I am working on an arc which a series of musical parodies about the lives of my favorite people in COH, minions. I already have several pages of notes for Minions the Musical but I am always looking for betters ideas . If I use your song parody idea then I will add you to an encounter in the last mission listing the thank you's. To give you an idea of what I am doing here are a few of the many ideas I already had .

If I beat the Statesman (If I were a Rich Man)
Its not easy being Green (sung by the Trolls)
Oh my darling Superadine (Oh my darling Clementine)
Its a small crime after all (Its a small world after all)
Clockwork Man (Particle Man)

So if you have an idea for a song that would be about the every day life of a minion I would love to hear your ideas.

You might also spin that off the Beatles' Nowhere Man, but the line about 'making all his nowhere plans' might fit Nemisis better.

"Independence Port Town Races"

Port town ladies sing this song, Do-Dah, Do-Dah!
Port town zone is five miles long, all the Do-dah way!

Gwine to run all night!
Gwine to jump all day!
I''ll get through Indy maybe mid-July
If de Lusca don't get in my way!

"Oh, What A Fight (November 2002)"

Oh, what a fight! Late November back in oh-oh-two
All those Ritki bombing you-know-who!
I remember what a fight!

Oh, I
Got a funny feeling when they formed Omega team
Oh I
Bailed before I ended dead by Freem! (Free-eem, Free-eem, dead by Freem!)

Oh, what a fight! All them bosses mezmerizing me!
Couldn't stop them, I was level three!
I surrendered, what a fight!

I felt a rush when I earned my Clap of Thunder!
Scatted minions and the Tank cursed out my blunder!

Oh what a fight! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a fight! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit

(fade out)

I think I have it set up the way I want it.

Act 1 - Sewer Teams
Act 2 - Positron TF
Act 3 - Arachnos vs Longbow
Act 4 - Council & The Fifth Column
Act 5 - Rikti Invasion

It looks like I can work about six lines into a conversation. Here is a bit of silliness I came up with for Arachnos

The Arachnos Women they say are might fine
They give them mental powers and spider behinds
Oh I don't want no more of Arachnos life
Gee Mom I want to go home

Also you could have "Gee Officer Wincott" and Maria

Where's Steelclaw when you need him?


I know this is supposed to be for minions... but what about

"She Drives Me Crazy" - Fine Young Cannibals for Sister Psyche/Mother Mayem?

Well for the 5th and Council so far I have

Warwolves, Uh Huh, What are they good for, Absolutely Nothing Say It Again

and my tribute to Ubelmann the Unknown to the tune of Frosty the Snowman

Ubelmann the Unknown
Was a Jolly Happy Soul
With an army hat and some shiny boots
and some evil in his soul

Ubelmann the Unknown
never existed now they say
But the heros know he could come and go
and how he came to Paragon one day

There must have been some magic
in that time machine Ubelmann found
for when he placed it on his head
time began to dance around

Ubelmann the Unknown was alive as he could be
And Jim Bartlett did say Hey! He kidnapped me
Just the same as every NPC

Ubelmann the Unknown
Knew the heroes were coming that day
So he said You Swine!
I'll go back in Time
but he did not get away

Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Ubelmann go
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the time stream flow!

We're Gonna Start The Fire - Hellions

(That's parodying "We Didn't Start The Fire" if it wasn't obvious.)

He had it coming,
He had it coming,
He only had himself to blame!
If you had been there,
If you had seen it,
I'm sure you would have done the same!

OK only a few more days before I can fully use my hand from the car accident. I did manage to work out the names of the hostages. Ms Doe A Deer, Ray GoldenSun, Mia Name. Fa LongLong and the rest of the gang will be my musical hostages. I did want to put a cave mission in because the hatred of cave missions was one of the main topics of discussion for a long time.

One of the stranger things is when you think about the game and musicals you eventually get to the Rikti and how much they have meant to the game. For some reason I just keep seeing some Rikti Squads somewhere mentally sending Who :: Short Shorts and We :: Short Shorts. I blame onion sausage pizza before bed for that idea.
