The Prince of Egypt Soundtrack - "Playing With The Big Boys" (Track 9)

[TheBluecotton24]

2:40 - 2:48 used to scare me so much when i was little

[TheVaporeonrules234]

Ramases always seemed to have a British accent. Especially when he said, "what on earth are you dressed as?"

[Leekduck]

Egyptian gods sound like Pokemon

[thefulkboy]

@TheBlueBlur78 Karma...

[SyrenaLover]

press 8 and it sounds like an unknown disease XD lol...

[SyrenaLover]

at 0:43 , doesn't it sound like he's saying "pancake"? XD

[IshapWielder]

I still find it amusing that when working with magic they don't call on Isis.... lol

[szrsplaythroughs]

@IshapWielder lol good point



[RyanmDeane1]

@TheBlueBlur78 TROOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL!!!!!

[TheBlueBlur78]

Not to put down anyone's religion, but the only reason Moses was able to best the Pharoah's sorcerers was because they had karma working against them. They were corrupt and had lost their actual connection to the gods. On the flip side, Moses had karma working for him and received his power from a centralized source (as opposed to an entire pantheon of warring gods and goddesses). Once again, I do not intend to insult any person's religion, please, forgive my ignorance.

[kalshaikh28]

@TheBlueBlur78 to each there own belief

[Atheneastro]

And this is the ENGLISH version. Martin Short actually manages to sound scary, which is impressive. In the German version, Huy sounds even scarier.

[Coolgal101100]

Osiris, Isis, Horus, Seth, Bastet, I could go on forever; I am an EXPERT on ancient Egypt!

[Atheneastro]

@Coolgal101100 Neith...

[athomicritics]

@Coolgal101100 i wish they could have tell more gods names when they sing very fast

[JezabelCumming]

LOL I would of never found this if it wasnt for Yugioh! XD

[x3ph34r]

I knew who half those Gods are thanks to YuGiOh. I feel like such a cool kid now.

[StereotypeLucas]

@x3ph34r me too!!! lol

[christianalarcon]

best villain song ever

[promusicality]

My sister and I intend to sing this together in a talent show. And we are as creepy as HECK together. This song can make anyone sound and look frightening, I tell you. XDDD It's absolutely amazing that way.

[TheAzzo1995]

Ohh that's pretty

[Joakim1400]

How come the Nostalgia Critic didn't include this song in his list of top 11 villain songs!!! D=

[MrShaneo65]

@Joakim1400 well at least hewylewis put it in his top 20 villains songs

[Kamisa]

They did that whole song just so the two magicians could turn two poles into snakes? Ummm Moses JUST did that!

[alexdejong1234]

On par with Disney. And catchy too...

[hellfire6028]

nephryts, horus, neut, hanuu, neckbec, sobek, reshtume, anuks, hemsute,patah, respuh anubis, RAHHHH

[sexyluverboy1101]

@Mordgi that is what i was thinking when i watched it!!

[ChobiChiX]

I love this song so much! My favorite in the movie. I just love listening to it. 

[ShivuTheWolf]

I love how, in the film, they had all those mirrors for spotlights, just in case they should suddenly need to break into song :D

[Kamisa]

@ShivuTheWolf Omg Your comment made my day! I busted out laughing!

[ShivuTheWolf]

@Kamisa XDD lol!

[RealValkyrieCain]

doing GCSE revision is no longer boring...

[BaseballPitcherM]

Does anyone else adore the way they say the Gods' names at 1:54

[Empoleon395]

oh that's pretty...

[The2314324]

the names of these gods are kinda cool....

[Khayman8888]

Ra and Horus > Jehova, ALL DAY ERRDAY

[mstor536]

That's what he said!!!

[AlexaLuvs]

this song makes me feel like a bamf

[ModerSverige]

Anubis will fart the head of Jehovah

[noctalune]

Oh, that's pretty.

[theumgal]

But God totally say's 'suck it' to this song with The Plagues song :D love em both.

[Sharix90]

I may be mistaken, but didn't God say to Moses at one point in the Bible that he would "advise himself with the Egyptian gods" or something of that manner?

[OperationAnime262]

God was only jealous of the Egyptian Gods that's why he destroyed them and because they had a far more advanced civilisation than what Moses's God could create.

