Can I do this? Hold on [Laughing]
Hey Best Pal-y, I'm Ali
And you may remember me from such things as, screwing up songs
TikTok has brought us a new bop. "Old Town Road", you may have heard it.... everywhere
And Billy Ray Cyrus is on the song
But is he the best Cyrus to be doing that song? I don't know
So today I'll be turning "Old Town Road" into a Miley Cyrus, twerking era, banger
I'm sorry
So we're gonna borrow from that.
Most heavily from "We Can't Stop", 'cause it's her biggest hit.
Let's hear it.
♫ ♫ ♫ ["We Can't Stop"] It's our party, we can ♫ ♫ ♫
Ok
Need a really low voice
[Clears throat] Ahem,  let's see if I can do this
♪ I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
My god, I'm white
But hold please
𝄞 I'm gonna take my horse to the old town... ♪
Hah... let's just put a pitch shifter on here
[Pitch shifted down] 𝄢 I'm gonna ride, til I can't no more ♪
Ohhhhh! [Laughs]
And now I'm an urban male...
Errr... this is an appropriation party
Miley got in trouble for twerking, and then this song got cancelled from being country
And now I'm just gonna... put my white chick all over it?
Honestly, everything about what I'm doing is a cultural mess. Please don't get mad at me
[Pitch shifted up] I'm gonna take my horse ♪
Should I do chipmunks?
Miley actually uses that dude voice, which... I'm pretty sure is her
Multiple times here. It's also in SMS
♫ ♫ ♫ ["SMS"] ♫ ♫ ♫
This one is so good, argh!
♫ ♫ ♫ ["SMS"] ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ["SMS"] ♫ ♫ ♫
Ok, we're using those drums. Absolutely
This is going to be perfect to "entwerkify" this song
Ok, this is gonna be a lot of drums
Let's just "git 'er done" all at once shall we
♫ [Bass Voice] I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road ♫
 
♫ [Drumming] ♫
♫ [Bass Voice] I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more ♫
 
