UNDERTALE - Spider Dance 

Also... happy 8th UNDERTALE anniversary 🥳

- so what instrument do you play? - the knife

Your Undertale covers are hands down the best true-to-original covers on RU-vid.

the way the saxophones matched with the flute was crazy and the stylophone sounded exactly like the actual song

The one we’ve been waiting for chaps, it’s almost here, be ready to clap your hands for the revival!! Happy 8th anniversary!!

Oh my god. The stylophone, the guitar pick on the harp, plucking violin strings, ...chopping walnuts??? Spider Dance has always been my favorite song on the Undertale soundtrack, and I practically squealed when I saw the "Upcoming..." on my recommended. You made the song even more fun than it already was. You did amazing, and this is absolutely my favorite Undertale cover of yours to date. Thank you so much

Seeing undertale be 9 years old makes me feel very old & I'm not even a adult yet.

🤘🙌🙌🙌 Amazing! Nice stylophone 350s!!

Just saying, the Stardew Valley soundtrack is right up his alley

*You see the undertale community active after 8 years* *…You are filled with DETERMINATION*

You're doing the fandom proud, and I know Toby Fox would love this. The execution, the energy, even the presentation. Absolutely spot on. Bravo.

-How many instruments can you play? -Yes

Using the knife was such an unforeseen but awesome move, your covers are so insane and unique! Also the cookies looked so yummm

The editing on the harp playing, making your fingers jump from string to string emulating the boss fight was amazing. 🎉🎉🎉 I also love vintage, electronic, and weird instruments so the stylophone was delightful.

The way he also moves like a spider is just so mesmerizing.

As a violinist, the way you fingered the strings at 1:10 stabbed me in the gut. But apart from that, I'm honestly blown away by the creativity of the presentation, and the way you used a knife for sound effects. The mastery over a variety of instruments is amazing! Another great banger has once again been released.

This is not just a musical masterpiece with plenty of unconventional play styles and vintage/unusual instruments, but also on a videomaking stand point, it's written perfectly and is incredibly interesting to watch and not just listen to. By far the best one from you so far!!

Three parts to my rating of this music video 1. Note synergy Nailed it, 10 points for this part. 2. Dynamics/How you play the notes You captured the bounce to the song perfectly, as well as the slight choppiness interstates within. 10 points 3. Theatrics/Editing As per usually, the editing was on point and really helped the bounciness of the song stand out with a slight bounce to your stature. The cookies also helped fit the theme of Muffet, so 10 points in that regard. This is just my personal opinion, but if someone watches your videos consistently and doesn’t enjoy listening, they are lying to themselves. All of your covers are not only amazing, but they also are unique in their own way. Keep being great, though I doubt you need someone to tell you.

Do not mess with any person who can use a knife as a musical instrument.

If you don't look at the obsessive virtuoso man in the video, you can imagine that each instrument is being played by a different spider.

You have once again blown me away! Of course, the use of the knife sharpening was a genius way of incorporating narrative elements into the percussion, but I was also impressed by the use of the pick on the harp to get that sharp staccato rather than a typical long resonant note. Maybe this is a common practice but I’ll admit I’ve never seen it before! The accuracy on the descending trills was amazing too, it’s such a fast paced song and you kept the note integrity so clean. The saxophones were also a fantastic choice, and you looked like you were having so much fun with the flute! And, of course, never underestimate the power of a well-placed triangle 😎 incredible work once again my guy!!

oh, oh I'm ADORING the ridiculous amount and specific instruments used here, the sheer ENERGY and fun i had watching this is amazing. the choppy style editing representing the specific energy one gets listening to that song. the flutes and use of the knife, everything here is delightful. love all your work but i often just binge the videos and forget the comments but ✨✨✨

I'm still amazed how this game keeps inspiring such quality content 8 years after its release. Just discovered your channel today, and I'm super impressed with the music production, arrangement, video editing, and how you theme the video to the games story. I will definitely support the spider bake sale!

