"Who You Gonna Root For?" is the twenty-seventh song featured in Total Drama World Tour. It is sung in Hawaiian Style. The song was initially meant to be a duet by Bridgette and Geoff, describing the final three contestants, and who everyone on the peanut gallery wants to win the competition. However, Harold and Courtney interrupt them near the end of the song, and sing about their own opinions, with Courtney singing about Gwen and Duncan, and Harold rooting for Cody.
Lyrics[]
ORIGINAL VERSION
Bridgette and Geoff: Who you gonna root for?
Who's it gonna be?
Is it Heather, Alejandro, or will you pick Cody?
Bridgette: There's Heather, she's an ice queen,
But she's been playin' hard!
Geoff: Too bad, everybody hates her.
She'd have to pay a bodyguard!
Bridgette and Geoff: Who you gonna root for?
Who's it gonna be?
Is it Heather, Alejandro, or will you pick Cody?
Harold: (rapping) Ricki-tick-ity, you're gonna hear it from me!
The only one winning this is C-O-D-Y!
Pimpin' like a king, sippin' lemonade in the shade!
Kickin' it Hawaiian style, gonna take home the cheddar!
We're gonna be all smiles!
Shawty!
Courtney: Hey! How come he gets to sing?
Geoff: He doesn't! Harold!
Harold: (rapping) Ricki-ticki-ticki-tody, give it up for my man Cody!
Harold's in the house spittin' rhymes like a roadie, a roadie!
Courtney: Gwen's a boyfriend stealer!
Harold: (rapping) Ricki-tick, whoa!
Courtney: Duncan's a dead man!
Harold: (rapping) Ricki-tick, oh, no!
Geoff: Cut! Stop the music!
