THE MOST FASHIONABLE FACTION | Animated Team Fortress 2 Song! [ft. Harry101UK]
In Valve's now iconic 'Team Fortress 2' they created the world's first War-themed Hat Simulator. Two teams of RED and BLU mercenaries battle it out across countless warzones with intense firepower and fine head-based tailoring. Somewhere behind all of this is some sort of deep conspiracy with two warring factions, corporate intrigue and muscular hirsute Australians. But really we know it's all about the hats.
Harry101UK and I have been talking about this project for YEARS but I actually wrote it before we'd even met, long before I was ever recording music. If memory serves, I'm fairly certain that this song was the first rap I ever wrote. The earliest recorded demo of this song dates back to 2016 but the lyrics had existed for at least 2-3 years before that.
Of course I've been back through and updated the lyrics a bit to reflect 6+ years of writing and music experience. (the old beat I originally wrote to was almost half the speed, so some lyrics had to be streamlined to make them say-able!) The Engy and the Medic got the biggest re-writes, because the Engy lyrics were a total tongue twister that was unsayable at this speed and because I'd actually already recycled the Medic's original verse to be used in my Surgeon Simulator song.
I moved house recently and knew I'd have to take several weeks off from working on videos to do so, so now seemed like the perfect time to resurrect this project and have someone else make a video for me for the first time. And who better than the magnificent Harry101UK? We'd been talking about the idea of doing this project for the longest time and I'm so grateful to Harry for stepping up and spending the last couple of months to make this incredible animation.
And I'm equally grateful to my amazing Patrons who funded the project! Thank you to every one of you. I'm immensely proud of this video and I'm thrilled to be able to share it with you all after so many years!

LYRICS:
SCOUT:
Watch out! The scout's out and about.
Running around, bringing bonks right down on your scalp
Do you even know who you're talking to here?
I'm a streak of greased lightning, keep fighting for years
I'm a stunner, number one run and gunner
My beats bring the heat 'cause I'm a sweet double jumper
Your finger’s on the trigger but before you get to pull it
I'll take a sip of fizz and go whizzing past your bullets
I'm on it like a rocket on a course to freakin' pound ya
Call me Super-Sonic 'cause I'm running rings around ya
I'm a dab hand with a sandman
I'm the baddest in the badlands
I'm a speed freak on a kill streak
See a blur and then it's bang bang
DEMO:
I'm the Demo! Explosions are my M.O.
Tyrant from the highlands getting violent on the bellows
The only thing more volatile than me would be my ammo
I'll leave you blown to pieces while my piece is screaming blammo
Did this have whisky in or was it nitroglycerine?
I'll find out on the way out if I'm spouting flaming p*ss again
'Cause if I live another day my liver might go anyway
And I'd rather go in glory so in war I won't be giving in
I suffer for my art
I've got sulphur on the heart
This tartan Spartan's gonna tear you apart.
Fire shots at the Cyclops, it never ends well
Oh, they're gonna have to glue you back together in hell
SNIPER:
Zoom, red dot
Boom, headshot
Your head's got a new lead clot
Bring you to a dead stop, leave you with your head popped
Another target on the list that can be checked off
'Cause on a mission I am viciously efficient
My vitals just my rifle and a set of jars to p*ss in
When it comes to assassins you could say I'm high-calibre
Yanking my machete from your head like it's Excalibur
No mercy mercenary, I'll take you down like cattle when
My true forte's in 2Fort playing blood sports on the battlements
Spray your brain before you know what's happening
Safe to say, no way that you'll be wearing hats again
If you’re seeing red or you’re feeling blue
If you wanna bust caps and wear them too
If you like warfare in stylish headear
Well have we got the game for you
No there isn’t any greater
Military millinery simulator
We fight all day to find out who’s
The most fashionable faction in TF2
SOLDIER:
Listen up ‘cause I won’t say it again
You'd better not be sissies because war is not a game!
Unless of course it's war games, then I’m all for games
Hope you're keeping score because numerate I sure ain't!
