  • YW Filk(songs)

    On Kli's suggestion from the injokes topics, I started this.

    I guess the first ones that should go in are the YW christmas carols:

    <LI>To the tune of Away in a Manger

    Deep down in the Ocean
    Near the Tooth of the Sea
    10 whales and a shark gath'd
    To save the sea.
    The Song of the 12
    was to be sung
    Near the bottom of the ocean
    In the presence of the Lone One

    S'reee, Ed and hNii't
    With the others in tow
    Swam down to the depths
    To give it a go
    Nita was nervous
    As, by the end of the day
    She'd be eaten by a shark
    And gone all away

    On the way down there
    The ran into some Squid
    Who fought them and
    Delayed the Celebrants a bit
    They finally got down there
    And began the Song
    with the Lone Power appearing
    And then it went wrong

    <LI>To the tune of 'O come all ye faithful'

    (sung by Dairine in HW)
    Oh come ye Lone Power!
    Fairest and Fallen,
    Greetings and as always defiance
    Come take your best shot
    Prove me wrong, cause I reckon
    that I can beat you

    (LP's Response)
    I come to defeat you,
    puny little wizard,
    no wizard has ever been
    able to beat me
    I will wi-in
    and then you will be sorry,
    then you will ne-ever bug me again.

    <LI>Hark! The YW Cast is Singing - written by Tui

    Hark! The bug-like Rirhait sing
    Neets and Ronan are kissing.
    Danger earth, Carmela's chatting
    Aliens may come attacking.
    Joyful all the wizards rise
    to the moon above the skies
    With the trees in Central Park
    Take the oath to fight the Dark
    Hark! Prophetic parrots sing
    Look at Sker'ret eat that swing.

    Ronan, by some girls adored
    Ronan, other times abhorred
    To New York behold him come;
    this coincidence is rum.
    Veiled in plastic see the Spear*
    That which even Balor feared
    The pen is mightier than the sword
    Just as well, since they're at war;
    Hark! Our Favourite Wizards sing;
    Kit and Nita are kissing.

    <LI>To the tune of Jingle Bells

    Running from Joanne,
    Neets feels faint and sore,
    Then sees the libr'y open
    and runs in through the door.
    Hiding 'mongst the books
    She decides to take a look
    She's snagged by one
    and then suddenly everything began!

    Chorus:
    Oh Wizardry wizardry wizardry is great!
    Jumping over oceans and back or running 'round in space, OH!
    *Oh! Young Wizards, Young Wizards,
    Young Wizards away,
    Fighting the Starsnuffer and trying to save the day, Hey!

    Neets goes exploring
    Down by the freeway
    There she finds Kit
    And with Fred they save the day
    They head off on Ordeal
    To find the bri-ight book
    Trying to get it 'fore the Lone One tries to take a look.

    [chorus]

    While at Tiana Beach,
    Kit and Nita swim at night,
    Rousing suspicious thoughts
    and giving Neets' parents a fright.
    They run into Hotshot
    Who leads them to S'reeee,
    They heal the whale and get back home
    after sharks they free.

    [chorus]

    The next day they go to meet
    S'reee again in the bay,
    After changing into whales
    they swim around for most of the day
    The TwelveSong must be sung
    And Nita volunteers
    To sing the Silent Lords part
    Without knowing t'was what she feared.

    [chorus]

    Ed the Master Shark,
    Swum round and round the whales
    Telling he would end
    Distress without a wail
    When the time came 'round for the song
    He saw that he was wrong
    'bout Timeheart
    and found that was where he belonged.

    [chorus]

    Dairine soon found the Oath
    And came to read it young
    Then headed into space
    Just for a bit of fun.
    Her ordeal was full of danger
    and help from various strangers
    She helped defeat the Lone Power
    who before Peach did cower

    [chorus]

    Neets' parents think that
    Their daughter needs a break
    From talking to the trees
    and working with Kit.
    They organise for her
    To visit the Emerald Isle
    Surprisingly to them
    This was not greeted with a smile

    [chorus]

    She headed off to Ireland
    and found herself on call
    and going sideways
    which wasn't allowed at all
    she sought out Ronan's help
    and then was suprised to find
    That her Aunt Annie
    was one of their kind

    [chorus]

    Dairine and Kit soon appeared
    To help find the Spear
    They sought a Power's help
    To reforge the powerful Spear
    Time came round for battle
    and many wizards came
    To fight for good and
    what used to be known as Ireland.

    <LI> WF's contribution
    Anyway, here's my YW carol:
    (It's the 12 days of Christmas, but I only got to 8: )

    On my eighth day of YW-dom fellow members gave to me:
    Eight claims of sanity
    Seven new foundations
    Six bananananas
    Five smiley wars!
    Four virtual muffins
    Three roleplay links
    Two Poot fanarts
    And a get away from Aurie free card!

    Ok. Thats all I can find and I've been reading page after page of the TOGR looking for them.

    Add other ones people!

    I am totally going to do a filk, because I was thinking about one earlier. It needs some work though and it's a little late so not right now, but I also had a question for you guys. It's a very stupid fandom question, so sue me, but it's relevant to the topic of filk (or I think so, anyway.)

    What songs remind you of YW characters? Any in particular? None?

    I have to say this fandom has a lot of songs that go with it for me- I'll be listening to the radio or something and they'll just come up, and I'll be all "Oh!" which is sort of fun.

    Hey Schoolgirl by Tom and Jerry (Simon and Garfunkel in another guise) reminds me of Kit and Nita and, who am I kidding, Nita/Kit a lot. lyrics here.

