"Funk do Mortal Kombat" is a remix of "Techno Syndrome" in funk carioca style, released by the musical group Funk You Bit. The song was originally published on YouTube in 2011, and became a hit in one month.
Funk do Mortal Kombat was composed by Leonardo Peixoto, psychology student, and Gibran Sirena, audiovisual student, both from Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul. Sirena created the music group Funk You Bit with Peixoto as a way to gain subscribers for his YouTube channel. The song is a remix of "Techno Syndrome" in the funk style. Even though the music is a funk composition, both are fans of rock and metal and didn't give much attention for the style beforehand. Peixoto was the composer of the lyrics. The video was filmed with the camera of Sirena's mother and took nearly an year to be produced. The song was released in 30 March 2011 on GibranST YouTube channel.[1][2][3]
Initially, Funk do Mortal Kombat was not monetized due concerns with copyright, but after the original video reached from 3 to 5 million views, the authors decided to monetize the song, but not the videoclip.[2]
