[Scarlet Knight]

Ok, I'll try one:

Back in Greysky City (Back in the USSR)

Strolled in from Azure City ASAP
Tried get to bed last night
On the way Celia went & left me,
Then we had a dreadful fight
I'm back in Greysky City-y
You don't know how lucky you are, Roy
Back in Greysky City-y

Been away so long I hardly knew the place
Gee, it stinks to be back home
Man, that fairy's always on my case
Great; now Roy is made of bone!
I'm back in Greysky City
You don't know how lucky you are Roy
Back in Greysky ,Back in Greysky ,Back in Greysky City

Well the thieves guild girls really knock me out
they strike you from behind
And guild-bard girls like to sing and shout
"That sexy Belkar's always on my,my,my mi-i-ind"!

Jenny has slopping mountains & she's trimed down south
Haley worries 'bout her daddy's harm
Let me hear your sword blades ringing out
Come and keep your Belkie warm.
I'm back in Greysky City-y
You don't know how lucky you are Roy
Back in Greysky City-y
:smallcool:

[Andore Mordre]

This idea has been rattling around in my head for the last month or so, now seems like a good idea to finish it and post.

The Azure City Bus (A parody of a parody)

Riding in the bus down Azure land
And the place was pretty packed
Couldn't find a seat so I had to stand
With Sabine and Nale in back
It was smelling like an ogre camp
There were ninjas over the floor
We're already packed in like kobolds
But we're stopping to pick up more, look out

The Azure City Bus
The Azure City Bus
And another comes on and another comes on
The Azure City Bus
Hey, where the seats are blue
The Azure City Bus

There's a dagger poking me in the ribs
There's another one in my ear
There's a smelly old dwarf standing next to me
Hasn't showered in a year
Haley's standing behind me
I think my wallet's gone
And I think this bus is stopping again
To let a couple half-orcs get on look out)

The Azure City Bus
The Azure City Bus
And another comes on and another comes on
The Azure City Bus
Hey, where the seats are blue
Another one rides the bus

My backpack doesn't open and my sword is broke
And everything is blue
I haven't been in a crowd like this
Since Miko was cut in two
Well I should've got off at Someplace Else
But I couldn't get past Thog
There isn't any room for a ninja to breathe
And now we're gonna pick up more yeaaah

Parogy of They Might Be Giants' "Fingertips: Who's That Standing Out the Window?"

Who's that monster in the darkness?

[Alysar]

Here's one I wrote a long time ago. In fact, just after the comic came out where Xykon broke into the Azure City throneroom (As such, it doesn't exactly match the events of the following comics).
---------------------------------
Throneroom Blitz

Oh it's been getting so hard
Livin' with your army laying siege
Oh, by Soon, we'll see you gone
From our beloved Azure City.
Oh, I see a Lich at the back
As a matter of fact his eyes are red as the sun
And a theurge in the corner let no one ignore her
'Cause she thinks she's the passionate one

Xykon cast lightning, everybody was fighting
And the battle was raging, and the dead started raising

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
And the commander at the back said
Everyone attack and it turned into a throneroom blitz
And the goblin in Xykon's corner said
Xy', I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a throneroom blitz
throneroom blitz,
throneroom blitz,
throneroom blitz
throneroom blitz

We waited in the throne room,
And crashing though the window you flew
Oh, I called out a challenge
When we're done there will be nothing left of you, aha
Now the mage in the back
Is ready to cast, the elements at her command
And the cleric in the corner, he ain't gonna warn ya'
He'll kill you with a touch of his hand

Oh yeah, it was electric, so frightfully hectic
A last stand so dire, to protect the Sapphire

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
And the commander at the back said
Everyone attack and it turned into a throneroom blitz
And the goblin in Xykon's corner said
Xy', I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a throneroom blitz
throneroom blitz

Oh Yeah
Xykon cast lightning, everybody was fighting
And the battle was raging, and the dead started raising

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
And the commander at the back said
Everyone attack and it turned into a throneroom blitz
And the goblin in Xykon's corner said
Xy', I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a throneroom blitz
throneroom blitz,
throneroom blitz,
throneroom blitz
throneroom blitz

It's it's a throneroom blitz,
it's it's a throneroom blitz
It's it's a throneroom blitz,
yeah, it's a throneroom blitz

[BatRobin]

I get dibs on We Didn't Start the Fire parody!

I really need to write it.

Did we ever find out what this was supposed to be?

[The Dark Fiddler]

I don't think we did.

