hehehe....
Fractal 007 gave me some excellent advice-- "if you think you are boring, try something new"
so here goes, a actually TRIED to write a song!  I did it in History class, when i had a million kids screaming around me.  So it's not very good at all, but tell me what you think, alright?  You never know, i just might be able to write songs after all...

Chorus:

"He's the superhero
savior of the land
clad in sweaty sleeveless armour
flying, beer in hand

He's the superhero
fighting every day
he'll restore the peace to us
in his own drunken way"

(Verses)

He's a
superhuman guy
when evil rears its head
watch our hero fly
pull over, super hero
you're FWI

*chorus*

He's got
superhuman flair
great big gleaming muscles
and slicked-back golden hair
he's even got a six-pack
but he would never share

He's got
a superhuman mind
he can belch the alphabet
and almost walk a line
and if he must, he'll use his charm
to keep from getting fined

*chorus*

He's got
a superhero's base
where he conducts his planning
to save the human race
if he'd only take his empties in
he'd have so much more space

He's got
superhuman might
sleeping in the gutter
every single night
but if the evil's ever back
he'll once again take flight

*chorus*


(i'm no Dopey Dope, but i'm just a rookie!  Bear with me on this one!  Thanks for your feedback.  -Allan)

this was surprisingly ok.
songs are not easy to pull out.

dope mostly goes into a lot of symbolism and stuff like that that would baffle a normal 16yo kid, but this one was pretty straight forward.

LOL LOL WOW>>>>>best song i have every hear/read in my life. You should keep writting songs there totally wonderful,Allan.
Altough it was a wonderful piece of work then again to me it was quite sad. That perhaps a child would look up to this type of man. And then again somepeople have heros that you would never dream were. So maybe this truly is a hero in ones eyes. Wonderful song. Keep smiling ~Amanda~< !signature-->

To do anyting LESS then your BEST is to SACRIFICE the GIFT!!!

I like this! It's hard writing a song, i don't understand how professionals do it all the time. i think this one is really good!
especially for tryin to write it with kids screaming all around. with my patience (which i don't have any) i'd be rippin their heads off!!  JUST KIDDING!! TOTALLY JUST KIDDING!
but great job, ttyl

I thought the song in general was nice. I liked it, very different from what i'd write but you're not me hehe. One comment on this though to see if you agree or not......too much chorus. After every group of verses you'd put the chorus right after.
that's 6 times of the chorus......same words....throughout the whole song.
same thing.
For me, this song seemed to last around 6mins long unless it were some punk hard fast song.....in that case......58 seconds.
Anyway, if it were ME, which it's not....i'd key down on so much chorus. Sometimes I like to write lyrics like this:

im a big fat man
i have no life
im a big fat man hey

Then after some verses of the song.

I live in a house
I have no life
Im a big fat man hey.

Ok so yea the first line is different, I think it adds punch into a chorus if your going to put it in MANY TIMEs.....rearrange it a bit ya know? Spice it up.....put in some variety....cuz hearing the same thing over and over again after every verse could bore the listener.
Just my two cents, I wouldn't know if it were valid or not.

Nice one Allan, very good song.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

definately agreed with DD.
this song was kinda funny... but held that deep meaning.
I liked it a lot!
