Lyrics
Yeah, was long ago When I was a small fly Bad kids would be tastin' me They were so mean that I almost wanted to cry They'd stolen my books And they stepped on my shoes They thought it was really funny They were calling me names And I put up with it But I knew there'd come a day When I was strong enough To make them all regret it I bet they all thought I'd just forget it Now I'm a Wall Street Down-sizer And I can get my revenge on all of those guys A corporation analyzer And I will give everyone big surprise 'cause they will all be working for me I'll make them beg for forgiveness Down on their knees ***(talk)*** YO...LITTLE BUDDY BOY, WHAT'S THIS? SITTING DOWN ON THE JOB!! I'm sorry Mr.Snorgywinkle. I'll stand up right away sir, What...?on my tip toes? Where are you putting that clamp? Not there!! ***(talk end)*** Listen to the man... signs your paycheck You gotta go wash my car and clean my house And if you ever wanna have another day of vacation You better make sure don't scratch up my guitar (You're fired!) Take another look at me just Take another look at me just KAPOW!! That's what I'll say if you don't get wise Hey Bully! Take another look at me just Take another look at me just I'm sooo tired Bye-bye!

Here's Wall Street down-sizer's comments
"This is Wall Street in New York. I became powerful in this city, where I was bullied as a small fly. All the guys who bullied me when I was a small fly are currently my employees.
I'll make them realize from now what kinds of mistakes they made... yes, revenge!"
!!
What kind of tragedy is this...!?
Thomas, a well-known Kansai-American in the GFDM series, has a chat, no, he wrote & sang these comic lyrics.
Look forward to listening to this song to find out what kind of tragedy(?) this is.
A hint is that a down-sizer is someone who lays off workers... how scary.

Mokky, if you're looking at this page under a distant sky, it's never too late to send us your replacement comments.
This song was also well received by the pop'n staff, and we immediately decided to include it.
Actually, the song selection loop in the pop'n 8 location test was created by borrowing this song's riffs. Hip hip hooray.
The craftsman ucchie created these notecharts by hand. Personally, this is the most enjoyable chart in pop'n 8, including my own charts.
(My second favorite chart is jet world, which was somehow also created by ucchie, damn it)
When you're about to face recession or be laid off, let's play this song before starting karate.

Due to the overlapping changes in various specifications, circumstances, and songs to be included, this is the 2nd Sir Conga. I'm sorry to everyone on the MAMBO team for me having to create a strange 2P color. And it's nothing, but his body lines look like an enoki mushroom jar. → [1]

The cactus leader and 2 gunmen appeared here together.
I'd be happy if the animations' performance suits this song's cool and playful feeling.
