Mecha Talk

Another Gundam/Disney related thing... I've got the idea for a Bright Noah tribute to the tune of "I'll Make A Man Out Of You!" stuck in my head, and will probably try to make it into an AMV when I have the time, and some decent ZZ footage.

ShadowCell, I actually attended a filking session at Worldcon and sang some of your Disney parodies there. The others weren't all that familiar with Gundam, but they liked the songs anyway.

...oh holy Jesus that is awesome.

I award you one Internet.



No, the parodies you post here don't have to be Gundam-related.

They're both awesome songs, but pretty serious...

Thanks. Of course, the side effect is that I have Banned From Argo stuck in my head and am going to have to write a version of that to get it out. I've got lyrics for a Macross Frontier version percollating...

Okay, here's that one I threatened...
(BTW, If anyone can think of lyrics for a Gundam version (any series), I'd like to see it)

BANNED FROM EDEN
To the tune of "Banned From Argo" by Leslie Fish
Original lyrics here
Torchwood vid to rearranged version here (Youtube didn't play the Star Trek one properly)

When we pulled into Eden Port in need of R & R
The crew set out investigating every joint and bar
We had high expectations of their hospitality
But found it wasn't geared for mercenaries such as we

And we're banned from Eden, every one
Banned from Eden just for having a little fun
We spent a jolly shoreleave there for just three days or four
But Eden doesn't want us anymore

Our squadron leader headed out, there was no time to waste
Just one problem, their preferred music was not to his taste
So he hooked up some king-size speakers to his Valkyrie
And shared his love for Fire Bomber with the whole city

And we're banned from Eden, every one
Banned from Eden just for having a little fun
We spent a jolly shoreleave there for just three days or four
But Eden doesn't want us anymore

Our new recruit, though nervous, ventured forward nonetheless
We kid you not when we say he looked like a real princess
He drank seven shots of tequila in some tranny bar
And next thing he was making out atop a police car

And we're banned from Eden, every one
Banned from Eden just for having a little fun
We spent a jolly shoreleave there for just three days or four
But Eden doesn't want us anymore

We left it to our sniper, sure that he’d pick up the slack
He didn’t know what happened, but things suddenly went black
The sight he saw when he came to, he could only lie and watch
As he realised he was pantsless, with a loli on his crotch

And we're banned from Eden, every one
Banned from Eden just for having a little fun
We spent a jolly shoreleave there for just three days or four
But Eden doesn't want us anymore

The commander of Pixie Squadron went to hit the scene
She told us she would make it with the man of her dreams
She ducked into a back alley to some weird Zentradei shop
To buy something she said would result in her being on top

And we're banned from Eden, every one
Banned from Eden just for having a little fun
We spent a jolly shoreleave there for just three days or four
But Eden doesn't want us anymore

Our rising Cinderella seized her chance to perform live
The outcome we’re not sure the population will survive
The course is set for her success, I’m sure she’ll be a star
It’s just too bad her biggest fans are swarms of Vaj-a-ra!

And we're banned from Eden, every one
Banned from Eden just for having a little fun
We spent a jolly shoreleave there for just three days or four
But Eden doesn't want us anymore

We’re honoured to be SMS, and our record is our pride
We’re sorry ‘bout the swarm of roaches seventy feet wide
We're sorry 'bout the wreckage and the riots and the fuss
At least we're sure that planet won't be quick forgetting us

And we're banned from Eden, every one
Banned from Eden just for having a little fun
We spent a jolly shoreleave there for just three days or four
But Eden doesn't want us anymore (wonder why?)

Sounds cool, glad you liked it.

BTW, I couldn't think of verses for Luca and Sheryl, so if anyone wants to add them, feel free.

IT'S TOUGH TO BE A CHAR
To the tune of "It's Tough to Be a God" from DreamWorks' The Road to El Dorado.
Well, it is.
-----
CHAR AZNABLE:
I hardly think I'm qualified
To carry on my father's pride
I'm not a revolutionary

The Federation's on its knees
Giving lots of gold to me
So that I won't drop some coloniiiiiiiiies

QUATTRO BAGEENA:
Listen, I'm a normal guy
Not a leader, I just fight
I don't really want to lead the way

I'm not Char, it's really true
I've got sunglasses to prove
That I really am not who Kai saaaaaaaays

CHAR:
It's tough to be a Char
Even though it took me far
Got deified despite my silly mask

CHAR AND QUATTRO:
I'm an object of devotion
Though a teen kicked my ass
An unsatisfying notion
Though I go three times as fast
Any normal man would bridle
At how I'm a pedophile
But the normal men sure don't make up my fans

CHAR:
All the same, I've got my clones
'cuz I show up in every show
Though you can try, you won't be rid of me

Between Zabine and Rau
And Lancerow and Bushido
And Harry Ord and Zechs Maaaaarquiiiiiiiiiiiise

QUATTRO:
Can't you see I'm not a Char
Whatcha think this name is for?
So just don't listen to Kaaaaaai

Their souls, weighed by gravity
Don't concern me in the least
Who else would take a name like miiiiiiiine?

