Honestly just transitioning to the Snail part without it would've been fine in my book, but you gotta appreciate how he managed to include in the victory fakeout in the song and have it not break up the flow of the song.

[Game_Byle]

Plot twist: the snail is how Juno sounds normally, he just uses a voices editing software all the other times

[owengonzalez]

I adore the “Let’s make a deal!” at the end. Really ties together the whole illegal selling of liquor shtick.

[KesbugTheGameDestroyer]

"Don't you clap on one and three" that line the jitterbug says is a reference to Jazz music standards, where you never clap on the beats one and three on a 4 beat song, you almost always clap on 2 and 4, it gives the song the jazzy groove.

This was so fun to work on!!! Glad it's finally out, easily my fav Cuphead song you've ever done.

[Phantump]

0:13 la araña
0:54 la mariposa
2:14 oso hormiguero
2:43 el caracol

I love how confident the Snail is despite how short that phase is, like you expect the boss to have the biggest attack but no

[hts]

“Our pint-sized enterprise
built beneath the coppers eyes.”

“Wanna scrap? Let’s escar-go!
The real McCoy has come to throw!”

“Here to beat out prohibition
Shell the gin out, that’s our mission!”

Gotta be some of my favorite parts, those lyrics are crazy good!

[ThisAintGood.]

One of the best Cuphead songs finally gets its time to shine!

[thechocochicken]

Love how each phase is represented in this song through the lyrics, from "eight limbs and they're all underhanded", to the "jitterbug" joke, let's not forget the incredible peak of lyricism that is - I'm just kidding "speak in tongues" is definitely my nomination for the best Anteater line. Of course the voices you, EmilyGo and RecD did - from the higher-pitched mobster accent to the scatting flapper's voice to the anteater's baritone - and the slightly tinny KNOCKOUT voice of the snail - cannot go without mention for how much they add to the song!! Plus the artwork, from the big ol' mafia car with its own angry face, the smoke coming from Cuphead's straw, and just that big ol' "THE WHOLE GANG IS HERE" shot. Amazing work on what's definitely my favourite DLC song!

[PonandCon]

1:16
"Jivin' junkies singin'"

That sounds suspiciously like everyone's (least) favorite robot

[WillieManga]

I love how these musical numbers for Cuphead always feel like they'd be made in this the mid 20th century, complete with comical wordplay, charismatic voices, and that's called jazz!

[mrcrisps]

Bootlegger Boogie was the best song in Cuphead and giving it lyrics just makes it even better, giving the characters more personality with their voices makes me wish that they were characters in the Cuphead show

[phrygianphoenix]

I love this "with lyrics" version. There are some things I wanted to analyze

1. The ending phrase starting with, "Here to beat out prohibition" is very clever. It sounds like their oath or plead to the mob and it makes sense for every member to end their verse with that.

2. The rhythm of the lyrics are very clever. Especially "Rakes the dough in" was very nice and definitely caught me off guard.

3. Finally, it has the charm of cuphead. The voices are perfect, the jokes are very smart, and the order of the verses are very well organized.

4. The new composed instrumental for the light bug part was very well done too.

OVERALL: Very good job everyone who was a part of this. I can't wait to see more "With Lyrics" from this channel.

[marlinjohnson]

Even in the darkest corners, even mobsters can shine. Awesome work Juno!

[cheese_vviz]

Easily the best part of this fantastic song

[jqrxmoo]

Oh god when the chorus sounds like an actual mob of people, this is amazing

[tntvale]

The mob will always win...My heart. Cup up for you Juno, this cover is a Delicious Last Course !

[abigailmadison]

The "Let's escargot" pun is going to live in my head rent free I just know it

[peucoman]

I can't wait for Juno to eventually cover "Doggone Dogfight" with British accents and RAF references.
