YouTube's copyright claim system is atrocious. Copyright holders pretty much get away with anything and there's essentially no limits. It's a huge shame and just hurts all content creators as a whole. Sorry to hear you're dealing with this, hopefully ONE day they can fix this problem.

Youtube is really shitty sometimes, your animations rock and i think its unfair for them to be taken down over a very minor copyright claim each time

Also heard that these two guys, LatinAutoPerf and Warner Chappell Music have copyright claimed an ai version of JShlatt singing Aria Math and claimed that it was the Protostar Remix. Be on the lookout!

If it gets reclaimed again maybe you could try to make a fuss about it on Twitter

Damn YouTube hates me :( I’m sorry Mike, I’m surprised that YouTube didn’t take the original video down because I used the music while making the audio you animated.

I feel like i said this before but i think if it does get taken down again, you make a community post or on a video on your channel that links the original video on a Google Drive so that people can still access the original video without it getting deleted

The first "Patrick I Swear to God" video remained up since early May (4 months), until it had a frivolous claim filed against it for minor background music in a brief segment of the video. For revenue purposes, I had to reupload the video with the claimed portion fixed.
But as you may have guessed from that reupload no longer being publicly available, they filed yet another manual claim for background music, this one being even more frivolous. The claimed music is barely audible. I figured I could get away with a tiny amount of Spongebob production music (given that this is a Spongebob parody, naturally) but apparently simply removing the music from the original claimed portion doesn't prevent the holders from later filing another claim for a different portion.
So the video is gone (unlisted). Those with it in your watch history may eventually see that all of the audio from the claimed portions are gone, in an attempt to "fix" the claim and preserve the remaining revenue for myself.
There is currently another "Patrick I Swear to God". It is unlisted while under review for monetization (which inexplicably took several days for the previous two versions, and now yet again). I meticulously edited the audio in the spectrogram so as to abolish any trace of music I could find. At this point it is so incredibly faint that now I have the excuse that it's practically not even there. If this video gets claimed - and I will let everybody know if it does - it will be a severe indictment on the exploitability of Copyright law and on YouTube's spinelessness that they would acquiesce to it. Nobody will be safe.
But what is possibly even more egregious than the frivolity of the holders is the fact that YouTube, for whatever reason that nobody is able to explain, prevents use of their "erase song without erasing original audio" feature for manually claimed audio, which would have solved all of this had I even access to it from the start.
In the event the newest version gets claimed, there will really be nothing more I can do. I neither want to irritate my audience with a fourth upload of the same video, nor (out of principle) give legitimacy to the potential claim by doing even more audio fixes. I may simply reinstate the original upload, which is currently private, with shared revenue.
