Poll
Question:
What's your favourite KQ-inspired song?
Michelle had this great idea about the King's Quest Musical. But...it didn't take off. SO...it was such a great idea that it's now a contest! As she said, "Write a song that one character could be singing to another if King's Quest were made into a musical! It can be a parody or an original work."
Now, you can enter the song you wrote in that thread, or enter another! You MUST give the song a title, and if it's a parody, you need to tell us the tune. You have three weeks! Then one week of voting. And, the more creative, the better the prizes have been, so that might continue!

I need to know how many times you can enter. I'm not sure if I want to use my old one. Also, I have become CRAZILY busy and will mostlikely only be able to post on the weekends. :(

Since these are lot more difficult to write, I'd say multiple-entries are fine. Also, the contest has only been open for a few days, so you still have time. 8)
Yikes!! Writing songs is difficult...But I might be able to... :-\
Well, I'll see what I come up with...
Hey, all we ask is you try :) It's the fun of it. And, even if it's not the greatest or a little rough around the edges...if the forumers love it, you will always have a chance of winning :)
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yesterday was my birthday. This just makes me feel specialll. Thanks, koko.
Clean my desk
Clean my desk
And the chest
And the rest
hmmmmm....
Clean my desk
Clean my desk
Whatever you do make it shine like the best
In my bedroom that's my stuff -- Yes,
You should clean it but don't you touch
Just keep cleaning that mess, that's fine
But would you clean and not talk all the time?
And that's my cat that's in my lab
So pick up your rag
Don't you dare start to slack
Standing by the chickens cursing me
Right under your breath - thinking about
How life would be if you weren't a slave... YOU!
I'm so tightfisted...
You may not go to town
You may not go to town
I could turn your scrawny hind into butter
Matter fact flies go well with butter and gravy
You may not go to town
You may not go to town
I could turn your scrawny hind into butter
You foolish tiny ungreatful little kid you are so irresponsible!
So go ahead and eat foam
And fix me a meal don't let it cold
Oops, I bet you thought that I owned a stove
What did you think I was making you work for?
Cause you are my slave
Sneaking all around in my home - its not your cave.
Fool, you can't trick me hurry up get to the chicken feed
Standing in the back yard cursing me
Right under your breath - thinking about
How life would be if you weren't a slave... YOU!
Hey! That's my map!
You shall not know magic
You shall not use magic
I could turn your scrawny hind into butter
Matter fact flies go well with butter and gravy
You must clean the kitchen
You must dust my bookcase
I could turn your scrawny hind into butter
You foolish tiny ungreatful little kid you are so irresponsible!
Clean my desk
Clean my desk
Chicken breasts
Are the best
Clean my desk
Stupid pest
Whatever you do make it shine like the best
Clean my desk
Clean my desk
You foolish tiny ungreatful little kid you are so irresponsible!

Happy Birthday for yesterday!
Happy belated birthday, Michelle! So...what's the title to your entry? That way, we can just put the title to each entry when it's time to vote :)
I think it's "Irresponsible". :P
TSL Triple Feature
(The Day the Mask Broke)
King Graham was ill the day we lost our will
Connor told us it was planned
And Prince Alex was there in just his underwear
Rosella gasped and stared
Then, something went wrong, for Abdul and his throng
When the prince took matters in his hands
Then at a snail's pace, Wilco came from outer space
And this is what the airhead said:
T-S-L
Ooh, ooh, Ooh
Triple Feature,
Dr. Brain will build
Another creature
See Connor fighting
Ooh, ooh, ooh
No one, dammit
As he'll be sent to
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
A distant planet
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa-oh-oh
At the online, Triple Feature, KQ show
I knew there was a battle inside Mordack's castle
And Cedric was very nearly killed
And I really got shocked, when I saw MoE
Which was not in fact a true King's Quest
Prince Alex said, "Ooh!", gave us a moon
Rosella just gasped once again
But she's along for the ride,
this time, she'll be a bride
and we'll have some terrible thrills
At the
T-S-L
Ooh, ooh, Ooh
Triple Feature,
Dr. Brain will build
Another creature
See Connor fighting
Ooh, ooh, ooh
No one, dammit
He'll be sent to
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
A distant planet
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa-oh-oh
At the online, Triple Feature, KQ show
I will download
The online, Triple feature, KQ show
I hope it won't go slow
downloading the online, TSL, KQ show
Happy Birthday theroachyjay!! Best wishes. I hope you had a good one.
Good job. :D

