I may not have grown up with Fabuland, but I can definitely see the appeal. It's definitely one of those more cozy sitting by the fire drinking hot cocoa kind of themes and I'm here for it.
Man I wish my music teacher was as passionate as you. Mine just half assed his way through the curriculum. I understand teaching is hard especially for high schoolers or middle schoolers if you are American but you could always tell when a teacher didn’t care. I had an English teacher that was constantly on our backs for mistakes, home work, etc but she was honestly my favourite teacher because you could tell she was genuinely concerned with what we were learning and if we actually took it in. I ended up reading Shakespeare plays in my own time because I wanted to show her that I was taking it seriously. Sorry for the rant but the way you explained stuff took me back to school.
I don't think I'd ever heard of a Fabuland show before this video, much less a charming song from it. I really love seeing videos like this that go in depth on songs, it always gives me some inspiration when it comes to my own musical escapades, and I'd definitely love to see more like this!
Tremendous insight into the Fabuland theme which has only served to heighten my appreciation of both Slugger's recreation and Batt's original composition. A few more vids like this, particularly discussing those INCREDIBLE Rock Raiders tunes, would be greatly appreciated I reckon 👍
Thank you for sharing this with us Slugger! I love seeing a relatively obscure piece of music like this get the appreciation it deserves, and your enthusiasm is always a pleasure to listen to! A while back I worked out the guitar version of an old kid's show called 'spider!', nice little piece. Another that's always stood out to me is the outro to Stingray, never tried to work that one out though
Slugger... I stumbled my way into your channel(s) because I saw Rock Raiders... I stayed for the man who just has such a nice way of displaying his passions. Your videos radiate a sort of simple giddy passion for lego, music and photography and it is wonderful to listen to you. Heck, I clicked on the original Fabulant video (like others before) with the idea, I don't care about this series and enjoyed most every moment of the video. So all for all, I hope you will keep slugging around😊 I am vaguely planning on one day ordering and building the Rock Raider game MOC's, and if that time comes I am adding a few little bricks to make the LEGO 31139 Cozy House slug in your honor! (oh and I really love your 'oresome' music piece, really hits the vibe)
Wait... you have legs?! You're no slug at all! The original seems surprisingly multi-layered for its simple purpose, mister Batt really poured a lot into this.
sorry im not much into music but i love the extended edition of rr sluger alot. as you say you never know what you get. its like the cherry on top.not nessesary but makes life beautiful. it shines a light on you as a person. i feel like we as an audience are getting a bit spoiled but as long as you are happy we can be happy to. thanks for sharing your passions
I would really enjoy seeing more videos where you talk about music. I remember hearing that you make all of the music for your main channel videos, and I would be very interested to hear you talk more about your creative process.
Dude I didn't understand nothing you said out yo mouth in this but I love your content, the passion that goes into what you make is palpable and it's always a joy to watch your videos
The Cliché is to say that Jang is LEGO Bob Ross, and while no comparison can ever really be 1:1,1:2 or even 1:28 when comparing different people's artistic expression, if I am going to indulge in that bit of internet reductionism I think Slugger feels like the Joe Pera of this silly corner of the internet. He's just got such an infectious way of teaching you all about whatever he's interested in a way that just makes you so invested in any subject he chooses. I was a big fan of this one, would love to see more videos on music or anything really
Slugger! I'm a big fan of your music composition and a long animal crossing fan. Like you said this Fabuland piece has a reminiscent sound to AC, it reminded me specifically of this track from New Leaf- Tortimer Island Tour Desk
This is super cool! I kinda forget you teach music for a living. Personally, while the deep LEGO lore videos are interesting, maybe you could do some more music content on this second channel. I write music myself and transcribe a bit (because my music taste is a bit niche and it's hard to track down the original songbooks from the 80s). I would 100% watch more music theory vids and behind-the-scenes of how you write the music for your videos!
WOMBLES! Commenting as an English person here, Mike Batt is well worth a bit of a lookup. He's been involved in a wide range of projects, but looking at them, nothing seems to have reached the Americas. His work for The Wombles may be interesting to a music teacher though, as it's intentionally genre spanning. He launched Katie Melua, and arguably Vanessa Mae, and did the music for another children's cartoon series which far outclassed the actual programme!
@@LunaMoonview2003Rhythm was a personal struggle for me that I didn’t really tackle until I was studying music in university. 😅 I might make it look easy in a video like this, but it was a lot of hard work to get here!
@SlugginAround make sense, you also have years of experience. My only experience is music class from my public school and playing Beat The Beat: Rhythm Paradise on my wii (or Rhythm Heaven) and i was terrible at both (haha)
I find it fascinating that Fabuland had a TV series and perhaps surprising that it was claymation rather than simply using the established and available LEGO toys to make it especially as Fabuland figures do have that slightly more articulate design over a standard mini figure. Anyway this was great to see how you broke the music down and remade it in an Animal Crossing style, I know your primary work is musician before even LEGO Guy so seeing your creative process in your music is very appreciated.
3:48, notes like that are so important, gotta put some stink on it! I probably would’ve paid more attention in music theory class if you were my teacher. (Both of mine in high school were pretty terrible.)
Those would be a little tougher to do as I've long since forgotten how to play those tunes. 😅 I could try it one day - it might be fun to retrace my own steps and try to figure out how I did things back then.
When the video got to the part showing the original song on the video, my left earphone had slipped off, so I assumed my audio quality was sounding bad because I just had the one headphone on, and then immediately saw the editor note!
I’d assume the channel issue is due to an issue when the tape it was on was captured. Usually when that happens to me I split the channels in audacity and make it a mono track ;)
Check out my Bandcamp page if you want to hear how my final rendition ended up!

