The PB&J from the LITNET jaja

Here Robin! And THAT IS WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT! YOU ROCK! Good parody song man! Great! (Funny how the two of us both love the Eagles considering that I'm probable old enough to be your dad!) Hee! :D :lol:

Perhaps someone who can write music, not lyrics can put the music to this for me? It should have Latino syle guitars. The wolf howl on the end can be electronicly mixed, I believe? I can play and sing this one, but my guitar style is somewhat unorthadox, having learned to play everything by ear, no music lessons.

Song of El Lobo

Soft in the stillness, in the cold light of the moon—
I hear the sound come drifting on the wind.
And high on some lofty crag, nose pointed to the sky—
El Lobo lets forth that cry again!
Part of me just trembles; part of me grows cold;
The eerie notes give part of me the chills—
Yet a part deep inside of me that cry somehow calls,
And my spirit longs to roam the lonely hills—
With El Lobo—
Wild, free Lobo…

Somehow I see him sitting there face lifted to the sky—
And I hear his voice as he calls to his mate.
Far off down the canyon, I hear her joyous reply—
I know she’s rushing now to where he awaits!
Together I hear their voices, singing their wild, free song—
A duet of love in perfect harmony!
Yet there are those who cannot understand why I should love their song—
Or why that it is music to me!
The Song of El Lobo—
Wild, free Lobo…

Tonight my spirit seems to soar, to float up into Night Skies—
With the wild wolf band I roam the lonely hills.
My problems and my cares, ah, they are left so far behind—
Gazing down from heights; experiencing new thrills!
Upon some forgotten summit, my face lifted to the sky,
Staring at the Moon as she stares back at me—
My voice rings out clear and strong into the night—
An exultant cry of endless ecstasy!
Like the song of El Lobo—
Wild, free Lobo…

Maybe someday I’ll finally be—
As free as I can be—
Free as El Lobo!
Wild, free Lobo!
(End on wolf howling in the distance.)

And even more imaginity songs come to the PB&J, before long we will be forced to make it a double album! :)

...Imagine the paperwork involved in that... :p ;)

Hey this is great for someone with a wolf avatar to sing. Thanks Pen! :thumbs_up

Yo, Robin! I've got a parody of The Eagles Hit The Last Resort

LitNet Paradise

They came from cyberspace—
Out in the real world,
Where their cares and problems hung
Heavy in the air.
Packed up their hopes and dreams,
and their philosophies—
Somewhat like explorers on
Some endless sea

They found this forum where
There were lots of similes—
Heard other people say
"Edgar Alan Poe's the Man!"
They came from everywhere—
The LitNet grew in size;
As they sought a place to stay—
Or soliloquize...

There were bandwidth overloads—
Too many people posting!
Admin could not believe
This site was far beyond all boasting!
We called it "Paradise",
"The Only Place To Be!"
Adimn watched the forum grow
Exponentially.

Lack of bandwidth slowed it down—
But they kept on joining!
Soon people 'round the world,
Had friends they might have missed knowing!
Posting several times a day,
From lands others never knew—
Inventing games and puzzles
And other things to do.

The poets came and wrote their rhymes—
Discussion threads were formed.
We even have a band and newspaper now—
So no one ever gets bored.
We call LitNet "Our Piece of Paradise"—
I don't know why.
Occasionally people will lock horns,
And sometime sparks will fly.

Moderators say "We can't have that now!
Have some respect for others!"
Most get the message and obey—
Others can be bothered.
So we've seen some come and go—
And some that tried to leave:
We're more like a family now—
Not just refugees.

So who provides the final line
On what is yours and what is mine?
Don't loose sight of what brought us here!
Stand united, without fear.
To satisfy our hopes and dreams—
Persuasion works as well as deeds.
You'd almost think this destiny—
Our LitNet forum.

So keep on posting, friend,
Evening or morning—
Let us all hear about
How much you like it here.
LitNet is "Our Piece of Paradise"—
I think I know why--
And to think I almost lost this paradise—
Kissed it good-bye (go to falsetto)

:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

HAHAHA!!!

