About
Don't Lose Your Way Goes with Everything is a series of YouTube Poop videos that play any footage with a segment of "Before My Body is Dry"[1], a popular song from the anime Kill la Kill[2], in the background, where the line "Don't lose your way" is sung. It is done in a similar fashion to Guile's Theme Goes with Everything, making the footage to appear more epic[3].
Origin
The first known mashup video using the song was posted by a YouTuber Stalker Humanoid[4] titled "Kill la Eddie" on January 5th, 2014. The video contains a scene from television crime drama series Miami Vice[5] in which Eddie gets shot with a shotgun while "Don't lose your way" segment plays in the background, parodying how the song is used in Kill la Kill. On January 7th, a redditor defearl[6] posted a link to the video on Kill la Kill subreddit[7], coining and popularizing the phrase "Don't Lose Your Way Goes with Everything" among the anime community.
Spread
Following defearl's thread, many redditors on Kill la Kill and anime subreddits began creating and posting similar videos, stating "it really does go with everything". The used footage range from television shows and other anime to video game clips.[8]