The harp picking, the accelerating knife sharpening, it all makes me feel so giddy

Me: Ok, I have to study because the professor will definitely test me tomorrow. InstrumentManiac: * releases a new cover of my favorite Undertale theme * Me: * *I throw the book and immediately grab the headphones* *

Thank you for doing Spider Dance! It's always been one of my favorites from the soundtrack 😊 Thank you for making this 🕷🔪

Love this cover. The stylophone was a PERFECT addition to this treatment. Loved the addition of the knife and rasp. I can't think of an Undertale song you could go wrong with. They're all so good! All proceeds to real spiders. ;)

何で私は今までこんなに素敵な演奏家を知らなかったんだろう！チャンネル登録と高評価で日本から貴方を応援させて頂きます！！

Ahhhh I’m so happy you did this one, I loved it!!!!! 😆 And I also love that you showed the story a bit with the bake sale too!! 🥹 So happy too that the stylophone was repaired because it was a must in this cover, it sounded amazing! 😁🙌🏻 So happy you’re still doing Undertale covers after so long as well! 🥰 I’d love to hear Heartache, Finale, Hopes and Dreams/ SAVE the World, An Ending, Here We Are, Undertale and Reunited! 💗

Wow, awesome cover! Spider Dance is totally one of my favorites from Undertale. Your editing is also getting really, really good lately. The stylophone was really neat and looked bigger and fancier than most stylophones I've seen (including the one I have). Nice job as always :)

Normal cookies go stale after 7 months. THIS VIDEO’ COOKIES LAST FOREVER.

As you walk by the webs you hear the harp playing and the drums drumming the spiders surround you you have no option but to do the Spider Dance

0:50 you look EXACTLY like an animated video game character in a cutscene

Oh boy, I absolutely love Spider Dance, and you really knocked it out of the park this time! The knife and the stylophone were awesome. I actually got bit on the nose by a spider last night and I wake up to this, the irony!

This’ll be what plays at the spider wedding you’re forced to attend as you’re bound by spider webs

Spider queen used all the money that we didn’t give her to hire a top notch one man band.

IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!!! This is my favorite undertale song!

damn, the harpist is absolutely going IN

This reminds me of those little Jazz Concerts on Tatooine in StarWars

My favorite one!!✨️💜

I love the knives used as percussion! It works so well, and honestly doesn't even feel like a gimmick, but a successful instrument.

Killer: "The sound of sharpening a butcher knife is music to my ears" Instrument Maniac: "Same for me!"

you play so good that it automatically reminded me of the fight and me dying like 100 times.

Love this one a lot, possibly your best Undertale cover yet. This video was a treat for the eyes as much as the ears, I love your video editing style and the little references you put in. Also all the instruments you used is amazing, I hope I'll be able to use a knife as well as you someday. But the wide array of instruments you use is really cool. The part where the music all picks up at the mid-point and the end is really amazing, it's can only be described as beautiful. Hope you do CORE soon (am I asking too much?)

Bro, how do you surpass yourself in each cover? Congratulations on your effort, I can't imagine how much work it is to edit a video like this

The playing is so impressive but the editing brings it together so nicely! Such a professional video

I love the woodwind sections chorus onwards, especially at 1:38! Reminds me of the BBC's orchestra.

i cannot wait to listen to this, you always make fire remixes

Holy Moly!!! This will be a masterpiece as always 😊😊

He is just too amazing at music and editing each parts

I literally know nothing about Undertale but damn, this song slaps

i just saw it, im very excited! all your covers are masterpieces, im sure i will also love this one

I didn't think you would do spider dance, after the collaboration. We won!

Truly is a missed opportunity for all instruments in Spider Dance to be string instruments.

I love how he uses the knife to represent genocide and the actual music

I’ve been waiting for this ever since that collab with Joe Porter! thank you for finally making this!

OH GOD FINALLY!! They don't know how long I waited for this.❤

i can listen to this all day

The ways he looks at the camera after every phase is just perfecto

サムネみて音を想像する…うむ。さいっこいだなこりゃ。 いやぁ８周年に相応しいですな！ 楽しみにしてます！！！！！😍

​this is my favorite song from undertale, i cant wait to hear your cover

Toby fox in 2015: since im writing my music on a computer i have the freedom to write parts too fast for humans to play Humans years later:

просто прекрасно. отличный кавер, готов его переслушивать до бесконечности!!!!!!!!!

