MSPA Lyric Re-writes and Singing: Nomination Time!

[Zosephine]

This gave me a horrible, terrible idea and I should be ashamed for having it.

Gamzee should be singing "Can you paint with all the colors of our kin?"

Well I was listening to my mp3 player on shuffle, and I was listening to the Barnum song "The Colors of my Life," and unfortunately immediately thought of Gamzee.

Does anyone else know Barnum? XD

[ceruleanTresses]

So everyone remembers ceruleanTresses' Memory parody she wrote
right
right

okay so everyone forgot I was supposed to sing it right
right

okay good then I'm done here

okaynotreally but holy crap this is bad, I'm so sorry but here it is

Hurray! I have been hoping this would get sung for ages! Thanks so much for singing it!

[Laasya Apria]

I wasn't sure if this would fit here, since it isn;t really lyrics, but it is singing, so here~

an idea that happened while singing in the shower XD!

I need to get a better microphone :c

This was so impressive that I couldn't finish it.

I know that sounds like an insult, but it wasn't. The quality here simply overwhelmed me. I couldn't handle listening to it, emotionally.

Good job!

I didn't but I listened and this must be done, especially with his reference to "cherry red." Who should be Charity, do you think? Some part of my mind is thinking Sopored!Gamzee, although this may be a bit silly. What do you think?

heheheh maybe it can be ALL MOTHERFUCKING CAPS Gamzee and slightly calmer no caps gamzee. Considering all of the colors are important...

[flutterShy]

Hurray! I have been hoping this would get sung for ages! Thanks so much for singing it!

I'm sorry I made you wait for something this bad; ech, I'll be re-recording soon I think

[ScientificFlorist]

@Zosephine - OMG that's brilliant. I'll whip something up once my head wraps around yesterday's update.

[Zosephine]

Oh, spacetimeCounselor, look what I made for youuu~



Bonus! Lazy overlay with the original music!

[SquirrelPants]

I have been missing from this thread for a while!

...As if any of you really care, right? I'm not even that good at singing.

Anyways, I still want to find people for Alternian Pie(I will make a list of characters that we can each do or something) and HaNdS tO tHe SkY I might take another swing at, but I wasn't pleased with my skills as a rapper so that one might not ever happen.

EDIT: Oh god, SF, Noir's Obession is beautiful. I'm adding that to my slowly expanding backlog of things to sing.

...Any all three of them are by you, I think? Is that weird? Whatever. Still doin' it.

[ScientificFlorist]

Also, I this song is almost scary in how much it wrote itself, I almost fell like some unseen hand made me write it. its a rewrite of 'do they know its christmas time at all' about all the poor unfortunate people left behind, who none of the kids seem to give a shit about.

Its Sburb time, theres no need to be afraid.
At Sburb time, we rock with john in his land of shade
And in the world of clockwork, we see Strider drop some beats.
Fight your own black king, at Sburb time.

But say a prayer, pray for the other ones
At Sburb time, its hard but when you’re having fun
There’s a world outside your session, and it’s a world of pain and fear
Where the only thing hapening, is the falling of meteors.
And the only the quests to go on, are the ones to find your doom
Well tonight thank god its them, instead of you.

And their wont be a team of drillers to save them this time
The greatest gift they’ll get today is death.
(ooooooooohhhhhhhhhh)
They are all gonna blow
Even hella jeff and sweet bro.

Do they know its Sburb time at all?

Here’s to kids, their on a doomed run
Here’s to trolls, underneath that burning sun

Do they know its Sburb time at all?

Goodbye world.X2

Goodbye world
(lord English is already here)

*repeat till fade*

Hope you enjoyed it.

Okay, this somehow went not acknowledged two pages ago and I want to know why. I think it's great! (Though I'm not sure who should sing it and some of the syllables may be a tad off) The entire idea is really clever.

I'm not even that really really really good at singing.

You made a typo there, here you are.

Seriously, you're really great at this! I know I'm probably biased since you're doing lots of stuff for me, but you rock!

Also, I'll have "the COLORS on THE walls" (Ugh, how do I display Gamzee's crazee quirk in one line like that) done and posted sometime tomorrow.

EDIT: And now, even at 4:45 in the morning, here's something that may help with the Alternian Pie project. (Nepeta and Equius aren't on the list because they didn't have any lines)

Needed Trolls for Alternian Pie
Aradia -
Tavros - Maybe BG?
Sollux - Voiced completely by SP except that one line that was all "noiir be clever"
Karkat - Probably BG
Kanaya -
Terezi -
Vriska -
Gamzee - Probably SP (Maybe BG)
Eridan - Maybe BG? (Or SP)
Feferi -

Really what we need are girls. Maybe I'll see if I can do some of the girls? Don't count on it, though, you heard me mauling my adequate Nepeta lyrics and making a monstrosity, and I don't want to do the same to these, I really like how they turned out.