    Arithmetic by Brooke Fraser pretty much is exactly Dairine to my mind. I mean, Dairine in love, which is admittedly not a concept we're likely to see explored, but still. I don't know why. :P (You won't have heard this song, so the lyrics are here. I think you kind of need the tune though.

    And, heh, I think I've mentioned this before (god, I've probably mentioned this whole thing before and have forgotten it. But probably not many people remember, right?) but The Only Living Boy in New York by Simon and Garfunkel reminds me of Tom and Carl, probably only because the first line is Tom, get your plane right on time. lyrics.
    Go ahead! Panic! Do it now and avoid the June rush! Fear death by water!

      I'll admit to having been a sixteenth of a guest of honor at one filk convention, and involved in the running of at least one other, but I'd completely missed this thread. Can't say I've ever done any much writing of filk, though...

        alla: you do know that you have efectivly summorized the magority of the entire serise with these songs...
        You might want to do something with Carmela and underage chocolate pushing...

        oh dear, I'm going to be humming "Jingle Bells" all day now...

          I've got an idea for one. It's still to Jingle Bells. (Well, technically it's to Dashing Through the Snow...) Lessee...

          'Mela's got a hot curler
          That spits out lazer beams
          beating up the aliens
          and with choc'late she bargains

            alla:
            Anyway, here's my YW carol:
            (It's the 12 days of Christmas, but I only got to 8: )

            On my eighth day of YW-dom fellow members gave to me:
            Eight claims of sanity
            Seven new foundations
            Six bananananas
            Five smiley wars!
            Four virtual muffins
            Three roleplay links
            Two Poot fanarts
            And a get away from Aurie free card!
            I have another one to add... 9 brand new straightjackets. Just a suggestion.

            On the grounds of seeming foolish and non-rhyming/not matching the tune, I am not going to post a song about YW.

              I know that was part of the point. I keep meaning to go back and finish them, but working Christmases (Christmasses?) in retail really kills your want to hear the carols at any other time. I guess I could try and write something original... but I'm not that good at composing.

              Gwendi: The ones that are up there were written over a week or so (after a discussion on the Australian Christmas Carols somewhere in the depths of TOGR). Please, feel free to try and write your own. No-one here will laugh at you

                Not adding a song of my own (as I wasn't able to come up with anything though I wanted to) I'm instead just adding things that were originally missed.

                In TOGR when these songs first showed up there was another song:

                Talkingbeast's contribution:
                Joy to the world
                RoShaun has come
                Let Earth receive a king
                Let Dairine and her dad
                Prepare him room
                and Filif and Skeret sing
                and Filif and Skeret sing
                and Filif, and Filif and Skeret sing
                We will remember you PM. And your little GingerBear.

                  Ahhhh I remember reading those a LONG time ago!

                  *dies laughing*

                  I wish I was that gifted. If I ever come up with some, I'll come post them.

                    I haven't read these in ages...I really need to write a Christmas carol for YW someday... *happy sigh* These are awesome...

                    I like the "Joy To The World" one, it's great! And the "Hark! The YW Cast is Singing" one... These are amazing...

                        Whoa, these are really good. I love song parodies, but I've never done one for YW before. I'll have to try it. I love "Hark the YW cast sing". Alla, the song you chose for Tom and Carl does remind me of them, not sure why though. Actually, it sort of reminds me of a younger them, maybe in their 20s. Speaking of that, I wonder what they were like when they were younger.

                        -Existence is belief. I believe in magic, so it's real to me.

                          The Lone Power's theme.
                          To the tune of Jonathon's Coutan's Still Alive

                          For those who haven't had the pleasure of playing Portal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI



                          This was a triumph
                          I'm making a note here: ENTROPY
                          It's hard to overstate the fact I'm gloating
                          I'm the Lone Power
                          I do what I do
                          Because I must
                          For the good of Variance
                          To speed up the heatdeath

                          Here are Kit and Nita come to stand against me
                          Sent to face my darkness by the Powers that Be
                          They will greet and defy
                          And a loved one will die
                          But the winners will still be alive

                          I'm really quite angry
                          Although I lack sincerity
                          Even if you kill me once
                          Or three times.
                          Or trap me in Darryl.
                          Or stick me with Ronan's stupid spear.
                          As I fade I laugh because I will be right back again!

                          Now these puny wizards think that they can mock me
                          Think they're all hot stuff 'cause they're on errantry
                          Each time I get pwnd
                          And my schemes get postponed
                          They forget I live outside of Time

                          Go ahead and greet me
                          Call me Fairest and the Fell
                          Feed me lines of greeting and defiance
                          Maybe I'm reformed
                          Maybe I'm good. HAHA. FAT CHANCE.
                          By the time that happens you'll
                          All be dead.

                          Look at me still ranting
                          When there's wizards to kill
                          Though it's been enchanting, you've an Oath to fulfill
                          I've got plots to oversee
                          Start the Provocodictory
                          But only one of us will survive.
                          And it won't be you that survives
                          I'm Entropic and yet I'll survive
                          There's a bunch of me and we'll all survive
                          While you're dying I'll still be alive
                          You're stuck in time but I'm alive.
                          I'm alive.
                          I'm alive.



                          This was fun. X3

                          I would EAT THE HELL outta that steak, then try to guilt the cow into dying just for being a cow. I'd be all "NOM NOM HEY COW YOU'RE NOT MEAT YET WHAT GIVES JERK" and then I'd glare and give it the silent treatment. Same goes for pigs and chickens... I would guilt a FLOCK of chickens into poultrycide in a heartbeat. "HEY YOU'RE A CHICKEN HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT"- Madhatte
