PSA Mission Intro

From Club Penguin Music

The song that plays during the PSA Missions intro is an unnamed mix, from an unknown composer, though it is likely created by Friction Music. The song is a mix of Logic Pro loops.

Use[edit]

The song has only been used for one purpose in Club Penguin, playing during the mission brief screen of the PSA missions. It was first added to the game for the the 6th mission, Questions for a Crab, and was used for the newly released missions. It was added to the intro of the earlier missions at a later point.

Mix Details[edit]

The song is made from Logic Pro loops, using 4 guitar ones: "Spy Guitar Riff 01", "Spy Guitar Riff 08", "Spy Guitar Riff 10", "Spy Guitar Riff 12", as well as a drum one, "Mixed Drums and Percussion 04". The song is set at 120 BPM, and plays riffs 01, followed by riff 08 twice, riff 10 twice and finishing off with riff 12. The drum loop is playing all the way throughout, and in the final riff, a fade out is applied.

Search for Origins[edit]

The for the longest time, the exact origins of the song were not exactly known. A music from Mercury Sol's album "The Rebellion", "Her Majesty Secret Groove" was somewhat spread among the Club Penguin community due to using the guitar loops that appear in the mix from Club Penguin[1]. Since many were still only learning about Club Penguin music being stock, it was believed by a some that this song was stock as well, being sold by Mercury Sol. However, The Rebellion was an album that used samples and loops, coincidentally using the same guitars as the ones in the Club Penguin one, and not a stock song.

Because of "The Rebellion", it was theorized that the the guitars were a stock loop available somewhere. Different mixes and versions of the melody were found on RoyaltyFreeMusic.com via the web archives [2][3], which further increased the belief that the melody was sold as a stock loop.

The first mention of the origin of the theme by a staff member was due to Chris Gliddon[4]. He posted a video explaining that the guitars had been written by Dave Krysko. However, this explanation seemed to have been a mistake, since on April 24th, 2022, the song would finally be discovered to be formed from Logic Pro loops, which should predate its use on Club Penguin.
