A Filk of Mine on w00t Radio!

[ebenbrooks]

A few days ago, I posted to my friends list the lyrics to a filk that I and my brother hotspursmith had written. It was a parody of The Ramones' "I Wanna Be Sedated" about the online, multiplayer RPG City of Heroes. We called it "Don't Wanna Be Defeated."

I also posted it to the City of Heroes Message Boards, and that generated some very positive responses...so much so that one of the other board participants recorded it (with my permission) and gave it to another board participant to play on his internet radio station w00t Radio!

So here's the song! Hope you enjoy it!

Don't Wanna Be Defeated

Twenty-twenty-twenty-four missions to go-o-o
Don't wanna be defeated
Nothin' to do but smite my fo-o-oes
Don't wanna be defeated
Just 'port me to the entrance
Point me at the fray
Hurry, hurry, hurry
Or get out of my way
I can't control my teammates
They don't know how to play
Oh, NO-O-O-O-OOOOOOOOOO

Twenty-twenty-twenty-four missions to go-o-o
Don't wanna be defeated
So many mobs, so few hero-o-oes
Don't wanna be defeated
Just get me on the task force
Let's begin this show
Hurry, hurry, hurry
The timer's running low
I can't control my teammates
I can't control my foes
Oh, NO-O-O-O-OOOOOOOOOO

Wham! Bam! Ka-slam!
Ka-pow! Blam! Ba-bam!
Don't wanna be defeated!
