"OOF-Y GROOVES" is a track composed by Key After Key. Ingame, the track is the map theme of Rocket Arena.

Description

Oof-y Grooves originated as a high-effort joke, remixing Roblox's old death sound, "uuhhh.wav" (or the "Oof") with a funky twist. However, as the original track began to age, and Roblox's death sound got replaced, this track became an homage to classic Roblox as a whole.

At 0:48 and 1:56, the map begins to go dark, as the "electronicpingshort.wav" takes the melody, building up to the drop. When the drop hits, as the map begins to flash neon lights, the keytar takes the stage, soon to be joined by the Oofs in polyphony. This format was added to the track specifically to sync with the map, similarly to how it did with its original music, Sonic Mania - Metallic Madness Zone Act 2.

Finally, as the track is under 3 minutes, it loops at the end instead of having a conventional ending.

Trivia

• "OOF-Y GROOVES" is an older track by Key After Key which was later remastered for PHIGHTING!.
  • The older version of "OOF-Y GROOVES" was composed in 2020, making it the oldest track in PHIGHTING! Soundtrack.
  • There is also a newer, unreleased version by the name of "Oof-y Grooves Extended" which the remaster is more closely based off of. You can listen to this version here.
• Aside from the "uuhhh.wav," this track samples several other classic Roblox sounds such as: bass.wav, collide.wav, electronicpingshort.wav, clickfast.wav, Rocket whoosh 01.wav, Kid saying Ouch.wav, and sword lunge.wav.
• The original "OOF-Y GROOVES" is the piece that solidified the "keytar" as Key After Key's signature instrument, with appearances in several of his other compositions, including PHIGHTING! Soundtrack entries such as "OVERTIME?!", "THE FLIPSIDE", and "STYLISH STICKUP".
• When this track was first submitted, the developers had a debate over whether the Oofs should be kept in. After hearing what the track sounded like with the Oofs replaced, they eventually decided to keep them, as without the Oofs, the track lacked its charm.
