This song is a combined effort between members of the /r/starcraft community and myself. It is a remix to "Handlebars" by Flobots. I hope you all enjoy it, as it was really fun to do, and I think the final product came out pretty well!
Huge thanks to AndyOniyate for approaching me with the idea and contributing lyrics, ZeMoose and MisterSkibbles for providing lyrics as well and a few others from the original reddit thread for making it all possible ALSO to Situationalbest for starting the subthread with "I can stutterstep with no metronome...."
If you enjoy the songs I do, I encourage you to subscribe to my Youtube channel to know when I post new ones! I try to stay in touch with my supporters as well, so don't be afraid to get at me!
Look at me, look at me Hand on my mouse like it's good to be ALIVE and I don’t fear the reaper even when the map is all mountain-y I can show you how to roast a drone I can show you how to climb the ladders I can make a heart with lonely probe And I can almost get from plat to masters I know how to plot up sturdy plan I can tell you about at least 30 LANs I know all the words to When Im GM And I'm proud to say Im a nerdy man Me and my friend saw a flaming bush Me and my friend made a timing push And guess whose points we took I can play any race that I want cuz, look
I can stutter step with no metronome No metronome No metronome
I can see your base even when I’m home Even when I’m home Even when I’m home
Look at me Look at me Just called to say that it's good to be ALIVE on such a small map I’m all turtled up and immune to cheese I can save money open up with six thors I can make a living off of an ad and stream I can design an army, just with 4 bro-festors for your mass marines I can make new Protoss Robotics I can make a Brood Lord provide chaotic conditions I know how run from Vikings And I can turn your whole mind psychotic Mutas, Stalkers, Cattlebruisers Me and my team making random units I see your lings that patrol in the distance I can push anywhere with no resistance
But I can lose the game if I overdrone If I overdrone If I overdrone
And I can make it splash in your spawning pool In your spawning pool In your spawning pool
Look at me Look at me Rising and I won’t stop And it feels so good to be Surviving this drop My creep is global Xel’Nagas secured My army is mobile Your crying ignored
I can send out a million hallucinations And make him tap out from his lack of patience Laugh as his army’s evaporating And make him flip tables from aggravation I can warp anywhere from my prism Just if you don’t snipe it And I can beat every single composition I’m taking over when I expand
Cuz I can guide a nuke by minimap By minimap By minimap
And I can bust your main with a nydus worm with a nydus worm with a nydus worm
I CAN end us all with a mother ship With a mothership With a mothership With a mothership With a mothership With a mothership With a mothershiiiiiip!

Someone else posted that it was subtle BM haha, but I put Sjow, Axslav, and Goody at the end because they are successful players known for playing with lower-than-average overall APM. No BM intended, but it was a random idea that flew into my head, and I felt it fit closely with the lyrics lol.
Another great song! Well done to your and all the reddit folks who pitched in. Already listened to it several times and it will get several more plays!
I'll admit, that was pretty well done. Still, I wish people would graduate from changing the lyrics of songs already written and actually write their own songs, though I admit that would be significantly harder to do.
I was gonna say that words can't describe how awesome your songs are Temp0, but if there's someone who could come up with the words for it it would be YOU. Write a song about how awesome you are buddy, you deserve it.
Hey good job man, love this song made a SC2 version a few months back myself, posted lyrics but found no takers to help with it. If anyone were to beat me to the punch, knew i'd be you, bastard. Just jealous here, don't sweat.

Thanks everyone ! Also, tossuaway, I'm sorry about that! The same thing would have happened with this one if AndyOniyate hadn't tweeted to me about the reddit thread lol.
Thanks Tempo, you definitely are the man, boss manners. Actually got to meet you at NASL finals. We were sitting all the way on the right side and day9 gave you a shout out, I turned around (blonde guy with a girl… those are rare at these things I've heard)and said I hate how much your Grandmaster song gets stuck in my head. It was supposed to be a complement but it may not have come out that way. Again great great job!!! Your a grandmaster SC2 song writer!!! lol
Fucking brilliant. Love the day 9 dance during the bridge. Nice scoop of idra raging I was really worried you were gunna trash one of my fav tunes. Happily surprised definetly adding it to my gamer fluff playlist along side "headshot" by Z1 Gotta love fps doug lol "my hearts beaten my hands are shaking but i still keep playing I still keep shooting! Its like BOOM ! Headshot! "
OMG...I can't believe that I missed this until now. Handlebars is one of the best written songs in the last 10 years and you do it wonderfully. Now I don't know if I like this or When I'm Grandmaster better. Keep it up brother.

When does the entire album come out? I am buying!
Speaking of When I'm Grandmaster... just noticed this today.
At 2:37 The raging guy is named Evershock? Suspiciously familiar...
Oh yeah ;D
Hahaha!
EDIT: Found this, too, from someone else!
EDIT 2: Just found these, too, from his TL.net account!
