As we couldn’t get a podcast episode out this week, instead you get a parody song. You’re welcome, internet.
I have a couple of dozen parody songs written, but this is the first that I’ve actually been reasonably happy with after I recorded it. I originally wrote this for WoW, but since re-wrote it for League of Legends. I like this version better anyway :)
Share and enjoy!
“Everyone Gets Nerfed” – in the style of “Everybody Hurts” by R.E.M.
Bump the LoL forum thread (US) or the EU forum thread if you like it. Also, click for my mini League of Legends review.
Thanks to R.E.M. for decades of brilliant music, most of which I own.

Lyrics:
When the downtime’s long
and the news from the forums looks all wrong
and the patch notes talk of nerfs to your champ
hang on
Don’t let yourself QQ
’cause everybody cries
everyone gets nerfed
sometimes
sometimes balance is all wrong
now it’s time to sing along
When your epic E is gone
and you feel like buying Ashe
and you think you’ve had too much of Malzahar
hang on
Everyone gets nerfed
take comfort in your skill
everyone gets nerfed
Don’t whine on the official forums
ooooooooh no
Or if you do, at least whine in an amusing rap battle
When you feel like you’re alone
five hundred guys who play Fiddle say you’re not alone
When your nukes are gone
and the cooldown on your ulti seems too long
and you think you’ve had too much Endless Rage
to hang on
Everyone gets nerfed
sometimes everybody whines
everyone gets nerfed
sometimes
everyone gets nerfed
sometimes
so hold on
hold on
hold on
hold on
hold on
nerf Vlad that son of a b..
hold on
hold on
everyone gets nerfed
I cant donwload this. please gimme another link’
http://tbogeek.com/NinjaChimp/FailIsTheNewWin/01%20-%20Everyone%20Gets%20Nerfed%20LoL%20v2.mp3 doesn’t work for you?
Not to download from only listen too.
I’m guessing he has a mac like me. =/
Great vocals, great lyrics. Downloading. Then in 10 years when the game’s dead, that part with the champ voices at the end will bring back memories of LoL and make me cry. Hooray!
pls god dont let lol ever end. i want to play it when im 70 and with arthritis
NO do not nerf vlad, lol if he gets nerfed everyone needs a nerf… hes perfectly balanced
“and you feel like buying Ashe”
Gold.
:)
<3 Love it.
Thanks man
Epic
cheers mate

Really good man! Keep it up!
Cheers!
Love this !!! And grats on the summoner show case..
Best part, Nerf vlad that son of a b!!
well played, well played…
;) thanks
You said don’t whine on official forums… so heres my complaints:
Vlad – has 113 ap, and no survivability late game and still kicks your entire teams ass.
Nocturne – Leash range on his fear.
Tryhardsomemore – Exhausted while under undying rage, still kills you from full health, and spins out of the rest of the damage and doesn’t die.
Instant explosion abilities. (Sion, has to charge up his shield before exploding, lux and gragas can throw and blow you up before you can move)
Blind. (Probably the most broken function in-game. You’re blind, but you can still precision ability your enemies, the least they could give the ability a chance to miss. Ha! I blinded Kassadin! Silences you because hes blind and knows exactly where youre at.)
:o
about your blinds QQ: no.. blinds are for AD champs, it makes them unable to hit autoattacks. Just like silences are for AP champs, it makes them unable to do abilities. So, if you have a blind, just dont use it on kassadin, exept if its to give you that extra burst you needed to kill him..
“Nerf Vlad that son of a B..”
Haha! That was awesome. Great song, man. And you’ve got one hell of a voice. :)
cheers :)
Hilarious lyrics not to mention the great voice! :)
thanks v much!
“Nerf that Vlad sonuva b…”
Whole song is worth it just for that line.
haha the Fiddle line is my favourite, but yeah :)
Ashe is op!!!!
Everyone’s OP when they’re pwning you in the face… until you play them and suck hard…
Amen to that.. I got pwned by Rumble on many occasions and I bought him.. I can’t pwn crap with him QQ
thank you so much for saying that
awsome!!
thanks!
Good one, gz
tyvm
GJ, epic
cool, thanks!
Beautiful voice and great lyrics !
awww shucks :)
wow epic lyric nice
cheers, I liked writing this one
I cried because it’s true :,(
i love ur voice :)
If only you sounded that awesome on Mumble. :P
Mrs Trav says you LIE!!! :D
aah a great song, and your voice is really really beautiful :D
dude this is awesome. Congratulations. I didnt laugh so much since the Taric (it was outrageous) song.
Fiddles line is my favorite too, since i was one of that 500. :)
I’m in love with your voice <3 Sing more <3
BTW They really should un-nerf Evelyn. She wasn't OP in my opinion (was owned by her for a few times until I learnt how to counter her though, but same goes to Twitch, Trynda, Vlad, Akali and so on) and now she became like really really hard to play and kind of useless in late game.
Very nice voice, and the song is very nicely made. Good job mate!
Good Stuff ! , gz
“five hundred guys who play Fiddle say you’re not alone” hahaha I LoL’d so hard :D
Great work, sir. Keep up good work. I hope, you will sing more and more.
Take care,
DzejBee EU

#hellagameswag

I think I almost cried when I heard “Captain Teemo on duty”. Poor little guy. :<
I thought he was a scout, he’s title says so!
Gosh, keep doing this! Your voice is really soft & beautiful!
this song is pure epicness, never thought that someone could make such a great song about a video game :D
Your voice turns me on. ;D
there are no words to describe the awesome that is this song. gj
Congratz’ !
Nice vocal, great rhythm, GG ! XD
i love this song ^^ It’s beautiful.
“five hundred guys who play Fiddle say you’re not alone”
I’am not alone :D
but his nerfed ulti is now so weak :(
and drain QQ
:(
Hey :) That is one awesome song. The lyrics are so cool :) and i love your voice. Ooh, ooh, am I the first person to comment from England? epic. =D
Sorry bout the ad people, but we’ve had 37,000 downloads and we need to cover the hosting costs somehow.
Amazing song! The line about vlad just made my day.
this could be in top of most awsome:$
Malzahar is pretty easy to play, just so freaking hard to position in a team fight.. Though it’s funny how he just melts everyone.
You’re talking to a Fiddle player, and saying it’s hard to position Malz? ;D
you are awesome, make me a child
Hey man, I was looking through some old LoL summoner issues and ran across your song and tried to download it through both links you gave but my computer will not download it. It could be that I’m just missing something stupid but is there a reason for this? Fantastic song by the way.
Thanks mate. Right click > save on the download link above works for me. Maybe your browser security settings are set too high? Try a different browser maybe (I’m using Chrome).
Cheers
