When you're randomlly pulling up music from video games you've never heard of with hopes that you'll come across some semblance of an earworm, I was really really hoping that I would find something from Booby Boys, if only just so that I could feature a song from a game with this name; I can still be immature sometimes. Believe it or not, I really liked the music from World 1 and World 3. The music from World 1 felt too predictable, so we went with "World 3: Into the Warzone" for a couple of reasons.
First and foremost, I do actually enjoy this bouncing melody. Secondly, while I was doing research and trying to find out a more appropriate name than "BGM 03," being the name of the file, I discovered that this music plays in the third world of the game, specifically a military base or warzone-themed world. Absolutely nothing in this jovial little diddy has anything reminiscent of a military base (although I've mostly only been to air force bases in the late 80s and early 90s, so maybe the atmosphere has changed since then?) or a warzone (never attended). Although if I think of this song as being performed by a military band during a proper military parade, then I can mentally insert a drum line, piccolos, trumpets, and maybe a colony of clarinets, then you know what? Sure, this song could be appropriate for this setting.
Maybe not while one or two little rapscallians is running around setting up booby traps in the form of pits to capture/kill whatever the justification for monsters running around, but there you have it.
