It's funny to me that in an effort to very simply stretch the song into a different rhythm, you've created something entirely different that doesn't just sound unique, but *_good._*
I reckon the biggest contributor to this is the syncopation. Our primary exposure to swing comes from jazz, which also features a lot of emphasis on offbeats. Megalovania happens to make frequent use of offbeats, with half the main riff being nothing but offbeats, and that’s what helps it to swing so hard when made to swing. Other songs, even in the Undertale soundtrack (e.g. Bonetrousle), have much simpler rhythms with more notes on the beat. So when they get turned into swing, it sounds boring. It doesn’t sound like what we expect of swing. It sounds like a shuffle at best. Though it may be difficult to do in this particular format, anyone arranging a low-syncopation song in a swing style should consider shuffling a few notes around so they land on more offbeats - especially at the start or end of a phrase. Any alteration could work in theory, but some work better than others, and the best way to get a feel for what’s most effective is to listen to how jazz does it. Especially big band jazz.
I feel like the thing that would make it perfect, would be when the high beeps that form the melody, would be more freely put over the rest of the music. That would give it that bit of jazzy feel it needs.
Quantum Sans said "Sorry old lady. This is why I don't make promises." before you fought him. I made it "This is why I don't swing with those I don't make promises with." because of the video, and how it has a swing.
@@holeofdarn yes, but when sans says, "This is why I don't make promises", he is stating that he regrets making the bad decision of making a promise, while in your statement, "I don't swing with those I don't make promises with", implies that he hasn't made a promise with Toriel for some reason, instead your pun should have been "this is why i don't swing with promises", as the pun is still there, yet the original meaning of the passage still is the same
