Spencer and Steven are identical twins.\rThey are fifth-graders at Summit Academy in Draper, Utah. They play soccer on a competition team. At recess, they mostly play soccer, and mostly with boys. The twins say that they learned this song in third grade at school from their friends. Apparently they don’t sing it with their friends anymore, but they do sing it around the house. They do not know who made it up.
-
The collector made a FaceTime call to Spencer and Steven and had them sing this to her while she recorded it. They sang it together.
-
These words are lyrics, set to the tune of the song "All Star" by Smashmouth. This became a popular culture song back in the early 2000s and is still sometimes played on certain radio stations today. However, the words that the informants sing are much different and include references to other themes from popular culture, including Star Wars and Justin Bieber, the\rsinger.
