One of the most popular download we have ever had here at Big Download is the full MP3 version of "Oh No You Didn't", the song that was created and used (in a shorten version) for the Mercenaries 2 television commercials. 1Up.com has posted up an interview with one of the song's writers, Roger Wojahn.

Wojahn's main job is, believe it or not, to write songs for commercials and they were hired by an ad agency to create a song that was more light-hearted than the norm for a game that features lots of violence. The song has apparently jumped beyond just the commercial and Internet popularity. Wojahn states, "We just found out It was playing in Jumbotrons across America this week during NFL games -- so it has obviously caught on in a very broad way in only 3 weeks. It's crazy, but we love it." Even with all the attention the song has gotten Wojahn admits he hasn't even played Mercenaries 2.

I haven't heard the song nor do I really care to. The game though, I bought it day 1 with high hopes and it is pretty much... not fun. It isn't that it is bad or especially broken (though it is buggy); the game itself just isn't fun.
