Countdown Music

Prior to the start of the show, Koop runs a countdown that showcases the games planned for the night while Koop works with R4 on making sure everything is running smoothly prior to the start. Historically, there was background music comprised of royalty free tunes, but starting with episode #619 ("We Witnessed an x5") Koop introduced a full selection of custom made songs, each with some relevance to GFtDS lore, comedic style, and/or have a special backstory. The following are those songs, and the significance to their lyrics.

• "Angry Sleeps": Koop messing around in Udio. A song about how Koop will occasionally go to bed early and angry as a means of dealing with a relatively bad or upsetting day.

• "Back Gravy": Koop messing around in Udio. A song about Back Gravy.

• "Be Sure to Wash Your Hands": Koop messing around in Udio. A song in reference to Jason's closing remarks a few times when ending the show to "Wash your hands".

• "Big Time": Koop messing around in Udio. A song about Big Follows.

• "CC Song 1": Koop messing around in Garageband. A song created on Garageband by Koop, who was still trying to figure out how to create songs in Garageband, and his cat, CC (Koop's daughter named the cat Chocolate Cake, but Koop referred to her as CC for short), was in the room, so he made a reference to her when recording his vocals.

• "Exercise Beat": Koop messing around in Udio. A song about Triscuit Exercise of the Week.

• "Glden Bull": Koop messing around in Udio. A song related to a series of spam emails Koop has been receiving regularly for almost half a decade on almost a daily basis, which he manually forwards to Jason. Each email is somehow different, and is sent between 1-2 times a day from "Golden Bull" and directed to someone the GldenBull website thinks is named Emma. Koop never signed up for these emails, but the fact he gets them humors him. Most of the emails claim to offer Emma some sort of Native American shaman ceremonies for a cost and the result is promised to be unfathomable wealth. Other emails are warnings of impending doom if Emma doesn't pay for Golden Bull's services to ward off evil spirits or whatnot. If you go to the website there is only one image of the infamous Golden Bull, and if you inspect the image it's aptly named, "character.webp", so Koop threw in a little line that wasn't in the emails related to this insight. Another fun fact is that the website, despite being touted as a Native American shaman living in the US, is actually owned and operated by someone in Reykjavik, Iceland according to the ICANN database.

• "Golden Naps": Koop messing around in Udio. A simple song about someone who finds joy in watching someone sleeping and hoping they'll pee their pants in their sleep, only to get too excited when it happens and wakes up the sleeping individual. This one was particularly fun to create as unlike most of the Udio songs, Koop let the AI generate all the lyrics based on Koop's prompts.

• "Gravy Intruders": Koop messing around in Udio. Another Udio song where Koop gave AI full reign of the lyrics based on his prompts. He thought it would be fun to try some different musical stylings, and the idea of someone who was overly protective of their gravy would be humorous.

• "It's Only Dreamz": Koop messing around in Udio. A song about the time when Koop was in college and took a trip to Japan with his friend, Vavra (RIP), to visit their friend, Clark, who was living there at the time working for a local prefecture teaching and working as a translator. During their trip, Vavra and Koop traveled the country and had many adventures, but when visiting Tokyo the two were needing a place to stay and due to Koop's inability to read Japanese, and Vavra's limited recollection of the language from high school, they ended up accidentally booking a one night stay in a love hotel. When they got to the room the reality of the situation set in when they spotted the heart-shaped bed and only pornographic channels were available on the tv. In the room there was an advertisement for mail-in adult products. The wording of one ad on the pamphlet they found was, "Have you ever dreamed of a flying high," and it became a recurring comical reference from that point on. Vavra slept on the bed that night while Koop insisted on sleeping on a wicker bench which was the only other form of furniture in the room.

• "It's Webbin' Time": Koop messing around in Udio. A song in reference to Koop's rant from Koop's rant about the movie "Madame Web" from episode #610: "The Needful Was Done."

• "Midnight Munchies": Koop messing around in Udio. A song about Jason's snacking habits during the show, but from the perspective of what is to believed the average female viewer.

• "Mowing Hat": Koop messing around in Udio. A song about Jason's amazing mowing hat (hats (plural) now, since his wife got him a bunch of different ones) that he wears when he mows, and sometimes wears on the show.

• "My Song": Koop messing around in Garageband. Koop's first attempt at making a song in Garageband. He was confused by the setup, which is apparent from the song, as the lyrics are his voice modulated and questioning why it played music and then a long silence.

• "Nightwatchings": Koop messing around in Udio. A song about Games From the Drunk Side.

