MSPA Lyric Re-writes and Singing: Nomination Time!

[KidKourage]

Mintt, I've just been listening to all your acoustic covers this morning--they're AMAZING and I love your voice.

cT, thank you! And man, yes, more Mumford & Sons pretty please! That's a great song, looking forward to your rewrite.

pO, your casting. It makes me giggle. Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite movies, seeing rewrites for it would be awesome. I'd say I could sing for some of the girl characters (Vriska would be fun and Beast doesn't have too many singing lines in the movie), but I'd hate to take parts away from people who can actually sing and have better recording equipment. XD;

[mintt]

finally got to giving it a listen over and cT is right, that Mumford and Sons cover is gr8!!!!!!!!
hahaha
and you are definitely a better Vriska than I am. I have written several rewrites for her and I recently tried to record one and the outcome was... not quite what I wanted hahahahaha.

@KidKourage:: aww man, thanks so much! hehe
I'm still not very good at ukulele, but I'm hoping to actually get some lessons at some point (maybe; if my wallet will stop crying) so if/when that happens, my ability to make things sound okay-ish will hopefully improve!

[KidKourage]

Mintt, ohmigosh thank you! That means a lot coming from someone with such talent! I'm looking forward to hearing more of your recordings. =]

[Ether]

That's the only Mumford & Sons song I actually know. x_x I liked the parody--I'm a sucker for rewrites that go for a completely different meaning than the original.

Also, 2x fishgirl combo.
Man! I'm Feeling Aquatic (complete; original here)

Let's go, -Eridan!
Come on!

We're going out to sea
Just you, your dad, and me
Sit back and feel the undertow
Don't care what time of day
The sun don't hold no sway
When you're a thousand leagues below

No inhibitions
Make no conditions
Actually, there's one; I lied
You still have to act
Politically correct
But really, who needs genocide?

The best thing about being aquatic
Is the prerogative to have a little fun and

GLUB GLUB GLUB
No tactical toil
Forget you're a royal
Cull jars, striped scarves
GLUB GLUB GLUB
Really go wild, yeah
Maybe even smile
GLUB GLUB GLUB
Nothing to ground you; life all around you
Run out of air, what do you care
GLUB GLUB GLUB
You gotta be free, yeah, to glub the things you feel
Man! I'm feeling aquatic!

There's life outside your hive
It's time to take a dive
And see it with your own two eyes
We'll frolic with the beasts
My horrorterror eats
And never fret what that implies

The best thing about being aquatic
Is the prerogative to have a little fun and

GLUB GLUB GLUB
No tactical toil
Forget you're a royal
Cull jars, striped scarves
GLUB GLUB GLUB
Really go wild, yeah
Maybe even smile
GLUB GLUB GLUB
Nothing to ground you; life all around you
Run out of air, what do you care
GLUB GLUB GLUB
You gotta be free, yeah, to glub the things you feel
Man! I'm feeling aquatic!

The best thing about being aquatic
Is the prerogative to have a little fin
(Fun. Fun!)

GLUB GLUB GLUB
Why hate the city
When you can feel pity?
Fish puns, huge guns
GLUB GLUB GLUB
Glowsticks in style, yeah
Deep below your isle
GLUB GLUB GLUB
Glide through the current
Be all that you weren't
Color your hair, do what you dare
GLUB GLUB GLUB
You gotta be free, yeah, to glub the things you feel
Man! I'm feeling aquatic!

You've been totally crazy
Can't you reel it in
Come, come, come on -Eridan
F--E--ELING AQUATIC

Fishgirl Casanova (complete; original here)

show spoiler

hide spoiler

You better take it from me
That girl is such a damn tease
You're flushed and you're trying, you're trying to go red
But you won't get ahead with Feferi
She's like a curse; she's such a drag
She has a tendency to nag
You can plot genocide but she'll keep your hands tied
And one day you'll realize you've lost your path

She's a highblood fishgirl casanova
Glubbing peptalks with a nautical theme
She acts like a loveable princess
But I know her type, so don't even dream
She's a broodfester broad
With a cheery facade
And she doesn't truly have a heart
Just a collapsing and expanding bladder-based aquatic vascular system
It's gonna tear you apart

I see that look on your face
You still don't see your disgrace
So I'll give you this spiel 'til you get the idea
And you learn to accept your proper place
Don't tell yourself you're a prize
I'm fucking rolling my eyes
She'll accept your assistance but keep a safe distance
She'll leave you when your convenience dies

