As mentioned above, the music was originally created to scare the living '''daylights''' out of people (albeit as a joke), and the flashing lights added to that. It is quite effective in that regard, though some will find it funny for that reason. The slowed down version might help a little bit, but not by much since the flashing is still pretty fast, and the difference is not even that noticeable anyways. This is also a logo that is definitely '''not''' suitable for epileptic audiences. | ||
