Bye, Bye Mr. Game Theorist Guy (American Pie Cover)

- The very moment I saw the Goodbye Internet video back in January, this song has been floating around in my head in various forms, but I knew it was a fire aching to be breathed out.
The thing is, I'm not a singer, I've never had any singing training or taken any courses, so this was WAAAY out of my comfort zone and I'm fully aware that it needs a lot of work. But for what it became, I'm immensely proud of it and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting it together.
As for the reasoning behind it. I think it's fair to say that lots of us getting our start in gaming CZcams have our own influences, and MatPat has always been one of mine. Puts his best foot forward and releases productions of love and passion to the best of his ever-growing ability. I only hope I can do the same for myself some day. Thanks MatPat for the inspiration.
We'll definitely miss you being on our screens.
Cheers,
-Daniel

Hey all, just wanted to give a more visible update about all the requests for adding this to Spotify. I did look into it, but it looks like they have some pretty specific licensing requirements for parody works posted to their platform. Since I used a backing track and didn't record the actual instrumentals myself, I need to get licensing permission for it, which is a bit beyond my means currently. But as @1ronDragon wisely posted down below, I do have a SoundCloud (you can find the link on my channel page or just on SoundCloud directly, it's the same userrname) and so I've posted this song as well as a couple other Gollum Parody songs I've done up there. It's the best I can do for the time being until this channel is big enough for me to do it full time.
Continued thanks for all the comments and kind words, and welcome to all the new people that felt it was good enough to deserve their sub. Great to have you all here either way, thanks for watching!
Great video.
Great video! I’m totally willing to record a backing track for free to get this on Spotify
I feel like you could probably find someone in this comment section who could record the backing track
I love the song! Hate that you had to put not AI in the thumbnail.
@@elianaslivia4405 Please we the people no the theorist need this
This somehow felt both like 20 seconds and 4 hours
yes
Same as The normal bye bye miss american pie song
@@ronnor99 exactly what I was thinking
It's amazing reading through the comments to see how many people had the news fully sink in while watching this song. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
We all about to cry 🥹😫
It is now officially MatPat's last day...
Farewell, MatPat.
yeah.
At least we still have GTLive left
he had a great run
Also the 69th day of 2024 because of Leap Day…
goodbye to an era, but as dr suess said, dont cry that its over, smile because it happened. goodbye
absolutely incredible
OH WOW
Thanks so so much for taking the time to check it out and for stopping in to leave a comment. Really appreciate it! Anything you can do to help get this to MatPat would be super amazing, I'd love for him to see it!
incredible
It’s another legend. At least we still have him.

Which vid was that from
This was from a GTLive stream if I remember
“SANs and Ness are not the same guy” LMAO
Lol, if he ever got backlash on his theories over the years, it was certainly for that one!
No shut up
@@TheLegenDanieldid you see the tweet of Toby Fox with Sans and Papyrus wearing Ness' clothing
It's just a theory it's not sure cause he said it's just a theory
Yes i am
Matpats final theory circa:2024
The day theorists cry.
A truly momentous and sad day.
@@TheLegenDaniel yea fr
I would LOVE for MatPat to see this! Let's see if we can do it. LET'S GO!! 🥳Who's going to tweet it at him? Maybe there's a chance he will react to it on GTLive, which would be UNBELIEVABLE! Thank you so much for everyone's support!
Smae
I might know how we can do it
I actually came back here just to see if he noticed! I was really hoping to see it on GT live today.
I would post a tweet at him, but ever since it became X my account got removed or banned or something like that
@@ChristopherCraven Yea but I would maybe try sending email in that website they made and answer weekly.
PUT THIS ON SPOTIFYYYYYYYY
It’s not Goodbye, Internet. It’s a See You Later, Internet.
I’m just dreaming… it’s a very weird and specific dream, but still a dream.
Yeah I hope we all are having the same,dream,and as we all wake up,we just look at our neighbours and we all just celebrate,and we all know why,without even saying it.
You mean a nightmare?
we are all just having a shared dream, the whole planet
Sounds like a good morning to sleep in and keep the dream going. 🛌
Its not a dream, its real
What an incredible cover of weird al's "The Saga Begins"
LMAO was thinking the same thing
That is literally the vid I was watching before this was recommended to me
czcams.com/video/_BwKZEp2K_0/video.htmlfeature=shared
Lol I was thinking the exact same thing
THANK YOU!! I actually knew about The Saga Begins before American Pie 🤣
I was FULLY SINGING ALONG TOWARDS THE END
9-3-2024, never forget!
The day theorists cried.
Goodbye, MatPat.
just sayin, it should be 3/9/2024 or 3-9-2024

@@gacha_tuber3268 he's not american lol. that's still correct
I am very glad you put the "not A.I" sticker in the thumbnail, because I might not have clicked on this absolute gem!
