Super short entry, but set to tune of the Thundercats opening theme:

Bumblepups are on the move
Bumblepups are loose

Bumblepups are loose”

[HolloPoint]

Calliste:

Samael
Original Song: Doctor Jones

Lilith: Sometime in the first age
We met and fell in love
Power and terror so sweet
We were a force in the third age

Samael: Ki-sikil-lil-la-ke
Ki-sikil-lil-la-ke
Ki-sikil-lil-la-ke ah

Lilith: Now you’re a CEO
You’ve traded your power for wealth
Luxury has made you so soft
I’ve never felt more alone

Samael: Lilith I’m in love with you

Lilith: I want you by my side

Samael: And I know you love me too

Lilith: Let’s subjugate

Samael: I think about you everyday

Lilith: Come rule the world with me

Let me sell those guns

Lilith: Samael, hun, calling Samael
Samael, Samael, come back now (rule with me)

Samael, hun, calling Samael
Samael, Samael, come back now (rule with me)

We could have conquered the Dreamers
Fine! I’ll betray you instead
You left me with no other choice

Samael: Lilith I’m in love with you

Lilith: I want you by my side

Samael: And I know you love me too

Lilith: You didn’t stay

Samael: I think about you everyday

Lilith: We could have ruled the world

Samael: But profiteering’s much too fun
Let me sell those guns

Lilith: Samael, hun, watch me rule the world
Samael, Samael, I’ll conquer (without you)

Samael, hun, watch me rule the world
Samael, Samael, I’ll conquer (without you)

Leogrim:

Here my merry melodies entry:
Based on Legends never Die (feat.Against the Current) a song produced by the Riot (League of Legends) Music team

Title: Legend never dies

[Intro]
Legend never dies when your faction is callin’ you
Can you hear them calling on your phone?
Legend never dies, you become a part of it
Every time you die for saving goodness
Relentless you revive

[Verse 1]
They never lose hope when everything’s dark
And the fighting’s near
It’s deep in those bees
They’ll run into tokyo when the filth is fierce
Oh, pick yourself up 'cause

[Chorus]
Legend never dies when your faction is callin’ you
Can you hear them calling on your phone?
Legend never dies, you become a part of it
Every time you die for saving goodness
Legend never dies

[Verse 2]
They’re written down in the ages
But you’ll never see the price it costs – the scars collected all their lives
When everything seems lost, they pick up their weapon and repel the end
Steeled their hearts, they suffer through harm just to dispell the dream
Oh, pick yourself up 'cause

[Chorus]
Legend never dies when your faction is callin’ you
Can you hear them calling on your phone?
Legend never dies, you become a part of it
Every time you die for saving goodness
Legends never dies

[Bridge]
When gaia is callin’ out your name
Transmitting you to fight
Pick yourself up once more
Pick yourself up 'cause

[Chorus]
Legend never dies when your faction is callin’ you
Can you hear them calling on your phone?
Legend never dies, you become a part of it
Every time you die for saving goodness
Legend never dies

Silevran

We’re Morninglight
(to the tune of ‘We are the World’)

There comes a time when you’re feeling all alone

You’re afraid and trapped in a cycle of pain

Well, what if we told you

That there’s a better way to live

You can have it all

Do not ignore the voices in your head

Whispering, “Come and seek us out”

We are all a part of the Dream’s big family

And the truth, you know

Sunlight is all we need

[Chorus]

We’re Morninglight

We’re made of stars

We are the ones who make a brand new dawn

So let’s keep smiling

There’s a choice we’re making

We’re eating the sunlight

It’s true we’ll make a brand new dawn

Just you and me.

Spread the word out to everyone around the world
So the truth will set their bodies free

We need to help them to open hearts and minds

And then together, we can all embrace the light

(Repeat Chorus)

There are those out there that seek to destroy us all

But if you just believe there’s no way we can fall

Well, well, well, well

Let us realize, oh, that they can’t destroy the Dream

When we stand together as one

(Repeat Chorus) X 9

[HolloPoint]

LordofNothing:

Song:

I’ve got to be honest
The filth is here
The forth age is done and that’s OK
There’s somewhere beyond this I know
The endless expanse of worlds to see.

Never again no
No never again

'Cause you’re a Bee
And we will see
And I just thought
You’d fight it back
You’re a Bee
Not from Orochi
Climb the tower
And watch it crack

We went through the isles
Cast Beumont down
Its still troubling to see the secrets kept from us
All under the table so
I wonder if we will ever shine the light

Never again no
No never again

'Cause you’re a Bee
And we will see
And I just thought
You’d fight it back
You’re a Bee
Not from Orochi
Climb the tower
And watch it crack

I’ve got to be honest
The dreamers wake
The morninglight burns and all’s not done
There’s one more adventure, I know
Lets spread our wings and fly away from here.

Never again no
No never again

'Cause you’re a Bee
And we will see
And I just thought
You’d fight it back
You’re a Bee
Not from Orochi
Climb the tower
And watch it crack

[HolloPoint]

Kallie:

Here’s my passably-complete Secret World take on A Whole New World from Aladdin, from the perspective of the Gatekeeper to the player.

