Geckos! is a members-only music den item.
Cover Art[]
The cover art shows a red-bodied and pale green-underbellied gecko on a hill surrounded by trees. Beams of sunlight are in the sky. Above the gecko is a quarter note and an eighth note.
Melody[]
The song's melody is based on Jacques Offenbach's "Infernal Galop" from the Orpheus in the Underworld opera. It goes at a very fast upbeat tone, and a pitched trumpet can be heard in the background in many parts in the song. A voice rapidly repeats "gecko" throughout the entire song, and in the middle, it features fun facts about geckos. The song gets progressively louder, eventually coming to a crescendo, as more and more voices (made comically high pitched) are added on.
History[]
The Geckos! was initially released on April 27, 2017, in the Diamond Shop.
