What is the name of the song played during the credits of the original Plants vs. Zombies?

The song played during the credits of the original Plants vs. Zombies is “Zombies on Your Lawn.”

Laura Shigihara composed and performed the song, including the music video shown at the game’s conclusion. Its cheerful, theatrical style turns the zombie invasion into a mock romantic serenade, with the zombies singing about wanting to share the player’s lawn. That playful contrast became one of the game’s most recognizable pieces of personality.

The song was also used in promotion before release. PopCap published its music video on April 1, 2009, which led some players to wonder whether the entire announcement was an April Fools’ joke. The game itself launched for PC and Mac on May 5, 2009.

A frequent mix-up is confusing the credits song with “Brainiac Maniac” or “Loonboon,” both of which are part of the soundtrack. “Zombies on Your Lawn” is distinctive because it is presented as a performed video at the game’s ending, rather than simply as background music during a level. Shigihara cited Portal’s “Still Alive” as an influence.
