Anbody interested in a song parody game? Rules are as follows:

The songs to be parodied should be relatively well-known--either classic songs everybody knows (classic rock, nursery rhymes, folk, etc.) or if it's current, something that gets radio play. It's a lot more entertaining if everyone knows the reference.

Your submission does not have to be a whole song, but it should be at least one verse and the chorus. The subject matter of each parody is to be something Sluggy-related. You will get extra points if you do a whole song, however. You also get more points for each Sluggy character you include. Finally, you may suggest a topic for other posters. The first poster to do a song on your topic gets extra points. If no one does, you get the extra points.

Scoring:
Creating a full-length filk: 10 points
Creating a short filk: 5 points
Using a suggested topic: 5 points
Suggesting a topic no one uses: 5 points
For every Sluggy character clearly defined in the filk: 1 point

Useful links: http://www.rhymezone.com
http://www.sing365.com/

This lyrics site has a bit less ads and pop-ups than some, and it is free. Lyrics are not always acurate, though, as they are submitted by browsers.

EDIT: Oh, yeah! The person with the most points at the end of the ten pages wins! (something...)
I should also make clear that you don't have to use someone else's topic--you can come up with your own if you have something in mind.

Example:
Good Old Denville (parody of Margaritaville)

Torg:
Took a work break
Watchin' the sun bake
All of those suicide bikini girls
It was time for wacky antics
And getting totally frantic
As the plots twists with reckless abandon unfurled

Chorus:
Wasting the day again in good old Denville
Playin’ the PS2 with both my thumbs
Some people claim that we’re a cryin’ shame
But I know—we’re just Freelance Bums

Zoë:
Torg gave me a necklace
I guess I was reckless
Put it on—it became this brand new tattoo
But it’s a real beauty
An Egyptian cutie
Just say the word and I belong in a zoo!

Chorus:
Wasting away again in good old Denville
Searchin’ for my lost train of thought
Some people claim that those Bums are to blame
But I think—I’m just overwrought

Riff:
I blew up my workshop
Ticked off the mini-lop
When I brought the Mark IV on back home
But I bought him some Baywatch
He should calm down a notch
So I can fix my machine and plate it in chrome

Chorus:
Wasting away again in good old Denville
Searching for my robot of assault
I’d like to claim that my mother’s to blame
And you know—it is her own damn fault

Oh, some people claim that we’re a cryin’ shame
But you know—we’re just Freelance Bums

New Topic: How Chaz feels about being owned by Torg

Score: 15 (possible 20; 10 for full-length song, 5 for characters referenced (Bun-Bun and Dr. Lorna are in there, too!), and a potential 5 more if no one uses my topic.)

Go chop him now, i'm havin' such a good time, I'm havin' a ball. Go chop him now, If you wanna have a good time, just gimme some blood. So Torg says, Go chop him now I'm havin' a good time, Go chop him now I'm havin' a good time never wanna stop at aaaaaaaaaaaaallll.
I am the fighters sword, able to slay all, on a collision course, with Horribus's heart, I am so in control. I am a death machine, ready to reload, like a N.U.K.E. bomb, I'm gonna go-oh-oh-oh-oh EXPLOOOOOOODE! Stabbin' out their eyes, they're dropping like flies that's why they call me Mr. Chop 'n slice, I'ma killin' at the speed of light, I'm gonna make a super fighting man outa you.
Go chop him. Go chop him. Go chop him. Go chop.
Oh oh oh oh explooooooode! Stabbin' out their eyes, they're dropping like flies that's why they call me Mr. Chop 'n slice, I'm gonna make a super fighitng man outa you.
Go chop him now, I'm havin' such a good time, I'm havin' a ball. Go chop him now, if you wanna have a good time, just gimmee some blood. Go chop him now. Go chop him now. Never wanna stop at aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall.


Sorry about the typo's.
Score: 18 (10 for full lenght song, 5 for using the suggestion, 3 for Sluggy characters (Chaz, Horribus and Torg).
The suggested topic: Bun-Bun. Eater of Holidays.

OOG: Good job, Jarne! (Did the inspiration have anything to do with Shaun of the Dead? :sasha: )

JohnMW--people are more than welcome to use previous Sluggy filks here if they want to, as long as they are the originator. I was thinking of that one, myself. And don't forget, you are welcome to submit songs that are not on the suggested topic, too, if you're inspired by something else!

Ask, and ye shall recieve!

The Freelance Rhapsody!

Torg, Riff, Zoe Gwynn: Is this the real world?
Is this Pete's fantasy?
Caught in the Lameverse,
No escape from insanity.
Open your eyes, look up to the skies
And see...