• "Ode to Anna": Koop messing around in Udio. A song about Koop's celebrity crush, Anna Kendrick, with references to the ongoing joke caused by a glitch by Alexa during one of the shows when Alexa stated someone (NOT Anna Kendrick) ran over pedestrians while drunk driving when Koop asked for something related to Anna.

• "Oh Baby": Koop messing around in Udio. Back in middle school, Koop and Jason would hang out at Jason's house playing computer games. In a time before cell phones were commonplace, and with only one pc, when Koop wasn't actively playing on the computer he'd get antsy and spent his time annoying Jason from time to time. Once such annoyance was when Koop turned the wooden chair he was sitting on around, and then lifting his shirt and sticking his belly to the chair. The chair had a decorative hole on the back, which Koop used to showcase his bellybutton. Koop then proceeded to pinch his belly button so it looked like it was talking while referring to it as "Baby Antinaos" and giggling saying, "don't tickle me, Baby Antinaos!" If memory serves me correctly, Jason was very much annoyed and wanted to punch Koop.

• "Panda Express Anticipation": Koop messing around in Udio. An ongoing joke when playing the game "Drunken Wrestlers 2" on the show is from an episode where a frequent player (and apparently someone with close ties to the developer of the game) Koop and Jason would run into, BDK, would show up. During a game Koop made up a story in the in-game chat that after the fights BDK was going to take Jason and Koop to Panda Express. They would continue this announcement frequently during the game and even got other players involved who stated they knew BDK when they wouldn't see him join in on their game.

• "Perfectly Grilled": Koop messing around in Udio. A song regarding Koop and Jason's ongoing argument about how each prefer ordering their steaks. Since Koop wrote this song, he's defending his stance that "well done" is morally wrong.

• "Pepe's Melody": Koop messing around in Udio. Koop's mother was a grade school teacher, and occasionally would bring home classroom animals over the summer break. One such classroom pet was a guinea pig named Pepe. Koop found out that when he pet him on his back, Pepe would lift his head up in the air and squeal loudly. It seemed comical, so Koop would play Blur's song "Tax Collector" and would pet him to show Jason how Pepe would react. This happened a few times, but the practice was promptly stopped after a few weeks when Koop noticed that the poor animal had been ripping his own hair out. What seemed like a happy time for the animal was actually torment, and Koop felt horrible.

• "Peppernips, Where Art Thou": Koop messing around in Udio. During a call Koop had with The Jimmer where he was helping Jimmer with some computer issues, he was asking about Jimmer's pets. Koop couldn't remember one of his dog's names, but for some reason thought "Peppernips" was the name (it was actually "Cricket"). Koop thought the dog name he thought of was humorous, so he thought having AI create a song off of a prompt where a dog owner is frustrated that his dog only wants to spend time with his neighbor might be entertaining, so he created it. The song has nothing to do with Cricket, though.

• "Power of Maneeeeee": Koop messing around in Udio. A sarcastic song Koop wrote about his ongoing frustration with Star Wars "The Acolyte," the show's horrible writing, and the cast and crew seeming to not understand (nor respect) the original source material.

• "Private Numbers": Koop messing around in Udio. A song Koop made using AI to write the lyrics for based on a prompt Koop thought would be funny where the singer is singing a children's song and asking the kids to sneak into their parent's wallet to provide the singer with their mom and dad's personal information found on their driver's license, credit cards, etc.

• "Put on the Popcorn": Koop messing around in Garageband. A song Koop wrote in Garageband that is just nonsense lyrics he came up with on the fly while testing the application out.

• "Rasslemania": Koop messing around in Udio. A song about Rasslemania.

• "Saucy Serenade": Koop messing around in Udio. A song about Ketchup Boy.

• "Silent Predators": Koop messing around in Udio. A song Koop coaxed the AI into writing lyrics for in which diapers and underwear were carnivorous.

• "Silent Torment": Koop messing around in Udio. A song Koop wrote surrounding his phobia of mimes.

• "Skunkape Serenade": Koop messing around in Udio. A song about a past coworker of Koop, Jason, and Jimmer (and even Josh and Jarrod at one point). Although she pronounced most everything else normally, when it came to pronouncing "boxes" or "checks" she would pronounce them "botses" and "chets." This wouldn't have been as big of an issue except she had to announce over the company's intercom daily, "You may now order 'chets' and source." Over time this became something the guys dreaded to hear. Jimmer had come up with the anecdote of her home life and the colorful moniker where her husband would hear her say "botses of chets" and her husband would respond in a gruff voice, "bite yer tongue!"

