🌞 Brace yourselves for a no-nonsense, Midwest Emo-Punk take on the legendary Arthur Theme Song! 🎸🎤
🌾 If you're not familiar with Midwest Emo, it's a genre that burst onto the scene in the American heartland during the late '90s and early 2000s. Expect heartfelt lyrics, gritty guitar riffs, and unapologetic vocals - that's the essence of Midwest Emo, and we're cranking it up a notch.
📺 Arthur, that cherished animated series from our childhoods, has never sounded quite like this before. I'm paying my respects by giving it a punk rock twist that'll hit you like a wave of nostalgia. 🐰📚
🎶 Grab a cold one, soak up the sun, and join me in celebrating the magic of Arthur with a Midwest Emo-Punk makeover that's destined to be your summer jam.

this made me cackle lmao

It's like Binky picked up a guitar and learned to express his emotions in a healthy way. I love it!
UNDERRATED, ABSOLUTELY AGREE 💯🥰
My favorite of Binky's arcs was when he turned out to be a clarinet genius
New headcanon
This reminded me of the meme where Binky puts on the headphones and it's American Football
I hate that they made him a fucking weather man@@kagitsune

Original iPad kids
At the very least, Arthur was some quality edutainment. So, coulda been worse. Coulda been skibidi toilet.
PBS kids
Unironically put this on Spotify. Such intense nostalgia
Ok please I’d put it on repeat 😭
It’s in the description
Do people ever read the description(s)?
Oddly enough that's where I found it a couple of weeks ago, and now it randomly came up on CZcams
Yes
They better pay you millions of dollars for this as the opener to the inevitable gritty Netflix reboot.
I would watch the heck outta that 😆😆😆
I can SEE the fuzzy black and white moody title card flashing intros for each character.

Live action styled similar to supernatural?🤔

Midwest emo is honestly such a crazy genre
Did you even read the directions?
@@bnenyeufo ?
It's actually extremely basic and not new. Not saying it's bad, but I'd argue it's definitely not "crazy"
@@AtechG35 it's bad music with a good beat and someone yelling into a mic, crazy how I love it so much but yes, basic
I need an ‘07 Honda civic tinted out, with a Best Buy touch screen radio system, blasting this as I cry with a half lit cig
Midwest Emo sounds like how it feels when you walk home from school on a gray autumn day, leaves lining the sidewalks, you feel a drop of rain or two as you cross the threshold into your home. The living room is carpeted, with wooden paneling, and warm yellow lamps replacing the typical ceiling fixtures. This living room is straight from the 60s, just like your parents, who will come home soon and destroy the solitude, instigating some kind of familial discourse instead.
That wasn't even my own memory I just described my friend's childhood home lmfao
You sure you didn't describe mine? There was so much discourse, we weren't even allowed to enter the house through said wood paneling living room from the 60s (or in my case, the rest of the house was like that, and the living room was a remodeled garage). Instead, everyone except my dad had to enter through the back door, into this weird tiny connecting room between the kitchen and dining rooms (the dining room which became used like a second living room, because the actual living room was being used as my dad's bedroom after he got permanently kicked out of sharing a bed with my mom)
Just a big ol spaghetti of "maybe I don't want to come home from school today - sure I'll stay late to help pick up after band practice, and maybe then we can hang out at your place?"
