OK, then here's the current version. It's close enough to the top of the page that it should last us for a while.
W I P: I AM THE VERY MODEL OF A FUCKING AWESOME GENERAL
I AM THE VERY MODEL OF A FUCKING AWESOME GENERAL,
WELL VERSED IN THINGS AUTHORITATIVE, ROMANTIC, AND TEMPORAL.
THAT BRAINLESS JUGGALO BELIEVES MY LEADERSHIP'S A MIRACLE.
IF YOU REFUSE TO FOLLOW ME, THEN YOU ARE FUCKING TERRIBLE.
I'M VERY WELL ACQUAINTED, TOO, WITH EVERYTHING TO DO WITH PAILS,
WITH MATESPRITSHIP AND KISMESIS, WITH AUSPISTICES AND MORAILS
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
MY REALISTIC SELF-IMAGE IS JUST ONE FORM OF MY MASTERY—
I NEVER SHY FROM POINTING OUT MISTAKES MADE BY A PASTER ME.
IN SHORT, IN THINGS AUTHORITATIVE, ROMANTIC, AND TEMPORAL
I AM THE VERY MODEL OF A FUCKING AWESOME GENERAL.
I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's;
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox,
THE DERSIAN KING WILL TELL YOU THAT MY TRIUMPH'S INESCAPABLE,
FOR NEVER IN TROLL HIST'RY HAS A LEADER BEEN SO CAPABLE.
I CAN WIELD MY SICKLE WHILE PERFORMING YOUTH ROLLS ACROBATICALLY,
AND MAKE A SERIES OF INSPIRING SPEECHES CHARISMATICALLY.
INDEED, I'D SAY MY GREATEST STRENGTH IS MY ADAPTABILITY,
WHICH SERVES ME WELL WHEN I AM QUELCHING INTRA-TEAM HOSTILITY.
I'LL ALWAYS KEEP THINGS RUNNING TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITIES,
I'VE NEVER BEEN A TROLL TO SHIRK FROM MY RESPONSIBILITIES.
IN SHORT, IN THINGS AUTHORITATIVE, ROMANTIC, AND TEMPORAL
I AM THE VERY MODEL OF A FUCKING AWESOME GENERAL.
IN FACT, WHEN I KNOW HOW TO STOP A DOZEN TROLLS FROM FLIPPING OUT
WHEN HALF OF THEM ARE PSYCHOPATHS AND ONE OF THEM IS TRIPPING OUT,
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at,
And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat",
When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery—
WHEN I CAN PACIFY THE GRUBBERS WHO CRY "LET ME OUT OF THIS"
WELL, THEN IT CAN BE SAID THAT I AM EVERYBODY’S AUSPISTICE.
For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
BUT STILL, IN THINGS AUTHORITATIVE, ROMANTIC, AND TEMPORAL
I AM THE VERY MODEL OF A FUCKING AWESOME GENERAL.

Even Kanaya got to go back!

This is all going over my head.
It seems to be completely so not fair.

Okay, this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever done. It's on the edge of lyric rewriting and a full-blown scene. But decide for yourself which direction it leans in.
Mother 1's "Eight Melodies" rewritten. Only in WIP form because of freakin' Eridan. XD Not sure he should have so many lines.
EDIT: Changed status to complete since the lyrics were already done and all I did was tweak Vriska's line a bit from 8 o's to 8 exclamation marks. The version with acts, however, is still WIP due to a lack of lines and will continue to be so unless somebody wants to try their hand at it.