She's a highblood fishgirl casanova
Glubbing peptalks with a nautical theme
She acts like a loveable princess
But I know her type, so don't even dream
She's a broodfester broad
With a cheery facade
And she doesn't truly have a heart
Just a collapsing and expanding bladder-based aquatic vascular system
It's gonna tear you apart

Run, run away
Before she puts you to work
I bet her lusus craves some bicyclops
Oh, wait, it's dead
It snuffed you out as a perk
Well, just remember

She's a highblood fishgirl casanova
Glubbing peptalks with a nautical theme
She acts like a loveable princess
But I know her type, so don't even dream
She's a broodfester broad
With a cheery facade
And she doesn't truly have a heart
Just a collapsing and expanding bladder-based aquatic vascular system
It's gonna tear you apart

Oh, it's gonna tear you apart
Oh, it's gonna tear you apart

[CholericViverrid]

We're doing Poe in English class, and we had to do a rewrite of 'Eldorado'. It had to follow the original theme of the poem, which was a search for something that was impossible to find. Naturally, I wrote about my fruitless quest for Faygo.

A fizzy drink
but do not think
that I am a juggalo
foremost and first
I simply thirst
for real delicious Faygo

But Mapquest failed
to show a trail
So I asked a juggalo
“Will you please show
where I should go
to get delicious Faygo

“YoU nEeD mIrAcLeS
lItTlE sIs ,
DoN’t YoU mUtHeRfUcKiNg KnOw?
HoNk hOnK HoNk hOnK
hOnK HoNk hOnK HoNK
iF yOu ThIrSt FoR fAyGo.”

[mintt]

ehehehe, no problem! and thank you! and just... aww jeez I'm blushin'! ehehehe <3
I have a long way to go, though! I really need to work to get better at making voices, haha!

[Laasya Apria]

I demand a rewrite of the Decemberween Thnikkaman song.

this. this. thiiiis. THIIIS. this. THIS. THIS PLEASE.
xD

also, do you think anyone could do a rewrite of Vriska singing to John Katy Perry's ET?
I mean, there wouldn't be much to change, in fact you could probably keep it exactly the same... but I guess a rewrite could include more Homestuck-y stuff? @w@a

[mintt]

oh! I actually have already done a rewrite of E.T. for Rose and Kanaya! I don't know if it's helpful at all, but if you want, you can use mine as a starting point? haha, I don't know!

[Laika]

So I wrote more lyrics. This time they're for Doc Scratch.

The Green Room Host that can solve Riddles (Original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znir_s4Q9BA )

show spoiler

hide spoiler

The first mystery of this case is, why were all of the clocks in the mansion destroyed?
And do you know the one who was responsible for doing that?

The man silently listened to his host that was speaking to him
And the host continued to list things that the man was guilty for

At that point in time, the reason was simple
That the number eight was to die, but the man simply did not know that

So, who is the culprit?
You're the only one who knows the answer to that.
Because it's all because of someone standing in this very room
So, who is the culprit?
You don't even have to say it to me, I can answer that riddle for you
And then this world can end...

The second mystery of this case is, why are the remainder of the Felt members dead?
Surely you should know the answer, I know for sure that you had to do with it

Quietly reaching into his pocket, the man pulls out a knife that he had hid
The great host doesn't see it, and he continues talking on

Here's where we find the mistake, the single one in my plan
That the man had been a part of the crimes that had been committed

So, who is the culprit?
It falls to the ground, the man's last resort
The man proceeds to take from a bowl, tiny treats he treasures so
So who is the culprit?
All you have to do is look in a mirror, and you will find the answer to that
Come on, just say your name!

I should have you know that,
Things did not go quite as planned
You weren't supposed to kiss that girl,
You were supposed to kill her!

So, who is the culprit?
There are many who can be accused of this
But it has changed from several to, just the man that is you
So, who is the culprit?
If you're going to answer, better tell me now
Things are going to get out hand,
You're running out of time!

So, who is the culprit?
Set my place on fire, this confirms the case
You were the one who did all of this, and for that you're a big disgrace
So, who is the culprit?

You're the only one who knows the answer to that,
Because that person happens to be you,
Come on, just say your name!

[vociferocity]

notes: there are parts of this that are -- a little tricky, I guess? I might have a go at singing this just to explain how parts of it work haha;;

e: this (for once) isn't a song sung by a specific character! it's just a song dedicated to vriska haha

[callowCartographer]

BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL IMO

[vociferocity]

you are so lovely

[cupboy]

I've had this little bit in my head for like, so long. Doubt I could finish it. Takes place and goes through act 5, I guess.

Is this the troll game?
Or is he just trolling me?
Caught up in Act 5,
no escape from Andrew Hussie
Open the page,
look at the update and see.

