"Hungry Like The Rook", "Blame It On The Alakol"

So, I'm sure you've all played the game where you change the name  (or lyrics) to a song, book, movie - taking out one word and inserting the name of an anatomy part. (No? Ok, well, must have just been in my small, conservative, Alabama school) I want to Glitchafy this game! (It may be the pain meds talking, just go with it)

Examples:
Instead of "How to Lose A Guy In Ten Days" It's "How to Lose A Hogtied Piggie in Ten Days" 

Instead of  "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme" it's "Silvertongue, Rookswort, Rubeweed, and Gandlevery"

Instead of "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" it's "Thank Pot I'm a Kajuu Boy" 

Last ones? 
"My Too-Berry Shake brings all the Glitches to my yard..." 
"I like big quoins and I cannot lie!"
 (Sorry, I had to...haha ;) 

What can you make up?

  • I met her near a vendor down in Newcot Close
    Where you pick bubbles and they taste just like
    Spice granola, just like spice granola...

    She walked up to me and she asked to help mine.
    I asked her where, and in a Freeqish voice she said
    "Bertola. Let's go to Bertola, beautiful Bertola..."

    ETA: and that one was The Kinks' "Lola"

  • g33k, "sweet corn" is my favorite faux-curse.  A friend introduced me to it and I can't stop.

  • @jasbo awesome new phrase for me.

    My fave -- duck shot 

    Came from autocorrect on someone's iPhone of the real curse words.

  • I'm your rocky friend,
    I'm not your only friend,
    But i'm a little rocking friend,
    But really I'm not actually your friend,
    But I am

    Rockfriend on the top of your Glitchscreen,
    Who watches over you,
    A little Rock friend for your goals,
    Not to put to fine a point on it,
    Is that NoNo in yer pocket?
    A little rock friend for your goals?

    I have secrets to tell
    From my Urbased well
    Its a simple message not one with whistles and bells
    So you must listen to me
    Contemplate emblems vigilantly
    My name is Rock friend one not spelt dullite
    My stories are agitation
    Like the Giants imagination it doesnt rest

    Rockfriend on the top of your Glitchscreen,
    Who watches over you,
    A little Rock friend for your goals,

    I'm your rocky friend,
    I'm not your only friend,
    But i'm a little rocking friend,
    But really I'm not actually your friend,
    But I am

    Theres a picture opposite me
    Of your primative ancestry
    You danced in Baquala harvesting every tree
    Tho I respect that a lot
    I'd be fired if that were my job
    For killing bean and countless spice trees off
    A Rook attack is always near
    But with a Rock around you need not fear

    Rockfriend on the top of your Glitchscreen,
    Who watches over you,
    A little Rock friend for your goals,
    Not to put to fine a point on it,
    Is that NoNo in yer pocket?
    A little rock friend for your goals?

    And while your at it keep the rockfriend inside
    to help ya get yer goals (oh if only it were so :P)

    Not to put to fine a point on it,
    Is that NoNo in yer pocket?
    A little rock friend for your goals?

    Rockfriend on the top of your Glitchscreen, And while your at it

  • Kiss Reset goodbye,
    The sweetness and the sorrow.
    Wish me luck, the same to you.
    But I can't regret
    What I did for Pot, what I did for Pot.
    Look my eyes are dry.
    The Glitch was ours to borrow.
    It's as if we always knew,
    And I won't forget what I did for Pot,
    What I did for Pot.

  • Yesterday
    A new beginning seemed so far away
    Now it looks as though it's here to stay
    Oh I can't wait for restart day

    Suddenly
    I have half the life I used to see
    There's a pickle that's awaiting me
    Oh restart day, come soon to me

    Why we start so low
    I don't know, the devs don't say
    I'll just go play pong
    while I wait, for restart day

    Yesterday
    Glitch was such an easy game to play
    Now I need a place to bide away
    The terrible wait, for restart day

    Sha la la lala lalala

    A new game day is dawning
    But we can't play and so we're mourning
    Oh how we long to be there
    With Senor Pickle who's waiting for us there
    Every twitchy Glitchen

    ha ha ha ha ha

    Is checking 'just in case'

    ha ha ha ha ha

    And we'll only be happy, if we can start our leaderboard race

    Please let us in to Groddle Meadow
    All day long we've been hitting F5, so
    Please let us in to Groddle Meadow
    Where Senor Pickle waits for us.

