with Dave, Lono, and Rothbart
With all of the Halo 3 Hype that's ramping up, we knew we couldn't let this record-breaking franchise get away unscathed. Here's "The Halo 3 Hype Hoedown", delivering 3 minutes of foot stompin', spoon clackin' funny for fanboys and skeptics alike.
If you feel like rousin' up yer kin to throw down some sangin', try our singalong version! (coming Monday) You might even win a might-perty-prize.

Frawlz 09-14-2007, 09:13 AM hmmm.. that song made me want to make out with my sister.
yeee haawwww!
Hotcooler 09-14-2007, 09:22 AM Great song!
Yousty 09-14-2007, 09:59 AM Pure genius, Doc, pure genius. I laughed my ass off at the whole thing.
Great song!
The vid isn't playing for everyone. I am switching back to youtube. This will take a few minutes. my apologies everyone.
Lono_Lives 09-14-2007, 11:16 AM hmmm.. that song made me want to make out with my sister.
yeee haawwww!
then I guess we've done our job!!! Nice crooning Dee Oh Cee!!!
Hotshot Scott 09-14-2007, 11:22 AM lol that was great...nice work.
VinDali 09-14-2007, 11:45 AM BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!! That was fantastic. Loved the song and loved the video.
Griffin999 09-14-2007, 12:58 PM this rocks *memorizes song* not..enough *watches 500 more times*
this rocks *memorizes song* not..enough *watches 500 more times*
Thanks! Now get the mp3 with the missing third verse and finish it yourself! I wanna hear you guys make up your own last verse!
mashedPenguin 09-14-2007, 01:26 PM Haha! Nice guys, that was great. Now I have both it and bad game stuck in my head... You bastards!
I don't know if I am up for doing my own last verse though. I get the feeling that the amount of mocking my "New Zealander that has been in Canada for 2 years" accent would bring would be too much of a blow.
shadowtech 09-14-2007, 02:00 PM Loved it.
I really liked how it pays tribute to Halo while at the same time making fun of the game's ridiculousness.
Griffin999 09-14-2007, 02:17 PM Thanks! Now get the mp3 with the missing third verse and finish it yourself! I wanna hear you guys make up your own last verse!
i don't sing

Lono_Lives 09-14-2007, 02:36 PM The video is on xbox360fanboy.com and thebbps.com yay!
Yousty 09-14-2007, 03:04 PM The video is on xbox360fanboy.com and thebbps.com yay!
I posted it on my xanga blog too, which gets like millions of visits each day.
I like to think it does anyway.:p
VinDali 09-14-2007, 03:06 PM I posted it on my Game Battles page and posted a quick blog on GB that it was there.
Ploogle 09-14-2007, 03:45 PM Okay, I just had to do this. Download the full song without the extra singalong verse **** -SOrry Ploogle, don't want that version out there just yet.---Doc
The editing started with "How You Killed Your Brand." I just don't like to listen to songs with even a little bit of swearing in them, so now the song plays "now you're getting kicked by the Wii." :P
Great job, guys!
regua 09-14-2007, 03:57 PM Another great song from SG. Keep 'em coming, guys!

