Splatoon Song

You've heard all about Splatoon right? And you're excited about it too right? Right! Well I am too and recently the guys at Nintendo Life asked if I'd share my excitement about the game by writing a song about it. Of course I obliged!

I've been eagerly waiting for Splatoon to arrive since it was announced at last year's E3, so writing the song wasn't difficult. When making videos like this I always write the song first (whilst imaging how the lyrics would translate into scenes in my head), then plan a storyboard, then finally record/master the song and film all the scenes I've come up with. I had a lot of fun making this particular video so I hope that you enjoy it.

So here is 'Colourful Death', a song by yours truly about the upcoming Wii U game, Splatoon. Make sure to leave us a comment letting us know if you liked the video and if you are looking forward to the game's release on May 29th! Enjoy!

P.S. I should point out that if there are any KK Slider wannabes out there you can find the lyrics to this song below as well as links to my social media pages, my personal YouTube channel and the official Nintendo Life channel. So get subscribing and never miss a video!

COLOURFUL DEATH (SPLATOON) - LYRICS

When I was just a boy my friends all used to play
Fighting each other but I was afraid
These little bits of plastic had me running away
How hard can it be to play nicely?

They'd run around the fields with pictures in their minds
Of perfect little hideouts that the others won't find
But all I could think was how I'd rather be home
And now I've got a way to play nicely
(If only this was like 10 years ago)

You can take your NERF guns and Laser Quest
I don't need BB guns now I've found this
'Cause I've never seen such a colourful death
And have you seen how cute this squid looks?
Splatoo oo oon, oo oo oon
Splatoo oo oon, oo oo oon

Now I can run around blasting all in my way
Paint everything in sight so I can win this game
And I can beat my friends by practicing every day
But we're online so they're safely away from me
(I never thought a paint roller could be fun)

You can take your NERF guns and Laser Quest
I don't need BB guns now I've found this
'Cause I've never seen such a colourful death
And have you seen how cute this squid looks?

I'll control the splat zones
I'll win every turf war
You think you can win but… ha, think again!
I'll get my splat charger and drown you in ink
And I might treat myself to a brand new pair of shoes

You can take your NERF guns and Laser Quest
I don't need BB guns now I've found this
'Cause I've never seen such a colourful death
And have you seen how cute this squid looks?
Splatoo oo oon, oo oo oon
Splatoo oo oon, oo oo oo
