Parodies - 3

Parody of "Lost the Sky Again" by the Newsboys (parody by Beldin)



like a flooder

guilty on all counts

rattling the server

with every ounce of clones he ever had

I was convicted



then i took the fludnet

and the server went down

but I must like it here

'cause I keep on the rebound'n

for a better link

and a free port

and a wining hangman letter



first claimed we had principles

the we dodged the kline

no we're sure to progess

we've mastered ping times



but I know, I know, I know....that....



every name we'll deop and change

as the old chan dies again

meetings pass, we're opping too fast

cause we Lost the Bot AGAIN



like an IRCop trying to kill clones

he /names, he /kline's

he's not sure if it's worth the /gline

and he wonders, "how long?"



when I first saw the notice

you were coming back

I lost my impatience

I confess I lost track

of what I was around here for

of the reason I got on here for



remember when it was any chat now

never dreamed you'd be gone

No we're shaking our heads

wondering how long?



but I know, I know, I know....that...



every name we'll deop and change

as the old chan dies again

meetings pass, we're opping too fast

cause we Lost the Bot AGAIN



I feel a silence from you channel bans

I've slapped a lamer on the wrong face

but it only makes me long for the day

when you're right back in your place



every name we'll deop and change

as the old chan dies again

meetings pass, we're opping too fast

cause we Lost the Bot AGAIN



Ad nauseam

Parody of "Down Under" by Steve Taylor (parody by Weird Alex)



Down Under

It's the land where you find beldin, down under

Down Under

IRC is where he's held in, down under



Beldin went from college to a taxi cab

On a fine December day

Didn't care to sit through classes that were drab

Now he chats all day



Down Under

He appears in his fine style, down under

Down Under

We have beldin's name on files, down under



Beldin told his brothers in the fellowship

Of the M.O.O.#.B

How to upset melvan with a little tip

Of saying HERM with glee!



Down Under

Drinks Coca-cola 'stead of water

Down Under

He seems like he's Lifey's father



Ain't no Yankee jive

Ain't no Commie plot

Beld don't lean left or right

He stands on solid rock

We hold this truth to be as dear to life as bread

And Beld would think better if maybe he would just go to bed...



Beldin looked around and saw that bots were nice

Organized a big bot parade

Someone told his HDD to crash that night

And how it obeyed!



Down Under

Say things wrong and he will mock you

Down Under



Down Under

His humour will likely shock you

Down Under

Parody of "I Want to Be a Clone" by Steve Taylor (parody by Weird Alex)



I'd gone through so much other stuff

That joining IRC was tough

But now I know it's not enough

I want to have a clone!

I installed Linux as a start

Got my host prog to do its part

And now I know deep in my heart

I want to have a clone!



Have a clone, and talk to myself all night

Cloneliness is next to godliness, right?

I'm grateful when the show the way

Cuz I don't really know the way

To do this on my own

I want to have a clone!



They told me my clone'd fall away

Unless I followed what they'd say

You need two servers anyway if

You want to have a clone!

Or else you might get a k-line

and then you wouldn't feel so fine

Oh, yes, it's in this heart of mine

I want to have a clone



Chorus

Send in the clones! "I wanna tell my friends and neighbours about this."

"What? You're still a babe, you have to grow, wait until you have about 10 clones or so.

Cuz if you wanna be cool like these, you gotta clone like one of us!"



So now I see the whole design

And open windows, eight or nine

My friends tell me I'm doing fine

At generating clones

I've learned enough to stay afloat

Have enough clones to fill a boat

I'm glad you /msg'ed that note

On how to have a clone!

Parody of "Escher's World" by Chagall Guevara (parody by `luthien with help from Weird Alex)



Through the world of IRC I fell

To the place where melvan plays

Now I know her friends so well

I don't ever want to leave them!



I woke up in melvan's world today

My server said it was okay



melvan, Beldin, and qaz are in,

Lifey brings you back again & again

eener, Elkvis, are you listenin'



Do you ever feel annoyed

By your lack of dates, my friend

Come to #bannerman for good

MOo#B or So#M will end that trend



We're walking in melvan's world again

Rise up you wutg minded men



mred, wonky, and kumquat, too

Monday nights can be quite a zoo

lucy1, PattyT, we ain't foolin'



Let the gfot wars have their day, yeah

The Hork Queen's on her way!



We're living in melvan's world it seems

We're always sinf-ing in our dreams



Bourgeois, Haxiem, etan too

Show up once in every while or two

Fadeaway, wowness, all these newbies



melvan, Beldin, & Qaz are in

eener, Elkvis, we ain't foolin'

#bannerman brings you back again and again

#bannerman brings you back again and again

#bannerman brings you back again and again

Parody of Starflyer 59's cover of "Sin For a Season" by Steve Taylor (parody by FadeAway)



A tribute to DPIACTT, if you couldn't tell



There's a shaky antenna in the hands of the hostess

Conjugated verbs, but she'll try to crol home if

she can make it past the lawn

She never liked the pink plastic ornament flamingoes

Sitting like an eye on the horizon of tomatoes

like a wobbling ... fawn



Now the cow's in the pasture, tractor's in the barn

She still sees the body of one Sneelock Harn



I'm only froolin', gotcha, only teasin'

Sinf for a reason



Well the lips say "toad spaghetti armadillo"

While the pen writes something 'bout "the billowing billows

In the billowing billows"

Gonna get my new rhyme, gonna send my lyrics in

Get the card trashed so you can type it up again

(maybe typed in stereo?)



