LYRICS: CHORUS: Do you think the world can ever be fixed? Is America buried? Did it ever exist? We’re you hoping for a life of heavenly bliss? When you stepped out of Vault number 76 Feels like we've waited forever for this Dust off those chips and selection of dips Rehydrate those ancient celery sticks ‘Cause we're gonna have a party down in 76 VERSE 1: Today's a day for celebration We've been locked away but we've been making preparations Sweep away decay and all the waves of devastation Now we're at the dawning of the day of reclamation Preservation of the nation Is a fate that we’ve waited every day in dedication To build a haven - pave the way for generations Of what's left of Vault-Tec participation Deep beneath the wastes of Virginia’s A place where we could have stayed safe for millennia But tensions get frayed after just a few decades So we're certain that the surface oughta be a little friendlier Shine your shoes because the hour is at hand for Joining hand in hand with fellow man to save the land, so I packed some dandy apples in a satchel with some BlamCo Stepped out of the gate to meet the neighbours and it's BLAMMO Oh. CHORUS: Can the world ever be fixed? Is America buried? Did it ever exist? We’re you hoping for a life of heavenly bliss? When you stepped out of Vault number 76 Are you lost in awe? Well you'd better be quick Build a hovel from the rubble whilst the reverie sticks 'Cause you've gotta build a heaven using death as the bricks If you want to have a life out of 76 VERSE 2: I don't want to se the world on fire But your house will do just fine Got you thinking maybe now's a prudent time Add some traps to send the rowdy mutants flying Now I’m an optimist but was it a bad decision To make a mission out of living in a vicious cataclysm? Sitting in the wilderness and killing for provisions A Vault may have it's faults but all the halls were air-conditioned Every dweller went from level-headed fella to a villain So forgive me if it's not what I envisioned But with citizens selected out of brilliant civilians I thought that some decorum whilst exploring was a given Hi Joe! How you doing today? I haven’t seen you since the vault barbeque last May! Alright! Awh, jeez. Okay! You can keep the carcass - I’ll be on my way! BRIDGE: So country road, take me home To a place that won't irradiate my bones Hear a silly little ditty with a playful tone Transmitting from the middle of the danger zone So country road, take me there To a pretty little crater in the open air It's a bright new future so don't be scared Because everything glows with a bright green glare CHORUS: Can the world can ever be fixed? Is America buried? Did it ever exist? We’re you hoping for a life of heavenly bliss? When you stepped out of Vault number 76 Is murdering suburbians getting your kicks? Well we ask you to refrain ‘til population is fixed Rest assured that every resident was carefully picked To be remembered as a member of 76 VERSE 3: Vault-Tec reminds you Your purpose on the surface is to work to survive through Adversity by working with the persons beside you Nah, I never liked you - I'm gonna craft some ammo and fight you There was a time when I'd smile and pretend that I liked all my friends When society ends, tell me why the pretence? Bring a violent end to that white picket fence You missed my recital again! Now there's no keeping up with the Joneses I've broken their noses I’ve stolen their clothes and fed them to the roaches That ought to show him for mowing his lawn whilst I'm trying to focus On my crosswords Cross words are through now Domestic disputes now descend into shootouts Truth is Dianne - I hate your pecan pie This is for bringing one round to my luau! Everyone's had that fantasy to be the last of humanity You might think that it's rad to see What we'll grow from this rad disease The mutations are past belief Who'd have guessed these nuclear arms Would give me literally nuclear arms? I hear ground zero has some loot we can farm So what is the harm? If we drop another couple of bombs? Who'd have thought the horrors of war could be awesome? When chalking them up against the boredom Before things were torched and We’re forced to reform from assortments of morons A quarter century's quarrels laid dormant Pip boys and torches - Blood in the porches Squash clubs and potlucks and nuclear launches Setting the Scorched on my mother-in-law is More fun than anything before the war was! From Boston down to the Mojave You gotta get a hobby Like slaying all your neighbours And displaying all the bodies So let's all go to the lobby And get ourselves a treat

I love the irony: Fallout 76 wasn't really like this song at all, but it's almost exactly on point for the TV show, so it's actually Bethesda that ultimately came around to Stupe's point of view.

Wasn't expecting this song to be remastered in... ever, really.

The lines “I don’t want to set the world on fire, but your house will do just fine” and “ Country Road take me home to a place that won’t irradiate my bones” are perfection

That nuclear arms giving literal nuclear arms line lives rent free in my head when I play anything with nuclear equipment

I know this song probably wasn't very popular but it's one of my all time favorites from you

Thanks for remastering this one! And thanks to Bethesda for always delivering quality pro- [connection to server has been lost.]

I love how the song sounds *sharper* it adds a nice touch of hopelessness yet ambition to the song. Perfectly encapsulating fallout.

