Darn you, waffle! What, are you psychic? I was planning on doing the Devil Went Down to Georgia today, and I get in to work and find this! Grrrrr! I may do it, anyway, since mine was on a completely different topic...

Anyway, well done! I rule Horribus Went Down to Torg's House counts as both a full parody and a short one, with the Evita in the bridge there. So... 19 points! And you're entitled to put up another topic, if you so wish.

Suggestion. we keep getting bottlenecked on topics. could you put up like five topics, so theres always a good selection? cause we never seem to hav emore than 1 or 2 at a time.

That's because some people have posted songs without adding new topics. We should have about four at this point.

However, you don't have to wait for a topic; you can come up with your own idea for a filk and post that. Yes, you'll get five points less for that, but if you post several songs, it will more than make up for it. Go to!

The Devil's instrumental is the challenge for "Devil Went Down to Georgia". I mean, just what does the antagonist do? Personally, I loved the idea of Horribus breaking into a diva moment. I can just see him at the end, down on one knee, one arm straight up, the other holding the mic to his upturned face, eyes closed, tear down one cheek, drawing out "Laaaaammmmeeee!"

Had me in giggles the entire way to work.

Anyway, two songs, two topics.

For my amusement, I would like to see something by "Eminem" as well as a song on the topic of "The Isle of Dr. Steve". Bonus point if you can work in Bun Bun's immortal line.

Mad World (Gary Jules)

OASIS: All around me are familiar faces,
But they mean nothing, false impressions,
Bright and early train for unknown reasons,
thinking nothing, thinking nothing,
My tears they would fill up my eyelids,
But i dont feel them, no expressions
Hide my face i want to show my feelings
No control of my own thoughts and

Sometimes i think its funny
sometimes i think its bad
Dr. Steve says im not human,
would that be all that bad?
I find it hard to tell you,
Torg you have to see,
He makes me run in circles
Its a very very
Mad life..... Sad life....

In my childhood, i could never feel good,
had no birthdays, had no warm praise.
Steve he took over my mind and body,
Sit and listen, sit and listen.
And so i went about my daily training,
Though it felt free, no one knew me.
Then i met you, Torg, and somehow i knew.
You could do it, you can free me.

But now i think its funny, it still is very sad.
That the life i once knew was something i never had.
Bun bun broke my enslavement, Kiki saved my mind,
So even if i die here, i still now see
a glad end, my own end...
I love you torg, in this mad world.........


Ok, so i didnt get the line in, but i like this one. Ok, for topics, ill suggest two(only first wil lcount for points, ok?)

First topic: Santa Alien
Second Topic: Sara Elizabeth Kolby.

Okay--SSJJared gets the 10 for length and the 5 for topic used; he also gets 5 points for refs, so the song is worth 20.

Also, since he was actually one topic short from a previous song, I will let both stand for points.

Which is just as well because I had just finished the filk from the post below, which fulfills the topic of Alien Santa! So now, I get an extra 5 points for it, making it a 17 point song!

Santa Went Down to Jersey (a parody of The Devil Went Down to Georgia)

Alien Santa went down to Jersey
Deliv’ring presents on Christmas Eve
He was in a bind ‘cause he was way behind
And this here rabbit was aggrieved

Oh, he knew downstairs the bunny
Had set booby-traps to make it hot
So Santa jumped down the chimney, dove for cover and said,
“Bun, let me tell you what:

This will cost us both a lot
So, before this fight ensues
If you’d care to take a dare
I’ll make a bet with you

Now, you make a pretty good Easter, Bun
But give the Fat Man his due
I’ll bet my Right o’Caste against your soul
That you can’t take Christmas, too.”

Bunny said, “As my name is Bun-Bun
Though it might be unwise
I will take your bet, you’re gonna regret it
‘Cause I’ve got info from inside.”

Bun-Bun, take Halloween
And claim the turkey fort
Now Hell’s broke loose in the snow
But Santa’s a one-man war

Oh, if you win you get to be Holiday Overlord
But if you lose, Alien Santa gets your soul

The Fat Man opened up the fight
And he said, “I stand alone.”
Though Black Ops Elves had come to help
This alien Santa clone

So he submitted to his holiday power
And it made the time stand still
Then Santa Claus went on the attack
And he blurred in to the kill

[Bridge over Santa tossing Bun-Bun’s army around like dolls.]

Then Bun-Bun joined him, and he said,
“Well, you’re pretty fast, old son,
But I’m an icon, too, you know
And I’m gonna show you how it’s done

Fire in the hole, so run, boy, run
Santa’s in the house of the vengeful one
Rabbit got his hands on a big Nerf gun
Oh, you know there can only be Bun!”

[Bridge over Bun-Bun battling Santa and then spraying him with Nerf darts]

The alien began to melt
As he knew he’d been betrayed
So he tried to use his last resort
But Easter had snitched the Egg

Bun-Bun said, “Santa, just come on back
Next time you want to ride my slay
By Right of Caste I make claim to Christmas
I’m the Eater of Holidays.”

He said,
“Fire in the hole, so run, boy, run
Santa’s in the house of the vengeful one
Rabbit got his hands on a big Nerf gun
Oh, you know, there can only be Bun!”

[Fiddle solo, fade out…]

Topic: Sasha--the perfect girl for Riff?

Lightning Crashes - Live

-----------------------------------

Lightning crashes, a new Aylee cries
Her old form falls to the floor
The alien opens her eyes
The confusion sets in
As she hungerly eyes the door

Lightning crashes, an old Aylee dies
That strange shape falls to the floor
The alien closes her eyes
The confusion that was hers
Belongs now to the spiky thing moving down the hall

Oh now feel it comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' in those alien genes again
I can feel it

Lightning crashes, a new Aylee cries
This moment Torg's been waiting for
The alien opens her eyes
Pale flame colored irises
Presents the circle
And puts the glory out to hide, hide

Oh now feel it comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Riff is fetchin that big laser cannon again
I can feel it

Oh now feel it comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from those alien genes again
I can feel it

I can feel it

I can feel it

Sing to me, O muse, of the Bug, the Witch and the Robot!

