Yeah, uh, that doesn't work, Luroka.

[Voxumo]

Yeah, uh, that doesn't work, Luroka.

What do you mean?

[Blessed Blade]

Each member has to post on their own, the results. You can't just lump all the answers together and make it work, nor can one member solve for the entire team, or I already would have done so.

ROUND 5 END

And so we are down to the final six players! After a lightning fast round of voting (where you silly people tried to eliminate Onarax a second time), Oryx has been voted out.

 

Please hold tight while the sixth round is prepared for you all.

 

ROUND 6

This round, your job as a team is to create a parody! You must create a LEGO-related parody to a song that is popular at the moment (as in Top 40), and that song must also be appropriate for BZPower. Once it is complete, both the original lyrics and the parody must be posted in the topic by any member of the team.

 

You have 2 days.

 

GO!

[Toa Kayn]

Do we need to make up the lyrics and sing it or just make up the lyrics?

[Voltex]

Just make up the lyrics. I'm not forcing anyone to somehow record an entire team singing a terrible parody. =P

[Toa Kayn]

Phew!

[Chro]

I can be consulted for my parody expertise

[Makuta Luroka]

I can be consulted for my parody expertise

I like you. You are my friend.

Parodyception (Don't care about the true meaning of Inception before anyone says anything.)

[Chro]

Or ask me, I paraded Spaceballs.

I don't think you understand what is going on here

[Voxumo]

Voltex where are you basing your top 40 list from? for i am finding several top 40 lists

[Voltex]

American Top 40

[Voxumo]

Ah good to know.. That helps.

[Chro]

I have written a few lines of Kolhii Ball (parody of Wrecking Ball) and Toa (Lorde's Royals)

Hopefully you all can do far batter

 

EDIT: I've finished writing Toa, let me know if you'd like to see it; I think I'll eventually post it under the assumption that neither team chose that song to parody and that in any potential future Versus games there won't be a round with this challenge.

Increasing time to four days, so you all have three more days to work on it.

Woo hoo!

Our song is Toa

 

 

I've never seen a real-life toa stone,
I used to dream about going on a big quest.
And I want a greater purpose,
In a boring world, with not enough interest.

But every story's like heroes, bad guys, goin' on some great quest,
artifacts, big fights, chroniclers to write them,
We weren't there, we're doing work safe and sound at home.
But everybody's like toa tools, toa teams, magical Kanohi.
Toa powers, destiny, becoming turaga.
We aren't them, we matoran can't be like them.

And we'll never be Toa (Toa).
It ain't our destiny,
That kind of fate just ain't for us.
We have a different kind of job.
Let me be your hero (hero),
Call me “Toa” anyway,
And maybe I'll save, I'll save, I'll save, I'll save.
Let me save the day someday.

My friends and I—we're getting bored.
We do the same thing every day, every year.
And in our hearts we know we want

Something more than this, we don't want to stay here.

But every story's like heroes, bad guys, goin' on some great quest,
artifacts, big fights, chroniclers to write them,
We weren't there, we're doing work safe and sound at home.
But everybody's like toa tools, toa teams, magical Kanohi.
Toa powers, destiny, becoming turaga.
We aren't them, we matoran can't be like them.

And we'll never be Toa (Toa).
It ain't our destiny,
That kind of fate just ain't for us.
We have a different kind of job.
Let me be your hero (hero),
Call me “Toa” anyway,
And maybe I'll save, I'll save, I'll save, I'll save.
Let me save the day someday.

Ooh ooh oh
We're so insignificant,
And I'm tired of hearing “You can't.”
Ooh ooh oh
Life is great for guys like them.
We matoran can't be like them.

And we'll never be Toa (Toa).
It ain't our destiny,
That kind of fate just ain't for us.
We have a different kind of job.
Let me be your hero (hero),
Call me “Toa” anyway,
And maybe I'll save, I'll save, I'll save, I'll save.
Let me save the day someday.

 

 

It is a parody of Royals, by Lorde

 

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh.
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies.
And I'm not proud of my address,
In a torn-up town, no postcode envy.

But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom,
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room.
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece,
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair.

And we'll never be royals (royals).
It don't run in our blood.
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler (ruler).
You can call me queen Bee,
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.

My friends and I—we've cracked the code.
We count our dollars on the train to the party.
And everyone who knows us knows

That we're fine with this, we didn't come from money.

