Song Parodies

[Brinniel]

Ack! I've been writing a "Lose Yourself" parody for the past six months (it got lost in my old computer and I finally managed to retrieve and finish it). Looks like you beat me to it. Your parody's pretty good, though, Evisse. Mine's a bit different, so I figure I might as well post mine, anyway. So here we go: two "Lose Yourself"s in a row.

(Oh, and just so no one gets confused: the first and third verses are about Frodo and the second is about Aragorn. Also, I might mention that some of the lines from the original song remained the same; they just fit in too perfectly.)

Look, if you had one chance, one opportunity
To save all of Middle-earth

One moment
Would you do it or just let it slip?

His palms are sweaty, arms weak, chest is heavy
He's been stabbed twice already, Sam's spaghetti
He's worried, but on the surface he looks calm and steady
He walks on, but he keeps on rememberin
What he holds on to, the temptation grows so strong
He pulls out the ring, how he desires to put it on
He's desperate, oh how it's been so long
Then the moment's gone, but time keeps movin on

Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Frodo, he resists
Hes so tired, but he wont give up that easy
No, he wont have it , he knows his paths have been torn
It dont matter, hes worn
He knows that, but hes so alone
At times it seems so cold

He can't wait to get back to his hobbit hole, that's when it's
Back to his home again yo
With the ring gone from him
He better go complete this quest and hope it dont fail him

You better not lose yourself to the One Ring, the moment
You own it, you better let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance, let's go
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

The time escaping, through this hole that its gaping
Gondor is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin, but royalty means to face the Lord of Mordor
It only grows harder, only grows darker

At Helms Deep, he leads us all into battle
From Gondor to Bree, hes known as Aragorn or Strider
Lonely roads, he only knows
Hes grown farther from home and his girl Arwen
Who gives up immortality to be right by him
But hold on tight cuz here here goes the cold water
Cuz Eowyn likes him now, hes hot topic

She thinks he’s a great guy, he’s fly
She dove for him and got nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
And Arwen’s still his partner, and the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da

You better bring yourself to your own fate, the moment
You own it you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance, let's go
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

No more games, I've changed to what you call crazed
Burdened with this ring like I've been caged
I was plain fine in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I've been chewed up and spit out and stripped away
But I kept walkin and every step I keep fightin’
Best believe for this task it’s worth dyin’
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That this darn ring is so enticing
And I cant no longer find a reason not to put it on
Cuz man, these goddarn waybreads dont provide defiance
And its no dream, it’s real, I can’t deny it, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin to keep up without stumblin, and
I don’t want to see the world fall apart in front of me, because of me
Bug eyed drama screamin on and
Too much for me to just
Stay in one spot, whether I like it or not
It has gotten to the point, where I’m stuck
I've got to formulate a plot fore I end up eaten or shot
Success is my one and only option, failure’s not
Sam, I like you, but you can't help me no more
I cannot fail, no, for too long I've fought

So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got

You better not lose yourself to the One Ring, the moment
You own it, you better let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance, let's go
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

Whew! I just realized how long that song really was. No wonder it took so long for me to finish. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