I am good at fighting, ask Sun Tzu
I taught him all he knows in the art of Shovel Fu
Way back in ancient China when I met him one night
He said Soldier’s really cool and the best at winning fights
Now I win all the fight money wherever I go
'Cause my rockets go BOOM then you explode
Now, the army told me that I was crazy
But I wrote this song so I’m clearly amazing
SPY:
Gentlemen, it won't be gentle when
I sneak into your base and steal the faces of your helpless friends
Stealing your briefcase really was a brief case
You think you're smart but I have the intelligence
Be a man! Why do you have to die screaming?
I shoot you, take the loot and take my suit for dry cleaning.
I’m not cheating you ignorant swine
I creep in and sneak things right into your spine
When I fight with my butterfly it stings like a bee
So tonight tell your mother 'hi', give her a kiss from me
I'm debonair with deadly flair, I'm anyone and anywhere
The face your mother wakes to is the last you'll ever see
HEAVY:
I am heavy weapons guy
I make puny babies cry
Want to live? Rule one:
Don't. Touch. My. Gun.
May be slow, no need to rush ya
When i'm rolling with Natascha
Fill you dead with holes we crush ya
Leave you cold like snow in Russia.
That's puny gun! I punch more damage!
Chew you up for lunch like sandvich
Think you can outrun me? Prove it
I'd like to see you outrun bullet
If you’re seeing red or you’re feeling blue
If you wanna bust caps and wear them too
If you like warfare in stylish headwear
Well have we got the game for you
No there isn’t any greater
Military millinery simulator
We fight all day to find out who’s
The most fashionable faction in TF2
ENGINEER:
Howdy! The engineer’s in the field
Farm boy charm with a megaton yield
I’ve got a cranium laced with uranium
Dispense your offense with the weapons I wield
I'm hot stuff, ‘cause I’ve a hundred degrees
So if you boil my blood you’ll get burned on Steam
I'm over qualified to leave you nullified and tan your sorry hide
You'd better run and hide or die by my machines
Just a friendly Engy
Preventing entry with a deadly sentry
Each practical problem I solve, my skill mounts
The only thing higher than my IQ is my kill count
PYRO:
Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!
Emboldened scolding folds of red and gold are my desire!
Its my sacred duty, keep the beauty burning higher
Leave you dismembered in the embers, every felling swells the pyre!
I'm a terror from the nether, something that you've never seen
With a charcoal soul, heart pumping kerosene
You've met your match you'll be a charred patch on the floorboards
I'll strike a match and strike the match off of the scoreboard
What's it matter if my brain's deranged when I snuff you out?
Boy, does it look lovely out! Candy canes and fluffy clouds!
Racking up the kills as I’m cranking up the grill
Easy to blow you away when you're just powder
MEDIC:
Got a little headache? You'd better call the Medic!
Were you wanting anesthetic? Really don’t be so pathetic
That burning is a bird within your sternum that snuck in whilst I was working
But I think a bloody dove is quite a lovely aesthetic
You grazed your knee? Well it seems to me
You need invasive exploratory surgery
See I may have a little uncertainty
Between patient, Specimen? It’s a blur to me.
Get the point of my syringes at your hiney
I’ll Übercharge and buff you 'til you're shiny
I could fix you quick with my medi-gun
The procedure is painless but that’s no fun…
If you’re feeling blue or you’re seeing red
If what’s on your mind’s what’s on your head
Who wants to battle
When there’s catalogues of hats to browse instead?
It’s not how far you push the cart
What matters is the noble art
Of dressing heads in dandy threads
To wear whilst you are blown apart
If you’re seeing red or you’re feeling blue
If you wanna bust caps and wear them too
If you like warfare in stylish headwear
Well have we got the game for you
No there isn’t any greater
Military millinery simulator
We fight all day to find out who’s
The most fashionable faction in TF2

08/15/2021 @slakmansauce3390: This guy can do anything.
What next, a Danganronpa song?
08/15/2021 @cocoandfriends2234: This really is an awesome song to listen to
08/15/2021 @owensleighty565: You perfectly summed up the entirety of TF2.
08/15/2021 @Diarmuhnd: Thank you , I was feeling blue today and your vid turned my frown upside down.
Have a fun weekend and stay safe.
08/15/2021 @c.b.-: Stupendium's computer is a Stupentium! That got me to laugh out loud and scare my roommates, since I was listening via headphones. :D
08/15/2021 @lim.6535: It's so great to see Harry101uk's channels name pretty much anywhere
08/15/2021 @AndrewD8Red: Stupes, what's a guy gotta do to get on your list of Patreon Patrons?!