[Jakezing]

@OperationAnime262 which is why he was able to destroy them? how does that work

[OperationAnime262]

@Jakezing Only out of jealousy.

[idork]

@OperationAnime262 He didn't destroy anything. The Egyptian Civilization lasted thousands of years after this event, as well as their religion.

[Jakezing]

as for pyramid building, they werent built with slaves anyways, they were built with the farmers who had nothing better to do at the time because of how farming on the nile works. 

[dudewheresmyjew]

Passed my Egyptian Gods test because of this.

Thanks Steve Martin.

[Atheneastro]

@dudewheresmyjew Thank you, Martin and Short!

[dkb201998]

1:06 - 1:24 Is My Fav Part

[dkb201998]

1:19 - 1:24 Epic

LoL Oh thats pretty

[DeanFricknWinchester]

my boyfriend sings this to me all the time lol

[101jir]

This should be the Nasus theme =P in LOL. He even has a pharoh skin =D.

[Videot01]

I like how these guys use a huge show stopper and God's just like, "Meh, here's a snake. Trust me you're gonna see a whole lot worse later."

[o3oSeyren]

if I were Moses, I would have a bored face and I'd calmly say at the end of their show: "you suck." xD face -> -_-

[Mordgi]

and Moses 'cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and it became a serpent. Then pharaoh also called the magicians of Egypt,they also did in like manner with thier enchantmenrs. For they cast down every man his rod, and they did become serpents,' and the Pharoh's magicians did taunt Moses, saying, "You're playing with the big boys now."

[ShivuTheWolf]

Hotep and Huy were epic, wish they had a bigger part... :/

[Mordgi]

2:45

Well my snake ate you're snakes, so who's laughing now?

[xDangerouslyAwkwardx]

Jehovah is superior to Ra. But DANG IT, why don't the good guys EVER get songs like this?!

[HugMe201]

@xDangerouslyAwkwardx I know right

[ElizaTheRaccoon]

@xDangerouslyAwkwardx It's because biblical miracles NEVER come with a build-up. Staffs to serpents, plagues, bread from heaven, tame lions, men walking into a furnace and coming out unscathed... none of these ever got a song and dance. God's never exactly been... flashy.

[Zeramourn]

@xDangerouslyAwkwardx Don't say that, you know Jehovah had good theme songs too.

[carolinesalv]

@xDangerouslyAwkwardx LOL good one!!

[thequeenundisputed]

@xDangerouslyAwkwardx I really appreciate that you used his actual name. I so rarely see anyone calling him Jehovah online other than me. But I completely agree.

[Flyingtart]

@thequeenundisputed

Isn't he called Jahve?

[thequeenundisputed]

@Flyingtart Who? God? If so then his name is pronounced different in many different languages. The first half of the bible was written in Hebrew (commonly referred to as the old testament) and the Hebrew language doesn't use vowels so his name was spelled YHWH. Because of this when the Greek part of the bible was being written, they didn't know what to write his name as so they wrote everything in Greek except Jesus and Jehovahs names which they wrote in Hebrew so no one today knows...

[thequeenundisputed]

@Flyingtart the correct spelling and pronunciation but as long as you're giving him the respect he deserves by trying to use his name then it's fine. Like for example my niece pronounces my name wrong because its a difficult name to pronounce however I appreciate that she tries and I prefer much more than if she were to instead call me girl or something because she doesn't know how to pronounce my name correctly.

[Chessire1]

@xDangerouslyAwkwardx did you actually listen to when you believe? i think that one is pretty cool as well.

[WildGiggleGirl]

Any chance this song had of making either of the priests seem the least bit threatening kind of goes down the toilet once you imagine Steve Martin and Martin Short singing this in the studio. Then it just gets hilarious.

[Atheneastro]

@WildGiggleGirl However... I have heard the German version, with Santiago Ziesmer and the late Joachim Kemmer. And they can sound REALLY threatening.

[metalheadnick555]

Am I the only one who can see Nile doing a really awesome version of this?

[tddarkness]

@metalheadnick555 YYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[Rikusi]

@metalheadnick555 OH MY GOD YES!! That, would be epic.



[Disneyfan5150]

like the song but cant take steve martin seriously lol

[Mu91c14n]

Question: how come all the bad guys have the really catchy songs in movies?

