Bwahhhaaaahaaaaaaa. This is what the Zelda song would sound like if the Violent Femmes did a song based off of it, with perhaps a little lyric inspiration from Andrew Dice Clay. It's great. I love it. It's also completely insane, and is bound to piss off anyone that has a deep respect for Zelda, videogame music, or good taste in general. (Just Kidding). Any song that mentions the singer's groin over 5 times is destined to become an instant classic, right? Well, can't say much more except that this might indeed replace my own hillbilly bubble bobble ReMix as the strangest, most questionable ReMix on the site. Shael, I thank you AND your groin for this . . . interesting . . . submission :) What's that smell??? . . .
Discussion: Latest 15 comments/reviews; view the After nearly 11 years, this song is still among my favorites. In
fact, I can't believe it's been 11 years. I'm glad Shael is still
around writing music and performing.

I'm ashamed to admit this, but this is one of my favorite early OCR
mixes. Chipmunk overdub at 0:24 == WIN

What can I say? So bad it's badass. The background singing at 0:24
in particular, cracks me up every time.
But, really, for a throwaway song it sounds quite fun and memorable. And it's a classic.

Heh, it's things like this that make me glad for OCR00001-OCR01000
:-P Quality, arrangement, and everything else goes by the wayside
and ends up being completely irrelevant when the song is just [i]so
damn funny.[/i] I don't know how to properly review something like
this, but rest assured the value of the song was not lost on me :-)

crazy track- it makes me glad that OCR can do some funny tracks in
addition to the SUPER SERIOUS PENDULUM INSPIRED PROG METAL.
I don't think we'll be hearing a track this creative again for a long time. :-(

To all the haters of this song:
I remember when I was a wee lad of about 13
I loved to play Zelda:LTTP on my SNES,
and for some reason or another...
...I don't know if it was the pink hair
or the constipated look on his face when
trying to lift ANYTHING (vases even)...
I always felt that link reminded me of
a walking, talking (or grunting) penis.
In that respect, I feel that Link should
indeed remind us all of the mighty groin.
Amen.

Clear but hilarious lyrics. djpretzel, he mentions the word groin 7
times. The chords are cool, intros funny. Forget about putting
thumbs up, i rate this groins up.

Love the trippy opening notes - it's like they're playing the theme
half-drunk and half-asleep. The bouncy, cheese-flavored strums
match the singing in exuberance and melodic zest. Lyrics are clear
on the first listen, although the backup at 0:22 sounds like "the
sound of my groooaaan" (but it's still fun like the background
noises). While smell, sight, and sound are covered, it seems
comparisons in taste and touch are better left to the imagination.
Repeating the last syllable at the end proudly drives the groin
home.

Basically, this track made it through the OcRemoval purges because it's lol?
It's also weird that this track is here because of classic nonsense but unmod is gone because of classic nonsense.
Again, not hating, but double-standards make me go :\
There is no double standard and it didn't survive lockdown because it's fun nonsense.
It's here because, for its time, it was a creative enough, interpretive enough arrangement compared to the original NES theme. Lockdown was about removing submissions violations, not applying a current standards bar to older ReMixes. It was never even at risk for Lockdown, and neither were a lot of older, less developed ReMixes from the old days. This isn't going anywhere.

Anyone who cant see the brilliance in this track and then feels its nessecary to talk trash needs to be made sterile.
Get a life detractors.
So very true, this song is jst a classic! and as such the young ones should pay respect to their elders!

I don't understand why this remix is still available for download on OCR, as it appears an outlier in terms of quality on the lower end of the spectrum, and unsuitable for a site that has been rapidly growing in prestige over the years. I hope that this, and other extremely distasteful remixes, will be removed shortly in favor of maintaining a more distinguished and credible atmosphere. Let such remixers post on the sites that support and cherish such assorted detritus, such as OverLooked ReMiX.
Nigga, plz. :lol:
Say it with me, "THIS IS HERE TO STAY." :tomatoface:

Well, they have in the past initiated lockdowns, going through all
the remixes to find what was low quality / midi sequences + drums
or the like, I seem to recall. Who knows.
But... I think that the old remixes serve as a nice marker to show how far this site has come in regards to sonic and arrangement quality.