♫ [Drumming] ♫
♫ [Drumming] ♫
Sick
 
♫ [Drumming] ♫
♫ [Drumming] ♫
Splendid
Time for some instruments
What is this song?
♫ [Piano Melody] ♫
Apparently the dog doesn't like this song
Uhhh, I'm missing like a key instrument for this
Crap, ok
Quick stop at the, ah, instrument store
Ok, now I can make this song
First melodic thing we need is synth!
She has synth in like, all of this album
Dirty, crunchy, pulsing, layered synth
I take you back to "We Can't Stop"
♫ ♫ ♫ ["We Can't Stop"] We can't stop♫ ♫ ♫
Hear it?
♫ ♫ ♫ ["We Can't Stop"] And we...♫ ♫ ♫
All through the bar, Zzzzzzzzzzz
And then there's kinda pulsing over it too
Zz Zz Zz Zz Zz Zz
♫ ♫ ♫ ["We Can't Stop"] Won't stop ♫ ♫ ♫
I got this
Let me just find the right bass
♫ [Bass beats] ♫
Nope
♫ [Bass beats] ♫
♫ [Bass beat experimentation] ♫
Ahh, not it yet
♫ [Bass beat experimentation] ♫
Oh god
♫ [Bass beat experimentation] ♫
♫ [Bass beat experimentation] ♫
Should I turn something Skrillex next?
Ok, I think I got it
♫ [Deep bass beats] ♫
Now we need the pulse-y thing
♫ [Pulse-y thing] ♫
Ok, let's hear it altogether
♫ [Outrageous beats] ♫
Yessssss!
♫ [Outrageous beats] ♫
♫ [Outrageous beats] ♫
Mmmm!
♫ [Outrageous beats] ♫
♫ [Outrageous beats] ♫
That was the part of the video where you're like "That doesn't sound like Old Town Road"
I know, just hold on. It's coming
And you're also saying, "Why does that hat look weirdly like a pirate and not a cowboy?"
I don't know
Is that better? Yeah!
Yeeeaaaah!
Now I gotta arrange all this
In "Old Town Road", it's just like the same, pretty much the whole time
Like... like if you're just on a horse
On the prairie
It doesn't really have levels
Which is good. It works for that song
So in contrast to that
It's a really short song. One minute and fifty three seconds
But I'm gonna try to cram in
As many arrangement changes and breakdowns from Miley Cyrus' "Bangerz" as possible
Start with the intro. I've already got my low voice
And "Drive " has a killer intro. Hold on, listen
♫ ♫ ♫ ["Drive"] ♫ ♫ ♫
Yes
♫ ♫ ♫ ["Drive"] ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ["Drive"] ♫ ♫ ♫
We definitely gotta open with that feel
It's just like... filtered
And grungy sounding. I need a kick
♫ [Grungy kicks] ♫
Ohhhh, found a kick that's just... aggressive
♫ [Grungy kicks] ♫
Oh yeah!
♫ [Grungy kicks] ♫
♫ [Grungy kicks] ♫
Like
The song is coming
♫ [Grungy kicks] ♫
It's not just a kick
♫ [Grungy kicks] ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ["Drive"] ♫ ♫ ♫
It's got like a delay after it
♫ ♫ ♫ ["Drive"] ♫ ♫ ♫
Like a galloping kick
De dede de [Laughs]
Gonna put a delay on it
One and a two
Ba da, mm, ba da
♫ [Gallop-y grungy kicks] ♫
Yeaaaah!
♫ [Gallop-y grungy kicks] ♫
Now the snare
♫ [Snare beats] ♫
Well that's not the right snare
Or is it?!
Got an amp on it
♫ [Amped Snare Beats] ♫
And then we wanna EQ, so we're just grabbing
♫ [Amped Snare Beats] ♫
The nastiest section of the wave form
Delay
♫ [Nasty Snare Beats] ♫
Put it in a giant room!
♪ [Echo-y Nasty Snare Beat] ♪
Ha ha! That's the snare
And let's hear it
♫ ♫ ♫ [Outrageous Intro] ♫ ♫ ♫
But I wanna use something from a different song
"Love Money Party"
♫ ♫ ♫ ["Love Money Party"] ♫ ♫ ♫
Ohh!
That opening synth line is just...
We need that!
[Laugh] Yes, I'm close
♫ [Synth Melody] ♫
But... now they're straight notes, and I want...
A glide
♫ [Synth gliiiiiIIIIiiiidddDDDDE] ♫
Ok, I've took too much molly
♫ [Gliding Synth Meoldy] ♫
There we go
♫ [Gliding Synth Melody] ♫
Now let's make it "Old Town Road"
♫ ♫ ♫ [Gliding Synth Old Town Road] ♫ ♫ ♫
Ok
I gotttt intro, chorus verse
And now... the next thing is this pre-chorus
I want to change it completely
I wasn't gonna do...
"Wrecking Ball"
Because it's so... It's not twerky
But it's like so big from this album
We should use it
The key to "Wrecking Ball"
Is drama!
And... licking hammers
♫ ♫ ♫ ["Wrecking Ball"] I came in like a wrecking ball! I never... ♫ ♫ ♫
Argghhoohhh
Ok, the...  [Laughs]  the down beat
Is a giant, earth shattery kick
And then 2, is a snare
And that's it. That's all ya got
That's all ya need!
Never has One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
Meant so much! There's no way I could come near that
But we'll just... we'll just reference it
First I need my earth shattery kick
♫ [Kicks] ♫
That's not shattering earth
♫ [Kicks] ♫
♪ [Earth Shattery Kick] ♪
That is
♫ [Earth Shattery Kicks] ♫
It's coming
I don't know what, but it feels like something's coming
Now we need a forever snare
♪ [Forever Snare] ♪
♪ [Forever Snare] ♪
It just keeps going
♪ [Forever Snare] ♪
Let's put 'em together
♪ [Earth Shattery Kick] ♪
♪ [Forever Snare] ♪
♪ [Earth Shattery Kick] ♪
♪ [Forever Snare] ♪
♪ [Earth Shattery Kick] ♪
And we're done. We have "Wrecking Ball"
You'll see
I think
The next section we have to completely change is...
Another pre-chorus
I'm gonna make this really different. What would Miley do?
♫ ♫ ♫ ["Old Town Road"] ♫ ♫ ♫
It's actually right before her dad comes in
The Mullet Himself
Oh My God!
[Laughing]
What if I mashed up "Achy Breaky Heart" in this spot?
Can I do this? Hold on
[Laughing]
Where are you Billy?
Oh my god
 
♫ ♫ ♫ ["Achy Breaky Heart"] Don't tell my heart ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ["Achy Breaky Heart"] My achy breaky heart ♫ ♫ ♫
Also.. what is this look?
I mean, I knew he had a mullet, but... that is epic!
Ok, [Laughing] hold on
[Laughing] Ohhh, we're definitely doing this
♫ ♫ ♫ [Piano Melody] ♫ ♫ ♫
 