[Milskidasith]

Did we ever find out what this was supposed to be?

That song is so bad it casts mindrape as a SLA for reading it.

[DaveMcW]

We Will Rock You (Queen - We Will Rock You)

Celia you're a sylph keeping vigil
In Dorukan's dungeon over the air sigil
Now get off of the phone
You're not alone
Give a speech and change from flesh to stone

We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you

Kraagor you're dwarf always ready for a fight
Holdin' back the Snarl with physical might
But your Scribble allies
Aint so nice
Prepare for an epic sacrifice

We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you

Devil you've been summoned at the imp's command
Killin' all the mortals on this island
You've got crushing despair
Curse impaired
Prismatic spray flyin' everywhere

We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you

[Nimrod's Son]

I've got an absolutely amazing song, unfortunatly I can't take credit for writing it.
Damn you, I'd only just got that song out of my head as well!

It's just too catchy.

[Itamarcu]

Jesterday (based on Yesterday)
Yesterday, all my chunks of EXP ran away
Now it look as though they're here to slay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Why he had to die I don't know, he didn't say
I did something wrong now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, loot was such an easy thing to prey
Now I need a place to hide away
oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I'm not half the elf I used to be
There's a Soul Splice hanging over me
oh, yesterday came suddenly

Yesterday, bard seemed like an easy class to play
Now I need a happy end of the day
oh, I believe in yesterday

[Scarlet Knight]

Did we ever find out what this was supposed to be?

Wait, wasn't that the "Iron Golems" bit hit?

[rewinn]

Tune: Black Sabbath's "Iron Man"
With Maximum Power Chords!

VOICEOVER: "I am XYKON - LICH!"

Has Roy bust his head?
Can he die when he's undead?
Will he activate,
Once he's zapped by Durkon's Gate?
We'll just take his crown
And assume that he is down.
Since we saw him fall,
Why should we wor-ry at all!

He grew back slow-ly
In Redcloak's phylactery,
As they sought a land
For the Dark One's secret Plan.

Nobody likes him
He just rules with fear,
Killing his boredom
Or whatever is near.

Now his body's back,
Now Xykon Lich leads the attack!
Take the Sapphire Gate
From the bluebeards Redcloak hates!

No one can stop him,
He drops Roy on his head.
Leading hobgoblins,
Redcloak has his revenge!

Heavy spells arcane
Drives the Sapphire Guard insane.
Killing as much as he can
Xykon Lich is bored again!

[GreatWyrmGold]

We'll just take his crown
And assume that he is down.
Since we saw him fall,

He grew back slow-ly
In Redcloak's phylactery holy symbol,
As they sought a land
For the Dark One's Xykon's secret Plan.

Nobody likes him
He just rules with fear,
Killing his boredom
Or whatever is near.

Now his body's back,
Now Xykon Lich leads the attack!

Mionr problems, awesome song, no points added/deducted.

Changes (Lich Template Remix)

Oh, yeah
Mmmmmm

Still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time, was running out
A decade more at outside
And even though I had a high CL
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I joined up with some goblins
But I never learned their names
They'd a plan to control some gateways
Use the Snarl to change the game

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes! (Turn to the undead)
Ch-ch-changes!
Get rid of all my aging penalties!
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes! (Turn to the undead)
Ch-ch-changes!
Plus bonuses to my mental abilities!
Death can't change me,
'Cause I Unned my death!
Mmmm, yeah

We rushed the forest, changed the tide
But never reached the gate
The Snarl was locked 'tween treants
And though my spells tore at the elf
but still my spells seemed too tame
And these druids that you spit on
As they try to save their woods
They're not immune to your evocations
But they're quite aware of what a virus can do

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes! (Turn to the undead)
Ch-ch-changes!
Protect my soul with a shiny phylactery!
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes! (Turn to the undead)
Ch-ch-changes!
The lich template grants complete disease immunity!
Death can't change me,
'Cause I Unned my death!
Mmmm, yeah

Strange transmutations, necromancy!
Aw, changes are making
My face sort of see-through!

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes! (Turn to the undead)
Ch-ch-changes!
Oh, look out, you elven druid!
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes! (Turn to the undead)
Ch-ch-changes!
Your flesh is warm and soft and full of fluid!
Death can't change me,
'Cause I Unned my death!
I said that death can't change me,
'Cause I Unned my death.

