If you&#8217;ve already started playing it, you&#8217;ll know that the music is <em>incredible<\/em>, and FamilyJules is the wonderfully talented man behind the guitars on the game&#8217;s soundtrack.<\/p>\n<p>FamilyJules just so happens to have a YouTube channel, and he also just so happens to know Grant Kirkhope, a British composer who worked on classic Rare N64 games like Banjo-Kazooie and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/n64\/goldeneye_007\">GoldenEye 007<\/a><\/strong>, as well as modern greats like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/mario_plus_rabbids_kingdom_battle\"><strong>Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle<\/strong><\/a>. Banjo&#8217;s Smash reveal has resulted in waves of love from fans of the series finding its way to <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/grantkirkhope\/status\/1138603827060387841\">Kirkhope&#8217;s Twitter account<\/a>, and rightly so; his music is up there with the very best in the gaming world in our opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Which brings us back to the video in question (up above). FamilyJules explains how the video came about:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The man I&#8217;m playing guitar with in this video was probably one of the most important musical influences of my life. When I was a child and all the kids in the classroom wanted to sing old mcdonald, I was the kid who wanted to sing Spiral Mountain!<\/p>\n<p>So to not only get to go to his frickin&#8217; HOUSE, but to have the privilege of getting to jam with him is absolutely out the scope of words for me. I met Grant a few years ago at PAX West, and then at Danny Baranowsky&#8217;s wedding we got to talk a whole lot and I asked him if he wanted to do a video with me. I was so excited when he said yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t watched it yet, what are you waiting for?
