Haaland's Side Quests (Football Music)

Haaland's Side Quests is a tongue-in-cheek FootyTracks song about Erling Haaland's famously extreme diet and daily routine. It is a nu-metal rap-rock track: aggressive rapped verses, heavy guitars, and a soaring, dead-serious sung chorus, so the full rock-anthem anguish about a man's bedtime routine is the joke. Every line is a real habit: a 6,000-calorie "ancestral" diet built on cow hearts and beef liver, raw-milk "magic potion" in his coffee, filtered water only, mouth-taping and blue-light glasses for sleep by 10:30, a cryotherapy chamber, and daily meditation (the source of his cross-legged goal celebration). It even nods to the Channing Tatum lookalike meme.

Lyrics

Oh-oh-oh, Haaland on a side quest (side quest) Cow heart, raw milk, call the man obsessed (obsessed) Oh-oh-oh, Haaland on a side quest (side quest) Mouth taped by half ten, the machine needs rest Six thousand calories, he's grazing like a beast Cow heart and the liver, call it Hannibal's feast (Oh-oh-oh, side quest) Raw milk in the coffee, filtered water when he drinks Blue-light glasses on at night, that's how the machine sleeps Mouth taped shut for the sleep, lights out by half past ten Cross-legged when he scores, that's him meditating again (Oh-oh-oh, side quest) They say he's Channing Tatum with a Cheshire address Cryotherapy chamber, then a nap, he's obsessed No booze, no sugar, no processed, keeping clean Sea bass and asparagus, fuel for the machine (Oh-oh-oh, side quest) Finish every side quest, then he rounds off the hat-trick
