lyrics
"Sonic The Hedgehog"
Parody of "Rock You Like a Hurricane" by Scorpions (Schenker, R; Meine, K; Rarebell, H)
New lyrics by Ian Bonds
It's early morning
The Sun comes out
The ground starts shaking
It's pretty loud
The woodland creatures
All try to flee
but Eggman's not as
fast as me!
He grabs them all
as I grab rings
then I destroy
his evil things
I jump on the plunger
Creatures are freed
I can not stay
'Cause I'm on speed
Here I run, Sonic the Hedgehog
Watch me run, I'm Sonic the Hedgehog!
"Love Mr. Do!"
Parody of "Love Me Do" by the Beatles (McCartney, P; Lennon, J)
New lyrics by Ian Bonds
(I) Love Mr. Do!
He's A Clown, It's True!
He Throws Balls At You!
So play-ay-ay-ay
Mr. Do!
oh oh, Mr. Do!
"Grand Theft Auto"
Parody of "Band on the Run" by Wings (Mccartney, Linda; Mccartney, Paul)
New lyrics by Ian Bonds
Well, my car exploded with a mighty crash
I did it just for show
and I said to her, taking another one
"I need your cash, you ho!"
Grand Theft Auto
Grand Theft Auto
And Liberty and Vice City
Are the places that we go
In our Grand Theft Auto
In our Grand Theft Auto
Grand Theft Auto
Grand Theft Auto
"Gary's Mod"
Parody of "Stacy's Mom" by Fountains of Wayne (Collingwood, Chris; Schlesinger, Adam)
New lyrics by Ian Bonds
(based on a fan-made modification of the video game Half Life 2)
Gary's Mod has got it going on
It's all I need and I've been playing for so long
Gary can't you see
You have got the mod for me
I know that modding's wrong but
I'm in love with Gary's Mod
"Frogger Cross the Street"
Parody of "Danicng in the Street" as performed by Mick Jagger and David Bowie (Hunter, Ivy; Stevenson, William; Gaye, Marvin)
New lyrics by Ian Bonds
Crawling out across the swamp
And those flies are looking extra sweet
But the cars are fast and now it's time to
Help Frogger cross the streets
All we need is swampland, sweet swampland
But there's carnage everywhere
Cars are swerveing, swaying, chicken I'm playing,
Will Frogger cross the street? Oh,
It doesn't matter where you land, just give that poor frog a hand
So come on, every one, it's not hard
To be the froggy crossing guard
We'll help Frogger, Frogger Cross the Street
"Pikachu"
Parody of "Forget You" by Cee-lo Green (Cee Lo Green, Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine, Brody Brown)
New lyrics by Ian Bonds
Suggested by Mike Stettz
I see you fightin' 'round town with your pokemon
but it's not
Pikachu
And the name that I call
when i throw pokeballs is always
Pikachu, baby
i choose you
I said
I would choose Meowth
but he won't shut his mouth
huh, ain't that some shh
(ain't that some shh)
I've overcome this hurdle
by defeating Squirtle with
Pikachu!
"Playin' Halo"
Parody of "Ridin' Solo" by Jason Derulo (Desrouleaux, Jason Joel; Rotem, Jonathan; Thomas, Xavier)
New lyrics by Ian Bonds
Suggested by Mike Cisneros
I'm duel wielding with both of my guns,
They're all out for blood, gotta stop the Flood
It's Halo, I'm playin' Halo
I'm playin' Halo, I'm playin' Halo, Halo
Cortana won't stop with the grief
I'm beyond belief cause I'm Master Chief
It's Halo, I'm playin' Halo
I'm playin' Halo, I'm playin' Halo, Halo
"Young Street Fighter"
Parody of "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas (Carl Douglas and Vivian Hawke)
New lyrics by Ian Bonds
It was a fighting tournament in every funky town
They were punching them up
They were knocking them down
It's a simple flick of wrist
combos too much to list
a silence filled the room
As I unleashed a Sonic Boom
But I was just a young Street Fighter
Hadoken made the screen brighter
Zangief began to perspire
Chun Li could kick much higher
"Angry Birds"
Parody of "Firework" by Katy Perry (Mikkel S. Eriksen, Tor Erik Hermansen, Sandy Wilhelm, Ester Dean)
New lyrics by Ian Bonds
And now I'm playing Angry Birds
I'll beat up those piggy hurds
The bacon starts to fly-iy-iy
As they shoot across the sky-iy-iy!
"Playin' Some Mario Kart"
Parody of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler (Jim Steinman)
New lyrics by Ian Bonds and Luke Sienkowski
(Turn Around)
Grab your steering wheel and turn around and hit the gas so you won't fall off the rainbow road
(Turn Around)
Grab your steering wheel and turn around and hit the gas so you'll escape banana peels from Toad!
(Turn around, Shy Guy)
Every now and then I grab a block
(Turn around, Shy Guy)
Every now and then I get a shock!
Which will turn me small, oh my
Then get flattened by my brother
That Luigi think he is so sly
But Bob-ombs, I've got another!
I never hit the brake button, I always excell
And thanks to Wario I've really been through Shell
Oh here we go, out of sight!
The mushroom cup will start tonite
That Gold trophy is mine (alright)
Once upon a time, over barrels I jumped
But now I'm racing so press start
Nothing I can do, I'm playing some Mario Kart!
(Turn Around Shy Guy)
(Turn Around Shy Guy!)
