#$@%* Dudes Be #$@%* Sleepin is a song performed by Pearl.

Description
#$@%* Dudes Be #$@%* Sleepin is a fast-paced heavy metal song featuring harsh guitar, bass, and drums in the background, with lyrics by Pearl. The song is apparently vulgar, due to its title, the fact that it never played on the radio for "obvious reasons," and the censor bleep heard in the middle of the song. At the end of the performance, a large crash can be heard (implied to be Pearl's loud voice destroying something in the venue), followed by grumbling from the audience, and Pearl speaking into the mic.

It was first heard as a music file in session nine of Marina's chat room under the file name rec_bow_down_ball_gig08.mp8. Pearl brought up the song as she and Marina were reminiscing over her early career, mentioning that it only sold 1,000 copies from both physical and digital sales, and stations refused to play it due to its explicit nature. They would release Ebb & Flow soon after, kicking off their ascent to fame.

Trivia

 * The MP8 filename is a parody of the MP3 filename used for digital audio, with the number eight being a common theme of the Octo Expansion.
 * Although it is stated in-game that #$@%* Dudes Be #$@%* Sleepin and Ebb & Flow (Demo) are solo songs by Pearl and Marina respectively, the Octotune booklet lists both of them as Off the Hook songs.
 * The Octotune booklet also names the track #$@%* Dudes Be #$@%* Sleepin (Live), despite it not being called that anywhere else.
 * Based on the title of the song in Russian, the lyrics might be about how Pearl feels her team is not helping with her matches.

Etymology
The title appears to be an expression of anger from Pearl about the unhelpfulness of her teammates in battles, which is supported by the song's names in other languages. The grawlixes are used to denote that the unseen full title is vulgar.
