The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny (sometimes shortened to The Ultimate Showdown) is the sixth track on Dinosaurchestra.

It was originally released on December 22nd, 2005, alongside a flash music video animated by Shawn Vulliez.[1]

The video was uploaded to Newgrounds and went viral, garnering over 13 million views[2] and quickly becoming the most popular Lemon Demon song of all time prior to the release of Spirit Phone.[3] A reupload of the video to YouTube by the official AlbinoBlacksheep channel in 2008 garnered even more attention, receiving over 24.7 million views[4] before getting removed due to a copyright claim from the original animator.[5]

Neil spoke about the origins of the song in the album's text commentary:

"The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny' is a very high concept song. It's also my 'hit' song. I came up with the idea with Shawn Vulliez, an animator with whom I'd worked previously on a song and video about Eric Bauman."

Lyrics

Old Godzilla was hopping around
Tokyo City like a big playground
When suddenly Batman burst from the shade
and hit Godzilla with a Batgrenade
Godzilla got pissed and began to attack
but didn't expect to be blocked by Shaq
who proceeded to open up a can of Shaq Fu
When Aaron Carter came out of the blue

And he started beating up Shaquille O'Neal
Then they both got flattened by the Batmobile
but before it could make it back to the Batcave
Abraham Lincoln popped out of his grave
and took an AK-47 out from under his hat
and blew Batman away with a rat-a-tat-tat
but he ran out of bullets and he ran away
because Optimus Prime came to save the day

This is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
and only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny

Godzilla took a bite out of Optimus Prime
like Scruff McGruff took a bite out of crime
and then Shaq came back covered in a tire track
but Jackie Chan jumped out and landed on his back
and Batman was injured, and trying to get steady
when Abraham Lincoln came back with a machete
but suddenly something caught his leg and he tripped
Indiana Jones took him out with his whip

Then he saw Godzilla sneaking up from behind
and he reached for his gun which he just couldn't find
'cause Batman stole it and he shot and he missed
and Jackie Chan deflected it with his fist
then he jumped in the air and did a somersault
while Abraham Lincoln tried to pole vault
onto Optimus Prime, but they collided in the air
then they both got hit by a Care Bear Stare

This is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
and only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the Ultimate Showdown...

Angels sang out an immaculate chorus
down from the heavens descended Chuck Norris
who delivered a kick which could shatter bones
into the crotch of Indiana Jones
who fell over on the ground, writhing in pain
as Batman changed back into Bruce Wayne
but Chuck saw through his clever disguise
and he crushed Batman's head inbetween his thighs

Then Gandalf the Grey and Gandalf the White and
"Monty Python and the Holy Grail"'s Black Knight and
Benito Mussolini and The Blue Meanie and
Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie
Robocop, the Terminator, Captain Kirk, and Darth Vader
Lo Pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger
Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan,
Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan
all came out of nowhere lightning fast
and they kicked Chuck Norris in his cowboy ass
it was the bloodiest battle the world ever saw
with civilians looking on in total awe

The fight raged on for a century
many lives were claimed, but eventually
the champion stood, the rest saw their better:
Mr. Rogers in a bloodstained sweater

This is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
and only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
this is the Ultimate Showdown...
(The Ultimate Showdown)
this is The Ultimate Showdown...
(The Ultimate Showdown)
This is the Ultimate Showdown...
Of Ultimate Destiny.
