What are some great songs from "unassuming places"? - Lemmy.world
Me and my buddy are trying to put a set-list together with the theme mentioned
in the title. “Unassuming places” is intentionally a little vague, but the idea
is that feeling of “damn, I did not expect a song from this [insert piece of
media] to be that good,” or when you sit down and really listen to something you
are surprised at well-composed it is, or songs that sound simple and reach a
wide audience, but are actually a lot more complicated under the hood. Some
examples of the sounds we’re going for are: - Disney tunes like Someday My
Prince Will Come [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xOiKNFcbfU] and Bear
Necessities [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASi7lyg5gRI] - Children’s
songs/show themes such as Castaways by the Backyardigans
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOtXFVyP_hk], or the iCarly
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFALPwUrWcw], Arthur
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIXbQLwAor4], and Flintstones
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJY64KjBBpE] theme songs - Songs from Nintendo
games (really the epitome/inspiration of this list) like KK Jazz
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNtZElH9OZA] and KK Bossa
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjI-XaaIrdw], the Eterna Forest
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw8OOD3XcCI] and Littleroot
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im6tbN9SZXs] themes, Hateno Village theme
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj07-YU5cTk], or the Underworld theme
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox2Fjp9oeAI] from Super Mario Bros. You might
also be able to call this list “songs geared towards children but are actually
good” but I feel like that has more of a nursery rhyme-ish connotation and I’m
hoping to branch out of that. We’re a guitar duo with a jazz background, so
songs that could potentially fit that mold are preferred, but I don’t want that
to hinder anyone from giving suggestions! I’d love to see what anyone can come
up with.
