We Are Number One

"We Are Number One" is a song from the Icelandic kids' show LazyTown. It is performed by Robbie Rotten and his doppelgangers and is a meme on SiIvaGunner. 
== History ==
LazyTown first aired on August 16 2004 and originally ended on October 15, 2007, lasting two seasons. In 2013, the series was revived for two more seasons, which lasted from March 13, 2013 to October 13, 2014, with the series having 78 episodes in total. The series is an educational kids' show, which teaches the importance of living a healthy life style, by doing things such having a healthy diet and exercising. This is primarily shown through the main characters Stephanie and the super hero Sportacus. The series' main antagonist, Robbie Rotten is against these messages and constantly tries to put a stop to them. 
On October 3, 2014, the Season 4 episode "Robbie's Dream Team" aired. In the episode, Robbie hires assistance in stopping Sportacus. The henchmen end up being doppelgangers of himself who aren't villains, but instead performers named Bobbie, Flobbie and Tobbie. Because of this, Robbie decides to perform a song teaching the three how to be villains, that song being "We Are Number One". 
On July 25, 2015, the song's music video was uploaded to the official LazyTown YouTube channel. The music video notably contains multiple clips from the "Robbie's Dream Team" episode which don't appear in the original performance of the song.

The first rip with "We Are Number One" was "Hilltop Chase - Kirby Super Star Ultra", which uploaded to the channel on September 2, 2016. This was later followed by the second rip using the song, "We Are Number One - LazyTown: The Video Game", which quickly became the most viewed rip on the channel, being the first to gain a million views, leading to "We Are Number One" becoming a meme and frequently ripped track on the channel that has continued being regularly used in rips to this day. 
== Legacy outside of SiIvaGunner ==
After the upload of "We Are Number One - LazyTown: The Video Game", "We Are Number One" became a large meme source. A large amount of earlier memes were lazy word replacement remixes, riding off the previous word replacement memes based on The Nutshack and other sources. However, more well made and creative edits and of the song and its music video began popping up as well. 
In October 2016, it was announced that Robbie Rotten's actor, Stefán Karl Stefánsson had been diagnosed with bile duct cancer. To raise awareness and money to pay for his treatments, a GoFundMe campaign was created by the LazyTown crew. SiIvaGunner took notice of this and linked the page on his Twitter to raise awareness. Many "We Are Number One" memes from other channels also linked to the page to raise awareness. 
Stefán and other members of the LazyTown crew took notice of the song becoming a meme and decided to do a livestream where Stefán and the actors for his doppelgangers perform the song live, as well as have the song's composer, Máni Svavarsson, go over how he came up with the song and release its stems so making high quality rips and other edits of it would be easier. He thanked the fans for everything, as he continued going through procedures to have his cancer cured, and SiIvaGunner and others continued making memes of the song and Robbie in general. 
On August 21, 2018, Stefán sadly passed away from bile duct cancer. While a large amount of the greater Internet made various tributes to late actor, SiIvaGunner decided not to, for reasons such as not wanted people to think they were capitalizing off Stefan's death and not being able to come up with a fitting enough tribute in general.

Hey!
We Are Number One!
Hey!
We Are Number One!
Now listen closely
Here's a little lesson in trickery
This is going down in history
If you wanna be a Villain Number One
You have to chase a superhero on the run
Just follow my moves, and sneak around
Be careful not to make a sound
(Shh)
(No, don't touch that!)
We Are Number One!
Hey!
We Are Number One!
We Are Number One!
Ha ha ha!
Now look at this net, that I just found
When I say go, be ready to throw
Go!
(Throw it at him, not me!)
(Ugh, let's try something else)
Now watch and learn, here's the deal
He'll slip and slide on this banana peel!
(Ha ha ha! [gasp] What are you doing?!)
Ba-ba-biddly-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
We Are Number One!
Hey!
Ba-ba-biddly-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Villain Number One!
Ba-ba-biddly-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
We Are Number One!
Hey!
Ba-ba-biddly-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
We Are Number One!
Hey!
We Are Number One!
Hey!
We Are Number One!
Hey! Hey!
