This Song is Dedicated to the Developers

So, since I can't log in to City at the moment, I thought I'd sit down and write a song parody. Yes, another one.

I was perusing the Issue 16 thread and saw some people complaining about what they wanted to see from Power Customization and that it "wouldn't be power customization unless EVERYTHING I want is in it!!"

Well, I thought about how the developers must feel reading that sort of thing. Aaaaand I came up with this song. This is from the perspective of the developers and you can picture them singing it at some karaoke bar.

(To the tune of "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls)

Yo, I’ll tell you what I want, what I really really want,
So tell us what you want, what you really really want
I’ll tell you what I want, what I really really want
So tell us what you want, what I really really want
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna,
I wanna really really really wanna everything now!

We want your input cuz it’s your game
But if you have some thoughts, try to keep ‘em sane
Now don’t go trolling if we don’t respond
Cuz a complete game rebuild would take too long…

I’ll tell you what I want, what I really really want
You won’t get what you want, what you really really want
I’m demanding what I want, what I really really want
I’m gonna, I’m gonna, I’m gonna, I’m gonna…
I’m gonna really really really gonna pitch a big fit!

If you wanna make suggestions, you gotta ‘least make ‘em real
You want an in-game pony, I mean come on what’s the deal?
If you wanna give some input, a PM must be sent
Asking is so easy, but it’s hard to im-ple-ment!

What do you think about that, now you know how we feel?
You ask for the impossible with unthinking zeal
You can’t be hasty, and ask for the world…
Cuz yer givin’ Castle migraines and BABs just hurled

Yo, I’ll tell you what I want, what I really really want
Don’t tell us what you want, what you really really want!
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna,
I wanna really really really wanna space station!

If you want customization, well we think that’s just fine
But you need to be patient, you’ll get it in due time!
If you want customization, we’ll start with some new hues
It’s a long term process, you have to pay some dues!

So here’s the game from A to Z,
You wanna play City?
You gotta listen carefully
We got BABs with a nack for plotting the attack
Castle, power master.. number crunching faster
I hear that Synapse is… stealin’ all our badges
Our lovely Avatea… Communal Mamma Mia!
Ghost Falcon our Producer… gag reflex inducer…
Our own Manticore … guru of in-game lore!
Then there’s Sexy Jay who clothes us every day!
Pohsyb plays with locks that keep him in his box!
Positron is the leader.. the viral rumor breeder…
We’ll jot your idea down and pass it all around
Jot your idea down and pass it all around

If you want to know the future, well baby that’s the thing…
We’d really like to tell ya, go scream at marketing!
If you want to make suggestions, we’ll listen to you
But we ain’t sayin’ nothin’… not until the next issue!

If you wanna make suggestions…

My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw

How could you have a parody of that song and NOT include the Zigga Zigg-ursky?

Great job!

I believe that a Kheldian Gold Standard should be based on SO's, and for anything above that... there's Platinum!

Steelclaw, you outdo yourself every single time. Brilliant.

Very clever.

I'd award you an intarnetz, Steelclaw, but at this point I'm just wondering where you store all of the ones you've won so far!

Fantastic! But next time you have to record yourself singing it to the music.

While I CAN sing... I am a bass... and bass doesn't work too well with a Spice Girls song... while I was singing it out loud to see how well the tempo matched I was even making myself cringe...

I may have permanently damaged my cat's ears.. I can't tell for sure.. he won't come anywhere near me now

[/ QUOTE ] You still should sing next time. I don't wanna hear it because it would be good, I wanna hear it assuming it would be horrible. But if you are good that would be ok too.

The difference between Steelclaw and the ask-whiners in his song? I don't want Steelclaw to stop what he's doing.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Bravo!!!! Well done!!!
