Missed the Bluescreen (parody of Mr. Blue Sky by ELO)

[Drassil]

In honour of Knightmare's return, a rewording of Mr. Blue Sky by ELO (lyrics, video). It's a song you may remember from Doctor Who episode Love & Monsters. If I've upset you by mentioning that, think instead of your love for Knightmare's monsters.

Knightmare's made with chromakey

It's not reality

Yet we're fearing

Twists and turns of dungeoneering

And we know

It's our key to Saturday

Walking past the screens of blue

That we can't see, quite rightly

Treguard's gritty

Saying, "Oh dear, what a pity,

never mind." Why did he go away?

Missed the bluescreen

It's been nineteen

Years. Knightmare's been away for so long (so long)

And that's oh so wrong

X2

Hey you with the helmet on

Knightmare is no longer gone

Jubilation

For the bluescreens up there waiting

And the horseman is riding to the door

Missed the bluescreen

It's been nineteen

Years. Knightmare's been away for so long (so long)

And that's oh so wrong

Hey there, Mr. Child

We were watchers, how we smiled

It was cancelled, we were riled

Now it's back, we're going wild

X2

Missed the bluescreen

X3

Welcome back to Hugo Myatt

And here comes Mr. Knight

Bigger, bolder

And he's also slightly older

Tiny mind, won't surrender no no

Won't surrender no no way

Missed the bluescreen

It's been nineteen

Years. Knightmare's been away for so long (so long)

And that's oh so wrong

Hey there, Mr. Child

We were watchers, how we smiled

It was cancelled, we were riled

Now it's back, we're going wild

No... turn... ing... back... now...

Wow! Your song parodies are always very good, but this one strikes me as particularly brilliant. As well as the lyrical genius, it's an inspired choice of song that fits the mood of the occasion perfectly.
