    Down amongst the toy aisles where the plastic boxes nap
    You'll find old dolls and bears and bikes and this year's tie-in crap
    Designs of old are re-imagined, new ideas abound
    But there is one that captures me the moment that it's found

    Well, some kids go for action figures, dolls and human types
    While others buy whatever this year's TV schedule hypes
    And some like cars or trains or cranes or robot dinosaurs
    But me, I want the toy that's all of this in one, and more!

    The toys I like are characters from movies and TV;
    They're aliens, they're robots, and they've soldiers' weaponry
    They have a million gimmicks, they've got movement, lights and voice
    And when you're done, they then become all other kinds of toys!

    Just fold their arms and bend their legs; then twist them at the waist
    Their limbs fold back, their heads retract, their details unencase
    And where there was a action figure, now there sits a plane,
    Or truck or car or dinosaur or spaceship, base or crane!

    There's clever engineering in those robots from the sky
    A huge assortment; always there's another 'bot to buy
    They'll turn into your favorite shape, they'll change before your eyes
    They're all-in-one, they're massive fun, they're robots in disguise!

    So not for me your board games or your fuzzy teddy bear;
    No bike, no ball, no costume mask, no games of cards to share
    The all-in-one philosophy's a quantum playtime leap / down the
    Toy aisle, where the
    Plastic boxes sleep

    Come on friend, why don't we take a flight
    And all that Jazz
    Launch the Ark into the starry night
    And all that Jazz

    He's a Porshe-type car
    With a softer spot
    For the human race
    What an Autobot
    He'll give his all
    When he hears the call
    That's all
    That's
    Jazz

    From the dark of space to the plains of Earth
    It's always Jazz
    In the grounded ship with a mountain berth
    It's home to Jazz

    He's a saboteur who's into rock'n'roll
    With a voice like velvet over gold
    If it's Special Ops this robot tops the poll
    You know
    It's
    Jazz

    (Instrumental)
    It's always Jazz
    (Instrumental)
    It's always Jazz

    It's a plastic toy for every girl and boy
    And its name is Jazz
    He appears again in a comic book
    Yes, in it's Jazz
    It's a G1, G2, take a look
    Yes, it's still Jazz

    Oh, see him there on the cartoon screen
    He's a loyal 'Bot and a pun machine
    In the film he was eaten but he couldn't be beaten
    We love
    Live
    Jazz

    Oh he was there in Iacon, Season One
    It's always Jazz
    Up to Season Three, he was never done
    Always Jazz

    Show him where to park his fender
    He's a human cultural defender
    There's no doubt, so hear us shout it out
    We're all
    For
    Jazz

    Come on friend, you need a music break
    - So sayeth Jazz
    He's gonna play a Cybertronic mix of sound
    - It's DJ Jazz
    Forget the war, just get down and shake
    To all that jazz
    He's gonna pump it up and bring the ceiling down
    With all that Jazz

    Oh he can shimmy till your optics break
    Forever Jazz

    He's a Porshe-type car
    With a softer spot
    For the human race
    What an Autobot
    He'll give his all
    When he hears the call
    That's all
    That's
    Jazz

    Show him where to park his fender
    (G)1, G2, Alternator, Pretender
    There's no doubt, so hear us shout it out
    We're all
    For
    Jazz

    (Instrumental)
    ...Jazz!

    Yes, we're ever proud
    To proclaim out loud
    That we -
    Like -
    Jazz!....

    That Jazz!

    Could you please specify which tunes your filks are meant to be sung to? I gather your first one is sung to "I Still Call Australia Home" by Peter Allen, but the others I don't get. Thanks.

    "I Still Call Australia Home"
    variations on "To Anacreon in Heaven" (The Star-Spangled Banner)
    "Movin' Right Along" (Muppet Movie)
    "Poison" (Alice Cooper)
    More Than Meets The Eye (Transformers: The Movie theme song)

    more than a feeling by soundwave(G1)

    i woke up this morning and starscream was gone
    i listen to my music to start the day
    i lost ravage in a familar song
    i closed my eyes and i flew away

    its more than a killing *more than a killing
    when i hear that old gun blast away
    i begin destroying *more than a killing
    till i see megatron kill michael bay
    i see megatron killing michael bay

    So many bots have come and gunned
    Their lazers fade as the autobots die
    Yet I still reload and kill on
    As clear as my gun firing from the sky

    its more than a killing *more than a killing
    when i hear that old gun blast away
    i begin destroying *more than a killing
    till i see megatron kill michael bay
    i see megatron killing michael bay

