Wake Up! It's Friday!

Season 8 Featured on: The Joke-Explainer 7000™'s Highest Quality Rips: Sunrise

Ripped by AdamCrossing

Tentative rip name: Last Freight-train Night

Huge apologies in advance for not posting this on a Friday or even a Saturday. The joke has been completely missed. I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me 😔.

Ah man, melody swap rips. They're always fun, right? Even in the channel's earliest days, we had stuff like SNES Mini Circulation, Earth, Wind & Bombs and Akumajō Lololo expertly showing off their inherent, obvious appeal - leveraging the instrumentation of one track to bring out a whole new vibe to another piece of music through rearrangement. But especially early on, and even nowadays, you'll notice that some games get favored above others for melody swaps. Super Mario 64, the Pokémon series, NES and Game Boy games, Plok! - granted, the reasons for a lot of these are very easily explained, but with games like Plok! in particular the recent emphasis has come from a select few rippers' absolute enthusiasm for the game and the unique soundscape it provides. Tons of Plok! rips are absolutely mindblowing as a result of this passion, and I intend to cover some of these in the future no doubt - but Wake Up! It's Friday!gave me many of those same thoughts upon first listen whilst being from a game I never would've thought would be one befit for melody swapping.

Again, to clarify: It's perfectly understandable why those aforementioned select games get so many melody swap rips made of them. Pokémon in particular has at once such a nostalgic, distinct yet versatile set of sounds that has allowed for a ton of creativity in how rips are done, with everything from the piano-driven peacefulness of Blue Mareep to the synth-heavy insanity of Plasmaseeker. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, meanwhile, is a game I only truly associate with two instruments - the pan flute and the violin - and that paired with its relative obscurity compared to other often-ripped games made me understand why all the chips wouldn't be placed on it in particular. Clearly, I was underestimating both the game and AdamCrossing's sheer range as a ripper here - the guy has genuinely impressed me with his arrangements of the New Super Mario Bros. series' music in particular, and yet I mistakenly assumed that to be the only trump card in his deck. Then again, as both those games and Spirit Tracks work with a smaller, more quirky set of playful instruments, I suppose Wake Up! It's Friday! only makes sense for him to have tackled; nevertheless, the rip wound up positively blowing me away in its arrangement, whilst still finding a way to stay absolutely faithful to the sound of the game its taking from. It's pan flutes and strings, yes, but they're leveraged to a far greater degree than I could've ever imagined.

If you presented me with a choice of song to use in a melody swap for Spirit Tracks' Overworld Adventure theme, I wouldn't have been able to give you an answer - yet had I given you one, it would've probably been incredibly far off the mark from what Wake Up! It's Friday! lands at. It's a full arrangement of Katy Perry's Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F), the absolute pop sensation released just two years after Spirit Tracks itself - yes, in other words, this is a PAN FLUTE arrangement of hit song Don't Mine At Night. Like, maybe I'm just easily impressed, maybe I'm just far too attached to Spirit Tracks' sound from playing on its stage in Smash Bros. all too much, but I have to commend Wake Up! It's Friday! just off of its concept alone. But, come on now, you've heard Thwâmpröck Desert - you KNOW that Season 8 has been delivering in far more than just concept alone.

See, the rip isn't just pleasant for its novelty, it feels as if it fully realizes itself in so many small little ways. There's of course the persisting banjo-like backing from the original keeping a playful, plucky adventuring tone, but it's in listening in close that you'll hear something truly special. You guessed it: That chuff-chuff-chuffing sound persisting through the entire track is the sound the player's train makes in Spirit Tracks when moving at the highest speed, whereupon it starts to sync up with the Overworld Adventure theme - in other words, the sound effects are a separate element from the actual music piece, yet Wake Up! It's Friday! goes the extra mile in including it just to make it all feel more...right. The cherry on top of even that is, of course, the sounds of crossing signals fading in and out of the song at various points throughout its runtime. This isn't referencing anything in particular from Last Friday Night, it's a completely original touch by AdamCrossing, but it adds SO much to the listening experience: Pair it with the other two things mentioned in this paragraph, and it starts to feel as if this track is truly taking place within Spirit Tracks itself, a sense of immersion far above what was necessary is conveyed through just these small touches alone. It stimulates the brain in ways I never thought I needed - and in terms of sheer listenability, it all just helps give the arrangement a real sense of tempo, befitting of the dance-able pop song it's an arrangement of.

