Music: Becoming Popular - 1987 House Mix / Yelling At Cats - Becoming Popular


Guys, I think I found my favorite Becoming Popular mix.  Rarity with sweatbands is amazing in itself, but the song is glooorious.

We also have a new vocal rendition with more customized lyrics after! Enjoy!

1.) d.notive - Becoming Popular [1987 House Mix]
2.) The Living Tombstone Meets Yelling At Cats - Becoming Popular

"Rarity with sweatbands is amazing in itself"

Truer words were never spoken.

RavensDagger said...

#1 Does as it says. It really sounds like a house mix.

#2 Is epic despite the fact that I am not a huge fan of this tpye of music.

Matoro said...

The "Becoming Popular" song has like what? 30 remixes already? Must be a popular song to remix. :)

eksquared said...

lies! it was just a bad comment :/

Nathan said...

That first one is amazing... sounds like vintage Pet Shop Boys with a tinge of Stock Aitken Waterman. (I love my 80s music!)

Dobie said...

#1: Now THAT is how you truly Remix a song! Totally awesome, and exceedingly well done!

Travis Smith said...

I'll admit when I saw the Becoming popular 1987 mix, I derped and thought it said, " Bowling for soup 1985 mix"
I was like aww, then re read it and was like awwwww...

Oh my, now 80's Rarity is best Rarity!! More please! P.S. those are legwarmers, not sweatbands. You must have missed the 80's! Let's give her a blazer with shoulder pads and big fluffy hair.

Tombstone and d.Notive? YEEEEEEESSSSSS

Josh said...

That was just about the most beautifully 80s-like song ever.

mattwhite924 said...

I love the first one.

The 80's are the gift that just keeps on giving. I love that decade so much.

professional brony said...

Tombstone, and a rap. About how friends are the best. #2 is the best.

b4betty said...

Congratz Tombstone your Becoming Popular interpretation has taken the 10k spot on my all songs I have (aprox) playlist, now onward with moar pony music till 11k and BEYOND!!!

The Prince said...

Rarity is getting so much awesome stuff so far since Season 2 started.

Her own episodes, big parts of other episodes, amazing art, great remixes of the best songs in the show(for individual ponies).

RARITY IS BEST PONY.

quicksilver said...

I could be wrong, but I believe those are leg warmers, not sweatbands.

Mic The Microphone said...

I wonder if you guys know that if its Cats rapping, not Tomb.... Just saying.

AJTheEngineer said...

Yeah... that is definately Yelling at Cats rapping in #2.

Twiblade said...

Yay!, good memories of 80's music, excellent remix of a excellent song.

DRTJR said...

D,Notive again drops an Awesome song, it just bleeds 80's and thus Even Awesome.

Octavia said...

First was alright. It had a bit of that 80's feel to it. Definite plus for me being an 80's music fan.

Really liked the second one. As always, a total sucker for pieces with original lyrics. lol But the lyrics were good and overall it sounded great.

Kenko706 said...

Rarity in headbands my flanks. Rarity in spandex makes it.

Oh, and nice music.

Joey said...

80's Remix is best Remix. Rarity is best Pony.

Phantom240 said...

GREAT SCOTT!

So much win in these two songs. Previous to my ponymusic obsession, I was stuck on a huge 80's music binge.

And Tombstone never fails to deliver.

ZeroG said...

you know i really Like this 80s style, it just feels like its should of been an 80s pop song
good work that artist

Yelling At Cats said...

Heya guys. Yelling At Cats here. I'm glad you like my version of Tombstone's cover! It was an amazing experience working with him and I hope to do it again in the future. I haven't had that much fun with a song since the My Name Is Twilight Sparkle parody I did.

Best of wishes,

~Yelling At Cats

acksed said...

@quicksilver
No. Legwarmers were never cool. NEVER.

Plus they remind me of G2.

bestpony? AJ ;) said...

80's Rarity is best Rarity!

dmtactical said...

@Yelling At Cats

This seems like a big improvement from My Name is Twilight Sparkle. I'll be looking forward to anything you do in the future. I liked this song a lot so if you keep getting better then I'll be impressed. It wasn't just Living Tombstone either, I find your rap voice quite pleasant to listen to.

Quilton said...

1) Look...I grew up in the 80s. I had flashbacks listening to this mix. I grew up with this song. I swear it was on the radio. Really. A++

2) Just didn't do it for me, sorry.

SlowMotionKarma said...

With all the remixes it looks like Rarity's new song is... *puts on sunglasses* Becoming Popular.

Becoming Popular is my second favorite song in MLP and the 80's mix is all kinds of awesome. I think it's going to join AlexS's remixes on the top of my "most played" list.

hurristat said...

Musicians are killing it recently. This music post gets the rare download-all-the-songs treatment. Good job guys.

Yelling At Cats said...

@dmtactical Thanks man! I'll try!

Yelling At Cats said...

@dmtactical

Oh, my bad. I derped when I was trying to reply to you.

I got a lot of tricks up my sleeve - going to be finishing my Cupcakes song soon, and do some more collaborations with other bronies. If you want, just shoot me a PM via YouTube or leave a comment on my channel of what subject I should talk about in a rap and I'll gladly consider it.

I plan on doing a rap about Fallout Equestria, if that counts too.

Best of wishes,

~Yelling At Cats

Derpy for Derpy said...

lol I got beaten to the punchline there... I was going to joke about it "Becoming Popular". Hah! Well listening to the first one.... Download and Kept. Checking out the second one now.... and... well... not a keeper in my library. Very good song though. :) Props to the makers of these songs!

ultrazoid_ said...

Well Done d.notive once again an amazing song
I salute you

Wierdplatformer said...

They've hit the mark again.

Tosxychor said...

@Yelling At Cats
A rap about FOE, SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
*is heard across entire nations*

*cough* I mean, that would be a fantastic idea! I can't wait <3

Ten said...

Nice songs! Prefered #2 over #1 but both were done brilliantly :)

Hovershy said...

I think "Becoming Popular" was quite fine song, but not brilliant. I don't like rap really much.

Still #2 is amazing.

I have nothing more to say.

S008 said...

YES.
These two absolutely, totallylyly deserved an EqD post.

David said...

@Yelling At Cats
A Fallout: Equestria cover!? You MANIAC! I eagerly anticipate!

Yelling At Cats said...

@David

Huh, didn't know people would like it so much. Alright, guess it's settled! Alert the person who wrote it!