I was doing some youtube searching before I posted and didn't realize how much crap AI content is out there these days, figured I should make it obvious that this isn't just another one of those. SOOOO glad I did!
@@TheLegenDanielhow sad is it that nowadays we have to put “NOT AI” stickers on cover thumbnails because of how much shitty fake AI covers there are now, thank you for actually making a good cover and not having some soulless fake Matpat Ai cover American Pie I respect that, maybe it’s good that Matpat is retiring when is because now we have the rise of Ai.
ai or not, game theorist fan or not, I'd still watch this tbh
I didnt even notice the Not AI thing I just clicked on the video as I do not really think about "Is this Video AI?"
To be fair having Hank Williams sing Straight outta Compton is fecking funny
This is such a good parody showing the history.
Thanks, I wanted to try and blend the sort of 'historical' lyrics of the original song with the history of his channel. Looks like it came across!
You did a great job
Even now months later after Mat retired listening to this masterpiece makes me feel the same hollow feeling that I felt the first time I watched his goodbye video for the first time.
Same.
I just hope the channels wont die without matpat.
The new hosts have great potential
That’s my exact fear. I really hope they only get more popular.
Bro
Matpat was so powerful he had to split up into 4 hosts
@Number-em3uf one person could not bare his duties he had to split the power🦈
I feel like it’ll be like random king.
All of these people were already writing the theories. He was just the host for most of them outside of hands on stuff like food theory. I'm sure it will be fine
Weird to think we're in the last few hours before MatPat leaves, truly the end of an era.
I am braced, but I'm not ready
Three months just flew by...
truely
it’s okay, it’s a new era and like he said it’s not truly goodbye
Thanks for the certified sticker of "Not AI" on the thumbnail.
Aside from them making me uncomfortable, I'm personally against those for moral reasons.
You have a nice voice, and this song was an excellent tribute! We'll all miss Matpat.
I’ve never been so happy for someone I’ve never met.
I hope he enjoys his Retirement. He’s certainly earned it.
HOLY CRAP!! Thanks so much to EVERYBODY for this completely overwhelming response. I'm so happy to see and hear people enjoying this and how it resonates with them so much. MatPat had such an influence over all of us and this is just how I was able to process through everything while also giving a tribute to everything he's brought over the years. Thanks to everybody for watching and leaving comments! I really really appreciate all the kind words!
I'll be watching the final episode premiere with everybody, but I would love to see if we can get this in front of MatPat to show my appreciation. If you'll also be at the premiere, I'd appreciate any help you can give to get the word of this video to spread to him! Hugs to everybody on this tough day, the Theorist community is absolutely incredible.
If you're aching for any other MatPat tangential poetics, I also did a 7 minute FNAF lore recap in the style of Dr. Seuss if you're so inclined: czcams.com/video/MIkQz4Z0CXI/video.html
Why is this actually good
yeah i was expecitng this to be a crappy edit but damn this was great! I'm subscribing
great song mate
How crap you also reach 1k subs 👀
This is epic man you deserve it
This unironically goes so hard. With no vocal lessons or anything, you absolutely killed that man!
Thank you, that means a lot! :)
Legitimately gave me chills. Goodbye, MatPat.
We’ll all miss you Mathew Patrick.
His birthday was 2 days ago..st patricks day
this has such an intense feeling of sincerity, that same feeling as the early youtube song parodies. back around when matpat was first doing game theory. this is such a bundle of emotions i dont even know how to describe it.
Thank you for such a great comment! That's exactly what I was going for :)
Matpat may be be gone for now, but he'll never ever be forgotten, bye bye Mr. Game Theorist guy :(
*holds up lighter slowly and waves it back and forth*
Today Matpats final Game Theory comes out...
I really don't want this era to end, but I still respect his wish and understand his reasons to retire (who doesn't?).
Yup, definitely a bittersweet story. But as someone else commented, he's going out a hero and not a villain which is both rare and admirable.
@@TheLegenDaniel True. He is leaving on the pinnacle of his career. There were too many CZcamsrs that went from "cool dude/gal" to "THE FRICK DID THEY DO?!".
Im happy Matpat isn't one of them
This is amazing... We sure will miss MatPat The Legend...
We sure will, thanks for the kind words!
What's sad is that in 5 years he'll be forgotten as a new generation finds these videos all they will know is the new host and not the man the myth the legend matpat started and built it all with help from so many other great people
alright I was already on the verge of crying just with the final theory...this did it
I'm quite sad about game theories guy leaving forever I remember him
This is very underrated matpat needs to listen to this
Thanks for saying so, I really hope he does!
@@TheLegenDanielif I had to make up a reason why he hasn't seen it yet, He probably doesn't want to hop on CZcams straight away and get sucked in reading all of the comments and replies in his video tempting him to not leave out of empathy from seeing the heart break.
