- The Sandvich Blues was premiered at Meet the Mercs in Seattle on March 2, 2024. It's an expression of the Team Fortress 2 Mercs' struggle to find the Sandvich for Heavy. This was recorded at Boxley's Jazz Club in North Bend, Washington on March 3, 2024. Thank you, Danny!
Music and lyrics by John Patrick Lowrie
The Sandvich Blues
Woke up this mornin, the Sandvich was gone.
Didn’t leave no note. Nothin to go on.
Looked under the covers, under the sheet,
Now Heavy’s broken hearted, he’s got nothin to eat!
We got the Sandvich Blues way down in our soul.
We got the Sandvich Blues way down in our soul.
This can’t be happnin, things are outta control.
Gotta have a plan. Where we gonna look?
Been so many places, we could write a book!
Been to California, been to Peru
But Heavy’s still got nothin! What we gonna do?
We got the Sandvich Blues way down in our soul.
These are some Sandvich Blues. Things are takin a toll.
This can’t be happnin, Heavy’s outta control.
Met a mysterious woman. She even got a hat.
We were really hopin she’d tell us where it’s at.
She met us on a boat, she met us in a bar.
But we ain’t got no sandvich, we only got a car!
We got the Sandvich Blues way down in our soul.
We know it’s the Sandvich Blues. Don’t need to take a poll.
If we don’t find it soon, Heavy’s gonna eat a troll.
Doc’s halucinatin, things are getting worse.
Spy is cogitatin, maybe it’s a curse!
Admin’s intimidatin, she’s nobody’s nurse!
f we don’t find the sandvich Heavy’s gonna need a
hearse!
We got the Sandvich Blues way down in our soul.
It’s still the Sandvich Blues. You could put it on a scroll.
Donde esta el sandvich? Say it in Español.
Ya gotta help us find it. Ya gotta help us search.
Who could be behind it? Maybe buy some merch!
Please ya gotta help us, don’t leave us in the lurch!
If we could find the sandvich we would even go to church!
We got the Sandvich Blues way down in our soul.
These are some Sandvich Blues. It’s like bein on parole.
Help us find the Sandvich! There is no higher goal!

"What's your favorite band?"
"Team Fortress."

Funny how Team Fortress actually makes a sick band name
Fr
this really teams my fortress
Who’s fortressing their teams rn
What keeps TF2 alive? A single Valve employee and a team of voice actors.
And the community that doesn't want to let go, even when in an unplayable state. We are Team Fortress, expect us.
I let go, i sold all my items and uninstalled forever after playing for a decade and putting in 2.k thousand hours. The fact that valve hasnt fixed this issue after all the years weve been asking for them too is a spit in the face of everyone who has supported them for so long. @@capofantasma97
Even in the hardest and roughest times the team fortress 2 and valve community stays together as one !
dont know if im gonna be shot for saying this but rick may is working harder than valve to keep tf2 alive right now
Said employee doing it on his free time while working on other Valve project.
Knowing Medic is played by the same guy who said “Why are we still here, just to suffer” is the funniest thing ever

i love how all of them are wearing sunglasses but then theres sniper wearing the iconic glasses
I love how there's no most replayed. People actually watched this all the way through.

"You wouldn't know" is more fitting if you get it you get it
Everyone's gonna be racing each other to make an SFM music video for this first.
The fact that this game came out 16 years ago and still has people talking about it is amazing
Half life:
That was fantastic. The Team Fortress community is blessed to have voice actors like yourself that make the players feel connected to the original characters and the people behind it ❤thank you
YO buddy whats good.. Those are legend.. but you.. you are the Legendary Artist!
*TF2* Going DARK..
HOOT???????????????????????????????? HOLY CRAP GUYS ITS HOOT
i got banned from your server hoot
hoooot!11!!1!
Bravo six going dark.
Valve: Not making TF2 content.
The VAs: "Fine. We'll do it ourselves."
Me: A blessing from the lord!
Ah, I hope there is youtube in paradise and Rick May can hear this masterpiece
I love how these guys still get together and do silly stuff in character
If SFM animators are not working right now I'm not living.
Fr
They mostly rush the animation just to profit off of views. The first ones always look stiff.
Give them a few days
mannn, I was just thinking about making one.
Im not good with humans in sfm :-/. Maybe with godzilla! :D
As far as I'm concerned this is canon to what the gang do in their free time
Idc if valve doesn't say so Spy is canonically a Jazz singer to me now.
Sniper knows how to play sax, Demo can play piano and Engineer plays the guitar.
Expiration date confirms
plot twist: the sandvich is in his tummy already
I Love how the Spy is a Spy
This is one of the greatest things to come out of the community so far this year
No need for half measures. Have you really seen something better?
Love this ❤
how are you here, why are you following me? lol
@@davidpowell7889 he's everywhere, we cannot escape