Hey, your I-don't-like-swearing behaviour seems quite strange to me. I'd understand it (and agree with it) if the song played "now you're getting your ass kicked by the f*ckers from Nintendo", but it's just "ass"! "Ass"! "Ass"! We live in the 21st century! Every movie nowadays has to contain at least 30 uses of the word "****" and 15 of "bitch", and you can't stand one "ass"? Oh.
iHomer 09-14-2007, 04:00 PM Definately the best song to date :D
rothbart 09-14-2007, 04:27 PM It's on joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com/2007/09/14/halo-3-hype-hoedown-satire-song/) now, their RSS feed as well. :D
Somehow the trail of comments derailed into a discussion about Gordon Freeman versus Morgan Freeman pretty quickly. Everyone seems a "Go!" for the Jack Thompson beating though.
Ploogle 09-14-2007, 05:06 PM Actually, I don't like movies with a lot of swearing in them either.
I can't sing worth jack, but I wrote the ending.
Edit: Here's the song + lyrics: Song (http://h1.ripway.com/ploogle/HaloHoedown_plooglesing.mp3)
The French won't be so stuck up aujourd'hui.
When the third game with Master Chief's released.
All the geeks will get more coffee
All the sadists will be jolly
When Bungee finally gives us Halo 3.
All the troops will come back from overseas
And the whole world will smell of potpourii
Folks will plant a tree on Earth Day
All the games won't be so cliche
When Bungee finally gives us Halo 3.
No more waiting at the DMV
No more bad calls by a referee
No more time to do our schoolwork
All the fanboys will go berserk
Everything's gonna be all right
Once they finally finish the fight
When Bungee finally gives us Halo 3.
Brianemone 09-14-2007, 05:07 PM I loved the bit about curing world hunger.
Ploogle 09-14-2007, 06:03 PM -SOrry Ploogle, don't want that version out there just yet.---Doc
If you say so, Doc...
rothbart 09-14-2007, 06:11 PM I just don't like to listen to songs with even a little bit of swearing in them
I recommend buying a couple Ludacris CDs and listening to them non-stop for a couple days and then you'll realize that cussing doesn't necessarily ruin good music. Especially with such "great" lyrics as:
"Who the **** you talkin' to? Not me. Couldn't be me. Naw, not me..."
or
Move b****, get out the way. Get out the way b****, get out the "way!"
Chexd 09-14-2007, 06:44 PM The editing started with "How You Killed Your Brand." I just don't like to listen to songs with even a little bit of swearing in them, so now the song plays "now you're getting kicked by the Wii." :P
Since when has Donkey (ass) been a swear word lol
"Now your getting your donkey kicked by the wii"
poor eeyore :(
http://disney.go.com/characters/pooh/images/meet/eeyore/ph_bi_eeyore_thumb.gif
Joking aside i do agree that in some songs swearing is used just to pad the song out.
anyways great song! i have been listening to it ever since! its ever so tempting to download "she'll be coming round the mountain"
I better not or else I will be bullied :(
another great job! made me laugh! (and have a love for the tune :S)
Ala Douche 09-14-2007, 06:45 PM a hint of sarcasm rothbart?

keith22 09-14-2007, 07:33 PM one of the best nice song
Bauer22 09-14-2007, 08:36 PM If you could get the kickassness of Jack Bauer and the wittiness of.... Someone witty and put it in a song you would get this.
Great song! But this thing better be solving cancer if people are going to pay 130 bucks for this!
Duffman X18 09-14-2007, 09:40 PM XD Hilarious.
Bauer22 09-14-2007, 10:17 PM Hey guys the video got mentioned in the Bungie Weekly Update! That means even more hits and more members! Yea.
V3NOM 09-15-2007, 12:28 AM Congrats on getting mentioned in the weekly update at Bungie. A really funny video, tributes the game while still making fun of the hype around it.
But I guess I'm just as hyped as the next guy... 10 more days!
Tiannam 09-15-2007, 02:04 AM Congratulations on making it on the homepage of Bungie.net and halo.bungie.org. My two life goals you have accomplished in just a short couple of hours.
Lono_Lives 09-15-2007, 03:13 AM 55,000 views on Youtube. Holy. *****. ****. It's been 16 hours....
shadowtech 09-15-2007, 05:46 AM Will it make 1,000,000 views?
That is the question.
HalfEvilHomer 09-15-2007, 07:02 AM What a great song, love all of your songs you do, they just get better and better, Well done!!:)
Chexd 09-15-2007, 08:47 AM yayy! you got the Bungie Weekly update!
well done guys :D!!
Darman 09-15-2007, 09:07 AM Awesome job guys, definitely one of my favorites so far.
Congrats on making the Bungie Weekly Update!
Thanks for confirming my hopes that Halo 3 will be the best thing since the invention of..... well...... ANYTHING!

