AND SO WE FALL | Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout Song!

'Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout', also known as 'Rainbow Jellybean Health and Safety Regulation Abandonment Simulator 2020' tasks you with guiding your very own wobbly little bean person to victory against a sea of other wacky little tic-tac people in a series of questionably 'safe' gauntlets for the viewing pleasure of the audience of an ominously technicolour and vaguely defined TV contest.

In short, it's a sugary sweet and wholesome foam padded battle royale and you just know that means I had to find some darker twist on it. Who said the 'Guys' really enjoy falling that much...?

I'm moving house! As I type this I sit among my life organised and squeezed into towers of boxes, flanked by weirdly empty shelves in various stages of re-flat-packing.
I wasn't planning on having a song out this month but then Fall Guys happened and I had this rare gap in my schedule, so I decided to make a simpler video I could create around getting ready to move. (Even if all of my camera equipment weren't in boxes, I don't have a 6 foot bean costume to hand.) Plus I had found this absolute bop of a beat and I couldn't resist using it!

A huge thanks as always to my incredible patrons! To Oxygenn for his mixing work and to Liz for her editing the gameplay sections of the video.

Now, I have about 3 dozen more boxes to fill before the van gets here... See you all on the other side!

LYRICS:

Lights. Camera. Action.
Another day in traction.
Of being bashed and whacked
To rack up youtuber reactions
Apparently it’s the fashion
To be lacking in compassion
Require a guy to balance
And then fire at him with cannons
We will smile through the pain
Then climb up and start again
Living someone else’s game
As we tumble to the ground
Planting faces in the pavement
For a stranger’s entertainment
No one said when chasing fame
That the direction would be down

And so we fall
All we’ve ever known is being on TV
And so we fall
Our only home is neon PVC
And so we fall
Ever downward chasing crowns we’ll never see
And so we fall until the day we choose to rise

Scrambling to the mantle
Straddling stacks of tangled ragdolls
Forging forwards on the trampled
Backs of comrades round our ankles
It’s a constant uphill battle
Against logs and giant apples
For some unknown cable channel
We just pray the show gets cancelled

Face-first at the door you’ve chosen
Hoping it’s the one that opens
We’ve no noses to be broken
But our spirits feel the sting
One more baton to the face
At the back end of the race
Never ending fall from grace
Second place don’t mean a thing

And so we fall
All we’ve ever known is being on TV
And so we fall
Our only home is neon PVC
And so we fall
Ever downward chasing crowns we’ll never see
And so we fall until the day we choose to rise


We’d start a union, fight these vertical atrocities
It’s hard to organise at terminal velocity
We won’t stand for being herded for your novelty
Stranded in a technicolour rubber purgatory

And so we fall
Another gungeward plunging to avoid
And so we fall
Another hundred flung into the void
And so we fall
Another bludgeoned lunge though spongey dungeon toys
And so we fall until the day we choose to rise

All we’ve ever known is being on TV
And so we fall
Our only home is neon PVC
And so we fall
Ever downward chasing crowns we’ll never see
And so we fall until the day we choose to rise

Game: Has a slight possibility of containing an oppressive corporate force

Stupendium: I have been called

It's official, Fall Guys is just an incredibly lethal version of the Truman Show.

[jobot]

The fact that Stupes made the video game equivalent of Wipe Out into a song about revolution deserves a like on it's own. And *then* he had the nerve to make the song good.

[gantzllat]

I love that is not only a song about revolution, is also lore accurate. This man never ceases to amaze.

[alcairr]

Absolutely adore the fact you went with the ''beans abused for reality tv'' path

[carpedm]

"Heres a fun party game!"
Stupendium: do you mean... competetive evil truman show?
"What n-"
Stupendium: right then!

[kuchenjaeger]

People: "Haha funny beans!"
Stupes: "VIVA LA REVOLUCION!"

[kaismith]

this guy needs to make an album called, "songs to overthrow the government to"

[E.h.a.n]

'Why do we fall sir ?
So that we can learn to pick ourselves up'

There is no game that the fantastic Stupendium can't turn into an allegory for class struggle.

[myrrhfortheroad]

Favorite line: "No one said when chasing fame that the direction would be down." Ugh, it's so good! This whole song is fantastic!

[franciscov.h]

3:03 "I´ve got to go for another cute and wholesome game to make something terribly twisted and depressing about" This made my day

[Casavay]

Why is a song about Fall Guys the most uplifting and empowering thing I've heard all month?

[noterobrine]

Sidenote: they NEED to add a stupendium Skin now

[OliProductions]

A guide of what to do when stupes releases a song:
1. Like
2. Add to playlist
3. Listen to the song like a million times

[itzwizory]

"Neverending fall from grace" sent shivers down my spine the first time I heard it.
Then I realized this is a song about Fall Guys.
And now I'm scared

[Shwiffle]

Guys, if we get this popular enough maybe, just maybe, Fall Guys will release a Stupendiguy skin.

[jackdibden]

When your "Simplistic" is still a massive bop. Such a tune mixed with lyrical genious is incredible as always. Thanks for the quailty content!

[toastguy]

I’ve never heard a song about some 6ft tall beans suffering endless torment at the hands of some twisted TV company’s that then start some sort of uprising to stop their obstacle course from be a absolute bop in the process. And when I thought Stupes has done it all he still manages to surprise. Props to you my good sir. Now time to question the moral quandaries behind this game.
