Someone should sing this and make a youtube video to a bunch of blaster deaths. The more hilariously bad the singer, the better.
If I were on a computer with audio, I could look it up, but as it stands I have to confess that I am completely unfamiliar with the tune despite counting Queen among my favourite bands. 
Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be
-- The Fox and the Hound
*waves lighter around, notices it's not lit, lights blaster and waves it around instead*
Good to see you back, Steelclaw <3 Awesome filk!

The lyrics are surprisingly amusing when read by OS X's "Alex" voice. Even has reasonable timing.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Somebody needs to remind me to go to CapeCon next year. I'm in St. Louis now, so it wouldn't be so much of a chore to go...and I've started listening to The Cape over the last few weeks and all those karaoke songs (crappy recording quality notwithstanding) is definitely enough to make me want to go.

Very nice.
If you're looking for very bad singers to perform this for a video, I will gladly volunteer. I make no apologies for any bleeding eardrums caused by such action, however.

PS - Steelclaw, don't ever disappear that long again. I was absolutely convinced you'd left and I was now the sole voice for entertainment weirdness on the forums... a very daunting legacy to uphold, let me tell you.

[Guide to Defense] [Scrapper Secondaries Comparison] [Archetype Popularity Analysis]
In one little corner of the universe, there's nothing more irritating than a misfile...
(Please support the best webcomic about a cosmic universal realignment by impaired angelic interference resulting in identity crisis angst. Or I release the pigmy water thieves.)
Yeah... That about sums up the classic blaster.
Thank you for sharing! It is good to see you again, Steelclaw. *hug*
Heh... at first I thought someone had necro'd one of your old threads.
*grins*
Good to see you back at the wheel, cap'n!
Since they've started talking about revamping the Blaster I've had this song rattling around in my head. Generally, the only way I can get something like that OUT of my head is to finally write it all down, I've gone ahead and done so.
Since I had it all written down anyway I decided to share it here. This is dedicated to the old Blaster and all its little issues of supreme Squishy-ness.
To the tune of Queen's "Keep Yourself Alive"...
Well I chose to play blaster
But little did I know
That my health would soon hit max
At about three hit points or so
Well I’ve run a million missions
I’ve been on a million teams
Always the first to do face plantin’
At least that’s they way it seems
I’ve teamed with ‘leet Defenders
With their green numbers and buffs
They all claimed they were the best
I assumed they knew their stuff
But when the battle starts and mayhem falls
There’s panic in the ranks
Those Defenders leave me hanging
And focus on the Tanks!
Keep my pancake alive
Keep my pancake alive
I’ll give you all my freakin’ loot
To keep my health supplied
Well I’ve played with some controllers
The best they self-proclaim
Never let a team mate down
Self-made masters of the game
Inspired by villain silence
I jump among them deep
It is then that I discover
They weren’t held they’re just asleep!
Oh I’ve played with melee masters
Those Scrappers, Tanks and Brutes
Lookin’ large and so in charge
In their flashy spandex suits
Oh yes they’re rough and they are tough
And they can hit the damage cap
But they’ll soon give in to madness
And go agro half the map!
Keep my pancake alive
Keep my pancake alive
I’d rather play than face plant honey
Keep my pancake alive
Keep my pancake alive
Keep my pancake alive
Got more debt than XP sonny
So please keep my pancake alive!
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
