Given the song's popularity, it's a bit surprising a version wasn't used in the teaser trailer, but the 1980s hit it did use was certainly appropriate. The song has had an incredible shelf life, with numerous other YouTubers using it for their own content. YouTuber EnchantedMob made a music video for the song, creating "Five Nights at Freddy's" characters acting out the lyrics in "Minecraft." It's racked up 135 million views, and that's only the beginning. LInk02 made a reaction video of various YouTubers listening to "Join Us for a Bite."
Now, the song has made its way to TikTok. A simple search will reveal a ton of videos of people posting their dances set to the music. Others contain animations, either derived from anime or original creations. One of the most popular iterations of the song to emerge on the platform comes from a skit by @.theanimemen. Someone plays "Join Us for a Bite" in the car, and his friends make fun of him. But it doesn't take long for them to dance along to the viral hit. Numerous other examples have populated the platform, and with the ensuing release of the movie, more are bound to come in the following months.
It's the perfect song for "Five Nights at Freddy's." It has an infectious energy like the games where as soon as you finish, you want to start it over again. And much like how "Freddy's" has inspired so many fan-made videos and artworks, "Join Us for a Bite" has influenced dances and music videos of its own. Hopefully, Blumhouse will take notice and include the song in the film's end credits. It'd be the perfect way to reward fans of the franchise.
