Lyrics
TARANCHULA:
Mired on the moor!
Swamped in the sludge!
Dying on the floor!
Drown in the trudge!
Drown in the Trudgemank!
Drown in the Trudgemank!
PEACEY P: {talking} Hello? What? Who? Taranchula? Naww, fool. Wait, how much? Dang!
{rapping} Peacey P back on the mic again
Getting paid to rhyme with Scandinavians
Trudging through the mank so it's easy to find me
Mixing rap and heavy metal, like the early nineties.
{talking} '91 or '93. Anthrax and P.E.
I got the Crample-O style and the Crample-O flow
Got these metal-heads all up in my "STU G.O."
And get your product phat for ya
TARANCHULA:
Get your product phat!!
BOTH:
AHHHHHHH!
PEACEY P:
I'll say it once again, just in case'd you missed it,
Clean the gravy out your ears cause your head is a biscuit.
Ya'll biscuit-heads!
That's what happens when you're down with the trudgemank!
TARANCHULA:
Get your product phat for ya!
PEACEY P:
That's what happens when you're down with the trudgemank!
TARANCHULA:
Get your product phat for ya!
PEACEY P:
That's what happens when you're down with the trudgemank!
TARANCHULA:
Get your product phat for ya!
PEACEY P:
That's what happens when you're down with the
BOTH:
Trudgemank!
PEACEY P: {talking} Maybe some of ya'll fellahs can maybe think about taking a shower or somethin' next time before ya come up in here. Stank!

Inside References
- The pizza trophy that Strong Bad said that he would give to The Cheat in crazy cartoon appears in this music video at the end.
- The run-down, industrial-like environment as well as the screw and the slab of meat at the beginning of the music video is a reference to Taranchula's previously-seen music video: "The Decoupage", seen in death metal.
- As with previous songs featuring Peacey P, this song is produced by Crample-O Stow Records. "Crample-O" appears in the lyrics and on the side of Peacey P's yacht.
- Peacey P has blood on his coat during a segment, and mentions showering and stank.
Real-World References
- Peacey P refers to Anthrax and "P.E.", who collaborated on the track "Bring the Noise" in 1991, an early teaming of heavy metal and rap.
- "Trudgment Night Soundtrack" is a reference to the 1993 soundtrack for the movie Judgment Night which featured pairings of rock and hip hop artists.
- In the parts of the video where Peacey P is wearing a multicolored jacket and hat, he is wearing a shirt underneath which references A Tribe Called Quest, a hip-hop group popular in the early '90s.
- In the spirit of the collaboration with Taranchula, Peacey P's boat exhibits "CRAMPLE-O" written as "Crample-Ø". Some Scandinavian languages use the Ø, or an "O with a stroke", in their alphabets.
- The navy and orange "34" jersey that Peacey P wears is similar to a Walter Payton jersey. Wearing retro or fashion sports jerseys is popular with some rappers.
- The loading screen simply says Load, which may be a reference to the Metallica album of same name.

Fast Forward
- The song was later referenced in an Easter Egg for 2 Part Episode: Part 2, with Fudgeclank substituted for Trudgemank.
