| Background information |
The Fansong is a song by Dethklok. It is about Dethklok fans and how much Dethklok hates them.
History[]
The Fansong was exclusively revealed to Dethklok fans in Mordhaus for one time only. During the showing, Eric and Edgar Jomfru recorded the audio, and attempted to blackmail Dethklok into paying them for good reviews on their fansite by threatening to release it on the Internet. Their plan failed, however, when Eric was killed by snipers and Edgar was captured and imprisoned.
The Fansong was later released on the Dethalbum.
During live concerts, the Fansong is used as an encore, and no video footage is played.
The guitar solo for the Fansong is noted for its canon-like style: Skwisgaar Skwigelf plays four measures of the solo, and for the next four, Toki Wartooth plays what Skwisgaar just played while Skwisgaar moves onto the next four measures, and so on. Unlike a round, however, which keeps on going, the solo ends after sixteen measures.
Music video[]
The music video for the Fansong is more performance-based than others. It features the band members performing the song in a blue room, but not all at the same time. Rather, one member performs for one beat, before disappearing and being replaced by another. However, there are some occasions when the entire band appears at once.
Although there is a music video for the Fansong, it was not released onto the DVD included with the deluxe edition of the Dethalbum II. Instead, the Fansong is a hidden track, appearing after multiple minutes of silence following the music video for "Go into the Water".
During the part where "DIE" is repeated over and over, if it is paused at any time when it shows Nathan singing, multiple faces of fans and characters can be seen including Dr. Rockzo.

You people out there give us something more than just record sales
You give us something to hate
And we hate you, you brainless mutants
You hunched and blinded mutants
Living in chat rooms
You masturbate on the sheets
Your mothers clean for you
You have lined my pockets
Overflowed with gold
You're living with your parents
And you're 35 years old
You're a bunch of banks
That I'd like to rob
You're my online cash transaction
You're my future stocks
Transfer you like money
To a Swiss account
Spend you on an impulse buy
And zero you all out
Hate (x16)
You sad and putrid losers
Complaining on the couch
Think you're fucking better than us?
You can't leave your house
Deluded little maggots
Fold your arms and frown
Go to work and make me money
Before I put you down
You're a bunch of banks
That I'd like to rob
You're my online cash transaction
You're my future stocks
Transfer you like money
To a Swiss account
Spend you on an impulse buy
And zero you all out
Hate (x16)
I would like to get some sleep
But you keep buying all our things
My overhead is way too deep
For us to not make all these things
It's way too cynical, you see?
Hating what's supporting me
I am not you, I thank the gods
And if I were, I'd die like dogs
Die (x28)
You're a bunch of banks
That I'd like to rob
You're my online cash transaction
You're my future stocks
Transfer you like money
To a Swiss account
Spend you an on impulse buy
And zero you all out
You're a credit card
That I will defile
Every time I max you out
I get a thousand miles
You're a brand new car
That I do not need
Wrap you round a telephone pole
Shrug it off and leave
Just follow me
Down the elevator
Through the gates
Down the stairs
Just keep on walking
Through the hallway
Now open the door
