I like how in the end D.C. is seemingly content with their loss because, in society’s eyes, a good criminal gets caught because that’s better for society and is like, “yay! We’re such great criminals, we’re getting arrested!” It’s so funny and weirdly wholesome almost lol

That's the motto at the bottom of the front cover of every Artemis Fowl book.
The Naga-style hoity laugh at the end is what really sells this for me- D.C. Belle being a "villainess" whose opinion of her talents is delusional, but out of unbridled optimism instead of narcissism. I even imagine she has a Naga-esque back story is actually a wealthy debutante who fell for the Banzai Blaster's creed, wanted friends, wanted to fit in, and part of why it's fun for her is she's rich enough to get out of jail very quickly for her obviously minor offences.
Yes! I loved hearing this at the end of the first couple episodes! I’m so happy to get a full version.

Not me crying laughing through the entire last chorus..."hit me with the motto fellas" just fills me with glee every time, the harmonies/backup vocals are so chaotic, and the ad-libs sound like someone singing joyfully in the shower before their mom tells them "you sounded very nice :] you can do more crime after you brush your teeth". (Also I've been referring to it as Great At Crime 2: 2 Great 2 Crime.)

I love the slow shift between the old version and the new version. When you start the video you barely notice a difference, but by the end when the singer is going off and everything is upbeat. It's a total tone shift but done so well. You don't even notice it until you rewatch the video and hear the tone shift.
Imagine being the cop at 3:24 and the criminal you just arrested is singing about how they shouldn’t have waited for their mom to pick them up and just keeps singing in the car ride to jail

Its great to see a longer version of this and the inclusion of community OCs shows how many people love the Banzai Blasters.
Fun fact, the "Don't call us dumb" and "I stole some bubblegum" are replaced with a different set of rhyming phrases in episode (In episodes 1-4, since in episode five and further it switches to great at cowboy) I believe the bubblegum rhyme is from episode 2

It’s moments like this that make me glad that the show was popular enough to produce songs and books like this because this right here is a treat to watch and listen to!
The production for this is top-tier. Having Or3o go down an octave for the last half of the chorus was a really smart decision, mostly because the original high notes make for good harmony, and the bass riff during the breakdown is my personal favorite part. Also, speaking as a sucker for rhymes, the lyrics are great. :D
It's amazing the difference in tone concerning the Banzai Blasters, in this song and Great at Cowboy. Here they're just a goofier team rocket, while in the other song, They literally execute a child's parents in front of her
I very much enjoy the main vocalist's Banzai Blaster, especially with how proud she is at getting arrested because it means that they are definitely evil.

[Lyrics] In the dead of midnight Someone's creeping down the hall See those yellow uniforms? We're the ones who got it all! We might trigger an alarm But we never come to harm Because before the cops can catch us We can call my mom We're great at crime (Don't call us dumb!) Yeah we're great at crime (I stole some bubblegum!) The boys in blue are here for you There is nothing they can do We scruffle scram skedaddle Up a creek without a paddle No you cannot rattle us Cause we are great at crime Larceny, incarcerated! Arson's kinda overated! There's no reason to debate it Great at crime Great at crime Great at crime While you're busy sleeping We are sneaking through your yard... "Beware of Dog" is just a bluff This won't be very hard! Your security won't stop us Know that you can never top us We will sneak in through the chimney And then we get stuck :( We're great at crime (Help I can't get out!) Yeah we're great at crime *cough*(I think I swallowed grout!) Grab the hooch and then we scooch ...Unless you've got a scary pooch! Rip 'n rob 'n root-le But it all feels rather futiloe When you're chewed out by a poodle... No! We're great at crime Larceny, incarcerated! Arson's kind of overrated! There's no reason to debate it Great at crime Great at crime Great at crime Got a brand new target That museum is our next mark Breaking in at 7 'cause we are scared of the dark! And the creeping apprehension Of the dangers of detention Doesn't get a single mention And I'll tell you why Hit me with the motto, fellas! One more time! We're great at crime (I failed remedial English!) Yeah we're great at crime (I don't understand basic rhyme structure!) Let's grab this charm 'cause what's the harm? Oh, we triggered the alarm! It's just a minor hiccup I could call my mom for pickup It's the sleeve I've got a trick up 'cause I'm- Great at crime I though that I was cunning But my momma isn't comin' Really shoulds started runnin' 'cause we're great at crime The coppers were a big suprise They're trying us, we're evil guys They wouldn't be here otherwise!

OR3O did such a great job!! the second verse? THE KEYCHANGE? i love this series so much, and this song fits its theme so well. plus its so incredibly groovy, and the full version is somehow even better? im probably gonna have this on loop for ages haha

Got some serious Team Rocket vibes from this. I totally want a spin-off series just about random Bonsai Blunders.
Finally a beat to jaywalk to. Thanks ya'll!!
