Top Comments of this video!! :3
The way how Sans just goes from a calm tone and slowly to a âIâM GONNA WRECK YOUR SHITâ tone at 3:36 just gives me chills

Lemme explain some things.
1) Sans is wearing shoes because this is serious, his slippers wonât cut it anymore
2) Heâs speaking in proper capitalization because again, this is a serious fight. He canât be lazy anymore.
3) He returns to his lowercase letters once the battle is over, because heâs bleeding. Heâs dying. Whatâs the point in continuing the fight?
Anything else?

At 3:50 you can hear the words "Kill or be Killed" in the background and that makes it even more of a masterpiece than it already is

I'm sure this won't get many eyes, but I just revisited this, and man, I gotta comment.
This voice actor for Sans did absolutely phenomenal. It makes me so sad that the song was poorly received upon first release. They went against the grain, against what people were expecting, opting instead of "pretty singing" to go with something fittingly, uniquely emotive, and boy was it. This is not a pretty fight. It is brutal and desperate and enraged and wrought with grief, and the delivery of that raw emotion here is genuinely chilling in places.
It's definitely my favorite lyricized rendition of Megalovania, for that delivery alone.
(And also for the art. My god, who drew that, and can they get a raise?)
Edit: Just realized the same guy who did the voice ALSO did the art??? I don't think it's fair to hoard that much talent, honestly. /lh

you can tell at 3:00 is where sans starts to go crazy, and after the chorus, he goes absolutely MENTAL... for some reason... it sends chills down my spine.

Hi. I'm the voice actor and singer for Sans on MOTI. I wanted to say a few words in regards to this song, so if you may read this statement before you make a comment on this song, I would deeply appreciate that. For commenters who believe this is "rushed" in order to shut up the fans who were demanding and making threats about this song, it wasn't. I put a lot of time into it, far more than most of the other songs I was featured on as a singer, especially because I knew this song had high expectations. I gave it my all, just as Sans did for this fight as he was able to. For commenters who came to the conclusion that I can't sing or hold notes because the song is chaotic and the vocals jump all over the place, that isn't true either - I deliberately made the decision to put more emphasis on acting and conveying Sans' emotions in the game over simply nailing notes/pitch perfection. Octave jumps are on purpose because the battle goes all over the place, so the song goes all over the place. I sung on-key where I was just singing, but I didn't think it would be so controversial that I chose to depict anger, growling, or yelling in a song where sans is giving his all against the human in a last stand. Yes, I can choose to follow every note flawlessly to a T with no issue! But I did not - the battle of Megalovania is meant to be chaotic and overwhelming, out of left field, unexpected that a low energy lazy guy like sans is able to dish out so much. Have you guys not seen the fight? This is Sans' last stand against the human before the world is erased, and thus I believe it is an appropriate decision to express the lyrics through acting/emoting. He is not going to be calm or confident, I'm pretty sure under that smile he's thinly veiling a lot of fear and desperation. If you're not a fan of the song, that is fine and you are entitled to your opinion - as there are other covers of Megalovania elsewhere that do very well in terms of polished technical singing that you can enjoy. I just chose to do it in the context of portraying the character, which is a completely separate concept than me simply singing the song as myself. I just wanted to state that I worked hard on it and wanted to explain why I made the performance decisions I made for it - regardless. I just think it would be considerate if people thought about the song more in the context of the story and the game and why things are the way they are here. Thanks if you've given the song a chance and read this.
