# Friend Inside Me Friend Inside Me is a Toby Fox remix of Randy Newman's Toy Story song 'You've Got a Friend in Me' that pairs the eerie audio with black-and-white creepypasta-style edits of Woody. Posted to Tumblr in September 2019, the track fueled a wave of Deltarune fan theories and Twitter/X meme edits that peaked in mid-2024. ## Overview Friend Inside Me is a slowed, warped remix of Randy Newman's Toy Story theme 'You've Got a Friend in Me' made by Undertale and Deltarune creator Toby Fox, in which the vocals are rearranged so Newman repeatedly sings the phrase 'friend inside me'[1]. The track sits on Fox's Tumblr blog fwugradiation and reads less like a joke edit and more like a horror cue, which is exactly why it took off years after posting[2]. The meme built around the song usually pairs the audio with black-and-white, distorted images of Woody from Toy Story that fans started calling 'Friend'[1]. On X, the format typically involves grainy Woody stills, fake wiki screenshots, or fan-made Deltarune-style covers with the phrase 'friend inside me' written over them[3]. It reads as a small creepypasta universe stitched together from a Pixar character and a Toby Fox audio experiment. ## How It Spread In April 2023, YouTuber SpookyDood published 'Deltarune Chapter 3 Secret Boss SOLVED | Woody Theory,' arguing that a cowboy section Fox mentioned in the Deltarune newsletter and the 'friend inside me' remixes together hinted at a secret Woody-inspired boss in Deltarune: Chapter 3[1]. The video linked the meme song directly to fan speculation about Toby Fox's next release and gave the phrase a second life as an in-joke inside the Deltarune fandom[1]. On December 27th, 2023, X user @friendinsideme_ started an account dedicated to posting distorted black-and-white Woody edits set to or captioned with the track, which is credited as one of the earliest hubs for the visual side of the meme[1]. On February 18th, 2024, YouTuber VibingLeaf posted a video titled 'friend inside me' using similar creepy Woody imagery and framing it as footage supposedly found on the Toy Story wiki[1]. The format spiked in June 2024. On June 1st, 2024, X user @shadowkristal shared a Deltarune-style arrangement of the song with a pixelated black-and-white Woody sprite as cover art[4]. On June 10th, X user @TheRealLillbirb followed with a mock 'boss fight' image set imagining Woody as a Deltarune: Chapter 3 encounter, captioned simply 'friend inside me'[1]. Urban Dictionary picked up the phrase around the same window, defining it as a Toby Fox 'music gag/remix' tied to the Toy Story song[3]. ## How to Use Posts typically pair the Toby Fox audio, or just the caption 'friend inside me,' with a black-and-white, grainy, or distorted Woody image. Common conventions include fake Toy Story wiki screenshots, Deltarune-style pixel-art covers of Woody, and mock 'secret boss' fight cards that lean into the Woody Theory. The tone is often deadpan horror rather than overt joke setups. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Friend Inside Me?