    When Im out of ammo and cant reload
    I call for the sweeps, and send out rumble
    And watch as he sends tremors while im in the sky
    I closed my eyes and fly away
    i fly awa y. i fly away.

    ts more than a killing *more than a killing
    when i hear that old gun blast away
    i begin destroying *more than a killing
    till i see megatron kill michael bay
    i see megatron killing michael bay



    soo what do you guys think? too goriful? i could make up another if that ones too bad

    heres another
    wake me up before you go go waspinators version

    waspinator [4X]

    You put the boom-boom into my armor
    You send my head flying high when your shooting starts
    all this pain into my brain
    Goes a zap-zap-zap 'til i go insane
    But something's zapping you
    Something ain't right
    Megatron told me what you did last night
    Left me hanging from a thread
    I was dieng, but I should have killed with you instead.

    blow him up before you go-go
    Don't make him destroy me again oh no no
    blow him up before you go-go
    I don't want to miss you blowing him sky high
    blow him up before you go-go
    'Cause I'm not plannin' on fighting solo
    blow him up before you go-go
    Then take me blasting tonight
    I wanna hit them high (yeah, yeah)

    once the grey skies are out of my way
    You can then take on Doris Day
    Explosions brighter them flame
    My blasts per minute never been the same

    'Cause you're my leader, I'm really a fool
    It makes me crazy when you act so cruel
    Come on, master, let's go fight
    i wont get blown up and everything will be all right

    blow him up before you go-go
    Don't make him destroy me again oh no no
    blow him up before you go-go
    I don't want to miss you blowing him sky high
    blow him up before you go-go
    'Cause I'm not plannin' on fighting solo
    blow him up before you go-go
    Then take me blasting tonight
    I wanna hit them high (yeah, yeah)

    (waspinator)
    (waspinator)

    come on inferno lets not fight
    i hate getting blown up at night
    It's cold out there, but it's warm in the base
    They can fight, we'll stay away instead

    (waspinator)

    blow him up before you go-go
    Don't make him destroy me again oh no no
    blow him up before you go-go
    I don't want to miss you blowing him sky high
    blow him up before you go-go
    'Cause I'm not plannin' on fighting solo
    blow him up before you go-go
    Then take me blasting tonight
    blow him up before you go-go, Don't make him destroy me again oh no no
    Take me blasting

    (Boom-boom-boom)

    To the tune of O Canada*

    O the Beast Wars!
    Raging on ancient Earth!
    On Axalon by Maximal command.
    With glowing Sparks we see thee rise,
    From G1 and G2!
    Through time and space, O the Beast Wars,
    Animated by CG
    Our show did have, subtle dirty jokes
    O the Beast Wars, our figures can pose free.
    O the Beast Wars, we will remember thee.

    French** translation
    O les Beasties!
    Faire rage sur la terre antique!
    Sur Axalon par la commande Maximale.
    Avec les étincelles rougeoyantes nous vous voyons se lever,
    De G1 et de G2!
    Par le temps et le cosmos,
    O les Beasties, a animé par CG.
    Notre exposition a eu, des plaisanteries sales subtiles
    O les Beasties, nos jouets peut poser librement.
    O les Beasties, nous se rappellera vous.

    --------------------
    *cos the Beast Wars cartoon was made in Canada.
    **That's Canadian French too! Most of us remember that Beast Wars was called "Ani-Mutant" in most Francophone countries, but in Canada it was called "Beasties" (as YTV was uncomfortable with the use of the word "Wars" in the title of a children's cartoon )

    To the tune of Salva Nos (from the animé series "Noir")

    Dominus Primus Lord Primus
    exaudi nos et miserere Hear us and have mercy
    exaudi, Dominus Hear us, lord

    Dona nobis pacem Grant us peace
    et salva nos a Unicron And save us from Unicron
    Salva nos, Primus Save us, Primus

    Dominus exaudi nos Lord hear us
    Dominus miserere Lord have mercy
    dona nobis pacem Grant us peace
    Sanctus, Gloria Holy, glory

    Dona nobis pacem Grant us peace
    e dona eis requiem And give them rest
    inter oves locum Amongst this rejoiced place
    voca me cum benedictis Call me with the blessed
    Pie Vector Sigma, dona eis requiem Merciful Vector Sigma, give them rest
    Dominus Primus, Sanctus, Gloria Lord Primus, holy, glory