'Twas an excellent effort, waffle--so it pains me to remind you that the topic of Aylee's changes was already covered by SSJJared in Aylee Forms. Therefore, you get the 10 for a full length parody and 3 for refs, but not the 5 for topic used, giving you a total of 13.

I would like to take this moment to suggest the addition of a new rule: giving 2 points for every direct quote from Sluggy included in the songs. (Waffle's suggestion above about Bun-Bun's quote inspired this.) If everyone thinks it's a good idea, I will go back and retroactively award points to the old songs as well as count them in the new ones.

Whaddaya think?

Also, scoring stands as follows:

SSJJared still leads with 6 songs and 120 points.
waffle has now moved into second place with 5 songs and 92 points.
Third: Me, with 5 songs and 91 points.
Fourth: Battech-and-Torque with 2 songs totalling 52 points.
Fifth: Arial remains here with 2songs and 38 points.
Sixth: Jarne is in last place, with 2 songs and 36 points.

Open topics:
Torg and Riff as kids (Carnivorous Smurf era)
Sasha, the perfect woman for Riff?
Sara Elizabeth Kolby
On the Run

It's Gwynn's Life

This ain't a song for the evil stranger.
No silent prayer, for those in danger.
I aint gonna be, just a puppet for you
Gonna see my strength, cause im gonna win through....

It's my life, it's now or never.
I ain't gonna wait forever,
to beat you, kenny, cause you lied....
ITS MY LIFE!
My mind is like a winding highway.
Like Bun-Bun said i'll do it MY WAY.
I ain't gonna turn around to die....
Cause its. My. Life.

This is for the ones who stood their ground.
For Riff and Aylee, they didnt back down.
The battle's getting ugly make no mistake,
Skippy's helping Kizke, gotta make my escape.

Its my life! It's now or never.
They cannot hold out forever.
Torg already nearly died....
ITS MY LIFE!
I know your tricks, i know how to win.
Come on now Gwynn, its sink or swim.
I am gonna send you to the void.
Cause ITS MY LIFE.

Gonna stand tall, though i face the void.
I don't believe you that it what i cant avoid.

It's my life!
Its now or never.
You think you have won, however
I have one more card game to play.

Its my life! I know now I will not submit.
Instead i'll shove your butt into it!
For this is my life, and now you die!

Its My Life!
And now i'm free, I have won!
To think I thought of this, from Bun-Bun.
The others know, because of the Mark 5.

Its my life,
My life is like an open highway.
And now i'm gonna LIVE IT MY WAY!
I spent too much time alone, to sit and cry....
CAUSE ITS! MY! LIFE!


whew, that was fun.

Ok, new topics.
how about an ode to Cloney?
we also could use a song about Bert. we havent done Bert yet, right?

Good parody of Bon Jovi's It's My Life, SSJJared! It earns you 22 points off the bat, and if we decide to give bonuses for quotes, you'll get an additional 2 for the "shove your butt into it," line.

One request--please pick Cloney or Bert as a new topic. (I like Bert, myself, as we've already had a lot of DDA stuff.)

On the Run (a parody of All Star)

Somebody once told me
Bun-Bun was gonna kill me
For somethin’ I never even did
It was Aylee’s big commotion
With her EMP explosion
That erased Bun-Bun’s classic Baywatch vids

Well the rabbit starts coming
And he won’t stop coming
We packed real quick
And we hit the ground running
Didn’t make sense to stop for talking
When an enraged rabbit is stalking
So where to go, how far retreat?
So how about taking the backstreets?
You’ll never live if you don’t go
You won’t survive if you don’t blow

Chorus:
Hey now, it’s mad Bun-Bun!
Get your game on, go hide!
Hey now, you’re On the Run!
Get underground, or die!
His eye that glitters is cold
Only time can break his hold

It’s Wispydale
And they say it’s Satanic
Torg came for Zoë
And the Kittens caused panic
But the others hung out with furniture
Pretending to shop but being very unsure

The place we end
Is the Caribbean
The water’s getting warm
So we might as well swim
My mai tai’s fine, how about yours?
That’s the way I like it and I'll never get bored

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

The bunny came back
With some little dudes in black
We need to get ourselves away from this place
I said yep, I’ll save us all
I could use a ‘Net terminal
And his videos we will replace

Well the rabbit starts coming
And he won’t stop coming
We packed real quick
And we hit the ground running
Didn’t make sense to stop for talking
When an enraged rabbit is stalking
So where to go, how far retreat?
So how about taking the backstreets?
You’ll never live if you don’t go
You won’t survive if you don’t blow

Score: 19, with four refs.

New Topic: Give me Torg's ultimate theme song!

i thought we could name extra topics. if so, like before, i consider the first one to count for MY points, and the second just to get more ideas out there.

See, it's supposed to be one topic per song posted; the reason I let one or two extras in is because we were short topics because some people didn't post one with their submission.

We were technically still short by a topic, so I will let both of yours stand. But in the future, please don't post extras, because that makes it a little too easy to earn extra points by posting lots of topics and then claiming no one used them.

What's your opinion on extra points for working in quote, BTW?

I'll throw in some topics. I feel bad that I haven't thought up a decent filk yet, so here are some topics, if the Lady allows...:

Clem's passion for roadkill

What da Sampire does on Friday nights

The Balad of the Carniverous Smurf

Torg's aliases
