Sample

Big Betrayal is a song performed by Deep Cut. It is one of five songs that can play during Splatfest battles in Splatoon 3, added into rotation during Drizzle Season 2023 and first being used in the Shiver vs. Frye vs. Big Man Splatfest.

Description

Big Betrayal is a midtempo EDM track with elements of house and J-pop. The first half of the track is in the key of A minor, opening with a lighter chord progression that revolves around the v and bVI (E minor and F major) with synth leads panned left and right that resemble sirens. This transitions into the section in which Shiver and Frye harass Big Man in the music video, with electric bass and synthesizers that share a unison bass line. When the sung vocals begin, the song modulates to Bb minor, with Shiver and Frye singing hits along with the instrumental backing. The chorus comes in after a 1-bar break with the idols harmonizing with a vocoder to a punchy, syncopated melody and is followed by a halftime section similar to Till Depth Do Us Part that loops into the intro.

Big Betrayal contains two verses, both sung to the same music.

Big Betrayal features production techniques that are not often heard in Deep Cut's vocal tracks, such as sample splicing and abrupt cuts in the backing track, which are more prominent in their non-vocal tracks such as Deep Cut's Theme and Surprise and Shine.

Lyrics

The music video gives official lyrics for Big Betrayal. Most of the lyrics are nonsensical; however, the speaking portion is translated. The English version of the music video has several differences in its romanization of the sung lyrics compared to the Japanese version. There are only lyrics available for the first half of the song, as the second is not featured in the music video.

YO, Big Man, what's this photo?
Who's this happy guy laughing and surrounded by those Inkopolis girls?
Yo, Big Man. Wanna explain this photo?
'Cause it looks like a thoughtless, careless chump...
cozying up to those Inkopolis sisters!

Boohoo, well then why don't you play with
your Inkopolis friends ALL the time?

There's a good reason! I thought that
a song would put Splatsville and Inkopolis
on even better terms...%△#?%◎&@★!
Ay- Ay... AY! (Alright, listen- It's just-
I want artists from Splatsville and Inkopolis to get along!
And I thought that doing a collab would-)

If you don't bring us any money,

English dialogue (NOA)[5]

F (translation):Yo, Big Man!
You wanna explain yourself?!
Did I just see Off the Hook stealing the
spotlight at OUR big show?!

B (translation):Ay! Ay— (Wait, wait! It's not what you think!
I didn't know they were—)

F (translation):ZIP IT! If you saw the takeover happening,
why didn't you stop them?!

S (translation):My, my, Big Man.
You have so MANY friends.
Maybe you can tell us how to
settle up with Off the Hook?

B (translation):Ay? "Ay—" (Um, a thank-you email?
"What a nice surprise—")

S (translation):Have you come down
with Inkopolis fever?!
I'm asking how much
to charge them!

F (translation):DON'T think you're out
of the woods yet!
What's so great about Inkopolis?
It's getting weird how much
you love those has-beens!

B (translation):Ay! Ay— (No way! Nothing's more important
than you two and Splatsville to—)

F (translation):Oh, don't give me that
roe-eyed look!
A REAL Splatlandian would
settle it with a dance battle!

S (translation):How tragic...
You just hop from megastar
to megastar, don't you?
We must be so boring to you.

B (translation):Ay! Ay— (No Way! Nothing's more important
than you two and Splatsville to—)

S (translation):If you really mean that,
then act like it!

S (translation):Do you still remember
the Deep Cut pledge, Big Man?

F (translation):The group comes first!
Anything less would be...

B (translation):Ay... (A big...betrayal...)

Dutch dialogue[9][10]

F (translation):Yo, Ray! Wat moet dit voorstellen?!
Zag ik daarnet Tentacool de show
stelen?

(Yo, Big Man! What is the meaning of this?!
Did I see Off the Hook steal the show just now?)

B (translation):Ay! Ay— (Wacht, wacht! Het is niet
wat je denkt! Ik wist niet dat ze—)

(Ay! Ay— (Wait, wait! It is not what you think!
I didn't know they—)

F (translation):KLEP DICHT! Je zag toch wat ze deden?
Waarom stopte je ze niet?

(SHUT IT! Surely you saw what they were doing?
Why didn't you stop them?)

S (translation):Ray toch, Ray toch.
Je wilt ook IEDEREEN te vriend houden.
Misschien heb je ook een idee hoe we dit met
Tentacool kunnen regelen?

(Oh Big Man, Oh Big Man.
You want to get along with EVERYONE.
Perhaps you also have an idea how
we can arrange this with Off the Hook?)

B (translation):Ay? "Ay—" (Eh, met een dankmailtje?
"Wat een leuke verrassing—")

(Ay? "Ay—" (Uh, with a thank-you email?
"Such a fun surprise—")

S (translation):Zit je hoofd opeens vol inkt?
Ik bedoel hoeveel we ze in rekening
moeten brengen!

(Is your head suddenly full of ink?
I mean how much we should charge them!)

