This is a rough and hard-hitting piece, best used as background music to a stressful, strained scene, or tense and suspenseful content. Heavy distorted guitars begin the song, and at 0:41 the soaring synth leads play the melody while the powerful drums kick in. A high-pitched pulsating synth effect carries the last seventeen seconds to the final punch.

Making a musical mockery using the melody from schoolyard taunts. This pieces rawks out. Major props to the drummer. This is the slower of a set of 2 pieces with the same content.
