Help! Need songwriters for next FOFC album

[Antmeister]

Okay, I know this is a strange request, but I thought it would be fun to do sort of a community album in which anyone can contribute. I have seen the work of WSUCougar and I like a lot of his stuff, but unfortunately I don't have the instrumental versions of any of the songs he writes and I can't play any instruments.

So what I am going to do is list a few songs that I have instrumentals of and see if anyone wants to take a stab at writing a parody. It doesn't have to be FOFC related, so don't stress if you can't come up with something FOFC related. If there is no interest in such a thing, I will go back to my small corner of the closet and write them myself, but I think it would be cool to see what other posters write since they have a more unique sense of humor. Anyways here is a small sample of the songs. Please.....I need your help guys:

The Message - Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper
Drop It Like It's Hot - Snoop Dogg
Against All Odds - Phil Collins
All I Have to Give - Back Street Boys
Feel Good Inc. - Gorillaz

[Joe]

what about guest performers?

[Antmeister]

what about guest performers?

lol...Actually that would be very cool. This is probably going to be the only album in which the guest performers outperform their host. :D

[gottimd]

If some of us can obtain instrumentals to send to you, can your list of songs be more than the ones you have listed?

[Groundhog]

Hrm, got an idea for Feel Good Inc., will post the results shortly...

Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper

Mrs. Q and I are working on an "Against All Odds" parody... but don't want to cut off anyone else who might be. Room for all comers. (Our probably will not be a true FOF theme - we have another idea)

We love this shit.

May be music to your ears, but it's not to ours...

QS should work on lyrics to the music of "We Didn't Start The Fire" or some other classic Billy Joel

First draft:

Time After Time

Typing in my chair I hear the keys click,
and think of you
caught up in dolas,
confusion is nothing new
Flere pics – flame fights -
all threads left behind
Werewolves, parodies,
time after -

Sometimes you picture me -
“What-the-hell do you look like?” thread
More posting (it’s Pumpy) so I can't read
what you've said.
A few say: “These posts blow” -
SD’s behind.
another ban unwinds

Chorus
If you post they will look at the FOFC
time after time
If you brawl they will watch you – and Ben'll be waiting
time after time

After my picture fades, a red X takes it away
Watching through windows -
you're questioning my URL.
Asshats, it’s stolen, from a site outside
Yet Pumpy’s pic’s still fine!

Chorus
If you post they will look at the FOFC
time after time
If you brawl they will watch you – and Ben'll be waiting
time after time

A few say: “These posts blow” -
SD’s behind.
another ban unwinds

Chorus
If you post...
...time after time
time after time
time after time
time after time

Here's a stab at a parody... came pretty easily, once Mrs Q had the germ idea:

Not a true FOFC theme, but rather a poker theme (though there's obviously some overlap, it won't appeal or even make sense to everyone, I understand)...

With insincere apologies to Phil Collins, Against All Odds


How can I just throw this hand away,
just let you beat my my king and ace
When I sit here holding overcards on you, ooh
You're the only one who would even make the call

How can you check raise the turn on me,
when all I can do is call or leave
Cos I bet the flop and bet the turn,
even though I missed that queen
You're the only one who would even make the call

So take a look at my hand,
I've got an empty ace
And there's nothing left here to river me,
just a gutshot to the straight
Take a look at my hand,
'cos I raised my suited ace
And you drawing out on me
was against the odds but that's what I've got to face

I wish I could have hit the turn this hand,
turned a king to see you cry
There's so much I read as I see you,
so many tells don't lie
Donkey's queen and ten shouldn't be in here at all

So take a look at my hand,
'cos I've got an empty ace
And there's nothing left here to river me,
just a gutshot to the straight
Take a look at this pot,
'cos there's just my empty ace
But to call for you,
well that's all I can do, that's the bet I've got to place
Take a good look at this pot,
'cos I will be calling here
Him dealing a jack for me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oho

Take a look at this pot...

[SirFozzie]

I will pay good money to see this happen (just to see folks heads asplode :D)

(BLAME SACKATTACK! He came up with the idea.. I just.. ran with it)

To the Tune (badly) of Billy Joel's Piano Man

It's 9 o'clock on a Saturday
The FOFC crowd shuffles in
Jeebies creating new threads left and right.
And some poor newbie is trollin...

He says "Can some one trade me some FOF, you see"
I'd really like to know how it goes...
well I can trade a copy of Net Detective
And if you made that trade you'd really get hosed.


La la la, de de da

Posting some new threads on FOFC, Man..
Posting some threads tonight..
For we're in the mood for some sports-sim talk..
it'll probably touch off a big fight..

Now Foz over there, is a Red Sox Fan.
Some say he got mad and punched a tree
Easy Mac's quick with a joke, we think MIJB has toked
And Farrah, Arlie and baby make three.

Hell Atlantic's posting but is making no sense.
And radii's playing poker left and right.
SackAttack is listening to the Dodger game,
and Bubba's starting another Religious fight...

Now the wigs were trolling hand over fist,
and the Dark Jedi's pictures are such a sight..
And the trolls flames were fanning, that led to a banning
Now who'd you think would win that fight..

And Quiksand's Puzzles answers are always 2/3's
And Shorty.. well shorty obviously is stoned..
Yes they're starting a picture based flamewar
And if they go too far it'll be off they go..
They'll be "In the Penalty Box" for sure..

The dynasty forum's busy tonight,
to read them all you'll need a while
Cause you see, there's a post or 23
Looks like Eaglesfan27 has been posting again..

And the forum's going to crash again.
And Franklinnoble will say "Fucking Time Stamp Bug"
But we'll come back from near or far, no matter where we are..
but say man "What are we doing, here.."

[Hurst2112]

I'll offer mixing and/or mastering services if needed.

[JeeberD]

Ah, the old time stamp bug. Good work, Fozz...

[Maple Leafs]

Safe to assume that someone will step up with Against All Mods?

[Antmeister]

Okay, I have copied the songs posted thus far. Thanks guys, these are great. Keep 'em coming and Maple Leafs, that is a brilliant suggestion to anyone that wants to take a stab at that song title. And Hurst are you serious? If you are, I will seriously take you up on that offer.
