♫ It's beginning to look a lot like Dustbowl! ♫ (SFM | TF2) 

Hey everyone! Just have to say thank you to everyone for the 1̶0̶0̶,0̶0̶0 2̶0̶0̶,0̶0̶0 900,000 views! It has really made my Christmas something special!! Thanks to some encouragement from a couple cool people, I've decided to open up a discord server: discord.gg/UGF6X4aSed So it'll be easier to suggest video ideas or ask for feedback on either my stuff or your own work instead! :) I really did not expect this video to blow up as much as it did! (To think, I was giddy with excitement seeing that the video had 200 views on Christmas eve) So again thanks to everyone of you, it's been a blast reading each one of your comments! Really makes my day and it's always a treat to hear what you think! :D

worst map best song

Its that wonderfull map of the year again

A wise man once said : “ TF2 is a timeless masterpiece “.

as a dustbowl main i can say that everything in this song was absolutely 100,000,000,000,000,000% accurate, but i still love the hell out of that map.

I think this became an instant classic, It’s just one of those feel good tf2 videos. This is really cool.

that teleporter getting put up at spawn at the end was so perfect

Incredibly sad that the original video got deleted, thank god you made your own (amazing btw) version of it before that

The transition from Blu to Red at the end was smoooooth

good 'ol classic with modern twists and modern tf2 quirks in it. can't beat it.

People talk about the transition from BLU to RED, which by itself is impressive, but you have to add the subtle shift of lighting once it happens which sells the whole thing Also the laughing mercs actually dropping their weapons on the floor

Unlocked memories with this song. I frequented a micspam server in college, but it was more like a space to dj music instead of spam obnoxious stuff. We would ban overspam, instead people would politely take turns playing their own songs. We would often play this song on Dustbowl. I miss community experiences like that in TF2. I don't think there's a way to capture in a bottle that magical era of the internet I experienced. I can only be happy that it happened. And I am happy.

0:37 is when scout drinks bonk if your wondering

perfectly accurate, didn’t miss a thing! Merry smissmas!

A perfect description of why Dustbowl is so incredibly flawed summed up in the form of a Christmas song parody. Love it.

0:42 umm what's that above engies head

0:48 my favorite part 🤩

14 years later (God we're old) and it still brings a smile to my face. I salute you Texlow for the best version of this song yet

On the 12th day of Smissmas, Saxton gave to me. 12 shitty cosmetic, 11 mercenary war paints, 10 seconds left in the mission, 9 Smissmas maps, 8 sentry nests, 7 bots to kick, 6 sniper dots, 5 credits missing (kick the scout), 4 years since major update, 3 new taunts, 2 unfinished maps and a working wrap assassin!!!

every Christmas map:

still a great song to this day, still on my Christmas song list

1:10 that transition from blu to red with the engie is great.

The transition from blu to red team at the end is sooo good!

here’s to another very, very dustbowl Christmas!

This was one of my most listens of December last year, really is the perfect way to get TF2 players into the festive feeling!

Man Santa fell off... Texlow's coming in to save Christmas with another banger vid

I love how simple yet catchy this song is, and the sfm going on in the back round perfectly summaries dustbowl

So glad this music is getting some love. The whole album is amazing

Imagine if the TF2 VAs sang this, It'd be awesome!

To think that a silly song made like 13 years ago still stands as relevant in TF2

Bravo!! This certainly does our little song justice! I'm happy that people still remember this song. You sir, did an awesome job on this and it will definately live on as a TF2 Christmas classic. Cheers!

Hope this will appear again in my fyp for the next 14 years. This is a masterpiece

Gonna play this on December

It's a miracle. It's an Australian Christmas bloody miracle!

POV: You are in team of average gamers against team of tryharders with 5000+ hours ingame

2 year anniversary lets go

"Our turn to defend!" *Proceed to get pushed to the last point in under 5 minutes*

Love how perfect the animation is and the parody is perfect. So many details to look at with my most favourite detail is with that spy popping in when the engineer is done with life.

1:30 The ending was sooo good, they auto team-balanced.

I like how Demo chimes in for the last “deeefeeeeeeend”

The fact that this song is almost as old as tf2 itself is mind-blowing How have I never heard of this before

This was the best TF2 remake of a song I ever heard

*Happy 1 year anniversary to this gem*

The original is now gone 😢 It shall be missed

0:58 BLU Scout: Enters the shack 2 Explosions Later... RED Demoman: Exits the shack

Oh my, that was... painfully beautiful.