Ah, finally, a remastered soundtrack for our post-apocalyptic party plans! 'Dust off those chips and selection of dips' still hits home like a radroach in the kitchen. And who would've thought 'rehydrating ancient celery sticks' would become a survival staple? But if we're going to reconstruct America, might as well do it with flair and a catchy beat. Now, excuse me while I fine-tune my mutant-slaying dance moves to this remastered bop!

You know it's a good day when The Stupendium uploads another masterpiece!

We are going back to the enclave with this one!! Amazing as always stupes, and just like the old one, the layered voices in the chorus are so good, and the mix of dark humor and commentary that fallout has is hit square on the nails head

Through the remasters it has become apparent how much better you've gotten at pronouncing all words clearly and distinctly when rapping fast. I didn't even need the lyrics this time.

As someone who was listening to the old one just recently this sounds heavenly in comparison thanks for the remaster of it especially with all of the fallout things going on at the moment

I made sure to listen to the original first, since it's been a few years. And i love how you improved the harmonies, both of the barbershop quartet and in the rest of the song, along with the improved mixing in general! I don't know enough about music to fully pick apart each change, but it is definitely an improvement, thanks for breathing some new life into this one

I was singing this song all while watching the show! (Your music was the only thing I knew about fallout before then) So glad to see this remaster

This is one of my favorites and I can’t believe this remaster came out perfectly on my birthday! Now that’s a great gift

Playerbase according to expectation: Well equipped raiders and troublemakers. Actual playerbase: Supplying noobies with stims, food and guns till they are overencumbered. Defenatly glad to freshened this one up as well.

Glad to see one of my favorite songs getting remastered, keep up the great work stupendium

YOOOOOO A REMASTER OF THIS ONE! I've always been a big fan of this one, it's got such an interesting flow with a bunch of clever wordplay, and I love how it devolves from the optimism and ideallistic view at the beginning to a more grounded and opportunistic wasteland survivor view near the end, it feels like there's a proper story being told over the course of the song! also I've always loved "Country road, take me home, to a place that won't irradiate my bones" it's such a fun twist on the original song

The original Vault Number 76 was a song that I definitely grew on as time went on. It was always just such a fun, dark ditty that I enjoyed even though I know nothing about Fallout. Now that this remaster is out, I just gotta say, all my issues with the mastering in the original are gone and I LOVE this rematser. Master class work as always Stupes!

0:12 Love how you captured yourself singing the chorus 3 times instead of copy and pasting the same recording. It feels like an actual 3 person band instead of one guy and his other projections

also goddamn that shotgun sound effect at 2:01 was incredible.

I like how this version is a little bit clearer in the vocal parts compared to the original version. It definitely feels like I can understand what the lyrics are saying and the references they include.

The rhyme schemes on this are absolutely insane. Just look at this! 1:09 They just casually throw in a deep line like "'Cause you gotta build a heaven using death as the bricks" in a four syllable scheme. Like damn, a lot of mainstream rappers can't even maintain a four syllable scheme for two lines, much less a whole chorus.

If the original was an example of you NOT knowing how to handle barbershop harmonies, then I can't wait to hear this.

I'm not going to be able to listen to this for a few hours, but I just came here to say this was my first or second song that I've ever heard of yours and I screamed when I saw the notification for this. I'm sure it's great, I'll be sure to add another comment once I've heard it. Can't wait!😁😁😁

The revamps with the instruments in the background makes it so much clearer, and the deeper voice so much better! It really feels like something from fallout! Another great remaster, looking forward to your next one! Keep the great work up

As many others have said AMAZING remaster! I especially love the inclusion of the "old timey" song lyrics. :D Also... am I tripping, or was that a reference to Lethal Company at the end there? Edit: Was that a sneaky teaser for your next song?! Nice ;)

i found the orignal when the fallout show came out and it became 1 of my fav songs of yours, so glad it got a remaster

I was literally about to put on vault number 76 and play fallout76 with my friends when this masterpiece popped up in my notifications

WE ARE REDISCOVERING AMERICA WITH THIS ONE 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

How funny. I was just listening to the old song yesterday while playing fallout 76 lmao. I have no idea how the game was at launch, but now it's probably one of my favorite MMO-Type Games. Thanks for blessing us with this remaster! (And good on you for using the new huge interest in fallout lmao)

Excellent as always, but honestly what impresses me most is the number of rhymes for "Seventy Six" you found.

One of my favorite songs for one of my favorite games, from my favorite artist, in the year a new favorite show came out. I'm happy. I listened to the original so many times I can see how much work you put into the remaster and this just made it even more epic.