But he sees a warning in the new FME:

"No man's gonna wave a big green thing at me"



I'm only froolin', gotcha, only teasin'

Sinf for a reason

Parody of "Piano Man" by Billy Joel (parody by Weird Alex)



It's eight pm on a monday night

The regular crowd shuffles in

There's a man, at a puter in front of me

Finding words that rhyme well with chin

I said, man, can you write me a parody

I'm not sure how to do one of those

Make it short, make it sweet

But please make it complete

Cuz I wanna sing one of those



La la la di di da

La la la la di di da da dum



Sing us a song, you on #bannerman!

Sing us a song, tonight!

For we're all in the mood for a parody!

And you got us feeling alright!



Now Beld, on the chan, he's a friend of me

He gets me my bots for free

He's slow to the chat, but quick with a clue bat

But there's someplace that he'd rather be...

He says, Qaz, I believe this is killing me

As the smile disappeared from his face

This chatting is fine that I do all the time,

But there's no Pepsi here in this place!



La la la di di da

La la la di di da da dum



(Chorus)



Now eener's a ticket saleswoman

Who's too busy with her job for a life

But she doesn't care cuz pretty soon

Darin's taking her to be his wife

And the Iowans raving like lunatics

While melvan, she generates clones

We all spend too much time here on IRC

But it's better than being alone!



(Chorus)



It's a pretty good crowd for a Monday night

And the chan ops all give me a smile

Though I know it's not me that they've come here to see

I think I'll just stay for a while

And the control-g's sound like a carnival

And elkvis, he smells like root beer

And the folks on the chan give each other a hand

And say man, sure is nice to be here!



La la la di di da

La la la di di da da dum...



(chorus)

Parody of "Real Good Thing" by the Newsboys (parody by FadeAway)



When we see something being waved,

it's a big green thing, a big green thing

When we don't see what's being waved,

it's a big green thing, a big green thing



Lost your tissues, now you find

You need some way to clear your mind



Trim your hairs and toss your hanky

Wave your thing at all things skanky

Keen idea, the only thing er's

You lose respect when you use your fingers



When we see something being waved,

it's a big green thing, a big green thing

When we don't see what's being waved,

it's a big green thing, a big green thing



Friends are looking -- don't be seen

Waving something ... big and green



Honk and peek or pick a winner

Best have other plans for dinner

If the others give you grief

Better park it here on my handkerchief



When we see something being waved ...



author's note: what can I say? I had a sinus infection when I wrote it...)

parody of "Cup O' Tea" by the Newsboys (parody by FadeAway)



Hi, my name is Fadey, I'm just a guy

Got on I-R-C, found #bannerman my first night

Who'd have guessed one day a girl of sixteen

Would reserve me for herself, the s-o-#m queen?



Now I'm betrothed to PattyT

But I don't mind, yeah said I don't mind

It's cool that she was thinkin' about me

So I unwind, yeah she's been so kind



Good things, people don't first recognize

(Mumbled somethin' 'bout redheads with big eyes)

I've been wondering what she sees in me

(who'd want to hang around with someone eating kimchee?)



Now I'm betrothed to PattyT

She's on my mind, yeah, said she's on my mind

The sisters-of-#melvania queen

Is on my mind, yeah she's on my mind



Well it surprised me when it happened

It came from way out of the blue

Read Lifey news:

"Face it boy, you've been betrothed to me"

"And it's forever

(Well, that's the way that it should be)

So watch your step

and don't you ever ever get nyastty"



Now I'm betrothed to PattyT

Why's she so kind? Tell me, I'm no Einstein

It's cool, but still I'm thinkin' a rea-

-son I must find, maybe she's just gone blind?



Now I'm betrothed to PattyT

But I don't mind, yeah I said I don't mind

It's cool that she was thinkin' about me

So I unwind, aww, hunney you're so kind

Parody of "The Logical Song" by Supertramp (parody by Weird Alex)



When I signed on, it seemed that chats were so wonderful, a miracle,

oh they were musical, magical

And all the nicks on the chan, well they'd be sinfing so happily, joyfully,

dizzily typing me

But then I went home to a world that's so sensible, logical,

responsible, practical

And I work in a world that makes me so dependable, clinical,

intellectual, cynical



There are times, when IRC's asleep,

The questions are too deep

For such a shallow man

Won't you please, please have me reassured,

No matter what I've heard,

There is a 'Net of Spam?



Now watch what you say, or they'll be calling you a radical, elliptical,

oh, quadratical squarical

Won't you write down your name, we'd like to think you're editable, eraseable,

oh grammatical-in-place-able!



At day, when IRC's asleep

The questions run too deep

For such a silly man

Won't you please, please have me reassured,

No matter what I've heard,

Spam tastes like Klik or Kam

Klik or Kam

Klik or Kam!

Klik or Kam!!!! (Spam whistle)

hamical

vegetable (1-2-V-8!)

clinical

pinnicle
