You songwriters are awesome with your parodys! Should we start practicing soon?
Well. let me say, this doesn't top Robin's song. That should be the tile cut on the parody album. But I did parody another Eagles Hit Learn to Be Still
They Live In Us Still
It's just another day in LitNet paradise
As I’m logging on again—
With my mind still filled with memories
Of Those voices from “The Lost Ones” Thread
Voices that somehow were silenced—
I try to understand but I probably never will.
But though gone they’re not forgotten—
They live in us still—
They live in us still…
[Guitar music]
You see, I could tell you something about losses—
How bad it feels to be alone.
You can end up wandering 'round some forsaken desert—
And wind up taking the wrong road home.
But the clock rings for another—
They have to answer that old bell;
And one more friend that we all know and love—
Bids a bittersweet farewell—
But they live in us still—
They live in us still…
[Guitar music]
Now we need to cultivate their memories—
Maybe write each name on some cyberspace wall!
When I promised Jack would never be forgotten—
I wasn’t just clacking my old jaws! Oh,oh—
[Instrumental]
[Solo]
How can we make it a tradition?
When we loose another friend?
(We keep asking)
How could something like that happen?
And the shock just never seems to end—
Never seems to end.
Though the world is torn and shaken—
Even if our hearts are breaking—
We got to hold own to what made our friends worth making!
Never let it go unrevealed—
They live in us still—
They live in us still…
[Guitar music]
Keep them alive! Oh, yeah…
Gotta keep them alive, they live in us still…
And in honor of the most hotly contested and I believe longest running thread on the LitNet, another parody of an Eagles Hit Hole In the World Tonight
The whole song is sung acapella. My own way of doing it is to chord a guitar, and then use my fingers to tap the guitar body like a bongo drum two fingers, three fingers, two fingers is the beat. It makes a faint sound from the strings and just a tapping from the hollow body of the guitar.
Hole In the LitNet World Tonight
There's a hole in the LitNet world tonight
So much grief and sorrow
There's a hole in the LitNet world tonight
Is there gonna be a hole in the LitNet world tomorrow?
Some say evolution is justified; creationism unproven.
Good and evil are just states of mind.
All this fighting and name-calling doesn't serve any purpose.
Children, how can we be so blind?
There's a hole in the LitNet world tonight
So much grief and sorrow
There's a hole in the LitNet world tonight
Is there gonna be a hole in the LitNet world tomorrow?
Creationists speak about a land over yonder,
Joy everlasting, life without end!
But when we can't even take the time to love one another
Tell me, who's gonna make it to this Promised Land?
There's a hole in the LitNet world tonight
So much grief and sorrow
There's a hole in the LitNet world tonight
Is there gonna be a hole in the LitNet world tomorrow?
There's a hole in the world tonight
OH, all this fighting and name-calling doesn't serve any purpose—
Is there gonna be a hole in the LitNet world tomorrow?
There's a hole in the LitNet world tonight
Tell me children how can we be so blind?
Is there gonna be a hole in the LitNet world tomorrow?
There's a hole in the LitNet world tonight
If we can't take the time to just love one another--
Is there gonna be a hole in the LitNet world tomorrow?
There's a hole in the LitNet world tonight
Tell me, now, who's gonna make it to that Promised Land?
Is there gonna be a hole in the LitNet world tomorrow?
Is there gonna be a hole (hold two beats)
Is there gonna be a hole in the LitNet world (hold three beats)
Tomorrow....
Tomorrow....
Pen - You are hot!
Indeed, you are on Fire, I love it :)
Pendragon, you never cease to amaze!! BRAVO!!
Thank you. Robin was the inspiration behind the parody songs, and wrote what I still consider to be the very best. I'd love to hear the album made. Let's see, we have, what, five parody songs? A CD usually will have at least say, 10. So we need 5 more. Hummmm. "Hotel LitNet" needs to be in there somewhere don't you think, Robin? I've also been thinking about The Eagles song Get Over It! but I'm unsure of how to procede with that one. ;) Maybe then New Kid In Town That would make three and we'd still be short two. I might try to do that "Hotel LitNet" if you haven't already started it. Producer! What do we have for other albums?
Parody of Eagles Hit Hotel California
We had to have this one...No Eagles pardoy album would be complete without it. Sorry, guys, I seem to be on a roll.
Hotel LitNet
Out on the cyberspace highway—
Popup windows everywhere:
I was looking for an oasis,
Just a place to clear the air.
Suddenly there on my search page window,
Beckoning like a neon light—
Was a name that made my head begin to swim—
Looked like a fun place, all right!
So I clicked on the Home Page—
Checked everything out for a while:
Then I figured me out a sign-on name
And an atvar that fitted my style.
At first I felt like a man with a candle—
Now a searchlight wouldn’t be out of place.