... Wow. And they thought the labor thing was bad.
CharlieBlix 09-15-2007, 01:48 PM Great job guys... you really do know how to make people laugh... I mean Lono doesnt even have to say anything and people crack up.
Glad to be a part of this fun site.
Later.
Tiannam 09-15-2007, 04:03 PM Do I see a record deal with Microsoft coming along?!?!?
Beowulf 09-15-2007, 10:06 PM I am waiting until this is shown on Attack of the Show.
And knowing G4 they will butcher the crap out of it.
Ah well, it's free advertising for the site.
Lono_Lives 09-16-2007, 03:25 AM 200,000 views on youtube. 25 honors.... out of control...
SupaSlick 09-16-2007, 01:30 PM Yeah - I was surprised it didn't make it on AOTS on friday. It always annoys me when they cut things off. However, if they promoted it correctly, it would drive more people to the site.
Lono_Lives 09-16-2007, 02:28 PM There's still hope for g4 yet guys....
Ploogle 09-16-2007, 03:09 PM Wow. Am I the only one that's entered? That must mean that I'm the best singer out of all the entries! O_____O
When's the deadline for the contest?
Lono_Lives 09-16-2007, 04:06 PM What contest?
regua 09-16-2007, 04:21 PM Lono,
If you feel like rousin' up yer kin to throw down some sangin', try our singalong version! (coming Monday) You might even win a might-perty-prize.
I guess Doc was just joking. I'm pretty sure about it. Besides, no-one has really entered the competition; writing the lyrics isn't enough, it's "singalong" not "writealong".
Ploogle 09-16-2007, 06:45 PM Hey! I sang!
...
...not very well, I'll admit, but hey!
Tiannam 09-16-2007, 10:52 PM 200,000 views on youtube. 25 honors.... out of control...
How do you get honors? (Nevermind, found out)
(By the way, could you make the 'Second Life' video a response on the video)
Beowulf 09-16-2007, 11:26 PM I hope it doesnt go on G4 to be honest.
They have a way of butchering everything on there. Hell, they even butchered themselves (G4-TechTV merger).
Oh well, like I said, free advertising for the site.
regua 09-17-2007, 10:25 AM Hey! I sang!
Oh yeah. Sorry. I guess you've edited the post, I could swear there were only the lyrics a few days ago.
I hope it doesnt go on G4 to be honest.
Yeah, but who cares about what G4 thinks, seriously? :P People will come to the site to see it even if G4 says it totally sucks and the videos are crap. At least I hope so.
VinDali 09-17-2007, 01:33 PM Why do you bust on Wesley Crusher Doc?
What did the smartest teen in Starfleet ever do to you???
LMAO :D

LMAO :D
Actually I would've laughed harder had I not attended PAX and experienced a new found appreciation for him. He delivered an EXCELLENT keynote and took us on a great trip down the memory lane of a gamer...
Haven't read his blog though, it could be crap for all I know. I'm SURE he put a ton more effort into his keynote speech than a daily/weekly blog entry.
Mikey 09-17-2007, 09:37 PM Ok, so here is the first part of my own verse:
Oh Lono will find a bride to be
Doc will actually perform a surgery
Oh Rothbart will dig himself a hole
And cover himself in tarter sauce
When Bungie finally gives us Halo 3
Im trying to come up with more, but its just not clicking.
BBQCereal 09-17-2007, 09:47 PM I wrote my ending too. What do I do with it?
SWSilentkiller 09-17-2007, 10:07 PM oh god this game is truly overhyped whats next? a halo 3 nintendo Wii? god forbid that ever happen. I know some people that are missing school on the day it comes out just to get it and play it I however don't own a 360 so I won't be playing Halo 3 anytime soon
Mikey 09-17-2007, 10:38 PM Ok here it is, sorry if its not perfect,
Oh Lono will find a bride to be
Doc will actually perform a surgery
Oh Rothbart will dig himself a hole
And cover himself in tarter sauce
When Bungie finally gives us Halo 3.
Sarcastic Gamer will no longer be
The internet will be free of sleaze
Captain finally gets a job
And Volkov runs away and hides
When Bungie finally gives us Halo 3
Lono will divorce again you see
Doc will hit a major artery
Rothbart will get smothered
And Captain will get fired
When Bunige finally gives us Halo 3
Volkov runs to china
Gets lead poison then dies
When Bungie finally gives us Halo 3
Hope you like and I hope I win a prize!
Ploogle 09-17-2007, 10:51 PM Ummm...Mikey? Most of those lines don't rhyme, and they don't fit the tune...

Ya don't say... tarter sauce? Is that like tartar sauce? :D
Mikey 09-17-2007, 11:14 PM Poogle, yes it does fit tune. I checked it serveral time.
Rothbart, I have no idea what u mean. I didnt claim my spelling was the best if thats what u are talking about.
***Only part that doesnt work is very end***
Beowulf 09-18-2007, 12:47 AM Me and my friend came up with a brilliant idea today.
We will go to the Halo 3 midnight release at our local EB Games. I will dress as Ratchet, my friend as Clank. We will both hold a sign that reads: "Sony loves you, Halo fanboys".
(and of course we will both be wearing bullet proof vests to shield us from the fanboys' attacks on us.
Mikey 09-18-2007, 07:03 AM Hmm, im not angry. Although I am a but mad because I forgot to add u to song, oh well

They better stand 5.56 and 7.62 rounds... fanboys are known for carrying assault rifles with them.
You might also consider a helmet... they got bats.
And... a crotch protection... I'm not gonna explain that one.
CaptainDDL 09-18-2007, 09:11 AM Captain finally gets a job

Congrats guys!

