Hmm. Also when you cast a new soprano (or alto) in an opera or musical, right?

Heh. I wrote this back in 2004, just for fun ... about Quest for Glory's EVILLEST villain. (Mwa-ha-ha!)

"Ad Avis Is Coming For Fun"
(parody of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town")

Put down that stake,
And garlic away!
And for goodness sake,
It is Christmas day!

Ad Avis is coming for fun!

He's making a list,
For groceries too,
He's buying the drinks
For me and for you.

Ad Avis is coming for fun!

I know that he's a vampire,
But don't you watch your back -
He's been off blood for many years,
So cut him a little slack!

So... Put down that stake,
And garlic away!
And for goodness sake,
It is Christmas day.

Ad Avis is coming for fun.

He doesn't scratch,
He doesn't bite.
He swore off blood -
He drinketh Bud Lite.

Ad Avis is coming for fun.

He has no fangs,
Won't sleep in the day.
He's no threat to us
So hip-hip-hooray.

Ad Avis is coming for fun.

No need for stakes and mallets;
Put those upon the shelf.
And cover up those mirrors -
He won't hypnotise himself!

Oh... put down that stake,
And garlic away!
And for goodness sake,
It is Christmas day.

Ad Avis is coming
Ad Avis is coming
Ad Avis is coming
For fun.

"D.n.D." (parody of AC/DC's "T.N.T."): A song extolling the awesomeness of Dungeons & Dragons!

I'd buy that in a heartbeat!

(Roll, Roll, Roll, Roll, Roll, Roll, Roll, Roll, Roll, etc)

See me get out my dice
Break out my character sheet
Ready for another fight
Gonna make the monsters scream
Goblins to the left of me
And gnolls to the right
Ain't got no spells
Only this long sword
Don't you start no fight

'Cause it's D.N.D. tonight
DND - and I'll win this fight
DND - Here comes a Natural 20
DND - better believe

I'm a half orc, fighter, and down right mean
I'm wanted in Ridgecrest
And I'm public enemy number one
With the thieves guild.
So lock up your gold
Lock up your treasure chest
Lock up your door
Because I am the best
When I come riding into town
You know $#!+'s about to go down

'Cause it's D.N.D. tonight
DND - and I'll win this fight
DND - Here comes a Natural 20
DND - better believe

DND - (Roll, Roll, Roll)
DND - (Roll, Roll, Roll)
DND - (Roll, Roll, Roll)
DND - (Roll, Roll, Roll)

DND - (Roll, Roll, Roll) - I'm ready to fight
DND - (Roll, Roll, Roll) - Got my +1 longsword in my fist
DND - (Roll, Roll, Roll) - And I'm on the wanted list
DND - (Roll, Roll, Roll) - Natural 20 here I come.

Pretty good. Made me laugh!

"Batman"
(parody of "Tax Man" by the Beatles)

1, 2, 3, 4
1, 2, Bat-time!

(Batmobile starts up)

I've got a cloak, I'll do a stunt,
And all the villains I will hunt,
Because I'm Batman!
Ye-e-eah I am Batman!

That Spiderguy might have that net,
And Superdude might fly (you bet!)
But I am Batman!
Ye-e-eah I am Batman!

Well now Gotham is where I roam around,
I'm so quiet - I don't make a sound
For my car, I'm paying by the pound
Over cars and shops, I'll jump and bound!

Batman!

(tense guitar music plays as Batman sneaks up behind the Joker, who amazingly completely fails to see him... get ready for a scene of indescribable violence. POW! ZAP! OOF! ZAPOW!)

Because I'm Batman!
Ye-e-eah I am Batman!

The cops don't chase the crooks in here (uh-oh, it's Chief Wi-ggum!)
They scarf the donuts and drink beer (uh-oh, getting fat!)
But I am Batman!
Ye-e-eah I am Batman!

And you know those villains must beware (Batman!)
It's lucky they don't work in pairs (Batman!)
You know I'm Batman!
Ye-e-eah I am Batman!

And I'm working for no one
but me (Batman!)

(music plays as the Bat signal is broadcast across Gotham City)

(music plays as the Batmobile's engine sputters and dies, and Batman tries to restart it)

(as the music ends, we hear Batman say...) Dammit! Start, you stupid piece of junk!

"Beautiful Hay" (Parody of U2's "Beautiful Day") - A song great for when you are bailing hay!

Sorry, don't know that song.

"All You Need is Salt" (parody of "All You Need is Love" by The Beatles). A great song for making food!

"Age of Aquariums" - Who doesn't like going to an aquarium?

Just a word of explanation... 'Corona' in this case refers to the Toyota model, as in 'Toyota Corona'. This was my first car, an old model from 1989. It had no power steering, so you needed big muscle just to turn the wheel. :p Anyway, this is a rather silly ode to my first car. Enjoy.

My Corona
(parody of "My Bologna" by 'Weird Al' Yankovic
and "My Sharona" by The Knack)

Oooh, my diesel-guzzlin' one,
Guzzlin' one,
I will fill you up 'cos you're my-i Corona!
Oooh, I'll pay and I'll be done,
I'll be done,
Then I'll drive away inside my-i Corona!

Chorus:
Some guy is a lout,
Should we bout?
Drizzly winter morn --
He's lookin' at a-me,
With a pout,
Honk him with my horn
In my-my-my-yi-yi wooo!
M-M-M-My-yi-yi wooo!
M-M-M-My Corona!

