Jokes[]

At 0:08, the song is mashed up with "We Are Number One", a song made by Máni Svavarsson and Stefán Karl Stefánsson for the show LazyTown. At the same time, the album cover fades into an edited version of itself, with the following changes:

  • "FUN." is edited to "ROTTEN."
  • "WE ARE YOUNG" is edited to "WE ARE NUMBER ONE".
  • The photo of the band is replaced with a photo of Robbie Rotten, Bobbie, Tobbie, and Flobbie, taken from the LazyTown episode "Robbie's Dream Team", the episode in which "We Are Number One" comes from.

During the interlude and bridge sections, the scatting from "We Are Number One" is remixed to the song, with it edited to the same melody as the actual lyrics.

At 3:55, the screen fades to black. Then, at 4:02, a message fades in, stating the following:

"It's not until they tell you you're going to die soon that you realize how short life is. Time is the most valuable thing in life because it never comes back. And whether you spend it in the arms of a loved one or alone in a prison-cell, life is what you make of it. Dream big." - Stefán Karl Stefánsson

At 4:14, the message fades. Yet again at 4:16, another fades in, saying:

"Rest In Peace, Stefán. You'll always be number one." The message then fades out at 4:26, as the song comes to a close.

Trivia[]

  • This FLAC was uploaded a day after Stefán Karl Stefánsson passed away, hence the messages at the end and the catchphrase in the description.
  • This FLAC originally used one of the single covers of "We Are Young", but was switched to "Some Nights" when the FLAC got it's new thumbnail.
