Unknown Tale
AiW YTP Collab Announcement
updated
The song's lyrics were made back in the start of a pretty bad political climate, with one of those issues being the allegations of Fake News starting to pop up everywhere. The song was recorded in 2024 with better audio bites being utilized compared to the Mixcraft version of the song, now being released in 2025 to let you all know that despite the bad decisions made to silence the many, it's still not too late to change and get back to the Truth of the Matter at hand.
This is the last politically inclined song recorded for the album. The song is still private on Bandcamp, so you won't be able to get a High Quality download of the song for the moment. Instead, for the time being, you can use this song for your own videos, so long as you link back to this video and give credit where it's due.
Song Inspirations: Nirvana, ABBA, John Mellencamp, Jethro Tull

I was heavily inspired by Strawhorse, Soundgarden, and Metallica at the time.

First, the main joke is the video itself. The entire song you hear in this video is in a Soundfont developed by LeapFrog called LeapFont, a powerful MIDI SF2 File capable of playing 6 MIDI tracks (or 5 MIDI tracks and 1 audio file). This Soundfont was commonly used on LeapPad and Leapster equipment from the 1990s to Late 2000s. Plenty of songs were made for it and still have yet to be ripped onto YouTube. So, since the original instrumental used 6 instrument tracks playing at any given time, I figured this would be a good demonstration of people "Getting Leap Font'd," with the realization settling in at the 42 second mark after the background changes from Sonic to Leap and his LeapPad. I added Alys laughing for good measure.
Finally, the second joke is the Google Slides link on the day I trolled people. Because YouTube is able to show the YouTube video or channel being linked to keep scammers from linking phishing videos, I linked to a slides presentation to keep the "Never Gonna Give You Up" link ambiguous. This was to prank impatient users who wanted to hear the final song when the lyrics still haven't been completed. Don't worry, the song is almost complete, I just need to write the 2nd Verse and then record both the backup vocals and main vocals.
I lost 1 subscriber this April Fools Day, but I felt it was worth it in the end, plus it doesn't help that the song itself is perfect for Headphone Users. Seriously, with LeapFont it's a JAM! Strongly recommend for this video. Anyways, until the *real* song releases, or my next video comes out, this is Unknown Tale saying "Goodbye For Now!"
"You Can't Rush Art." ~Pixar, Toy Story 2
So, I was with a bunch of my friends in an RP group and we were searching up various ideas for video games that will probably not exist until way later. Of course I have the "Disney's Final Frontier" video game idea still floating about on the internet, but then I had an idea (thanks to revisiting a couple of games) and playing a bit of Sonic Frontiers and said, "What if we took the Storybook Series and pushed it a bit further than just one single topic?"
Granted we have games based on both 1001 Arabian Nights and the Knights of Camelot, though we never had a proper one on the tales of classic fairy tales and fictional early isekai novels. Thus began the idea of "Sonic and the Secret Labyrinth" among some of my Discord Friends. Time Warp, the song you're listening to, is based on the Sonic Formula and the fact your time to save stories slowly becoming corrupted are running low.
The lyrics go from the 1st Verse to the Chorus Line, but I think it paints a good image in your head on how dangerous of a mission this might be not just for Sonic and his friends, but for the alternate versions of them as well. As of this video's release, I'm still working on the 2nd and 3rd Verses, but the full song will be available as a YouTube Exclusive for some time as a "For the Fans" song.
A full set of characters featured in the final video will appear in its description. Thus, I'll keep it a mystery as to which stories would be featured.

This song was originally released on September 22nd, 2022, but this third take appeared on Bandcamp on June 26th, 2023. It took a while to upload the new version because the new lyric video and the Intro Animatic for Alphaheart were taking too long to complete, or I have just dropped interest in making it for now.

