After hiding and closing this thread for a longer time than necessary, so that RadarX was prompted to dub the TR forum orphans and to sing "It's a Hard Knock Life" from Annie, I bring you the Tabula Rasa Holiday Spoof-a-Long contest!

I also wish to point out that it's a good thing for Broadway and, indeed, the world that RadarX has a day job.

I haven't even done Les Miserable yet....

To kick things off I'd like to put up my own spoof.

A Patchday Holiday
Tune of: Chipmunks Christmas

Starring: CuppaJo, Critters, and Fire Lotus

Alright Ladies. Ready to sing your song?
I'll say we are!
Yeah!
Let's sing it now!
Okay, Critters?
Okay!
Okay, Fire Lotus?
Okay!
Okay CuppaJo?
CuppaJo? CuppaJo? CUPPAJO!
OKAY!


Patch day, patch day it is near!
Late night hours, and many tears!
We've been testing really hard,
To the point we're mentally scarred!
Squashing bugs is how we win,
(CuppaJo: ) Mires lag is fixed... again!
Your problem could take hours and hours,
we don't have magic powers!

Ok Ladies, get ready.
That was very good Critters.
Naturally!
Very good Fire Lotus.
He he he he
Uh CuppaJo, you were a little flat.
So watch it, CuppaJo...CuppaJo? CUPPAJO!
OKAY!

Squashing bugs is how we win,
(CuppaJo: )Rage change is still going in!
We know exactly how you feel,
Please can we have a meal?
We are aware you think we're noobs!
Please unchain us from our cubes!
We are aware you think we're noobs!
Please unchain us from our cubes!

Right, first post - let's see how this goes....

*ahem*

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

To the tune of 'Good King Wenceslas'

"Evil Bane killed our lookout
With a freakin' shotgun!
Chain gun made him dodge about
But it didn't stop him.
Had to keep him in my sights
Wasting ammunition.
As I took his kneecaps out
I had a premonition.

"Hey there, Sarge, you see this Bane,
Bleeding on the floor?
Really hope that he's in pain.
Think there's any more?"
"Soldier, in this Wilderness,
They're always underfoot.
Listen to this common sense:
Ready, aim and shoot!"

"Bringing death and bringing fire!
Bring the battle here!
You and I will see Bane die,
Then maybe grab a beer"
Sarge and Soldier forth they went,
Killing Bane together.
Through the risk of bombs and mines
And supressing fire.

"Sarge, it's getting darker now,
Think we're getting near
To the heart of Bane country?
Should I start to fear?"
"Mark the sentries, soldier boy,
Be you not afraid.
I think we've reached the Capture Point.
Now we'll start the raid!"

Back to back our heroes stood,
'Till the Base was captured.
Head to toe in foul Bane blood,
Looking round in rapture.
Logos powers show us how
To see alien vistas.
But hold to what's important now:
Merry freakin' Christmas!"

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Well, I tried as much as possible to stick to the parsing of the original song, although I must admit I didn't know the lyrics past the first verse myself until I looked them up!

In game, I'm Shooter (European Server).

Peace, y'all!

Stealing the tune to "O Come All Ye Faithful", entitled: Commando LFG!

Oh come all ye bios
Sappers and some rangers,
Oh come ye, oh come ye to Devil's Den

Come help me splatter
Lots of noisome fithik
O come let us explode them
O come let us explode them
O come let us explode them
I can share the quests!

Hi all,
first post, although I have followed this forum since TR was out there.
Here's my creation :

Original tune : Jingle Bells

Roaring Guns
#########

Dashing through the Plains,
Avoid becoming prey,
To Atta Hive we go
Laughing all the way
Guns with sweet roar sing
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and bring
Death to Bane tonight

Oh, load the guns, make the runs
Shoot them all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
With a full group all the day
Load the guns, make the runs
Shoot them all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
With a full group all the day

A day or two ago
To Plateau took a flight
Looking for the Logos
We got into a fight
Stalkers all around
Spies with blades at sight
CP was ours this round
But then the Bane got back

Oh, load the guns, make the runs
Shoot them all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
With a full group all the day
Load the guns, make the runs
Shoot them all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
With a full group all the day

A day or two ago,
The story goes on well
I've searched the Marshes for the Maw,
And all I got was hell;
The Mox were on my back
Bugging me all day,
Killed the leader of the pack,
And soon they went their away.

Oh, load the guns, make the runs
Shoot them all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
With a full group all the day
Load the guns, make the runs
Shoot them all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
With a full group all the day

If you liked my story
Come, join me on the field,
Enlist for fun and glory
and find your favourite guild;
I tell you now good-bye
Adventures await me still
Just keep an opened eye
And you will get the kill.

Oh, load the guns, make the runs
Shoot them all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
With a full group all the day
Load the guns, make the runs
Shoot them all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
With a full group all the day

We just posted our version here: http://www.rgtr.com/community/commun...christmas.html

‘Twas the Night before Christmas and all through the Plains
Not a creature was stirring, not even the Bane.

The socks were all hung by the tent pole with care
With hopes that our General soon would be there.

The soldiers were nestled asleep in their cots
Right next to their shotguns and sleeping Boo Bots.

Sara out guarding and I in sickbay,
were dreaming of Earth, our lost home, far away.

When out in the base, alarms started to shrill,
I grabbed my stout chaingun and ran up the hill.

From the Control Point, I saw a bright flash,
quickly took cover and hit the ground with a clash.

I looked out through my scope, blinked my eyes once again
And saw General British and his leet group of men.

“Now Wagner, now Kath now Potter and Sage
We need Hudson and Moore, call Bailey and Gage

To Ligo, to Mires, to Palisades and Pools,
Did they think they would win, they are nothing but fools!”

We rallied behind him, our General at Arms
and woke all the troops by sounding alarms.

With a roar our brave troops all charged into the fray
Resolved to defeat them, and carry the day.

The battle was long, but we weathered the test,
We showed them the courage of the AFS

Our foes all lay bleeding, defeated and dead
British came to our lines and here's what he said:

“Thank you for your honor and valor this night
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good fight!”
