Oddworld Songs
Okay, this is the thread to post Oddworld related songs. Anyone can who can write song lyrics can post, and it's not a competition…yet. There are a few rules:
1) They must be spoofs or Oddversions of familiar songs. Pop from any era, songs from plays; anything with a proper tune. The words must fit, and tell us the title of the original so we can get it. If they rhyme with the original, that is okay
2) No rap. Unless you can pull of a very good version of an iconic rap track that is easily recognisable, stick to ones you can sing. Songs like those by Gorilllaz, while really good, are not very suitable either.
3) Make it original. It's no good just to change the names into Oddworld ones, put some effort into it.
4) Anthems and songs from imaginary Oddworld musicals are fine. And so are ones of fan-fiction stories, as long as there are references to familiar names.
This is my first attempt. I downloaded the original lyrics, and could only remember the tune to the chorus! It depicts events from AO.
He is a Zero (Holding out for a hero)
Where have all the natives gone
From the land they once trod?
Where’s the mud who will fight on
For all that is Odd?
Isn't there a great one upon a smelly steed?
Over the years the fact’ries grew, and made the Oddworld bleed.
(Chorus)
He is a zero
This mudokon is a zero who will do what is right
He's not very strong
And he’s not very bright
And he's not really able to fight
He is a zero
A mud who has been a zero for all of his life
He's an ex-slave
And his quest is to save
As many scrubs as he can in one night (can in one night)
Somewhere after midnight
He saw a great big moon
Hanging just beyond his reach
He fell down the cliff to his doom
Smashing to the stony ground like a piece of meat
Amazingly the Bigface brought him back to his feet
Journeyed through forests old and deserts hot
And the temples of ages gone
Creatures chased him through the dark alleys
Better run!
Through the guard and the saws and the pain
And the death and the crud
Evil feel his approach
He has Shrykull in his blood (He has Shrykull in his blood)
Zero!
He is a zero
This mudokon is a zero but he’ll do what is right
He’s not very strong
And he’s not very bright
And he’s not really able to fight
Hero
Oh but he’s a hero
And he’s gonna be a hero for the rest of his life
He’s an ex-slave
And his quest is to save
As many scrubs as he can in the fight
Now he’s a hero.
Well?