Season 8 is a lot of things, and I'm still trying to ascertain what to truly make it of four months into its run. But if there's one constant I'm sure of, its that the channel's quality has basically never been higher - rips like Wake Up! It's Friday! are dropping left and right without being part of larger events, as if to just casually remind you of how good of a place the channel is in right now. And having those explosions of quality be attached to games which really haven't seen all too much action on SiIva compared to the big boys, to the channel's "hidden gem" games as it were? Be it back with Plok! in Season 6, or all the countless other examples over the years since, that always just fills me with such joy. Every game is someone's favorite, and every someone has the potential to be a SiIvaGunner contributor - it only takes one person's love for a game to get rips as carefully made as the works of AdamCrossing's, among which Wake Up! It's Friday! is easily one of the best.

Bottom: Liza Friday C2 (Last Friday Night (TGIF)), Iluquim (A QUEDA), Beautiful Liar (Remake) P1-P2

I already made T-Bam before this, but it didn’t feel right just having him without the rest of his crew, so I made the other three!

Bonus: I remade the first two coaches I ever made, Satellite and The Bride, to match my new standards/style for making these. I’m still keeping the old ones for nostalgia’s sake. Old ones on the left, new ones on the right!

✦ 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 !!! 𝐥𝐧𝟒 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 ✦

summary: hannah-sue ‘honey’ lewis is so much like her sideman brother with the exception of the fact that she didn’t watch formula one as much as she used to back when she had her crush on mercedes driver michael schumacher in 2010.

lando norris never considered anything a miracle, but when he found out that his youtuber crush was somewhere in his party on the verge of passing out, he couldn’t help but label this unfortunate event as a work of an angel.

content warning: social anxiety, mentions of alcohol + nicotine consumption, use of explicit language, humour (possibly more mature), formula one x sidemen content (HEAVY ON FORMULA ONE THAN YOUTUBE UK), chatfic + social media post. more content warning to be added.

(SET ON 2022)

masterlist

note: lemme cook for a little 😮‍💨 i watch a lot of sidemen and the fact that they know a lot of f1 (and willne’s literally friends with lando) just gave me hopes on a crossover

This was me last Friday night! #TGIF #drunk #illustration by #ilustrata

TGIF

Got mixed feelings today.

Happy that my boss said I could WFH again one day a week going forward. Been coming in all week since the ransomware and were more or less under control now until the MSP can come in and help us rebuild. Think he may have seen me getting burnt out too from wearing so many different hats.

Unhappy because last night I feel my wife got bait & switched by her maternity photographer. She got photos done last friday and they do look great. She paid 2k that day which surprised me when I heard the price but I thought that was for everything, and the photographer did provide all outfits/backdrops etc so I was like ok. But then last night we're going through the pics and then the photographer was "love bombing" is the term my wife used, I think she was just being very sleazy salesperson. Upsold my wife on how to get the pics. An additional 4k was what she asked for, 6k total. That shocked me, I left the room at that point for a bit. My wife is paying for all of it but still it makes me mad this is the state of the world, this is how much everything costs or at least what people are trying to get. All I could think of was Frank Sobotoka from the wire. "We used to make shit in this country, build shit. Now we just put our hand in the next guys pocket". For our baby's pictures I will be handling talking with the photographer re pricing. My wife is too susceptible to sales tactics, I've told her as much and she has begrudgingly agreed with me on that.

