Our Fifth Cylon Song to BoxeyTheBoxed--Honor is fullfilled

Television, Movies Games and Books BSG-2003
#1

Ok folks, some of you may vaguely remember that during the Live Christmas Podcast, GWC’s own BoxeyTheBoxed issued a challenge (or order, or command…call it what you will) to me. He demanded that I come up with a cover song in theme of BSG and sing it for BSG Premiere Live Cast.
Well, I’m a man of my word, and I promised I’d meet his challenge.
I, naturally, enlisted the help of my Posse (Frakkintalos, Topgun and Lady D).
As it turned out there was far too much going on in that Premeire cast for Chuck to reasonably fit this song in. But Chuck just emailed me a moment ago, saying he will vouch for me that I did, indeed send him the song that night. So honor is fulfilled.

So with apologies to the Rolling Stones and Mick Jagger, here’s my song for Boxy sung to the tune of “Sympathy for the Devil”.

Note that FrakkinTalos, Top Gun and Lady D did 90% of the heavy lifting coming up with the lyrics. Me, I just sung the tune, with the help of a Karaoke version of Sympathy of the Devil in the background.

Feel free to laugh AT me and laugh WITH me on this. :slight_smile:


Here’s the MP3 of the song:

And here’s the lyrics:

Sympathy for The Fifth Cylon

[i][b]Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m the Final Cylon and skiffy made you wait
GWC’s been around for long hiatus
brought you many arcs of geekdom fame.

They went round with Star Wars
Matrix, Terminator and X-Men
Kept all you geeks satisfied
Unitl Galactica was on Again

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name (It’s Boxy! It’s Boxy!)
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game (It’s Boxy! It’s Boxy!)

Stuck around New Craprica,
Then we saw it was time for a change,
Killed some Basestars with Pegasus,
Cavil’s cronies Screamed in Vain.

The Poo-Barge stank
Helo pulled some rank
While Three slept in Goo
And Gaeta lost a shoe

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name (It’s Boxy! It’s Boxy!)
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game (It’s Boxy! It’s Boxy!)

I watched with glee
while the 1s, 4s, and 5s
fought the 2s ,6s and 8s
In a War of Hate

I shouted out,
who killed Natalie?
When afterall,
Athena wouldn’t hear her plea.

Let me please introduce myself
Only I know Galactica’s Fate
You haven’t seen me since the Miniseries
When Boomer’s Raptor Helped me Escape

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name (It’s Boxy! It’s Boxy!)
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game (It’s Boxy! It’s Boxy!)

(Instrumental part)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Let me please introduce myself
I’m the final cylon. Oh Yeah!
Ron Moore’s dropped clues, made you look like fools
And you’ll never guess anyway.

So if you meet me
Don’t try killing me
Like shooting Admiral Cain in the face
You know I can always just download
And come back and lay the Earth to Waste

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name (It’s Boxy! It’s Boxy!)
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game (It’s Boxy! It’s Boxy!)[/b][/i]

Thank You. And Thank You.
I was totally out of my element, but did it. I had to download a sound recording program, cuz I didn’t even have one.

alas, I have been given credit where none was due. the boys wrote this my first week back at school, and though I was invited to participate, I was too overwhelmed with work.

great job, guys!!

#6

Shhh, Lady D!!
We’re like the Beatles we work, and take credit as a team.:wink: (Do you want to be Paul or George?)

there’s a way to insert the lyrics in one of the mp3 tags; so that when you right click on the mp3 it’s all there… :stuck_out_tongue:

“Gaeta lost a shoe”
