Dogbonk (Rejected rhythm game song by Toby fox)

"SONG REJECTED
Usually this is where I advertise songs that got into a rhythm game.
However, this time, my song... didn't make it.
To explain a bit... it's hard for me to want to "give it my all" to make a song that's not for a story, character, or scene in a game... If I can feel a deep connection with the subject, then I can make a great song, but just simply "make a song for a rhythm game" is a surprisingly difficult request.
Therefore, I decided I would try to focus on a subject that I could feel a deep connection with.
I decided to make a song about a factory of dogs getting hit on the head with giant cartoon squeaky hammers.
Surprisingly, they were imagining something slightly different. … That makes sense, I suppose… considering I made the song demo before they gave me any instructions on what they wanted at all...
We will try to finish the song one day. And, of course I'm going to try my best making a different song for the game, too."
