You've Got a Friend in Me was written and performed by Randy Newman for Pixar's Toy Story in 1995 and became the franchise's signature song about loyalty and friendship. Online, that wholesome reputation makes it prime material for parody, especially when paired with the long-running deez nuts setup, where a straight sentence is hijacked by the punchline. This shortened version circulates on soundboards as a compact bait-and-switch, trading on instant recognition of the melody and lyric before flipping the mood in a few seconds.