But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom,
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room.
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece,
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair.

And we'll never be royals (royals).
It don't run in our blood.
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler (ruler).
You can call me queen Bee,
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.

Ooh ooh oh
We're bigger than we ever dreamed,
And I'm in love with being queen.
Ooh ooh oh
Life is great without a care.
We aren't caught up in your love affair.

And we'll never be royals (royals).
It don't run in our blood.
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler (ruler).
You can call me queen Bee,
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.

Just getting this out there: Malignus and I compared our songs, and they're very, very different. I had no hand in this one.

My version of Toa can be seen below.

I've never seen a Toa in the flesh
I cut my teeth in Po-Koro, fighting Rahi
And I'm not proud of my address,
In a worn-out town, near Kini Nui.

And Whenua’s like black feet, grey mask, came from Metru Nui
Thatched huts, lightstones, playing lots of Kolhii,
We don't care, we're riding Ussal crabs in our caves.
But everybody's like Kraata, Rahkshi, marks on your sundial.
Shadowed island, six Kanohi trials.
We don’t care, like a Gukko flying through the air.

And we'll never be Toa (Toa).
Life out here is rarely fun…
Teridax is oppressing us,
With Rahi mammals, fish, and bugs
“Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me Terry”
Makuta will rule (he’ll rule, he’ll rule, he’ll rule)
Because that’s his fantasy.

 

Nuparu has cracked the code.
Built the Boxor underground with Bohrok bodies.
And everyone who knows us knows

That we're fine with this,
Although they came from Avvies.

And Whenua’s like black feet, grey mask, came from Metru Nui
Thatched huts, lightstones, playing lots of Kolhii,
We don't care, we're riding Ussal crabs in our caves.
But everybody's like Kraata, Rahkshi, marks on your sundial.
Shadowed island, six Kanohi trials.
We don’t care, like a Gukko flying through the air.

And we'll never be Toa (Toa).
Life out here is rarely fun…
Teridax is oppressing us,
With Rahi mammals, fish, and bugs
“Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me Terry”
Makuta will rule (he’ll rule, he’ll rule, he’ll rule)
Because that’s his fantasy.

Ooh, ooh, oh, oh...
It’s bigger than we ever dreamed,
Here inside Mata Nui.
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh...
The Metru are Turaga here
Since they saved us from Matoran spheres.

And we'll never be Toa (Toa).
Life out here is rarely fun…
Teridax is oppressing us,
With Rahi mammals, fish, and bugs
“Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me Terry”
Makuta will rule (he’ll rule, he’ll rule, he’ll rule)
Because that’s his fantasy.

 

I'm not sure whose I like better, to be quite honest. MMM Nuva's had a bit more of a central theme and polished feel to it. In my defense, though, mine was written in about twenty-five minutes during school.

Here's the NKN's entry. The parody is about Takua in the movie, Bionicle: The Mask of Light

'Lift Me Up!'

Journeying through the darkness

Guided by a shining ma-ask

I can't tell when the adventure will end

and I don't know where to ask.

They tell me I'm too young to join the guard

They say I'm not for a tea-eem

Jaller's life will pass me by if I don't open up my mi-ind

That ain't fine by me.

So lift me up if I fall over.

So I'm wiser than an Olda.

All this time I was fighting myself

And I didn't show what it'd cost.

So lift me up if I fall over.

So I'm wiser than an Olda.

All this time I was fighting myself

And I didn't show what it'd cost.

I tried carrying the weight of the mask.

But I only had one friend.

At least I got to travel the world.

But the story had to end.

Wish that I could have this much fun.

Not afriad to stand and rise.

Life's a name given for the sun.

Makuta's reign is just lies.

So lift me up if I fall over.

So I'm wiser than an Olda.

All this time I was fighting myself.

And I didn't show what it'd cost.

So lift me up if I fall over.

So I'm wiser than an Olda.

All this time I was fighting myself.

And I didn't show what it'd cost.

Didn't show what it'd cost.

I didn't show what it'd cost.

I didn't show what it'd cost.

I didn't show (didn't show, didn't show)

'Wake Me Up' by Avicii original lyrics.

Feeling my way through the darkness

Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start

They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me


So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans

Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize


So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

Didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know (didn't know, didn't know)