Torg: I'm just a nice guy,
I need no sympathy.
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
Little high, little low,
Anyway the plot flows
Doesn't really matter to me
To me.

Zoe, just killed a man.
Put my sword against his neck,
Took a swing, now he's in Heck.
Zoe, the strip had just begun,
And now I've gone and thrown it all away!
Zoe, didn't mean to make you cry.
If a strips not up again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on,
Nothing really matters...
Too late!
My time has come!
Sends shivers down my spine,
Body aching all the time.
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,
Gotta go away and kill Lord Horribus.
Zoe, Ooooo (Anyway the plot flows)
I don't wanna die.
I sometimes wish I'd never been drawn at all!

(Guitar Riff)

Riff: I see a little shilouetto of a man
Alt-Gwynn/Book of Rothar-Neice: Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the fandango?
Alt-Zoe: Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening me!
Kiki: Book of E-ville!
Bun-Bun: Book of E-ville!
Kiki: Book of E-ville!
Bun-Bun: Book of E-Ville!
Both: Book of E-Ville figaro.
All: Magnifico-o-o-o!

Torg: Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Horribus, Reakk, K'Z'K: Woh-pah now!
We will not let you go!
Riff, Sasha, Zoe: Let him go!
Demons: Woh-pah now! We will not let you go!
Riff, Sasha, Zoe: Let him go!
Demons: Will not let you go!
Riff, Sasha, Zoe: Let him go!
Demons: Never let you go!
Both sides: No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Torg: Oh crotch-a-mia, crotch-a-mia, crotch-a-mia let me go!
Lord Horribus has tortures set aside for me
Ensemble: For me,
For MEEEEEE!

(Rock music headbang)

Torg: So you think you can stab her and tear out her eyes?
Do you think you can love me and let Zoe die?
Oasis, don't do this to me Oasis,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here!

Nothing really matters,
Even Sam can see,
Only Zoe matters,
Only Zoe matters...to me...
(Anyway the plot flows...)
(Gong!)

Points: 10 for full length plus 5 for using a suggesstion, and let's see, one point per character...16 points. That makes 31 points. Or 30 if you disallow Pete as a character.

Thanks LB. I was going to do Margaritaville but you beat me to it (and did it better than I could have) and Don't Stop Me Now was the only other well known song that I could think of.

Battech:

I think Pete does count as a character, since he (or at least his arm and back) have appeared in Sluggy a couple of times. Also, I was really debating whether or not to allow characters to count if they are only "choral singers," which Riff, Sasha, K'Z'K, Bun-Bun and Kiki are in your song. I think I have to rule that only characters referenced in the text of a song should be counted. Of those, I count Pete, Torg, Chaz, Zoe and Alt-Zoe, Horribus, the Book of E-Ville, Oasis and Sam.

Sadly, I also can't award you the 5 points for a topic fulfilled, as the only topic posted is Jarne's "Bun-Bun, Eater of Holidays." JonMW's mention of your parody doesn't count, he didn't post it with a filk song.

I really enjoyed "Freelance Rhapsody"; thanks for posting it! And at 20 points, your song is still the highest ranking one in the game!

Ok, so the only topic right now is Bun bun, eater of holidays?

Lord Bun-Bun (Iron Man)

Has he lost his mind?
Has this power made him blind?
When he walks we crawl,
Before him all others fall.

Are we alive or dead?
Hope he doesnt take our heads.
Halloween is already gone,
Bun-Bun rules from now on.

Nobody wants to...
see him come to their world....
planning his conquest,
the plan he will soon unfurl.

Now the time is here
for lord Bun-Bun to spread fear.
Sends them to their graves
takes their powers, make us slaves....

Nobody sees him,
Until theres a knife in their back.....
Nobody knew he...
Was ready to ATTACK!!

(music bridge!)

Christmas hat on his head
Colors of black, blue, orange and red
Run as fast, as you can,
The Eater of Holidays lives again!

ok, new topic. (torg's pining for Zoe)

I like it! SSJJAred's "Lord Bun-Bun" weighs in at 16 points with a possible 21, and since he used Jarne's topic, Jarne is confirmed at 18 points for "Go Chop Him Now."