I present, for your perusal, A Dark New World.

I can show you a world
Writhing, shimmering splendid
Tell me, sweetling, now when did
You last see us compromised?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over branches and under
On a cross-time enterprise?
A whole new world
A new and drastic point of view
No one to tell me no
Or where to go
Not even the Dreamers.
A whole new world?
A dazzling place I’d never see!
But when I’m dragged in here
It’s crystal clear
I’m bringing you a fresh Anima source
It’s totally safe to come to me of course
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Lonely, helpless, believing
Gaia hasn’t fully died?
A dark new world (I can’t be sure you’ll survive…)
A hundred percent mortality? (Still running that through my processor)
You’re like a fading star
You’ve come so far
You can’t go back to where you used to be
A dark new world ( Losing faith all the time )
With no horizons to pursue ( Every word, sounds no better )
I’ll chase you anywhere
No time to spare!
Let me share this dark new world with you
A dark new world ( A dark new world? )
That’s where we’ll be ( That’s where we’ll be?! )
A thrilling chase
A scary place!
For you and me

[HolloPoint]

Trichelieu:

(to the tune of Jailhouse Rock)

“Gatekeeper threw a party in the hollow tree
The Big Three band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumpin’ and the joint began to swing
You should’ve heard them buzzing sweetlings sing
Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock
Everybody in the Agartha
Was dancin’ to the Gaian Rock
Richard Sonnac played the tenor saxophone
Mad Daimon was blowin’ on the slide trombone
The drummer girl from Manhattan went crash, boom, bang
The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang
Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock
Everybody in the Agartha
Was dancin’ to the Gaian Rock
Sally Army said to Speedy Sally
You’re the cutest vendor I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the Gaian Rock with me
Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock
Everybody in the Agartha
Was dancin’ to the Gaian Rock
Emma was sittin’ on a crate of drone
Way over in the corner weepin’ all alone
Gatekeeper said, hey, missy, don’t you be no square
If you can’t find a partner use the teddy bear
Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock
Everybody in the Agartha
Was dancin’ to the Gaian Rock
Kenememtin said to Jack, for heaven’s sake
No one’s lookin’, now’s our chance to make a break
Jacky turned to Kenem and he said, nix nix
I want to stick around a while and get my kicks
Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock
Everybody in the Agartha
Was dancin’ to the Gaian Rock
Dancin’ to the Gaian Rock
Dancin’ to the Gaian Rock
Dancin’ to the Gaian Rock
Dancin’ to the Gaian Rock”

[HolloPoint]

Now this will be difficult

I’m going to have a few beers and listen more to the songs with the music, the compositions and creatively changes are fabulous for each one

I should have a decision in a few hours. Thanks to all who entered the competition!

[Trichelieu]

I will say this now: we need official versions of all of those. ALL OF THEM!

[HolloPoint]

I’ve just been adding from YouTube and Vevo the official songs to each entry, dunno if you caught the edits, Trichelieu

Some have me crying a bit lol, some have the old chi-shivers going for me, some bring back a lot of memories and others just make me laugh with the audacity of the lyric changes and the tone/situation of the song

[HolloPoint]

I’m just double and triple checking to make sure I have everyone.

[HolloPoint]

Bumblebread: This really brings back the memories, like “Dad, I’ve had my meat can I have my pudding” (lol) as we watched this Sunday afternoon cartoon time.

Calliste: Really great adaptation of lyrics and it would be really funny to see Lillith and Samael singing to each other like the video, hahahahaha. Excellent entry!

Leogrim: Epic song, great lyrics, had me going with the engery shivers to a massive extent!

Silevran: Hahahaha, nice one, just imagining this belting out for morning motivations over the tannoys in the morning light camp. Great lyric adaptations again

LordofNothing: Really great song, laid back, mellow and really well done on the lyric changes.

Kallie: Brilliant transposing to the gatekeeper/new player perspective. Again great lyric changes!

Trichelieu: Excellent track to basic your creation on… really had a great flow to it and the lyrics had me burst out laughing at points

I wish I knew some people who could turn them all into real songs

I will have a decision in an hour or so

[Trichelieu]

Well, as I said, I really could see Ricky singing this one…

[HolloPoint]

OK, here it goes then:

1st Prize: Trichelieu for “Gaian Rock” - Petru Agent, 1 Intricate Fierce Glyph, 10 RED Kaidan Keys
2nd Prize: Calliste for “Samael” - Agarthan Machinist Outfit, Intricate Fierce Glyph, 10 Gold Kaidan Keys
3rd Prize: Silevran for “We’re Morning Light” - 30 Purple Kaidan Keys, Intricate Devastating Glyph

Each placed winner will receive a Three Filth Moon T-shirt from Funcom.

Really great work by everyone, I wish I did not have to single only three out. Many thanks folks!

[Trichelieu]

Grats to everyone, all the songs were awesome!