I appreciate the small detail of petting the cat! Always an important part of playing any instrument!
I remember in an interview you said you could give up Lego but you'd never give up music. It's always cool to see you talk about your passions.
Thank you! Yeah, I would hate to have to be forced to choose, but that would be my choice. 👍
this man puts so much effort into things almost nobody notices
👏
Thank you! ❤️
KNEE REVEAL???? How scandalous, Slugger.
Hey, I at least put on pants for this! 😆
I may not have grown up with Fabuland, but I can definitely see the appeal. It's definitely one of those more cozy sitting by the fire drinking hot cocoa kind of themes and I'm here for it.
Careful, you might get copyright struck by Nintendo!
Hahaha! 😉❤️
I love this behind the scenes stuff. This feels like a lesson in music too, which is very cool.

Sorry for the rant but the way you explained stuff took me back to school.
You really hit the nail on the head - passion is so important in the teaching world!
This should become a series! Talking about your compositions for the main channel would be a great watch.
No clue what most of this means but I find your abilities with the piano and dissection of music very impressive!
this is actually insane. if you weren't into lego you'd be taking over the world
My belief is the Canadian government realised this and intentionally pulled the strings to get him out of LEGO his dark age
If i didn't feel bad about my musical abilities before, I certainly do now! That was impressive!
Aww, thank you! It’s not my intention to show off though - just to help guide folks through my process! 😊
Music theory with Slugger. Something i didn’t know I needed ❤
7:49 creature of the void reappears
slugger you knocked it out of the park on this one, i for one would love more content like this, especially on how you compose original pieces
Thank you! 😊
I don't think I'd ever heard of a Fabuland show before this video, much less a charming song from it.
I really love seeing videos like this that go in depth on songs, it always gives me some inspiration when it comes to my own musical escapades, and I'd definitely love to see more like this!
The show is all on UA-cam, it's pretty cute
keep forgetting one of my favorite lego youtubers is also a music nerd
this is why he’s the favorite