[Topus]

cool!
i thought of the same song for the same reason; "changes would be good for xykon's transformation into undead"

good idea then;)

[The Blackbird]

Here's one I wrote a long time ago. In fact, just after the comic came out where Xykon broke into the Azure City throneroom (As such, it doesn't exactly match the events of the following comics).

This is awesome.:smallbiggrin:

Could I link to this in my sig?

[derfenrirwolv]

Just because its already done. Amazing drake sung to the tune of amazing grace.

Amazing drake now in the ground
So close to victory
Thy son was lost, elf hunted down
For death of thy progeny

T’was lizard taught
To know by ear
That plan was ill conceived
Thy precious egg you held so dear
Now ashes unretreived

Though many fighters rogues and more
Thy son had overcome
A drake that fails his saving throw
Won’t live till you get home.

The mate that gave his love to thee
Now hide prepared to cure
His scales a shield, large portions be
Armor the leader wore

If it takes ten thousand years
Hate shining as the sun
You’ll make them pay for kin unraised
Death vengeance just begun.

Amazing drake now in the ground
So close to victory
Thy son was lost , elf hunted down
For death of thy progeny

[Puns de León]

With both accuracy and rhyme scheme in mind, I'd suggest

He grew back slowly,
Hid in his phylactery,
As he sought a land,
From which he could make his plans.


I agree, though, this is great. Very fitting that it's a song about a lich, (originally) written by the world's greatest lich, Ozzy Osbourne!

You guys are great. Thanks for the improvements! Joint writing efforts are fun.

Ozzy's a genius. And there's just something about those big bad chords at the beginning that cried out "Xykon!"

Banjo the God Hand Puppet
to the tune of Harvey the Wonder Hamster, by Weird Al Yankovic

Banjo, Banjo, Banjo the God Hand Puppet
He lost his cult, but what can you do?
He'll come back someday as Banjulhu!

Praise Banjo!

"An ode to an Illithid" a parody of the song Brains! by Voltaire

Well hello there little Roy.
Now don't be shy.
Step right up, I'm a reasonable guy.
Don't be frightened by the look in my eyes.
I'm just your average evil Octopus from outta the sky.
Well, I'm just shy and scared in this delve
I'm just a Squid outta water from the outer Realms
You can see that the trip has left me tired and drained
So why don't you be a pal...

And bring me some BRAINS!


Go down to your neighbor's place
See the dull expression on his face
You'd be doing him a favor if you brought him to me
He aint using his brain he's just Rogue 1/ Bard 3.
Go down to Mr. McGee's
He hasn't had a thought since AD&D.
His brain is the portrait of atrophy.
He ain't using it, why not give it to me?

BRAINS, BRAINS, I won't lie,
I'll eat their brains 'til they're zombified.
Sure they might think it's deranged
But they won't give it a thought
After I've eaten they're brain.
BRAINS, BRAINS, It's okay.
It's not a matter if it isn't gray,
And if at first they thinks it's strange,
They won't think twice
If they don't have a brain!

Go down to the Spell-book shop,
My Divination says that I just can't stop
I'll suck the spell-slots right out of their heads
And half an hours later, I'm out of spells again!
Creep in among the noble's stop
Sneak in, tip-toe past the fop.
Pick me up some burbon and a cupful of tea.
And any other sweetbreads you happen to see.

BRAINS, BRAINS, I won't lie,
I'll eat their brains 'til they're zombified.
Sure they might think it's deranged
But they won't give it a thought
After I've eaten they're brain.
BRAINS, BRAINS, It's okay.
It's not a matter if it isn't gray,
And if at first they thinks it's strange,
They won't think twice
If they don't have a brain!


Brains, Brains, I love em, I need um...
My tummy jumps for joy when I eat um.
Big ones, fat ones, short ones, tall ones,
They're so delectable, especially the small ones.
No time to cook em in a skillet.
My belly's rumblin', I got a need to fill it.
I don't fry em, the heat will only shrink em,
I'll just grab my self a straw and I drink em!!!(ohhhhhhh...)

You've been swell to go around
And bring me every single brain in town
But with all these brains, I can't help but think
That there isn't one left out there to drink.
Now Fess up boy, come on, Heck!
Is there someone that you're trying to protect?
Bring her down here to meet her end
And i promise I'll be your bestest friend.

BRAINS, BRAINS, I won't lie,
I'll eat her brains 'til she's zombified.
Sure she might think it's deranged
But she won't give it a thought
After I've eaten her brain.
BRAINS, BRAINS, It's okay.
It's not a matter if it isn't gray,
And if at first she thinks it's strange,
She won't think twice
If she don't have a brain!