Just wanna say this is one of my top favorite Stupendium songs. It’s such a banger song with a freaking gorgeous video to go with it. The amount of effort they put in is unfathomable, and I can’t imagine how they manage to do it. I’m glad they started monetizing their music, they truly deserve to get something out of all the work they do other than just patreon. I applaud the adequate wordsmith!

Ooh that sounds nice and crisp! This is one of my favorite frequent earworms from your catlogue, so I’m absolutely loving the update! The ye olde barbershop sound is such a cool style with all of the beautiful harmonies. I’m a sucker for a good harmony! I fell in love with Bioshock Infinite from the moment I heard, “But long as there are stars above you”…instant frisson

This is so perfection Stupes! I enjoyed seeing this song getting remastered! One of your perfection songs that I admire. It always makes my day seeing you post these and gets me so excited, you are #1 Stupes, stay perfection! :3

Woot! One of my favourites! Glad to see you coming back to the older songs again.

Is it just me, or at 0:36 in the song, you can see one of the bombs from the house always wins?

The country roads bit sent a shiver down my spine

I have been relistening to the original for like a week now, you are a psychic

Ya know, while several of your songs have inspired me to play the games they're based on (Dredge and Death and Taxes being the examples that come to mind), this is also maybe the third time I start playing or reinstall a game then immediately see a notification for a song on it.... Damnit, someone go check on the Matrix, they're sleeping on the job again. (Also, lovely to see another clean-up on a classic earworm from my playlist, grand work as always Stupes.)

I got this game because of this song. Now 5 years later, I still play that game and I made some friends who I now talk to daily because of 76. All I can really say is thank you for making this song. It's a really wonderful masterpiece.

A small detail that I saw, is that on 2:34 when choir sings word murdering, one of members looks at the other one. And then later in the song, 4:01 we see that he's the only one left of the choir.

I don't want to se the world on fire But your house will do just fine My FAVORITE verse! And this song is pure FIRE stupes! THANKS! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

another song i dont know anything about the actual game, but i can’t stop listening to this banger. i’m glad it’s got a remaster!!

76 has had a smaller, but steady playerbase. It is really cool that the show brought so many new players in. It is like launch day all over again! I try my best to help new players out with weapons and chems for healing at the donation boxes around the map

As per usual... An absolute treat to hear it. It was so wonderful to hear it again, just that little bit better. Loved every minute!

Loves he original, but this is certainly an improvement! Good timing with the new show, you're def my favorite artist

I had mixed feelings about the "House Always Wins" remaster; there is something to be said about how the original low fidelity audio synergizes with Fallout's "retro-futurism" motif. This, on the other hand, is a STRICT upgrade to one of my favorites songs you've made! The audio is hugely improved, and it's very noticeable in the barbershop harmonies. I like this a lot, and I think I'm about to go spend a lot of time listening to your other songs, since I've just been casually reminded of them

Great job, as always! Just wanna point out, I recently said hello and that I was watching 'adequate wordsmith' on tiktok, and u said hello, which always puts a smile on my face. Anyway, great remaster, great song, amazing budget, and brilliant channel. "Cya', mate!"

The fact 76 has come back from the grave is really something else, and honestly? It's incredible in my opinion! I enjoyed this game for a time at the start, but eventually after all my friends quit out of the game, I stopped playing. But, with the recent reception of "Fallout" the TV show being so incredible, I redownloaded 76, and was hit with the "Yeah, YEAH. This is good." again. Not to mention, this song is unreasonably catchy!

This is my first and favorite song that I saw on the Stupendium channel This beat and refrain just hits hard

My favorite part of these videos is little things in the lyrics that I don't catch during my first or second or third or fourth or thirty-eighth listen. It's almost like Shakespeare or classic literature, there's always something deeper and super cool, I've missed.

I could just smell this one coming! This song was always one of my favourites and I'm glad you decided to remaster it

I’ll be honest- I liked the old one because of the more old-timey feel, but this one is equally amazing! I’m happy to have both versions of the song to listen to!

You are a psychic!! I just listened to this song again yesterday.

thank you so much !!! my face lit up when I saw this stupes !

It seems any song Stupendium makes is super catchy! And his vocal range is incredible, all the different voices he can do XD Keep up the amazing work dude!

The i don't want to set the worlds on fire reference was incredible!! First time hearing this song and is already one of my favorites!!

DUDE NO WAY. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SONGS FROM YOU, AND WAS LITTERALLY JUST LOOKING THROUGH YOUR CHANNEL TO SEE IF YOUD UPLOADED SINCE IM SO HAPPY IM SO HAPPY IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS I KNEW YOUD REMASTER THIS OUGHH IT SOUNDS SO GOOD WAHHHH DUDDDEEEEE I’m so happy you’re awesome EEEHEGEGHEHIDHHDFHIEHJHEGEGEHEH

This and the mr house track are some of my fave songs. So happy to see this remaster

I thought this song couldn't get any better, but you found a way to make it sound even more incredible! Absolutely love this remaster!

stupendium cooking as per usual. no clue how you do it EVERY TIME but im not complaining, keep up the good work

Warning vault breached , it seems a total banger as breached in...

