Can You Feel the Sunshine? from Sonic R - Up Tempo Big Band Version (The 8-Bit Big Band)

- Joel Waggoner is featured in this up-tempo Swing/Broadway opening number inspired arrangement of "Can You Feel the Sunshine?" from Sonic R. for the Sega Saturn (1997). Originally a more electronic music/house inspired track, the lyrics and chord changes to me always felt like they would be right at home in a Judy Garland/Frank Sinatra inspired setting as the opening for some kind of mid-century variety show. Hope you enjoy!!

Obsessed with this song, the singer's voice is out of this world!
and no auto tune! :D
You're not the only one!
It is. 💜 Much love to you!
I kinda wish they had a female voice like the original though 😅
HES AMAZING ❤ 😭
It was an honor to play trumpet on this!!!! This is one of my favorite games ever 😭 I'll never forget playing this on Windows XP...
You and the rest of the brass section need an award because you lot were FIIRREEEE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
As my music playlist fills with more and more 8bbb and j-music ensemble you've continued to delight and bring sweet jazzy sounds to my ears, keep up the good work man!! 😊
windows xp? lol
@@LavaCreeperPeopleyeah pretty much every sonic game up until adventure had a PC release a year or two after it's console release. The PC version of Sonic R had much better draw distance and visuals vs the Saturn version
Outstanding playing!
1:02 my man T-posed to assert dominance over that high note. And damn it, it worked.
I love seeing that, the way different singers anchor themselves!
Not once but twice
@xxvskrunkle yeah I noticed that! Sounded so strong too!👏🏾👏🏾
@@AyeshaShaSha yesss
Definitely noticed the inspiration of “Can’t Buy Me Love” in this version, especially in the intro
I do love that Buble arrangement and was DEFINITELY inspired by it!! Congrats on being the first to notice haha
@@The8BitBigBandI had an inkling of a hunch these two sounded familiar!
Julia is absolutely SHREDDING that bassline 🤩
My favorite part is the insane strings run in the second verse. Joel's singing is top-notch, too. And I adore the animations for this one, with all the subtle details and fun interactions with the studio background!
YES! I literally commented the same thing! The strings are inSANE at that part! And the double bass throughout is just 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
I’ve been obsessed with this ever since you performed it with Solomon Parker at MAGFest, thanks so much for recording it 😊❤!!!
Grief, not a single instrument got off easy huh! Phenomenal musicians in that room, and another excellent arrangement. Great job all involved!
YES! One of my favourite songs from Sonic. I love Joel's voice. As always, amazing cover. I wish there was a European Tour, I would totally buy a ticket.
Best song in the album imo
I love it too.
Completely agree with you!
Yes a 1000 times although Pollyanna is a close second
hey! hey!! .. Diamond in the Sky? Super Sonic Racing? BACK IN TIME $#%@ respectfully, and hilariously, disagree. level 1 was always the banger to end all bangers though
No, this is a fact
I shed a few tears because of how beautiful this was. Definitely did brighten up my day.
Same
FR FR!!!!!
I hope y’all win another grammy for this one.
This is honestly one of my favorite songs of all time now! The sax solo is especially amazing, and the singer is insanely good!
Watching the (ridiculously skilled) drummer fighting for his life for 4 straight minutes ; _ ; hahahaha Bryan absolutely nailed it. Spotless track.
I was about to say the same thing. This wasn't easy to play at all
WTF I didn’t even know I had this song hidden in the closet of my mind for 20 years, how could you, among the plenty more famous song choose indeed this one to make me remember it with an exceptional jazz cover??? You are incredible as always
This ENTIRE HORN SECTION at 2:27 onwards... I repeat this so much... I absolutely love it!
Sonic R is my all-time favorite game. Thank you so much for this absolutely incredible rendition. I can't even express the emotions I'm feeling right now.
That upright bass is going full savage mode. Outstanding!!
Bass player is on 🔥🔥🔥
I love how Joel is dancing a little like the lead singer in Carlos' cover of this ^^
Can I just say - this animation is quite brilliant! This banger is one of my favourite arrangements, and a superb job as always folks.
I’m so glad I got to hear Joel sing this song live tonight back in his hometown! What a great New Year’s Eve performance! He is so talented!
The level this piece requires to be play is just completely crazy 🤯 and it makes her even better to listen, I just love it like all the album 😍
I NEEDED THIS
Yes 👏
Same!
for what occassion?
@@jimscott2050 A bad day
Why yes, I can feel the sunshine
Me too.
Yup,right between my two ears!
Stupendous work from the singer, the players, the animator... Just wonderful stuff as always.
Out of all the songs, I never would have expected this!
I can feel the sunshine!
Thia is one of those songs where you absolutely feel so happy like pollyana and im so happy that people love it, this is phenomanal.
Imagine all the singers from every iteration sang together like a mashup 🤔
This cover really moves me.
I really can feel the sunshine.
That guy got some pipes!
Awesome once again. I can't imagine how expensive each video is since you have dozens of musicians and each needs to get paid something. Not just for the recording session.
Keep it up you magnificent bastards!
Babe wake up new grammy worthy 8bbb song dropped
I can't get enough of this rendition! It's incredibly well done and Joel's voice is an incredible choice.
This video is really quiet compared to the others in this playlist though T>T so I always have to turn it to max for this one
