Nice.
Animal Crossing missed coming out at precisely the right moment only by a week–which, all things considered, is pretty amazing. For me, it’s operated both as a necessary distraction and as a mobile antidepressant throughout the quarantine. And this little virtual concert is straight-up heartwarming.
Headline makes it sound like there’s a controversy over who played the music on Animal Crossing, like the game company tried to have a “front band” that didn’t really play the music take credit for it.
But here are the REAL musicians behind the Animal Crossing theme. The secret has been exposed!!!
[MARGE tells THERAPIST about being bullied for her Monkees lunchbox because they didn’t play their own instruments]
THERAPIST: children can be so cruel
MARGE: it’s true though, they didn’t play their own instruments
THERAPIST: the Monkees weren’t about music Marge, they were about rebellion! About political and social upheaval!
