Give Me Up X Never Gonna Give You Up

Michael Fortunati and Rick Astley

This was made with rave.dj and is one of the better iterations I could get out of it. I'd like to think that Rick and Michael were friends who discovered they were gay and had feelings for each other. Michael wasn't ready for this but Rick wants things to be more with Michael.

Halfway it gets really good with Michael saying "Give me up" quickly followed by Rick's "Never gonna give never gonna give!"

May you recommend the people 5 songs you've been enjoying lately? :3

i DO like shoving my music preferences in people's faces!! Thanks for asking!!!

OS by Rinse and Repeat has been a near-daily listen to me since the day it came out (on Josuke's birthday!!). It coincided with me throwing out Josuke and making up Gent, and helped me figure out which of my HC parts of him (the moral OCD and bit of a god complex) to really play up with Gent. Since it's a really good Spamton animation that introduced me to Rinse & Repeat, I wonder why nobody's done animatics with more of their songs.

Grindhouse by Machine Girl is the one I'm really hooked on right now. I got into Machine Girl 2 years ago because it was really cathartic to listen to when I was having my whole thing about Billy Kametz passing away and Josuke getting character assassinated. Now I crave this band like I crave spicy food!!

Also 'catharsis' is the second word in Locals (Girls like us) by underscores. I'm still new to this group, but this song scratches a really specific itch I've had in my head since I was a kid listening to Kesha. I've been on a big 2000s nostalgia kick, looking at stuff like indie sleaze and Frutiger Aero a lot. Class of '09 was very fun to experience blind a few months ago (and honestly Flipside wasn't that bad you guys you just gotta ignore the idiot creator and take it as a silly spin-off)

A very different flavor of 2000s nostalgia is in this band I've only gotten into recently for its very strong Gent flavors, Malice Mizer. Right now the song of theirs on rotation is Ma Chérie ~ Itoshii kimi e ~. It's cheesy and melodramatic and pink but in a fancy princey way, and I'm on the verge of saying it inspires Gent about the same way Prince inspired my idea of Josuke. Getting a clear idea of what kind of story to really put that guy into will FIX ME, I SWEAR!!!!!

This one I saved for last because I wanna pack in a bunch of silly OC explanation. There's four versions of this one song from the '80s that I think are an uncanny little representation of my whole story with the Josuwife OC who remains near and dear to my heart to this day, Beni. I'm gonna put that under a read-more because it gets kind of Long.

To sum it up, she was friends with Josuke for like one semester in middle school and was his Cool Exotic Friend (she grew up in New Orleans before this because her family was CAST OUT BY THE KAKYOIN FAMILY it's a very funny story she was the Kakyoin cousin years before Ryoko was a thing). This was all in like 1995 so the '90s cute Japanese pop rendition of this song fits it perfectly. Give Me Up by BaBe!

Then she moved away to go to a Catholic school FULL of Stand-wielding nuns and met this girl who was gonna be a pro wrestler (Oku's her biggest fan btw) and Beni became her VALET!! And DURING that she began a symbiotic possession thing with a ghost in a pilot helmet and that ghost is this dweeby 80s-loving Disco Dan type whose name is actually Daniel, and THEN i found the original version of Give Me Up was this really fun Italodisco song! So Give Me Up by Michael Fortunati would be something he bonds with Beni about.

So then we fast forward to 2003 or so, after the whole thing where Joseph met Pilot and was like "oh my god that's the guy who tried to kill my and lisa lisa's favorite student why are you a ghost and camping out in my son's girlfriend's brain" and Beni has a whole Mopey Arc about it before manifesting her awesome fun Stand and getting married to Josuke and starting their little spa together. There's a really distinct 2000s J-pop sound I associate with the spa era (which is still going today they're in their happily ever after and I left them like that don't disturb them please), your Capsules, your Seikou Nagaokas, your Megs. Turns out the second-most modern version of Give Me Up is that exact flavor and the SINGER IS NAMED BENI???????????????????????? So that's really cool. Give Me Up by Beni Arashiro!!

