Earlier in Ashton & Jamie’s shift, we challenged the community to come up with their best interpretation of Desert Bus Squad Goals, based off of their opening video at the start of this evening’s shift.
The winning submission was by Sohkrates, who submitted a reworking of the lyrics to Alessandra Cara’s song, Wild Things:
Rotate the couches, clear performance spaces
Bob your head, they’re drivin’ here
But you and I wear kigaroos we, cannot win or lose
Cereal rules, no problem here
Let ‘em put in whatever first, seriously there’s no problem here
So gather all the online now, we’ll play Overwatch and gather ‘round
We don’t care what character they play, just no Mei
And we will leave the foe’s crosshairs on those who say they won’t come here
We’ll guard the point ourselves
So hey (hey) push a button and this is how we dab
Lots o’ trollin’, we have no swears, and if you don’t like our dankest memes then (hey)
Leave our bone zone, cause if you don’t heed our policies we
Give no apologies for glass shark
These are what our squad goals are (Oh yeah, we’ll drive all night, on Desert Bus yeah)
These are what our squad goals are (Oh yeah, we’ll drive all night, on Desert Bus yeah)
These are what our squad goals are
We get breathless with these challenges you pledge us to tread,
I’d rather be a corgi instead
Never did get into the in-crowd
The sick kids are cool to me
They’re all braver than we are
So hey (hey) push a button and this is how we dab
Lots o’ trollin’, we have no swears, and if you don’t like our dankest memes then (hey)
Leave our bone zone, cause if you don’t heed our policies we
Give no apologies for glass shark
These are what our squad goals are (Oh yeah, we’ll drive all night, on Desert Bus yeah)
These are what our squad goals are (Oh yeah, we’ll drive all night, on Desert Bus yeah)
We will make a space for every shape and race
We will give to kids, and let ‘em get a wish (say yay yay yay)
Chat you’re great, for the Desert bucks you make
The Bus will ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
So hey (hey) push a button and this is how we dab
Lots o’ trollin’, we have no swears, and if you don’t like our dankest memes then (hey)
Leave our bone zone, cause if you don’t heed our policies we
Give no apologies for glass shark
These are what our squad goals are (Oh yeah, we’ll drive all night, on Desert Bus yeah)
These are what our squad goals are (Oh yeah, we’ll drive all night, on Desert Bus yeah)
These are what our squad goals are
