Blatant title ftw.
First and foremost I would like to thank Levus28 for recording this video for me. My old computer wouldn't have been able to handle it and I can't get my new one to record sound.

I would also like to thank Lihyahm for recording it as well, although I did not use his version.

My old and dedicated fans will recognise that I have already covered this song before long ago, in not only my early days but in the early days of Mario Paint Composer. The old one is pretty bad by today's standards, but I'm not ashamed because back then there weren't any standards.
This is my first epic project in a long time. Most of my recent videos were pretty simple, but this one I took full-throttle. In this video I make my first use of dickspeed throughout the whole song (yes, that is the official term among MPC users). I know some people admire my songs for being simple and would be put off by my using it, but I don't think it's too much of an issue as long as this is a remake of an old song that I did (and that it uses the original soundfont). My general consensus on the technique is that using it makes some things easier and gives a greater sense of freedom, but it takes a lot more time and concentration.
This song is very pecussive-heavy, which combined with the original soundfont can make for a possibly iffy-sounding percussion line, but I think I still made it work well. Using the freedoms of a high tempo I paid close attention to sustain and articulation and tried to incorporate dynamics (though I ended up only doing one significant contrast). I added grace notes and falls to try to match the OST, but I'm not sure they are completely accurate. I got a bit lazy with the instrumentation, especially near the end, but all in all I'm proud of this piece.
Let me know if you guys would like to see make more remakes of past songs that I've butchered.
Blah blah blah that's enough talking... or typing I guess. Or reading from your perspective. Gah just watch the video and leave a comment.