I understood Midwest emo when I moved to east Minnesota from Central California during summer and saw winter. Every house looked liked the American football house including mine lol
The small-town version of the the teen girl who just got off watching Foamy the Squirrel on newgrounds while signing a "Bring Back Invader Zim" petition wearing a Jack Skellington hoodie and Happy Tree Friends tube socks purchased from Hot Topic during an Emily the Strange buy one get one 50% off sale where she discovered Serenity Rose from Slave Labor Graphics Comics while her overbearing but loving father restricts her from going to the My Chemical Romance/Limp Bizkit concert with a 5-years-older-than-her boyfriend that constantly IMs unsourced stolen Pon and Zi comic art over a 56k modem America Online trial discs on myspace with a Top 8 consisting of Tim Burton, Jack Sparrow, Eminem, Jesus Christ, and whatever angsty band is the hit new thing on Disney Adventures magazine and spends all day filling out "What Kingdom Hearts Character are You?" quizzes only to complain she didn't get Riku and is unable to watch the 2003 MTV Music Awards because her deadbeat older brother is always hogging the living room TV playing Tony Hawk's Underground on his Halo edition transparent green Xbox using a third-party Mad Catz Air Flo controller with a busted analog stick constantly leaning to the right making anti-Semitic remarks about how Eric stole his wicked McTwist over the helicopter in Hawaii footage.
Whoa 😢 that was so descriptive and EXACTLY what it feels like
Did not expect an upbeat Ziggy Marley song from a PBS cartoon could work as a melancholic, punky anthem, but somehow...It works.
i like to riff!!
Did not know ziggy Marley sang it
I distinctly remember a pop punk version of it. Not so much Midwest tho
It's was by Felix!
@@kiefschief2558there’s a hardcore version like hardline hardcore
WE MAKIN IT OUTTA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🔥🔥🔥
(subbed btw this rules 👍)
It's one thing that listening to it makes me feel good, but another that you look so very happy making it.😊
you’re too kind!! i appreciate you
@echoisaband seriously, this would have been INCREDIBLE even just with sound and no visuals. But seeing your passion and dedication to making this an honest to god send-up like this, seeing you having so fun making something that tugs so hard at the heartstrings of anyone who grew up watching Arthur, it really brings a triumphant, hopeful, inspiring aspect to a great rendition that might not have carried the same sweetness and optimism if we weren't seeing you having the time of your life creating it. Thanks so much for this. I mentioned in a different comment that i only really listen to gangsta rap and hardcore (as in hxc punk/powerviolencence/speedcore/sludge/grind; not that awful cookiecutter rave crap they call hardcore nowadays), but I'm waiting on baited breath to see what you come up with next. You're massively talented and i love what you're doing😊
PS you have excellent pipes!!!! Literally no criticisms, just pure great music ❤
This fills me with melancholy.
It’s like the song that plays on the last day of your childhood, and that replays sporadically in your adulthood to remind and haunt you of what you lost, and how comparatively simple and joyful those days used to be.
As children, we’re in a desperate rush to grow up. And as adults, we’re in a desperate, quiet sorrow to go back again.
ok this crushed me omg
@@ellenv4686but you get to live it again if you have kids. It's cool
Oh no absolutely not I have no desire to he a child again
Thanks for making me feel sad. Jk. I already was.
Your the oldest you’ve ever been and the youngest you’ll ever be 🫠
This just made me realize that the society presented in Arthur has a much stronger sense of community than our own and I'm afraid it has left me irreparably damaged
Damn.
What if I told you that you’re a part of society and choose whether or not to participate in a community. 1st step is taking accountability.
@@NathanHoff96 it's kinda wild that you can just start talkin' to people and bein' nice sometimes, like some kinda... community
@@NathanHoff96 Where I live everyone stays at home and trusts no one. I get no choice
@@doughboywhineyou always have a choice. Like he said, accountability. I promise there are people in your community who have stronger bonds in it than you do, and there is nothing stopping you from being more like them.
I know that because I used to feel that way and now I see people I know and am on good terms with all the time. People who love me and are invested in me. I know their families, and I know what is going on in their lives. Church is a good spot to start finding community and it’s good for a lot more than just that is what I found.
This bop was made possible by the existential dread and traumatic middle school experiences shared by viewers like you.... Thank you

Ahhh dark humor my fav 😂
I am laughing way too hard at this while crying on the inside at the relevance to my life 🤣😭😅
The most relatable comment I've ever seen.
This was the reason the internet was made. Thank you.
It was actually made for war, but this is much better.
