ROCKSTAR (Paragon Version)

Okay, so Foxbase Alpha are back and loving it - had a team-wide 50 ding last night and we sat around requesting songs on Titan Gaming Radio. "Rockstar" by Nickelback was asked for by all, as it's an awesome tune... With DXP winding down and me being a little bored, I decided to do a remix for CoX! Enjoy!

[To the tune of "Rockstar"]

I'm seeing Miss Liberty for the very first time
I'm in Atlas Park, I'm here to fight crime
This toon might someday make a good level fifty

I wanna join an SG that has active members
It's June, I want a fifty by mid-September
Maybe farm a few levels if it starts to slow down for me

I need some salvage drops that a worth a million
Chronal Skip is rare? You gotta be kiddin'!
I wanna get something like a hami goo or prophecy

I want a new toon with good vet. rewards
Wanna be a moderator on the forum boards
Something close to Ghost or Bridger is fine for me

I'm gonna trade this drop for monetary fame
I'll even pay six pound to change my name

Because we all just wanna be big heroes
Six-slot attacks with damage IOs
The missions are easy and the prestige fast
We wear spandex as we kick some [censored]
And we hang out in Atlas Park
The same place we see at the very start
Everyone who levels will wind up there
See the girl who's golden with no moving hair
And...

Hey hey, I wanna be a Hero
Hey hey, I wanna be a Hero

I wanna be great like States' without doing the task force
I guess I'm gonna level up as a matter of course
Do a few missions so I can get the next power for me

Gonna dress to impress with my costume token
Don't fix Infernal's portal even though it's broken
Makes Maria's arc just that little easier for me

I'm gonna trade this drop for monetary fame
I'll even pay six pound to change my name

Because we all just wanna be big heroes
Six-slot attacks with damage IOs
The missions are easy and the prestige fast
We wear spandex as we kick some [censored]
And we hang out in Atlas Park
The same place we see at the very start
Everyone who levels will wind up there
See the girl who's golden with no moving hair
And...

We'll grind for hours just to level us all
From Skyway City to Founder's Falls
S-K a friend, go that extra mile
Everybody's got a farmer on speed dial
Now...

Hey hey, I wanna be a Hero

I'm gonna post on the forums to annoy the Devs
Every topic that you see is a pointless thread
The Forumites point out all the ways you're wrong
Gonna say to Recluse, "Can't we just get along?"

Because we all just wanna be big heroes

Some great lyrics. Loved it. Kept me awake for another half hour.

Win.

I must say, this forum does seem to be effusing a much higher quality of randomosity these days...

Brilliant! Love it! You get Cake.

Very nicely done!

.... but you posted in the wrong section!. This should be in Creative - I only mention it because it deserves to be able to be nominated if possible for creative genius.

Unfortunately, though nominatable, it won't be able to win, as I found out with the Rocky Horror Hero Show, as it's based on someone else's existing work. Great job though.

That's a bit unfair. There's still creative ability used. I bet if you looked hard enough you could find things that have inspired many of the greatest things.

I'm sure there is some philosopher who has stated that no one has ever had an original thought.

Still I guess The Law has something to do with it, and I'm sure our appreciation of this excellent work gives some pleasure. Maybe there should be a "Should Have Been in The Running" award.

But the cake is a lie!

Cookies for anyone who can guess what I bought today

OT: Nice, I'll have to find a copy of the song so I can see how they fit

Thanks all for the positive feedback - really enjoyed doing it! And ooooo! Cookies? Cake? If I'd known I'd get food for doing things like this, I'd have started long ago!

Seeing as I didn't do too badly with Rockstar, if anyone wants to request another tune for me to Paragonise, I'll happily give it a go

---

Fantastic work!!!

---

the urge to get some mates together to make a recording of this is almost to great.

good work
