C
More parodies from you sir?

Given past glories and you capacity for such fine follies. It is a boast of which I have little doubt.

:cool:
 
I will get it done, its just a case of what subject will it be?

Sledgehammer - Sidewinder
Rem - breaking my Immersion

or maybe I should throw one Star Citizens way...

I shall check my stock of backing tracks and see what pops up

I'd quite like to keep to the 80's for a few more songs!
 
Seeing as trading has been so important in the Beta here's something I've been working on. Apologies to Simon and Garfunkel for my rewrite of Keep the Customer Satisfied.




Gee but it's great to be back home,
Home is where I want to be
I've been out in space so long my friend
And if you came along
I know you couldn't disagree

It's the same old story
Everywhere I go, I get shot at, lasered
I hear words I never heard in the Thargoid
And I'm one jump ahead of my deadline
Two jumps away from a bounty fine
Just trying to keep my customers satisfied,
Satisfied

Fed Security said to me
Tell me what you come here for, boy
You better take your ship and flee
You're in trouble boy,
And now you're headed into more

It's the same old story
Everywhere I go, I get shot at, lasered
I hear words I never heard in the Thargoid
And I'm one jump ahead of my deadline
Two jumps away from a bounty fine
Just trying to keep my customers satisfied,
Satisfied

And it's the same old story
Everywhere I go, I get shot at, lasered
I hear words I never heard in the Thargoid
And I'm so tired
I'm oh so tired
But I'm trying to keep my customers satisfed
Satisfied

To the tune of "The Logical Song" by Supertramp

The Development Plan

When I was young, Elite IV seemed impossible
improbable, oh it was terrible, horrible
And all of the people I would see, "it is vapourware" they'd be telling me
apparently, just like Duke Nuke'em III
But then Kickstarter it came, it made Elite Dangerous seem possible
reachable, fundable, get-able
And Frontier showed me a world where I could be anything
tradeable, explorable, fightable

There are times when this is way too much for me
the game it plays too deep
For such a simple plan
Won't you please please tell me what's to come
I'm having so much fun
but please tell me what's the plan

Now watch how they play, it's all there on video
Youtube, or Twitch you know
Choose a good name, we'd like to see how your
ship can go, Yaw into roll, scoop cargo on the go

There are times when this is way too much for me
the game it plays too deep
For such a simple plan
Won't you please please tell me what's to come
I'm having so much fun
but please tell me what's the plan

Maybe I'm just crazy
Maybe I'm a fool
Maybe I don't know how to fly but
Maybe I do
Maybe you know more than me but
This much is true
This fighting heart of mine say
I'm Coming after you

And I wonder does it blow your mind
That I'm leaving Lave far behind
I wonder does it stop your heart to know
You're being hunted, for evermore

Your ship may be pretty
Your flying is a work of art
Your guns precisely always hit their mark
Okay your ship is pretty
Tagged with a bounty mark
But it's such a pity a ship so pretty
Tagged with a bounty mark

Maybe you'll get lucky
And you'll escape your fate
While I give all my gold away
I won't loose no sleep
Maybe on your travels
You'll think of me
But if you don't look out for me
You better had.

And I wonder does it blow your mind
That I'm leaving Lave far behind
I wonder does it stop your heart to know
You're being hunted, for evermore

Your ship may be pretty
Your flying is a work of art
Your guns precisely always hit their mark
Okay your ship is pretty
Tagged with a bounty mark
But it's such a pity a ship so pretty
Tagged with a bounty mark

Your ship may be pretty
Your flying is a work of art
Your guns precisely always hit their mark
Okay you're ship is pretty
Tagged with a bounty mark
But it's such a pity a ship so pretty
Tagged with a bounty mark

Your ship may be pretty
Your flying is a work of art
Your guns precisely always hit their mark
Okay your ship is pretty
Tagged with a bounty mark
But it's such a pity a ship so pretty
Tagged with a bounty mark

Your ship may be pretty
Your flying is a work of art
Your guns precisely always hit their mark
Okay your ship is pretty
Tagged with a bounty mark
But it's such a pity a ship so pretty

Bump

I have started a poll in General go measure the interest in having an Elite Song competition to celebrate the release.