[SinDawg030]

@Mu91c14n Evil is Classy?

[psychoguy40]

When they say Sorbek, I think of Sorbet

[crowprincess14]

Steve martin is in this! I had no idea!

[ometta7]

I'm a misotheist. I actively hate God.

But goddamn this movie is amazing. Beautifully animated, excellent voice acting, and wonderful songs. This is the type of shit you can enjoy regardless of what you believe.

[MrGrapeRaper]

@ometta7 THANK YOU. I'm an atheist, personally, and I think this movie is fucking GORGEOUS. And when people start having seizures over beliefs, I want to shake the screen.

[ometta7]

@MrGrapeRaper Maybe make it bite down on a stick so that it doesn't swallow it's tongue?

[ometta7]

@MrGrapeRaper Sorry. I'm pretty fucking high right now. XD

[Onthedouble2nowhere]

Amazing movie

[LunaBell08]

You know, when Moses's snake ate both of the "Big Boy's"....you'd think they would think, "Aw, crap he's got people up there on his side."

[nik10hedgehog]

we was learning about Egypt and their gods...i started to do the chant. which really helped me on my test XD

[mappytellez]

I Don't Really Believe Much In God Yet, I'm Addicted To This Movie! 

[onlyslightlyinsane1]

@mappytellez its a sign from God jk i believe in God but i understand where your coming from :) its an amazing movie with great music

[TheCheese06z]

I don't know why but Martin Short sounds far scarier than Steve Martin does in this song.. XD they're both fairly frightening and intimidating sounding but martin short just... he sounds literally like a snake. XDD

[Atheneastro]

@TheCheese06z You're right. And that's the ENGLISH version of the song!

[psychoguy40]

I'm an Atheist an I still love this movie

[SoDebonair89]

this was my favorite song from that movie...the beginning is amazing...

[musicsinga]

Anyone else picturing Yu-Gi-Oh duel monsters when they're naming the gods in the beginning? XD

[NijenK99]

@musicsinga Thank the gods! I'm not the only one! XD

[scorpianofthesun]

@musicsinga With Seto Kaiba acting all high and mighty in the background being all, "I will FINALLY defeat you, Yugi Moto! And then, I will finaly reclaim my rightful title as number one duelist. MUAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!"

Yeah.

[yukikoyuma]

I wish I could've recorded my High School Talent Show performance of this.. Me and two of my friends played my Original Characters and did this.. we won first place.

[ParasiteQueen1]

SON...

[shinigami109]

This song/scene scared me so much when i first saw it as a kid!

[shadobian11]

@shinigami109 Me too. I almost screamed my lungs out. If you know what I mean.

[shadobian11]

Nikki Kangaroo: OH SHUT UP!

Max Mosquito: I saw several dance violations!

Perri: I hate this song!

[shadobian11]

most of these m(fake) Egyptian gods have Ss at the begining at their name.

[AntienElessar]

@shadobian11 Actually all of them are actual Egyptian gods. Just look it up.

[shadobian11]

@AntienElessar I know I am just saying they never existed.

[AlexaLuvs]

this song makes me feel evil...

[kittylovesyou1000]

played this with my bffl in the ex-school's bathroom today! we went for a visit and couldn;t help ourselves! lool. PLAYING WITH THE BIG BOYS NOW! >:)

[cytorakdemon]

I saw this in theaters thinking "that was a pretty cool animated movie over Egyptian history" then I realized "wait a minute... I just willing saw a movie that gave me a bible lesson... well played Dreamworks, well played."

[Genereaver]

@cytorakdemon The sad part is, it's not Egyptian history at all. There is nothing anywhere except the bible (written hundreds of years after the 'events') that suggests the Egyptians used slaves, and quite a lot of recorded evidence that they hired peasants to build everything.

[101jir]

@Genereaver Wouldn't be surprising though. Seems pretty realistic, as very few empires were willing to hire workers to build huge monuments. If they didn't, that would have really set them apart from other empires of the time, and would likely have been a source of pride.

[101jir]

@Genereaver Wait, where is this recorded evidence of hired peasents?

[Genereaver]

@101jir

Just do a quick google search for 'egyptian pyramids built not by slaves'.

Enjoy!