Lyrics: It’s beginning to look a lot like Dustbowl! Sentries everywhere! We are trapped inside our spawn, We have Über, so move on, There are lots of Snipers, so beware! It’s beginning to look a lot like Dustbowl! Stickies on the floor! They explode without a doubt, Flying giblets all about, And we’ve lost for sure! Our Heavies are burning, And points we’re not earning, While rockets shoot through the zone. Syringes are flying And Scouts they are dying And Kukris cut through the bone. The countdown clock is running out, And we are getting owned! It’s beginning to look a lot like Dustbowl! Soon this match will end! Can’t hope for overtime, This beating should be a crime, Our turn to defend!

Merry christmas, its almost december

Good job guys, my God feels like a classic that the community will remember

This is absolutely phenomenal, one of the best singings i have ever even heard when it comes to fan creations, so genuinly, this is amazing and you should be proud of what you have created

Merry Dustsmas.

Most normal dustbowl experience

So I've watched this video a few times because its amazing, but I only JUST noticed the timing at 0:28 where the Sniper and Heavy in the bottom left die on beat to the syllables of "Dust-bowl" and my appreciation for this video just keeps going up

Man, I haven’t heard this song in years. Good to see it got an updated look.

Merry Smissmas, everyone!

Its almost christmas again, time to play this christmas classic!

1:04 Even the singer gets shot!

There are 2 types of dustbowl playtroughs: 1) Red controls blue. 2) Blue beat the crap of Red and cap everything in less that 2 minutes

0:13 when in class wars red team got engineer

5 stars! Played the song on my speaker at max volume and now I think that my neighbors want to sing along because they are knocking on my door.

nice keep it up

Still one of the best maps. I'd say fite me, but lets be honest, you're either on defense, or quitting the map because you're not on defense.

Happy birthday to this lovely song

1:00 Its actually canon that demo can play the piano

ya know, despite what everyone says about dustbowl, i still love the map, if you get a good match with balanced teams its a really fun and tense map, whether your desperately whacking your sentry as it somehow tanks an entire teams worth of firepower hoping that it stays up for just 5 more seconds, or you come screaming through a choke point as an ubered heavy, hoping that you can kill the sentry and medic before those precocious ten seconds are over.

I haven't heard this song in YEARS, and despite having only watched it a handful of times when it first came out, it became the one thing I think about EVERY time I load into that map. "It's beginning to look a lot like DUSTBOWL...." Thank you for doing it service with your lovely homage, it's wonderful!

"this beating should be a crime" really shows how the blue team has literally not a chance

its so sad that so much people dont realise that the original gmod version by ann is blocked

0:05 this part lol

One problem with DB is that you can´t really have different tactics, because it´s just a long lane. Sentries, Stickytraps, Snipers and Pyros will always be stationed at the same chokepoints, and if offense wins it´s just because they have a few pubstompers more.

This and Bumble Mc Fumble's "Which merc is the most war criminal" were my introduction to tf2. Thank you.

It's a tradition to play this once a year.

This will definitely blow up, it will become a classic

I played this song on a tf2 server and everyone praised me for being the festive cheer to push us to victory

Merry Dustbowl everyone!

december comes around and i'm here like clockwork, merry smissmas!

Always nice to see a new spin on an old classic.

I have a mission to memorize this whole song Also watched 5 hours after it was uploaded

“Oh man This game sure looks fun! I sure the developers are still working on it!”

It’s getting that time of year again. When snipers gain new scopes and pyros gain infinite crits.

In that map it's so easy to be spawn camped yet I still love it

What a masterpiece! The animation is so clean and accurate. It looks glorious. I want to play TF2 again now.

I bet you this will age like spies finest wine 🍾

So glad this got recommended to me on Christmas. What a gift!

Videos like this are a testament to how a supposed *dead* game still has a wildly wonderful community with endless love still behind it.

The great thing about this video is that it mixes funny with relatable. Dustbowl is stalematey, spam heavy, and is generally more fun to defend then to attack on. This video deserves the views. 👍

As someone who has never played tf2, this is fire

Dustbowl: RED wins (then loses as BLU)

Hmmm... Nice job. I ticked it. * *taps LIKE* *

This is one of the best tf2 SFMs I've ever seen, not exaggerating.

why do i only stumble upon this masterpiece after a whole year

the fact this is from 2 years ago and today its the still same problem it make it so... good

0:28 , those nicely timed kills, on the beat sounds real nice

AMAZING! We need more songs like this with the SFM animations.

Rare footage of demoman not being drunk every 5 seconds

This map is very exciting. You can know you're losing from the beginning

I knew this was gonna be good when I saw the four snipers at the start

Instant loop, I still love this song lol :D Nice animation!!

The only Christmas song I am willing to listen to for 2 months

This is so well animated!