Gotta love the announcer not actually playing the piano. She's just vibing.
none of them are playing I think but imo it's fair they're getting quite old yknow
@@pluto2875sniper is playing for real and the drummer in the back
@@pluto2875 I'm a guitarist and Sniper's looks legit. But Medic is definetly miming
@@makkabanter8540 Kit isn't mic'd and there are a lot of mistimed hits. He's playing lethargically because his audio isn't needed so he's being considerate to their eardrums. The kit would NOT sound like that from room mics alone with that play style.
It's perfectly possible it's the same person on the recording, because he obviously IS a drummer. But you're not hearing live drums.
Sniper actually plays the acoustic
WHY IS THIS ACTUALLY SO BEAUTIFUL?! love it, man! reminds me of the golden age of memes and tv...
BROOOOO HOW IS THIS AS GOOD AS IT IS, i love how the VAs are still so dedicated to this wonderful community
Thank you for this John, Robin, Dennis, Gary and Ellen. You made this community a much brighter place.
Our pleasure!
I haven't played TF2 in years sincce my PC pooped out on me but I still love watching the actors and games
If only Rick was here. God rest his soul.

Thank you for this
Bless you guys!
This fandom is phenomenal, just the idea that 17 years later VAs of the game suddenly become one of the most active members of the community sounds crazy
We were so blessed
These voice actors just suddenly found out one day, that they had a giant fanbase because of one of their old works that they probably didn't even remember, and then out of the *blue* they were receiving much more praise and love than they could ever have imagined. But what truly makes me happy is how they reciprocated it, embraced their characters and engaged with the community. This song is a product of the best thing that ever happened to the gaming community
Bro what lol. The TF2 voice actors have always known how big the TF2 fandom is.
You're right.....He's right.
@@mylifefortheoldfish point still stands - the game is older than a lotta kids, marriages and relationships that these actors have probably gone through, it’s crazy to think that they’re still willing to support the community after this long as if we’re some kind of clingy lover that keeps listening to their voicemails and becoming ecstatic whenever they make something new.
@@we-must-live The point doesn't stand lol. Because they didn't "realize one day" there was still a huge fan following, they knew the whole time.
@@mylifefortheoldfish lol lol lol
The fact that everyone is unironically amazing as singing and playing makes this feel like a real band and something Valve would officially produce!
this right here is proof of how a dedicated community can keep a game alive for years on end
Can we appreciate that the original actors cared enough about their roles to make an original song in character voice?
WHILE DRESSED AS THE CHARACTERS
You mean they did this for free?
They probably do care, but they don't "sing for free" care.
@@techmouse.he literally never said that, what are you yapping about?
@@weegeguy9770 Okay fine, I'll break it down then, since you want to go this way with it. They didn't write the song. They didn't make the costumes. They didn't fly themselves to North Bend, Washington with their own money just so they could sing this song. It's a job. Everything involved happened because of money, including their singing. They likely see video games as children's toys and think they're singing to literal children, even though it's rated M (17+).
They're not doing this out of the love of the game. That seems highly unlikely since they've only played it once. They're doing this because it's their job. They don't really care. All they did was say yes to money.
@@techmouse.Did you talk to the actors?
Who would’ve guessed that Heavy, medic, sniper, spy, and the administrator would (of course) make the best band
a demoman in the back
Seeing people who worked together and made something amazing, get together and make something goofy later on, fills me with so much warmth and nostalgia for old friends.
ONE MILLION VIEWS!!!! Congratulations and thank you to Mr. Lowrie and Team! 👏
Only thing missing is Scout's VA walking up to the mic at the end, taking bite of the sandwich and asking "what you guys are doing, huh?"
man 😢
"hey hey nice hustle tons of fun! Next time eat a salad!"
Does anyone know what happened to scouts voice actor? Man just disappeared from the internet
@@baconboi4482this is supposed to be confidential but from my sources, Scout's VA ""allegedly"" got shoved into Jeremy985's infamous meat grinder and was """accidentally""" minced into a pot of chili. Now, the only one we can turn to for a small soundbyte of Scout's voice is peeping the horror with his colony of rats in some damp sanitarium somewhere.
@@baconboi4482I think he works at Wizards of the Coast???
Miss Pauling all worried about the mercs goofing around only to find the administrator playing the piano with them 😭😭💕
And then she becomes the camerawoman.

