Thank you

I actually think it's pretty cool there is a group of students on Team Paragon who gets together on any given night in order to make up songs like this. I'll start recording them and posting them. We tend to do re-makes of existing songs, but we can get pretty creative! There's nothing better than a good song about first I like!

Can someone take the aduio+lyrics and put it on youtube? If they allow it..
I cant download it from the FIRST website...

Its ridiculous! I feel bad for them, because they are trying hard.

But since the 1990's rap music has slowly, but steadily, lost popularity. And in the past half of a decade its dropped significantly in sales and airplay with the rise of electropop.

I know they are trying to appeal to our generation, but next time can they find a producer who doesnt sound like Timbaland, Kanye, and Lil' Wayne got together to make a joke?

This rap was not my favorite, but it was oddly catchy.

It made me think back to my favorite piece of FIRST music, does anyone else remember Dr. Joe Johnson's song from 2005?

Triple Play, the game is Triple Play
Tetra tic-tac-toe, lets see how this match goes...

The robotics song in post # 23 here has never been recorded, and it's not FIRST, but if you're a Weird Al fan, it might have some appeal.

OMG are you serious?! Oh man, now I REALLY wish I could have gone to Atlanta this year....
That is a HUGE pet peeve of mine, too! I bet if we printed out the lyrics for the rap it would be full of grammatical and spelling errors.

bahahahhahaha since when did rappers like jay-z, kanye and the ying yang twins decide to record for FIRST?! awesome song!

I can't recall it from the fist time they played it but if it's worse than those two abominations then I have no intention on listening to it ever again,

I'm kind of confused as to why this song was commissioned. A large part of the appeal of rap is the subject matter discussed in most other rap songs in addition to the style of music. Simply substituting that for FIRST themes isn't suddenly going to make anyone like FIRST. It reminds me of all of those stupid anti-bullying or anti-drug "songs" that my school always tried to push on me; no matter how much I agreed with the message, these things never helped.

You are not. I not only want to never hear it again, I desperately want that two minutes of my life back.

Truth. This is the wrong way to try to make supernerd-dom cool. All this does is take otherwise cool supernerds and make them look... exactly how we do not want nerds to look.

This was health-class-self-esteem-video parody made reality.

Truly awful.

It sounded much much better at Atlanta.