• "Stream of Streams": Koop messing around in Udio. A song about how Koop always says he has to pee really bad.

• "Sweet Cinamonz": Koop messing around in Udio. A song about Fireball cinnamon whiskey, which Koop refers to on the show as "Sweet Cinamonz."

• "Tacos and Benji": Koop messing around in Garageband. Another song Koop wrote using Garageband very late at night. Zero direction on this one, he just started creating and recording his voice. The title of the song has nothing to do with the lyrics, and the only thing that can be taken from the lyrics is someone breaking their wrists by improperly performing a handstand.

• "That Kind of Show": Koop messing around in Udio. A song about Koop's catchphrase: "It's a family show?".

• "The Reason Why": Koop messing around in Udio. Back in middle school, Koop was at his friend, Tim's, house playing video games. While Tim was becoming increasingly frustrated with a level, Koop found one of Tim's sibling's stuff animal teddy bears that had silk gloves attached to it's hands. Koop then puppeteered the animal and made up an annoying song which the lyrics were "The reason why you cannot play, is because I wear white gloves." The song was annoying, the bear was annoying, and the fact it was wearing gloves turned out to be overly annoying, which if memory serves Koop correctly, caused Tim to throw the bear across the room in a fit of rage.

• "The Question": Koop messing around in Udio. During their middle school days, Koop and Jason had a friend named Jimmy who loved nothing more than to talk about Nintendo's "WrestleMania Steel Cage." Every opportunity he had he would approach Jason or Koop and ask them a series of questions, in succession, with increased intensity, and often repeating himself. Occasionally he'd add some personal anecdotes about his own gaming experiences amongst the questioning, but overall the experience of the line of questioning was consistent enough to the point to be predictable.

• "The Gazelle Place": Koop messing around in Udio. While working together during the early 2000's in their office job, Koop decided to fill a break in conversation by making up a fabricated story to Jason starting with, "Remember when..." The tale of "The Gazelle Place" was a simple one. Jason was excited to go on a road trip with Koop, and Koop got him a package of "yellow and blue make green seal" Ziplock bags to play with on the journey. When they got there, everyone there were full of smiles. There was a group of nuns, and some girl scouts or boy scouts, and some other people all excited and happy to see the gazelles. But while telling the story, Koop would change the tone and say how horrible it was what they were doing there, and extend the reveal of what it was as long as possible. When it came to the reveal (after a HUGE buildup) it was revealed that they were washing the gazelles. This story went on to be retold during Jimmer's radio show, "Wooden Breakfast" when Koop called in as a psychologist and played a recording of a patient retelling the story fairly close to the original tale. The story now lives on in musical form in this song.

• "Unrequited Partnership": Koop messing around in Udio. A song about Koop's continued attempt to somehow get Triscuit to sponsor the show, and leans into the fact that he thinks they blocked his email since they completely stopped responding to his emails years ago.

• "Wanna Muffin": Koop messing around in Udio. Based on a true tale of events that transpired while hanging out at his friend, Tim's house back in middle school, Koop and Tim were sitting on the floor in the basement playing Super Nintendo and one of Tim's little brothers was heard approaching them from behind. Koop turned around to see Tim's brother extending his hand out holding a muffin while saying "Wanna muffin?" while his other hand was shoved down the front of his pants. Koop was appalled and declined the offer of the muffin, and the boy shrugged and began eating the muffin and walked off. After Tim's brother left to go upstairs, Koop explained to Tim why Koop couldn't stop laughing.

• "Watchful Eye": Koop messing around in Udio. A song about Koop's cat, KK (literally named "KK" after "Koop's Kitten"), who is almost always present during the show, watching over everything that transpires during the program.

• "We Are the Home Girls": Koop messing around in Udio. A song about a time during the early 2000's when Koop, Jason, and Justin (AKA: Athiest Boy) lived together as room mates. During this time in history, Jason and Koop surprised Justin with a very basic computer for him to get online with. After getting him set up with his new system there was a humorous "Love on AOL" entry they found that had a very jolly looking lady whose screenname was titled "We're the Homegirls!" Jason and Koop made this Justin's desktop background for him, which he was "overjoyed" with, given that at the time he didn't know how to undo it. Around the same period of time another friend of theirs, Vavra, had convinced someone to bring a can of bread (yes, this is a real thing) to the Pizza Hut he worked at asking for "Apple Fritter" while Vavra hid in the back.

• "Weave of Resilience": Koop messing around in Udio. A song about baskets. There's not much more to say about that. Just baskets.