♫ ♫ ♫ ["Achy Breaky Heart"] Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart ♫ ♫ ♫
Been trying to add too many chords in my arrangement
He... it's two!
It's two chords. And they're good
They're catchy
♫ ♫ ♫ Don't tell my heart ♫ ♫ ♫
 
♫ [Catchy chord] ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ My achy breaky heart ♫ ♫ ♫
Same chord
♫ ♫ ♫ Just don't think you under... ♫ ♫ ♫
 
♫ [Catchy chord] ♫
Then we change
♫ [Second catchy chord] ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ Stand ♫ ♫ ♫
 
♫ [Second catchy chord] ♫
Oh... yeah
Hold on!
♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ To the old town road. I'm gonna... ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ Ride, til I can't no more ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart [Laughing] ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ [Laughing] I just don't think he'd understand ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫
Ok, yup, yup, yup [Laughing]
Also, you are awesome for being here and watching... this
You're gonna be in the know when I do this later
And everybody who skipped ahead to just see how the video turned out
Is gonna get Billy Ray-ed in the face!
Ok, moving on, back into the chorus
Bridge
We gotta make it completely different
What does Miley do on her bridge?
♫ ♫ ♫ ["It's Our Party"] Yeah-eh It's our party, we can do what we want to ♫ ♫ ♫
Oh, almost nothing
♫ ♫ ♫ ["It's Our Party"] It's our house ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ["It's Our Party"] We can love who we want to♫ ♫ ♫
Except shouting
♫ ♫ ♫ ["It's Our Party"] ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ["It's Our Party"] It's our song we can sing if we♫ ♫ ♫
Want to!
♫ ♫ ♫ ["It's Our Party"] Want to ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ["It's Our Party"] It's my m... ♫ ♫ ♫
Well I gotta shout for that
And it's gonna be some "yee haws"
Yee haw! YEE haw! Yee HAW!
Let's see how this turned out
♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ Hat down, cross town, livin' like a... ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ "Yee haw!" ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫
Ok
♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫  "Yee Haw!" ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫
It... leaves something to be desired
I am not enough people
Ok let's
Hello, yes, I need your help
Can you come... be shouty
And that is how you literally call for back up...
Singers
I found some awesome friends to come help with the gang vocals
While they're on their way
It's altogether. The last thing I have left, is just to figure out is how I'm going to execute these vocals
Miley's got a fast vibrato, and I kinda do too
So I'm gonna lean into that
And also we're the same demographic, so good
This should be pretty easy. She's also got a really raspy voice
And... luckily I haven't slept
I was brainstorming and working on this video all last night
Because the last one blew up. I had to get this one out for you
Perfect! I'm gonna sound more like Miley
Plus some extra maneuvers I did earlier to wear out my voice
♫ ♫ ♫  [Shouty] I came in like a wrecking ball! ♫ ♫ ♫
She also does sing with a twang, [Drawls] but didn't on "Bangerz"
[Drawls] This song just like, forces it on you
Oooh, maybe I'll end up in Michigan, I don't know
Rod and Vince to the rescue!
Vince: Yo!
Rod: We're doing country music
Ali: Wait, you actually are southern right?
Rod: Mid west, kind of
Vince: And I have one southern aunt, and that's it
Ali: So we have a white girl, doing a hip hop song
Ali: That was also country and
Ali: A Korean "Yee haw"
Fat Chihuahua: Yipp!
Rod: And a puppy
Vince: And a southern dog
Ali: What do you think of my fur room
Rod: I can hear my thoughts
Ali: It's my "furr-idor"
RKVC: [Laughs]
Ali: I got a laugh at that one
Rod: "Furr-idor", that's a good one
Ali: [Laughs]
Rod: There's also furry doors, there's like three ways it works
Vince: Ahhhh
Ali: Yeah!
Ali: Levels!
Ali: Speaking of levels, let's get this going
Ali: You gonna "yee haw" with us?
Vince: "Yeah"
Ali: What?? Oh that was you
All: [Laughs]
All: Yee HAW!!
Vince: Yee haw!
Ali+Rod: Yee haw!
All: [Laughing]
All: Yee HAW!!
All: Yee HAW!!
All: [Laughing]
Ali: I think we got it
Rod: Trying to channel my inner Central Indiana
Time to nail this music video
Vocals in the fur room. I feel like Miley would want something completely different
You know... like... pink fur!
[Snaps]
Eh?
It's good... enough
♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫  Yeah, I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road ♫ ♫ ♫
