Drassablanca
My time in KM Chat last night was beset by connection problems, and every one of my exits, unannounced as they were, was non-deliberate on my part.
When I listened properly to 'Out Of Touch' by Hall & Oates a couple of years ago, part of the intro sounded to me very much like something else. Now, thanks to the fecund fathomless firmament that is YouTube, I have been able to confirm my suspicions. Out Of Touch can be heard here (relevant from around 0:19 in); the other music is here (relevant from around 1:44 in).
Also via YouTube, I have discovered that the renowned Steve Nallon was a puppeteer on What's Up Doc?. I may have to revise my opinion of him...
Finally for this entry, a couple of my recent KM song parodies:
You must remember this
DISMISS is still DISMISS
It's Treguard saying bye
The detrimental things apply
As blades go by
And Series 4 Team 2
The first ones to go through
Not knowing that they'd die
But danger's what the Dungeon brings
As blades go by
Blades in the corridor
Never out of date
Screams of advisors
Team 2 Series 8
Watchers look on, directions come too late
Then Treguard says goodbye
It really can get gory
The game of luck and glory
A case of do or die
The Watchers always welcome Knightmare
As blades go by*

[This song parody is about Ross' quest in Series 3.]
I got my first real helmet
Hoped to wear it for some time
Treguard put it on my head
It was the autumn of '89
Me and some guys from school
Had a team and we tried real hard
Gavin Twigg, Fu Wang and Sharsad
I said, "ya know, we're gonna get far"
Oh when I look back now
That autumn seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
Those were the quest days of my life
Ain't no use in complainin'
While the Greater Game is played
Rolled a die, entered a portal
And then I met the maid
Standin' on a trapdoor floor
She told me that I'd won her favour
Oh and when she fell right down
I wondered if I had to save 'er
Those were the quest days of my life
Back in the autumn of '89
Man we were doin' well
We were clever questors
We knew when to dispel
I guess nothin' can last forever, forever, no
And then the times got harder
Met Morghanna and her axe was strong
Sometimes when I'm watching my Knightmares
I think of Melly, wonder what went wrong
Standin' on a trapdoor floor
She told me that I'd won her favour
Oh and when she fell right down
I wondered if I had to save 'er
Those were the quest days of my life
