By downloading you agree to the terms above. Heads up: on YouTube your video may show ads through Content ID — that's just how the band gets paid, and your video will not be blocked, muted, or struck. Posting on TikTok or Instagram? Even easier — use the official in-app sound and you're automatically covered. Running a big national TV or streaming campaign and want it in writing? Email ben@cobiadigital.com for a one-line confirmation.

Directions for Use

Light Fuse. Tag Band. Get Away.

  1. Download or use the in-app sound. Grab the cut you need above, or search "Two Hundred Fiddy — Paid In Mullet" in TikTok, Reels, or Shorts sounds.
  2. Put it under something loud. Mortars over water hit hardest. The bigger the shell, the better the song sounds. That's science.
  3. Tag @paidinmullet. We repost the best fireworks videos all July. The loudest ones go to the top.
  4. Playing it at an event? Just announce the song and the band. That's the whole fee.
The Pose
Hold That Sparkler High

There's a moment in the song when a lady raises her sparkler like the Statue of Liberty. So here's the challenge: at dusk on the Fourth, strike the pose — sparkler up, chin up — with "Two Hundred Fiddy" playing. Post it. Tag it.

Best pose and best fireworks-over-water video win the Fireworks Fund — a gift card toward next year's arsenal.
