Hey guys!
Welcome back to Top 10 Gaming, I’m Ron McKenzie-Lefurgey.
We’ve talked Sonic Songs a few times now, but today we’ll focus on our favorite themes
for the various sonic characters.
Because there are some damn good ones.
Because Sonic has some of the best music ever.
And since you guys clearly loved my awesome dance moves in Sonic Songs Part 2, you lucky
ducks will get even more.
So lucky.
Now, I’ll stick to one theme per character, so some are selected by default, but for others,
it’ll be based on my own, terrible, taste in music.
If you enjoy this video, let us know by throwing us a thumbs up down below.
And if you want more, check out our video on the top 10 Sonic Songs!
But before you do that, get ready, it’s time for the Top 10 Sonic Character Theme
Songs!
Number 10: Knuckles' Theme: Unknown from M.E.
by Marlon Saunders.
Not gonna lie, this is probably my least favourite theme.
It switches back and forth from some aggressively-styled rap to some weird group singing...
it's strange.
But it's way funnier if you picture Knuckles trying to write a song, because this is totally
what we’d end up with.
Him rapping about his muscles.
There's another version with Hunnid-P but it's way too chaotic for me.
Heh.
Chaotic.
Knuckles Chaotix.
I didn't even do that on purpose.
Number 9: Amy's Theme: My Sweet Passion by Nikki Gregoroff.
I get wicked Austin Powers vibes from this one, it definitely sounds like something Foxy
Cleopatra would be singing.
But it's a pretty snazzy song; not something I'd listen to in my spare time, but very fitting.
Also, does the line "The Sphinx looked so cute, I had to shave it" sound dirty to anyone
else, or is it just that all these Sonic videos have corrupted me?
Probably the latter.
Number 8: Silver's Theme: Dreams of an Absolution, by Bentley Jones.
This one’s a classic, and is seen by some as one of the best parts of Sonic 06.
It’s very poppy, with some electronic music and a strong beat, and it’s definitely energizing.
This one’s one of the most popular themes out there, so it had to be on here, but personally…
it’s not my cup of tea.
Too much autotune.
But that’s just me.
Number 7: Shadow's Theme: Throw it All Away by Everett Bradley.
This song definitely isn't everyone's cup of tea; it kinda has a Marilyn Manson vibe
to it, and it has a weird vocal bridge bit with really strange vocals.
But at the same time, the dark chaos of the song is pretty damn fitting for Shadow.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this song was just playing in his head 24/7.
Number 6: Big's Theme: Lazy Days by Ted Poley.
Not gonna lie, I didn’t really know this one before researching this list, and I was
pretty shocked that the theme for Big, one of the worst characters ever, is actually
one of my favourites.
It’s kind of a combination of Buddy Holly, the Beach Boys, and Sonic, and the conversational
style of it makes it almost seem like it’s from a musical.
And by golly I would definitely watch a Sonic musical, despite my emotional scars.
Number 5: Rouge’s Theme: Fly in the Freedom by Tabitha Fair.
This song is just perfect for Rouge.
It's got that quick beat and jazzy tune that makes you want to get up and move those hips,
but underneath it all is a nice, sultry little piano bit on the bottom.
I can kinda see Rouge singing this in a club or something, it just works so well.
Number 4: Tikal's theme: Theme of Tikal by Fumie Kumatani.
Yeah, the title isn't the most imaginative, but the song itself is super unique for Sonic.
Most of the songs have a clear inspiration from Japan, for obvious reasons, or else from
the West, for other obvious reasons.
But since Tikal is Mayan, they went in a different direction for the song, and it really shows.
Number 3: Tails’ Theme: Believe in Myself by Kaz Silver.
The first version of this song that I heard was the one from Sonic Adventure, and I wasn’t
super thrilled about it since it didn’t seem to fit Tails.
But this one from Adventure 2 is way better.
Not only does the singer get some pretty great emotion in the song, but they actually sound
kinda like Tails, and since the song is written from Tails’ perspective, it makes it way
more effective.
Give it a listen.
Number 2: Eggman's Theme: E.G.G.M.A.N.
by Paul Shortino.
This one is definitely one of my faves.
This one fits Eggman perfectly, from the lyrics, to the music, even the title.
EGGMAN.
It's basically a song talking about how amazing Eggman is, which is exactly what he'd want,
and the music itself is pretty badass.
Great guitar.
Number 1: Sonic's Theme: It Doesn't Matter by Tony Harnell.
Yeah I know it might seem like I'm just sticking this at the top because it's Sonic, but I'm
sorry, this is by far my favourite theme.
It's the perfect combination of fitting lyrics and fitting vocals, with an awesome style,
a really catchy chorus, plus, like, it's a good song.
I really like it.
That’s it for today!
