CW: Physical abuse [More info under the video description]]
Special thanks to the band "The Konami Kode" (yes that's their real name) for letting me use their version of the Contra Jungle theme. You can check them out here: [ Ссылка ]
Thanks to Will Gets for letting me use his car stereo to work out the chorus lyrics, and Halolz.com for the use of the Ten Commandments mashup pic.
LYRICS
Ohmigod I fell into a jungle and it's scary gotta run (Gotta run gotta...)
Get red letters with wings (They can fly, they are letters and can fly!)
They're full of weapons and things (Laser gun, flamethrower marshmallow gun?)
S is what I shall use! (spread gun spread gun muthafucka )
R just makes me confused (it stands for rarely helpful)
I shoot tomatoes in all directions, fuckers!
But I still need some added protection!
This game is as hard as I am for Bjork (Fuck yeah dress up like a swan baby)
Harder than Mel Gibson hits Oksana Grigorieva
No I don't wanna play, it's too hard and I feel like a dork (One hit, that's it? Bullshit!)
This code gives you thirty lives, thanks Wikipedia!
Two up two down, left right left right, B A start
Two up two down, left right left right, B A start
Two up two down, left right left right, B A start
That is the code, help me sing it again y'all
Two up two down, left right left right, B A start
Two up two down, left right left right, B A start
Two up two down, left right left right, B A start
That is the Konami Code!
And now I've got a good chance
To do a victory dance
I gotta shoot at these angry defensive linemen
RATTA TATTA BANGA TAKE A BULLET IN YOUR DANGALANGA--BAM!
Back to the chorus, one mo time!
Two up two down, left right left right, B A start
Two up two down, left right left right, B A start
Two up two down, left right left right, B A start
That is the code, help me sing it again y'all
Two up two down, left right left right, B A start
Two up two down, left right left right, B A start
Two up two down, left right left right, B A start
That is the Konami Code!
I had to cheat, but I fin'lly beat Contra!

So when I first wrote this, I had what I considered to be an "edgy" sense of humor. The joke about Mel Gibson was topical, and I figured as long as I put the words "Bad man!" on the screen it would show that I wasn't taking his side. Now, years later, it just feels like I'm making light of domestic abuse, which I don't think is funny at all. If you find this video to be nostalgic, that's fine, but just know that I don't think that's something to make light of, and that's why I changed the lyric in the album version.