  • Reset time.... time for us to go out, go out into the world...
    Reset time... Party down in hell with every boy and every girl...
    Reset time... one last time for Alokol, so finish your hooch and beer...
    Reset time... You may like your items but they cant... stay... here...

    I know where I want to buy my home
    How will I save enough to buy my home?
    I hope nobody happens to buy my home
    Buy my home.....

    Reset time... time for us to go back to the places we used to go...
    Reset time... This test won't be open 'til the developers make it so...
    So play around in the wardrobe...
    Try on different hats...
    I hope you'll show off, my friend...
    Reset time... every new reset comes from some other reset's end...

    Yeah I know where I want to buy my home
    How will I save enough to buy my home?
    I hope nobody happens to buy my home
    Buy my home.....

    Reset time... time for us to go back to the places we will call home...

    I know where I want to buy my home
    How will I save enough to buy my home?
    I hope nobody happens to buy my home
    Buy my home.....

    Reset time... every new reset comes from some other reset's end...

  • To the tune of I believe -

    I believe, for every single Dev that shows
    A bug is squished...

    I believe for every Glitch that waits and waits,
    A prayer is wished...

    I believe for everyone who waits today,
    Knows Glitch will open, come what may,
    I believe, I believe...

    I believe, above the Rooks cry our pleas,
    Will still be heard...

    I believe, that Giants in the great Glitch world,
    Hear every word...

    Everytime I read a  Dev forum post,
    Have them explain what matters most,
    Then I know why, I believe!

    I believe, above the Rooks cry our pleas,
    Will still be heard...

    I believe, that Giants in the great Glitch world,

  • Give me a home where my piggies can roam,
    and my chickens and butterflies play
    where cubimals race and friends can embrace
    And the rook always stays far away.

  • Have a holly jolly New Test, Its the first one since reset
    I don't know if there's no-no, but drink a can of beer!
    Have a holly jolly New Test, and when you're on Groddle Streets,
    Say "Hello" to friends you know and nibble piggy meats!
    Oh ho that damned Closed sign, hung so we can't play
    Some Glitchen wait for you, we just want in you'll see!

    Seriously... just want in.... SO CLOSE!

  • I posted this in the Glitch Filk group before I remembered this thread.  So I thought I'd share with a wider audience.

    This has been running through my head with about a dozen others as well.  I claim no ownership of the original song, but do believe that the fair use doctrine of parody covers my work below...

    I like to think the Monkees would appreciate it at least.  Click the link for their tune on youtube.

    Groddle Valley Sunday lyrics

    by Gerry Goffin & Carole King (warped by TJ Fuzzybutt Esquire)

    25 Glitchen on this street
    Have got a Conga going on,
    Have you seen Butterfly King
    Who has 10 piggies on his lawn.

    Another Groddle Valley Sunday,
    Chickens squawking everywhere,
    Rows of houses that are all the same,
    And no one seems to care.

    See Flurglnurph, shout from the roof,
    Because her Purple are in bloom,
    The NoNo scene, its so serene,
    Got Music Blox in every room.

    Another Groddle Valley Sunday,
    Here in Giant Symbol Land,
    Miners complain about how hard rock is,
    And the noobs just don't understand.

    But for my short term goals, the big house in Alakol,
    Convincing Stoot we need some Bees.
    With bars across their chest and o'er their cuckoo's nest
    Thank Tii a Glitchen never pees...

    Ix Ix Ix Ix, Ix Ix Ix Ix... (etc.)

    Another Groddle Valley Sunday,
    Nekkid Glitchen everywhere.

    Another Groddle Valley Sunday,
    Here in Giant Symbol Land.

    Another Groddle Valley Sunday,
    (A Groddle Valley Sunday)

    Another Groddle Valley Sunday,
    (A Groddle Valley Sunday)

    (fade out)