Humbly requesting your votes and comments on the poll (partly to try to keep it on the first page :) )

Nine Lines

[Background idiotic sounding Commentator fading away…“I think it’s bad news for the Elite Game
We’re not Newtonian enough, we’re not fast enough, we’re not spinny enough”]

They’re going home. They’re going home. They’re going. Frontier’s going home.
They’re going home. They’re going home. They’re going. Frontier’s going home.
It’s coming home. It’s coming home It’s coming, Elite’s coming home.
Thank you Frontier. Thank you Frontier. Thank you for bringing Elite Home.

Everyone seems to want a war,
They’ve seen it all before.
They just know. They’re so sure.
The devs are gonna throw it away,
Gonna blow it away,
But I know they’re ok
Coz I remember

Nine lines on the Screen
Cobra Mk III floating
Thirty years of dreams
Never stopped me hoping

So many jokes so many fears
But all those Privateers
Wear you down
Through the years.
But I still put my faith in Frontier
Let’s all buy them a beer
Coz Elite Four is here!

[Special guest vocal Michael Brookes]
“And soon you will see.”

Four hundred billion
Stars in the sky gleaming
All that frustration
Can’t stop us believing

And we’re still here today, thanks to Ian and Dave.

It’s coming Home it’s coming Home, it’s coming, Elite’s coming home.
Thank you Frontier. Thank you Frontier. Thank you for Bringing Elite Home
[Repeat last line to fade]
{Backing : Nine lines on the screen, Cobra Mk III floating etc….}
 
I know it's been a while since we had a parody song ... But I thought I'd do one based on Sweden's Eurovision winning song.

Cargoes

Don't tell the Devs I sold for less
I can't make profit if there's none
Let's do this over

What if I'm the only trader left
Economy is all but done
And gone forever

He said go trade your rares
And make your credit like there will be no tomorrow
Don't tell the others

We'll empty all the Diso corn
The greatest profit ever earned

We are the traders of our time
But we're racing just sell what isn't mine

We are the traders of our time
Cargoes oh-oh whoa

But we're racing just sell what isn't mine
Cargoes oh-oh whoa

We are the traders of our time
Cargoes oh-oh whoa

But we're racing just sell what isn't mine
Cargoes oh-oh whoa

FA off might work for you
Don't make a move or make a sound
You're near the station

I make slaves into biowaste
No life support in my haste
In consideration

My wingman never left my side
When I was lost you were right behind
You were protection

We'll empty all the Diso corn
The greatest profit ever earned
Now trade together

We are the traders of our time
Cargoes oh-oh whoa

But we're racing just sell what isn't mine
Cargoes oh-oh whoa

We are the traders

(You keep trading with the pirates)
(for the cargo)

We'll empty all the Diso corn
The greatest profit ever earned
Now trade together

We are the traders of our time
Cargoes oh-oh whoa

But we're racing just sell what isn't mine
Cargoes oh-oh whoa

We are the traders of our time
Cargoes oh-oh whoa

But we're racing just sell what isn't mine
Cargoes oh-oh whoa

We are the traders

No-one would have believed in the last years of the twentieth century
That gaming affairs were being changed from the timeless town of Cambridge
Two men who had dreamed that we would be stupefied
as someone with three lives studies a map of a procedurally generated galaxy
Few men even considered the possibility of landing on other planets
And yet, across the gulf of 22 kilobytes, minds immeasurably superior to ours
Regard the BBC Micro with envious eyes
And slowly, and surely, they drew their wire-frame graphics.

Siphon the Purple Python
Had a very miner role
Went out to find Void Opals
100 limpets in the hold
All of the other miners
Used to hassle him in flight
They'd try to steal his fragments
And taunt him with serendibite
Flying through an icy ring, pulse wave scanner pinged
One asteroid brightly glowed, Yay I've hit the motherlode!
Then all the miners loved him
'Cause he paid for all their drinks
They'll all forget tomorrow
And go back to saying Siphon stinks.
... Back to saying Si-i-i-pho-o-o-n Sti-i-i-i-inks!
