Remixes and parodies of We Are Number One followed in the same ironic, earworm-y, and deliberately strange tone as these earlier LazyTown parodies.Ī lot of the takes were posted to the audio-sharing site SoundCloud, usually riffing on the title with a “ We are Number One but…” construction, as in “We Are Number One but it’s just the first eight bars of africa ”. One popular example from 2004 was a remix of the show’s “Cooking by the Book” featuring Lil Jon. It wasn’t the first time songs from LazyTown had been remixed and parodied, though … the quirky show has a very passionate fanbase. The first two covers-”We Are Number One – LazyTown: The Video Game” and “We are Number One (Beta Mix)-LazyTown: The Video Game”- were uploaded to YouTube in September 2016 by popular user Silvagunner, known for her remixes and parodies of video game soundtracks. (Tragically, Stefánsson passed away in August 2018.) To draw attention to the campaign, fans began releasing remixes of the We Are Number One song. We Are Number One first aired in October 2014. That might have been the end of it, but, sadly, Stefán Karl Stefánsson, who played Robbie Rotten, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer in 2016. A GoFundMe campaign to raise money for his treatment was immediately launched.

One part shows Robbie trying to catch Sportacus with a giant butterfly net, for example. As Robbie sing-splains: “If you wanna be a Villain Number One / You have to chase a superhero on the run.” The song, which is super catchy whether you like it or not, features Hungarian klezmer-like melody, and its video visuals are absolutely bananas. In the original We Are Number One song, Robbie Rotten shows his bad-guy buds, Bobbie, Tobbie, and Fobbie Rotten, all the different ways he plans to catch Sportacus. LazyTown is a musical comedy kids’ show (2004–14) from Nickelodeon about the adventures of a young girl named Stephanie who, along with her superhero friend Sportacus, tries to get the lazy residents of LazyTown to be more active-but the villain Robbie Rotten always tries to foil with their plans. The song appeared on the Icelandic English-language television show LazyTown. The saga of how We Are Number One went viral starts with the original song itself.
