GMMore 2351: We Write Our Own Fight Song

♪ Welcome, welcome, welcome to Good Mythical More ♪ ♪ This is where we write a theme song for ourself ♪ ♪ Welcome, welcome, welcome to Good Mythical More ♪ ♪ This is where we write a theme song for ourselves ♪ Woo! A fight song. Can we write a fight song? You have a theme song. We have a theme song. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. We write a fight song. We’re gonna write a fight song, which is totally different. But first we’re going to explore a random disturbing fact. Okay, disturb me. The Romans used human urine imported from Portugal as a mouthwash. True. Portuguese urine. Why did it have to be from Portugal? Have you ever had urine from Portugal? No. Don’t knock it till you try. Imported bottled urine became so popular that the Emperor Nero taxed the trade. The ammonia in urine was thought to disinfect mouths and whiten teeth. And urine remained a popular mouthwash ingredient. We talked about this a long time ago on the show. I’d forgotten that. I blocked it out. Until the 18th, in the 18th century. Wow. 18th century. Who knew? Now you know. Well, listen, man, as I scratch my shoulder because it itches. Let’s listen to, we’ve got a couple of references, just to kind of put ourselves in fight song, you know- Writing mode. Fight song mind. So local school, University of Southern California, here’s their fight song. Fight on for ol’ SC, our men fight onto victory. Our alma mater dear looks up to you. Fight on and win for ol’ SC. Fight on to victory. Fight on. Okay, cut it. So there’s fight, we have fights is said one, two, three, four, five, in five lines. I guess they thought that a fight song meant that you had to say fight. So we’re gonna say fight a lot too in ours. Ol’ GMM. I kinda like ol’ GMM. Yep. Because it is old. We’re old. It’s been around forever. Okay. What else you got? I got the Notre Dame fight song. Okay. This is long. I’m not gonna listen to it. ♪ Rally sons of Notre Dame ♪ ♪ Sing her glory and sound her fame ♪ ♪ Raise her Gold and Blue ♪ ♪ And cheer with voices true ♪ ♪ Rah, rah, for Notre Dame ♪ ♪ We will fight in every game ♪ ♪ Strong of heart and true to her name ♪ ♪ We will never forget her and will cheer her ever ♪ Okay, enough. Kill it. Mainly because that’s just acapella singing and it absolutely makes me- You’re allergic to it. It just enrages me. What is it with the people? I mean, it’s like everybody’s singing normal and then there’s the one guy who’s like Like his mouth gets so big. Well, ’cause all he’s doing is singing. I mean, when you’re the instrument, you gotta really own it, man. I know that you’re probably taught to do that, but like, I don’t like to watch that. Oh. It’s kinda like watching shows where there’s like chewing sounds all the time. Yeah, we don’t like that. Oh, you know, I need to have some of my Steph’s Secret Stuff so I can embody his shooting ability. ♪ Drink it all if you want it ♪ What exactly is that? Because I can taste that- Well. there’s Red Bull in there. Where’s his ball? Yeah, and I was told that you’ve been- I got a ball. drinking it this whole time- I got a ball. of your own accord. Yeah, yeah. ‘Cause it’s like- I got a ball. a little bit spicy and a little bit sweet. So you like it? No, but I wanna sip on it some more. It’s Dr. Pepper, Red Bull, and just a dollop of barbecue sauce. Dollop of barbecue sauce. Hey oh! Wow. That was good. That’s a fade away. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s a fade away. Does Steph Curry, does he say “hey yo” when he shoots? I mean, probably in his mind. Hey oh! Yeah, yeah. Hey yo, I’m shooting. That’s what I used to say. All right. Okay. You have a third example here. Ooh, Wisconsin. Speaking of Wisconsin. Okay. This is the University of Wisconsin fight song. The Badgers. ♪ On Wisconsin, On Wisconsin ♪ ♪ Plunge right through that line ♪ Blood? ♪ Run the ball ♪ ♪ Clear down the field ♪ ♪ A touchdown sure this time ♪ ♪ On Wisconsin, On Wisconsin ♪ On Wisconsin. On Wisconsin. Fight on for her fame. Hold on. This is a, I love this video. Fight. ♪ Fight and we will win this game ♪ ♪ On Wisconsin, On Wisconsin ♪ See, they’re normaler there with their mouth. Normaler? Yeah, their mouth movements are more. Oh, not her. I like that big finger. I’d love to see that hand underneath there. Is it as big as that? She’s not into it enough. See, sometimes you can be not into it enough. He’s sort of, he doesn’t look like he should be there. All are welcome in Wisconsin. She’s got her emotional support badger. I don’t, I don’t, I don’t know what to think of it. I don’t know what to think of that. I like that one better. Do you remember ours? ♪ We’re the red and white from State ♪ ♪ And we know we are the best ♪ ♪ Hands behind our back ♪ ♪ We can take on all the rest ♪ ♪ Go to hell, Carolina ♪ ♪ Devils and Deacs, stand in line ♪ ♪ The red white from NC State ♪ ♪ Go State ♪ See, we remembered that. No applause. That was the official fight song? Yeah, it said “Go to hell, Carolina”. You guys don’t know your freaking school’s fight song? No. Bunch of millennials. You got no school spirit? But the ones that we just watched were so like- Gen Z-ers. Regal seeming. And they were all like nice and traditional. It’s ’cause the choral department was doing it. Yeah, yeah. We don’t do that. We don’t stand in there in suits and bow ties. None of these other ones were like “F off, rival school”. Well. Yeah, we got a good one. Okay, the original It’s not the official mix. The original rendition of the song was “Over the hill, Carolina”. But that very quickly got changed to “Go to hell, Carolina.” ♪ We’re the red and white from State ♪ ♪ And we know we are the best ♪ ♪ Hands behind our back ♪ ♪ We can take on all the rest ♪ ♪ Go to hell, Carolina ♪ ♪ Devils and Deacs, stand in line ♪ ♪ The red and white from NC State ♪ ♪ Go State ♪ Okay, but if you know you are the best- We know we are the best. Why in your theme, fight song are you naming your rival? Because we sort of know we’re not the best, okay? Yeah. We know they’re better and we hate them for it. Go to hell, Carolina! Devils and Deacs. Okay, so you should pick a rival. In our theme song, we have to pick the show. We gotta say “Go to hell, Mr. Beast.” Yeah, yeah. That’s what we gotta do. The Carolina of YouTube is Mr. Beast. Oh, well, he is, yeah. Of GMM. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don’t consider him our competition. I’m saying the Carolina of Mr. Beast, like, you know, multiple national championships, you know. No. Do not. We can be the Carolina of YouTube. No, we’re the NC State. No, I don’t think we can because Mr. Beast. We had a title in the ’80s. So first line of our fight song is “Go to hell, Mr. Beast”. Haven’t been great lately. We’re gonna say “Go to hell, Mr. Beast”. Then we’ve gotta say, who’s our Devils and Deacs? So that’s the Blue Devils and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. We’re telling them they can stand in line ’cause we’ll get to you. They’re the smarter they’re the smarter ones. Smarter? Duke? Yeah. Okay. They’re the smarter ones. So we have to pick someone who’s smarter. Project Veritas. No, no. Hank Green. Hank Green. We gotta call out Hank Green. John and Hank Green. Let’s roll them both up there and dismiss both of them. “Go to hell, Mr. Beast. Hank and John, stand in line.” That’s good. Hey, this fight song’s really coming together. Wait, what’s the other thing you said you had to include? Fight. Fight. So now it’s like, “Fight”. Our song starts with “Go to hell, Mr. Beast.” Ol’ GMM was the other thing. Yeah. Ol’ GMM fight. I think we should work our way up to “Go to hell, Mr. Beast.” Here’s some other, some other thought starters. It must rhyme. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It should be inspirational. So “Go to hell, Mr. Beast, Hank and John, you’re the least.” Words are often spelled out. Like F-I-G-H-T. G-M-M. G-O-O-D M-Y-T-H-I-C-A-L. So like, ’cause lots of them are like “fight on”. “Fight on, ol’ GMM.” So it’s G-O-O-D-M-Y-T on the next slide. Oh, we have to do the whole thing? ‘Cause it rhymes. G-O-O-D-M-Y-T H-I-C A-L. Oh, I got it, I got it. G-O-O-D-M-Y-T H-I-C A-L Morning. Morning. I’m trying to get the ning in morning to rhyme with the T. A-L Morning. G-O-O-D-M-Y-T H-I-C-A-L Morning. Oh, what’s the beat here? What happened? ♪ G-O-O-D-M-Y-T H-I-C-A-L Morning ♪ Like see, if you do a little pause. ♪ G-O-O-D-M-Y-T H-I-C-A-L Morning ♪ We also have some musical tracks if you’d like. Oh. Oh, sorry. You don’t really, I don’t, we don’t want a musical track. Okay, fine. We’re acapella boys. Fight songs oftentimes begin with a call to action. “Go to hell, Mr. Beast”. Check. Common themes include- We’re starting with “Go to hell, Mr. Beast.” I love it. Victory. On field success. Never giving up. Persevering. So what’s the equivalent of scoring? I think it’s views basically, right? Like get them clicks. Well. Watch time. Trending. No, trending is a joke. No, but it, I know, but trending. Trending’s a joke. I don’t even wanna say it. I don’t even wanna say it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Get them clicks! Watch time! Who are you looking at, Rhett, when you look off like that? When I look off? You, but I can’t see you. He’s looking across the stadium. We need a, can I have a, I need a little window. I need a Stevie window. Loyal. And then there’s a screen in front of her. I can’t see her. I need a mirror. I need a mirror that if I look right there, I see Stevie. Can we do that? Next season. You know, if you do that, I’ll forgive you for those 22 trombones. Some common words besides fight are hail. Hail. Hail. “Go to hail, Mr. Beast.” Glory. Ol’ or old. We got Ol’ GMM. Yeah, yeah. We’re combining those and saying, “Go to hail, Mr. Beast.” Old, yeah. What about just “All hail Mr. Beast”? No, no, he’s going to hail, man. Ol’ GMM. So at the begin, at the end, we wanna, you know, it’s like ♪ The red and white from NC State ♪ ♪ Go State ♪ It’s like that. We gotta have a big ending like that. Get them clicks, them clicks! What if it’s What if it’s just G-M-M? So we’ll put that at the end. Yeah, I like that. It’s just the G-M-M Yeah, yeah, yeah. At the end, so. ♪ G-M-M ♪ ♪ Three blind mice ♪ Okay, let’s see. Anything else? So do we wanna hear the Do you wanna hear the music? No. No, you don’t. I don’t think we do. I don’t think you do either, honestly. I think you’re fine. I don’t think we do. ‘Cause it’s, you gotta be able to sing it acapella. Acapella. Go to hell. So “Go to hell, Mr. Beast, Hank and John, you’re the least.” That’s when it starts speeding up. So how did we start there? Yeah. What if we start with- ♪ We’re the oldest running show on the whole damn internet ♪ Something like, we don’t want to, like, “We’re the longest running daily show on all the internet.” We always say that. I don’t even know if that’s true. Yeah, let’s just say it. I don’t want that to be the discussion. “We’re the oldest running daily show on all the internet.” I think you can say things like that, it doesn’t matter. It’s not like it’s regulated. You know what I’m saying? Oldest running? It would be longest running. ♪ We’re the longest running show ♪ ♪ We’re the longest running daily show on the internet ♪ ♪ We make a lot of faces so we can get the clicks ♪ It’s supposed to rhyme, man. Internet and clicks is good enough for a fight song, man. ♪ Go to hell, Mr. Beast, Hank and John, you’re the least ♪ Oh, we, no, look, we should send that to the end. You’re just using the NC State fight song. Yeah, yeah. Because do your “G-O-O-D-M-Y-C” thing, do that after “We got the clicks”. So move that up. Okay. We’ll change the melody. This is a good way to do the timing. “We’re the longest running daily show on all the internet. We make a lot of faces so we can get the clicks.” ♪ We’re the longest running daily show ♪ ♪ On all the internet, we think ♪ We could say “We think”. ♪ We think we’re the longest running daily show ♪ No, we’ll just say it. G-O And then I think we need another line that rhymes and then it’s ♪ G-O-O-D-M-Y-T H-I-C-A-L Morning ♪ ♪ Go to hell, Mr. Beast ♪ ♪ Hank and John, you’re the least ♪ ♪ Get the clicks, Get the clicks, G-M-M ♪ Yeah, okay.