Mikey 09-18-2007, 07:07 PM you know, I havent a clue. Its the first thing that poped in my head
Mikey 09-18-2007, 07:56 PM After rechecking, I have found a total of 4 lines that dont work :[

Lono_Lives 09-18-2007, 08:07 PM Aren't lyrics supposed to rhyme? I don't know...
Mikey 09-18-2007, 08:13 PM ok ok, I get it. It sucks. But it only took me 30 minutes to do. You cant expect more. I never claimed to be a genuis song writer. And I know it was probably a bad idea to say bad things about yall (although I meant no offence by it, not even to you lono) but it was just made for fun.
rothbart 09-18-2007, 08:41 PM I have several unrecorded parodies... writing (with rhyming) is fairly easy... now if I could only convince someone to record one (or get drunk enough myself to do it) we'd be in business. For the record, I hate singing... or at least having attention drawn to my singing. :eek:

It's all good mikey, obviously, one of the things the guys on here like to do is rib each other.... so whaddda expect??? lol :)
Ganon255 09-19-2007, 04:04 AM I just wanted to say I am a big fan Doc. Keep up the great work. I play all your songs to all my gaming friends, and my girlfriend loves you.
Anyway here are my lyrics:
When Halo 3 comes out this fall
You'll have to chose between that or watchin' football
But it'll be Halo that you beatin'
And the Patriots will stop cheatin'
When Bungie finally gives us Halo 3
If the servers crash like they did in the beta
That would really make me a Microsoft hate-a
That would suck like Kakuto Chojin
I'd say "What the ****?" to Major Nelson
When Bungie finally gives us Halo 3
Beowulf 09-20-2007, 12:10 AM Nice. I like that one.
Roth, care to share any of yours?
rothbart 09-20-2007, 01:20 PM Nice. I like that one.
Roth, care to share any of yours?
Here are a few (http://www.gamercastnetwork.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4785) that I did back when Doc wrote Ring of Fire (as challenge by me). Follow the link for a better formatted version including the original songs' lyrics (if we had the [table] bbCode enabled in the forums here, I'd post them that way too... hint, hint...)
I've done others and have at least three I can think of right off hand that haven't been posted anywhere yet... maybe someone will sing them someday...
Next Generation (to the tune of The Who's My Generation)
People always put it d-down (don't think Wii's next generation)
Just because you flail around (don't think Wii's next generation)
Some games do look awful d-d-dumb (don't think Wii's next generation)
Wii-itis makes you go numb (don't think Wii's next generation)
This ain't next generation
This ain't next generation, baby
Why won't it just f-fade away (don't think Wii's next generation)
And let us play our HD g-g-games (don't think Wii's next generation)
I'm not trying to cause a big s-s-sensation (don't think Wii's next generation)
I'm just welcoming next g-g-g-generation (don't think Wii's next generation)
This ain't next generation
This ain't next generation, baby
Friend codes just won't f-fade away (don't think Wii's next generation)
Nintendo won't d-dig what we all s-s-say (don't think Wii's next generation)
I'm not trying to cause a b-big s-s-sensation (don't think Wii's next generation)
I'm just welcoming next g-g-generation (don't think Wii's next generation)
This ain't next generation
This ain't next generation, baby
Claims you can't put it d-down (don't think Wii's next generation)
After Wii Sports you'll s-s-start to frown (don't think Wii's next generation)
The coming months look awfully b-b-bleak (don't think Wii's next generation)
Yeah, I haven't played my Wii in weeks (don't think Wii's next generation)
This ain't next generation
This ain't next generation, baby
Flashing Red (to the tune of The Rolling Stone's Paint It Black)
I see a red ring and I want it turned back green
No red ring anymore I want it to be green
I hear the Xbox 360 revving its fans
I have to turn the volume high as I can stand
I see a flashing red ring and I want it green
With quiet fans, cool to the touch, know what I mean?
I see people post their horror stories up online
Like all of them I guess I get to go post mine
I even wrapped my 360 inside a towel
I turn it on to see the red ring flashing now
Maybe when I call they'll send me back a new Elite
If they'd do something for my trouble that would be sweet
But when they answer I don't hear the words I want
Their tone so condescending almost like a taunt
I figure if I get riled up they'll see my point
But as I plead my case they just disappoint
I see a red ring and I want it turned back green
No red ring anymore I want it to be green
I hear the Xbox 360 revving its fans
I have to turn the volume high as I can stand
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
Don't wanna see it flashing, flashing red
Red as fire, red as blood
I wanna see the ring steady green all the time
Don't wanna see it flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing red
Yeah!
Red Ring of Death (to the tune of Prince's Little Red Corvette)
I guess I should'a known
By the way you sounded like a jet
That you wouldn't last
See you're the kinda product
That's goal is only profit
Build 'em and ship 'em fast
I guess I must be dumb
cause I had a bookshelf full of good games
Some new and some of them used
But it was Saturday night
My friends were waitin' online
And I said what have I got to lose?
And that's when I saw the...
Red Ring of Death
Watching it as it flashed
Red Ring of Death
I need a console that's gonna last
I guess I should'a closed my eyes
When I logged into your site
At least it was free
Cause I felt a little ill
When I saw the forum posts
Of the people that had called before me
Believe it or not
I started to worry
I wondered if I had enough class
But it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it all right
And I said "Now Habib, just listen to me!"
I've seen the..
Red Ring of Death
Watching it as it flashed
Red Ring of Death
I need a console that's gonna last
A console like yours (a console like yours)

