9/11: the musical...

Excellent job, Huntsman! Now all you have to do is get it to 8.5 minutes in length... :D
Click to expand...

My contribution to that 8.5 minutes:

And the three men I admired most,
Dylan, Jason and Korey Rowe.
They caught the last train for the coast,
The day the cash ran dry.
 
Okay, here's my attempt at a song. To the tune of Billy Joel's "Pianoman"

It's one o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd comes to shout
There's a tall man standing next to me
Giving facts to the troofers about

He says, "Why can’t you tell us the truth for once?
I'm not really sure you know how
But it's sad and it’s short, and of such great import
That I want you to listen, right now”

Tell us the truth, you’re the “truthseekers”
Tell us the truth today
Well, we’re all in the mood for some evidence
Why don’t you have something to say?

Now Mark, the tall guy, is an honest man
And he spends his time here for free
And he's quick on his feet, with the people he meets
But there's someplace that he'd rather be

He says, "Friends, I believe it is critical
To see lies of deniers debunked
I wish I could spend my time otherwise
But they just keep spewing this junk”

Now Dylan’s a failed film school applicant
Who never had much of a life
And he's talking with Korey, concocting a story
Designed to caused maximum strife
To the families and friends of the dead and gone
With their negligent “research” and lies
Yes, they’re sharing a cesspool of ignorance
Just to be “one of the guys”

Tell us the truth, you’re the “truthseekers”
Tell us the truth today
Well, we’re all in the mood for some evidence
Why don’t you have something to say?

Now Jason’s an all around sycophant
Who never had much of a clue
And he's following Jones, spouting Skull and Bones
New World Order, and oh yes, the JOOOOOOS

And there’s Alex, the practicing paranoid
Who sees Zionists under his bed
And he’s clutching a bullhorn and shouting his own porn
Whatever pops into his head

Tell us the truth, you’re the “truthseekers”
Tell us the truth today
Well, we’re all in the mood for some evidence
Why don’t you have something to say?

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the deniers rant, rave and shout
They come to Ground Zero, to disparage the heroes,
They forget what this place is about

The deniers, they think it’s a carnival
They think evidence is not required
To accuse heroes of crimes, as long as it rhymes
And to mock all the people who died

Tell us the truth, you’re the “truthseekers”
Tell us the truth today
Well, we’re all in the mood for some evidence
Why don’t you have something to say?

The public who might have been swayed before
Had the troofers’ lies not been exposed
Now get the true picture, without ranting lecture
From Mark, Abby, Ray, Kate and those
Who give up their free time so selflessly
To counter the ranting deniers
They tell the real truth, and show folks the proof
That the “truth” movement is full of liars.

(Reprise)
...
Now it’s four o’clock on a Saturday
Another week’s work has been done
I’m happy to say, at the end of the day
Another week’s war has been won

Hey! Thanks, Class and garnos. :)

I think we should all take on a verse of American Pie to get Huntsman's wonderful beginning up to the requisite 8.5 minutes... (love your addition, garnos!)
 
My contribution to the American Pie saga and its requisit 8.5 minutes:
(I tried to keep it in sequence with Huntman's original and just pick up the next verse)


Now for two years, we’ve been on our own
And we’ve been thoroughly trashed by Rolling Stone
But that’s not how we thought it would be.
In the old days, as we’ve heard it said
Anyone with zero cred
Could make up lies and still be believed
....


But....

(someone else, please continue)

But, while our team was looking around
The JREF brought our forum down
The topics were adjourned
No shill replies were earned!

And while Fetzer talks about plane parts
Loose Change FC filming starts
and we were chanting in New York
Cause we know, the guv'ment lied

We were chanting...

<chorus repeat>
 
To the tune of "Losing My Religion" by R.E.M.

Your lies get bigger.
Bigger each day,
and you disgust me.
The lengths that you will go to
to hold on to your lies.
Oh no, you've said too much.
You got it wrong.

[chorus]
Now you're stuck in corner.
You know that you're not right,
but it's like a religion.
No point in arguing with you,
but I know that I will do it.
It's like I'm talking Dutch.
I've had enough.
I find your ideas lacking,
They fail to prove a thing,
and you just told another lie.

Every whisper
of every waking hour,
you keep just asking questions.
Trying to prove you know the truth.
But you do it like a blinded fool.
Oh no, you've said too much.
You got it wrong.

Consider this.
Consider this,
the plot of the century
Consider this.
The slip - if you were right,
You'd be in jail.
What happens when your fantasies
come all falling down?
Now you've said too much.

But that's not reality.
That's not reality.

[repeat chorus]

But that's not reality.
Lies. Why? Why Lie?
That's not reality.
Reality, reality.

Excellent, Huntsman!

Next verse, someone? It's the one that starts with "Helter Skelter in a summer swelter" in the original version....

nudge nudge

(we'll get this to 8.5 minutes in no time :) )
 
Thanks, LashL and orhpia nay!

I've been trying to work on this but "Helter Skelter" is quite a pain to rhyme with anything!

I'll put my thinking cap on and see what I can do.

Agreed, it's a tough one... but Fetzer leaps to mind for some reason....and the "eight mile" and "fall out" references seem to be shoe ins for flight 93 at Shanksville, somehow.

Ohhh, yes! Fetzer!!! :D

It's like it was meant to be...

I thought "landed foul on the grass" gives us a good chance to take a stab at Killtowns "why isn't the grass scorched" crap.

Speaking of which, what happened with him? I know he got suspended but I haven't heard anything since. I'm bored of TS and Christophera.

Anyway, for anyone contributing, here are the original lyrics for the verse:

Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter,
Eight miles high and falling fast.
It landed foul on the grass.
The players tried for a forward pass,
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.

Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune.
We all got up to dance,
Oh, but we never got the chance!
`cause the players tried to take the field;
The marching band refused to yield.
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?

And then I think we are half way through it.
 
Cheers, garnos.

It's not an exact rhyme, but it's alliterative instead: Metal melter?

Just a thought.

Helter skelter
Thermite metal melter
(It) don't explode
But it shoots my load...

LOL. Er, I've just had a beer, so forgive me.

We must be tuned into the same psychic vibrational frequencies... I was thinking along the "melter" lines, too.

I am also working on a parody which contains the line "Upward fusion destruction beams"... I'll let you know how that ones goes!
 
Hehehe. I'll split the million with you if we can come up with a test protocol and prove it. :D

Looking forward to your UFDB verse. And Merc/jhunter/greyleonard's recording! Bumpity bump!

I'm peeved that Merc wasn't listed as a TLA candidate for his lyrics. Now I have to choose between his other post, Gravy, and MDeC's 'JAQing off'! :boxedin:
 
With ideas borrowed from you two, here's my attempt at the helter skelter section:

Thermite, thermate, it's a metal melter
Steven Jones thought his paper a belter
Now debunked, it's falling fast
"93 never scorched grass"
Killtown talking outta his arse
With his theory everybody had a blast



Now the South Park air was sweet perfume
Said the troofers were a bunch of loons
We all got up to dance,
Oh, Dylan never had a chance!
Dylan tried make the truth yield
But mad ideas he chose to field
Do you recall what was revealed
The day that South Park aired
