Shoutout to that one VeggieTales VHS tape "The End Of Silliness?!" which didn't just compile a bunch of silly songs but actually created LORE about Larry being depressed that his silly songs were cancelled in favor of Love Songs With Mr. Lunt and then Archibald appeared and made them both face the issue and Archibald apologized for taking away something Larry loved so much even if it wasn't perfect/wasn't something Archibald personally enjoyed. This is also where we got the absolute gem that is "The Yodeling Veterinarian of The Alps." Honestly an absolute gem of a video, peak example of optimal way to do a recap/compilation episode.

How do I explain Silly Songs With Larry to someone who's never seen Veggie Tales?
🎙️"Everybody's got a water buffalo-!"
"The fuck?"
🎙️"'Cause you're his cheese burger! His yummy cheese burger! He'll wait for you-o, oh! He'll wait for you-o!"
"What?!"
🎙️"Oh, where is my hair brush? Oh, where is my hair brush? Oh where, oh where, oh where, oh where, oh where, oh where, oh where, oh where, oh wheeeeeeeeeeere is my hair brush?"
"Right....there..."
🎙️"Barbra Manatee! You are the one for me! Sent from up above, you are the one I love!"
"I give up."
🎙️"We are the pirates who don't do anything! We just stay home and lay around! And if you ask us to do anything, we'll just tell you we don't do anything!"
*sigh*
🎙️"Kung pao chicken! Mongolian chicken! Sweet and sour chicken!" "Stop! Break a fortune cookie." "Beware the grape with wooden mallet." "Ain't that the truth."
*smh*

And Now It's Time for Silly Songs with Larry: the part where Larry comes out and Sings a Silly Song.
That's right, the VeggieTales Villain Song Showdown is in it's final days, and that means it's time for the Very Veggie Silly Song Showdown!
Playlist is Here. First Round of Polls (barring any major hang-ups) should go up on Sunday.
Match-up list and more details on how the bracket was formed under the cut.
Now, a couple of things: This is every song from a VeggieTales episode that fills the spot traditionally held by Silly Songs with Larry (so yes we do have Love Songs with Mr. Lunt, Obscure Broadway Showtunes, etc.) plus a few that even if they aren't in that specific spot, they're a non-traditional episode equivalent (feature film credits songs, song-compilation-episode premiered songs, and Lost Puppies because it just feels like a silly song).
This number of songs (and the number there would be if I did JUST the official ones) is... not traditional tournament compatible. So, to try to make this as fair as possible, I had to get creative.
First, and the easiest to see on the visual bracket, Semifinals will be Top 3 of the Left and Top 3 of the Right (as opposed to Top 2).
Second, there are 3 Round 1 "Themed" Match-ups. These do get to skip a round, which I'm not a fan of because I feel like it gives them a free pass; however, these also have 3 songs in each, which means to move on it has to beat 2 other songs as opposed to 1, and in my mind that makes it harder, so I'm thinking maybe hopefully it evens out? (If you don't like it... it's VeggieTales Silly Songs, don't take it so seriously).
These themed match-ups also serve as a way to compare similar songs. We've got the three Boyz in the Sink songs (Bellybutton, Mess Down in Egypt, and Bubble Rap), the three Christmas songs (Oh Santa, 8 Polish Foods of Christmas, and Wrapped Myself Up for Christmas), and three Pirates Who Don't Do Anything but-not-their-original-theme-song Songs (Do the Moo Shoo, Credits Song, and Rock Monster).
So that's how I tried to work with there being a non-easily-bracketable number of songs. And as far as how the match-ups were distributed: it looks random, but it's not? It was a lot so I don't want to try to describe it in too much detail, but it is based on grouping them in chronological order, pitting the groups against each other and putting them on opposite sides and in different branches of the bracket. Basically, trying to delay any potential rematches of the ten in the Ultimate Silly Song Countdown until as late in the tournament as possible.
Anyway, now for the actual Match-ups:
Left Side:
A.1: "The Water Buffalo Song" vs "Monkey"
A.2: "Lost Puppies" vs "Astonishing Wigs"
A.3: "Dance of the Cucumber" vs "Sneeze if you Need To"

B.1: "Song of the Cebu" vs "Pants"
B.2: "Pizza Angel" vs "Asteroid Cowboys"
