Suggestions for Recording the Bill Gates song


Yufster

Recommended Posts

Well, all my guitar strings are broken and I need new ones. So if I rerecord the Bill Gates love song it's gonna be keyboard accomp. Which is nice. I haven't worked it out yet, but I'm sure it'll be nice.

 

Huh.

 

Anyway, I have the lyrics to the original Bill Gates Love Song here, but that whole RAP bit is gonna be hard to do with a keyboard, seeing as I can't play the keyboard as well as I can play the guitar (And I can't play the guitar very well).

 

So, I thought to myself, "I'm going to have to REVISE the lyrics."

 

Now, there's only so much a person can say about Bill Gates. Even for the original song, I had to sing a few likes about crotch maltesers and Nikola Testis (delightfully, these two are unrelated topics).

 

So here's the deal.

 

You guys write the lyrics. I'll add them to the old lyrics, and copy paste a few bits and pieces, and voila! A new song! But instead of writing about Bill Gates, we're going to write about EVERYBODY! It can be people off the forum, or whatever.

 

So put your lyrics and love songs here! Everybody take a turn to write a lil paragraph or whatever.

 

I'll start:

 

Nikola Testis, Nikola Testis,

Baby take a crotch malteser and chew,

Nikola Testis, Nikola Testis,

Baby all I can think about is chewing you

 

(Okay, I sort of took that from last years song)

Here's 'un I wrote on vacation.

 

G - - - - - - - - - - D7

Great long ears, furry little tail

C

Twitching little nose, long sharp nails,

G - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - D7

Quick as greased lightning, twice as funny,

C - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Em

Small and fierce, the killer bunny

 

(etc.)

What's that you say? Oh yeah, he's cute

But don't trust his looks 'cause he kills to shoot

And when you see a way out, go ahead and grab it

Like I said, he's a homicidal rabbit.

 

CHORUS:

Am

Now Max can be disarmingly nice

- - - - - D7

Just a perky little chap all full of spice

- - - - - - - - - Am

And when he talks philosophically, you'd almost swear

- - - -D7 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - C

You'd never seen such a decent hare...

 

(more verses)

But look a bit closer at his saucy smile,

And you'll find ten cats' woth of sheer wile

I said it before, and I'll say it again

Never trust a killer rabbit's lovely grin!

 

I love my town, and I love my honey

I used to love my little pet bunny

But ever since Max, Bugs, and Zoom

I shriek when I see a rabbit in the room.

 

(chorus)

 

Not really a love song at all....I think maybe one about Monday Milking is in order. More anon!

I think we should incorporate this into it:

 

Scamper no longer, my little roof possum.

 

Your work day is done. Say, isn't that awesome?

 

Be still! Be still!

 

Or you, I will kill.

 

My frisky-fun friend, my plague-bearing blossom.

 

You have the INSANITY, of a MANATEE!!!

 

Then we can legally say Tim Schafer co-wrote it, because you can't copyright words.

 

EDIT: Oh wait, yes you can. Rats.

Ooooh! I remember us talking about Nikola Tesla, and you calling him Nikola Testis. Boy was I mad. :p

No cows are ever milked on Sunday,

(I think it's to the tune of a song called Blue Monday)

 

Monday, and they're back to work,

Tuesday, wednesday, there's work to shirk,

Thursday, I messed around on mIRC

Oh Friday, I think I'll play Turok.

Saturdayyyyyyyyyyyyy sucks,

Sunday and we're out of luck,

The cows are never milked today,

Somehow I gotta find,

a way to pass all my time,

It's Monday, La La La Ryhme!!!!

Not in the least. How about:

 

I was up too late that night, or so my mother said,

I was posting on the forum when I should have been in bed.

I was running out of Sweetarts when a thought occurred to me:

"Holy crap! I'm psychic! The future I can see!"

 

So I THOUGHT my findings to my other psychic buddy,

We communicated that way 'til my brains had turned to putty.

I whipped out my good old fingers and posted a bunch more,

The others couldn't tell what what I said, or what I meant it for.

 

You see, Yufster (that's her) and I were working on a plan.

We didn't want to tell anyone, so we lidded up THAT can,

And spoke in hushed and garbled words that none could comprehend,

So now we wait 'til Monday fair to see how it will end!

Andy, you think up the best ryhmes.

 

And yes. Oh lord. It's Monday now. It's Monday Morning! Holy crap!!!! Today we will know for SURE what is going to happen!!!

 

WILL The cows accept our pasture!? WILL the warm fresh milk be churned into butter and eaten!? WILL the new calves flock to their mothers side!? WILL EVERYTHING BE AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME?!

 

I don't know, but I have the feeling we're gonna find out, and if we don't, hordes of angry forumers are going to have our lungs, Andy.

Yeah, couldn't you imagine us going back and editing all our posts - and there were lots of them - to say "Tuesday?" That would be tedious. And plus I would be enduring another day of people wondering aloud WHY I can't stay off the walls and ceiling. And WHY I never sleep. And WHY I start talking about Tim Schafer at the dinner table. (Because even I don't know the answer to that one.)