(Battech--there's still time for you to post a topic!)

a couple questions. one, do i have to wait to write another song, if i have an idea? (not trying to use my topic, just anopther one). also, is a song that has sections that would be large lists of different characters, would that be dismissed, or worth a LOT of points? Basically, what im asking is your definition of "cleary defined"

I think he likes me (Bukowski - Modest Mouse [I know this is not a well known band or song])

Zoe:
Woke up this morning and 'seemed to me, that every night Torg hits on me, and I'm starting to think that he likes me and ya I know he's really not mean but god why is he... but god why is he... so annoying. But god why is he, but god why is he... so annoying.
Well we sat on the edge of the river, when Oasis came and took Torg with her and if she takes his life I'll never forgive her so I'll tell you what, I'm going to kill her but who would want to be... who would want to be... so in love with Torg. Well who would want to be... who would want to be... so in love with Torg.
Well Gwynn wanted to hurt Torg, and she did it all to well. She made Torg into an ass, so he could not call for help. So we came and rescued Torg, while Oasis took a fall. But we didn't know, if she was really gone at all.
If Torg is really in love with me and if he's really pining after me and if he really just wants a date with me well my problem is that I can't see, god why is he... god why is he... so annoying. Well god why is he... god why is he... so annoying.
Why aren't things in control... why am I all alone... Why aren't things in control... why am I alll alone... well all those adventures and all those mistakes, he can do so many things but can't even ask me out on a date. Well we where talk-talk-talking in circles that day when he gets to the point where he aks me out OKAY!
I went to bed and 'seemed to me, that every day Torg hits on me, and I'm starting to think that he likes me and ya I know he's really not mean but god why is he... but god why is he... so annoying.


The origional lyrics for Bukowski are http://www.lyricsmansion.com/result.php?number=44253 there

Edit: Woops, forgot the points and other topic. The points are 17 (10 for full lenght, 5 for using suggested topic and 2 for Oasis and Torg).
The suggested topic would be... Sam.

Nopers, you can submit to your heart's content--though you might want to wait just a little to see if anyone posts a topic related to your idea, so you can get extra points...

As for clearly defined--I mean that a character must be identifiable, mentioned either by name ("Torg gave me a necklace") or an unmistakable reference ("Ticked off the minilop"). In Good Old Denville, Riff does count as clearly defined, because the song refers to him doing things, not just assigns a verse as sung by him.

Jarne--you should probably define your topic a little more narrowly, like "Sam becomes a vampire" or "How Sam feels about Zoe." Make people earn those five points (or make it more likely you can keep them yourself). But I Think He Likes Me is actually worth 18 points, because Zoe is also clearly defined in it.

Bring me to (Un)life.

From: Bring me to Life, Evanescence.

SAM: How did she see into my eyes
like open doors?
Leading me into a dark sleep where ive become so cold...
Without a soul,
Lysinda pulled me to this fate,
so can you find and bury me, in my home.

(Riff: Stake him now!)
Sam: Alone in my mind,
(Riff: Must stake him now)
Alone in my life,
(Val: Save me)
Call my name and Sam da man is there,
(Torg: Can't we help?)
I bid your blood to run
(Zoe: Why can't you leave?)
And you'll become undone,
(Lysinda: Come with me)
And join me in the nothing i've become.

Now that Zoe i am without,
For she will fear me,
I breathe a sad sound, but nothing real
Comes from my lungs....

(Riff: Die you fiend!)
I can't wake up inside,
(Torg: Break us out!)
I can't go outside,
(Zoe: Don't hurt us..)
I am now a creature of the dark,
(Lysinda: Start the rite)
I can't be who i was,
(Val: It ends tonight)
I can't be what they are,
(Kiki: Stay gooood!)
But will i come to nothing in the end....
Bring me back to life....
(Riff: You were living a lie, you got NOTHING INSIDE!)
Bring me back to life......

Frozen inside, without my heart, without my soul, Kiki,
Only I can save them now, from my new home...

(Riff: All of this time, i can't believe i couldnt see!
That you're a fiend, now standing here in front of me!)
My sleep was a thousand years, it seemed,
Listen to me Riff, you'll ruin everything!
(Riff: Without a heart, without a soul, without conscience,)
Don't you kill me here..
(Riff: Your existance is quite wrong!)
I'll bring you to Torg.

(Lysinda: Traitor, sam!)
I reject this dark side,
(Val: You'll die for this!)
I accept that i can't hide.
(Zoe: Save me...)
I am myself and not a monstrous thing
(Torg: You're on our side?)
Sam's nothing to hide,
(Lysinda: Did you think you'd win?)
For i've already died,
(Kiki: Sam's good!)
Now the vampires will be all undone,
But away i must fly,

For I have not my life.......


WHEW! Ok, next topic.

I suggest Oasis the giddy schoolgirl of Love Potion.