You can hear sweet voices calling you—
From people of every Nation and Race…

WILDBERRY PIE
A parody of "American Pie" by Don McLean
Since a long, long time ago
We have all remembered
How Aurora used to make us smile
And all were lucky who got the chance
To ask Elizabeth for a dance
And maybe tango with her for a while
Unnamable's posting made us shiver
Many smileys Night would deliver
Each call for a birthday sonnet
Adil and Pen were on it
If Rachel was sad, we all would cry
If she were happy, we could fly
(Though Pensive's still up in the sky)
How does the time go by?
My, my, that sweet wildberry pie,
Love to taste 'em, never waste 'em
Or throw 'em in someone's eye
And those Merryfolk, every girl to her guy,
Singing, "May the LitNet Forums never die!"
May the LitNet Forums never die!
Let's all read the Book of Love
Or argue about that God above
"Do you believe? Yes or no?"
We can share our love of rock and roll
Unless you prefer ol' Nat King Cole?
Or do you like to play Beethoven real slow...?
If parodies are your cup of tea,
Then PB & J's who you should see
They're LitNet's resident band
We'll play on stage, on demand!!
If you're a lonely teen, or just feeling glum,
LitNet's where you'll find a chum
Just stop by Sherwood, have some fun
And a slice of our favorite pie...
Have some of
My, my, my sweet wildberry pie,
Love to taste 'em, never waste 'em
Or throw 'em in someone's eye
And those Merryfolk, every girl to her guy,
Singing, "May the LitNet Forums never die!"
May the LitNet Forums never die!
Ever since Admin's been around
Posts were made, and friends were found
And that's how it should always be
When Aimus sang for that Eva chick
A deserted island they did pick
For a romantic stroll beside the sea
And while Scher was looking down
Robin shot off her fairy crown
A more impressive war
Was never seen before
The Dastardlys under Cap'n Stan
Virgil--the Amazon's only man! :eek: :blush:
Loading cannons with shot and SPAM
But they'll all still stop for pie...
They were singin'
My, my, that sweet wildberry pie,
Love to taste 'em, never waste 'em
Or throw 'em in someone's eye
And those Merryfolk, every girl to her guy,
Singing, "May the LitNet Forums never die!"
May the LitNet Forums never die!
Here and there! Who's lost? Samer!
Has Logos come out from her lair?
Bandwidth's low and falling faaaaast
Papaya sits atop the mast
The nest is hit by a cannon blast
Stan swoops in to save his lass
Papaya wears a giant smile
As she's walking down the aisle
She'll finally say, "I do"
A marriage long overdue!
The church bells begin to ring
Wedding's on, but there's just one thing
Cap'n Stan still needs to get CLEAN!
At least the place has pie
They were singin'
My, my, that sweet wildberry pie,
Love to taste 'em, never waste 'em
Or throw 'em in someone's eye
And those Merryfolk, every girl to her guy,
Singing, "May the LitNet Forums never die!"
May the LitNet Forums never die!
And there we were, all in one place
A gathering across cyberspace
Where everybody knows your name
So come on, join the party, tell your tale
Your LitNet Crier's in the mail
Write a story, or play a game
The PB & J now takes the stage!
What happens next? Just turn the page!
We start to play our song
But it doesn't go on for long,
Because new members are all over the place
Each one with a different face
But one thing's always the case
They all just LOVE our pie
And we were singin',
My, my, that sweet wildberry pie,
Love to taste 'em, never waste 'em
Or throw 'em in someone's eye
And those Merryfolk, every girl to her guy,
Singing, "May the LitNet Forums never die!"
May the LitNet Forums never die!
I met a girl who looked like Claire
She had wings to carry her through the air
And she would smile and look my way
And I looked in my message box
To see everyone telling me, "Robin Hood ROCKS!!!" :D
So I'd have to empty that darn thing every day
And on those threads, the ladies screamed
The writers cried, and the poets dreamed
A lot of folks were jokin'
That the Forums could never be broken
And the Mods that I admire most
Banned the bad ones, so now they're toast
And the Dastardly's got it's very own ghost :cool:
Who should never say good-bye
And we were singin'
My, my, that sweet wildberry pie,
Love to taste 'em, never waste 'em
Or throw 'em in someone's eye
And those Merryfolk, every girl to her guy,
Singing, "May the LitNet Forums never die!"
May the LitNet Forums never die!
We were singin'
My, my, that sweet wildberry pie,
Love to taste 'em, never waste 'em
Or throw 'em in someone's eye
And those Merryfolk, every girl to her guy,
Singing, "May the LitNet Forums never die!"
May the LitNet Forums never die!
Behold! The pièce de résistance!!!
Oh my... WONDERFUL!!! Beyond words, M'lord...
I am about to faint. :blush:
Quel talent! :thumbs_up
