Theme song for the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, "Speed Me Up", is out.

[Deleted member 5745]

Woulda liked Crush 40 but looks like no buttrock for the movie, it seems.

Pretty creative music video, though.

EDIT: After multiple listens...I do like the beat, but at the same it's like "this ain't it, chief".

 

[DrEvil]

Why does this song not sample Green Hill Zone?

Can they go back and re-do the song too, like they did the character model?

 

[Deleted member 51691]

Cute music video

The song is meh though

It's bad but not bad enough to reach a "so bad it's good" point. It's just bad.

 

[stinkyguy666]

Thank god there's no boomer dad-rock

 

[diakyu]

A song by rap artists for a movie that doesn't even have Knuckles searching for the master emerald in it SMFH

 

[rezn0r]

wut

 

[GJ]

Horrible, lol. Really fucking awful. Yachty is the absolute worst. This could've been alright if it was just a Wiz x Ty song, but holy shit this is bad.

 

[RochHoch]

Speed Me Up? Sounds like a roundabout way just to say Gotta Go Fast

 

[Lightjolly]

Where's Crush 40?

 

[Crono]

yea.. not a fan... of the song at all..

 

[nsilvias]

wiz khalifa in 2020?

 

[Mekanos]

It's not a Sonic song if it isn't endearingly cheesy buttrock.

man i really wish they leaned into the gotta go fast thing now lol. also sampling more of the game would have been cool.

Gotta love the use of the n-word in a promotional song for a kids movie though. Who thought this was a good idea?

 

[Iori Fuyusaka]

This was WAY better than I thought it would be.

Yeah, I thought I heard that and just assumed I misheard.

 

[Firima]

Oh no no no

You really hate to see it, bah gawd; this track is ass.

shoulda been a cover of His World

Too expensive.

 

[Suede]

It's OK. Feels too chill for a main Sonic theme.

 

[IDontBeatGames]

Lil Yachty is trash.

I thought it was great use of the terminology

Thanks, I hate it.

There's now an official Sonic song with the n-word...

Wiz Khalifa in 2020? First time I'd rather listen to Rita Ora.

 

[fontguy]

>not crush 40

 

[ThatsMyTrunks]

Not big on the song, not a fan of the sprite work.

But tickets for the movie just went up so I bought six for me, my wife, and some friends I'm going to coerce into seeing it with me.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Wow, a bad Sonic song.

 

[OG YOLOwen]

This is one of the most "team of songwriters trying too hard to make a song that will generate a shit ton of money" songs I've ever heard

 

[Baladium]

Wow, a bad Sonic song.

Believe it or not, they're rare but they DO exist...

 

[MADSUPERVILLAIN]

Everything was surprisingly tolerable except for Lil Yachty, that dude really peaked with first tape. Wasn't a good track, but it wasn't awful outside of Yachty.

 

[Callibretto]

I feel like Sonic is the kind of character who sing his own theme song, you know like Will Smith

 

[dlauv]

What is the melody a remix of? It's on the tip of my tongue.

Edit: Oh, "I Ran" by A Flock of Seagulls. Duh. I thought it was then I thought maybe not.

 

[Khanimus]

The last thing Wiz Khalifa did worth caring about in regards to videogames was smoke some weed at the EA Battlefield event.

Okay this is quite good I am very surprised.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Certainly better than the majority of the awful Sonic vocal tracks since Heroes.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Why was teal-hair guy even there?

His part was ten seconds long.

Also this is so bad compared to the ButtRock. That beat is fine at least.

 

[Anonymous Tipster]

Absolutely awful. Wow.

 

[liquidtmd]

I'm sorry, for a project of this scope and scale we needed to break out the calibre of artist it deserved from his heyday

[Melpomene]

The only things in this song that indicate in any way that this is for a Sonic movie feel incredibly tacked-on, and the song is just sort of dead, otherwise.

Count me in on the "this ain't it" train.

 

[Redeye97]

(Speed me up)

Speed me up inside!

(Can't Speed up)

Speed me up in Inside

(Save Me!!!)

 

[Sheng Long]

Seems too slow for Sonic.

When watching the movie you'll just hear this extra who looks like an anime boy quietly say "In his world"