Alys accidentally ended up in the labyrinth one day, and found himself in a jail cell, trapped in it all through the morning. Upon finally making contact with the outside world, Alys meets Gnorris who is in the process of betraying I.M. Meen. As to what reasons, Alys is not quite sure, but armed only with a pen, he goes searching for the other trapped kids under order of Gnorris, as I.M. Meen stalks him at every turn, sending his guardians to do his dirt work.
==Editing Credits==
Played on DOSBoX
Recorded on OBS
Edited in MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 15 Plus (It crashed trying to render this at 1080p)
==Legal Stuff==
This is a playthrough of an abandoned video game, commonly used for YTPs and Spadinner jokes. I.M. Meen was published by Simon and Schuster Interactive in 1995 on the MSDoS. A Sega CD version was considered, but never saw the light of day, with the only proof of it existing is a ROM playing back the Opening Cutscene to the game.
Other Music Used for Jokes
Don't Stop The Music (Initial D) - Lou Grant
Slippin' Away - Dokken
Numberless Recollection (Enthusia) - Konami
Le 1936 & Schick 2000 - Junkie XL
Ready-Set-Go! - Magic in the Other (End Card Theme)
This episode, Gnorris betrays Meen and lets Alys escape into the Tower. Alys descends the place in the hopes of arriving on solid ground.

Next Episode: The Dungeon (Featuring Brinda The Dash)
This song was written during my last year of college in 2022 and is finally being uploaded here to YouTube for everyone to listen. This song pays homage to Kingdom Hearts and other fantastic RPGs which sometimes also utilize this very philosophy. In fact, when coming up with a title for this song, I was trying to look up German words that fit the description of the song, as it all came composed through my mind as I worked on it in FL Studio 20, then the name Vorstellung came to mind. Wondering if it was an actual name for something, I looked it up through Google, and lo, the definition fit perfectly for the song.
The song is 10 minutes long due to the fact it's set up in a Three Phase Boss Battle structure.

Composed in FL Studio 20 by Unknown Tale. Do not use without permission.
As always with my YTPs, any joke theft is unintentional.
==Other Legal Notes==
The Walrus and the Carpenter is composed by Sammy Fain and performed by the legendary J Pat O'Malley. I was surprised to find out he did EVERY voice in this 5 minute scene, almost like how Mel Blanc did every Looney Tunes voice. Could it be a "We can do that too" moment for their Silly Symphony moment of the film, or just one giant middle finger? Either way, this video will not make a penny for me like the first part, any advertisements placed on it are not of my selection.
==Main Description==
Here it is, the sequel to "Alice Smokes Tea and Drinks Weed." Where we last left Alice, she successfully escaped the Queen of Hearts' wrath and goes back to the forest to resurrect the Tweedle Twins who accidentally caused Nuclear Fusion in the last YTP and died. Now that they're back, something is wrong. They can't remember their poem, but they decided to go through with it anyways!
A remake of an old YTP I shared with my Discord buddies before my YouTube days, specifically designed for this YTP Collab.

By far my longest YTP of one of my favorite movies, and it's only Part 1 of my Collab Entry! The program practically crashed several times when I worked on this particular entry, though I decided due to the transformative nature of this entire thing, I took a gamble and kept it up as a non-profit piece. This video was 9 segments put together into 1 video, this was mainly to keep the program from crashing when working on too many parts at once. This video also taught me how to do Keyframe sizing so I don't have to rely on the Zoom Feature further. This also marks the first appearance canonically on this channel of the new mascot, the hyena fox "Alys." (Yeah, I named him after this film, and while this rendition of the name is feminine, this was entirely intentional.) Keep an eye out for him in my later videos, he'll be very important.
This is also my first YTP to feature original music, with several second samples for you to enjoy. Some of these songs are featured in my Alphaheart Video Game, which is still in production, and future progress shots to be featured on this channel.

