So, through the great and powerful Twitter, Tone posts this the other day (which I missed until last night):
@Tonedeff: Currently recording exclusive walkout music for @ChrisCamozzi’s UFC 127 PPV bout on 2.26.11. @ufc #mma
Chris Camozzi happens to be a friend of mine, and a really great guy and great fighter. And he posted this last night:
@ChrisCamozzi: Make sure you listen for my walk out music “Bang” by @tonedeff
So those of you who are MMA fans, or not, make sure to listen for Tone’s new song, and also, watch and root for my buddy Chris! He’ll be the very first fight on Saturday at UFC 127.
-_- I get to class, twitter update forwards to my phone, and I reach inside my backpack for headphones so I can listen to it on the computers in my break.. THEY’RE NOT THERE. Shit now I have to wait till I get home before I can listen to it.
Was in a loud bar, couldn’t hear what the song was but we all knew what it wasn’t…. Let us know what happened. I’m not going to push it for a couple of days myself until I know what happened. Otherwise, I’ll let you report, Tone.
So yeah, the UFC didn’t allow Camozzi to use the song. He had a day’s notice to change it last minute. Odd, too…cause the UFC itself tweeted about the song and everything. No idea what happened exactly, but he said he’d try to find out. If I hear anything, I’ll let you know. Bummer though.

Considering there’s no samples in the track, all original everything/etc, I don’t see an issue. I like to make up wild theories as to why this type of shit happens so much, and it involves a butterfly flapping it’s wings.
I think so. Honestly, I can’t think of anything else at this point.
Like, It’s not normal that something like this happens EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY TIME we try to make a move (more spefically, everytime I try to make a move). And folks wonder why I’m a jaded pessimist. There’s only so much rejection and fuckery the average human can withstand before they crack - and this type of shit has been happening to me since 1989.
So, I’ll go with the butterfly effect theory for now.
All this continuous fuckery can only mean one thing…that when CATM drops it will be the most lauded music release in the history of man, and subsequently Tone and Kno are appointed Leaders of the World.
Tonedeff said:Now, when you go this long uphill, you lose the will to climb it/
So, I wrote this song to remind me of the silver lining/
In a world this wrong, gotta carry a sword that’s strong/
And slice ‘em all with smiles, y’all – I fight ‘em as I kill with kindness/
Nobody wants a Bitter Benny or a Debbie Downer/
Or a Sad Sam that be wrapping a wet blanket around them/
Keep a sunny disposition – Breathe Out/
Cause life has a way of stripping the paint off of your dream house
That verse has got me through some rough times. Keep your head up Tone, It’ll get better. You just let us know who to send angry letters to
