Just to make sure: is it mandatory (or at least widely recommended) to go for a MoM themed/related corruption of the original tune, or will more broad SWL themes be good as well? =)

It’s at least desired, Trichelieu :slight_smile: Not mandatory.

Oh whoops, for some reason I had it in my head that the close was the 15th. Guess I’ve done some prep-work for the next one, at least :stuck_out_tongue:

Greetings! o/
Here’s my entry for this year’s Merry Melodic Mashup!

To the tune of AC/DC’s T.N.T.:

See me blast out of my rocket
In the cold void of space
Out of all that I could get
Especially oxigen
Dreamers to the left of me
And Dreamers to the right
Ain’t got no bee
Ain’t got no luck
Don’t you pity me

'Cause I’m Orochi, I’m Shane Neweheart
(Orichi) and I’m about to die
(Orochi) I’m cannon fodder
(Orochi) watch me explode

I’m dirty, scared, and mighty depressed
I’m a condemned man
I helped destroy the Engine
Understand?
So say your prayers
Pick up your knife
Cry all your tears
And run for your life
The Dreamers are back in town
And we’re all going down!

'Cause I’m Orochi, I’m Shane Neweheart
(Orichi) and I’m about to die
(Orochi) I’m cannon fodder
(Orochi) watch me explode

Orochi, (oi, oi, oi)
Orochi, (oi, oi, oi)
Orochi, (oi, oi, oi)
Orochi, (oi, oi, oi)

Orochi, (oi, oi, oi), I’m Shane Neweheart
(Orochi, oi, oi, oi), and I’m about to die
(Orochi, oi, oi, oi), I’m cannon fodder
(Orochi), watch me explode!

Kallie:

Original song: The Music Of The Night, by Andrew Lloyd Webber

Original song source:

Andrew Lloyd Webber, Michael Crawford - The Music Of The Night1280×720 83 KB

Andrew Lloyd Webber, Michael Crawford - The Music Of The Night

Lyrics, as sung by Cynthia to Shane, perhaps in a dream…

Night sky harkens, strange communication
Mars the source and now your destination
Secretly I sent it, abandon your defenses
Helpless to resist, you must take flight
For I propose that you claim your birthright.

Slowly, gently, Mars awaits in splendour
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Seeing is believing, this madness is deceiving
Mars you’re destined, for its satellites:
Deimos, Phobos, moons of fear and fright.

Close your eyes for your eyes will only see the truth
But a truth based on what you want to see
With your scar it is easy to amend
Then the truth is what it ought to be

Softly, deftly, power shall caress you
Hear it, feel it secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let the tentacles unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the Dreamers in the night

Close your eyes
Start a journey to a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Close your eyes and let Dreamers become free
Only know that this was meant to be

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
Let the Dreamers in, let your darker side give in
To the power of the Old Ones trapped inside
The power to renew this Age tonight.

You alone can let the gods take flight
Help them wake anew and end this night…

2nd Place: Trichelieu! To get - Agarthan Machinist Outfit, Agarthan Wings, Intricate Fierce Glyph, 10 Gold Kaidan Keys

Congo-Gratulations to both!

Oh derp, I should know that to begin with, and since you’re the only other person I know actually submitted a song for the contest, I should have remembered. X)
Grats again mate!
And yeah, I wrote it to get it out of my head to begin with. =b
