Trivia[]
- Smaller Cap = Less Plastic (Andrew Wang), The Wanderer (June Lalonde), On The Radio/Waltz of the Flowers (NMR Digital), Childhood Memories of Winter (Rickvanman), Mei's Theme (Demipixel), Trailer (AShamaluevMusic), Nobody But You (The Apples in Stereo) and Nature's Majesty (xxSniperK2xx) are the only soundtracks in BFDI that aren't composed by Michael Huang, Cepukka, coal bones, or Kevin Macleod.
- All of them have only played once in BFDI as well.
- Except "Nobody But You," Which plays in Getting Teardrop to Talk when Book adds Teardrop to and Return of the Rocket Ship when Woody comes up with salt and vinegar to get out of the pit.
- NMR Digital, Rickvanman, and AShamaluevMusic aren't credited in their respective episode where their soundtrack played. However, Tchaikovsky is credited in BFB 16's description, even though NMR Digital is the one that composed the cover of Waltz of the Flowers.
- All of them have only played once in BFDI as well.
- "Aces High", which plays on "Get in the Van" when the recommended characters are shown, is also the intro theme of Inanimate Insanity.
- Summer Leaves is the only soundtrack that changed its name. Previously, it was called Late Night Chilling.
- It also appears to be one of the only soundtracks that doesn't have a public soundtrack without a bot repeating "Premiumbeat.com". Currently, the only way to get the soundtrack without the robot voice is by licensing it.
- Cary Huang has composed music before in "I Can Make a Difference!" which are: "Happy Chords Opening", "Water Fountain" and "One Plus One...Hard".
- Widge is called "Widge (WIJTTEFET)" in the files because of the filename possibly originally being named after Woody's Incredible Journey to the Escape from Eternal Terror. After a while, Michael changed the filename to Widge but kept WIJTTEFET as a nickname.[1]
New Friendly[]
"New Friendly" is a song composed by Kevin MacLeod first released on May 20th, 2009, and was first used in "Take the Plunge: Part 1". It is an uplifting electronic synth piece that has become rather iconic with the BFDI community due to it being the very first song played in the show.
Description[]
According to Incompetech, the official description for New Friendly is "The piece starts out nice, and then becomes a modulating monster about a minute in. It resolves to the initial key, and continues on. Lots of building! Very round-sounding."[2]
