SiIvaGunner


SiIvaGunner is a musical parody YouTube group. The channel is based mostly around bait-and-switch videos claiming to be "high-quality rips" of video game soundtracks that are in reality remixes or parodies, and mashups, usually incorporating Internet memes.

Format

The SiIvaGunner channel uploads videos in the style of many other soundtrack-based YouTube channels; the channel's videos are typically static images, usually of the relevant game's logo, with a piece of music playing over it. Such videos are intentionally misleading as to trick the viewer into believing they are actual songs from a game's soundtrack. The uploaded songs, however, are instead remixes and mashups, often incorporating internet memes or other channel-specific running gags, such as the intro theme to The Flintstones, 7 Grand Dad, The Nutshack, Love Live!'s "Snow Halation", and LazyTown's "We Are Number One".

Popularity

As of May 27, 2020, the channel has 20 videos that reach over a million views.
In late 2019, a new art gallery called Gallery Aferro featured an exhibit titled “Elevator Music 6: SiIvaGunner,” curated by Juno Zago. An auditory exhibit, it was a collection of SiIvaGunner remixes of classic and new video game music played inside an early-1900s refurbished Otis Elevator.