Never expected any Sonic music going Big Band Jazz at any time. Excellent & potential possibilties are open now. Thanks for sharing this with us here.
But they have already done two Sonic covers before 😃
@@Failentin,
I'm a recent arrival of this channel.
Album 4 has got to be the best thing y'all have ever released. Grammy #2 coming right up.
MAN - What an arrangement!! Absolutely exquisite band!! And wow, I just gotta say that half-tempo feel in the end from the pedal just HITS you. SO hard. Such a treat!! In love & in awe of Charlie, as always!
This such a underrated band and it kills me because you guys are just so damn good
I'm glad I'm not the only person that misses this soundtrack
I love that everyone commenting has a different favorite musician. What an insanely talented ensemble
Jeez that double bass !
I repeated this song like 50 times
I can’t believe I missed this amazing tribute to the Saturn’s 29th Anniversary (coincidentally?) last November 22nd. Amazing cover as always.
That upright bassist is playing it super cool, but she's going absolutely haam on those strings.
wow! I feel like If the world keeps collecting your covers, we'll eventually be able to turn super sonic
I can’t explain how much I love this album, it puts a smile on my face and makes me so happy!!! Thank you so much!!!!
MAN I DIDNT THINK IT WAS JOEL ON VOCALS HE KILLED IT SO HARD
this is my favorite song from the album, and maybe even of all 8-bit big band songs. its just fantastic, from the vocal masterpiece, to the banging sax solo all the way down to the bass line. I love this song!!
love how much better they made this sound! love that sunshine!
I was just telling my kid about this game! Easily the slowest Sonic the way I handled the controller, but this sound track is ace!
TJ Davis must be Proud ❤
been listening and singing with this non-stop since the album release. awesome job and thank you for everything!!!
You just made an already beautiful theme all the more beautiful. Great rendition.
it finally got released!! yesss
This so goooodddd , thank you for your amazing work 😭🙏✨✨✨💙🩷💙🩷
Beautiful, the OG song is already so good, but this just hits different... Never am disappointed with these incredible arrangements!
Classic rendition. I love the original and you all killed it! Great job with the animation too!
This is amazing. Music is great and singer is phenomenal! Well done!
This is my favorite individual song that you guys have done yet - fantastic!
THE GREATEST SONG EVER PRODUCED.
Holy baton!! Awesome work!!! Please, bring us more Sonic song arrangements. Love you, guys!
He looks apathetic but sounds wonderful. That's a compliment I swear. he effortlessly sounds wonderful
Ah yes Sonic Racing (or R) with the Slippery Controls and the birthplace of the Tails Doll Creepypasta
killer tenor solo
god you dont know how much i love this channel bc it introduced me to a lot of good video game songs AND covers them in my favorite genre of music :D
FINALLY MU GOSH, NO CONCERT VERSION
Absolutely love this version of the song.my expectations are always blown out of the water with what you guys do
dang! This was the first song on the new album that released like a week ago. I listened to it and wondered "why did I never listen to this one wtf" and now I know it's because the video wasn't out yet LOL
Absolutely in live with tgis channel, i love the jazz covers sm and this one is definitely one of my favs
one of the most pleasant surprises from the album. i knew it would be good, but not THIS good. one of my favorites!!! i CAN feel the sunshine
The bassist is going to crazy
Holy cow... There's no words, except excellent! It's like you're taking us back in time. There's barely any groups that make music like this anymore so it's nice to see big band hasn't completely died and still is full of talent.
The bassist, singer, and the saxophone soloist was extremely impressive.
And the drummer too, like man, he was into it and it was insanely difficult to pull off.
Absolutely amazing!!
Excellent diction, to sing this Pinafore classic so well deserves respect.😀
This is my favorite song from Sonic R. On top of that, it is my favorite Sonic song of all of them, and on top of that, it is my favorite song, period.
Your reharmonizations have really put a new spin on everything.
You turned my bad into a good one. Thank you so much, 8BBB!
Whoooooooooo, such a tune! Great arrangement, I love it!
I've been hoping for this one for awhile. Just as great as expected!
Holy shit that's absolutely amazing ! Loved every second of it, bravo to everyone involved !
Sonic R was my first video game!! So much nostalgia attached to this soundtrack. What a wonderful arrangement. I'd love to hear you guys do more from Sonic R!
YOUR BEST FCKNG ARRANGEMENT
Fantastic!!
This is such a banger! Instant great mood!
I like this version. Well done!
This is amazing! I clapped after the video!! 👏 Bravo!!
Gosh, this is such a wonderfully done arrangement. Easily the best fan arrangement of this tune from such a brilliant soundtrack. Nicely done, everyone!
Been listening to the track all week; cool to see the recording!
Excellent! 🔥🔥❤❤
Awesome arrangement!
This is so wonderful
Excellent! Please do more from the Sonic R soundtrack!! It's the best and seeing all u coming together to create this makes me so happy!!!

Joel got some mad pipes. great job everyone!
The vocals are so incredibly rich. Absolute banger.
Oh boy, i can't wait to play this backwards for Tails Doll....
Awesome work.
Amazing cover!
You absolute MadLads
this arrangement is INSANE,,,, another banger added to my daily mix
Such a great track from such an undeserving game XD Brilliant work here, that vocalist is great!
