Honeydewyeayea Piano!
602I play blindfolded the Honeydewyeayea theme!
See the Honeydewyeayea video here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D67jM8nO7Ag
Music originally from "What's Up?" written by Linda Perry for 4 Non Blondes. See the music video here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NXnxTNIWkc
Let's identify and examine the compositional techniques used in the Honeydewyeayea theme to enhance the video! The rhythm of the music matches the rhythm of the physical actions of the viking in the video. For instance, the viking dancing and singing matches the quarter-note pulses in the music. The music is diagetic, meaning that the character in the video and the viewer both perceive the music.
Perhaps the use of a non-current pop song such as "What's Up" (1992) suggests a regression to the past. This regression coincides with the viking costume, period setting, and the overall silly affect. At the same time, the use of electronic beats in the music alludes to a more modern aesthetic. Hence there is a truck and text messaging in the video.
