The Song That Will Save the World
from Bill and Ted Face the Music
Written by Chris Matheson, Ed Solomon
Bill and Ted struggle to write the song that is destined to save humanity, only to realize their current work is failing. The two friends reach a breaking point where they must confront their shared exhaustion, the pressure of their destiny, and the toll their obsession has taken on their personal lives.
TED: Okay, I added a couple things. Go again.
BILL: [Singing] OoEEEE-eeee-YIYIYIYI.. Dude - run with me. I think we’re onto something..
TED: Dude - seriously. Stop. I hate to say this, but we’re NOT onto anything.
BILL: What are you talking about? I think it’s our best one yet.
TED: Dude - if that’s true - then things are even worse than I thought. Cause this song sucks. You do know that, right?
BILL: I don’t agree.
TED: Bill - come on. It’s me. You don’t have to spin me. It sucks. All our songs suck.