08/15/2021 @okamithelegoperson: IT'S ABOUT TIME YOUR SONG GENIUS WAS PAIRED WITH THIS MASTERPIECE OF A GAME!!
08/15/2021 @justyamihimawari9137: @slakmansauce3390 i like the idea
08/15/2021 @Nintyuk-AT: I wish I could Buy this Track but Google Play Music Has Shut Down so there's no way to buy it straight up any more.
08/15/2021 @Bushman_701: Are there outfits your personal favorites when they start singing?
08/15/2021 @TheMan83554: There's a mistake in your lyrics. The video has "I'm the Demo! Boom goes my MO" not "I'm the Demo! Explosions are my M.O." like the comment does.
08/15/2021 @Animefreakess: Dayum! I'm jealous of the different accents you can do... Any tips??
08/15/2021 @renaldysupit1867: Hi, i'm from indonesia

08/15/2021 @Qu1nie_izk3wl: why is the like number 666
08/15/2021 @gloriasolis8544: Hey i have question did you do all the voices or did you have people do some because some of the voices are pretty accrete
08/15/2021 @NatetheConductor: For Demo it say, Explosion are my M.O, it’s supposed to say boom goes my M.O
08/15/2021 @bowenlavalley3297: Hey pyro mphn mphn mphn I’ve always wanted to do that -ms pauling
08/15/2021 @no.1catlover: I love Tf2 looks a Rap I love it
08/15/2021 @AndrewD8Red: @TheStupendium
Ah, that explains it. I'm only in "Cheapskate Tier" patronage.
Don't let that single monthly dollar go to your head!
08/15/2021 @mlgproplayer2915: Amazing!
08/15/2021 @airy2672: alternate? oh boy ive seen it and all i can say about these two endings is..
..y e s.
08/15/2021 @homeboiizzz8436: What about the civilian rap?
08/15/2021 @evil_duckling4714: You should do another song like this but with rainbow 6 siege
08/15/2021 @jose13lr88: @MageMantis89 general kenobi!
08/15/2021 @donjones8788: Among us one
08/15/2021 @puff7306: All I’ll say is... based on a few vids I’ve seen it doesn’t seem like Pyro knows that they’re killing anyone
08/15/2021 @kinyt3887: After trying to type the entire song out to impress my friends, I can say for sure that the lyrics are MUCH, MUCH longer than the song, which makes the feat of The Stupendium typing them all out in a comment even more... stupendous!
08/15/2021 @puff7306: @kinyt3887 good one
08/15/2021 @puff7306: @kinyt3887 Nobody is born cool, except of course, “People who put the lyrics of their songs in the comments/description” :)
08/15/2021 @acethehunter7898: @TheStupendium be honest somebody used a pringles can for pyro lol still great job on the song
08/15/2021 @yourlocalfestivefurry354: pyro doesn't know he's lighting people on fire he has "provision" that's the only issue with this song
08/15/2021 @yourlocalfestivefurry354: @puff7306 im pretty sure it's in his goggles or something that gives him provision like the provision goggles as an item in the game that makes screams laughs and stuff he just has that on all the time at least I hope as schizophrenia isn't really like that I don't have it but I know people who do pyro might have "alive in wonderland syndrome" if its not the goggles
08/15/2021 @puff7306: @yourlocalfestivefurry354 either way, pyro should probably take some medication (not from the medic, he’s insane) to treat those hallucinations
08/15/2021 @yourlocalfestivefurry354: @puff7306 why either way? if its the pyrovision then he just needs to take off his goggles
08/15/2021 @puff7306: @yourlocalfestivefurry354 oh.. ok sorry my brain ain’t functioning today
08/15/2021 @fungigp7692: the harry?
08/15/2021 @yourlocalfestivefurry354: @puff7306 its ok common mistake idk how I guess its a neurotypical thing or something : )
08/15/2021 @Reginald_Ritmo: @slakmansauce3390 yo come back here in a year.
08/15/2021 @puff7306: @yourlocalfestivefurry354 I be tired
08/15/2021 @wubble4045: This is awesome! But... Heavy is firing a natasha in the animation, yet the stock mini gun firing sound plays, its the only thing out of place, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING HOW YOU GOT PYRO IN TOO!
