Ya guys only got a few more years to wait, Lucas ends up creating an ACTUAL lightsaber and successfully creates an actual WOOKIE, A MUTHAFUCKIN WOOKIE!!! Goes without saying that puss biden of course tucked his lil "front tail" between his legs and surrendered America to Lucas. Good news is that America is on her way to showing the rest of the world why we got the #1 Superpower on Earth, bad news is (depending on how ya decide to look at it, like personally for me this is also GREAT news) is
Coming here and seeing all these comments about this song popping in their heads every once in while over the years makes me feel a bit better about it
I have literally just spent well over an hour trying to think of the game this song was from. As I couldn't remember either the game itself or even a lyric from the song. The only information I had to go on was that I knew it was "something" 2.... After watching about 4 videos for Borderlands 2... I found out that it definitely wasn't that game. I then decided "Google, you'll know!" and proceeded to type in to Google "War game sequel with a cool TV ad." Google didn't know. I then spent the next 15 minutes with my head in my hands squeezing my skull in a vain attempt of pushing the information out forcefully. This didn't help and only caused further discomfort to the entire episode. For some reason Flobots - Handlebars kept repeating over, and over, and over, and over in my head... I will listen to that after I have found this I thought. I eventually thought to myself... "Well, How many games could possibly have sequels?" If you are wondering what the answer is to that question well unsurprisingly, a lot of games have sequels. Luckily though, some kind person has listed all video game sequels on a handy Wikipedia page. If you ever need to find this list Google can help with that, if you ask the much less vague question of "Games with sequels" Here I was presented with a list. A very long list. And, as Mercenaries begins with an M, which is the 13 letter of the alphabet I was here for some time. Painfully trawling through video game sequels that I had never heard of. Did you know that Death Jr had a sequel..? Well, it does. You're welcome. And then page 4... glorious page 4!!! Something in my brain sparks as soon as I see it. Mercenaries 2: World In Flames. I smiled to myself, I knew I had found it. But just to be 100%... I clicked on the link, and there it was. The front cover I had seen about 7 years ago... Oh no... Oh no... Oh no no no... Oh no you didn't!! Oh, but I most certainly did. I regret nothing.
I’m 31, never played this game, probably haven’t seen the commercial this was from since 2007. Yesterday I woke up and it popped into my head and I could remember every word and I’ve been singing it to myself since then lol
It's been 15 years. Just looked this up for 2022 and it's almost 2023. I started singing this to my 3 month old. It was my ring tone many moons ago! 😆 Love it!
I randomly wanted to find the trailer to hear this song it's 2020. I last wanted to go find it was in 2015 so I sorta forgot the game for like 30 mins but finally found it.
12 years later and this song still pops into my head. One of the most underrated video games of all time. I still go back once in a while on my 360 and play it for a little. I wish Pandemic was still alive. Their games just hit different. They were so good.
This commercial was so iconic that during the first verse of the studio version, my brain still inserts the hits, grunts, gunfire, etc. as they sounded in the ad.

@@shadowchild8592 I'm sorry man you're just wrong. DBD's all-time peak player count was 105,000, in the last 30 days it's had a peak of 71,500 players. Between its all-time peak in June 2021 and June 2023 it only lost 20,000 players. If that trend continues the game will be dead in another 7 years.
I have been traumatized by this song. Whatever I do in life every other week this song will be stuck in my head for 24hrs. I’ve never played the games, I’m guessing I was in the room while my dad did and I absorbed this song or something. I have tried seeking help but professionals have no solutions for this song. It terrifies me that I can sing this song perfectly and remember it even though I had no idea where this came from. I have tried all methods to forget it, but it’s getting to the apex of terrorism in my mind. I don’t know how much longer I can endure this.
You're actually not alone, this is called an ear worm. I've had a song called Guilt Trip by Pup stuck in my head nearly every day for years and years. What I found that helps me is I refuse to let myself ever go back to the song to listen even though I liked it, and I refuse to let myself sing it at all. And if I start singing it in my head or accidentally out loud while in the car I make myself sing another song lol
Come to pay my respects as tonight when I went to water my plants and water spilled from my watering can onto the floor a familiar melodic "Oh no oh no oh noooooo~" rang in my head and sent me looking for this song to enjoy again. Used to listen to this in the car with my dad and I still remember how he looked busting a gut laughing the first time I played it in the car on my mp3 for him. This song has most definitely aged well.
When i was a little kid and didnt know english all i understoon in the song was "oh, no, you didn't". Im now 22 soon... and i still hum this "oh, no, you didn't"...😢
So this song came across my Spotify as i was tabbed to another page, and i swear to god i thought this was some corny commercials theme song. Then the "you bust a cap in my ass" came up and my eyes got all big and said idc who's commercial this is this is the best thing i've ever heard xD
Mercenary 1+2 were some of the best games I've ever played. My favorite in the game is to attach a car to a helicopter and swing it like a morning star. good old Times
Rest in peace Pandemic, you will be missed , but you shall live on in the memories of your fans and your games shall tell future generations of your legacy, So one last round of Oh No You Didn't.
I know nothing about the game, but ive listened to this on repeat many times over the last 20 years lol, like i keep rediscovering it. Its so good. Who made this? Is there more?
