Nyeh Heh Heh!
I WILL BE THE ONE! I MUST BE THE ONE!
I WILL CAPTURE A HUMAN!
THEN, I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS...
WILL GET ALL THE THINGS I UTTERLY DESERVE!
Nyeh Heh Heh! is the 16th track in the UNDERTALE Soundtrack, and the 14th track in the Undertale Demo OST. It is an upbeat song with an 8-bit sound. In addition to being Papyrus's theme music, this track is part of an easter egg that plays at the end of a Pacifist Run of the demo, playing during and after Sans and Papyrus's conversations.
It was directly mentioned in an interview with Toby Fox, as one of the songs originally composed for other projects. These songs were Fallen Down, Ghost Fight, Another Medium, and MEGALOVANIA, with Heartache, sans., Nyeh Heh Heh!, and Bonetrousle in specific being initially made for another RPG idea that never came to fruition.[1][2]
Said idea later turned out to be Deltarune, with the track originally being Lancer's theme.[3]
- The title of this song is Papyrus's catchphrase. In the Epilogue of the True Pacifist Route, Monster Kid says this if the protagonist saved them during the bridge sequence.[4]

This song wasn't made for Undertale either. It (and bonetrousle) were the main battle themes of an RPG game I was working on before Undertale, based off a dream I had. However, I didn't plan it very well, so the project fell apart before I accomplished a single room. "Sans" was also a song in the game called "Muscles," and "Heartache" was a song called "Joker Battle." Anyway, I always mess up playing this song on the piano, so if you can't play it, it's not a big deal. Since it's Papyrus, it's OK as long as you try your best.
