Community Event / Creation Elite Parody Songs

At work, so I don't know the actual tune. Sorry. I will have a listen later. Sorry.
Sorry.
Did I say I was sorry?

ETA - I assume it's not The Kinks "In the Summertime" as a tune?
Not The Kinks.
I'm a bit unclear on whether or not you are sorry :p

It's good. Really good.

Here's one from me, to the tune of a song released every Christmas since about 1973.

Are you picking up your joystick from the floor?
It’s the time that all commanders have a ball
Will you fly a new sidewinder
And then try to dock and pray
You’ll get the spin just right todayyyy

So here it is Elite Dangerous
Everybody’s having fun
Set in the future now
But only just begun

Are you waiting for your Cobra to arrive
With its cargo tucked all safely up inside?
Do the old ones always tell you
The beeb one was the best
When they’re up and shooting pirates with the rest.

So here it is Elite Dangerous
Everybody’s having fun
Set in the future now
But only just begun

(shortest middle eight ever coming up)

What are you gonna do
When you see griefers come for you..oohoohooo….

Have you got your Mobius poster on the wall?
Are you heading for the pilots’ old mess hall?
Will you fly on into Diso
Yelling “that’s not Newtonian”
But then grin and feel just like a kid again?

So here it is Elite Dangerous
Everybody’s having fun
Set in the future now
But only just begun

So here it is Elite Dangerous
Everybody’s having fun
Set in the future now
But only just begun

Each time i see the latest one I think "he really can't top that" and then you do.

Top work there, even though you could have put a NSFW warning for the closeups. :eek:

Love it. :D
 
NSFW wouldn't that require that you NTFW first? ;)


Thanks I have been approached by my wife who ask's if I'd consider using my powers for good and something other than Elite...

STAR CITIZEN here I come... anyone got a rhyme for Roberts?

Im kidding... who know's what will pop out of my mind tomorrow..

I have the seed of an idea for a parody of this song ...
http://youtu.be/zGbNbn8tB5k

Sung from Cmdr Blackley's point of view ...

"I'm only a man with a Corba to fly in
I'm hacking the game to see what's inside it
Anna-conda, Anna-conda
I'm flying Anna-conda
Anna-conda, Anna-conda
will this go on much longer?"

is the chorus I have so far.

If Cmdr Blackley doesn't want me to do this parody, or wants me to change lyrics or wants to approve it before I publish it, he can PM me in 100% confidentiality.

What do the rest of you think? Do you want me to do this one?
 
One for the Beta players ;)

It must have been cold in Alphas shadow
to never have played an elite build
you were content to let them play
Beta was only a month away

So alpha had all of the glory
The very first one amazing
There was no bugs to its name
And beautiful screenshots of the game


And you really know that your in Beta
you've spent hours crying out
your forum post are full of hatred
Cause you were whinging in the wings


You might have let the first month slide
But when January came and went
The alpha players were bugging you, they know it
and they were playing Alpha two

And you said where the hell is my beta?
It should have been here months ago
I could be shooting commander yan now
instead of whinging in the wings

You screamed and shouted when the third hit
You posted Troll after Troll
the tears of rage and frustration
Whinge and whinging in the wings
yes you were whinging in the wings

Oh, well you look at that. I get to recycle all my old stuff on the oolite forums for a new bright and spangly audience. How marvelous.

psykokow, love your work. I especially like your avatar you did all that within the 80k limit? Most excellent.

Anyway, (with minor adjustments) to the music then:

set to The Windmills Of Your Mind.

Round.
Like a slow rotating station.
Like the dark within the wheel.
Days of never ending trading
spinning stars beneath the keel.

Like a lone and harmless trader
forced to combat all too soon.
pirate reavers scenting shrapnel,
blooded orbits round the moon.

Like the vipers slowly circle.
through offenders deep in space.
Slave cargo in the hold with
frozen terror on their face.

All this and more you'll find.
Keeping Elite on your mind.

Blue busting through the tunnel
maybe misjump all alone
where the navy test their metal
and the Thargiod saucers roam.

As golden wings, they beckon.
To too many just a dream.
sharp fact of fast rip ruin glass
followed by a silent scream.

Like the vipers slowly circle.
through offenders deep in space.
Slave cargo in the hold with
frozen terror on their face.

All this and more you'll find.
Keeping Elite on your mind.

Is the red track on the scanner
passing by or drawing near?
Ship, tip turning through the void.
Their dark intention crystal clear.

The pulsing missile claxon
mimes the beating of your heart.
The distant laser drilling
gently pulls your ship apart.

Short life speed flash before you,
but this moment hanging long.
Shot shielding straight depleted
and the power almost gone.

Now you fear
it might all be over
You are suddenly aware.
The escape pod that you need.
Instead of here, is over there!

Like a slow rotating station.
Like the dark within the wheel.
Days of never ending trading,
spinning stars beneath the keel.

A hastened end is kind,
All this and more you'll find.
Keeping Elite on your mind.