F (translation):Denk maar NIET dat we het
hierbij laten zitten!
Wat is er zo geweldig aan Inkopolis?
Beetje vreemd, hoe dol je op
die losers bent!

(But DON'T think we leave it at that!
What is so amazing about Inkopolis?
A bit odd, how fond you are of those losers!)

B (translation):Ay— (Maar hoe meer we bekend zijn in
Inkopolis, hoe meer we Splatla—)

(Ay— (But the more we are known in Inkopolis,
the more we Splatla—)

F (translation):O, bespaar me die droeve blik!
Een ECHTE Splatlander lost zoiets op
met een dance-battle!

(Oh, spare me that miserable glance!
A TRUE Splatlandian solves such a thing
with a dance battle!)

S (translation):Zo triest...
Je hopt gewoon van megaster naar
megaster, hè?
Je zult ons wel een saai
stelletje vinden.

(So sad...
You simply hop from megastar to megastar, eh?
You must find us a boring bunch.)

B (translation):Ay! Ay— (Echt niet! Niets is belangrijker
dan jullie twee en Splatsville om—)

Ay! Ay— (I really don't! Nothing is more important
than you two and Splatsville to—)

S (translation):Als je dat echt meent, moet je
je daar ook naar gedragen!

(If you truly mean that,
you should act accordingly!)

S (translation):Herinner je je nog de Deep Cut-eed?

(Do you still remember the Deep Cut oath?)

F (translation):De groep komt eerst! Al het andere
betekent...

(The group comes first!
Everything else means...)

B (translation):Ay... (Een groot...verraad...)

(Ay... (A great... betrayal...)

French dialogue (NOA)[11]

F (translation):Oh, Raimi!
Tu peux m'expliquer ça?
J'ai rêvé ou Tentacool est venu nous
piquer la vedette en plein méga concert?

(Yo, Big Man! Can you explain this? Am I dreaming or did Off the Hook just steal the spotlight at our big concert?)

B (translation):Ay, ay! (Non, non! C'est pas ce que tu crois!
Je savais pas que...)

(Ay, ay! (No, no! It's not what you think!
I had no idea that...))

F (translation):Arrête un peu! Pourquoi tu les as laissé
faire quand elles ont débarqué?

(Hold it! Why did you just let it happen?)

S (translation):Dis-moi, Raimi...
Toi qui as tellement d'amis...
À ton avis, comment on pourrait
être quittes avec Tentacool?

(Tell me, Big Man... You have so many friends... How could you think we would be cool with Off the Hook?)

B (translation):Ay? « Ay... » (Euh, un petit courriel, peut-être?)
(« Quelle merveilleuse surprise d'avoir... »)

(Ay? "Ay..." (Uh, a little email, maybe?) ("Wouldn't it be a nice surprise to have a..."))

S (translation):T'as un rhume de cerveau,
ou quoi?
Je te demande combien
elles vont payer!

(Are you not listening, Big Man? I'm askin' ya how you think they'll pay for this!)

F (translation):Tu vas pas t'en sortir
aussi facilement!
Qu'est-ce que ça a de si génial,
Chromapolis?
T'aimes beaucoup trop ces ringards,
c'est louche!

(You're not getting out of this that easy, man! What's so great about Inkopolis, anyhow? You love those suckers way too much, it's gross!)

B (translation):Ay! (Mais plus on connaît de gens à Chromapolis,
plus on peut faire la pub de la Contrée Cla...)

(Ay! (But the more we get to know folks from Inkopolis, the more publicity we get for the Splatlands!))

F (translation):Oh, essaie pas
de m'embobiner!
Un vrai claboussien réglerait
ça par un défi de danse!

(Oh, don't try to convince me! A real Splatlandian would solve this via dance battle!)

S (translation):La vie est si dure pour toi...
Toujours à passer d'une
superstar à l'autre...
Tu dois t'ennuyer ferme,
mon pauvre Raimi...

(Oh, your life is so hard, huh... Always switching from one superstar to another... You've gotta be getting bored, poor Big Man...)

B (translation):Ay! (Non! Rien n'est plus important pour moi
que la Cité-Clabousse et vous deux...)

(Ay! (No! Nothin's more important to me than Splatsville and you two...))

S (translation):Si tu le penses vraiment,
alors prouve-le!

(If you really think it, then show us!)

S (translation):T'as pas oublié le serment
des Tridenfer, Raimi?

(Ya haven't forgotten our Deep Cut motto, have ya, Big Man?) F (translation):Le groupe avant tout!

Erzähl mal, was das soll!
Du lässt TentaCool UNSER
Konzert kapern?

B (translation):Ay! Ay-- (Warte, Muri, warte! Ich
wusste doch nicht, dass die beiden--)

F (translation):STILL, DU! Hättest sie doch aufhalten
können mit deinen Riesenflossen!

S (translation):Mantaro, Mantaro...
Was du alles für Freunde hast.
Sag doch, wie könnte man
TentaCool denn erreichen?

B (translation):Ay? „Ay--" (Äh, eine Dankeschön-Email?)

S (translation):Hast du Inkopolis-Fieber?
Ich will GELD von denen sehen!

