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 ^_^).
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!
Great song!
I really like this! You did very well with it. :] And I was humming it too. XD
Awesome!
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
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.
You have such a sweet voice! =D
...
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.
Tackling Still Alive is no easy task, but I'd say you've done it!
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

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.)
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
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 ^_^).
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~!

He fan-arranges stuff. He's awesome.
I was singing this out loud and my parents were giving me funny looks. Good job!
....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~!