Not only was it not clickbait, it was genuinely high quality. Fuck yeah, man.
From Arthur kid to adult emo, I approve this 👍
thank you so much!! i’m glad i’m not the only one lol
Holy Shit, CZ! Was not expecting that
YO YOURE THE HORROR MOVIE GUY
Yay 🏴☠️
I thought you were all gone.
The 90s wasn’t a decade. It was an emotion.
Your 64 likes reminded me of my old system...ahhh such sweet nostalgia. 🤗(PS2 changed the game though.)
That's kinda every decade, the things we associate with the 60s or the 80s or whatever aren't necessarily stuck in time
@@mintz9782they didn’t ruin cartoons, you’re just not a kid who’s biggest worry is having to go to bed at 8:30
Uhhhhh no
@@mintz9782 Who are "they" and what did they do to "ruin cartoons"?
As a kid whose dad got rid of cable and only had PBS to watch, Arthur was one of the homies that held me down.
The spoken intro is accurate as hell
We makin it out of Elwood City with this one 💯
LMAOOOOO
@@echoisaband awesome work dude ❤
“But I wanted to name it ELMwood”
transformed it into midwest emo without losing the original feel and thats amazing
I think it's because even if it's Emo, it isn't cynical.
If this is what getting older is like; seeing your childhood shows get amazing mixes like this. I'm all for it
I love getting older
I showed my mom this. She thought it was cute as hell! Good work you've gained a new fan all around.
echo is a momcore band tbh!!!

This cleared my skin, watered my crops, and cured my depression
happy to help! can i get some vegetables?
Ngl, kinda brought my depression back, but in a melancholic, middle school, me and my friends against the world sorta way. And isn't that the whole point 😔
Dude same.
I’m still depressed but this shit fucking kicks ass
My dog that I’ve had for 13 years passed away on Monday. I’ve been numb. This made my heart warm. Thank you.
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤ even after they are gone the love stays
Double true they are with you forever.
I recently lost my dog as well a couple weeks ago I feel your pain. The week I turned 20 my dog I got when I was about 8 passed away…
Nothing will ever make that pain completely go away we will always miss our doggos
bro dared to touch it and cooked an absolute banger
I 100% thought this would be an AI cover. I’m so glad it wasn’t. The guitar work in this was masterful
AI covers can be pretty good tho.
@@kennypowers1945fucking no dawg
This was waaaaaay better than I imagined. It's a masterpiece which is Nostalgic af.
Okay someone needs to make an a.i. cover now sonwe can compare
@@kennypowers1945 I’m not disputing that. But this is an original guitar composition and the vocals are very nice. I’m sure if someone did “Arthur Theme Song - Blink 182”, it would be really neat, but this has that extra bit of soul AI can’t recreate (yet)
This sounds like the day before you have to go back to school after Summer and you're just walking with your friends in the Park as the leaves begin to brown and fall from the trees... good times
Where I am, the leaves won't have browned at all by then. Usually not until some point in october or maybe november. In early september at the start of the school year here, it's still often quite warm... but maybe some late summer hints of chill in the air at times.
Now we hate white people for breathing an ignore reality. Often being completely consumed by hate. An narcissist are a dime a dozen with no idea of the way they are acting. Bullying degrading. We really learned to play and get along with each other
@@Aeduo same, I pretty much always started the school year in shorts because it was still just late summer
I went back to school in the blazing August heat 😅
Dude this is absolute art. Didn’t know I needed to see this but I did. Thanks homie.
The specific episode you opened with hit me hard, as I was the annoying little sister to my older brother, and there were a couple of times he got physical - never in a truly bad way, but enough that I identified completely with D.W. there. This clip triggered a memory for me I wasn't ready for, a bit bittersweet remembering the real life struggle, but the comfort of finding a mirror of my experience on TV that helped me to understand everything and be more sympathetic for my brother (and be a little less obnoxious lol).
