Straight Blanchin'

"Straight Blanchin'"^[1] is a rap song written and produced by Lil Bigg Dawggg. It's a summer hit and one of Soos' favorite songs.

Soos plays it on a boombox in the Mystery Shack, on his way to the Gravity Falls Museum of History in his pick-up truck, and on the way home after his adventures during "Society of the Blind Eye." Soos describes it as "the catchiest song of the summer," much to Wendy's annoyance, as she dislikes the song immensely, to the point that she threw the CD out of Soos' pick-up truck, though she immediately regretted it, saying she'll buy him a new one.