With "acts"
Intro: Karkat gets into a rant, telling everybody not to sing their stupid little song.
[During verse Karkat is ordering them to stop.]
Vriska: We're here at the door!!!!!!!!
Kanaya: There Is Nothing More
Terezi: TW1ST OF TH3 KNOB 4ND
Gamzee: OuR dReAmS wIlL sOaR. (Karkat: THIS IS INSUBORDINATION!)
Nepeta: :33 < We can go home
Aradia: all t0gether
Equius: D --> We have weathered
Tavros: bECAUSE WE HELD ONTO HOPE,
Karkat: OH HOPE. (sounds like he is sick of "hope")
Intermission: After some talking Karkat grudgingly lets the others finish their sappy, stupid song. So long as they hurry up.
Vriska: We're here at the door!!!!!!!!
Kanaya: There Is Nothing More
Terezi: TW1ST OF TH3 KNOB 4ND
Gamzee: OuR dReAmS wIlL sOaR.
Nepeta: :33 < We can go home
Aradia: all t0gether
Equius: D --> We have weathered
Tavros: bECAUSE WE HELD ONTO HOPE,
Karkat: OH HOPE. (sounds like he is really sick of "hope")
Intermission: More arguing over how this is stupid. Why don't they get on with it, the Black King is dead, bluh, bluh, bluh. Nepeta begins humming softly.
[Repeat again. Throughout verse Karkat is yelling in the background. Nepeta is humming loudly by this point before fully breaking out into song, completely ignoring everybody else.]
Nepeta: :33 < Were here at the door!
:33 < There is nothing more!
:33 < Twist of the knob and
:33 < Our dreams will soar!
:33 < We can go home
:33 < All together
:33 < We have weathered
:33 < Because we held onto hope!
Nepeta and Eridan:
:33 < Oh-ho hope!
Oh-ho hope.
Karkat: OKAY.
Nepeta and Eridan:
:33 < Oh-ho hope!
Oh-ho hope.
Karkat: STOP IT.
Nepeta (loudly), Eridan (now more confident/loud), and Tavros (quietly):
:33 < Oh-ho hope!
Oh-ho hope.
oH-HO HOPE,
Intermission: Karkat curses at the trio for ignoring orders. Vriska hits Tavros, berating him for singing, but admitting that it was funny seeing Karkat get flustered. Equius tells Nepeta that although her enthusiasm for hope was STRONG, perhaps she got a little too carried away with it. Eridan of course disagrees. Sollux gives his two cents on the matter. Feferi glubs to Eridan about something. Terezi teases Karkat.
Conversations finally slow when Karkat screams at them to shut up (especially about the damn door - it's RIGHT THERE).
Eridan ends up getting himself into a tizzy, inspiring him to continue singing.
Eridan: Hope is my powwer
Hope is my glory
Hope is the beauty
That the Prince has wwrought.
Feferi: -Eridan, o)( glub...
Eridan: Hope is the science
Hope is my story
Hope is my melody
That wwe havve sought.
Sollux: wiill you. 2hut. up.
[During repeat Eridan sings quietly.]
Hope is my powwer
Hope is my glory
Hope is the beauty
That the Prince has wwrought.
Feferi: ----Eridan.
Hope is the science
Hope is my story
Hope is my melody
That wwe havve sought.
Sollux: 2eriiou2ly 2hut the hell up.
Eridan: Hope is my powwer
Hope is my glory
Hope is the beauty
That the Prince has wwrought.
Hope is the science
Hope is my story
Hope is my melody
That wwe havve sought.
Hope is my powwer
Hope is my glory
Hope is the beauty
That the Prince has wwrought.
Hope is the science
Hope is my story
Hope is my melody
That wwe havve sought.
Take a melody
Simple as can be
Give it some words
And sweet harmony
Raise your voices
All day long now
Love grows strong now
Sing a melody of love,
oh love
(Repeat x2)
Love is the power
Love is the glory
Love is the beauty
And the joy of spring
Love is the magic
Love is the story
Love is the melody
We all can sing
(Repeat x3)
The two goals here were:
1. To assign each troll at least one line. They would never sing together like in the original song, so they had to have their own lines.
2. Dialogue. In the original there is a lot of "la la la la la" and we know that not even half of the trolls would stand to sing through that. Unfortunately I'm horrible with capturing their voices. Soooo if anybody wants to take a shot at recording some of this you'll know what to fill the "la la la" portions with. :P Doesn't even have to be what I typed up there. Go with your gut!
Oh gog so much color coding. @_@

Your chumhandle is doctorSmashem. your mask is that of a psychiatrist overlapping a bored client who is perhaps just too shy for his or her own good.
Also, I'm doing this as a bit of a reference guide of how I intended the syllables to be in IF YOU COULD HATE(Although I am a bit female to be Karkat. I don't want to have any part in the finished product, just mapping out the syllables. Also I put no effort into the voice in this because I have a bit of a sore throat and it's just a syllable guide.)
@Ace Problem Inspector - You are so cool, and thank you.
@SquirrelPants - Awesome, thanks.

I'm a filkwriter at heart. Here are some of my songs!
Hello :D So, I rewrote the lyrics to Under the Sea from the Little Mermaid with Sun Stealer and with help from codeGnave and Whatever You Say =) It's with Feferi and Eridan singing, so once we record it I'll post it :D
Would anyone kill me if I posted all my old stuff?
YES. >| (nah, we would only maim you slightly)
A buddy of mine wrote another Boom De Yada from a fan's POV I guess? And I was kind of wondering If we could get a bunch of people to sing it and make a whole big World Peace MSPA Mashup going on!
Sing it in your own voice, sing it with a friend, just say the words in rhythm, I don't care!
Lyrics, original and an instrumental version in the spoiler:
Boom de Yada rewrite by shonen413
I love the troll kids / I love john’s clear blue eyes ...
I love the grist types / I love when Tavros flies ...
I love the lo worlds / And all their sights and sounds ...
On another topic, am I wrong in thinking that someone already set up a project thread for the Radio deal? Or was it just the free radio website that was made?
im all alone
all by myself
there is no one here beside me
im all alone
quite all alone
no one to comfort me or guide me

I definitely like the first lines of both of those couplets! The only thing is that for the second couplet, I might have to move anything I take from it to a verse other than the seventh verse, or else rephrase it. The reason for that is that the seventh and eighth verses follow a theme of "when I can do this, when I can do that," all leading up to the conclusion that all these skills make Karkat everybody's auspistice.
Once I'm done with my homework for the day, I'll work on incorporating this new material. Thanks for contributing! Keep it up--this is a tough song and we will only complete it by working together.

I'm a little late to the party, but this is so amazing and perfect. X'D Bravo.
Ahahaha, thanks guys. The best part was that I hardly had to change Eridan's lines at all, because it was pretty much perfect for him already. Most of the effort involved was in Karkat's lines.
