The first song will be from Monkey Island. One of my all-time favourites, although I don't know if it can be considered a song...
A Pirate I was Meant to be
(Talking)
Captain: Thanks for the help back there guys.(sarcastically)
Third Mate: It was a rousing battle, Captain.
First Mate: Aye, and it reminds me of a song...
(singing)
First Mate: We're a band of vicous pirates
Second Mate: A Sailin' Out to Sea!
Third Mate: When ye hear our gentle singin'
First Mate: Be sure to turn and flee!
(talking) Captain: Ohh, this is just ridiculous.
Captain: Come on men, We've GOT to recover that map!
Second Mate: That pirate will be done for when he falls into our trap!
Third Mate: We're a club of tuneful rovers
First Mate: We can sing at every clef
Second Mate: We can even hit the high notes!
First Mate: It's just too bad we're tone deaf.
All Mates: A pirate I was meant to be, trim the sails and roam the seas!
Captain: Let's go defeat that evil pirate!
Second Mate: We know he's sure to lose because we know just where to fire at!
Second Mate: We're a thieving valideer
First Mate: A gang of cutthroat mugs
Third Mate: To fight us off you wont need guns
Second Mate: Just jolly good earplugs!
All Mates: A pirate I was meant to be, trim the sails and roam the seas!
Captain: Alright crew, let's get to work!
First Mate: Our vocation is a thing we love, a thing we never shirk!
First Mate: We'll fight you in the harbor
Third Mate: We'll battle you on land
Second Mate: But when you meet singing pirates
(talking) Captain: They'll be more than you can stand.
First Mate: Oh, ho, that was a good one!
Captain: No, it wasn't.
Captain: No time for song, we've got to move!
Third Mate: The battle will be long, but our courage we will prove!
Second Mate: We're a pack of scurvy seadogs
First Mate: Have we pity? Not a gram
Third Mate: We all eat roasted garlic
First Mate: And sing from the diaphram.
All Mates: A pirate I was meant to be, trim the sails and roam the seas!
Captain: Less Singing, More Sailing!
Second Mate: When we defeat our wicked foe his ship he will be bailing!
Third Mate: If ye try to fight us
First Mate: You'll get a nasty whackin'
Second Mate: If you disrespect our singin'
First Mate: We will treat ye to a crackin'!
All Mates: A pirate I was meant to be, trim the sails and roam the seas!
Captain: I'm getting so sick of you guys and your rhyming!
First Mate: We're ready to set sail, though the cannons need a primin'!
Second Mate: We're troublesome corsairs
Third Mate: We've come to steal yer treasure
First Mate: We would shoot ya in the downbeat
Second Mate: But we've got a rest by measures
All Mates: A pirate I was meant to be, trim the sails and roam the seas!
Captain: (whining)Stop, stop, stop!
Third Mate: The brass is what we'll pollish and the deck is what we'll mop!
Captain: You say you're nasty pirates,
Thieving scheming bad-bush whackers,
But from what I've seen I tell you you're no pirates,
You're just slackers!
All Mates: A pirate I was meant to be, trim the sails and roam the seas!
Captain: We'll surely avoid scurvy if we all eat an orange.
(Crew Desperately tries to think of a word to rhyme orange with)
First Mate: and..
Second Mate: umm...
Third Mate: well..
First Mate: uhh..
Third Mate: Door Hinge?
Second Mate: No, no..
Third Mate: Guess the song's over then.
First Mate: Guess so...
Second Mate: OK, back to work.
Captain: Well, gee.. I feel a little guilty now.
Ah, that brings back good memories of the Monkey Island series. The next song is put here because it popped up in one of the Friends episodes I was watching and I just decided to randomly slot it in here for fun.
Billy Don't Be a Hero
Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods
The marchin' band came down along Main Street
The soldier-blues fell in behind
I looked across and there I saw Billy
Waiting to go and join the line
And with her head upon his shoulder
His young and lovely fiancee
From where I stood, I saw she was cryin'
And through her tears I heard her say
"Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"
"Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife"
And as he started to go she said "Billy, keep your head lo-o-ow"
"Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me"
The soldier-blues were trapped on a hillside
The battle raging all around
The sergeant cried "We've got to hang on, boys"
"We got to hold this piece a'ground"
"I need a volunteer to ride up"
"And bring us back some extra men"
And Billy's hand was up in a moment
Forgettin' all the words she said
She said
"Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"
"Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife"
And as he started to go she said "Billy, keep your head lo-o-ow"
"Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me"
I heard his fiancee got a letter
That told how Billy died that day
The letter said that he was a hero
She should be proud he died that way
I heard she threw that letter away...
Ah, that brings back good memories... The war, the trenches, the planes flying overhead as the sound of gunfire was everywhere. Yes, Command and Conquer: Generals was good, alright. Okay, so there wasn't trenches, but there was still everything else. =D
What? What were you expecting?? :P
