## Lyrics

Kinda bug and kinda snack

Try to catch 'em in your trap

Feed somebody and you'll see:

We are whatever we eat

Find 'em hiding in the sand

Tearing up a ketchup patch

Come to Snaktooth Island and discover:

It's Bugsnax!

I heard that somewhere far off in the ocean

There lies an island where the creatures roam

A famed explorer tells me they're delicious and yet

They're hitherto unknown

You might think it sounds impossible

'Til you've seen a carrot crawl

Kinda bug and kinda snack

Try to catch 'em in your trap

Feed somebody and you'll see:

We are whatever we eat

Find 'em hiding in the sand

Tearing up a ketchup patch

Come to Snaktooth Island and discover:

It's Bugsnax!

Oh-oo-oh~

It's Bugsnax

Oh-oo-oh~

Talkin' 'bout Bugsnax

Oh-oo-oh~

It's Bugsnax

And if the rumour's not complete baloney

Then it's the story of the century

So grab a journal, listen up and make some new friends

To solve the mystery

An expedition, thirteen-strong

of Grumpuses who all set off

Seeking out a better life

on Snaktooth Island they did find

A tasty quest to fill the hole

That many feel inside their soul

Venture deep to reach the truth

And maybe you'll learn something too

You might think it sounds impossible

'Til you've seen a sandwich climb a wall

Kinda bug and kinda snack

Try to catch 'em in your trap

Feed somebody and you'll see:

We are whatever we eat

Find 'em hiding in the sand

Tearing up a ketchup patch

Come to Snaktooth Island and discover:

It's Bugsnax

Oh-oo-oh~

It's Bugsnax

Oh-oo-oh~

Talkin' 'bout Bugsnax

Oh-oo-oh~

It's Bugsnax

Oh-oo-oh

Everyone's talkin' 'bout Bugsnax

## Fiction

The song is sung from The Journalist's perspective embarking on their adventure to write the story of the century. The lyrics show a self-motivated interest and curiosity to not only learn about Bugsnax but about the Expedition Team as well.

While not present throughout the game, the song plays during the end credits of Bugsnax where Cromdo is shown to sing it during karaoke.

## It's Bugsnax! 7" Single vinyl

* Screenprinted Strawberry 7” vinyl
* Scratch-N-Sniff Jacket
* Music by Kero Kero Bonito
* Album Art by Young Horses and Kero Kero Bonito

From the moment of our very first “bugsnax” sighting — a large-eyed strawberry, crawling around on its leaf limbs — it was clear that the weird world of Bugsnax was something incredibly special, and a feat that only Young Horses, the eclectic developer behind Octodad: Dadliest Catch, could conjure. iam8bit is so jazzed — and a bit hungry — to introduce an exclusive 7” vinyl single featuring “It’s Bugsnax!” the catchy, full-length theme song from the British indie pop delight, Kero Kero Bonito. What you heard in the trailer was a mere sliver of the full track, served up on delicious (and translucent) strawberry wax, lovingly screen-printed with seeds on the B-Side. To keep the album fresh, the vinyl is snuggly tucked into a scratch-n-sniff jacket (that smells like actual strawberries). Infuse your nose and ears with these delectable scents and sounds, in anticipation of Bugsnax arriving on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 for Holiday 2020.