BRAINS.....
Bring me her Brain.....
BRING ME HER BRAIN!!!!!!!! x2
Mwahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

And yes it's relevent because That Illithid had insufficient screen time in the early days of this comic :smalltongue:

[Squark]

I can't believe noone did "No Cure for the Paladin Blues" yet!


Unfortunately, I don't know the lyrics to "No cure for the summertime blues," so I can't write it.

[Andore Mordre]

Here. (http://www.metrolyrics.com/summertime-blues-lyrics-cochran-eddie.html)

No idea if it's the original or a parody, but that gives you an idea.

[Puns de León]

It's the original. Heck, it was done in 1958, weren't too many parodies back then.


Ozzy's a genius. And there's just something about those big bad chords at the beginning that cried out "Xykon!"

Definitely. It's pure scraping metal.

Miko's Lament

Am I blue?
Am I blue?
Hear me Twelve gods, I'm askin' you
Am I blue?
You would be too
If your plans to stop Roy
Done fell through
There was a time
I was the only one
Who knew the truth about Shojo
I was blue, until today
Now my lord's dead and I'm through
Am I blue?

Oh, you know I'm right
Oh, he made me, made me kill him
By the Twelve gods, I'm tellin' you
Oh, Roy made me kill Shojo
You know, you know, I was right
Now my plans to stop Roy
They done fell through

There was a time
That I was a paladin
And now I'm the gray and lonely fighter
I was blue, until today
Now Shojo's dead and I'm through
Am I still blue?

[Scarlet Knight]

V's Lament ( Sung to Dust in the Wind by Kansas)

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and Elan is gone,
Refused all dreams;I dispatch the devil and I head out to sea,
Dust. Gust of Wind. It's good to carry Dust. Gust of Wind.

There they are, just standing & yapping in an endless sea
All we do, wasting time, instead of finding Haley!

Dust. Gust of Wind. Problem solved with Dust. Gust of Wind.

Kubota's gone; 'cause nothing lasts forever like a stupid trial.
I refuse delay & all his money won't another minute buy.

Dust. Gust of Wind. Problem solved with Dust. Gust of Wind.
Dust. Gust of Wind. Problem solved with Dust. Gust of Wind.

Note:I don't know if there's a rule against making more than one song, but ,hey, it's short.

[DaveMcW]

Splice Out Of Hell (Meatloaf - Bat Out Of Hell)

The children are screaming and the cottage is burning
Way down in Ivyleaf tonight
There's a dragon in the shadows with hate in her eye
And teeth shining oh so bright
There's evil in the air and there's thunder in the sky
And a baker's on the blood-soaked tree
Oh and up in the sky where the dawn is rising
Oh I swear there was a young elf
Teleporting in
I was starting to cast disjunction

Oh Kyrie, you're the only thing in this whole world
That's pure and good and right
And wherever you are and wherever you go
There's always gonna be some light
But I gotta get out
I gotta break it out now
Before the final crack of dawn
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
When it's over you know
We'll both be so alone

With a splice out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over
With a splice out of hell I'll be gone gone gone
With a splice out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes
But when the day is done
And the sun goes down
And moonlight's shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
I'll come crawling on back to you

I'm gonna hit the dragon with a disintegrate
And a delayed blast fireball
When the fire shield is hot and the dragon is hungry
And a shapechange will end it all
Nothing ever hides from familicide
And everyone you know is lost
And nothing really rocks
And nothing really rolls
And nothing's ever worth the cost

And I know that I'm damned if I never get out
And maybe I'm damned if I do
But with every other beat I got left in my heart
You know I'd rather be damned with you
Well, If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Dancing through the night with you
If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night with you

Oh Kyrie, you're the only thing in this whole world
That's pure and good and right
And wherever you are and wherever you go
There's always gonna be some light
But I gotta get out
I gotta break it out now
Before the final crack of dawn
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
When it's over you know
We'll both be so alone

With a splice out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over
With a splice out of hell I'll be gone gone gone
With a splice out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes
But when the day is done
And the sun goes down
And moonlight's shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
I'll come crawling on back to you
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
I'll come crawling on back to you

I can see myself tearing through the cloister
Farther than any other elf has ever gone
And my skin is raw but my soul is spliced
And no one's gonna stop me now
I gotta make things right
But I can't stop thinking of you
And I never see the magic trap until it's way too late
And I never see the magic trap 'till it's way too late