Yousty 09-20-2007, 01:35 PM Wow, those are all really good. When is Doc gonna make them?;)
I couldn't help but notice there wasn't one ripping on Sony.
rothbart 09-20-2007, 01:50 PM Wow, those are all really good. When is Doc gonna make them?;)
Thanks. Razz Doc about it, he claims he can't "do" Prince... but I never really heard back on the rest...
I couldn't help but notice there wasn't one ripping on Sony.
My personal favorite parody was a Sony-critical song... In my opinion it was (going to be) the best Sony-critical song (http://www.gamercastnetwork.com/forums/showthread.php?p=67370)... The jabs were objective, the melody was followed extremely closely (it flows very well), the lyrics had a LOT of thought behind them...
Unfortunately it didn't get finished before it became irrelevant... I had trouble finding instrumental music to record it and lost motivation to finish the few remaining lyrics I needed to be done with it (the lettered lines indicate rhyming that was needed to match the original... btw, that song clocks in at like 8 minutes or something crazy).
Keep in mind it was from March of this year... pre-Kutaragi being gone, pre-Home announcement, pre-Most of the cool things that've been done post-launch:
Please Don't Let the PS3 Die (to the tune of American Pie)
A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How Playstation used to make me smile.
I'd stay up late to have a chance
To play each level and advance
And, maybe, I'd be happy for a while.
But lately Sony's made me shiver,
Unsure PS3 will deliver
True next-generation gaming
Who should I be blaming?
I can't remember the first lie
Was it E3 footage, 2005?
The rootkits or those laptops fried?
What if their console died?
Oh why, why Kutaragi-san, why?
Did you design the PS3 and
then release it to die.
Where are the great games, that you expect us to buy
Sony please don't let the PS3 die.
Just like you've let the PSP die...
Oh Ken, did you write the business plan
Or were you just their idea man
Cause, Ken, I think they, need some more
Your system has impressive specs
But will you release some damn games for it next?
Sony, please, pick yourself up, off the floor.
Well I know your downfall, story's long
You've done so many things so wrong.
You've been the laughing stock of gaming news,
When all you had to do was tell us the truth!
You lost a lawsuit that cost you rumble
Your executives messages were such a jumble
Your lousy game selection has made us grumble
What if, Playstation died?
I started singin'
Why, why, David Karraker, why?
Did you say those stupid things,
And ban that Kotaku guy.
You're the head of Sony's PR and that's what you would try?
Sony, please don't let the PS3 die.
Just like you've let the PSP die.
Now for ten years you've been number one
And you've brought so many people fun
But you can't count on that for too long.
When the PS2 broke on the scene
Like the PS3 devs cursed the machine
and that's why we have this song.
And while last-gen was winding down
Microsoft sought to steal the crown
The first to do HD
It was the 360
And while Sony planned the PS3
Microsoft catered to you and me
And now we've even got the Wii
Don't let Playstation die.
We're all singing,
Why, why Mr. Harrison why
Are exclusives leaving PS3
Except from you guys?
Are first party games enough to ensure a new customer buys?
Oh Sony, please don't let the PS3 die
Just like you've let the PSP die

You've had years to come up with your answer to Xbox Live
Sony please don't let the PS3 die,
Just like you've let the PSP die.

