OT: Another parody song for the songbook! by Keily on 2011-05-14 05:35:00 UTC Reply

Hopefully it's better than my last attempts!

This one is called Good Fanfic, sung to the tune of 'Still Alive'. Oh, yeah. I went there. Portal~!

Lyrics:
This was a nightmare
Spelling mistakes and grammar fails
There're no words to describe my irritation

You need a beta
The characters are so O.O.C.
Here's a list of all the things
That really have to change

There're a hundred thousand twenty-four mistakes
Could you please use spellcheck for all of our sakes?
Research the characters some more
Then the people will adore
Something close to a good fanfic

Why are you angry?
I'm giving you some good concrit
I'm not trying to flame you or the story

I am not trolling
Or trying to pick a fight with you
You should try out my advice
Because I'm trying to help

There're no periods at the end of each line
If you think that's great, then you're out of your mind
Please be mindful of the plot
Folks'll be thanking you a lot
For writing a good fanfic

You can ignore me
Or block me from writing a review
There'll be no one left who wants to help you
The rest will be writing 'Update, update, update, update'
Pretty soon all you will get is a load of 'lulz'

If you want reviews you'll have to kick it up a notch
You will have to write like you are not drunk on scotch
Please don't ignore my advice, or people won't look twice
At something that is not good fanfic

So punctuate for a good fanfic
Use a spellcheck for a good fanfic
Let a beta correct your fanfic
A hundred reviews for your fanfic
Many favourites for your fanfic

Good fanfic?
Great fanfic!

Awesome!
You did indeed "go there". And I liked it! (nm) by Aeidhryn on 2011-05-15 23:13:00 UTC Reply

And I just fell in love with Portal, too! AWESOME! *posts cover as video response* My microphone is horrible, but I do my best. Now with harmony! :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BryFhnnbYO0

Thinking the same as Keily. It's very good! by Sergio Turbo on 2011-05-15 09:46:00 UTC Reply

If I ever get around to do a PPC game with RPGMaker (quite impossible, as I already abandoned three other projects), I want it at the endgame credits tune.
That is awesome! by Keily on 2011-05-14 22:22:00 UTC Reply

You have such a sweet voice! =D

Aw, thanks. *blush* (nm) by Jacer on 2011-05-14 22:30:00 UTC Reply

Incredibly catchy... by HerrWozzeck on 2011-05-14 21:37:00 UTC Reply

...

Wait, there's a songbook?

Why wasn't I told? I'm trying to get a completion of this cobbled together:

But yeah, this tune is catchy, and the words are just ingenious. Kudos to you.

Wonderful! :D by doctorlit on 2011-05-14 19:41:00 UTC Reply

Tackling Still Alive is no easy task, but I'd say you've done it!
Cool! by Neshomeh on 2011-05-14 18:48:00 UTC Reply

This is an awesome idea. In the spirit of concrit, I think the scansion could be better and the actual recording doesn't quite seem to know what the notes are (especially the first few--ow), but it's about 20-30 minutes of work from being the most kick-ass filk ever. {= D

How I didn't notice that? by Sergio Turbo on 2011-05-14 20:22:00 UTC Reply

But again, my friends say that I ignore notes too when singing, so...

However, again good job! That sure is a funny parody of an already funny song!

(And, for the ones who are wondering if they need glopsnerch, I gave up singing, so don't worry.)
Thanks. by Keily on 2011-05-14 19:10:00 UTC Reply

I know it could be better. XD I wish it could, but being as it was passed midnight when I made the final recording I just wanted to share. One day I'll get it right. Although it's a lot better than some of the past ones I've made. :3

Nice one! (nm) by Sergio Turbo on 2011-05-14 16:04:00 UTC Reply
Brilliant! by Fish Custard on 2011-05-14 09:56:00 UTC Reply

I'll probably have this in my head for the rest of the day now, and won't mind a bit (makes a change from 'Want You Gone' going round and round up there ^_^).

Ah, 'Want You Gone' by Keily on 2011-05-14 15:50:00 UTC Reply

I'll have to parody that one eventually as well. But for now, I'm happy with 'Good Fanfic'. I tried singing 'Want You Gone' and it was difficult.

Happy you enjoyed the song~!

Would this help? by Jacer on 2011-05-14 21:53:00 UTC Reply

He fan-arranges stuff. He's awesome.

You are amazing. by PitViperOfDoom on 2011-05-14 08:21:00 UTC Reply

I was singing this out loud and my parents were giving me funny looks. Good job!

This is a song that needs to be sung out loud... by Keily on 2011-05-14 15:49:00 UTC Reply

....no matter the funny looks you get. I wrote the lyrics at work, so people would look at me funny whenever I burst out into song to try out the lyrics. XD

Happy you like it~!
