It's The Count

About

It's The Count is a song from the Netflix original series A Series of Unfortunate Events, which was adapted from the book series of the same name by Lemony Snicket. The song became a subject for Replacement Remixes, of which dozens were made, though only a few gained a significant amount of views.

Origin

The song is sung by Count Olaf, played by Neil Patrick Harris, and the people who live in his house. The song describes the count's characteristics and is sung in the episode "The Bad Beginning (Part 1)" after the Baudelaire children return to the house after getting ingredients for their dinner that night.

Three days after the episode's release, the YouTube user copop22 posted a a video titled "Its the count but every count is replaced with yee!", where the word "count" was replaced by the Yee scene from the Dingo Pictures film Dinosaur Adventure (shown below, left). The video gained only 537 views. On the same day, SparkySywer uploaded a video titled "It's the Count but when they say something that rhymes with "Count", Klaus gets bitch slapped", in which every word that rhymes with count was replaced by a scene of Count Olaf slapping Klaus from the same episode of the show (shown below, right). The video gained over 13,000 views.

Spread

During the weeks after the original videos were uploaded, more Word Replacement Remixes of the song were uploaded by various users, beginning with vocalquibbler's ""It's the Count" but every "count" and letter is replaced with "bee"" (shown below), which gained over 5,400 views.