Then I'm dying at the bottom of a turret in the blazing rift
Torn and twisted at the foot of an epic lich
And I think somebody somewhere must be banging a bar
And the last thing I see is my souls
Still scheming
Oh breaking out of my body
And flying away
Like a splice out of hell
Then I'm dying at the bottom of a turret in the blazing rift
Torn and twisted at the foot of an epic lich
And I think somebody somewhere must be banging a bar
And the last thing I see is my souls
Still scheming
Still scheming
Oh breaking out of my body and flying away
Like a splice out of hell
Like a splice out of hell
Like a splice out of hell
Like a splice out of hell
Like a splice out of hell
Like a splice out of hell

Also, I vote for Amazing Drakes. Because, you know, we are. I even admit that about evil ones!
I considered voting for V's Lament, because V's my favorite OotS character, but since it's not gonna be voted for, I didn't. Plus, SK double-submited.
You know, that's the first time I voted in one of my contests.

[Andore Mordre]

We Will Rock You by DaveMcW.

I laughed so hard at that.

[ref]

Yeah, me gonna vote for We Will Rock you, too.

[Puns de León]

I cast my vote for XYKON - LICH.

[Herald Alberich]

I'm gonna go with The Azure City Bus.

[Elfin]

I vote for Untitled.

[Kallisti]

They're all freakin' awesome, but I'm going to have to pick one, so I vote for Changes.

[Scarlet Knight]

While I will most likely be humming "I am XYKON - LICH!" by rewinn" & another unnamed song, I must vote for "We Will Rock You by DaveMcW" for working in 3 characters who were stoned...um, appear as stone.

[Andore Mordre]

While I will most likely be humming "I am XYKON - LICH!" by rewinn" & another unnamed song, I must vote for "We Will Rock You by DaveMcW" for working in 3 characters who were stoned...um, appear as stone.

Aaaaand now I feel like a TOTAL idiot (and laughing even harder) now that I realize that the song was focusing on stoned characters.

[ref]

There's at least one other "statue", but still that song rocks. :smalltongue:

[Scarlet Knight]

You know, I don't ask for much, but can I get a single vote? A pity vote, perhaps? Someone? Anyone?

:smallannoyed:

[Tannhaeuser]

You know, I don't ask for much, but can I get a single vote?

As a matter of fact, yeah, I will vote for your song, Scarlet Knight, though I do think the scansion is a little off in the second line. Still, "Dust. Gust of wind" is a pretty cool chorus.

I wish I had known about this contest sooner!

Belkarian Rhapsody:

:belkar:Is this the real life?
Is this a comic strip?
Caught in a dungeon
With this half-witted bardic drip
Open my eyes
Look down the hall, can't see...
I failed a spot check, ninjas are killing me
Well, it's easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Long as I kill someone. that is all that matters to me
To me...

:roy: Papa, just killed myself
Sliced the undead dragon's head
Hit the ground and now I'm dead
Papa, the quest had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Papa, oooo
I really hate your guts
If I'm not resurrected by tomorrow
Julia will carry on, if she even thinks it matters...

:xykon: Too late, your time has come
Can't remember that guy's name
Doesn't matter, he's too lame
Goodbye, useless hero, I've gotta go
Gotta leave you all behind to find the gates
Moron, oooo ( :Roy: Anyway the wind blows)
I'm not going to die
I sometimes think I've been working this plot too long...

:elan: I see a little bitty halfling over there
Hey Belkar! Hey Belkar! Thanks for singing this with me!
:durkon: Thunderbolt and lightning! Thor, please do some smitin', please
:haley: Gold medallions, gold medallions
Gold medallions, gold medallions
Gold medallions, here we go! Magnifico...

:redcloak: I'm just a sidekick, no one respects me
:roach: He's just a sidekick, living in misery
:redcloak: Spare me from Xykon's gross insanity
:mitd: Dark in here, dark in here, will you let me go?
:xykon: We need you :roach: no! He will not let you go :mitd: let me go!
:xykon: We need you :roach: no! He will not let you go :mitd: let me go!
:xykon: We need you :roach: no! He will not let you go :mitd: let me go!
:roach: will not let you go :mitd: let me go!
:roach: will not let you go :mitd: let me go!
:xykon: no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
:roach: we can't see you, we can't see you, we can't see you :mitd: let me go
:mitd: At least, Xykon, could there be a tea party for me? For meee? For meeee???

