Quotes

SRL Musicology Dept. back with a huge scoop! You're listening to "Paintscraper," the latest offering from C-Side. Musically, they've welded a shiny rainbow melody to a thrash-metal skeleton and added all kinds of chrome spikes. Turn up the volume and shake the whole house!

This version has different instrumentation and features Walter's higher-pitched vocals. In tweets from Baker included in the booklet that comes with Splatune 3, he states that this demo was the original version of the song and says that it is "very silly and ridiculous, but it has a unique charm to it".
