KDD5 - Mindblast (closed)

[Beowuuf]

In times passed the Kai used the awesome powers of their mindforce to reduce their opponent to a nervous, distracted wreck - a shell of who they once were. A well placed Rick-roll has taken the place of this in our present times.


Show the analogue of music and Mindblast by creating a re-wording of a popular song that would leave one of Lone Wolf's most famous opponents a quivering heap from its insulting nature. Post your entry below below, and free to post the original lyrics or link to the original song if you wish.


All submissions will be voted on at the start of the second round of the KDD5.

Hurry, get those insulting melodies in now!

Edit: And closed!

Vassagonia idiot (American idiot - Green day)

Don’t wanna be a Vassagonia idiot
Don’t wanna be a pawn of the darklands
And to look like sand bitten Zakhan
With useless warrior sharnazim

They eat all spicy camel meat
And bake to death in the sunny heat
They don’t even look cool in black
There cities smell just like a sewer
And they dream of flying a Itikar
All over the dry main

Your language well it ain’t all that
Went out and learnt it 25 days flat
And your writing it goes the wrong way
Can’t make out what you are trying to say

They eat all spicy camel meat
And bake to death in the sunny heat
They don’t even look cool in black
There cities smell just like a sewer
And they dream of flying a Itikar
All over the dry main

Tried to hide my great book in a tomb
But I made you’re greatest ally go boom
Didn’t even have to use the sun
Merely my sword, the golden one

They eat all spicy camel meat
And bake to death in the sunny heat
They don’t even look cool in black
There cities smell just like a sewer
And they dream of flying a Itikar
All over the dry main

[Beowuuf]

Nice first entry! That's setting the bar pretty high!

Your language well it ain’t all that
Went out and learnt it 25 days flat
And your writing it goes the wrong way
Can’t make out what you are trying to say

;D

Come on people, get those creative juices flowing and pour them in to the container that is this thread! And you could win the juice..making..contest. Sorry, that metaphor kinda got away form me....

Limbdeath - Alyss Cooper (Poison - Alice Cooper. Original lyrics here, song here.)

My arm's gone dead
What next? My head?
One herb can cure
But I'm too poor

I wanna buy you but my wallet's too light
I wanna steal you but my Disciplines are too weak
I wanna eat you but I'm having to fight
I wanna find you but I'm stuck in the Baga-

-Darooz
Sewage is all that I can see
Darooz
Wading through Vassagonian pee

This sewer, so dank
My sweat, so rank
Sharnazim behind
Limbdeath's unkind

I feel it spreading from shoulder to hand
I find a manhole but the crowd reels away from my stink
My new B.O. is more than any can stand
I'm in the street but it might as well be Baga-

-Darooz
Sewage dripping from my hair
Darooz
I pollute all fresh air
Darooz

(sitar solo)

One whiff, could kill
Make way! I'm ill!

I had to find you 'cause of unlucky blows
I had to steal you 'cause I blew my Crowns on Laumspur
But now I've got you I'm not letting you go
You're gonna heal me, shiny little gold medicine

Oede
This oede's flowing in my veins
You're oede
It stopped me going lame
Oede

I wanna eat you but I'm healed already
I wanna keep you but my Action Chart's getting full
I'm gonna hide you at the monastery
I'll hide you well but Banedon might find you

Oede
I don't wanna waste these leaves
Oede, oh yeah
I could eat this stuff in sheaves
Pile it right up to the eaves
It's oede
I can feel my arm again
Oede





Forgive me...

[Beowuuf]

For invoking Alice Cooper all is forgiven, even the stretch of limbdeath as an enemy ;D

Again with the bad guys posting good entries first! Will the forces of light marshal their combined talents to beat this menace, or will they just cheat with the voting at the end like Adama and Roslin in BSG? I can't wait to see!

I'd like to see you argue that it's a friend.

Heh, it was just the only song I could bring to mind and nothing else fitted it but limbdeath

[Doomy]

A slight stretch of the theme, being a song about the Lone Wolf books -and their long struggle towards publication - rather than the character. Hopefully Wuffy won't disallow it. Publishers and market forces are the biggest enemies of all.