ALSO, since the whole point of the video is a Midwest Emo (lol) version of the theme song and not a trauma dump, I absolutely love this song.
I know it might be just a loop, but if you can make it a bit longer, even just repeating some verses and more instrumental, I would love love love that too! 2 minutes isn't enough!
Dw was honestly such a brat. She ran wild, I was an older sibling and she would make me so mad 😂
Arthur is one of those characters that has a lot of midwest emo intro moments. He is a very tortured eight year old 😔 (Charlie Brown also comes to mind)
its the yellow shirts
My entire life in my brain’s sound board is Charlie Brown after trick or treating looking in his bag saying “… I got a rock 😩 “
@@BIacklcelmfao
bro charlie brown’s valentine 😢
Remember Ruff Ruffman? The dog with no human to love him 😔
Finally, real talent being used to make creative content. I'm so sick of seeing AI covers everywhere
You said it!
Fuck ai
@@imthebossmermaid3648 Wrong it's perfectly fine and is letting people have fun in ways that they otherwise couldn't before. Splicing vocals was a thing in the past like the Throught the Fire and Flames but it's Steam Hams creation but thanks to AI you can now record audio and use AI to turn it into a character singing it instead. It still IS made by humans you fucking goober. The AI can't do it without human assistance and the mixing and mastering that goes into it is also human lol.
REAL!
Real talent is everywhere making real content all the time, you just have to be looking for it and it’s not too hard to find.
This cover changed my life. I'm serious. I've been thinking about the lyrics for days, and about everyone having their own point of view and working together to make things better. And the twinkle guitar riffs just raised the emotional power of this song so much for me. I've recalled ancient childhood memories because of this video. Amazing.
I… I was not expecting this to be fire. I don’t know what I expected, but it certainly wasn’t something of this production quality. I really liked this.
I'm an actual midwestern emo and I approve this message. The intro feels iconic and the riff makes me wish I'd had a father to show me Arthur, this is an absolute masterpiece.
@@bluemeikoit’s very apparent your only exposure to Emo is through the internet and you’ve never gone to DIY / punk shows which is where real Midwest Emo exists. I normally wouldn’t roast so hard but the fact that you’re so pompous and certain about something that you really know nothing about is hilarious to me. The only band that’s actually even remotely Emo out of all of those you listed is American football. Go do urself a favor and learn about real Midwest Emo bands and the different eras. Like capn jazz, braid, algernon, merchant ships, brave little abacus, mineral, even SDRE.
Oh my god I feel you lol
Damn, this really makes you feel like an early 2000's A-A-R-D-V-A-R-K.
They're aardvark's?? My whole life I thought they were bears or some shit lmaooo
@@Rosie-ij3onme too 😂😂
Sometimes the needs to be an Earth pig is overwhelming
Arthur’s spelling song is still fire
This is how I know how to spell aardvark
ripped my headphones out in sheer fucking awe of this fire takeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
This just popped out of nowhere. I’m glad it showed up. Absolutely amazing.
I love how he kept it 90’s. This is such an amazing cover
WE BELIEVING IN OURSELVES WITH THIS ONE 💯💯💪💯
YESSIRRRRRR!!!!!!

Top comment 👌
Bro the instrumentation on this song is sick.
Thank you, algorithm. Now my trips to Menards will be complete.
save big money at menards!
If Arthur was still making episodes they'd definitely feature you on their show. PBS rocks like that.
PBS smashed that retweet! it was awesome!
@@echoisaband oh my gosh #lifegoals.
You really encapsulated that soft warm melancholic sound. Even the harmonies on the background vocals are super emo.🥲 Super nostalgic for me.
Strangely enough, it gave me the exact same nostalgic feel for an entirely different genre.
These progressions sounded way too familiar to me, and I've never listened to Midwest Emo. Specifically the artist Home. Then it hit me, the only reason I even learned about Home was because of emo Simpsonwave videos with their more crushing tracks like Decay from the Odyssey album. Nothing more Midwest emo than living in Springfield, I suppose.