[flutterShy]

Push comes to shove, I'm a decent Aradia, Florist.

(Don't even ask, I cannot even do a decent on the other females, alas. ._.)

[yokaiy]

I'm a pretty okay Fef if you need one. XD

Also, here's those lyrics I promised.

COMPLETED LYRICS
Aradia - Sorry The Lot (Parody of Sorry Her Lot here and here because there's a short and long version)

s0rry the l0t wh0 m0urn 0nes that fell
heavy the hearts that h0pe but vainly
sad are the tr0lls with n0 chance in hell
0f emerging fr0m this, t0 their dismay
s0rry the l0t wh0 m0urn 0nes that fell
heavy the hearts that h0pe but vainly
heavy the s0rr0w of th0se filled with dread
when success is a lie and h0pe is dead
when success is a lie and h0pe is dead
when success is a lie and h0pe is dead

s0rry the l0t wh0 m0urn 0nes that fell
heavy the hearts that h0pe but vainly
sad are the tr0lls with n0 chance in hell
0f emerging fr0m this, t0 their dismay
s0rry the l0t wh0 m0urn 0nes that fell
heavy the hearts that h0pe but vainly
heavy the s0rr0w of th0se filled with dread
when success is a lie and h0pe is dead
when success is a lie and h0pe is dead

sad is the time when 0ur quest is d0ne
dark are the w0rds that pr0phets prattle
when t0 vict0ry the g0dly 0ne
flies fr0m the empty wastes 0f battle
sad is the time when 0ur quest is d0ne
dark are the w0rds that pr0phets prattle
heavy the s0rr0w of th0se filled with dread
when success is a lie and h0pe is dead
when success is a lie and h0pe is dead

It was originally going to be written for Aradia, but it actually doesn't matter who sings this I guess. The lyrics aren't really Aradia-specific anymore. They were going to be, in the planning phase of this...

Also, guys, we should totally rewrite all of Pirates of Penzance for Homestuck and then perform it for the radio. It would be amazing.

what what why is this even in strikeout? Dammit I was thinking this earlier, you beat me to it. XD

Also if you need any terrible singing for Alternian Pie, call me up first.

[yokaiy]

Wha-lol. You think we should? Oh boy. XD

WE NEED TO ASSIGN ROLES AND SHIT.

Frederick - Sollux
Maybel - Aradia (sob not my couple of choice but I can dig it)
Pirate King - Eridan
Police Chief Dude - John
General - Karkat
That one sister who's really butch - Vriska
Ruth - Feferi
Policemen - Liv, WV, CD, Dave, Jade, maybe Rose if we have enough sisters.
That one pirate who hands people weapons in that one song - Equius

What am I doing with my life. lol

[ceruleanTresses]

Oh god yes, this must happen. But how will the plot work? Will it be the same plot as the original, or will it be different because the trolls are being...well...trolls?

Also, I think Nepeta needs to be a pirate. WITH CATLIKE TREAD.

I can probably modify "FUCKING AWESOME GENERAL" to remove direct references to Homestuck canon (I'm thinking in particular of the lines that mention Gamzee and Eridan). I could also change "Dersian king" to "Pirate king." I think most of it will work in the abstract, right? With the assumption that he's just talking about his exploits as the general of a bunch of arbitrary random trolls.

Also we definitely need to work Gamzee in somewhere. But which character would he be?

Also, at the end, Karkat can totally demand that the pirates surrender in the name of Her Imperious Condescension, lol.

Also, Vriska is another option for Ruth. (Wait, never mind, I just figured out why Feferi makes more sense.)

[ScientificFlorist]

Okay, here we are. I’m not quite satisfied with the GAMZEE/gamzee contrast, but I had to post this today.

THE colors ON the WALLS

show spoiler

hide spoiler

THE COLORS ON THE WALLS/the colors on the walls

ARE MOTHERFUCKIN GRAND/are sweeter than the sky

THE ROYAL SEA OF PINK/a cerulean smile

SOME MUSTARD THROUGH THE LAND/a blue that makes you cry

THE MIRACLE OF OUR MOONS/the green of plants forgotten

THE CLOUDS OF SKAIA’S FAME/the jade that shines like light

A MOTHERFUCKIN RAINBOW/a purple like a lilac

I’D PUT EM ALL TO SHAME/are the reason i fight

A GORY BROWNBLOOD SPRAY/the beauty of your gore

FROM ALL THOSE WHO ARE DEAD/the fading gasp of death

AND I WILL MAKE MY RAINBOWS GROW/i’ll paint those miracles

WITH TEAL AND CHERRY RED/with beauty from lost breath

AND SHOULD THE SLIME AGAIN/and if that jack noir

LEAD ME ASTRAY/should appear with that sword

THE COLORS ON THE WALLS/the colors on the wall

WILL BRING TO MIND MY CAUSE/will gain a little red

AND SHOW THE WAY/i give my word

THE MIRACLE OF OUR MOONS/the beauty of your gore

THE CLOUDS OF SKAIA’S FAME/the fading gasp of death

A MOTHERFUCKIN RAINBOW/i’ll paint those miracles

I’D PUT EM ALL TO SHAME/with beauty from lost breath

EDIT: Oh yeah

EDIT X2 COMBO: Sorry, Im on here on a proxy, which is messing up the color code, so I\'m taking that off until I get home.

