Animal Crossing town tunes are regularly played by the Town Hall, letting players hear the short song on a regular basis. They can be changed at any time, so players regularly come up with new tunes and take to the internet to share with others.

One song that Animal Crossing: New Horizons fans may not have considered setting for their town tune is Careless Whisper. The song, for anyone not in the know, originated in the ’80s from artist George Michael, and quickly became a hit. These days, it’s frequently used in meme pop culture, and many people recognize the sultry saxophone performance even if they don’t know the song by its title or artist.
Reddit user leviathan_xx_ went to the Animal Crossing subreddit to share their recreation of Careless Whisper. A screenshot of the song was shared, which lets players copy every note for their own purposes. The song can be used as an Animal Crossing: New Horizons town tune by speaking to Isabelle in Town Hall. Once the player has copied the notes into their game, Isabelle will confirm the sound of the song, and then set it up.
Players who haven’t set a town tune before may be interested to learn that it plays several roles. The song will be broadcast from Town Hall during events and on every hour, as well as being utilized as the jingle when opening and closing the door of a building, or it may even be hummed by villagers. Due to system limitations, it’s not possible to include the entirety of the song, but usually selecting a bridge or chorus is enough to get the point across.
Several in the comments shared their appreciation for both the song and leviathan_xx_ for sharing it with the group. Others talked about other meme-centric songs they were using, ranging from the iconic Rick Roll to Smash Mouth’s All Star to Undertale’s Megalovania. Depending on one’s musical skill, it may not be the easiest thing to construct a song in the game, but thankfully, plenty of players like leviathan_xx_ are willing to share their own creations for anyone to use.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons brings players together, and not just through multiplayer gameplay. The ease with which players can share songs, patterns, clothing designs, or even invite everyone and anyone to their island with Dream Addresses fosters appreciation and cooperation among the community. While no major content releases are planned for the game, as long as players keep coming up with ideas like these, the game’s popularity will live on.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now for Nintendo Switch.