It's so hard to make a turn,
A right-hand turn
But I'll make it through with my, oh! Corona!
Cars behind me backin' up,
They're backin' up
Honkin' but they're jealous of my-i Corona!

Chorus:
Some guy is a lout,
Should we bout?
Drizzly winter morn --
He's lookin' at a-me,
With a pout,
Honk him with my horn
In my-my-my-yi-yi wooo!
M-M-M-My-yi-yi wooo!
M-M-M-My Corona, hey

Drivin' to the market now,
A-show me how
Parkin' is a nightmare because you're turnin'
See the people with their Ford,
The car they hoard
They don't really know just what they are spurnin'!

Chorus:
Some guy is a lout,
Should we bout?
Drizzly winter morn --
He's lookin' at a-me,
With a pout,
Honk him with my horn
In my-my-my-yi-yi wooo!
M-M-M-My-yi-yi wooo!
M-M-M-My Corona

M-M-M-My Corona
M-M-M-My Corona
M-M-M-My Corona!

At first I thought you meant a Toyota Corolla. but I guess they did make a Corona too. According to Wikipedia, they stopped selling them in the US in the late '70s which is probably why I never heard of them.

Yep. It's on wikipedia, too -- they've been making them since the 50s. My car looked a little bit like this:



It was a dependable car, too. It ran and ran for 25 years, with repairs. Of course, the Toyota Corolla is more common nowadays.

Pout - (parody of Shout by Tears for Fears)

When your just in a bad mood and feel like making everyone else miserable.

"Driller" (parody of "Thriller" by Michael Jackson). A song about a really bad dentist, who reaches for a drill even when he doesn't have to.

"Tweet It" (Parody of "Beat It" by Michael Jackson) Whenever you have a random, useless thought to share with the world, Just Tweet It!

I created a version on this, except mine was called "Heat It". It's for all the magic shop owners in QfG, to help them sell the "Flame Dart" spell!

This parody is simply my reflections on Hollywood's history movies and how badly researched they are.

"A Hollywood Film"
(parody of "My Favourite Things")

Knights that don't fight and a rosy-cheeked peasant,
Cutlery, bathing and everything pleasant,
Starlets supposedly hot as a kiln -
That's what it's like in a Hollywood film!

Films about history accurate aren't,
Character's motives are oh-so-transparent,
Clicheic characters, plot paper-thin -
That's what it's like in a Hollywood film!

When there's Holly-
woodish interest
In a hist'ry flick,
I wish that the film would be true to the facts -
If not, it'd make me sick!

Making a character act as he'd never,
Thinking that somehow that makes them so clever,
Putting a weapon outside its time frame -
Acting as if this is some kind of game!

When there's Holly-
woodish interest
In a hist'ry flick,
I wish that the film would be true to the facts -
If not, it'd make me sick!!

And ... now I've created a special production (just for the Sierra forums!) It's all about this guy and his special rock.

I wrote this one back in 2000 or so (just after QfG5 came out), but it always had problems with scansion and so on. So, I went back over this one and cleaned up all the problems. Please enjoy.

Oh, and uh ... the original song just gave me a funny mental image, too. If this was a real jailhouse, it'd go like this:

[music starts]

Elvis: Warden threw a party at the county jail--

Warden: Nope. *bops Elvis on the head with his stick and chucks him into solitary* Party cancelled! Back to yer cells!

Rakeesh's Rock
(parody of "Jailhouse Rock" by Elvis Presley)

That's a seat for Paladins, but sad to tell,
It's gettin' mighty old and it's begun to smell.
But still an' all, us balladeers - we all can sing,
About the time when Paladins sat on that thing -

Chorus:
That rock, everybody, that rock -
Everybody knows it's not in stock,
That's why it's called Rakeesh's Rock.

Last year there was an order to remove that thing,
But then Prince o' Shapier, he came on down with bling.
He said, "I knew Rakeesh when he was all alone -
So if you wanna judge him, haul away that stone!"

Chorus:
That rock, everybody, that rock -
It was made from just a limescale block,
And now it's called Rakeesh's Rock.

Well, everyone felt guilty and were mortified;
In fact, there was this one guy that he even cried.
He said "Oh, we should keep this rock as souvenir
of times when Paladins just sat 'round 'n drank beer--"

Chorus:
That rock, everybody, that rock -
And you cannot fry it in a wok,
It's not food -- just Rakeesh's Rock.

One fella - well he said, "We oughtta modernise.
Let's build a mighty school because that would be wise."
But everybody said, "Ah no, that's in the past,
and you're just a gosh-darned iconoclast--"

Chorus:
That rock, everybody, that rock -
Cannot keep it under key and lock,
It escapes a jail, Rakeesh's Rock.

So now the rock is stayin' there, despite the stench;
I'm guessin' that for Paladins, it's like a bench.
And sometimes it inspires troubadours like me
who've been writing since nineteen-ninety-three--

Chorus:
That rock, everybody, that rock -
It's-a one thing that you cannot mock,
No ridicule, Rakeesh's Rock.

Adulate Rakeesh's Rock,
Venerate Rakeesh's Rock, woo!
Celebrate Rakeesh's Rock,
Liberate Rakeesh's Rock!

It's a piece of stone and not a clock -
that's why it wouldn't go "tick tock"!
