Well I’ve judged the song lyrics sent in and damn, some brilliant interpretations we have. It’s a really tough choice to be honest. Hmm… takes sip of whisky okies… I’ll post the songs first I suppose:
From the irrepressible Thing-Fish:
DONT YOU WANT ME ( HUMAN LEAGUE ) ADAPTED
Don’t Be A Templar Baby
You were workin’ for the jingo clan,
in susanoo’s bar,When I met you
I sussed you out, I shot you up and turned you from Red
Turned you into someone blue
Now five years later on
you’ve got agartha at your feet
Being Illumi has been so easy for you
But don’t forget, it’s me who pulled you from Kaidan’s Filth
but I can put you back in it too
Don’t, don’t be a Templar?
You know I can’t believe it
When I hear that Richard Sonnac wont see me
Don’t, don’t Be a Templar
You know I don’t believe you
When you say that Kirsten Geary Doesnt need me
It’s much too late to find
You think you’ve changed your mind
You’d better change it back or we will both be sorry
Don’t Be A templar, baby?
Don’t Be a Templar, ohh?
Don’t Be A templar, baby?
Don’t Be a Templar, ohh?
I was working for the Jingu clan
In Susanoo’s Bar
That much is true
But even then I knew I choose The faction I liked
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love Blue
But now I think it’s time I must turn Temp on my own
I guess it’s just what I must do
Im Turning Templar Baby
I know you wont believe it
When you hear that Richard wants to See me
Im Turning Templar Baby
I know you wont believe it
That I gotta shoot down Kirsten geary
It’s much too late to find
I think i’ve changed my mind
I wont change it back
or be sorry
Im Going Templar , baby?
Going Templar, ohh
Im Going Templar , baby?
Going Templar, ohh?
Im Going Templar , baby?
Going Templar, ohh?
Im Going Templar , baby?
Going Templar, ohh?
Im Going Templar , baby?
Going Templar, ohh?
Im Going Templar , baby?
Going Templar, ohh?
Im Going Templar , baby?
Going Templar, ohh?
Im Going Templar , baby?
Going Templar, ohh?
From OddManOut:
This little Winter gem will warm even the chilliest of hearts over your Solstice Celebration of Choice and is a perfect fit for the annual Winter festivities all throughout the Secret World.
To the tune of Frosty The Snowman:
Frost The Hitman
Was a psychopathic soul.
With a corncob pipe
And a button nose
And two eyes burning red as coals!
Frosty The Hitman was a Horror Tale they say!
He was made of Yellow Snow
But the Children know
How he came to life one Day!
There must have been
Some Madness in
That rusty old Ax they found!
For when they placed it in his Claws
He began to lurch around!
Oh, Frosty The Hitman was Undead as he could be!
And his Victims say
He would laugh and Slay!
As he runs down you and me!
Choppetty Chop Chop!
Choppetty Chop Chop!
Listen to Frosty roar!
Choppetty Chop Chop!
Choppetty Chop Chop!
Over the mounds of Gore!
From Cognizance:
TSWake me home, a warping of John Denver’s ‘Take me home’
By Amalie ‘Cognizance’ Sinclair
Not quite heaven, Kingsmouth County
Blue ridge mountain, Miskatonic river
Dreams are old there, older than the trees
Hiding under mountains, a lullaby of bees
Dunwich road, take me home
To the place I belong
Kingsmouth County
Solomon Island, take me home
Agarthan roads
All these mysteries, gather round her
Lady Margaret, covered in red seaweed
Dark and filthy, watching from the sky
Static taste of 3AM, dripping from my eyes
Desert roads, take me home
To the place I belong
al-Merayah
Hidden city, take me home
Snowy roads
I hear her voice in the sleepless song she sing to me
Radios reminds me of the dead far away
Fight’in in the room I get a feeling
That I’ve got some place to go, oh, Tokyo, Tokyo
Filthy roads, take me home
To the place I belong
Kaidan District
Orochi Tower, take me home
Secrets roads
Chosen roads, reap what you sow
There’s a place I belong
Ealdwic borough
London Calling, take me home
Limelight roads
Take me home, down secret roads
Take me home, down secret roads
From Gaem:
Cairo Train
(Original: Soul Asylum – Runaway Train)
Call me up in the middle of the night
For a very long but easy fight
You were talking about what I could gain
Next thing I know I’m speeding on a train
So tired of killing atenists
So many of them only use their fists
Promised myself I wouldn’t grin
But it’s really hard to keep it in
They just seem so hard to find
But no lore will be left behind
This time I will really gather all of them
Cairo train never gonna stop
Not unless I blow the engine up
It shouldn’t take this long to get there
Somehow it seems to take forever
Can you stop, mister Abdel Daoud
Running after you makes me tired
Why on earth can’t he drop that shotgun
Kill him fast and we finally get this done.
I can go on top of the train cars
I can jump over the railroad signs
Now I’m hanging on the side on a rail
Without a ticket on the Cairo train
Everything is linear
No end to it, as I get near
Somehow I… want to ride that tank
Cairo train never gonna stop
Not until I blow the engine up
It shouldn’t take this long to get there
Somehow it seems to take forever
Started mission and I’m not going back
Forever staying on the endless track
Bag is full, so visiting Agartha
No way, I have to do this for the Marya!
Cairo train never gonna stop
Not until I blow the engine up
It shouldn’t take this long to get there
Somehow it seems to take forever
From Leogrim:
Mod, Check!
GM, Check!

Ohh (laughs)
Now, where were we?

“Dungeon-DABS”
By Jingi
D U N G E O N!
Dungeon-DABS!
Ah we can DABS if we want to, we can leave your party behind
Cause your party don’t DABS and if they don’t DABS
Well they’re no party of mine.
I say, we can go where we want to, a dungeon where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave Agartha far behind,
And we can DABS.
We can DABS if we want to, we can leave your party behind
Cause your party don’t DABS and if they don’t DABS
Well they’re no party of mine.
I say, we can go where we want to, a raid where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave Agartha far behind,
And we can DABS.
DABSs!
Ah we can queue we want to the night is young and so am i
And we can dress real neat from our bunny-hats to our monster-feet
And surprise Lurker with the victory cry.
I say we can buff if want to if we don’t nobody will
But please don’t act like a rude dude and have DABS totally removed
So I wont look like a DPS imbecile.
I say we can DABS, we can DABS every boss out of control
We can DABS, we can DABS we’re doing it wall to wall
We can DABS, we can DABS everybody look at your health
We can DABS, we can DABS everybody takin’ the wealth.
Dungeon DABS
Oh well the dungeon DABS
Ah yes the dungeon DABS

Katelin’s Warped Song:
Here is my warped destruction of The Beatles, “Please please me”.
Last night we headed to a dun-uh-un-geon
It was just E5, nothing har-aar-der
C’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon)
Cleave cleave me, whoa yeah, like I cleave you
We know that Klein don’t have the words, love
Why does he always have to tell us?
C’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon)
Cleave cleave me, whoa yeah, like I cleave you
Dodge the motes of Hekaturgist
But we know there’s always motes on our heads (from Herr Klein)
We do interrupting with you, Orochi dead O-ops
With you, whoah yeah, why is the chest not blue
Last night we headed to a dun-uh-un-geon
It was just E5, nothing har-aar-der
C’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon)
Cleave cleave me, whoa yeah, like I cleave you
(Me) Whoa yeah, like I cleave you
(Me) Whoa yeah, like I cleave you
And this song in pictures and words from Insein :
These are all bloomin’ brilliant folks…
