Existing youtube videos don't correctly loop the song - you can't loop the entire thing, only the last bit. Just for kicks, I did it all for real.

This is an extended version of Joker's victory theme from Smash Ultimate. They do an interesting thing with the song -- I believe in technical terms you can say that the little interesting thingies at the beginning bits aren't in the loopy bits so the loopy bits make you feely feely like something's gonna happen but it keeps going and going without any of the exciting parts coming back.

30 minutes of implying an exciting twist to the song and not delivering is a great way to drive that point all the way home.

To be fair that's true of any of the victory themes in smash: the default TAAH TA TAAAH TA TAAAH TA TAAAH TA TAAH TA TAAH TA, and the ff7 pararam-pararararara-rararararam-parararararara-rararararam-pararara-rararararararam-pararararara-rararararam. But at least those had some more interesting progressions - there's nothing but a bass line here and it's kinda tiring actually, whereas I could listen to the other ones for a long period of time.

True, they're victory themes and the progression doesn't need to be complex or even intersting and they're looping ad infinitum, but take for example "gaur plain - day" which is actually quite intersting in that the song has a few "branching" points and there's many ways to make each section flow into the next one, so the loop really doesn't seem repetitive - in fact I'm fairly sure you can cut the song into a bunch of clips or samples and randomly put them back together and it won't sound weird.
