Hi everyone, I was a little bored tonight and couldn't be bothered studying, so having said David Gilmour has released his first album in 22 years or so and we havea few fans here AND we're still waiting for DNF....well there's no prizes for guessing what I have in store for you
![]() Here we go: "Wish you were done" So, so you think you frag Artificial to human intelligence, Or kickin' arse in single player. Can you tell a rail gun From a cold desert eagle? A stripper from a pigcop? Do you think you can tell? Did they get you to download from steam? Or purchase the good ol' fashion way? Right off the shelves? Strippers naked boobs or PG-13 sexual references? Can you handle the change? And did you kick arse Along those rooftops of Manhattan Or rock it out in Vegas? How I wish, how I wish you were done. We're just two lost players Looking at old screenshots, Year after year, Lookin' at the same old graphics. What have we found? The same old answer: WID. Wish you were done. |

Re: "Wish you were done" - A parodic DNF song.
I'd like to know what the melody is like, before throwing my statement at you...
![]() I can't find any rhymes, so it's really hard for me...

Re: "Wish you were done" - A parodic DNF song.
Pink Floyds "Wish you were here from here" from same named album. Hard to keep rythm to those complex words. But then the more fun, Billy.

Re: "Wish you were done" - A parodic DNF song.
This is rubbish. It has no melodic insterest. its just a few random sentences spaced out vertically to make it look like a song layout. Try harder.

Re: "Wish you were done" - A parodic DNF song.
Whether the parody is good or not, the original Pink Floyd song didn't exactly rhyme, either. Not until the end part, which is where Joel's starts to rhyme as well.
Edit: Now that I think about it, the original did rhyme quite a bit: tell/hell rail/veil trees/breeze change/exchange

Re: "Wish you were done" - A parodic DNF song.
now that i read the original lyrics i see where is the analogy, but still i wouldnt call it a song... i dont think that i can be sang well. The original seems much more fluent, poetic and singable
![]() and yes, original does rhyme much better ![]() Quote:

Re: "Wish you were done" - A parodic DNF song.
That's the song that got David Gilmour to stop smoking. He heard himself hawking at the beginning and said, "Enough!" -- or so the legend goes

Re: "Wish you were done" - A parodic DNF song.
Okay, what the heck. I'll give it a try. "Duke Nukem Forever," to the tune of Queensryche's "Jet City Woman."
Duke Nukem Forever Every time I ask Joe says, "When it's done" And it's never done Every time I close my eyes at night I dream Duke's release date's in sight I look at screenshots from '99 And video from 2001 Dreaming of Duke, I feel the heat Of an RPG Splattering an Octobrain What it does to me! Waited so long I can't wait another year without Duke Duke Nukem Forever It's a long way until it's gold Duke Nukem Forever I see Duke's face everywhere, Can't get him out of my mind Whenever I'm at home I'm hoping There's a new post from George online Telling us that Duke is on his way Finally after all this time Watching the time tick, tick away The wait grows longer every day Fortunes are lost on the upgrades I'll need But without Duke I can't breathe He's the air to me Waited so long, I'm all alone thinking about Duke Duke Nukem Forever Got to find its way home to me Duke Nukem Forever I see Duke's face everywhere I look Duke Nukem Forever Just a hundred milestones and it'll be here Duke Nukem Forever When it finally goes gold Time for some Dukematch Waited so long now the game's delayed again Reminds me of all our days without Duke Hold on, just a little longer Duke Nukem Forever Wonder where I'd be, Duke's the air to me Duke Nukem Forever Screenshots from '99, video from '01 Duke Nukem Forever No more nights alone he's almost home now Duke Nukem Forever Close my eyes and I'm there with my Duke Nukem Duke Nukem!

Now that Jet City Woman parody is a masterful piece of work!
I liked the first one as well. What's up with all the people not knowing the songs? |

Re: "Wish you were done" - A parodic DNF song.
Thanks, Steelhed!
Yatta, that's hilarious, but I think you either don't know the original Pink Floyd, or maybe you just figured you needed to go your own way with it. |

Here's another one, to the tune of Pink Floyd's "Run Like Hell."

Re: "Wish you were done" - A parodic DNF song.
Hey everyone, thanks for your feedback, i've taken on board your comments and critique and i've modified it somewhat so it rhymes a little more. Here we go:
So, so you think you frag Taking all those kills by the bag, Or kickin' arse in single player. Can you tell a rail gun From a cold desert eagle? A stripper from a nun? Do you think you can tell? Did they get you to download from steam? Or purchase the good ol' fashion way? Right off the shelves? Strippers naked boobs or PG-13 sexual references? Can you handle the change? And did you kick arse Along those rooftops of Manhattan Or rocket launch with some class? How I wish, how I wish you were done.

Re: "Wish you were done" - A parodic DNF song.
Okay, because I'm feeling idiotic I decided to do something to a song that hopefully everybody knows, mary had a little lamb. It's all in fun, and we all know the team gets treated very well there. Kinda stupid, but made me laugh in a couple places...
==================== GB had a coding team coding team coding team GB had a coding team, that coded night and day And everywhere that GB went GB went GB went and everywhere that GB went, the team was sure to stay They followed him outside one day outside one day outside one day They followed him outside one day, ignorant to their plight It made the team laugh and play laugh and play laugh and play It made the team laugh and play to see natural light And so GB sent them in sent them in sent them in And so GB sent them in, no more playing, never And so the team resumed to work resumed to work resumed to work The team did resume to work on Duke Nukem Forever One day their coding was done coding was done coding was done One day their coding was done, they celebrated with their friends GB called them in once more in once more what the hell for? GB called them in once more cause they're changing techs again... |

Well sure it doesn't rhyme or match the rhythm of the original song, but the intent is still worth some credit, so give the guy a break.

Re: "Wish you were done" - A parodic DNF song.
well, first post here, thogh i been lurking for a long time.
let's have a go at this. Wish you were done - for george So, so you hope it'll sell, after ten years in hell? changing engines again? Can you work through the hate think it's still worth our wait? our fears, will it quell? Do you think it'll sell? how did they get you to trade and make your old data toast quake 3 for unreal? did they sweeten the deal? how much had to change? And did you exchange A walk on part at E3, For a sidebar on a page? How I wish, how I wish it was done. We're just trapped with our prayers falling into thin air it ain't no fun, Reading over the same old posts. What do we get? "When It's Done." Wish it was done... note: i do have faith, but i wanted to keep the pathos of the original song. |

Re: "Wish you were done" - A parodic DNF song.
I hink you are greatly missunderstanding things here... Fans are enjoying making some fun with songs, of a game that they look forward to...
What's so "desperate" in this..?! It's just like a Fanart, and a fan letter...

Re: "Wish you were done" - A parodic DNF song.
May be... But he has to undersyand that there is no reason to bash other things like this, because of an obvious bad mood...
It's so clear to see what this is... "A fanbase respecting a company, and having fun with it" If they were desperate, then about what..? About the release of DNF..? Noone here implies that they want DNF, badly, and if the song has a lyric saying this, it doesn't mean that they're trying to rush the game anyway... I mean, how in the world would that help anyways..?! Reading in my post above, there is also nothhing offending mentioned by protecting this thread, just facts, that makes one reconcider whatever whom said, ain't right...
