TheCake

THECAKE, also known as TheCake, TheCake.mid, Thecake.mid, THECAKE.MID or Piece of Cake is a happy midi file that was discovered in a folder named “IA_DEMO” alongside the alternate versions of "Canyon.mid" and "Stomp.mid" by MrXnews2.

THECAKE.MID was composed in 1991 by Passport Designs, the same company who feature midi files such as Canyon.mid and Passport.mid.

The midi file is a happy and delightful song that lasts for 2 minutes, 1 second (2:01). The song plays at 102 BPM.

Sadly, since then, MrXnews2 never uploaded the midi file to Music Curios upon discovery and eventually, the website went down, along with its midi files. Luckily, Music Curios has since come back online, but no THECAKE.MID has been uploaded.

But on 5th April 2020, a Wikia user named AlifFromSamarinda25 (Alif Maharendra Sihombing) uploaded the file to MIDIs Wiki, recovering the long lost midi file.

If you listen carefully to the midi file, you can hear an out of tune piano playing alongside the drums; a common oddity that most Windows 3.0 midis have.

If all the links above are broken, these Archive.org mirror links are most likely to work. However, using right-click to download the midis results in the file becoming corrupted upon download. They can only be saved by left-clicking on them.