I’m humbled that my passions are coming through these videos and being appreciated by those who watch them! 😊
Wait... you have legs?! You're no slug at all!
The original seems surprisingly multi-layered for its simple purpose, mister Batt really poured a lot into this.
Indeed! It was fun to deconstruct his work all these years later! 😊
my right ear really loved that fabuland music segment
sorry im not much into music but i love the extended edition of rr sluger alot. as you say you never know what you get. its like the cherry on top.not nessesary but makes life beautiful. it shines a light on you as a person. i feel like we as an audience are getting a bit spoiled but as long as you are happy we can be happy to. thanks for sharing your passions
I love music, so this was a fun video to see! Definitely would love to see more videos about how you compose songs.
of ALL the Sluggin' Around videos I've watched, this one I understand the least. I'm just glad to be here :)
I don’t know a thing about music, but it’s always nice to see people’s creative process!
Sometimes I forget your a music teacher! I'd love to see more music based content from you, as a composer myself I find this stuff really interesting!
I would really enjoy seeing more videos where you talk about music. I remember hearing that you make all of the music for your main channel videos, and I would be very interested to hear you talk more about your creative process.
This video is extremely inspired, I hope you continue with videos on similar topics :).
Slug you become more impressive to me every day, keep on sluggin'🙏
What a lovely video, and a good ear!
I hope we see more like this in the future!
Dude I didn't understand nothing you said out yo mouth in this but I love your content, the passion that goes into what you make is palpable and it's always a joy to watch your videos
I'm shocked I understood plenty of those words!!
It's so nice seeing the keyboard, I'd love more music talk!
This was cool! It would be interesting to see more videos about music production, maybe like how you compose your own stuff 🎶
I'd love to see more videos like this!!!

This was great I would love more videos about music
love it! music is a very important part of making good content.
Man, kinda wish I had RR slugger as a music teacher now 😅 dissecting music seems like a lot of fun 👍
Very cool to see teacher slugger! Although i cant stop imagining a class full of students bored out of their minds listening to lego music history
Slugger! I'm a big fan of your music composition and a long animal crossing fan. Like you said this Fabuland piece has a reminiscent sound to AC, it reminded me specifically of this track from New Leaf- Tortimer Island Tour Desk
I would really appreciate to hear some of your compositions
As a person who does music I love these types of videos from you! So good
Slugger has HANDS now?????

I like the K.K. instead of the R.R. in the title, referencing the K.K. Slider character from the new continuation of the Fabuland series.

That was crazy!
thanks for this Slugger!! this was awesome insight!
I have no idea what’s going on 😅but that song sure makes me want to watch Edward and friends! It’s a great piece of music
Slugger.. as a self-taught musician, i am in DESPERATE need of a music theory course by you 😩😭 i would pay
This video makes me wish more than I already do that I had any type of musical talent.
Sadly I don't even have a sense of rhythm. Oh well...
Studying music theory (specifically chord theory) can still open a lot of doors to understanding how music works - no rhythm knowledge needed! 😊
@@SlugginAround that definitely sounds less intimidating knowing that I don't need a good rhythm sense. Might do some research in chord theory than.

That was a great video!
Yes! I loved the video on the main channel where you showed us your recording prosses in software. More music break downs!
Maybe you can also double as an internet music teacher!
A pleasant suprise to find a technically sound disection of a musical composition from you.
I didn’t expect this for sluggin’ around I can tell you that!
Great video! I’d be down for more videos about your music! 👍🏻

More music Slugger! Yay!
You’re really good at this, you should teach music!
😉
SLUG POST DETECTED
3:48, notes like that are so important, gotta put some stink on it! I probably would’ve paid more attention in music theory class if you were my teacher. (Both of mine in high school were pretty terrible.)
I NEED THESE FOR ORIENT EXPEDITION GAHHH ❤❤
Those would be a little tougher to do as I've long since forgotten how to play those tunes. 😅
I could try it one day - it might be fun to retrace my own steps and try to figure out how I did things back then.

I’d assume the channel issue is due to an issue when the tape it was on was captured. Usually when that happens to me I split the channels in audacity and make it a mono track ;)
That would make sense! Curious why the left channel wasn't the one that was preserved, but oh well!
@@SlugginAround So usually some older VCR's will have RCA output, but will only have a singular mono left output, so I'm assuming that might be it?
Leg reveal! Stool reveal!
Cool
Did you upload this to youtube or is it just bandcamp thx
Just on Bandcamp right now. 👍
epic
I love music slugger!
super adorable! thank you so much :D
also tell your cat i said hi lol
Wait, there was a show?!

Cat!!!
Great, now make the song in a minor key 😁🔥