He seems like a guy who is pretty in touch with his emotions.
@ChristopherCraven exactly, but he deserves to stop he has made a huge impact on everyone who watched or knew him. It's definitely heartbreaking to see him go, but let's keep in mind that there are 4 new ones. They surely can be just as good. It will take some time but we'll get used to it. Besides it's not like he will be truly gone with everything that he got, fnaf musical, etc... he's not leaving for good yet, we will just see him less.
Alright. Hands up. Who legit cried hearing this song… Great work!!
I did.
I'm not ashamed to admit it
Yep.
I will gladly admit that I did
No shame in crying. Matpat was our childhood.
me too
This is legitimately the best parody song by a CZcamsr i have ever heard, great job man
The theories will never die. Even though he won't be here anymore, he'll always be in our hearts. Bye bye Mr. Game theorists guy.
I gonna be honest. I, like many others I'm sure, was in denial. There's no way he's actually leaving. This song however, not only does it bring a year to my eye, but make me think that it's time to accept this. We're gonna miss you MatPat. We always will
Definitely hard to accept someone so legendary leaving, but like he said he will still be around. Glad you enjoyed my video :)
Bye bye game theorist guy... You made my childhood worth living thank you
He definitely helped and inspired a lot of people over his CZcams tenure. Happy to hear this resonated with you 😄
This brought a tear to my eye. It celebrates the highs and lows. The journey of MatPat. He will always be remembered. Goodbye MatPat, We'll miss you.
Watching this again (for the umpteenth time) I think MatPat is the 1st YTer I've seen retire and not only give us an actual goodbye video but pass on the torch instead of just having his channel go dead
It truly was... just a theory...
He was a leaf in the wind, watch how he soared...
@@TheLegenDaniel Great, now I can also be sad about Wash. Haha
@@Sweetroll_Wolfie The fact that you got the reference endears me to you further. Browncoats 4 life.
But that’s just a theory.
A game theory. Thanks for watching…
unironically slaps, I hope this'll be one of those videos he always talked about randomly stumbling across that would remind him of his impact and importance to people. Also only 10K views is a crime when other songs remixes are getting loads more, this one is the most unique and well-done IMO
Oh I can only hope. Thanks so much!
"Sans and Ness are not the same guy"
This song, some parts just unlocked parts of my brain I forgot in the past 8 or 9 years of watching the game theorist channels. It’s really pushing the feeling of a bittersweet goobye
Easily the second best parody of American pie that I have ever listened to
Also farewell MatPat
The first one is the Star Wars one? (It's the only other one I know)
@@benjatendo5015 ya that's the only other one I know too
Today's a sad day, it's the day that Matpat can no longer ruin our childhoods. I'm glad he can sped time with his family, but there is still a part of me that sad. Thank you MatPat for everything you have done.
It's the epitome of bittersweet for sure.
now he can ruin his sons childhood lol
Thank you so much for this and remember don't cry over what we had be happy that we had it!!!!
Goodbye Matpat!
Thanks for the memories to when i was in third grade got my 2ds and got yt ...
The first vid i watched was from matpat i never stoped watching his vids.
From the charm to the way he explaint it, making sure every last detail was heard of about all my favorit games...
It was a simple time and now its been a 2 months and im already looking back sad but yet so happy about the time i had thank you matpat thanks for taking us on such an amazing journey
Im not ready for this video to age 10 years. I am not ready for game theory without his voice.
You’ll still have his old Theory’s plenty to keep watch and hear his voice
this hits hard after matpat officially retired
Game theory didn’t end
@@lueisred6901yes but matpat has retired
I remember waking up that morning and his was the first video in my recommended, I only ever got halfway through it, I've been subbed to game theorists for like a decade so like it felt like a part of my childhood died
This is honestly amazing. The lyrics work so well and is full of so many references. I truly hope that matpat is able to see this amazing video and react to it.
I never thought Game Theory would live this long back when I started watching him at the start. I will miss him hosting.
It had a hell of a life, and I hope the candle keeps on burning.
Craziest shit was how when I clicked on this video I got a ad from the Style Theory channel
Nice
they have ads?
@@vintage-radio I thought the same thing too, my friend…
I stopped watching Game Theory a couple years ago, but it was one of my favorite channels for a long time. Almost from the beginning. This made me cry. Well done, man, seriously
I'm Legit In Tears Listening To This, But Not Crying, Knowing He's Happy With His Family. Matpat - 2009 - 2024
the fact that American Pie is my favourite song makes this 100x better
One of mine as well! Thank you 😃
Same here ,’D
Smae
American Pie is my favourite song and I have always loved MatPat, this is beautiful
One of mine as well! Thanks for sharing and welcome!
the levee was dry because matpat one of our good old was drinking diet coke
This simultaneously made and ruined my day, I am now lying in a pool of tears. We miss you Mat 😭😭😭
Matpat showing up on GT live 2 days after his last theory:
I cried. I'm crying. And I shall cry forevermore knowing that my childhood is moving on
Virtual hug, it'll get easier with time.
