The Shoebody Bop: Arranged for Marimba

Описание: It is my great pleasure to bring this to you on New Year's Day, 2026.

Behind the great "Shoebody Bop" meme lies an anthem told in three parts. Naturally, I multiplied the three times three again to make nine, and so on...

My hats are off to the Minute Hour and ‪@DrueLanglois‬ , that original video and original track belong in a god dang museum!





In case you're still reading...
I had an absolute blast arranging, plotting, scheming, and recording this project. It is far from perfect. In fact, there's a critical repeated melodic line that I failed to cover during the "giant forehead guy" sequence, because I was busy being cute and cranking up the mallets like when the guy cranks his neck before bonking the "giant forehead guy."

There's a lot going on here.
If you enjoyed the performance, and you'd like to see more stuff like this, please do sub---that will signal my brain to make more neato marimba content.

In the distant future, if I can get my hands on a five octave board, I can truly do this masterpiece the justice it deserves. (The larger board means getting all the way down to lowwwwww F#, which was not available on this particular board.)
