Our first Persona ReMix is a short little humor piece from Mr. Dale North, who himself takes on the persona of the pharmacy owner in a hilarious vocal overtop the relevant theme. If you're like me, and I know I am, you'll find this rare interpreted glimpse inside the mind of a merchant non-player character very addictive . . . aww, who am I kidding, it's fun, funny, and retains musicality with a peppy beat anchored by low brass-ish bass, some ambient street noise on the intro and outro, and of course nobody messes with da vocal here. Well "sung" in the accent of a crabby old store-owner, with beautifully lecherous and generally repulsive lyrics that are totally believable; I suppose we all knew that in his heart Mr. North wants to be a dirty old man ^^, and here he gets to realize this most noble of vicarious desires. Wacky, zany and infectiously smile-inducing.

laughter.
I always like comedic songs (well, within reason, I mean they have to at least be [i]good[/i] to begin with). This one definitely does what it sets out to do... it's not serious or great quality, nor is it really trying to be--it's just a cranky and sketchy drug store owner. And hilarious.
Oh, and... since this is pretty old, the music video links no longer work. No one would still happen to have that floating around, would they? KF

Just recently downloaded all of mr. North's stuff, and I have to
say that this is great! So obscenely crazy, and yet so addicting.
Love all your stuff Dale, and look forward to more of it. Much
more.

My actions exactlty :D. It seems the madness of Dale knows no ends...

LMAO! You know, the mix is kinda' funny. But what's funnier is that
I turn to here and it's DALE yet AGAIN!! I swear!! The problem with
the torrents is that they don't credit the author (cept maybe in
the id3 tag that foobar doesn't show). Are all the best mixes by
Mr. North?!!!

I dislike this remix, although I'm apparently one of few who do. I
usually hate joke things in the first place, but getting onto
ormgas to find this playing is really irritating, when compared to
such great songs lying around the website.
It's annoying and unfunny, and belongs on a site dedicated to humor remixes rather than a site like this.

This is a great peice. It's funny, the music's catchy, and overall
a very good arragnement. The lyrics are smooth, and transition with
the song's original melody, not to mention they are flat out
hilarious. The samples are really good, and don't sound
synthesized. Overall, very well done.
9.5/10

I was falling asleep in the library, trying to find a way to stay
awake, when I found the Persona LiveJournal community link to
overclocked and this ReMix.
It definitely kept me awake.
People who don't know the games might not get as much of a kick out of it as the ones that do, but it's *damned* funny anyway.
Not only was it amusing and kept me from snoring facedown on my laptop, the mix of the background music was chipper and fun, too.
This was great. It made my day.
I have to go play Persona II, now. Every time I walk into the Pharmacy, I'm going to hear this song. -_-
And I'm singing along too, darn it. *twitch*

I hadn't used Flash in over a year, and that was 4. I was using 5
which is slightly different. I decided to relearn Flash and used
Dale North's Chu Chu remix because it was quick and quirky. Dale
North saw it and said "You HAVE to animate this one!" I thought
"Why not" since I was still re-learning Flash.
Long story short: my first two animations in over a year were Dale North remixes and I think he is talented.
I may do a "special edition" Pharmacy video with a higher framerate, better graphics, and sing-along option, but that is for another day!
DJPretz: You don't EVER have to put up my Zelda remix. I'm nowhere NEAR as talented as all these artists here. I'll stick to cartoons...

Thanks! :D
OOPS!!

Okay, um... I guess I should play the Devil's advocate. Let me
analyze Mustin's original post a bit.
Bad: Calling DJP slow prolly isn't great. Also, he got a fact wrong - but he admitted his mistake later, so it can be forgiven.
Good: If he thinks it took too long to get posted, he must like the song. If it really had taken 6 months, I'd respect that he feels that's too much time - and since that's how long he thought it took, you can respect his feelings there.
More praise.
Bad: He doesn't think most people know how to mix their music, especially when it comes to vocals. This likely offends people who have mixed music with vocals before, but you know, I [b]have[/b] heard several sub-par lyrical pieces on this site. Some great ones too, but...
Good: He doesn't name names, and neither will I -- after all, I wouldn't be able to do ANY mixing whatsoever, good or bad. And when he says he thinks this is one of the best-produced songs on the site, and that it has excellent sound quality and understandable vocals, aren't those compliments to Dale North? Mustin thinks that Dale spent a lot of time working on this, and that he did a fantastic job on it. I guess that offends people who think they've made better songs in the past, but... hey, it's just Mustin's opinion, right? You can disagree... but don't call him names over matters of opinion! That just makes you look dumb.
More compliments.
I really don't understand why so many people decided Mustin was lashing out at them. And what's with these "sell-out" comments? Has Mustin somehow managed to make money in the video game or music industry? If so, congratulate him! Don't make nasty, bitter comments about how he's "sold out" until he's got 10 million dollars and there's Mustin brand window cleaner.
I'm sorry if I'm offending anybody. Really. And noone will likely read this since the mix has been up for a while. But if you're steaming, and hopping mad, and sweat is pouring down your face, then please, just take a moment to breathe, and blink, and say to yourself, CALM THE FUCK DOWN, ASSHOLE!
*Bows and steps off soapbox amid a hail of rotten tomatoes.*

As for the song, it's one of the best produced songs on this website. By far. Where as most people don't know how to mix their music (epecially when it comes to vocals), this is a nice example of excellent sound quality and understandable vocals.
