Hi all! This is a thread for posting TF inspired song parodies, or maybe even original songwriting content!
Lets kick it off with Some Robot That I Used To Own which is a parody of Gotye's "Somebody that I used to know".
Here's some cheap midi music to read along to: http://www.free-midi.org/midi1/g/gotye-somebody_that_i_used_to_know_feat_kimbra.mid , and some lyrics:
I remember when I got you for my birthday
So excited that I felt that I could die
Way cooler than G1 Bumblebee
You came with so many accessories
Still I wanted all the other bots in the brochure
One can get addicted to the hobby called toy collecting
In poverty you will eat
Instant Ramen
So when I couldn’t pay my uni fees
Sold you to some guy from overseas
Just so I could get my silly qualifications……
But I never shoulda sold you off
That guy I sold you to did drugs and just
hocked you in for money.
I’d buy you back on eBay now
But the after-market prices
are so bloody rough
Why did I have to stoop so low
I could have found some other means to pay
For my education
I guess that I deserve it though
Now you're just a robot that I used to own
Now and then I think of the day you sold me over
Put me in a box with foam peanuts, boy that was fun…
Shipped me off as soon as you got paid
With a Cyberjet Air Raid.
Can’t believe you let us go
To some guy who hocked us in for cash so he could score some stupid blow...
I never shoulda sold you off
That guy I sold you to did drugs and just
hocked you in for money.
I’d buy you back on eBay now
But the after-market prices
are so bloody rough
Why did I have to stoop so low
I could have found some other means to pay
For my education
I guess that I deserve it though
Now you're just a robot that I used to own
A robot!
I used to own
A robot!
Now you're just a robot that I used to own
A robot!
I used to own
A robot!
Now you're just a robot that I used to own
I used to own
that I used to own
I used to own
A robot...
Now if someobody with some musical chops wants to actually perform the song with these lyrics, by all means go for it :D
