This thread was inspired by user: Cosmo Yawn.
Lets all work together to make the song in Offtopic version. [b]Each person take a segment and do your best. I will post the best segments in order.[/b]
These are the lyrics:
[spoiler]I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead long live the king
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oh oh oh oh ohh oh [x5]
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world[/spoiler]
Viva La Offtopic(W.I.P)
[spoiler]I used to rule the Flood
Threads would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I browse alone
Lurk the groups I used to own
I used to roll the memes
Make the Ninjas everywhere scream
Readin' as the crowd shitposts
Now the old users are dead, long live Bungie
One minute I held the key
Next the forums closed down to me
And I realized that my old threads stand
On mountains of salt, they got me banned
I hear my notifications ringing
Lame ringtones are brightly singing
Be my alt, shitpost, and shield
Desticles comin' from a foreign field
For many reasons they can't explain
The Ninjas' bans all read my name
Hardly ever a worthy post
That was the Offtopic I loved the most
It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let Deej in
News of DLC beat like a drum
People couldn't believe what Destiny has become
Revolutionaries wait
For Ktan's head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who ever let Activi$ion be king?
[/spoiler]

I hear my notifications ringing Hamlet's antic disposition, singing Be my Lenny, my porch and wort My b8 posts left in a unfair court For some reason I can't explain Once you'd been banned there was never Never good posts, my bud And that was when I ruled the Flood I think Prince Ali did a good job.

This is -blam!-ing cringe dude

It was a really creepy 9 year old kid Who opened the party to let more in Piercing ear drums and the sound of moms People couldn't believe, what kids become Hunters, Warlocks, Titans wait For the kids to go away Just a squeaker with no other friends Oh who the hell would go be with them? I hear everyone in the party crying Adults can't stand it because they are dying Be my controller, console and headphones Mission to get rid of all the nerf posts For some reason they won't go away Retreat, fall back and go the other way Oh what the hell will we do? Stupid kids won't stop following you

If you want the final chorus can be a repeat like it is in the original song or it can be 3 different renditions of it.

Just saying fellas, don't put anyone's name in it. In 5-6 years time when it's on youtube, no one's gonna know who people like succ fish or Recon are.

Edited by Cazberry Pie: 6/22/2016 1:35:26 PMFor those making new verses- The most important part to make it flow well is make sure each line has the same amount of syllables corresponding to the line in the original song. "I used to rule Bnet" [b]does[/b] work because it has the same amount of syllables as "I used to rule the world" Unless, of course, you're saying it differently. I say it as "bee-net". Sing it like you would sing the original song. After you stop trying words that have too many syllables, you'll find it's much easier to make a smooth line. Just some words of advice. [spoiler]Also note- Grammar isn't as important in a song. If you need to edit out a "the", "are" or something like that to make it flow, go for it. If it makes absolutely no sense however, better think of something else.[/spoiler]

Edited by TheOnlyTrueNoob: 6/22/2016 12:04:31 PMI hear the gun hate posts a growing Shitposts and trolls are always flowing Be my Longface, my Lenny and Deej Desticles in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain Bungie won't hear me yell their name Better to take a stand But that was when I wouldn't get banned This is a changed version of Kazimierz III's idea

Edited by Kazimierz lll: 6/22/2016 1:44:52 AMI hear the gun hate growing Shitposts and trolls are flowing Be my Longface, my Trump and Deej Desticles in a foreign forum For some reason I can't explain I know Bungie won't hear my screams Better to take a stand But that was when I couldn't get banned Please help me out with this! I'm not a songwriter lol

Edited by LEGI0N of 0ne: 6/22/2016 3:15:08 PMI used to rule the Flood Follow and like when I gave the word Now in the evening I creep alone Creep the threads that I used to own I used to block the trolls Hear the laughs in my commenters' lulz __________ as the Flood would type "Destiny sucks, don't catch the hype" All the newfag spammers hate When I r8 their b8 0/8
-
"I used to rule bnet" flows horribly. Try "the forum" instead "bnet."
-
I hear the desticle salt a-pourin Bungie pegboy armies, defending Be my -blam!-, OP's a fag My post's always in a foreign tag For some reason I can't explain I know the ninjas will be my bane Hentai was worse than porn But that was when I ruled the forum
-
You need Recon Number 54 to sing the first verse. In fact, we should all collab in this by actually singing, then have someone autotune it.

Edited by cS Annihilate : 6/22/2016 3:09:03 AMOh man, I love this song. Anyways, bnet in the first line really doesn't flow. Edit: Oh man the memories.
