they are kick ass lyrics.... one thing, as a world class hacker (sounds good!) surely i'd like hacking? whatever though, they are wicked.
Thanks! It's not that you don't like hacking, it's that you hate being forced to do ANYTHING! You miss the freedom to hack what you want to hack.

I'm dead? :-( I wanted to kill someone first.
I see you coming back on a hang glider, no more scared face, raining down double Uzi death upon the crowd below.

 

I'm just not sure of who is in the crowd. :confused:

So now you're a ghost that haunts the science forum. Maybe a potergiest who causes "forbidden" to pop up at the most unlikely times.

 

The real lyrics by "The Doors"

 

The Ghost Song Lyrics

Awake.

Shake dreams from your hair

My pretty child, my sweet one.

Choose the day and choose the sign of your day

The day's divinity

First thing you see.

 

A vast radiant beach in a cool jeweled moon

Couples naked race down by it's quiet side

And we laugh like soft, mad children

Smug in the wooly cotton brains of infancy

The music and voices are all around us.

 

Choose they croon the ancient ones

The time has come again

Choose now, they croon

Beneath the moon

Beside an ancient lake

 

Enter again the sweet forest

Enter the hot dream

Come with us

Everything is broken up and dances.

 

The SFNM one's:

 

Awake.

Shake dreams from your hair

My poltergeist, my mischievous one.

As others boot up their computers

The "blue screen of death"

First thing they see.

 

Never again to click on the bright blue "e"

& Log on to SFN

And laugh like soft, mad children

Dreaming up the SFN musical

Because they killed you too soon and you have come back to haunt -

Your "forbidden" errors are all around us.

 

Never again to bicker over the ancient ones

The time - how many zeroes went after the 4

when debating the age of the universe

What lies on the surface of the Titan moon

Is that an ancient lake?

 

Never again to discuss caboniferous forest

Are those human bones, mixed in with tyranosaurus?

They killed her off

Now all their links are broken and Bettina dances.

That was as beautiful as you are....

 

I showed it to my dad who smiled with approval and now I have it hanging on the wall in my room. I'm glad to know you. :)

He's got to be "Officer Krupke" here are the real lyrics from West Side Story:

 

ACTION

Dear kindly Sergeant Krupke,

You gotta understand,

It's just our bringin' up-ke

That gets us out of hand.

Our mothers all are junkies,

Our fathers all are drunks.

Golly Moses, natcherly we're punks!

 

ACTION AND JETS

Gee, Officer Krupke, we're very upset;

We never had the love that ev'ry child oughta get.

We ain't no delinquents,

We're misunderstood.

Deep down inside us there is good!

 

ACTION

There is good!

 

ALL

There is good, there is good,

There is untapped good!

Like inside, the worst of us is good!

 

SNOWBOY: (Spoken) That's a touchin' good story.

 

ACTION: (Spoken) Lemme tell it to the world!

 

SNOWBOY: Just tell it to the judge.

 

ACTION

Dear kindly Judge, your Honor,

My parents treat me rough.

With all their marijuana,

They won't give me a puff.

They didn't wanna have me,

But somehow I was had.

Leapin' lizards! That's why I'm so bad!

 

DIESEL: (As Judge) Right!

 

Officer Krupke, you're really a square;

This boy don't need a judge, he needs an analyst's care!

It's just his neurosis that oughta be curbed.

He's psychologic'ly disturbed!

 

ACTION

I'm disturbed!

 

JETS

We're disturbed, we're disturbed,

We're the most disturbed,

Like we're psychologic'ly disturbed.

 

DIESEL: (Spoken, as Judge) In the opinion on this court, this child is depraved on account he ain't had a normal home.

 

ACTION: (Spoken) Hey, I'm depraved on account I'm deprived.

 

DIESEL: So take him to a headshrinker.

 

ACTION (Sings)

My father is a bastard,

My ma's an S.O.B.

My grandpa's always plastered,

My grandma pushes tea.

My sister wears a mustache,

My brother wears a dress.

Goodness gracious, that's why I'm a mess!

 

A-RAB: (As Psychiatrist) Yes!

Officer Krupke, you're really a slob.

This boy don't need a doctor, just a good honest job.

Society's played him a terrible trick,

And sociologic'ly he's sick!

 

ACTION

I am sick!

 

ALL

We are sick, we are sick,

We are sick, sick, sick,

Like we're sociologically sick!

 

A-RAB: In my opinion, this child don't need to have his head shrunk at all. Juvenile delinquency is purely a social disease!

 

ACTION: Hey, I got a social disease!

 

A-RAB: So take him to a social worker!

 

ACTION

Dear kindly social worker,

They say go earn a buck.

Like be a soda jerker,

Which means like be a schumck.

It's not I'm anti-social,

I'm only anti-work.

Gloryosky! That's why I'm a jerk!

 

BABY JOHN: (As Female Social Worker)

Eek!