Now I want to binge some Arthur.
10/10.
This is dope dude. I'm a mid 40s plus father of a young boy and with CZcams kids being suspect I turn to PBS sometimes for wholesome television. It's awesome to hear the theme song of a good cartoon brought up to date. Thank you
This song should be more popular than the meme.
Being angry needs to give way to being loving.
Damn that second thing you wrote im using that for a bio or something on a game
Feels bittersweet to remember a time before cell phones, just watching Arthur after school while eating some microwave popcorn. You play beautifully and captured such a good vibe. 🥹
Speaking of remembering old times, when are we getting the bardcore version of the theme, Hilda?
VON BLINGIN!
Woah you described the vibe of this so well!
You guys were too young to have cell phones, most likely. But when Arthur came out, my little siblings watched this show. Myself and my older sister had cell phones, though.
Never know who you'll bump into in these comment sections.
I feel you on that smile at .24 big Manny. If I could play a riff like that I'd be smiling too. Music makes me high!!!
I unironically love this. Beautiful cover. Thanks!!
THIS LITERALLY BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES. This is beautiful.
I'm glad I'm not the only one!
This brought beautiful nostalgia and this lovely energy that we would all make it through the hard days.
SAME how beautiful that we can share that experience!
This is the complete polar opposite of "my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined" lol I want this in my Spotify rotation 😁
My satisfaction is immeasurable and my day is saved
My appointment is measurable and my day is made
Your disappointment is ruined, and your day was made immeasurable.
My ecstacy is immeasurable and my Spotify rotation is complete
Things long buried deep in my subconscious are stirring
certified hood classic.
REAL TRAP SHIT
Born and raised in the Midwest, with two younger sisters, in a not so rich area of town. For some reason this song took me back, made my eyes a little teary, and before I realized it my lighter was up in the air.
That “HEY!” Instantly brought me back to the 90s
It’s SUCH A BANGER!
This song makes me think:
Arthur grew up a successful member of society, but he deeply regrets his choices in his youth. Hes happy now, but nostalgic.
God DAMN this brought me nostalgia of watching Arthur on PBS while my dad was at work. He had a little battery powered TV he would bring with him on jobs if I had to go with him because we couldn't afford a babysitter. Great times
Honestly bro, this slaps! Love the vibe, nostalgia and the crt filter. Good voice too, keep it up man.
Being able to play those riffs + vocals simultaneously is so impressive… Great song too 🙌 thanks for sharing!
This song somehow perfectly embodies the emotions of finally completing a game that you love. You’re overjoyed that you’ve completed it, but sad that it’s over, the journey was great but the fun is over, now you’re left with a sense of both peace and a calm emptiness
this was me after beating psychonauts 2 tbh
or a good book
@@TheOGJeff
I see you have your library card.
Kingdom hearts 1
I feel that
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!?! AS A MIDWEST EMO LOVER AND AUTHUR THEME SONG LOVER I LOVE THISSS
i bet buster listens to sleeping with sirens tbh
I love this. I absolutely love this so much
this appeared on my spotify recs and now youtube is recommending it and i just wanna say it makes me smile
Holy shit the lyrics are perfect for this genre
This was insanely good (and creative!) A+ from Mr. Ratburn
wasn’t he also in a band?
This is so 2000s, I had to come back and listen after hearing a 2000s cover of Persona’s burn my dread. It reminded me of this. Definitely subbing!
Midwest emo is such a relatable mood 🥺🥺 kinda like being a Disney princess; dreaming big while growing up stuck in the middle of nowhere...
CZcams knew I was having a bad day. I'm glad this came my way. Absolutely glorious!
happy to cheer ya up!!!
Same ❤
I’m ready for a Jekyll and Hyde rendition.
That song has been in my head for years now
Absolutely agree
please…my #1 Arthur song
I really want to see this lol
this was the most wholesome, nostalgic, amazing thing i could have found this morning.
