Whether he’s singing a beautiful song from the perspective of a Graboid in the Tremors franchise or waxing poetic about Friday the 13th: A New Beginning, musician Jon Lajoie (aka Wolfie’s Just Fine) has proven himself to be a master of pop culture nostalgia, carving out a unique niche for himself with his surprisingly tender and thoughtful reflections on the past.

Lajoie is back for the Halloween season with a brand new Wolfie’s Just Fine single, and this time around he’s penned a loving ode to Mortal Kombat 2. As always, Lajoie approaches the topic from a highly personal point of view. As he explains in the video’s brief description, “This is a song about the very first time I felt good at something. I was 13. True story.”

Featuring animation by Fred Heidbrink, the official music video for “Mortal Kombat 2” is now live (stream the song here), and it finds Lajoie reflecting on his own personal childhood experience with the classic Mortal Kombat 2 arcade game. “You can make the whole class laugh by making fun of my teeth… but there is one thing you can’t do,” Lajoie sings.

“You can’t beat me… at Mortal Kombat 2.”

We all had our own “Mortal Kombat 2” growing up. That one thing that made us feel, as Lajoie notes, “good at something.” This is his loving tribute to that special feeling. Listen below.

New Wolfie’s Just Fine album “Everyone is Dead Expect Us” is available now!
