Gryph0n and Baasik release a song about the Hazbin Hotel Seaon 2 reveal of the backstory of Alistor, the radio demon that makes Charlie Morningstar’s life a — well, you get the idea.

Turns out that Alistor grew up in some of the worst circumstances imaginable, and in the end the world dealt him an unimaginable blow. But instead of dealing with the horror, he surrendered to it. This song tells the tale in the retro-swing style that only Gryph0n and Baasik (Gabriel and Nate Brown) could pull off. The animation and design of the video is by their friend Luximus17.

“With your smile, turn the world upside down”

Sit down, I’m gonna tell ya
A little story ‘bout a sad little fella
He was a Dapper-Dan Cinderella
Oh, and lemme tell ya
It made the other fellas jealous

They made him cry
“Na na na”
Spit in his eye
“Ha ha ha”
How could they pick on such a friendly little guy?

This town was kinda broken
Not the kind of place you’d leave your doors open
Full of backwards, back-woods broke-men
Still he was copin’
Yeah he was dreamin’ hopin’

He’d get away
“Na na na”
Maybe someday
“Ha ha ha”
But on the radio his momma used to play.

“When it feels like all the world is wearing a frown
Put a smile on and spread it around.”

With your smile, turn the world upside down.

CHORUS:
Da da, da da da da
Da da da da da dada

Well now he had the spirit
And he would smile every time he’d hear it
Soon he knew every single lyric
Oh, and he would sing it
And in his sleep he’d dream it

All day and night
“Na na na”
Through every fight
“La La La”
You wouldn’t judge him if you knew what it was like

And how, as luck would have it
He got rewarded for his weird new habit
He earned a fat green stack of cabbage
And he planned to stash it
Till he was livin’ lavish

That fateful day
“Na na na”
He ran away
“La La La”
And he could hear the song his momma used to play

“When it feels like all the world is wearing a frown
Put a smile on and spread it around…”

With his smile, he’d turn the world upside down!

Chorus:
Da da, da da da da
Da da da da da dada

When it feels like all the world is wearing a frown
Put a smile on and spread it around.

With my smile, I turned the world upside down.