The stylophone and knife-sharpening have to be the most creative choices you've made so far! Time to loop this for 8 hours~ Thank you so much as always, Luke ❤

Блестяще! Очень чистое и красивое исполнение прекрасной мелодии! Успехов Вам!

Bro is such a perfect musician that he plays in an ensemble only with himself.

This is one of my favs so happy you got up to playing it. The stylophone added such a knife touch ❤❤❤

💜🕷💜🕸💜🕷💜 Also, the tags are almost as brilliant as the cover itself! Wonderful as always

This is absolutely amazing, Muffet has always held a place in my heart as my favorite boss (which is weird considering I don't like spiders) so I'm glad you did this one, also Hopes and Dreams should definitely be one you do

one of my personal favorites in a bit of a maniacal way, awesome remix. Makes me feel like committing crime :3

That stare paired with the "I know you hate spiders" is kinda funny.

Já estamos esperando. Feliz 8° aniversário da undertale .👏👏👏❤️❤️

Wonder if we'll get version exclusive songs, like the song that plays during the mad mew mew fight or the song in the dog gambling room.

I just accept the fact that they look like they are looking at the knife dude and playing a bit louder because they are scared

* sniff * beautiful. Truly beautiful WITH KNIVES TO BOOT

Omg this was so much better than I was expecting and I was expecting HIGH!!! This is so good and the BEST remix I’ve heard of this song!! Loved it so much and fantastic work as always!!

Amazing cover! Also, am I the only one who thinks that he’d be epic at Scarlet Forest?

Harp with a plectrum! Heinous heathenry, I say! I love it.

As a percussionist, I can neither confirm nor deny that there is a knife in our instrument cabinets.

YOU DID NOT HAVE TO GO THIS HARD BUT IM GLAD YOU DID OMG 🔥💃🕺🕷️

very excited to see it when it comes out!

This is the best version of this song by far

You can tell its Undertale music cuz it has that special kick to it Also bcuz of title . HAPPY 8TH ANNIVERSARY UNDERTALEEEEE

Я ТАК ЭТО ДОЛГО ЖДАЛ!!! СПАСИБО БОЛЬШОЕ @InstrumentManiac ЗА ЧУДЕСНЕЙШУЮ МУЗЫКУ И КОМПОЗИЦИЮ!!!❤️❤️❤️

Not only is the arrangement absolutely fantastic, the video is such high quality and fun to watch as well! Bravo!

This is my favorite track in Undertale… I didn’t think it could get any better, but I’ve listened to your cover like 10 times and keep coming back to it because it’s such a banger! I think I like your cover more than the original!

I am absolutely in love, it gets so groovy at a moment where I literally can't stand still

Do you know what?…. This songs feels like im going to be *DETERMINED*

This 100000000000% of my list for top 5 favorite Undertale covers. An absolute masterpiece! 12/10

Это прекрасно!😍 Жду Megalovania :D

he got buff guys we should officially be afraid of his power to play over 90 instruments, AND be buff!!

the knife was too clean for this music

Luke, this is incredible! I have been watching and silently admiring your videos for quite a while now, ever since I saw your cover of "Snowy" in my recommended (then I watched all of your Thomas covers!) I love your extremely innovative and well-thought arrangements and all the dedication that you put in both the music and the video. Your cover of "Battle Against A True Hero" was, I can say with confidence, the greatest Undertale cover I've ever heard (and I've heard many!) and this one was super fun aswell. This is in no way a song request, but if you like this type of soundtracks then I *highly* recommend listening to songs from rhythm games such as the Deemo soundtrack, or some of the more classical tracks from Arcaea such as "Paradise"... I feel like you would love those.

Spider Dance is one of my fave songs from Undertale, and the fact that you nailed everything in it made me smile and dance in my seat until the very end! Even using a kitchen knife as an instrument was hilariously impressive work. I'm so glad that I got to hear this, deffo going on my favourites list on spotify.

that ending... i love your stuff so much

The strings of music fills the room. You’re filled with determination.

0:57 yes, yes I do.

Damm, this cover was great, I can't wait for the next one, I love the vibe it gives to the stylophone, I loved it. And I'd love to hear your version of Megalovania, I'd love it.

I don't know what's better, this cover, or these delicious spider cookies

“Hey man what’s your favorite instrument to play?” **hones knife**