Based on A Design For Life by Manic Street Preachers.

Our Gamebooks For Life

Libraries gave us Lone Wolf
Then Aon came and made it free
Mongoose now mean to release near thirty-three

I know it's been a battle
To get them in my own bookcase, too many years
To play through all of them

We're all fans of Lone Wolf, we only want to own them
And we are all waiting to spend
So we can find out what's at the end

Our gamebooks for life
Our gamebooks for life
Our gamebooks for life
Our gamebooks for life

I know it's been a battle
To get them in my own bookcase, too many years
To play through all of them

We're all fans of Lone Wolf, we only want to own them
And we are all waiting to spend
So we can find out what's at the end

Our gamebooks for life
Our gamebooks for life
Our gamebooks for life
Our gamebooks for life

We're all fans of Lone Wolf, we only want to own them
And we are all waiting to spend
So we can find out what's at the end

Our gamebooks for life
Our gamebooks for life
Our gamebooks for life
Our gamebooks for life

[Beowuuf]

I like the original song, and laughed at your twisted logic and new words. And more importantly it's a blow against the forces of evil - allowed! ;D



I guess since we have three, I'll post my own one too:


The Future Soon (original by Jonathan Coulton, lyrics/song here)

Last week I left a patch of burning ground
It said "We hate you, signed the Darklords and friends"
Turns out they're smarter than we thought they were
I know they're here, and so now Sommerlund must too
And I'm all alone in the countryside
When some Giaks rush by with some wolves under them
But I know that I'll forget the look of hate upon their face
When I'm living in my monastery with their heads on a plate

Cause it's gonna be the future soon
And I won't always be this way
When the things that make me weak, young aged, get Disciplined away
It's gonna be the future soon
Sixth Sense makes it all so clear
And when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and it's already here

It'll probably be some kind of covert op
Sneaking a weapon into their Black City in black
I'll end their power, I'll make each Darkord squeak
Walk through the nighttime, spend my endurance and skills
Perfecting my stealthy infiltration
Killing them one distorted face at a time
I will do my best to teach them
About life and what it's worth
I just hope that I can keep them from the land of my birth

Cause it's gonna be the future soon
And they won't always be this way
When the powers that make them big and strong get Sommerswerded away
It's gonna be the future soon
I've never felt it quite so near
And when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and it's already ...

Here in Helgedad they'll wonder
As I've piece by piece improved myself
And all those lorestones will make me whole
But I'll still feel so alone
Until my mission's end calls me home

I'll see Gnaag standing by his big black throne
He'll look the same with those big flylike eyes
He just lost Taktaal to my viciousness
I'll say "I'm sorry", he'll say, "It's not your fault-
"Or is it?"
And he eyes me suspiciously
Seeing the shine of the sword by my side
He will scream and try to run
But there's nowhere he can hide
When a crazy Kai Grand Master sets his eye on the prize

Cause it's gonna be the future soon
Things won't always be this way
When those that made us weak, besieged, get blown the heck away
It's gonna be the future soon
Section 350 makes it clear
And now my heart stops breaking cause I can close my eyes it's all finally here

[Beowuuf]

It's the Final Countdown, It Only Takes A Minute Girl, One Nightin Heaven...

Umm, I kinda lost the idea of that sentence as soon as it started. Who managed to turn song lyrics to better use than me in an effort to blast the mind of a foe? Find out soon!

[Beowuuf]

And the voting has closed, just as the contest did before it.

And as you can all see, one or two votes aside, the clear winner of this contest was deservedly Swiftstrike! I mean, those Vassgonians sure are dumb, why did no one point it out before ;D

Well done!


That puts the contest results as follows:


1st place:
Swiftstrike - 8 points

Joint 2nd place:
Beowuuf - 6 points (booo)
Doomy - 6 points (yah!)

3rd place:
Samildanach Emrys - 4 points