High five, PENDRAGON!!! I thought you'd like the parody, and I was beyond pleased when my hopes were confirmed--but you have answered, and answered well!!

What can I say? I was raised on the Eagles, and they've stuck with me best over the few years I've been alive. We should write a whole album of Eagles parodies!

That's great. Lol, you guys are really talented!

Sounds good, Robin: Another parody Eagles Hit Life Has Been Good to Me So Far

The LitNet Has Been Good For Me So Far!

Hey, we joined the LitNet—
Didn't cost us a dime.
But it sure gets addicting—
Takes up all our time.
Posting like crazy—
Keeping up with the threads.
Tryin' to recall the words to a song
Sung by The Grateful Dead.
They me call me crazy but I have a good time,
The poets even turn the obituaries into beautiful good-byes!
The LitNet has been good for me so far!

My old slow computer
Couldn't keep up the pace.
Got me a new one
To surf cyberspace.
I'm churning the rhymes out,
Keeping up with the beat.
It's kinda like an addiction—
(gotta remember to eat!)
Got e-mail, chat, and PM—
Available to all.
So leave me a message—
Darn right, I'll call!
I know I talked about leavin' but I was a fool—
Everything's cool [The Band repeats COOL]
You can get a better education here than in many a school!
The LitNet has been good for me so far!

We sometimes stay on the forum—
Running on caffeine and fun.
But it's hard to leave
In the middle of something.
We might never wind up
With fortune or fame.
But nobody that comes here
Will leave quite the same.
My kids call me lazy 'cause this takes all my time—
OH YEAH? [The Band repeats YEAH!]
Too bad! I'm gonna keep going and don't ask me why!
The LitNet has been good for me so far!
How 'bout that LitNet Cafe?

How 'bout that LitNet Cafe?

Is that a hint to start a new thread, pen?
:D

Pen - I love this one too!!!

I forgot to say I loved it too.:D :nod:http://www.websmileys.com/sm/fingers/fing10.gif

Pendragon asked, so shall I answer...

THE LITNET CAFé
A parody of The Sad Café by the Eagles

Out on the LitNet threads, the posts
were swiftly coming
The Mods and Administrators had
logged off and gone away.

Up in the PM Inbox, the friends came softly calling
And we remember the times we spent
inside the LitNet Café

Oh, it seemed like a holy place,
protected by amazing grace
And we would all write in bold, the
things we could not say
We thought we could change this world
with names like "Rachel" and "Robin"
We were part of the family there
Inside the LitNet Café

Oh, expecting to fly,
we would meet on those beautiful threads in the
sweet by-and-by

Some of our dreams came true,
some just passed away :bawling:
And some of us stay here still
inside the LitNet Café.

Then Fate rolled in, it ripped and tore
Now that Jakobin, he don't stop here no more
Now I look at the years gone by,
and wonder at the powers that be.
I don't know why Fortune smiles on some
and lets the rest go free

Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
But things on these Forums change very quickly,
Or they never change at all
There's no use in asking why,
it just turned out that way
So meet me at midnight, (your time)
inside the LitNet Café.
Why don't you meet me at midnight, baby,
inside the LitNet Café?

Dedicated to the memory of Jakobin

.................................................. .................................................. ..

Ooh... merely wonderful, M'lord!!
That broke my little heart with bittersweet feelings.
Your words are so genuine...

...WOW!!

Excellent, Robin. A fitting tribute to Jackobin. Beautiful and as Liz said, bittersweet. I won't even attept to top it. That is the lead song for the album. We had a writter out there who just needed a lttle nudge.

What we need now is to decide what goes on with that song, and I think we have an album.

Man, that's beautiful writing. :nod:

Wouldn't hurt. But the song as my copy of the lyrics and my album have it ends on the words: "Here at the Sad Cafe" in tribute to the song that Robin so brilliantly parodied. I needed something there, so I put "How 'bout that LitNet Cafe?". After Robin's smash hit (Think Top 40 there, and well deserving of it!), I can't bring myself to pardoy another song right now. That was just awesome. :nod: http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/musik/b020.gif