Last annoying today WFH is this corporate laptop I was given the monitor keeps turning off and I have to reset the whole thing unless a external monitor is connected and then it works fine? So I had to go buy one at Walmart this morning. It's huge and in total was 150 bucks. Going to see if I can get reimbursed for it by my job and say it will be my second monitor for all WFH going forward. It looks ridiculous huge 27 inches

Anyways. Still overall happy to be WFH and home with my cat Appa. And having the ability to clean up a bit during my work breaks.

Not me being so excited about ch 12 that I was refreshing like mad last night only to realize it was in fact Thursday and not Friday…GURL TGIF FOR REAL

lmao since my sleep schedule is basically opposite of normal right now, i checked the calendar no less than 12 times yesterday making sure it wasn't "posting day" and that i didn't screw myself over and accidentally deadline myself a day earlier than i meant to. i still gotta wrap up this one scene by 6 tonight, but it's bedtime for me rn. 😭

TBOSAS CRACK: ✨The 24 OG Mentors’ TGIF Costume Party✨

In my TBOSAS Crack!AU, the Mentors have always held their special ✨TGIF Costume Party✨ at Heavensbee Hall (every Friday) after class.

However, one can’t be invited if their costume is not within a certain budget that Coryo and Felix have set beforehand. So no expensive costumes allowed.

But this post is not about that. This post is about the costumes the Mentors had made and worn for this party in the last few weeks before meeting their assigned Tributes.

So here they are:

Hilarius Heavensbee’s DIY Bucket Costume. He also got a lot of points for stealing using the available materials from Dean Highbottom’s broom closet. #gotademerit #sorrynotsorry

Apollo Ring and Diana Ring with their iconic Lego Costumes. Sadly, people kept mistaken them as a romantic couple. #twingoals #notacouple #plsgetsomehelp

Coryo Snow’s Ghost King Costume. He even won the “Totally On Budget” Award for Best Costume. But honestly, he just stole his grandmother’s bedsheets and made a paper crown to finish the look. #nomoney #nobudget

Sejanus Plinth’s Ghost Lover Costume. He just wore this to match Coryo’s attire. #Snowjanus #couplegoals #marryme #SnowBae

Festus Creed’s Sexy Elmo Costume. He was even almost banned by Dean Highbottom for shamelessly dancing drunk on stage for money. #noregrets #nosurrender #bestfridaynightbaby

Persephone Price’s Cookie Monster Costume. She only wore this to match Festus Creed’s costume. #PerseFest #yumyum #couplegoals

Clemensia Dovecote’s Sexy No Face Costume. Honestly, she almost won the best costume award. However, the boots she wore that day were super expensive. So she was disqualified for not following the “on budget” rule. #sosad #gonnawin #nexttime

Palmyra Monty’s horrifying Rat Possum Costume. Lol. Nobody had the guts to go near her that night. #FreakyMonty #Diditagain

[sluttysnails334]

the main four music headcannons!!

I posted these on my twitter & tik tok so you’ve might’ve seen them there, but on tumblr thought I share what their favorite songs would be

Stan

Static - Steve Lacy (i feel like cries to this song in the shower or on the bus )

3005 by Childish Gambino ( reminds him of Kyle )

Lucid Dreams by Juice WRLD ( listens when he has a death wish )

Kyle

Buddy Holly - Weezer ( idk I feel this is his go to song when he gets aux )

The Less I Know The Better - Tame Impala ( I definitely think he tries to learn this on bass when he gets older )

American Idiot - Green Day ( I think he listens to this song when Cartman pisses him off )

Cartman

… Baby One More Time - Britney Spears ( he DEFINITELY has her school girl costume and re creates the music video in private)

Formation - Beyoncé ( he stans her, and probably has seen her live )

Last Friday Night ( TGIF ) - Katy Perry ( he wants to throw a party or go to a party like the one in the music video )

Kenny

Rhinestone Eyes - Gorillaz ( this song just screams Kenny to me )

Ode to Sleep - Twenty One Pilots ( I feel like he says he was a fan of them before they were popular/mainstream )

Rap God - Eminem ( he can rap the fast part! ask him!! he can do it!)