[Zosephine]

@SF: oh my jegus gog, this is beautiful. :O~

There goes another item off my DO WANT song list! *glee*

edit: If you don't mind an alto Vriska, could I give it a shot? o3o

[ceruleanTresses]

Oh hell yes. Gamzee songs are the best songs.

[Zosephine]

I think I have "No Good Deed" done, unless someone can help me come up with more Horrorterror-like incantations or wants to tweak anything.

Completed Lyrics:

No Good Deed from Wicked

Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen

Will his flesh not be torn
Will his blood leave no stain
If they beat him
Will he feel no pain?
Will his bones never break
And however they try
To destroy him
Will John never die,
Will John never die?

Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka- eleka-



What good is this chanting?
I don't even know what I'm seeing!
I don't even know what place I ought to scry
Doc Scratch, who are you?
Omniscient, dead, or dreaming?
Just one more troll I can add to my
Generous supply?

No good deed goes unpunished
All passive thinking should be turned aggressive
No good deed goes unpunished
That's been my creed
My road of blame and mistrust
Led where such roads always lead
No good deed
Goes unpunished!

Jaspers
Dave, John, Jade
my mother...
My Mother!!



One question haunts and hurts
Just why am I seeking power?
Was it really to help my friends
in this most crucial hour?
Is greed all humans have
When looked at with a Terror's eye?
If greed's all that humans have
Maybe that's the reason why

No good deed goes unpunished
All helpful urges should be circumvented
No good deed goes unpunished
Sure, I meant well -
Well, look at what well-meant did
All right, enough - so be it
So be it, then:
Let all Skaia be agreed
I'm grimdark through and through
Since I can not succeed
Dear mother saving you
I promise no good deed
Will I attempt to do again
Ever again
No good deed
Will I do again!

I guess it'd be mostly the same plot as the actual musical, with alterations to make it more... Homestuck-y? Also lol, yes, pirate Nepeta. Excellent. And yeah, I don't think you'd have to change yours too much, though I'll have to edit Sorry The Lot a LOT to make it go back to musical-canon.

B-but John has to make them surrender, since he's the officer.

Also.

Guys.

I have found the script.

We can do this.

We can.

Make.

This.

Hapen.

Oh god yes. This will be freaking awesome.

How will we divide up the labor? I'm glad to assist with both lyrics and dialogue, so if you want to assign me a chunk of it to work on, I can do that.

A Enfoncé à la Maison. Rewriting Les Miserables, Homestuck style.


Who will be strong and stand with me?

You know, I actually have been sort of half-working on a rewrite of that particular song, set immediately before the battle with the Black King. Also I've got a couple Les Mis rewrites in my sig, so there is some progress already if any of it's usable. LET'S MAKE THIS HAPEN ALSO.

Vriska, can I come over after school? (after school)
We can hang around by the pool (hang by the pool)
Did your mom get back from her business trip? (business trip)
Is she there, or is she trying to give me the slip? (give me the slip)

You know, I'm not the little grub that I used to be
I'm all grown up now, baby can't you see

Vriska's mom has got it goin' on
She's all I want and I've waited for so long
Vriska, can't you see you're just not the troll for me
I know it might be wrong but I'm in love with Vriska's mom

Vriska's mom has got it goin' on
Vriska's mom has got it goin' on

Vriska, do you remember when I mowed your lawn? (mowed your lawn)
Your mom came out with just a towel on (towel on)
I could tell she liked me from the way she stared (the way she stared)
And the way she said, "You missed a spot over there" (a spot over there)

And I know that you think it's just a fantasy
But since your dad got culled, your mom could use a troll like me

Vriska's mom has got it goin' on
She's all I want, and I've waited so long
Vriska, can't you see you're just not the troll for me
I know it might be wrong,

I'm in love with (Vriska's mom oh oh)
(Vriskas mom oh oh)
I'm in love with Vriska's mom

Very rough....yeah.
need some help with it.

[Zephyr]

@Zosephine - Yesssssssss. This is good. I'd sing it, but I have balls. Oh well.

We need to start a Skype chat of Lyricists and vocalists. Everyone who's interested, PM me or post your Skype handles so we can make this shit...



Transpire.