F (translation):Mit dir sind wir noch nicht fertig!
Was ist so toll an Inkopolis?
SPLATSVILLE ist doch jetzt angesagt!

B (translation):Ay-- (Aber je mehr Leute wir dort kennen, desto
mehr Werbung können wir für Splatsvil--)

F (translation):Gaaah, dass ich nicht lachse!
In Splatsville löst man so was
mit 'nem Tanz-Battle!

S (translation):Ojemine, wie traurig...
Lachst dir immer neue Megastars an!
Langweilst du dich so sehr mit uns?

B (translation):Ay! Ay-- (N-nicht doch! Was Wichtigeres

con le Tenta Cool?

B (translation):Man? "Man..." (Uhm, con un'e-mail di
ringraziamento? "Che bella sorpresa...")

S (translation):Ma che hai, la febbre di Coloropoli?!
Ti sto chiedendo quanto farle pagare!

F (translation):Non pensare di cavartela
cosi facilmente!
Cos'ha di tanto speciale Coloropoli?
Il tuo amore per quei dilettanti inizia
davvero a preoccuparmi!

B (translation):Man... (Ma più gente di Coloropoli conosciamo,
più possiamo sponsorizzare Splatt...)

F (translation):Non mi impietosisci!
Un vero splattoniano la risolverebbe
con una danza all'ultimo tentacolo!

Passi da una megastar all'altra, eh?
Quanto devi annoiarti con noi!

B (translation):Man! Man... (No! Non c'è niente di più

Korean dialogue[19]

우츠호:어이, 만타로! 이게 어찌 된 일이냐!
왜 우리의 소중한 라이브에서 텐타뭐시기가 노래를 부른 것이야~!

만타로:만타~!!(잠깐, 잠깐, 이번엔 아니야! 나도 전허 몰랐□&○%$■☆♭*!)

우츠호:바보 녀석! 그 행패를 조용히 보고 있던 너도 똑같으니라~!!

후우카:어~머, 만타로 씨 발이 참으로 넓으시네예
자, 그럼 텐타클즈 분들과 어떻게 마무리할지도 알려 주시겠지예?

만타로:음… 우선은 감사의 메일을 보내야지
오늘은 기쁜 서프라이즈를%△#?%◎&@★!

후우카:어떻게 되갚아 줄지 묻고 있다 카이!!
오더폴리스스러운 소리나 하고 있을 기가?!

우츠호:그게 끝이 아니니라!
날이 갈수록 심해지는 오더폴리스를 향한 곽심…
내 더 이상 좌시할 수 없 느니라, 만타로!

만타로:하지만! 오더폴리스를 알아야
카오폴리스를 더욱 번창시킬 수 ◎$♪✕△\&?#!

우츠호:눈 반짝이지 말거라!!
카오폴리스 출신은 주먹으로 얘기해야 하거늘~!!!

후우카:잠깐, 잠깐, 잠깐…
거물들 상대로 바빠 보이는구마!
우리는 이제 아무래도 좋은가 보다

만타로:아니야! 나에게 가장 소중한 건 두 사람과 카오폴리스 ✕△☆#♭●□★※!

후우카:그렇다면 태도로 「성의」를 보여 보그래이!

후우카:만타로, 삼합파의 맹세는 잊지 않았겠제?

우츠호:우리들의 인연은 절대적이다! 배신자에게는…

만타로:만타…(철퇴를… Big Betrayal…)

Trivia

  • Each idol's main concerns as expressed in the translated argument portion of the song in the music video reflect the stances they held in the Money vs. Fame vs. Love Splatfest.
    • Shiver is concerned with Big Man making money without giving his bandmates a cut, in alignment with her representing Team Money.
    • Frye is concerned with Big Man's association with the Squid Sisters damaging Deep Cut's reputation amidst Inkopolis and Splatsville's ongoing rivalry, in alignment with her representing Team Fame.
    • Big Man is concerned with helping build friendly relations between Inkopolitan and Splatlandian musicians through music collaborations, in alignment with him representing Team Love.
    • Additionally, in the interview between Marie, Marina, and Big Man in Splatune 3, Big Man hints at their positions by saying that Shiver wants to be rich and Frye wants to be famous, but that he wants to bring Inkopolis and the Splatlands together.
  • This is one of the few songs to include a word from a real language in its lyrics, namely the phrase "pishagerudo" (ピシャゲルド), which is part of the Japanese name of the song.
  • Big Betrayal is one of the only songs in the franchise to have any of their lyrics translated, with the others being Suffer No Fools and Three Wishes.
  • This song seems to have a very similar beginning to a song written by Bentley Jones called "Dreams of an Absolution", which uses a part from a song that released in 1998 called "Music Sounds Better With You" by Stardust.

Etymology

Big Betrayal is a reference to Big Man's involvement in the production of Liquid Sunshine with the Squid Sisters without informing Shiver and Frye, who see this as a betrayal of Deep Cut. "Big" in the name might also refer to Big Man.

Names in other languages

The name of the song is the same as English in all languages except for Japanese.
