[vociferocity]

hahaha ok so I come bearing four new terrible lyric rewrites! none of them are really finished, because I have this thing where once I get about ten minutes away from the end of something I just walk away from it, but wwhatevver.

like always, feel free to edit anything in these! any lines that have been bolded are lines I'm particularly unhappy with/original song lines that need to be changed

VRISKA:
Last night I had enough of you, I put on the 8rakes
And I could tell you took it hard, it was all over your face
That you were slipping and flipping, 8ut here is the sitch
I signed up for a troll, 8ut you are just a 8itch

you should know that I hate you a lot
8ut I can't 8e 8lack with a wuss like you
when we first teamed up, we got all the loot
and the way you fought was well, kinda cute
8ut you cry a8out this and whine a8out that
if you grow a pair, I might take you 8ack
yeah i think you're hot and annoying as fuck
8ut this isn't romance, i just think you suck
we were 8lack, and now we're not, just like that
if you grow a pair, I might take you 8ack

when I first met you (flarped for hours)
everytime I saw you (it was on and)
one day you asked if we could just talk
and thats the reason why i'm walking
if i am honest i'm just not hooked on your phonics
i'm not trying to 8e rude or crude
i just wanted one thing from you
and you got confused

you should know that I hate you a lot
8ut I can't 8e 8lack with a wuss like you
when we first teamed up, we got all the loot
and the way you fought was well, kinda cute
8ut you cry a8out this and whine a8out that
if you grow a pair, I might take you 8ack
yeah i think you're hot and annoying as fuck
8ut this isn't romance, i just think you suck
we were 8lack, and now we're not, just like that
if you grow a pair, I might take you 8ack

if you grow a pair, I might take you 8ack
if you grow a pair, I might take you 8ack
grow a pair, I might take you 8ack
if you grow a pair, I might take you 8ack
oh grow a pair, I might take you 8ack
and no, i don't want to get on your wandpile
if you grow a pair, I might take you 8ack

when we first teamed up, we got all the loot
and the way you fought was well, kinda cute
8ut you cry a8out this and whine a8out that

TEREZI:
all those nights, flarping and killing
all those sweeps, outside looking in
all that time, never even knowing
just how blind I've been
now I'm here, smelling her victims,
now I'm here, suddenly I see
standing here, it's all so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be

and at last I see the light
and it's like the fog has lifted
and at last I see the light
and it's like the sky is new
and it's dark and cruel and bright
and the world has somehow shifted

all at once, everything smells different
now that I hate you

VRISKA:
all those nights, hunting for my lusus
all those sweeps, living in a blur
all that time, never truly seeing
things the way they were
now she's here, hunting me down
now she's here, suddenly I know
if she's here, it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go

TOGETHER:
and at last I see the light

VRISKA:
although you don't, because I blinded you

TOGETHER:
and at last I see the light

TEREZI:
and I will bring you to justice

TOGETHER:
and it's dark and cruel and bright
and the world has somehow shifted
all at once everything is different
now that I hate you

Okay, this is a weird thing, but it's the only thing I've been able to write. Based on this dream I had.

Ugh, it's not even that good. Italics stuff is spoken, btw.

Ugh, that was lame. Why is my writer's block so freaking subjective? And why is my only microphone the one built into this laptop, which really sucks, so I can't join in singing the awesome songs that others post? By the way, that plagues cover is pretty much the best. I'll try to write something not lame later!

[perfectlyFatal]

Anyone need a Rose, Kanaya, Aradia or Nepeta for any songs? Im bored :U

EDIT: Im so recording stuff for the Everything you ever Rewrite.

[ScientificFlorist]

Always looking for a Kanaya for this weird "Marisa Stole the Precious Thing" cover.

Other than that, I don't have much other than their parts of the song I just posted and Aradia and Rose's part of Weird Time Shit (Cover of The Time Warp).

I'll voice who ever i can for it (Basically any of the female trolls)

[ScientificFlorist]

Meh, I'd say just decrease the amount of t1cks, t0cks, honks, and/or HONKs if that makes it easier. The original song is probably impossible to sing as is, and I tried to make it a bit easier, but just do what's physically possible, you know? Also, thanks for doing my silly covers!

I freaking LOVE this thread.

[KidKourage]

Oh my gosh everything in this thread is made of win. I was pointed here last night after doing up a lil' rewrite of Eddie Morton's "I'm a Member of the Midnight Crew" in honor of the recent music update (though I knew of the song long before that) and posting it in the discussion thread. It's under the cut and it's also in my sig, haha.

Completed Lyrics "I'm a Member of the Midnight Crew" (MSPA Style)

hide spoiler

I hate a goddamn pansy, one who lacks a killer's spark
I just detest a man afraid to murder in the dark
I always spend my evenings with my knives both short and long
And like a man, I always bring my deck of cards along!

