Songs Like Megalovania by Toby Fox
By Dan Cohen · Published 2026-09-05
Strip away where it came from and Megalovania measures like a film score. Dynamic range 9 out of 10 — near the maximum travel between quiet and loud that we record — at 120 BPM, intensity 60, layered, instrumental, with moderate shifts. Tagged energetic and heavy.
The match that gives the game away
Ecstasy of Gold by Ennio Morricone reads dynamic range 9 at 120 BPM with moderate shifts — the same three readings, instrumental like the seed, sharing both mood tags. A 1966 spaghetti-western cue and a 2015 boss theme are, by our instruments, the same kind of object: orchestral scale in service of a confrontation.
The rest of the band
- Somebody to Love — Queen. Intensity 60, dynamic range 9, 78 BPM. The only other 9 here.
- Open Eye Signal — Jon Hopkins. Intensity 60, dynamic range 7, 126 BPM, instrumental.
- Don’t Start Now — Dua Lipa. Intensity 60, dynamic range 8, 124 BPM — near the seed’s exact tempo.
- Creep — Radiohead. Intensity 60, dynamic range 8, 92 BPM.
- Lonely Boy — The Black Keys. Intensity 59, dynamic range 6, 168 BPM.
- Mojo Hand — Lightnin’ Hopkins. Intensity 60, dynamic range 7, 85 BPM.
Megalovania was written by Toby Fox and is best known from Undertale (2015). Figures are our own measurements, read from the public API at build time. The genre and era spread is a consequence of measuring sound rather than style — it is not a claim that these artists resemble each other in any other way. No lyrics are reproduced.