[101jir]

@Genereaver @Genereaver Correct me if I am wrong, but all I am finding as evidence is the way that they were probably treated. Sure, this would deviate a great deal from most civilizations, but a few questions remain. First, if they were all treated so well with possibly even expensive meals, how were all of them supported on what would be extremely expensive? How does a certain level of respect for the slaves rule out slavery? As far as the distance the workers lived, the draft works the same.

[Genereaver]

@101jir Did you actually read the articles? They were made tax-exempt for working on the pyramids, and they graffiti'd that they were 'friends of Khufu'. Slaves wouldn't need tax-exempt status, or consider themselves friends of the Pharaoh.

And why would slaves get their own tombs right next to the pyramids? You're assuming they were slaves because of other civilizations, but not all ancient civilizations were the same, and I can't think of any pre-christianity civilizations that slaved.

[101jir]

@Genereaver Again, there is a big differance between not being slaves and being well respected slaves.Being considered "friends of the pharohs" only means that they were respected for what they did. Let me put it another way, look at Vietnam. We make a huge deal about respecting our veterans, giving them bonuses, etc, but does that mean that we didn't force them via draft into a war in which they suffered horrid conditions? I hope this clarifys my point.

[101jir]

@Genereaver On the point of the pre-Christianity nations enslaving, we have the Greeks for one, and the Romans, while not exactly having slavery pre-Christianity (although the times I believe are close), were certainly not influenced by Christianity. This was at a time when Christianity was being persecuted. IDK about the Persians, although they certainly did not enslave the people they overtook, but they may yet have had slaves, IDK.

[Jakezing]

@101jir EVERY COUNTRY and SOCIETY in the history of human kind has had slavery. And if you think all slavery is south US style slavery or african slavery you are an idiot.

[101jir]

@Jakezing As far as the Persians, I didn't say they didn't have slavery, just that they didn't take free people that they overtook and make them into slaves. Rome I am not as sure about. As far as the type of slavery, that is exactly what I just said. It is Genereaver that insisted that slavery is always brutal and without respect of any form to the slave. As far as Christianity, I just said that it wasn't the force behind the Romans having slavery. See my comment below it.

[hellfire6028]

@101jir youd be surprised how long slavery has been around. Since atleast 8,000 bc when ancient tribes enslaved others. After them were the illyans, greeks, barbarians, huns, chineese, birbons, germanic tribes, thracians, jews (ironic i know), and the arabs.I could continue up to today but that would just be boring. :P

[101jir]

@hellfire6028 Thank you for that information. I take it then that you support my argument? In the original discussion with Genereaver on page 4 [at the time of posting this comment], he said that he did not know of any pre-Christianity nations that enslaved others. I came up with a few examples, but thank you for your far more numerous examples.

[hellfire6028]

@101jir yes i do agree with you. Also you are very polite :P

[101jir]

@hellfire6028 Sorry if I came off as wondering whether you were intentionally supporting my argument or not, the last guy thought that I was arguing against slavery's existance pre-Christianity. THX for the complement.

[Jakezing]

@Genereaver "and I can't think of any pre-christianity civilizations that slaved." are you a fucking retard?

[paigea92]

God > Ra

[idkai]

@paigea92 You used the wrong symbol, the correct way is God < Ra.

[lambertlover978]

@idkai Ra combines red powder and water to make -gasp- RED WATER, God turns a whole river into blood with a staff.....I'm pretty sure @paigea92 had it correct with God > RA

[idkai]

@lambertlover978 At least Ra doesn't spend all day killing people.

[noobbush]

@idkai LOL!

[usaforlife]

@idkai

Yea, like how Mao Zhedong killed all those people in four years: God told him to do it.

Wait a minute...

[paigea92]

@idkai Uh, no. I put the CORRECT symbol. Sorry, I don't follow 'Ra'. Actually, scratch that. I'm not sorry about that at all.

[SuperSterlingJ]

This piece of music is one of Hans Zimmer´s best compositions.

[redsorakingdomhearts]

I now realize that is because of this song, I plan to get a cat and name it after Ra. Just so randomly I can start singing this song to it.

[kittylovesyou1000]

@redsorakingdomhearts loool i got a cat named Ra and love singing this to it. the little thing (it's still a kitten) almost fell off the bed the first time i snuck up on him and sang the beginning. especially when i sang 'Playing with the big boys NOW'. LMAO!