Feels like an early CZcams video from like 2005 - great vibes
As a 90s chicago emo kid, I can confirm this is spot on. Great guitar riff.
I watched Arthur every day as a kid since it aired when I was 4 months old. The show ended on my 25th birthday and will always have a special place in my formative memories. This absolutely warms my millennial heart 🥹
Your lil smile as you sing the lyrics of this saturday morning cartoon 🥹
This is amazing to see. I’ve done my part to waste scammer time, but this is so many levels above that. I’m really glad you and your team are able to do this, and it’s thrilling that you care so much and seem to be actually able to do something with this, which is exceptional.
BRO. This morning I was talking to some people about Arthur at Spirt Halloween… then this evening I was talking to my husband about Midwest Emo… AND THEN MY PHONE THAT ALWAYS LISTENS TO ME DECIDED TO BECOME EVEN MORE ADVANCED AND START PUTTING MY SEPARATE CONVERSATIONS TOGETHER TO SUGGEST THIS SONG TO ME- Arthur Theme Song but in Midwest Emo! Haha I am shooketh but it’s a great cover so I’m not entirely mad.
Das crazy
Always remember, the algorithm overlords are always listening, always watching 😁😁😁😁
Yeah one time I was talking about politics. Then I said Vanessa Hudgens was hot, next thing yiu know I get an ad with Vanessa Hudgens urging me to vote.
At least you’re still insanely hot
damn this blew up
Because this slaps bro
You deserve it, my friend. You did a good job!
I’ve been listening to this every morning before work, keep me calm and pumped
You know what, I'm into it, this is the best thing I've seen this week
this warms my heart
you’re Into It? well, i’m Over It.
@@AliceYobby nice
I've been listening to this song a lot recently, and I finally figured out why. I've never watched this show, probably never listened to the theme in full, but the way this sounds makes me nostalgic for it regardless. The pure vibe of the song is intoxicating in the best possible way. It's great and I like it.
Hiraethe, look it up. Cool term for Nostalgia for something you’ve never known.
@@iansinoz56 that's not what hiraeth actually means. it's a term specific to cymru/wales, meaning a sense of wistfulness or longing for the homeland and its people. not "something you've never known"
I feel like this just threw my algorithm into a pit of fire.
That tapping riff is h e a v e n
The vibes in this are immaculate. I don't really dabble in this genre but this was really fun to listen to.
I literally started singing along and harmonizing because I ONLY grew up with PBS, so the lyrics were buried deep inside of me. Please make a full version!! Never knew what Midwest Emo was but now I'm obsessed!!
i’m kinda new to the genre too i just started getting into it more this past year, american football is a pretty good place to start imo, never meant & i’ll see you when we’re both not so emotional are some of my favs by them
Good luck. You're in for a wild ride.
I love this! Thank you for sharing 🖤
Bro. This is great! I hope you hit a million soon!
Wow! Okay, algorithm, you gave me an absolute gem this time. Very well done on this! I dig it.
As an aside, it's always interesting to see smaller creators have a video randomly absolutely blow up. Love seeing how they react to the sudden deluge of comments. All these replies and reactions, you are absolutely a class act.
Dude I thought this was just an incredible edit until you started singing; absolutely flawless. Literally thought this was American Football for a second, great job!
okay but that lick halfway through mane shredded!
Dude, this is literally one of favorite songs now
My jaws dropped the moment you started singing, this is incredible
We Making It Out Of SELF DOUBT With This One!!!!
Excellent work, i love it!🖤
Guitar is so good, dreamy. Captured the 90s for sure.
I still remember the first time I saw that episode, a core memory.
i appreciate the warm reception to this video! if you want a shirt to remember Emo Arthur, pick one up at shop.echoisaband.com :)
Great variation on the song. It went really well with the lyrics. Keep the content up man.
Who makes your shirts?
i design them! having them printed online after the pre-order is over :)
happy to see the algorithm gods decided to boost this!