This video just makes me smile every time I see it. This is definitely staying in my playlist. Thank you John.
This is gonna have to go onto Spotify, Itunes, Amazon and more!
This is what the internet is for
The VAs themselves, singing a blues song about sandvich, roleplaying their characters, doing their characters’ voices, DRESSED as their characters, with cool sunglasses on! What?! Am I dreaming? This is awesome! I sure hope you know how grateful we are for you all, your creativity, heart, and everything you’ve done for and given to the TF2 community
heavy didn't leave to change into a demoman costume for the one line though so 0/10 this sucks

I’ve always had immense respect for voice actors that I never really felt from others and it’s so nice to see them out and about and getting the respect and recognition they deserve. Thank all of you for your efforts over the years :)
Man. These voiceactors. They have the prime time of their life almost 18 years after the games launch. Incredible how a community like this stays alive!
the lengths the voice actors are going through to gift the community like this is unfathomable. thank you i love you guys!!
This is the kinda stuff I wanna be doing when I’m 70
I keep coming back to this, just can't get enough of it... It's absolutely beautiful, I'm so grateful for you guys!!
1. This is legitimately a good song instead of just being a meme song.
2. It is wild just how unorthodox you guys are, it's absolutely awesome.

I wish scout was here, and rick may were alive to see this.
RIP Rick and Godspeed Nathan, wherever you may be.
I can't believe I live in a time period that has the TF2 VAs singing blues about sanviches! Born to late for the 80s, too early for 2100, but just in time for Sandvich Blues!
After 9 years in development, and 17 years in the public space, this was absolutely worth the wait...
ah yes my favorite band, *red team*
Seeing the team of Voice Actors of my favorite game of all time still interested in it and collaborating to make fun sketches and AMAZING songs makes me incredibly happy, truly an amazing time to be alive!
Thank you guys so much for everything you've done for this game!
1:26 the amount of power behind that “she’s even got a hat”
I quaked AND quivered in my boots
The power of the unusual
Born too late to explore the world, too early to explore mars but right on time witness the sandvich blues, i love it.
First off, Mr. Lowrie, big fan of your work! Sniper's one of my all-time favorite characters, and you give him so much life and personality. Second, you, Dennis, Robin, Gary and Ellen were in top form for this! Long live TF2, and long live the Mercs!
1:23 god i love ellen, her voice makes my dopamine go brrrrr every time. “met a mysterious woman, she’s even got a hat” scratches my brain in all the right places‼️ i hope to hear more from her soon, she’s very talented
i love your voice too, mr lowrie!! both of you make me smile :3
(also, happy 13th birthday to portal 2! may your neurotoxin emitters always be warm)
Rest in peace Rick May. Voice actor of Soldier.
soldier says: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Hes doing barrel roll in the heavens

I really hope someone puts this in TF2 so when people log into the game we get to here this wondrous tune
Make it a group emote
Sandvish Blues as a menu theme sounds very in-character for TF2
These people with their voices gave me so many good moments. thanks for everything♥
Master piece.
I'm really impressed Gary can not only speak, but also sing by Heavy's voice.
Team Fortress 2 lived, Team Fortress 2 lives and Team Fortress 2 will live forever. Love you Rick May
We’re gonna live forever!
I love these actors. Although English is not my native language, I am simply delighted with their voices and intonation. Nowadays they “don’t make such talented voice actors anymore.” Ellen McClain and Robin Atkin Downes are especially impressive

My favourite facts about these guys are that Administrator is Sniper's wife, Spy and Pyro are dubbed by the same dude, they had no idea what impact they had on millions of people up until couple of years prior... and they are all good friends.
Are heavy and demoman the same guy too?
I don't care if this is a joke, i need this on spotify
GOD BLESS THESE MEN FOR CARING ABOUT THEIR COMMUNITY!!!
This is what i love about TF2 not only is the community great but the VAs are also funny and do these type of things.
0:13 it took me at least 30 seconds to Remeber what character that was
Robin unknowingly creating "Kazuhira Medic" by doing that voice while playing an acoustic guitar with sunglasses on.
The fact a 16 year old game still has such a dedicated fanbade that it regularly brings such a talented ensemble of colleagues together for random fun stuff like this...hell, life ain't as bad as I used to think.
Its the best voice actors ever. I so love you.
The most legendary game voice actors tbf. Never seen anyone so dedicated. Proud of em.
