Things that these two composers have in common:
- Both are named Daniel.
- Both used this sample.

OH MY GOD FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE NOTICED THE CONNECTION I THOUGHT I'VE BEEN LOSING MY MIND ALL THESE YEARS

[SmileTOBY]

Lbp has to be one of the most astounding games of all time

[dizzykitteh]

As a neurodivergent kid, littlebigplanet and minecraft were my biggest reoccurring hyperfixations growing up. Having that same music sample in both games meant the world to little me. I could constantly be reminded of my other favorite game whenever I heard the tune.

[uselessaccount]

Also Stal uses the Mellotron - the first ever sampler
Pretty sure I can hear one of the settings on Chirp as well

[VVenm]

Chirp always had LBP vibes to me, but I thought it was just my memory mixing with nostalgia and playing tricks on me, until now.

one of the largest bands of the 90s, blur, also sampled an optigan preset, they used it for their album "13" in 1999

[jamierootwo]

Gotta love the optigan, those old 70’s samples, so fun! I believe it’s the first sampler, besides the Talentmaker and orchestron

i played a little big planet game (LBP2) for the first time just the other day, and hearing that sample really tripped me out. crazy how this got reccomended to me so soon after playing and thinking "damn that sounds like chirp".

[BlueNinjaNRG]

As a kid I would call chirp the little big planet disc.

[ThatBuckskin-Frank]

As someone who played LBP before I started Minecraft, I honestly thought that I was the only one that thought they sounded similar, then forgot about it when I started playing less games. I want to thank you so much for making this video, it answered that question that I forgot I even had! Thank you!

[MCernieq]

it creeps me out because reminds me of just a burning memory

[mentally_meow]

I remember instantly recognizing it as a kid. Feels nice to know where the sample is from

[currypenguin]

Two of the most GOATED games. Both built my childhood

[OiCCaboose]

I started playing Minecraft in BETA 1.3 and remember it so fondly. This CD, of course, didn't exist back then.
I love that this game has created memories for different generations.

[marclaventure]

This is why chirp has always been my favourite disc, it brings me nostalgia not only from playing minecraft, but also from when i was much younger playing LBP with my brother

[MGMorgan]

This is a great video!

Also, a little note from a music theory nerd: I think another little big factor is the frequent use of the minor iv chord in the song, which invokes a feeling of nostalgia and bittersweetness.

[thelibyanplzcomeback]

I played LBP1 first and when I first heard Chirp, I got super confused, lol.

[kimmie]

I personally was really into LBP before minecraft became pretty much a part of my life, but when I did, popping in Chirp into the juke box instantly had me freaking out as a kid thinking Mojang was actually referencing LBP

[HulluHapua]

I was so bewildered by the coincidence that I once recreated the pod from LittleBigPlanet in Minecraft. And I was surprised about the origin of the sample, it all goes back to a sampler from the 70's.