Officer Krupke, you've done it again.

This boy don't need a job, he needs a year in the pen.

It ain't just a question of misunderstood;

Deep down inside him, he's no good!

 

ACTION

I'm no good!

 

ALL

We're no good, we're no good!

We're no earthly good,

Like the best of us is no damn good!

 

DIESEL (As Judge)

The trouble is he's crazy.

 

A-RAB (As Psychiatrist)

The trouble is he drinks.

 

BABY JOHN (As Female Social Worker)

The trouble is he's lazy.

 

DIESEL

The trouble is he stinks.

 

A-RAB

The trouble is he's growing.

 

BABY JOHN

The trouble is he's grown.

 

ALL

Krupke, we got troubles of our own!

 

Gee, Officer Krupke,

We're down on our knees,

'Cause no one wants a fellow with a social disease.

Gee, Officer Krupke,

What are we to do?

Gee, Officer Krupke,

Krup you!

 

SFN Version

 

ACTION

Dear kindly Sergeant Blike-e,

You gotta understand,

It's just our bringin' up-ke

That gets us out of hand.

Our mothers all are hackers,

Our fathers all are nerds.

Golly Moses, no wonder we're absurd!

 

ACTION AND JETS

Gee, Officer Krupke, we're very upset;

We never had the RAM that ev'ry child oughta get.

We're glued to our keyboards,

With sodas and chips.

Our world's made up of bytes and bits!

 

Dear kindly Sayonara,

You mustn't treat us rough.

Between exams and A-levels

Our life is really tough

Meosis or mitosis

The nth degree of x,

Leapin' lizards! That's why we're a mess!

 

Gee, Officer Blike-e,

We're down on our knees,

'Cause no one wants 'puter with a viral disease.

Why are we "forbidden"

When we click on the thread?

I give it up, I'm going to bed!

Could you give me a link to the actuall song?

 

I put the real words there - if you look, you might be able to find them, but all I could find were sites I'd have to download.

 

A singing group from the sixties or seventies called "The Doors" did Bettina's Ghost Song.

 

Officer Blike-e was taken the Leonard Bernstein's musical "West Side Story" - have you ever seen the movie of that? It's an updated version of Romeo and Juliette featuring a gang of white guys against a gang of Peurto Ricans. You might actually be able to play off that one entirely - with the scientists versus the creationists, if everybody could accept a little chiding in the name of fun.

 

http://www.westsidestory.com/ Click here for a bunch of info including all the lyrics.

 

Sayonara's song was from an opera about the Valkyies - the ferocious women warriers. If you ever watched Bugs Bunny cartoons - there was one that did a take off on it, where Fud was wearing a hat with two horns and blonde braids and singing "Kill the rabbit, kill the rabbit."

 

I gotta go take my cat to the vet - he is 18-1/2 years old and has suddenly gotten very sick. It's not looking good for him.

Thanks for that, I hope your cat gets better.

 

When you say 'you would have to download', does can i have a link so I can download?

Now THAT is a truly great idea that gives us lots of continuity! I would love to write "I'm So Brainy" (I'm So Pretty), "A God Like That" (A Boy Like That), "We're Right" (Tonight), "Bettina" or "Coquina" (Maria), "Sayonara" (Somethin's Comin') and the rest.

 

Probably wouldn't sit to well with the young 'uns, though. :-(

Posted

lol, we watched West Side Story in some class in 7th grade. I thought it was actually pretty good, or at least well done. I would love to hear some of the 'remixed' versions of the classics :)

Posted
And who would these 'young uns' be then? hm?
Anyone who doesn't know who Tony and Maria are. ;)

 

Bettina!

I just met a girl named Bettina.

She loves to look at Mars,

an angel from the stars, you see.

 

 

 

Oh, this stuff just writes itself! :D

I'm telling you, that armoured bra just fell on me officer.

Thanks for that' date=' I hope your cat gets better.

I think Tuffy, aka the Toad, will be OK - they're giving him fluids and a shot to control nausea and I will pick him up this PM.

 

Here's a site that offers free downloads to "Westside Story" - they say it's legal, but I can't vouch for that.

 

http://66.206.16.176/cgi/ezsearch.cgi

 

Do you have a video rental store nearby? Go rent the movie and watch it - I promise you, it's worth it.

Actually i think i have got the Soundtrack on LP, when i can get the damn thing to work ill listen to it then.

 

Yes ive seen it before

Posted

I didn't mean to hijack your idea - I guess you had your own idea of writing something original. When you said that Blike was the cop - Office Krupke clicked, and I kinda went off on a tangent.

 

I do think that writing a takeoff on something that is accessible to everyone would be easier than writing original stuff - especially with the limits of posting sound files, and "Westside Story" is something that we all can get access to, one way or the other.

 

Heck if this works, the SFN Players could go on - to "Grease", "42nd St." , & "Chicago".
