Curse

Shiro Katagari · Aug 17, 2007, 03:00 PM // 15:00

Gee, hope no-one's done something like this before me (couldn't find anything on a search)...

Anyway - sung to the tune of 'The Drugs Don't Work' by The Verve

*ahem*

"All this talk of getting gold
It's getting me down, my love
Like to get in a team, making the rounds,
This time I'm gonna win

And I hope you're talking true, there
As you lay down all your smack
But the PUGs don't work,
They just leech and shirk
But I know I'll 'LFG' again

Now the PUGs don't work
They're just useless jerks
And I know they'll try to join again

But I know I'm on a losing streak
'Cause I need to cap Elites
But if you wanna show
That you're good to go
Then don't stay in the rear again

Now this PUG might work
'Cept the monk's a berk
And now everybody's dead again

'Cause maybe, ooh, if target calls are puzzlin' you
Then like I said, just leave my life, we're better with Zhed

I still talk of getting gold
But some noob just got me killed
Like a smack in the face, waiting to rez
This time I'm gonna /resign

Coz the PUGs don't work
They just make me curse
But I know I'll try to group again

But the PUGs might work
If we drop the quirks
And just focus on the quest again"

....

Yeah, well, I had a few minutes to kill

And for the record, PUGs *can* work - I just PUGged the last Factions mission and we whacked Shiro in 1:23(NM) - go us! But that wouldn't have fit the original song lyrics...

i sense some personal anguish hidden in that song

very nice, but now sing it and post an mp3

Shiro Katagari · Aug 20, 2007, 10:34 PM // 22:34

Hmm.. not sure if me singing is a good idea. Well, actually I'm pretty sure it's a bad one!

Maybe I'll just do a karaoke version and everyone can sing along themselves

What's the size limit in posting files here? :P

B E A S T · Aug 20, 2007, 11:27 PM // 23:27

Lol, nice, I love it.

Mainly because it is so true.

I Might Avenge U · Aug 21, 2007, 02:13 AM // 02:13

Get Tay Zonday to sing it.. lol..

*Waits until entirely sure everyone doesn't know what I'm talking about...*

Shiro Katagari · Aug 21, 2007, 10:30 AM // 10:30

Ok, I watched that vid....

.....

There's just nothing to say. I have an image in my head now of Tay Zonday and Richard Ashcroft doing a duet... it's not pretty. The duet I pictured between Richard Ashcroft and Kylie Minogue singing "I Should Be So Lucky Man" was much better...

But come on, people! It's clearly Guild Wars Spoof Lyrics time! Spoof your favourite song lyrics with a Guild Wars twist now!

Here's a few possible titles to get you started:
"It's Raining Mhenlo" (Weather Girls)
"Dye It Black" (Rolling Stones)
"Let's Do The Axe Twist" (Chubby Checker)
"(I Can't Get No) Alliance Faction" (Rolling Stones again)

C'mon people, this stuff practically writes itself! Get to it!

Knido · Aug 21, 2007, 02:16 PM // 14:16

The original song has near 7 million views..

Shiro Katagari · Aug 21, 2007, 04:02 PM // 16:02

And just to put my money where my mouth is, here's a grand total of 23 minutes work on "(I can't get no) Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones...

(I've used a few apostrophes to help everyone see where the lyrics match up to the original - feel free to squeeze in the whole word when you're singing it to yourself in your room/office!)

*ahem*

"(I can't get more) Alliance Faction"

"I can't get more 'Liance Faction
Put my keyboard out of action
'cause I grind and I grind and I grind and I grind
I can't get more, I can't get more!

When I'm grinding with my 'sin
And I check my Faction score again
Depressin' me more and more
With the same old information
'bout my Alliance degradation
I can't get more, oh no no no!

Hey hey hey
This ain't why I play!

I can't get more 'Liance Faction
All this grind dulls my reactions
and I cry and I cry and I cry and I cry
I can't get more, I can't get more!

When I'm staring at my screen
As the countdown comes to tell me
That the mission's 'bout to start
But we're already doomed 'cause some useless bloke
Is just leeching off our team
I can't get more, oh no no no!

Hey hey hey
This ain't why we play!

I can't get more 'Liance Faction
My title won't go past 'Bastion'
Don't know why that I try and I sigh as I cry
I can't get more, I can't get more!

When I'm mapping round the world
And I'm doin' this and I'm killing that
And I'm trying to get some points
Although I know my score will slip back in the next week
Can't you see this is a hopeless task?
I can't get more, oh no no no!

Hey hey hey
That's enough for today!"

----------

So, please, for the sake of everyone's sanity, somebody else have a go at a spoof song!

An Assassin’s Lament
Song: “Don’t wanna miss a thing”, by Aerosmith

---

Oh, I play this game, just to stop your breathing
Watch me smile while you are Bleeding
While you’re far away and fleeing
I will spend my ‘pool, on your team’s Touch Ranger
I could slay Monks with this combo, forever
Well, every e-point gained with Crits
Is an e-point I treasure

Chorus:
I don't wanna cope with blind
I don't want your S.O.D (Shield of Deflection)
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I E.D you (Expose Defenses)
My SBS will never do (Sight Beyond Sight)
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Running close to you
Hitting you with Bleeding
And I'm wondering what you're scheming
Just a Shield Bash will do meeee in
Then I’ll chain your a**, this one I’ll string together
And I just wanna wail on you
In this combo forever, forever and ever

Chorus

I don't wanna miss one Strike (Moebius)
I don't wanna miss one Twist (-ing Fangs)
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna keeeep you close
Feel your Health so close to none
And I’ll stay here in this moment
Hope my S-Walk ends in time yeaaaah!

Chorus x2

Don't wanna lose my sight
Don't wanna fail to hit, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing

A stretch at times, but I think I got the essence

"A white dye from a Skale" (to the tune of "A Whiter shade of Pale")

I skipped back to Ascalon
After I saw it on the floor
I hate the smell of dead fish
But Gwen's flute mattered more
My bowstring's humming harder
And Sora's running away
I called him to come back
As another arrow went stray

And it wasn't too much later
I spammed $Trade with my tale
My luck had finally turned good
I got a white dye from a skale...

hahahaha lol thats awesome

Okay, let me try one of your songs.

Weather Girls-It's Raining Mhenlo

Cynn's jealousy is rising - Health's getting low
According to all sources, Tyria's the place to go
Cause if you're there for the first time
Or already playing GWEN
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining Mhen..lo.

It's Raining Mhen! Loho! - It's Raining Mhenlo! Oh no!

Fangirls are going out to run and feel
His super-turbo-mega heal!

It's Raining Mhen! Lohoho!
It's Raining Mhen-lo! Oh no!
They're stupid, flirty, and very bold
But we all know they're just bald

Dwayna bless Mother Nature, she's had a rough day too
She took off to heaven and she did what nobody wanted her to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her hairless guy

It's Raining Mhen! Loho! - It's Raining Mhenlo! Oh no!
It's Raining Mhen! Loho!
It's Raining Mhenlo! NO..NO!

I feel stormy weather / Monking's about to begin
Hear the thunder / Don't you lose your Health

Dwayna bless Mother Nature, she's had a rough day too
She took off to heaven and she did what nobody wanted her to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her hairless guy
It's Raining Mhenlo! Yeah!

Lol, the text kinda popped in my head.