And FINALLY this is the song that actually introduced me to this whole Give Me Up Cinematic Universe, the Night Tempo Showa Groove remix of BaBe's Give Me Up. It's a flavor of future funk that I was listening to nonstop in like, 2017-2020 that I'm sick to death of now... but that means it's a little dated now in the way that really suits the Josubeni kid, Jove!! She's not very developed, but I'd say her closest comparison is Lilo from Lilo & Stitch. Give Me Up's Night Tempo Showa Groove remix makes it feel like Beni and Josuke's lives came full-circle in a very cute way and I wish them the best now that I'm working with their Jojo-divorced versions.

Origini di Bayonetta: dietro le quinte della registrazione della canzone a tema

[…] Testi e voci

Il testo della canzone ci racconta i pensieri di Cereza. Sono sicuro che molte persone si chiedono in che lingua sono le voci, ma non è una lingua fittizia.

Bayonetta ha trascorso il suo tempo da bambina e apprendista strega in Europa, quindi è stato fissato fin dall'inizio che i testi sarebbero stati in una lingua celtica, che sono una famiglia molto antica di lingue dell'Europa occidentale.

Siamo stati abbastanza fortunati che il compositore irlandese Michael McGlynn fosse in grado di scrivere testi in lingua irlandese (noto anche come gaelico irlandese). Abbiamo pensato che si sarebbe adattata perfettamente all'essere parte della storia delle origini di Bayonetta, quindi abbiamo deciso di andare con i testi irlandesi. Michael è ben noto per aver scritto testi che suonerebbero belli anche ai Celti d'epoca. Grazie a questi meravigliosi testi scritti in un linguaggio che si adatta così bene alla storia, la traccia trasudava il mondo di Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon.

Inoltre! Non possiamo assolutamente dimenticare la giovane donna che ha fornito la voce, riunendo il tutto!

Il suo nome è Lauren McGlynn ed è in realtà la figlia di Michael!

Quando cercavamo un cantante, volevamo una ragazza che avesse circa la stessa età di Cereza. Non ci sono davvero molte ragazze che si adattano ai criteri di avere 9-15 anni con voci forti che potrebbero anche cantare in una lingua celtica. Tuttavia, non solo Lauren ha spuntato tutte quelle caselle, ma ha anche una voce chiara che ha evocato perfettamente l'adolescenza di Cereza, non troppo infantile ma non ancora adulta. Abbiamo finito per sceglierla per il lavoro senza pensarci due volte.

Il giorno della registrazione, è entrata in studio con un'adiscente adorabile nel suo vestito leggermente da strega che aveva scelto in particolare. Chi avrebbe mai pensato che questo 13-year-old avrebbe poi poi per abbellirci con una voce così incredibile. Nonostante la sessione di registrazione fosse così lunga, Lauren ha lavorato duramente fino alla fine. È grazie a lei che possiamo provare le vere emozioni dei testi, e si è rivelato molto simile a Cereza.

Michael Fortunati - Give Me Up (live Japan) HD

 i remember when i first saw this performance on the back end of another performance i had seen dozens of times i didnt really know what was going on here (i still dont) so i assumed the two asian girls who join him on stage were background dancers on this variety show(?) and i was shocked that the shorter background dancer was absolutely mogging the performer, not only that shes mocking him, if you pay attention when shes beating on her hip shes playfully mocking micheal fortunati like “this is all you got?” and the other member of babe notices and laughs, i assume this guy wrote the song but they took it and mogged him with his own material which happens frequently with jews (see trent reznor and johnny cash). regardless its playful and not mean spirited, theres something insane about this whole performance, its like a cartoon come to life.

MICHAEL FORTUNATI - Give Me Up (HQ)

ユーロビートが世界のミュージックシーンを席巻していた８０年代に、イタリアのマイケル・フォーチュナティがリリースしてバカ売れしたデビューシングル「Give Me Up」。

別名「ユーロビートの帝王」。

この曲、日本でも「Babe」をはじめ多くのアーティストがカバーしています。

コード進行はユーロビートの王道である「カノン進行」、主要コードはわずか４��だけで楽曲は構成されています。

（まじですか！音楽的錬金術師じゃないですか！）

ええ。

シンプルだけど、音符の配置が絶妙なので、単純さを感じさせないメロディーとアレンジのセンスに脱帽です。

（マハラジャに行きたくなってきましたね！）
