"Wreck It, Wreck-It Ralph" is one of the three theme songs of Disney's 2012 animated feature film Wreck-It Ralph. It is performed by Buckner & Garcia, who intentionally gave the song a retro, 80s vibe, much like the songs on their album Pac-Man Fever.
Summary
The song tells the storyline of the game Fix-It Felix Jr. including the reason why Ralph wants to wreck the building, and where Felix got his hammer.
These topics are mentioned and shown during Ralph's share at Bad-Anon. The song itself was played during the credits after Sugar Rush, and an instrumental version can also be heard in the background during Ralph and Felix's conversation at Fix-It Felix Jr.'s 30th Anniversary.
Lyrics
Wreck-It Ralph is a giant of a man,
Nine feet tall with really big hands
Living in a stump on his very own land,
Until his world went crazy
He was minding his own business on the day they came
They showed a piece of paper saying "eminent domain"
They built an apartment building saying progress was to blame
So he got mad, and he turned bad
Brick by brick, he’s gonna take his land back!
Wreck it, Wreck-It Ralph, as fast as you can
You know you can do it with your colossal hands
Don’t let Fix-It Felix and that building stand
I wreck it (I wreck it)
I fix it (I fix it)
I wreck it (I wreck it)
I fix it (I fix it)...
You fixed it!
Fix-It Felix is a really great guy
Watch him get all turbocharged when he eats a pie
Not just a superintendent, he’s a super super guy
And everybody loves him
With his trusty tool belt and steel-toed shoes
Nicelanders believe that Felix just can't lose
So when Wreck-It Ralph starts to come unglued
He doesn’t get mad, 'cause he’s so rad
Brick by brick, he’s gonna build it back!
Fix it, Fix-It Felix, as fast as you can
Use the magic hammer you got from your old man
'Cause you know Wreck-It Ralph won’t let that building stand
I wreck it (I wreck it)
I fix it (I fix it)
I wreck it (I wreck it)
I fix it (I fix it)...
Every level, tension’s getting stronger (tension's strong)
So be careful just a little longer (just a little longer)
You’ll get a medal when your work is through
Just for you
Just for you
Just for you...
Wreck it, Wreck-It Ralph, as fast as you can
You know you can do it with your colossal hands
So don’t let Fix-It Felix and that building stand
I wreck it (I wreck it)
I fix it (I fix it)
Fix it, Fix-It Felix, as fast as you can
Use the magic hammer you got from your old man
'Cause you know Wreck-It Ralph won’t let that building stand
I wreck it (I wreck it)
I fix it (I fix it)
I wreck it (I wreck it)
I fix it (I fix it)
You fixed it!
Trivia
- Although Danny Jones provided the lead vocals (as well as drums as he has been doing for Buckner & Garcia since 1999) due to the death of the duo's lead singer and one of two guitarists, Gary Garcia at his home in Englewood, Florida in 2011, the song was credited to "Buckner & Garcia". Jerry Buckner still provided the keyboard (along with Mike Stewart who also played the bass) and backing vocals.
- A snippet of the, "You fixed it!" line could be heard during the Wreck-It Ralph segment of Celebrate the Magic in Walt Disney World.