Tessy is MIA :'(
I've been working on this while I've been gone. I have two songs, the first one being my old one "Eighteen Years With You":
Oh it'd be great to see my homeland
Live where you I don't have to hear
Just because I am compliant
Doesn't mean I'm not defiant
Quite frankly I've had water up to here
I've made meals to last a lifetime
I've been so scarred, almost killed
I'm intelligent, not half-witted
I'm determined, not uncommitted
I'll seek my fortunes once your heart is stilled
There's no future to be found here
No one would believe the tales
Of me growing much older
Which I won't, if this plan fails
I have seen the way the tide is turning
My time is almost through
I am on the ball, discerning
And thus my plan grew
I'll take my leave after
Eighteen years with you
I'll take my leave after
Eighteen, Eighteen years with you
One evening while you're dining
A special something will cut it short
Now at last I'll get my sweet revenge
For all the past wrongs, I will avenge
I have reached my final and last resort
There's no promise in your old words
It's a trick to keep me down
While you're gone and busy,
I'll take a trip to town
I'm going back to where I came from
Never mind I don't know where
All in all the point I've made is
I don't want to stick around
I'll take my leave after
Eighteen years with you
I'll take my leave after
Eighteen, Eighteen years with you
And, as I don't too many people know the original song "16th century man", I made this.
My second one is just a quick one for Rosella, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun":
I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear yes I'm a princess
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
All those calling princes give me a fright
My father yells when you gonna go an get wed
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
Some princes take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun...
Great job on both Tessy but I just love "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" :thumbsup:
I knew we had some creative forumers! Can't wait to see more entries!
Crispin! OH Crispin!
To the tune of "Angel of Music" from Phantom of the Opera
A duet between Cedric and Graham.
Cedric:
Where in this forest, could he be?
I'm supposed to help you!
Graham! Oh sir Grahm! I need to find you
if I don't I'll sing the blues!
Graham:
Crispin once spoke of an owl....
I used to think he'd be wise....
But when I first met this owl
I could tell by his eyes...
There is no way, this owl can help me!
I've been on quests before
If only he wasn't such a coward!
Not going through the town doors!
(as Graham is singing, unbeknownst to him, Cedric flutters down to a tree behind Graham and listens to his song.)
Cedric:
I'm sorry that's the way you feel
Dog's are dangerous; it's true!
But Crispin gave me a mission
And I will help you!
Graham:
Crispin! OH Crispin!
Why'd you do this?
I could be stopping
MORDACK!
Both:
Crispin! OH Crispin!
Won't you help me!
We just can't see
eye to eye! (Cedric: Actually, Graham, It's a monocle!)
Graham:
Just leave me now
Cedric:
But Graham!
Graham:
You cowardly owl
Cedric:
A snake!
Graham:
I'll take this path
Cedric:
Graham! Don't step there!
XD XD XD
Nice! ;D
Good one awesomeasapossum. ;D
Awesome, that's got my vote so far! ;D
Here's my old one, I have an idea for another one, but I've gotta finish it first...
Valanice sings while in the tower
"Untitled" to the song of "I Want it that Way" by the Backstreet Boys.
I know that it's awful...
Yeah
Locked in a tower
By a witch with power
My postcards I stamped
To tell mom it was cramped
A husband is all I want
Don't care if he is a runt
But I hope he's grand
The rest of my life holding his hand
[Chorus:]
Tell me why
Stuck in this awful place
Tell me why
Nobody loves me and my face
Tell me why
I'll hate towers the rest of my life
If only someone wanted a wife
A prince or other noble
An ad campaign that's global
I'm not desperate for a date
It's just this tower that I hate
[Chorus]
I see a mirror that I think I can use
to contact a fiance to be, yeah
I know it's worth a try
I've been in here for years
I just want myself to be free...
I see a man in a red shirt
My heart aches; it hurts
Is he here for me?
I'm so excited myself I did pee!
[Chorus]
Lol, awesome entries! XD I hope we have enough entries for more than one vote XD And thanks, Neil, for adding them to the first post :)

No problem. 8)
This sounds like such a fun idea, but I'm not sure that my creativity is up to the task, but even if I don't get around to entering, I do enjoy reading all of these.
Only about 6 more days before it's time to vote. Keep those entries coming! :D
Ooh...Lightning, just struck my brain....I got an entry coming soon. :-*
Edit: Not my entry, but I found this amusing. If you listen to the song "Bab's Uvula Who?" by Green Day and imagine it's about the Genie and his mint addiction, it's pretty funny.
Also, song contains "F" word :P
:D :D Me wants to seeeee!
lol! XD A couple more days, guys!
CONNOR, CONNOR, HE'S OUR MAN, IF HE CAN'T DO IT, NO ONE CAN!
GOOOOOO CONNOR! :sweetheart:
And... it's time to vote! :D
You have from now until September 11, 2007 to vote!
Crispin! Oh Crispin!
I guess this means PK didn't get to enter his. :(
Definitely A3P's Phantom of the Opera entry. :D
Gosh, I need to read through them again before I vote!
ACK! I've got two I want to vote for! But thankfully my vote went towards someone with the fewest, so now both the songs I love are in the running!
Oh shoot. I thought this went on longer, I missed the deadline. :( Oh well, I hadn't finished my song yet anyway
You could still post it though when you are. :D
Well I can tell you this much....It was about the catacomb on the Island of the Sacred Mountain and was to the tune of "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns and Roses ;)
And I don't know what to vote for yet, I'll have to think about it.
Welcome to the Jungle... good song!
CONNOR, CONNOR, HE'S OUR MAN... :sweetheart:
We'll have another contest soon! If I am not able to post it, I'll send it to Neil for him to :P He's been a great help with all my issues and AFK-ness!
I voted for Eighteen Years With You....Good luck Tessy :)

Thanks PK! ;D :)
When does the voting end?
Thanks, now that I read that I do remember that that was the day it ended.
EDIT: So....voting has ended?
Looks like you won! :D

Congrats Awesomeasapossum!
Congrats, A3P! :D
