I Wanna Take You for a Ride *FULL SONG!* from Marvel vs Capcom 2 - ft. Lawrence (The 8-Bit Big Band)

IT'S MAHVEL BABY!! Finally we know what the rest of the song is!

So excited to finally drop this video of "I Wanna Take You for a Ride" aka the character select screen from Marvel vs Capcom 2. This track is based on the original 8 second loop that plays from that game, but expanded with additional music and lyrics as if it were a FULL SONG. I loved listening to the original loop so much that I couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if the iconic vocal loop would be if it were the chorus of a full length song, so I asked my dear friends from the band Lawrence to come in an help me co-compose the rest of the imaginary tune, and this is the incredible result!

Clyde Lawrence, who wrote the lyrics, did an amazing job incorporating some great references to the MvC2 game and community itself!!

I also couldn't help myself as an arranger but draw countless funky easter eggs from one of the greatest horn bands of all time "Tower of Power" see how many you can catch!!

Today's Nintendo Direct made me want to listen to this again.

[uniquenote]

Nice, thank you! from original composer Tetsuya Shibata.

[Eldast]

BROTHER, SISTERS, THE TIME HAS COME YET ONCE AGAIN!
IS TIME TO TAKE THAT RIDE AND ENJOY EVERY SINGLE MOMENT OF IT! LET'S

[enemychaser]

This feels like a "end credits" for the Vs series and a celebration of not only Marvel 2, but also this whole franchise and it's impact on so many people, including myself.
Congratulations, you guys almost made a grown man cry

[Ryusuta]

Who's here after the big announcement today? WE ARE SO BACK, BABY!!!

See you guys on Steam this year!

[rkonTheAutomator]

Oh my god that "put on my sunday best and call me war machine" line was FIRE. If you don't know, when war machine does his proton cannon, during startup he goes "here's my Sunday's best! Proton cannon!!"

[thesupersandguy]

Who’s here because a Nintendo direct? 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

[OpticSkies]

I was not expecting the male vocalist looking like this I gotta be honest 😂

[gishigoshi]

That white boy got some soul to him goddamn

[canaldigplay]

Who came here 'cause the MVC collection announced at the last Nintendo Direct?

[Medleypon]

They took an 8 SECOND LOOP and made it *BANG HARDER* than it somehow already did.


I am begging you to do "This is True Love We're Making" from Capcom vs. SNK 2.

[WRILLIM]

The lyrics sound like a declaration of love from a couple who happen to be fighting game fans that first met each other at an arcade station playing MVC2.

[PKSparkxxDH]

The male singer not being black is the biggest shock of this video. That man has SOUL.

[RockerOfsss]

Listening to this is victory! The announcement of Marvel Vs Capcom Fighting Collection makes MAHVEL alive again!

[kinoleogeo]

@2:12 I know my father’s (RIP) favorite band anywhere and that horn rift is straight outta Oakland’s own Tower of Power.
Also, thanks Max for being this to my attention! MVC IS BACK BAYBEE!!!

[jojoplatinum]

I'm bumping this hard now that Marvel is Back!

[shiobutamusic]

Lawrence and 8-Bit Big Band is literally my dream collab!!! This is a wish come true!!!

[Reldin]

This needs to be the menu music for the mvc collection!

[MrSkerpentine]

I love that I legitimately thought these were the actual official lyrics to an unknown extended version of the song until the MAHVEL BAYBEE references in the second verse lmao

[cashordeals]

Who's here after that 🔥 Nintendo direct
