbers on the right represent the current time signature, the smaller ones on the left is the time signature coming up next.
If I understand right, time signature works like this: X/Y where X is the number of beats in a measure and Y is the type of beat it's counting by and is only ever a multiple of 4. For example, 4/4, the most common time signature, means that the measure has 4 quarter notes per measure. 3/4 and 5/4 are similar, with 3 and 5 quarter notes per measure. 5/8 is 5 eighth notes per measure, 9/16 is 9 sixteenth notes per measure, and I'm not if there are twelfth notes or anything higher than sixteenth, and technically an 8/8 is the same as a 4/4, 6/8 is the same as 3/4, ect. which makes sense cause time signatures are written as fractions and increasing the number of notes by the same factor as you're decreasing the length of a note's measure you get the same result. Make sense?
Time signature. It is represented as a fraction, x/y X = number of beats per measure (measure is a section of music) Y = length of beat (ie, 4 represent a quarter note, 2 represents half note, 8 represents 8th note, etc). Each time signature has its own feel, such that even though 4/4 time and 2/2 are mathematically identical, they still feel different. Same goes for 6/8 and 3/4 time. It is really quite difficult to explain and even experience musicians will sometimes have different opinions on what time signature a song should be. Most music stay in 1 time signature for the entire piece, but the boss music here is unique in that the time signature changes frequently and seemingly at random. This, combined with the fast tempo, creates a feeling of uneasiness and anxiety as it is very difficult for the listener to predict what the music will do next. This happens to work very well as a theme for the boss character who is seen as mad, unhinged, unpredictable, and dangerous.

Drummer must have lost his freaking mind when he saw the sheet for the very first time
yeah in this sample-based song
@@deadbobomb6445refer to the Marx theme cello cover on UA-cam with timpani and snare ya jurp off
Very few videogame soundtracks are played live during gameplay. It's a terrible strain on the percussionists' wrists.
@@deadbobomb6445 theyre talking about the little 8 x 8 pixel drummer inside the tv silly 🙄
@@KairuHakubi Fun Fact: Jun Ishikawa, the main composer for Kirby, doesn't even try to make songs that can be played live at all.
The people who had to actually put the song together were probably handed the sheet music and just kind of stood there before asking "what the fuck"
.......do you think these are real instruments?
@@cube4547 Obviously not. It's a joke I made 3 years ago
cube got owned
@@Breadward_MacGluten Indeed they did
ah yes, because we all know that videogame music was done by a live orchestra
Honestly Marx is such a hyperactive, unpredictable and utterly insane villain that such a random and unpredictable theme suits him well.
Don't you just LOVE it when your music constantly changes time signatures on the fly?
Yes actually
if i made the sheet music for this song, i would notate the time signature as ???/4
It's all fun and games until your time signature becomes an irrational number
Ah, yes, 9/8, the superior time signature
Opened a playlist of Kirby music and started chilling on drums
Marx popped up and I actually started panicking

bingus boodle
your time signature is a noodle
Marx: the final boss of music composition
now someone needs to make marx's theme but in 48 tet
Hold up.
I put forth: Strong One (Masked Man)
@@Skeletons_Riding_OstrichesThat theme may have a very odd time signature but at least it's consistent throughout the song.
wow, really illustrative lol. with the dancing gifs and all. gotta say, these early kirby osts were really out there.
as a drummer,
*_A U G H_*
Metal Slug death sound 😂
I realize JUST. NOW. That it changes literally every 2 fucking beats
This is what 4 AM sounds like
I really like this interpretation of the time signatures tbh, it divvies up each part into clearer measures
And then there's that bit in Galacta Knight's theme. We don't talk about that thing's time signature tomfuckery
It's pretty damn fun to count these
wait i thought the time signatures were 3/4 4/4 5/4 & 7/4

The arranger: “Yes, after all, why not. Why shouldn’t I just go *ALL OUT* “
0:54 that... was 7/8, not 5/8...
ow my soul
Aw man, following this is gonna be impossible
OH MY GOD HOW DIDN'T I SEE THIS BEFORE
idk
I feel like squidward
I see Marx wants to dance... dance the Dance of Eternity.
I feel like technically you could play this in 6/8 if you tried hard enough to chart it
this is actually not in 6/8
@@wcbq that’s not what I said tho
@@zborman8598 no, bars often drag on too long to be 6/8 too often. It’s truly pain

you should see "The Art is on the Loose" from Backyardigans. The time signature is also very confusing in that song.
Is it possible for you to reupload this without the gifs? Thank you.
Clofftai yeah sure
i love you
I have to take my hat off, this is what the internet should be
you have to leave it on
@@eduardo_moya i still don’t know why you took your hat off
Amo este tema
Thanks! I can remix this theme now!
Oh no Lois this is more worse than the time I had a seizure while trying to dance to Marx's theme 0:50
Is there any possibility to put this song in 4/4 signature?
Oh that’s funny!
No
If you want to play it wrong yes
@@HushWasHere nah, it's just for fun!
Siivagunner did it
I find the rip for you
I think the 5/8 part is just 5/4, at least that makes more sense to me

That peter griffin one is so synced it’s not even funny
As someone who doesn’t know anything about music. I don’t understand 🩷
Wait, did this guy steal someone else’s video, put unfunny Peter griffin gifs on it, and get more views than the original?
Same person behind both
no this is the original, someone asked me to post one without gifs which is why there’s a second lmao
You couldn't have just looked at the upload dates before jumping at the accusation?
