i'm laughing for real right now

I don't know who remembers or cares, but a while back (a few years ago?), there was a phase of people altering the keys of songs from major to minor or the opposite and seeing what it sounded like. I specifically remembering hearing a major key version of an REM song, and also Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Anyway the point is that last night, the following wandered across my dash: The X-Files Theme tune in major key - as comments note, it sounds like it could be the music for the starting village in an RPG. It's utterly bizarre, and I can't stop listening to it.

(On a related note: do you like Mass Effect? Have you heard I Was Lost Without You speeded up? because it makes it a way more chirpier tune than what's on the soundtrack. And, you know, also music that could be in a happier RPG).

...I too am laughing for real right now.

The worst part is that I did watch a goodly sized portion of that show back when it was airing, so...it's hilarious but also unnerving.

Isn't it just? I think that's part of it, knowing the original and the tone of the show, it's like, hang on, this is WAY too chirpy.

:O

So glad I heard this.

It's great, isn't it?

That x files tune in a major key - heh! :D

Best thing I've found for a while :)