PS3's we could find?
And at $1200 bucks each were you out of your mind?
Sony please don't let the PS3 die,
And you might think of replacing this guy.
And I'm singing,
Why, why, Sony corporate why?
Do you hire people that don't know
their ass from the sky?
The PS3 has promise but get rid of these guys.
Sony, please don't let the PS3 die.

Lono_Lives 09-20-2007, 03:29 PM Haha funny, im just a human being im not perfect unlike UR's !!!!!!!!
everyone is fair game dude. We're just messing with you.
kengy 09-20-2007, 03:30 PM haha i know, ^_^.... bye, till next time gotta go 2 bed
rothbart 09-20-2007, 03:33 PM Lono's right, we're just playing... and I'm far from perfect. Last time I went to take a dump at Doc's house, I missed the toilet! Actually, don't tell him, but I missed the entire bathroom!
His wife said I'm not welcome back, but it was an honest mistake.
Yousty 09-20-2007, 04:00 PM From looking at Kengy's lyrics and his going to bed at 3:30pm ET, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that he's not an American, or even living in an English speaking country so I'm going to refrain from making fun of him.
As for the PS3 lyrics from Rothbart: what you had was actually really good. You probably should have thought it through a little more though when you picked to use American Pie.:p You could have just cut out a couple verses to shorten it up a bit and I guarantee you would have had a hit.
Staker W Def 09-20-2007, 04:10 PM I love it I seen it like 2000000 times!

Say "Fat foo toes top wearin baby tees" without laughing... I dare ya! :D
Yousty 09-20-2007, 04:27 PM Say "Fat foo toes top wearin baby tees" without laughing... I dare ya! :D
Hahaha, damn you, I seriously tried and couldn't. It's just too funny.
CaptainDDL 09-20-2007, 04:51 PM I did it, rothbart. =)
LordLegion 09-20-2007, 05:00 PM It's all true damnit. Every word cause the chief is that badass.
j/k lol
Ploogle 09-20-2007, 05:07 PM I said it. I'll upload a sound recording if you want. :P

Oh no, she can't WAIT to see you again.
Beowulf 09-20-2007, 06:55 PM As for the whole "Sony loves you, fanboys" plan, I can't do it :(
I'm leaving out of town on that day.

yourshadow 10-20-2007, 05:44 PM Good video. I have two questions: Do they still inbread in West Virginia? Is Dave there?
rothbart 10-20-2007, 07:50 PM I forgot to mention that Chatterbox Video Game Radio (http://www.chatterboxgameshow.com/) use the Halo 3 Hype Howdown as the intro music in their 190th episode (http://ripple.radiotail.com/1007/Show190_09-18-2007.mp3) (I should also mention this is a "real" radio show in Phoenix, AZ.) Unfortunately, they talked over part of the song, but not loud enough to clearly understand, it just made both the song and talking blur together.

A Rabid Moose 09-13-2008, 06:47 AM I saw this video on youtube, and decided to join the site. Look where I am now.
DoomHammer 09-13-2008, 09:18 AM all of SGs parodies are awesome in my opinion the halo 3 hoe down is genius
Incase you didn't know, this video was featured in the October issue of OXM UK, just to give you a heads up ;)
Zingo 11-08-2008, 06:18 PM This is probably my favorite SG parody song. Not because it's friggin' hilarious, which it is. And not because it's so well made, which it is. I love it because this is the first thing from Sarcastic Gamer I ever saw. I watched it on youtube, then went to the SG channel and watched more. I decided to come to the site and saw it had a podcast. I downloaded every episode and laughed with every one. I became an instant fan and made an account, and I am so glad I am able to be a part of this growing community.
GammaFist 02-04-2009, 01:43 PM Very creative and fun guys good work.
Bblaze95 07-29-2009, 03:25 PM This is how i found out about SG

bigdad1962 08-24-2009, 12:35 AM i love this song and everyone i know loves this song. the How you killed your brand is funny as hell to!
fyremakyer 08-25-2009, 05:31 PM My favourite parody song
LaxWarrior 09-05-2009, 09:08 PM It is amazing and a classic and to bad there is no ODST one