This is one of my favs. Wonderful to see in remastered! Again, all your music is wonderful Mx Stupedium.

an absolute delight to see today! vault 76 was one of my top 5 favorite songs of yours and seeing a remaster of it made me so happy! although i'm not the biggest fan of how some parts sound (particurally the starting chorus part, it sounds very oddly autotuned for some reason) i'm still glad this song got a second chance, i'm really hope that it really picks up some popularity after that fallout show everyone was talking about!

This is actually a song I wanted remastered but didn't know if it was ever gonna actually happen. Thank you.

HELL YEAH!

One word to describe this: Stupendous

Welp. This and “What a Joy” were on literal repeat while I was working landscaping a few years ago. They have been stuck in my head ever since. Actually what got me into Fallout 4 again!

So much fun to see this remastered. This was the video that made me start watching this channel, so I hold it very dearly.

I didn't know that this absolute banger could be made EVEN BETTER! The chords are so much clearer!

Omg I was just watching this! Has to be my second favorite song from you! First is House Always Wins

I was so confused to see a remaster of this, because it was already so good, I didn't know what you'd have to do to improve it. 5 seconds in and it's somehow 10 times better.

So we got a remaster for great House song and now this banger! It's so cool! Thank you, Stupendium!

0:21 me and the boys when we saw this video on my feed

It can't be better than the original versi- AND OH MY GAWD IT'S WAY BETTER!!!!!!!

"I dont wanna set the world on fire, but your house will do just fine" is both hilarious and a great reference to "I don't wanna set the world on fire" which is a song that also correlates to fallout😂

I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT A REMASTER FOR THIS SONG!!!! I'm so happy

WELCOME TO VAULT NUMBER 76!!! :DD

0:06 vault stupendium

Yes please! I've been listening to The House Always Wins (Remastered) on my walks and always followed it up with Vault Number 76, but you could tell one was older. Now both are great! Especially the Trio singing! It's the one that introduced me to the Ink Spots

Honestly, I don't know WHAT it was about the specific composition of this song - nor the original version of this - but golly was this remaster was one to take the attention from my ears. It was always a blast doing unnecessary hand gestures and jazz hands to the chorus! And to the last end of the song, didn't really expect you to ever cover such a silly mainstream game - but I can certainly see the potential! I'm excited to see what you create next, because LC certainly suits your channel's vibe

YES

4:41 Are you by any chance teasing something there Stupes?

The fallout song has always been my favourite Stumpendiun song. Me and my friends are so glad to see this remaster!

The 'country road ' bit has been stuck in my head for months. I'm glad that I get that again but better 👍

God when you sang,”is America buried? Did it ever exist?” It gave me chills. That line it so hard for no reason and so did the entire song! I’m so glad you remastered this

Oh my GOD! This is one of my favorite old songs of yours, but the mixing has always been a problem for me. I'M SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS! Originally, I thought Carol of the Tails would be getting a remaster, but this has to be the best outcome. The new effects are so good and AGHGHHH I'm just so happy! Great job, stupes!! 🧡

Stupendium uploaded! Feels like we waited forever for this! Dust off those chips and selection of dips.

As someone from west virginia, fallout 76 was one of the coolest things ever. To see where I've grown up, where my family goes to work, and some of the culture in my favorite series was one of the most awesome experiences.

RIP Joe 3:54

I have been listening to the original for the last few weeks because it was just so good. Now having it remastered... Thank you very much. I really appreciate ya.

This is so sick! This is one of my favourites and you really tightened up those harmonies in a way I didn't think could be improved

Ive been getting back into fo76 and Ive been thinking of and listening to the original song a bunch! So this is a very pleasent suprise to see! Really like the multiple voices going on especially for the singing trio, makes them stand out and makes the bit at the end were the center fellow is the only one left all that more chilling and notable Another stupendous song from Stupendium ☆

i must admit this is one of my favorite songs in general and stupendium i have to say your songs are always amazing and i wanted to say thanks for making such great content with such mastery over the fine details in costumes, backgrounds and props

FINALLY,AFTER YEARS! I HAVE WAITED FOREVER FOR THIS!(pun intended)

I've been thinking about this all day since the new Fallout Series came out!! One of your best songs ever!

OMG! I've listend to this countless times since the original release, and I only just now noticed the crosswords / cross words double. That is GENIUS!