CHAR:
It's tough to be a Char
But red mechs will take you far
Keep your motives vague and strange is my advice

CHAR AND QUATTRO:
Be a weirdo, be a villain
Be all things to all fans
Make the monoeye look special
Every show will score a ten
The alternative is dire
Just a psychic teenage whiner
Be thankful for the Chars in this franchiiiiiiiiiise!




meh, not one of my better ones.

Yeah, I just had to. I'm probably getting my own private torture chamber in hell for this.

whats it a prody of?

Er...
AWESOME SONG!
But...
Awkward to watch lol, especially at a school with a high concentration of Jewish people. Lots of raised eyebrows.

GLEMY'S LULLABY
To the tune of "My Lullaby" from Disney's The Lion King II - Simba's Pride, which was pretty much the only good thing about that movie.
I still can't decide if Jerid Messa, Cronicle Asher, Graham Aker, or Glemy Toto has the crown of Most Pathetic Antagonist in Gundam, but here's Glemy making his case.
-----
GLEMY:
Sleep, my little Puru
Go and drift away
One day when my plans unfurl
I'll drive you insane

We were exiled, persecuted
We were driven on the run
So we hung out with the asteroids
Which was not very fun

But we're back and kicking ass, too
And I've got plans all my own
With the help of all these Purus
I'm coming for the throne

The sound of Haman's dying gasp!
Her minions in the Mansa's grasp!
The sound of Mashymre's sad cry!
That's my lullaby!

Yes, it might seem really skeezy
That I use so much jailbait
But no matter if it's sleazy
A new market I'll create!

RAKAN:
So you sent a bunch of lolis
To go kill Haman for you?

GLEMY:
Oh, I know it must look creepy
But that's why I hired you

The Qubeleys are on the prowl
The funnels fly, the war dogs growl
A treacherous collage, oh my!
That's my lullaby!

Gihren's gone, but Glemy's still around
And he's got little girls
And they're all trained to be killers
So that I can rule the world!

RAKAN:
God damn it, this is weird.

GLEMY:
Dude, come on, be a sport.

PURU TWO:
One day when our plans unfurl

GLEMY:
They will make me king!

The drums announce that Glemy's back!
The Queen Mansa on the attack!

RAKAN:
And your betrayal

PURU TWO:
Justified!

GLEMY:
I can hear the cheering!

RAKAN AND PURU TWO:
*Rakan looking annoyed* Glemy, what a guy.

GLEMY:
Victory is nearing!
And soon my flag will fly!
The Zabis on the rise!
That's my lullaaaaaabyyyyyyyyyy!
*psychotic laughter*

Okay, I'm not much of a lyricist but I'll give it a short shot. I'm actually surprised no one's done this song before.

I AM GUNDAM-MAN!
To the tune of "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath. I would imagine that Setsuna is singing this, seems like his kind of song.

I AM GUNDAM-MAN!
Flying through space
from the Zaku guys!
They've got guns and blades!
Crazy motherZOINKS with mono-eyes!


Aaaannnddd... uh, that's all I got so far. Told ya I'm not that good. I actually had a second verse to this, had something to do with gundam girls but I forget. If someone wants to take this and roll with it, I won't mind.

MOBILE SUIT MAKE S#%T UP
To the tune of "The U.S.S. Make S#%t Up" by Voltaire.
Star Trek ain't the only show with technobabble!
-----
We were stranded on a spaceship, me and all my friends
A funny red masked space Nazi had blown our asses up
But then I found a manual and found the Gundam too
And I hopped into the cockpit and I killed the Zaku IIs!

(Amuro: TATTE, GANDAMU)

We were gathered on the bridge, thinkin' we were screwed
When the alarms and sensors issued forth a big to-do
Increase Minovsky particles and send the Guntank crew!
We've got a Newtype teenager to save our asses too!

And I say
Send the psychic teenager who really likes to whine and bitch
That's the way we do things, lad, we're makin' s#%t up as we wish
The Zeons and the Innovades pose no threat to us!
'cuz if we find we're in a bind, we'll just make some s#%t up

(halfhearted attempt to hum "Tobe, Gundam!")

Well, some think him a child, and some think him a dick
But Camille Vidan is unsurpassed in makin' up some s#%t
He's the guy you want with you in warfare up in space
And if you're feeling stressed, just punch him in the face

And if you're fighting Paptimus and getting badly gored
And things are looking grim and the AEUG could lose the war
Just load up the bio-sensor and prepare to trip
'cuz all your old dead girlfriends will help you in a pinch!