I'M JUST A TROLL BOY (Troll Boy)
I NEED NO SYMPATHY

Other trolls: Because Al-

Hive-bent
What's to come?

ANY WAY THIS GAME GOES
DOESN'T MEAN A FUCK,

looks promising! I'm excited!
although may I suggest "DOESNT MEAN A FUCK" could maybe be "DOESNT MATTER WORTH SHIT" instead? Idunno, it sounds a bit odd to say 'it doesn't mean a fuck to me' ...to me >w>;

[newbonomicon]

Even if I heard Bohemian Rhapsody a hundred times, I'd probably just blindly accept any gibberish you pulled out of your ass as a parody of it if you said it was.

[mintt]

well! another day and another rewrite! hahaha

CROOK3D T33TH (Dead Cab cover)

[MetalKirby54]

Song of Breath Stupidity

Heir of Breath
Heir of Breath
Why you gotta be so dumb
Rose and Dave will die
If you try you will die

Heir of Breath
Heir of Breath
Why you gotta be so dumb
Immortality or not

Dunno why, but song of storms always reminded me of john...

[Laika]

Man, I need to stop writing lyrics! It's so addicting though. :T


So, because of my screwed up mind, I immediately thought of Vriska when I heard this song. Thus, I made a rewrite.

Last Frid8y Night

There's Kanaya in my 8ed
There's a pounding in my head
Faygo all over the room
Terezi's fainted in the pool
I smell like a human 8ar
Nepeta's passed out in the yard
Dave is on the 8ar8eque
There's a 8ucket or a 8ruise

Pics of John and I might end up online
Uh oh.
We're screwed.
Everything's a 8lur
8ut I'm preeeeeeeetty sure it ruled!
8ut damn,

Last Friday Night
We danced on Karkat's tabletops
Gamzee started smoking pot
Think they kissed, 8ut I forgot
Last Friday Night
We spray-painted the whole town
Saw the cops, so we stayed down
8ut this night surely had no 8ounds!
Last Friday Night
Went 8eat-8oxing in the park
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then Eridan just had to barf. >::::|
Last Friday Night
Rose says that we 8roke the law
Tavros says that we should stop-op
Whoa oh

This Friday Night
Do it aaaaaaaall again
This Friday Night
Do it aaaaaaaall again

Trying to connect the dots
Don't know what to tell the Doc
Think Equius 8roke Jade's car
Pyrope's chalk is on the floor
Ripped my f8vorite fairy dress
Almost got under arrest
Think I need a ginger ale
That was such an epic fail

Pics of John and I might end up online
Uh oh.
We're screwed.
Everything's a 8lur
8ut I'm preeeeeeeetty sure it ruled!

I might sing this on Monday. But my singing sucks, so beware.

I'm reeeeeeaaally unsure about posting these for some reason. I think it's the "Gamzee started smoking pot" line I'm still kinda unsure about, mehhhh.

[ScientificFlorist]

8luh this is so l8 and if it's 8een done then shoot me. I'll finish an in-progress song eventually.

Kissed my moir8l (And I liked it!!!!!!!!)

This wasn’t what we had in mind
From our p8le quadrant
I guess that when you punched me out
Knew what I wanted

It’s not what
I’m used to
Wanted to feel your mouth
Fussyf8ngs?
This new you
Caught my attention

Kissed my moir8l
And I liked it
Taste of her 8loody lipstick
Kissed my moir8l
Just to try it
Hope John-human don’t mind it
I feel so red
Her skin’s so bright
Don’t mean that I’m flushed tonight
Kissed my moir8l
And I liked it
I liked it

I know we’ve 8een 8est friends for sweeps
It doesn’t matter
I know a d8ime creature creeps
That’s just your nature

It’s not what
Moir8ls do
Not typical meddling
Quadrants get-
Ing abused
Hard, to expl8n

Kissed my moir8l
And I liked it
Taste of her 8loody lipstick
Kissed my moir8l
Just to try it
Hope John-human don’t mind it
I feel so red
Her skin’s so bright
Don’t mean that I’m flushed tonight
Kissed my moir8l
And I liked it
I liked it

R8n8ow drinkers so magical
White skin black lips so kissa8le
They punch and kick and saw so cool
Too hot to deny it
8n’t no 8ig deal she’s Skaia-seeeeeeeent.

Kissed my moir8l
And I liked it
Taste of her 8loody lipstick
Kissed my moir8l
Just to try it
Hope John-human don’t mind it
I feel so red
Her skin’s so bright
Don’t mean that I’m flushed tonight
Kissed my moir8l
And I liked it

I don't even know where to begin with that idea...