08/15/2021 @bqonm742: The lines “oh, you grazed your knee? Well it seems to me; you need invasive exploratory surgery”
And “the procedure’s painless, but that’s no fun”
Seem like words Medic would actually say.
08/15/2021 @boltmakesskins8134: Assuming that the 4th costume department is the final one (as in you would only have four), looking at the size and the amount of hats that could possibly fit, multiplied by four; then you're right. Nobody has that many hats. Assuming you mean all cosmetics and not just hats specifically, it would take more than 10 to store all of them, however this does not include any from the workshop (Number of storage units would be so big I wouldn't bother)
08/15/2021 @danboisoepic4544: Good stuff as always
08/15/2021 @Roly-305: Can to do a part 2 of the fall guys rap?
08/15/2021 @Roly-305: Just a idea
08/15/2021 @Reginald_Ritmo: Finnaly a suitable replacement for rick may.
08/15/2021 @Yougotcaged102: @TheStupendium May I ask if you're going to make more TF2 raps like this? Because I need more of this in my life
08/15/2021 @TMOComedyy: is the pyro vision part intentionally missing?
08/15/2021 @Reginald_Ritmo: @TMOComedyy ??
08/15/2021 @maxousan: @TheStupendium what the sniper is using is as kukri but nice rhymes anyway
08/15/2021 @НикитаБрусницын-о8ш: 5:11 Right to Stupendium there's a familiar austronaut helmet
08/15/2021 @ramilmendoza5392: You forgot a line of this song
I think this is it?
Stupendium:
“Nobody has that many hats,It’s ridiculous”
08/15/2021 @paulgamer7529: Thank u for this song!
08/15/2021 @beastman2211: I love how he took the time to write the lyrics in the comments for all the people who need it
08/15/2021 @TheStupendium: @maxousan A Kukri is a type of Machete. The lyric is still accurate. ;)
08/15/2021 @TheStupendium: @beastman2211 Keep in mind I already wrote the song. All I have to do is paste the lyrics, they were already written down. :P
08/15/2021 @TheStupendium: @gloriasolis8544 I am all of the characters except Heavy and Soldier. They were played by Harry101UK. :)
08/15/2021 @Midnight890: Feel red instead
08/15/2021 @airy2672: Most of the Animation was from the “Meet Thr Crew Series”
Was it reanimated or was it intentional? I might have to ask Harry but if you can ask him that would be a delight. Thank you.
@The Stupendium
08/15/2021 @chaire7: The song is awsome, but on spotify, it is a different version
08/15/2021 @lizardmanplays6891: Nice
08/15/2021 @Nastee-The-Slug: Um, stupendium, heavy's gun is named sasha, not natasha 😅
08/15/2021 @notobenex5538: Где вы берёте костюмы для видео где ты участвуешь виде реального человека?
Я знаю что вы меня без переводчика не поймёте но всё же я просто хочу это спросить.
08/15/2021 @austinkentner1771: Idk if anyone else noticed this but why does the comment say, "explosions are my M.O." but the song says "boom goes my M.O."?
08/15/2021 @topfranluis1: Lil mistake in the lyrics: It goes, boom goes my M.O, not explosions are my M.O
08/15/2021 @beelhybees2109: Hey Stupen can you make a karaoke version of this?
08/15/2021 @RaiderFox209: It's so beautiful I love it.
08/15/2021 @wta1518: Harry's was better. Nothing is cuter than a turret with a companion cube hat.
08/15/2021 @twitchforce6976: Hello stupendium! A slight request to edit the lyrics, you have written for demo that the lyrics are "explosions are my M.O.", but he says "Boom goes my M.O." I knkw.its not critical, I just noticed and thought I'd let you know :)
08/15/2021 @FluffyPrincess888: Im an Engie main and i love this
08/15/2021 @tubers93840: How l- How long?
08/15/2021 @rooknizan2923: Great song dude, keep it up!
08/15/2021 @SuperDurp: why can i put view less on this
08/15/2021 @SkeptkS: Damn!
08/15/2021 @kristophershepard2563: The ‘double jumper’ wordplay was a nice touch.
08/15/2021 @RainbowsMakeMeCry: It says headear in the first time the chorus is sung
