| − | |||
| − | (The first lines are talking about flowers that are red and blue respectively: roses for red and violets for blue. It's also a reference to what is used for the beginning of love poems, which is similar to some romantic relationships in the blood gulch crew. [I.e. Church and Tex used to date each other]) |

| − | (The singers are telling someone that they'll one day go through Blood Gulch. The avenue part is strange as Blood Gulch is a valley, though avenue means a street with trees on the side, and Blood Gulch has a few trees, [dead ones anyway] so it's somewhat an avenue.) |

| − | It's Red vs Red, and Blue vs. Blue. |

| − | It's I against I, and me against you. |

The second part is some one against someone else. [Me for myself and you as in someone else]) |

Revision as of 04:03, 13 August 2016
Blood Gulch Blues serves as the theme song for Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles and the overall series. It was written and performed by the band, Trocadero. The full version of the song is not normally played during webcast episodes, but is available on all the released DVDs for the original Blood Gulch Chronicles. Starting with Season 3, a remix of the original song was used and since then several other remixes were made. It's also played at the canon ending of Episode 100.
Lyrics
Roses are red
And violets are blue.
One day we'll cruise down
Blood Gulch avenue
It's red versus red
and blue versus blue
It's I against I
and me against you
Violets are blue, roses are red
Living like this we were already dead
Hop in my car
It don't have any doors
It's built like a cat
It lands on all fours
My car's like a puma
It drives on all fours
Red versus red
Blue versus blue
Trivia
