Makuta Went Down To Mata Nui

[CaT in Rogue]

The comedy is a parody of the classic song, 'The Devil Went Down To Georgia'. (For best results, listen to the song while reading this.)

Enjoy!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Makuta went down to Mata Nui,

He was lookin' for a body to steal.

His plan was in a bind, 'cause it was way behind,

He was willing to make a deal.

When he came across this young Toa sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot.

And Makuta jumped upon a Madu stump and said "Hero, let me tell you what."

"I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player, too.

And if you'd care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you.

Now you play a pretty good fiddle, hero, but give Makuta his due.

I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul,

'cause I think I'm better than you."

The Toa said, "My name's Lewa, and it might be a sin,

But I'll take your bet; and you're gonna regret,

'cause I'm the best there's ever been."

Lewa, rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard.

'Cause Karzahni's broke loose in Mata Nui and Makuta deals it hard.

And if you win, you get this purple fiddle, made of gold,

But if you lose, Makuta gets your soul!

Makuta opened up his case, and he said, "I'll start this show."

And shadow flew from his fingertips, as he rosined up his bow.

And he pulled the bow across the strings,

And it made an evil hiss.

And a band of Manas joined in,

And it sounded something like this:

When Makuta finished, Lewa said, "Well, you're pretty bad, ol' son,

But sit down in that chair right there and let me show you how it's done."

"Lava on the Mountain." Run, Toa, run!

Makuta's in the Wahi of the rising sun;

Kahu's in the bread pan,

picking out dough.

Gaaki, does your Moa bite? No, Toa, no.

Makuta bowed his head, because he knew that he'd been beat.

And he laid that purple fiddle on the ground at Lewa's feet.

Lewa said, "Makuta, just come on back if you ever wanna try again,

I done told you once—you son of a Brakas—I'm the best that's ever been!"

And he played:

"Lava on the Mountain." Run, Toa, run!

Makuta's in the Wahi of the rising sun;

Kahu's in the bread pan,

picking out dough.

Gaaki, does your Moa bite? No, Toa, no.

... Drat. Now I'm imagining Bionicle: Country Edition.

 

In terms of actual C&C, the song/poem didn't flow very well in some areas due to syllable count. However, it did give me a good laugh.

 

Only major downside: I've now got Teridax playing "Baby" on the violin stuck in my head, thanks to you.

This remind me of my old Christmas Parodies from 2006 of the Old Forum.

Pretty good and I really like that you had this kind of idea, I believe it's a great way to express one's love for Bionicle in a creative way, however I do thin it needs a little more Bionicle references just like in the paragraph that says: "Lava on the Mountain." Run, Toa, run!"

 

Just some adjustments here and there and I think it will be awesome!