And I say
Send the psychic teenager who really likes to whine and bitch
That's the way we do things, lad, we're makin' s#%t up as we wish
The Zeons and the Innovades pose no threat to us!
'cuz if we find we're in a bind, we'll just make some s#%t up

Kira's on a mission, to dodge a bloody end
And on the other side he has to fight his old best friend
Phase Shift armor and Mirage Colloid will see him through
Until he gets the Freedom Gundam and disables you

And what is with the ZAFTies now? Remember what they were?
They looked like Backstreet Boys rejects and voiced by TMR
Now they look like David Bowie had a bad hair day
And they're idiots, and douchebags too, and screaming every day

And I say
Send the psychic teenager who really likes to whine and bitch
That's the way we do things, lad, we're makin' s#%t up as we wish
The Zeons and the Innovades, they pose no threat to us!
'cuz if we find we're in a bind, we'll just make some s#%t up

I was stuck on the Ptolemy, fighting all the world
When suddenly it dawned on me, I've seen this show before
All the GN particles are sparkly little things
But it was way back in the 90s when they called it Gundam Wing

We were looking for a way to make the ratings soar
So we wrote a movie 'bout a run-in with the Borg
But because the copyrights would lead to lawsuit hells
We had to name them something else and so we called them ELS

And I say
Send the psychic teenager who really likes to whine and bitch
That's the way we do things, lad, we're makin' s#%t up as we wish
The Zeons and the Innovades pose no threat to us!
'cuz if we find we're in a bind
We're totally screwed, but never mind
We'll pull something out of our behiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinds...
We just make some s#%t up

I'll go ahead and provide one I found a while back on an old Battletech/Mechwarrior forum. I don't claim credit for this.

"Whiskey in the Gyro" (Parody of Whiskey in the Jar which was performed originally by Thin Lizzy and later covered by Metallica)

As I was on Luthien,
Fightin' 'gainst the Clanner
I saw Star Captain Farrel
'An his 'Mech had the Jaguars' banner

Well I first produced my missiles
And then I produced my laser
I said, "Stand and deliver,
And hope Kerensky saves ye!"

Well the Dragon he paid me money
And oh it was a pretty penny
I took all of that money
And I spent it all on my Urbie.
Well I slapped on lots of armor
And doubled up on ammo
But the Devil take my tech
For you know she can't paint camo

Ref: Say, "My machine dum-a-do dum-a-da
'Mech was my daddy's own
'Mech was my daddy's own
An' there's whiskey in the gyro

Fightin' with Prince Victor
I went to Stranha Mechty
Takin' my Urbie with me
Lord, I never knew they'd get me

Well there were six--no, maybe seven 'Mechs
An' one was Star Captain Farrel's
I jumped up, fired my missiles
And I shot him with both barrels, yeah

Ref: I said, "My machine dum-a-do dum-a-da
'Mech was my daddy's own
'Mech was my daddy's own
An' there's whiskey in the gyro

Well some 'Mechs pack the missiles
And some 'Mechs pack the cannon
And some men like to hear
To hear the Gauss slug roarin'

But me, hey, I like snipin'
'Specially with my Urbie's 'twenty
But here I am a Bondsman
Here those Clanners now they own me

Ref: Say, "My machine dum-a-do dum-a-da
'Mech was my daddy's own
'Mech was my daddy's own
An' there's whiskey in the gyro

INNOVATION RHAPSODY

Is this the GN~
Is this just Minovsky~
Haro says "Lockon"~
Crying on the walkie~
Open your eyes,
They're full of lines now, see?
I'm just a Gundam, I need no Minovsky-
Because there's Saji with Red Haro,
Watching the particle flow
What color the drive glows doesn't really matter to me,
To me~

Mama, just killed you, man,
Put a gun against your head,
Pulled my trigger, now you're dead,
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away~
Mama ooo~oooh~ooo,
Didn't mean to make you cry~
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow~
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters~

Too late, my time has come,
That shoulder wound won't heal,
I'm no Gundam made of steel,
Goodbye everybody, I've got to go~
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth~
Mama ooo~oooh~ooo~ (what color the drive glows)
I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all~

I see a little silhouetto of Gundam.

Innovate! Innovate!
Can you do the Trans-Am-o?

Releasing particles, lots of pretty sparkles, yay!

ZOINKS Ribbons! (ZOINKS Ribbons!)
ZOINKS Ribbons! (ZOINKS Ribbons!)
ZOINKS Ribbons has to go.
I HAB CONTRO-O-O-OL...!

I'm just a Gundam, nobody loves me.

HE'S JUST A GUNDAM, WITH A DEAD FAMILY!
SHOT IN THE HEAD SO HE COULD SERVE PRINCE ALI!

Saji with Red Haro, can I hab control?
It's Veda - No! You cannot hab control! (Hab control!)
It's Veda - You cannot hab control! (Hab control!)
It's Veda - You cannot hab control! (Hab control!)
Cannot hab control! (Hab control!)
Cannot hab control! (Hab contro-o-o-o-o-ol!)
No, no, no, no, no no no!
Oh Allelujah, Allelujah! (Hallelujah hab control!)
Why in the world must Tieria be so sexy, sexy, sexy~?!

So you think you can taunt me and break Exia's eye~
So you think you can shoot me and leave me to die~
Oh Ali~ Cant do this to me Ali~
Pullin' a new sword, pullin' a sword right out my ass~

What color the drive glows,
Anyone can see,
What color the drive glows, doesn't really matter to me,

What color the drive glows...