:roy: So you think you can kill me and leave me for the rats?
Stick me up here with dad and angel bureaucrats?
:thog: Oh puppies! Don't forget Thog like puppies!
:roy: Just gotta get rezzed, just gotta get rezzed out of here...

:elan: This was really fun, huh?
Anyone can see
Singing songs is fun, wow. Singing songs is real fun... to me...

:vaarsuvius: any way the wind blows...

(If not, I'll come up with somethin' else.)

Oh, wait. August 15th. I didn't pay attention to that. Sorry, don't mind me. Carry on.

...I know his entry was late, but can I change my vote now? That's beyond awesome...

[V'icternus]

Indeed it was. Indeed it was...

[Andore Mordre]

SERIOUSLY.

[Elfin]

I'd like to change my vote, too. Belkarian Rhapsody was awesome. :smallbiggrin:

[GreatWyrmGold]

Sorry to fans of the Rhapsody, I'm Good, but I'm also Lawful. In fact, Lawful is first. Plus, if I let someone bend the rules now, someone else in a future contest will want me to let them bend the rules a bit more, etc, until my contests' rules are shattered.

[Scarlet Knight]

Yaaay ! I finished in the top 3 for the category: "Disqualified Songs"!

I'd like to take this time to thank the thread, but especially Tannhaeuser for his support, and I'd like to thank my thesaurus and....

Alas, I am too late to vote. I will say however that Belkarian Rhapsody was epic. :smallcool:

[Berserk Monk]

In the very distant past somewhere in Southern Lands
Red Cloak and Lord Xykon were hatching an evil plan.
They imprisoned a paladin by the name of O-Chul
An awesome guy they didn't think was cool.
Red Cloak asked about the gates, but he wouldn't explain
So they zapped him with paralysis and sent him to another plane.
:xykon:"We'll send him cheesy bard with really horrible tales.
He'll have to listen to them all which will make anyone ail."
Now keep in mind O-Chul can't control when the bards begin or end.
He'll try to make all his will saves with the help of his PC friends.
PC Roll-Call:
Durkon
Haley
Belkar Bitterleaf
Roy
If you're wondering how he's got so many hit points and other D&D stats
Just repeat to yourself it's just a strip, you should really just relax

...I know his entry was late, but can I change my vote now? That's beyond awesome...

Thank you, and others, very much.

In the future, I shall try to discover contests before they are over.

[Scarlet Knight]

I'm glad you shared it with us. I always look forward to seeing the cleverness of people who submit to a thread, and this one didn't disappoint. Some songs brought back great memories; I'm just sorry I couldn't recognize them all.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Yeah, how's that Lawful again? :smalltongue:

Well, I'm also a dragon. Sometimes, patriotism goes above alingment.

Also, I officially open this thread for ANY song about the OotS!!!

[Bad Situation]

Has anyone done V-Man (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq1G-diee1o) yet?

[Ripped Shirt Kirk]

Aghhh! I can't choose! I want to choose Azure City Bus, but I also want to see We Will Rock You win! If I can only choose one, I choose Azure City Bus.

[Andore Mordre]

Aghhh! I can't choose! I want to choose Azure City Bus, but I also want to see We Will Rock You win! If I can only choose one, I choose Azure City Bus.

Thanks for that!...pity the contest ended so long ago. :smalltongue:

[Ripped Shirt Kirk]

Ummmm..... oops.

[ref]

Yeah. It was a bit rigged, though. So if it makes you feel any better, We Will Rock You is the rightful winner. :smallwink: :smallbiggrin:

[GreatWyrmGold]

Yeah. It was a bit rigged, though. So if it makes you feel any better, We Will Rock You is the rightful winner.

Oh, so are you suggesting my reasons weren't just?
Okay, just let me cast a few sendings...

"Someone just said dragons aren't amazing. I know, inconcievable! I mean, half of the game was named for us! And we have the highest CRs!"
"Oh, wait, 25 word limit. I'm honestly suprized the division was in between sentences. Where was I? Oh, yes. I was talking about CRs! Also, -"
"In the words of Nale, 'Who can get anything meaningful said in 25 words?' Well, I think we can all agree this guy deserves to-"
"-Be eliminated, but in a humane way. The chromatics may disagree, but I think he should be treated relatively kind to him.
I have words-"

Repeat with other powerful dragons.
They'll agree.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Aghhh! I can't choose! I want to choose Azure City Bus, but I also want to see We Will Rock You win! If I can only choose one, I choose Azure City Bus.
Crap, wish I'd seen this earlier, you got part of my entry in your sig :P
