# CaptainSparklez' "Revenge" "Revenge" is a 2011 Minecraft parody of Usher's "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" written by YouTuber CaptainSparklez and sung by TryHardNinja, swapping club-night romance for an in-game Creeper encounter. The video passed 175 million YouTube views by May 2019 and sat at the top of the most-viewed Minecraft uploads on the site. By 2017, YouTubers were posting Lego brick-film remakes, Nightcore edits and distorted "ear rape" versions as a running tribute sub-genre. ## Origin CaptainSparklez, the YouTube handle of Jordan Maron, uploaded the "Revenge" music video to his channel on August 11, 2011[1]. He wrote and produced the track as a parody of Usher's 2010 single "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love," with vocalist TryHardNinja handling the lead performance[6]. The storyline follows a Minecraft player's counter-attack against a Creeper mob after an in-game ambush. Copyright friction forced an early recut. Maron swapped the Usher-derived backing for an original composition to keep the upload live, then reverted to the parody arrangement once the dispute cleared[6]. - **Platform:** YouTube - **Creator:** CaptainSparklez (Jordan Maron) - **Date:** 2011 ## Overview Fans quote the opening couplet, "Creeper? Aw man, so we back in the mine," as copypasta inside Minecraft forums, Discord channels and YouTube comment sections[1]. A typical tribute swaps the vocals, the visuals or both: Lego brick-film animations restage the mine-dive sequence[2], while Nightcore uploaders pitch the chorus up into the high-speed anime style common on remix channels[3]. The hook treats a Creeper's point-blank explosion like an Usher-era heartbreak, which drives most of the joke. Versions range from careful shot-for-shot remakes to deliberately broken edits that overdrive every sample past clipping[5]. Compilation channels gather dozens of them into single uploads[4], so the song functions as both the subject and the raw material for ongoing Minecraft music jokes[6]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is CaptainSparklez' "Revenge"?