I'm a member of the Midnight Crew
I'm a criminal--a sharp one, too
Out after three in the morning
Doin' whatever's wrong
You mess with me, and you won't see the sun
I'll show you my stabs, and your red blood will run
Got a wife? No trouble. I will prob'ly kill her too!
'Cause I'm a member of the Midnight Crew!

The swindling never stopped at our casino down the way
'Til some green morons showed up and blew the whole place away
Now plans and schemes we've hatched so they won't ever catch their breaths
We'll storm the English mansion and deal them some grisly deaths!

I'm a member of the Midnight Crew
I hate time travel, and all clocks, too
Who cares if it's three in the morning?
My bloodlust is always strong!
You mess with me, and you won't see the sun
Whether by knifeblade, horse hitcher, or gun
Fuck you, Felt, and Snowman? You huge bitch, you'll get yours too!
At the hands of the members of the Midnight Crew!

I wish I could forget the night I lost my arm and eye
And got sealed in a vault with just that damn troll kid to spy
But mark my words--I'll be back and I'll make everyone pay!
Remember what they say 'bout every dog having his day!

I'm a member of the Midnight Crew
Cloaked in shadow--got damn fine hats, too
We're out at three in the morning
Doin' whatever's wrong
You mess with us, and you won't see the sun
When you hear our names, peons, you better run
Spades and Diamonds, Hearts and Clubs--cross us and you'll be through!
'Cause we're the members of the Midnight Crew!

I've had the dang thing stuck in my head since I wrote it and I'm thinking of recording it if I can get my hands on a microphone, but I am a lady with a very obviously ladyish voice so I don't know how appropriate it will sound. XD; Buuut I will just leave the lyrics here anyway and also continue to enjoy everyone else's awesome work!

[perfectlyFatal]

Thii2 ii2 stupiid.

I obviously need to work on it X'D
I just cut out the tangle buddies part at the end for laziness X'D


I apologise for the horrible-ness

[Quirk]

That song is amazing. I shall put my manly voice to work recording it.

So I sort of rewrote The Plauges from Prince of Egypt for Vriska, Terezi, Dave, and John.
Lyrics:

Terezi and Vriska: (chanting quietly) Thus saith the troll
Thus saith the troll
Thus saith the troll
Thus saith the troll (repeats)
Terezi: Since you refuse to see my morals.
Vriska: Since you refuse to see my quarrels.

Terezi and Vriska: All though this empty meteor...
I send catastrophe and doom
Into your head, into your hive.

Terezi: Upon your face!
Vriska: Upon your friends!
Terezi: Upon your arm!
Vriska: Upon your eyes!

Terezi and Vriska: Upon your quadrants!
Upon your dreams!
Upon your irons in the flame!
Upon the human
on your screen!
Until I tear
apart this game!

I send my scourge, I send my toll!
Thus saith the troll!

John: Once, I called you brother.
Once, I thought the chance to make you laugh
Was all I ever wanted.

Vriska: I send a skylark of the wind!
I send a storm upon the air!

John: And even now I wish that Vriska chose another.
Serving as your foe on her behalf
Is that last thing that I wanted.

Terezi: I send a coolkid and a knight!
And through all time, I send my snare!

John: You were my bro!
All this clash and competition isn't how we're meant to be.
Now we're rivals with ambition, and you're trying to beat me.

Terezi and Vriska: I send my human prodigy,
I made him strong, I made him sound!
I made his fate, I made him great!
I built him up to take you down!

I send my scourge, I send my toll,
Thus saith the troll!

John: You who I called brother,
Why must they call down another blow?

Terezi and Vriska: I send my scourge, I send my toll!

John: I can't be your bro!

Terezi and Vriska: Thus saith the troll!

John, Terezi, and Vriska: Thus saith the troll!

Dave: You who I called brother,
Do you know how powerful you grow?
Is this what you wanted?

Terezi and Vriska: I send my scourge, I send my toll!

Dave: Then I'll work even harder,
And nevermind how time around me flows.
This will still be so.
Come on man, I cannot be your bro.

Terezi and Vriska: Thus saith the troll!

John: Thus saith the troll!

Dave: From now on

Dave, John, Terezi, and Vriska: I can't be your bro!

Original song here.

*sidles off*

...DID SOMEONE JUST SING MY TOUHOUxHOMESTUCK CROSSOVER?

This forum has all of my love. All of it.

[Quirk]

I warn you in advance, I have crappy laptop mic, poor editing skills, the SS voice was a killer, and I didn't have the brains to sing in sync to the song, but for a first shot at this sort of thing I think it's...passable.

[BassicGuy]

This was fun to sing.

[Doodled]

This was fun to sing.

I now love you forever now...

Wait, it's called the "Wrinklerfucker?"

*realizes that it was an unimportant mistake*

Ah, never mind.

I will record this as soon as I have the time. I haven't been able to get over the original Midnight Crew song since I discovered it a few months ago and this is pretty wonderful.

Oh, sorry doodled. I fixed it.

Also that song looks amazing KidKourage. I am going to sing it, hopefully, by today.

A few of the lines aren't matching up with the original, but otherwise it's good.
