The Ogre Sleeps Tonight (parody of The Lion Sleeps Tonight)

[Drassil]

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.)

Hmm, that sounds very intruiging, "In the dungeon, the mighty dungeon the ogre sleeps tonight!"

[HStorm]

With Mogdred and Lord Fear doing the backing vocals...

"I-kill-away, I-kill-away, I-kill-away, I-kill-away,
I-kill-away, I-kill-away, I-kill-away..."


"The Ogre Sleeps Tonight"! How do you think some of these ones up, Drass?

[Drassil]

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.

*Nods dutifully*

Quite right. Well done, Emii as well!

*Applauds, then sits behind the sofa, ashamed of his own hideous lack of musical talent.*

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?

[Thanatos]

It's more than OK.

"Fan-Bloomin-Tastic"


Or in other words.


"A Very LOVELY piece of Work Drassil."  ;D

[HStorm]

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!

Yes an you and Emii take home the NAFFTA award for best composition and best songwriters award!
