Look At This is the featured song in the Helluva Boss episode "Oops". It is an improvised song performed by Fizzarolli to distract Crimson's gang and Striker from seeing Blitzo make an escape plan.
Lyrics[]
Fizzarolli: When I was a young boy
I never thought it'd come to this
The scars all seemed to heal
And, soon, all I feel is regret
And now, I'm a grown man
I've lost it all again
But what I'll miss the most
Pay close attention while you get a look at... this!
Yeah, look at this!
Then, look at that!
Hehey, here's a hat!
This nonsense mostly doesn't mean a thing
But listen closely, maybe it explains everything!
The secret to Bitcoin, computers, and microchips
The key to the future
If you only look at this!
Riches untold, you'll have dollars and gold
If you focus on me, as the story unfolds
LOOK AT THIS!
I HOLD THE KEY TO THE MYSTERY!
LOOK AT THIS!
LOOK AT NOTHING EXCEPT FOR ME!
LOOK AT THIS!
(unintelligible growling)
THAT WAS GIBBERISH!
BLITZO, HURRY THE FUCK UP!
I don't know how long I can do this!
Blitzo: I'm gonna need another sixty seconds!
Fizzarolli: Aw, fuck!
Okay, the thing I'm trying to say
I will say if you look this way...
Uh, y-you know, it's, uh, just as Nonna (Grandma) Fizzarolli used to say...
Puzza lasagna (Stink lasagna)
Contorni, limoncello (Side dish, limoncello)
Forte, piano (Loud, soft)
Buongiorno, alle vongole (Good morning, with clams)
Luigi, Firenze, bucatini (Luigi, Florence, bucatini)
Cingale~ (Wild boar~)
Cingale~ (Wild boar~)
So, look at... this!
Please look at this!
I am running out of places I can take this bit!
So, look at this! Look at my face!
I regret every event that got me in this place!
This little song is driving me insane
My exhaustion is audible
Now, the ending is probable
CUZ' THIS RUSE IS IMPOSSIBLE to maintain
So, fuckin'...
BYE-BYE!
When I was a young boy
I never thought it'd come to this
The scars all seemed to heal
And, soon, all I feel is regret
And now, I'm a grown man
I've lost it all again
But what I'll miss the most
Pay close attention while you get a look at... this!
Yeah, look at this!
Then, look at that!
Hehey, here's a hat!
This nonsense mostly doesn't mean a thing
But listen closely, maybe it explains everything!
The secret to Bitcoin, computers, and microchips
The key to the future
If you only look at this!
Riches untold, you'll have dollars and gold
If you focus on me, as the story unfolds
LOOK AT THIS!
I HOLD THE KEY TO THE MYSTERY!
LOOK AT THIS!
LOOK AT NOTHING EXCEPT FOR ME!
LOOK AT THIS!
[unintelligible growling]
THAT WAS GIBBERISH!
BLITZO, HURRY THE FUCK UP!
I don't know how long I can do this!
(I'm gonna need another sixty seconds!)
Fuck!
Okay, the thing I'm trying to say
I will say if you look this way...
Uh, y-you know, it's just as Nonna (Grandma) Fizzarolli used to say...
Buca di beppo (Joe's small place)
Contorni, limoncello (Side dish, limoncello)
Forte, piano (Loud, soft)
Buongiorno, alle vongole (Good morning, with clams)
Luigi, Firenze, bucatini (Luigi, Florence, bucatini)
Cingale~ (Wild boar~)
Cingale~ (Wild boar~)
So, look at... this!
Please look at this!
I am running out of places I can take this bit!
So, look at this! Look at my face!
I regret every event that got me in this place!
This little song is driving me insane
My exhaustion is audible
Now, the ending is probable
CUZ' THIS RUSE IS IMPOSSIBLE to maintain
So, fuckin'...
BYE-BYE!
Trivia[]
- According to Sam Haft, who composed the song, Fizzarolli is not fluent in Italian.[1] Haft also reveals that the lyrics from the song were made from the app, Duolingo,[2] and translates to the following:[3]
- Puzza lasagna - stink lasagna
- Contorni - side dish
- Forte, piano - loud, soft
- Buongiorno, alle vongole - good morning, with clams
- Firenze - Florence
- Cingale - wild boar
- Haft also confirmed that the demo initially had the line "buca di beppo" (Joe's small place) but was changed in fear of copyright with the restaurant of the same name.[4]
- Haft also said that the song uses a very specific copyright-safe riff on his favorite Italian song of all time, "Amore scusami".[5]
- The picture of a live action man during the Bitcoin part was a cameo of Adam Neylan.
- From the episode "Oops" onward, Vivziepop has started uploading the official music videos of the songs that premiere during their respective episodes, with this song being the first.
- According to Sam Haft, Look At This was the most challenging song for him that had been released as of December 10, 2023, as it's a long song but it also deliberately must mean nothing, and he needed to communicate zero information in it in quite a lot of time while keeping it interesting. He added that he was very nervous, terrified and stressed out about the song up until it released.[6]
- According to Sam Haft, the more Fizzarolli did in the song the more miserable he was and Fizzarolli was running out of ideas, leading to maybe speaking fake Italian. Haft also explains that he channeled "having to improvise when you have no braincells left because you've already improvised everything up until that point".[7]
