Hey TL! This is SanchoPanda bringing you an SC2 parody song that spoofs the ever popular Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye feat. Kimbra. If you haven't seen that youtube video, be sure to watch it before this one:
LYRICS:
VERSE 1 - [Higher Level 2v2 Player] Now and then I think of when we used to ladder You were happy just to play but I had to win You never sent me any minerals And you never let me share control Now all those losses are an ache I still remember
VERSE 2 You can get addicted to a certain kind of opening Like fast teching to BC’s, always BC’s So when the enemy would charge your base I wouldn’t help you and you’d start to rage And I’ll admit that I was glad you got rolled over
CHORUS But you didn’t have to blow me off Acting like it never happened and the games were nothing Well I don’t even need your help Cus you play like a noobie and those game were rough I wish we hadn’t placed so low All my friends looked at our record and they laughed about it But now I’m back in diamond yo Now you’re just somebody that I used to troll
VERSE 3 - [Lower League Player] When we played I really thought you’d be my lucky clover Till you started saying it was my fault that we never won Well now I’ve looked at each replay You were always staring at my base You’d tell me what build I should go But your workers would be idle though you said you had top three control
Backstory - the idea for this came while watching Mr. Bitter and Rotterdam AND Frodan and Gretorp play 2v2 ladder games to fill in time during their broadcasts. In both, one player was clearly better and had no problem telling the viewers about this or blaming the loss on their partner. In fact, Frodan actually asked to share control with Gretorp and Gretorp said no. LOL
Thanks to: My sister and Cbiscuitx (Okeydokes on TL) for helping with female vocals
Playdoh, who's really WAY better than me irl at SC2, for helping me with ladder game footage. Yes we really did play bronze.
Relish, an NA GM terran and good friend, who lost tons of games with me when we tried to place diamond (for the song), but got into Master's then lost 20 games straight, then got demoted to plat!?!?! HAHA. All those straight losses in the vid are REAL
Programs Used: FREEWARE musescore - music composition software (can put sheet music into midi files, pretty cool) GIMP - photo editing software (not as user friendly as photoshop, but way more free)
EXPENSIVEWARE AnimeStudio - a basic animation software, used for camera pans, drawing of lines, and mouth animation Camista Studio - screen capture and film editing/producing software Magix Music Maker - Track laying, mixing, FX... not very easy to use or as helpful as I wish it was, but there you go
And as always, THANKS TL, for a great site to share all our fun on <3
EDIT: Thanks to Chilly for posting the vid on Reddit.
Lyrics dont really make sense, the narrator was the one that was trying hard to win an the 2nd person is the one that was trolling so when you say "now youre just someone i used to troll" doesnt make sense. Just my 2 cents.
Well that's 3 parody's in one day lol. Smix's inspired me to start one today but I guess I'm going to have to release it in a week when it doesn't feel like I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Nonetheless, good parody it was almost the song that I chose but found it a bit too difficult to write lyrics too.

Go ahead and jump on that bandwagon. More parodies = more fun!!! <3
I actually had no idea other ppl were going to post parodies today. In fact I didn't even see them when posting this one. I think that's pretty cool actually
That was really funny, it took me awhile to realize what the panda and the other thing was than I was like wait a minute....Playdoh PANDA OH MY GOD mind = blown!

Frodan, you are a master wordsmith! Thanks for the kind words.
This is actually so, so good. Lyrics in particular are brilliant.
Just a note, it's disconcerting that the girl's voice is faded completely to one side. Too late now but for future reference, I don't think that's a good idea.
Wonderful, amazing song. Having been in that kind of 2v2 relationship myself.. and the fond memories I have of it regardless.. you nailed every bit of it.

I KNOW! T_T I looked over my whole setup and couldn't find out why her voice was only left input, or how to fix it. Then I just gave up and posted it hoping no one would notice.
You have bested me, my friend. Well played
So, since you have such good ears, did you hear the riffs of sc1 songs that I sprinkled in? No one has mentioned it yet... (one from each race)

Awww... well if it makes you feel better, the girl who sang and the guy named playdoh who plays sc2 are two different people. Also, while playing the games, playdoh and I were on skype, and we were cracking up the whole time we made that footage on ladder. He's hilarious. The BC harass game just killed me.
It is awesome, can really relate to it (went through same thing top master 2v2 random ally, always put with plats vs 2 top masters :/). Not many 2v2 songs out there, <3, This is gonna get at least 20 views from me alone, 74th parody on my SC2 songs playlist :D.
Well, looks like my threads bout to run it's course! Thanks for all the awesome positive feedback. SC2 community, you are amazing! So glad i could bring you a few laughs.
More parodies and other stuff on the way. Pls subscribe to my youtube or twitter.