==Public Description Update==
I decided out of my own free will to upload this as a Standalone after the Care Bears YTP Collab completed, in order to showcase the credits containing the entire list of sources (required by Fandom Trash in order for the entry to count). This is all in sequential order, that way you know what reference was done when.
And yes, I did more of my voice in this entry. :P
==Notice==
This video is not meant to make a single dime while it's on the internet. This was made for fun and for experimental purposes. Any ads that are shown on this video for whatever reason are not controlled by me. Support the official release of all sources and music used in this parody.
Unlike most of my YTPs which have a long series of gags put together, this one is actually very Story Driven. In this story, Tod is searching for a way to restore the original Wizard of Oz Film Reel to include ALL the lost media and the original story after the Wicked Witch put a vile curse on it. After seeing Dorothy and her friends cornered, Vixey tells Tod to save them and in the process, he kills the witch himself. While this doesn't make sense without the Prologue video, this is the story of this entire entry minus all the misc jokes thrown here and there.
Tod's voice was done by me, however Woody's voice was AI-generated through uberduck.ai so go ahead and use it if you want a bit of extra help with sentence mixing (results may vary).
This is actually 2 YTPs merged into one 3-minute video. For the more unscuffed versions of these videos, check the drive links below.

==How It Was Made==
Drunken Kaiju was a semester project for my University, but we ended up liking it so much we decided to advertise the game and let other people give it a try. I focused on the Audio Supervising, making sure the game sounds correct with the tones we were going for. The game was created from the ground up in Unity, from the code to its physics. The Scoring System and final tally was coded in a way that the more chain reactions and special buildings you destroy, the higher your Final Score will be (though sometimes the game can become sentient and do a bit of trolling).

==Legal Things==
This entire collab video falls under fair use, as it is transformative in nature. This is usually not the normal video I upload, mainly due to this being a game and writing oriented channel, but don't expect a single dime to be made off this video for ANY sources, whether audio (i.e. music from Simple Plan and MKL) or video (i.e. SpongeBob SquarePants and The Book of Pooh), used by me and others. This was all made for fun by me and my fellow collaborators throughout 2021 as an experimental video. (If anything does NOT fall under unmonetizable fair use, please notify me so I can create a Trimmed Down/Remade version.)
The main source, Dr. Suess on the Loose, is owned by Cat in the Hat Productions, DePatie-Freleng Enterprises, CBS Productions, Friz Freleng, David H. DePatie, and of course, Ted "Theodore" Geisel. Please support the official release.
Also, this video contains adult language and jokes. If you're under the age of 13, STOP watching this video immediately.
UPDATE, May 13th, 2024: This video is currently blocked in Belarus, Russia due to the use of Simple Plan's Untitled in KingOfHeroes187's entry. I'll see if I can find fitting music to replace the song used at some point if you're one of my subscribers over in that territory, though Dr. Seuss's Estate and CBS have decided to not take action on the video at the moment (Thanks for the Fair Use you guys ^.^).
Also, I am aware of the drama surrounding YTTH, one of the entrants of this YTP Collab. For archival purposes, his entry segments are being kept in, and I will not speak matters on the drama. There's a place for everything, my channel and its videos are not one of them.

Song Backstory:
Atlanta, released in 2000 by Strawhorse, is the Opening Theme to the video game ATV Offroad Fury, released in 2001 on the PlayStation 2. This, and Fishbowl, were both featured on the soundtrack for the game alongside bands like Anthrax, Bender, and Primus, but this song in particular was one of the more remembered by fans. The song would later release on the Brillianteen (Explicit) album in 2014, which catalogued all of Strawhorse's Original Songs.
This cover was originally worked on in 2020 as a 20th anniversary for ATV Offroad Fury, but due to shabby vocal works was redone for 2021 as a Clone Hero chart. Everything featured in this chart is the MOST accurate version of the chart itself.
Chart features:
-Open Notes (Both Guitar and Bass)
-Pro Drums Chart with Accent Notes
-Guitar Solos (2 Solos, both after Chorus 2 and Chorus 3 respectively)
-Bass Solo (During the Bridge, the sound was created using the Pony Slide Virtual Instrument in Mixcraft)
-Vocals Overdrive segments (if converted to Rock Band)
-A Big Rock Ending was also charted at the end of the song, but takes a cue from Phase Shift and has a Drums Chart filled in where the Big Rock Ending should exist.
Chart Link:

NOTE: I do not own the rights to this song, this cover was made as a NON-PROFIT fan-based production. Any distribution of the track with the intent of making money off of it is prohibited by law.