This is no music video.
This is absolute art.
This is amazing. This is the best thing I’ve seen today.
Wow, what a comment. You are a legend for that! Definitely made my day, thank you!!
This is the best thing I’ve seen all week
I hope matpat sees this because I want him to feel appreciated for his work
I love that you took time to write your own version of American pie a masterpiece of a song as IGN would say 9/10
This feels like the lovechild of "American Pie" and "A Little Theorizing".
A mix that if you told me about it beforehand, I'd couldn't even picture it
... YES????
Bro somehow *this* made me cry but not the original video.
I don't think it hit me last time, this guy *is* my childhood.
I feel you on that, it takes some time for people to grieve and process things. You're nowhere near alone feeling this way.
I almost drowned I. My own tears when I watched his video about him leaving
This is truly incredible.
2059 kids be like: “Who the fuck is this random guy?”
Me in 2059: *holds belt* what did you say!
Hopefully game theory will be bigger than ever by then and there will be a statue of matpat outside their headquarters.
The worst part is that I found out on my BIRTHDAY of all days which was undeniably most depressing birthday ever
Definitely not something any of us would have put on our wish list...
He left on mine, we can cry toghether
ill see you all when this pops off in like 13 years
Tomorrow I will have a Diet Coke while listening to this song in matpats honor
He feels like a dad to me
as a foreigner sounds like what an American would say
Spammed this in the chat during the premier in hopes of him seeing. Hopefully he'll listen in.
Thanks so much! I was doing the same, I hope he gets to see it!
this Is possibly the best parody that's ever graced my ears
I'm honored to hear it, thanks so much!
RIP Game Theory 2011-2024
Good bye Matpat, We will all miss you,
Farewell🫡
Omg... this is the golden cookies of parodies, it's absolutely spectacular.
Mmmm, cookies...

@@TheLegenDaniel BUT THATS JUST A THEORY... A GAME THEORY!!
This made me cry again
This is beautiful! MatPat was truly an idol to a multitude of people. That video and this song both made me cry...
Even though I haven't been that big of a Game Theory watcher, this feels so bittersweet. I've mostly watched Gtlive since Matpat is just a joy to watch. Here's to hoping he goes on to live the best life he can.
I'm sure today is an emotional day for him as well, it's hard for us to see him go, it must be even worse to leave it all behind.
See you around, Game Theorist Guy!
o7
In a year hes gonna be back when the 5 channels collapse without him.
I’m just happy MatPat gets to retire on a good note unlike so many others. If he must die, already he can die a hero and not go out a villain, like so many others have. He will truly be missed.
So much this, I think it speaks most to his character and quality!
Up there with Jenna Marbles for leaving gracefully (and for leaving a void)
This is honestly my favorite parody of the song. I hope Matpat sees this.
Hadn't watched Game theorists for a while before Matpat announced he was leaving, but man this song made me feel nostalgic for when I was in primary school watching Game and Film Theorists, now I'm an adult and at film school, times have changed and youtubers I grew up watching have retired, nice while it lasted
I totally get this set of emotions. I remember hearing my parents talk about being sad to see the celebrities of their day passing on and not understanding, but now that our childhood heroes are leaving I 100% understand the emotions now.
I'm not crying, you are...
Why yes, yes I am.
No I'm not cr..*sniff*.. it's alle...rgies
2:01 pov me when matpat retired
It’s incredible that I got a game theory merch ad before this
the most replayed section is WILD
The theories haven't died
They've been given new life
They have new leaders but the memories and the master will never die
This needs to be number one on trending
That would be amazing!!!
@@TheLegenDaniel it’s well deserved, good job!
One day has felt like an eternity.
Matpat has to watch this.
I hope matpat sees this or has seen this. This is great!
This is a beautiful parody. I love the original, but I think I may love this version even more because of how much I care about the situation with Matpat leaving. Thank you
I appreciate the kind words!
I love how this is a parody of American pie
As a wise man once said "Why would I be sad that I was once so happy?"
This is going straight on all of my playlists
(sets up couch in new playlist house) Happy to live here now! 💺
Now this is the saddest parody I have ever listened.
It's certainly a combination of a bunch of bittersweet feelings for me and lots of other viewers of his channel. Thanks for taking a listen!
I had always thought that I could make a game or ARG with really deep lore and it would be cool if MatPat found and dissected it.
That dream, I suppose, has withered and died. Goodbye MatPat ❤
at least british guy can do a theory on it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@SallySprague LOL I guess 🤣 it'll never be the same though
March 9th. Matpat day. We loved him