[plutoniumtangent]

Gosh, this song always gave the creeps... Its awesome as all getout though : P I love the Egyptian god names included in the lyrics.

[Username14388]

Playing with the big boys sounds kind of gay man.

[Tommy314ful]

read the red pyramid. you'll have these gods and goddesses down in no time.

[JacobRudduck]

Wow, Steve Martin can really sing.

[Maria30K]

Moses: I do not think I have friends in high-places, I know it. I mean I put my staff on the floor and it turned into a snake. You had to do that long-chant. Enough said.

[Thomazbr]

@Maria30K Well, yeah but during the whole musical act the dudes perfomed, Invocation, Teleportation, Transformation and funky dance routines

[Pryodroplet]

I use this song to troll my friends when I am winning

[cranky626]

okay?

[noobbush]

Oeh that's pretty :D

Sounded kinda gay xD

[kittylovesyou1000]

showoffs... lol

[AttackOfTheLlamas11]

Ouu, that's pretty.

[HellaEsha]

They just happened to have this perfectly choreographed dance for when they had to show up moses and his silly twig? haha

[tosswartul]

@HellaEsha XD

[WORMIE4456W]

i heard sekhmet the goddess of lions anubis god of dead nephthys the goddess of rivers nekhbet the godess of vultures ra the god of the sun and former king horus the king of gods set the god of chaos (at least i thought that i heard him) ptah the god of creation

[WORMIE4456W]

it was the pride of egypt that caused its downfall wasnt it?

[starpotter04]

@WORMIE4456W Indeed it was, Pride is everyone's downfall...

[noobbush]

@WORMIE4456W No it was about the fucked up sense of humor god has, punishing him trough his whole land by murdering innocent egyptian people who did nothing wrong, but the pharaoh, the guy who caused that shit happening there, was just sittin his big fat ass in his palace without god punishing HIM.

[WORMIE4456W]

@noobbush ... ok then O.o

[TheTimeforwar]

@noobbush

Shows you just how stupid the Hebrew God was

[noobbush]

@TheTimeforwar I know right xD He's not a loving and forgiving god, he's just a fucking asshole.

[OriginalDigit]

2:34 LOVE IT.

[ABchihuahua98]

What really got me about this song is that the images shown accutually represented the god who's name was being said. Very well done~

[nhelser1]

steve martin and martin short sing this...love it

[eskimoicecream1]

I knew the dudes voice sounded familiar!!! Steve Martin!!!!! lol didn't know that :P

[PSshadow92]

Thanks to Rick Riordan, I caught all those names.

[ABchihuahua98]

@PSshadow92 Same here XD Seriously, that was the first thing that came to mind when the names came up.

[NCRarmyRANGER]

@PSshadow92 YESS

[151292291]

They said Ra twice...

Good song though :) always brings back memories <3

[Mematsu]

This is honestly my favorite song in the whole movie.

[disneysmagic92]

I would love to see Steve Martin and Martin Short sing this song live. That would be a dream come true for me. They are just awesome.

[AMY1213141]

ra amun aten anubis montu bastet knomsu horus mut isis osris bes nekhbet maat khepri atum hathor khnum min sekhmet nut ptah thoth

[GetoCoolAid]

This...honestly is my least favorite song in the movie. It's just too out of place for me, and it ruined what was one of the best scenes in the movie.

[Reanimatorable]

@GetoCoolAid How so? It fits perfectly into the story. It's a competition of power to show moses who's boss. Trying to show the might of Egyptian gods.

[GetoCoolAid]

@Reanimatorable

Well, for me, this is far past the point in the movie where the "cartoonishness", I guess you could say, ends. This is a big serious point in the movie, where Moses shows Rameses the power he has. This song just puts that moment to a dead stop for me, although I do really like the imagery in the scene. It just seems a little too gimmicky and generic villian song-y. It's okay, I like it, but it was just the weakest song in the movie, IMO

[PAndrejs]

Is it just me or is the whole "Prince of Egypt" kind of scary? I like it :)

[akita345]

@queenbluebonnet. That's awesome :)

[queenbluebonnet]

I know half the gods they're chanting in this song!! :D

[akita345]

By the power of Ra! gotta love this song ^_^
