Lyrics:
Whoever can sing the higher of notes
And get through this passage cleanly
Will be the new lead, stand tall on the stage
And perform it for the queen
Where is he?
Where is the man who can sing these notes? Oh-woah
[ANTINOUS]
Screw this competition, we've been here for hours
None of us can sing this, we don't have the power
Screw this damn challenge, no more delays
Can't you guys see that we'll be late?
This is how we
[ANTINOUS, SUITORS, ANTINOUS & SUITORS]
Get held down while the food gets colder
Get held down while we prepare the stage
Get held down while the prince gets closer
Where in the hell is the decor and our cake?
Here and now, there's a chance for action
Here and now, we can take control
Here and now, we can turn this around so-
Channel the fire inside your soul
[ANTINOUS]
Haven't you noticed who's missing?
Don't you know the prince is not around?
You know today is Telemachus' birthday
And I heard today he comes back to town, so
I say, we gather near the beaches
I say, we wait 'til he arrives
I'll slip away while you all distract him
then I can go and prepare the surprises
[ANTINOUS, SUITORS, ANTINOUS & SUITORS]
(Hold him down) While I'm in the Kitchen
(Hold him down) while I start to bake
Hold him down while I slowly bring his
Buddies, his family, and favorite cake!
(Cut it down) into tiny pieces
(For the Prince) Serve it a la mode~
If the prince wonders what his gift is
Only his Mother and I will know!
[ANTINOUS]
And when the deed is done
The prince will have to see just
what we have hidden and kept in store
the gifts and the games we've prepared and more
[ANTINOUS, SUITORS, ANTINOUS & SUITORS]
And then we'll
Lift him up while his gifts are opened
Lift him up while we feed him cake
Lift him up while we sing 'Happy Birthday'
I will not let this surprise go to waste
Here and now, there's a chance for action (Chance for action)
Here and now, we can take control (Take control)
Here and now, raise your cups and glasses!
Channel the fire inside your soul and
For the prince, Lift him up! (I hope he loves my presents!)
For the prince, Lift him up!
For the prince, Lift him up! (Really I do!)
Channel the fire inside your soul, and-
(For the prince, Lift him up! )

[@Nini09-HeroOfLegend]

They age gap is only like six years, or could work lolllllllllll

[@xXconstellations_xX]

@Nini09-HeroOfLegendi heard antinous was 19

[@julig4744]

@xXconstellations_xX really?

[@esteban8471]

Nobody tell them about AO3.

[@starrysky324]

shshdjshshah thank you for making this i was hoping someone would lol, i love the ending being telemachus walking in on them instead

[@Sokajaa]

does this mean Odysseus will instead start with "for twenty years I've suffered every punishment and pain/from the wrath of gods and monsters and the screams of comerades slain I come back and find my palace decorated, stacked with gifts And worst of all I hear you dare to not invite me to my booooy???"

[@Merlin2000_]

Shhh.. you're not allowed to spoil the next one! 🤫

[@crix_b1047]

AU where the suitors were impressed with him fighting them and became his own army of bros ready to fight for him.

[@SonarTheBat]

AU where the suitors are wholesome.

[@AllyCat31415]

THE GASP AT THE END. WHAT DID YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN SINGING THAT LOUD??!! 😂

[@KalitkaEnt.]

all we know that ending wont change because Odysseus dont like those with their hands in the air and partying

[@WhiffleWaffles]

Hold Them Down is such an amazing villain song, and I can't help but to sing it to myself all of the time- this parody definitely helps take the edge off the dark subject matter of the original for a bit and makes me feel a little better. I love seeing EPIC parodies so much.

[@LMichaela94]

Now the viola "scream" in the bg is Penelope being excited for the bday party too

[@VictoriaTheBard]

I can never bring myself to sing the real lyrics so this is AWESOME!!

[@Merlin2000_]

It's why I made it!

[@spaceandstuff4736]

Peak? Definitely peak

[@Gwen-jl9sv]

I was trying to do my lip mask and saw this. IT WAS SO HARD TO NOT LAUGH 😭😭 My favorite line was “I hope he likes my presents…I really do” Also it would be funny if you made a karaoke version lol

[@Merlin2000_]

AU Antinous was really trying to butter him up

[@L-ghtlessSky]

@@Merlin2000_mf wanted that throne so bad

[@Hermes_Dawling]

@L-ghtlessSkyinstead of doing this mans wife, I’ll do HIS SON!- *gets shot immediately* -AU Antinous

[@kairhead5376]

I lost it "WHERE THE HELL IS THE DECOR AND CAKE!?" LMAOOOOO. New fav Epic Happy Ending headcanon🤣😭🤣🤣

[@GreekGodFan-v6z]

Ody: "Wait, I was gonna attack them... what is happening rn-" Antinous: "crap.. we've got a witness.. HIDE THE PRESENTS"

[@Hamlettte]

I love how the beginning acknowledges they can't reach the high notes 😂

[@danibear00]

I love how Antinous really wants Telemachus to like his presents XD

[@auparlin]

Telemachus: Throw down your weapon, and I'll ensure you'll be forgiven. Odysseus: After seeing how obnoxious parties are, I don't have much misgivings

[@Starshineadmirer]

We have seen what the king will do to those with their hands in the air 👀

[@kubalaxcz1116]

Even thought xou changed text it kinda still give me gosebumbs when xou know the original

[@icemagiciangh]

OmL. I can only hear the original parody while Hold Them Down plays. Incredible that you made a full version. 10/10 picture for it. This is what happened, guys. This is canon 🤣

[@winwin-g7z]

unironically you have such a nice singing voice it caught me off guard 😭

[@Merlin2000_]

Tysm

[@4e22chingyanwong-ed4es]

POV:antinous was possessed by polites Hades:i mean i cant stop him

[@liblib620]

Why is this parody not more popular???

[@weirdcatkid]

The way we just sang a whole improvised parody of both this and oddyseus in the EPIC: the musical discord server karaoke lmao

[@peterjones426]

That one universe where everyone is just bros.

[@ellytrabread]

Considering the original subject matter of the song, there's a hilarious dark aura around this parody, but still I love it bc I can fully enjoy a song like "Hold Them Down" guilt-free now

[@devo1246]

There were more suitors, but determined to make this the best birthday ever for Telemachus, about half of them set out LOOKING for Odysseus to try and get him there in time.

[@nalurodriigues]

THE VOCALS AMELIORATING INSTANTLY WHEN MENTIONING CAKE IS SO ME

[@Evan_S_601]

I’m obsessed with the passion and fire in the delivery of this silly song about birthday parties lol

[@hunter9687]

What Telemachus deserved not what he got 😔

[@EpicErty]

I saw someone comment on “hold him down” saying the arrow sounds like a door. So it actually being a door is perfect!

[@Venny_Wenny]

The suitors plan: Be like father's to Telemachus so Penelope softens>:)

[@fleischsalat318]

I love that extension. I hope this fandom never dies, comrades. Love you guys🥹❤

[@analivehorses]

Forget the "Happy Birthday to You" or "Las Mañanitas" I want people to sing this at my next birthday. 😂

[@rosleonumero2147]

Family friendly Hold them down:

[@aliendxde]

I HOPE HE LOVES MY PRESENTSSSS 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[@adelinaiftime3152]

more commentsss we need jorge to see this we need ayron to sing this we must add this to the silly saga asap

[@earthling_2002]

Instead of wanting Penelope as a wife the suitors want Telemachus as a son
