Anarchy Rainbow is asong performed byDeep Cut.
Description
Anarchy Rainbow is an energetic song drawing inspiration from Japanese odori and Brazilian samba music. The song starts with drum beats, followed by an instrumental intro. After the intro,Shiver sings the first verse ofAnarchy Poisons (Bird Mix). This is followed byBig Man speaking with electronic notes playing.Frye then sings the second verse ofAnarchy Poisons (Snake Mix), which is sung in a style resembling traditional Indian music. After Frye's verse, the whole band sings the chorus together, with brass notes and a whistle accompanying them. After this, a break featuring just the drum beat and the whistle plays. Shiver and Frye sing a few notes from the chorus, after which the track loops.
The brass in the chorus has the leitmotif ofCalamari Inkantation; while the notes played are not the same, the intervals between the notes and the overall contour of the melody are very similar.
DuringSplatfests inSplatoon 3,Deep Cut performs this song inSplatsville. In the first half of a Splatfest, each member of the band stands atop their own float that moves around Splatsville as they sing and dance to their own version ofAnarchy Poisons; in the second half, the three floats combine to form one big stage, where Deep Cut performsAnarchy Rainbow together. Shiver and Frye's versions ofAnarchy Poisons each use their own verse ofAnarchy Rainbow as well as a unique verse where the other's would be, while Big Man's version has a similar samba beat and trumpets.Anarchy Rainbow also plays in the train the player rides to Splatsville after completing thetutorial, with a filter to sound like it is being played from a speaker.
Lyrics

Remixes and covers
Anarchy Rainbow (Live)
A live mix ofAnarchy Rainbow debuted during theDeep Cut Concert at Nintendo Live 2022, consisting of a medley ofAnarchy Rainbow and all three variants ofAnarchy Poisons. This mix starts with the full version ofAnarchy Rainbow before transitioning into Shiver'sAnarchy Poisons (Bird Mix), Frye'sAnarchy Poisons (Snake Mix), and Big Man'sAnarchy Poisons (Boar Mix), in that order. Unlike the in-game version, Shiver and Frye harmonize with Big Man duringBoar Mix. After that, Deep Cut closes the song together with one more chorus.
During theSplatoon 3 Live Concert at Nintendo Live 2024 TOKYO, a version of this is performed by Deep Cut together withOff the Hook, who contribute additional vocals.Marina also plays a keytar throughout the song. Additionally, the final chorus is replaced with simple chants instead of actual lyrics.
Anarchy Splatcast (Splatfest)
During Splatfests, theAnarchy Splatcast theme's intro is intact, but the main song is replaced with a stripped-back version ofAnarchy Rainbow that lacks all vocals and most instruments. This usage of a simpler version of a Splatfest song echoes theInkopolis News songs featured in broadcasts hosted by theSquid Sisters andOff the Hook during Splatfests in previous games, which were stripped-back instrumental versions ofCity of Color andColor Pulse, the songs performed live in the plaza area.
Anarchy Rainbow (Splatoween)
During theZombie vs. Skeleton vs. Ghost andWizard vs. Knight vs. Ninja Splatfests, a remixed version of the song is used that matches the Halloween theme of said Splatfest. This version includes organs and synthesizers, as well as a few new lines from Shiver and Frye. One of Frye's new lines resembles the words "trick or treat," which is a phrase commonly used whiletrick-or-treating during Halloween. The trio can also be heard laughing during the final verse. Some of the notes in the song are in major key.
Anarchy Rainbow (FrostyFest)
During theFriends vs. Family vs. Solo andMoney vs. Experiences vs. Presents Splatfests, a version ofAnarchy Rainbow with holiday-themed instrumentation, including sleigh bells, is heard. All members of Deep Cut also have some new lines near the end of the chorus.
Anarchy Rainbow (SpringFest)
During theBaby Chicks vs. Li'l Bunnies vs. Bear Cubs andMorning vs. Afternoon vs. Night Splatfests, a rendition ofAnarchy Rainbow plays which is arranged to sound like a tradition Irish step dance song while including xylophones and clap tracks. The song also plays in 12/4 (swing) time unlike prior renditions of this song.
Anarchy Rainbow (Summer Nights)
During thePalace vs. Theme Park vs. Beach andLand vs. Sea vs. Air Splatfests, a mambo rendition ofAnarchy Rainbow plays. It is notably the only version ofAnarchy Rainbow to be played in a major key. This version adds some tropical-sounding instruments such as steel drums, trumpets, acoustic guitars, and a cuica. Near the end of the chorus, Shiver calls out to the audience. What she says sounds a lot like "みんなー！満喫してるー？" (minna! mankitsu shiteru?), meaning "Everyone! Are you having fun?"
Anarchy Rainbow (Grand Festival)
During the first two days of thePast vs. Present vs. Future Splatfest, an extended version ofAnarchy Rainbow based on theDeep Cut Concert at Nintendo Live 2022 version can be performed at theGrand Festival Grounds. This version includes all three variants ofAnarchy Poisons. Deep Cut perform simple chants in place of the standard lyrics in the song's penultimate chorus section, similarly to the version featured in theSplatoon 3 Live Concert at Nintendo Live 2024 TOKYO. Revisiting the Grand Festival Grounds via use ofidolamiibo and selecting the "Colorful Evenings" option will allow the song to be replayed, along with the rest of the set list from the first part of the Splatfest.
Rainbow Color Inkantation
- Main article:Rainbow Color Inkantation
During the last 24 hours of thePast vs. Present vs. Future Splatfest,Rainbow Color Inkantation, amegamix ofAnarchy Rainbow withCalamari Inkantation andColor Pulse, has been added to the song pool forSplatfest battles. Additionally, it was the only song that played duringTricolor Battles on theGrand Splatlands Bowl stage. If neither of the attacking teams secured the secondUltra Signal in such a battle, an instrumental song featuring the melody ofAnarchy Rainbow played during the last minute of the battle.

Trivia
- Frye came up with the idea forAnarchy Rainbow while eatingokonomiyaki, a type of savory pancake. It gave her the idea of "stacking" different types of music together.[3]
- The demo forAnarchy Rainbow took six weeks to make. While they were working on the song, Shiver sent Big Man "back to the drawing board" seven times.[3] Big Man also refused to let Shiver or Frye provide vocals for the demo, doing them himself instead.
- The idea of seasonal versions for the song was also Frye's idea, having gone to Big Man last minute to pitch the idea.[4]
