The Ogre Sleeps Tonight (parody of The Lion Sleeps Tonight)
-
I like the new songs a lot. I've written a reworking titled 'The Ogre Sleeps Tonight', which I'll be posting at some point. (You may know it best via Tight Fit's version, but there are other ones, including this one by The Nylons.)

Ideas come to me in the shower, and walking to the shops. I don't know how. Much of the credit should go to Emii, for starting the thread in the first place. For anyone who is familiar with the play 'Assembly Women' by Aristophanes, I reworked the songs in that as well, for a filming project just over a year ago.

In other words, now:
In the dungeon, the scary dungeon
The ogre sleeps tonight
Velda's shooting, and Olaf's looting
And Motley's taken fright
Oo-oooh, nasty-y-y-i-imaweh
Oo-oooh, nasty-y-y-i-imaweh
In the throne room, the spacious throne room
The wizard sleeps tonight
A spider's crawling, a goblin's mauling
And Festus wants a bite
Oo-oooh, nasty-y-y-i-imaweh
Oo-oooh, nasty-y-y-i-imaweh
Hush my Melly, don't turn to jelly
The monsters sleep tonight
Mogdred's quiet, the skulls won't riot
Don't fear the cavernwights
Oo-oooh, nasty-y-y-i-imaweh
Oo-oooh, nasty-y-y-i-imaweh...
Is that OK?

It's brilliant, Drassil, believe me. It managed to make me laugh several times, which is some achievement after the day I've had. Five stars and a prestigious HStorm "pat-on-the-head-for-being-such-a-classy-songwriter-and-polished-part-time-gameshow-critic" award.
Taikabow!
