Lyric Brainstorm

[Miles Dei]

Alright, Fishbarrel has challenged me to sing a Duchy recruitment song based on Tom Jones' funky hit "Help Yourself".

Those of you who are good with words, please feel free to contribute. You can LISTEN TO THE TRACK HERE.

All i ask, is that it rhyme the same way the original does, and has the same syllabic count! I would love to have it be a praise song for the Duke much like the pyong-yang propaganda. Dukes huge member, 6 holes in one, can fly, that kind of ridiculousness. I would also love to see something that mentions some gaming terms, and how we'll pwn j00.

Here are the lyrics:

Love is like candy on a shelf
You want to taste and help yourself
The sweetest things are there for you
Help yourself, take a few
Thats what I want you to do.

Were always told repeatedly
The very best in life is free
And if you want to prove its true
Baby Im telling you
This is what you should do
Just help yourself to my lips
To my arms just say the word, and they are yours
Just help yourself to the love,
In my heart your smile has opened up the door
The greatest wealth that exists in the world,
Could never buy what I can give
Just help yourself to my lips
To my arms, and then lets really start to live

Allllllllll right. yeah

My heart has love enough for two
More than enough for me and you
Im rich with love, a millionaire
Ive so much, its unfair
Why dont you take a share
Just help yourself to my lips
To my arms just say the word, and they are yours
Just help yourself to the love,
In my heart your smile has opened up the door
The greatest wealth that exists in the world
Could never buy what I can give
So help yourself to my lips, to my arms
And then lets really start to live
Just help yourself to my lips
To my arms just say the word, and they are yours

[Angeleon Askaroth]

ugh, yeah, here's a stupid attempt for the first part...

Gonna tell a story for you now,
about the man to whom you'll bow
Better watch your ass for he'll pwn y00
Save yourself, join him now
That's the only thing to do

I don't know, I figure it would be a way to introduce the listener...
...someone needs come up with something better or we are screwed. =P

[Surly von Fishbarrel]

I'll tell a story for you now,
about the man to whom you'll bow

Like that part, the rest is kind of corny. If you're going to be corny, you have to be over the top corny!

I'll tell a story to you now,
about the man to whom you'll bow
he's not the worst, no he's the best
listen now, be my guest
i've got to get this off my chest!

they'll try to call him super-man
he'll kick your ass just 'cause he can
so listen up, and listen well
you'll find he's really swell
he'll save you from your hell

Just give right in to His Grace,
to his law, and to his words so you can see
Just pledge your life to His Grace,
and with that plege Duke Wessex can set you freeeeee!
The greatest guild that exists in the world,
we cannot fail, you can't resist
You can't oppose, for you see
he solves all his problems with an iron fist

Allllll right. Yeah!

But we have room enough for you!
Enough to house a friend or two!
We've got the best community
it's true, they're full of glee
there's even some RP!

Just give right in to His Grace,
to his law, and his words so you can see,
Just pledge your life to His Grace,
and with that plege we'll make a world for you and me!
The greatest guild that there ever was,
we can't fail, so you'll see
We'll win the day, get the girl
and we'll celebrate with drunken revelry

[Guiscard]

Just curious, how about using the music of Unser Rommel or Graf Zeppelin for a recruitment song?

[Erwin Carius]

On the subject of songs about games, here's a nice example of a successful one:

I listen to it all the time.

[Miles Dei]

Fish, you're on the right track! The timing is just about right, too. But we need some more variations before I hit the studio with this. We can mention different endeavors too, like GTA, DF etc.

[Surly von Fishbarrel]

i'm not a song writer, do it yourself

ignore the ...|...s, i just used them to mark syllables that are emphasized so i could write it easier

well, there, it's done. goddamn, i rhymed "ee" sounds a hell of a lot lol. alter it however you want, i'm spent. that shit ain't as easy as i thought. i put optional lines in parintheses.

[Nira Nathair]

I tried. I failed.

Here's the beginning of a verse I tried:

Allllllllll right. yeah

Whether the moon be red or blue
Run in fear for we will pwn joo
