ahem

My Confederation

People try to put us d-down
(talkin’ ‘bout my Confederation)
Just because we patrol around
(talkin’ ‘bout my Confederation)
Things we do look awful c-cold
(talkin’ ‘bout my Confederation)
Don’t mess with us now, you’ve been told
(talkin’ ‘bout my Confederation)

(chorus) This is my Confederation
This is my Confederation, baby

Why don’t you all f-f-fly away
(talkin’ ‘bout my Confederation)
And don’t expect a decent p-pay
(talkin’ ‘bout my Confederation)
We don’t mind that Astex Corporation
(talkin’ ‘bout my Confederation)
Just talkin’ ‘bout my -C-C-Confederation
(talkin’ ‘bout my Confederation)

(chorus)

(bass solo)

Why don’t you all f-f-fly away
(talkin’ ‘bout my Confederation)
And don’t listen to what those Rebels s-s-say
(talkin’ ‘bout my Confederation)
Yeah who wiped out that alien nation?
(talkin’ ‘bout my Confederation)
Just talkin’ ‘bout my C-C-Confederation

(chorus)

People try to bring us down
(talkin’ ‘bout my Confederation)
Just because we patrol around
(talkin’ ‘bout my Confederation)
But in a fight they ain’t so bold
(talkin’ ‘bout my Confederation)
Coz noone dares to attack our Sol
(talkin’ ‘bout my Confederation)

(last chorus)

hmm. Bowie's 'Rebel Rebel', anyone?

I like it a lot! You shoult get signed as a writer! I once used the original in a spoof game of Worms I made called @Murms Armageddon'. It was a platformer, and was made with Hyperstudio, but looked really spandankinly good.

Ay carumba - a fan!!!! You may accept my signature below as an autograph ;)...sadly though, I've decided to take early retirement on account of my genius not being appreciated by anyone who spells 'colour' without a 'u'...well, that and also on account of: what genius?

So there is someone else who thought 'wouldn't it be a great idea to fuse a classic mod-anthem with a cult computer game!'...Doodah, I salute you.

And now, I'm off to buy a better rhyming dictionary...

I'm glad someone here besides me knows who Pete Townsend is. The Who kicks ass. One of the only bands from the 60's that can still blow any current rock act away.

That man can play.

-and doesn't track 12 totally rock?!

Anyway, I've been thinking; when people refer to tactics in EV there's the well-known Monty Python technique, and then there's the 'Fly Around The Enemy In Circles Lots Of Times' technique. Just as a thought, would it not be much simpler to call this technique the ' Pete Townshend ', due to it's windmilling nature? Hmm, I might be on to something...

Actually, tracks 3 through 19 totally rock. The others are fine, but they aren't as good as those middle 16 songs.

Also, someone did a cover of I Can't Explain (the first track on the album), and Fatboy Slim (another of my favorite artists) sampled it. It all comes full circle...

Yeah, track 20 on the album doesn't sound quite right without Moony behind the drums.

Haven't heard the Fatboy Slim sample - which song is it on? And incidentally, have you heard Green Day's excellent cover of My Generation? Or Oasis' even better (and extremely rare) cover of it? Despite the fall of Napster, it's still possible to find it on certain websites. Anyhow,

Didn't that bloke do that to John Lennon, y'know, before he shot him?

Haha!! A tempting suggestion, but assuming I use a permanent marker, how will she ever explain the fact that she has "Never trust a dog with orange eyebrows" inscribed on her bosom? Especially if she herself has red hair...?!

I usually listen to movie scores when I'm messing around with graphics or posting on the forums (Star Wars, Cutthroat Island, Backdraft, Crimson Tide, Medal of Honor, The Truman Show, The Patriot, Saving Private Ryan... The list goes on). When I'm busy doing projects for my dad or TVA, Bach inventions and Beethoven Sonatas are what I prefer. I play a lot of Bach and Beethoven on the piano anyway, so I learn a few things about how they should be played in the process...

Fatboy Slim samples the cover of "I Can't Explain" in "Gouing Out Of My Head", the third track on Better Living Through Chemistry, which is my favorite album of his.

Hmm -I guess the Star Wars soundtrack and 'Ride of the Valkyries' would sound great in the background of EV, but for those hectic battles few songs beat 'Ace Of Spades' by Motorhead

Hang on a minute, have there been any topics posted before about EV playlists/soundtracks...? Coz I'm sure there's hundreds of songs out there that are perfectly suited for hectic galactic carnage.

So, unwittingly to me, there almost was a collaboration? Think of it, it would have been amongst the greats: Slash & Lenny Kravitz, Run DMC & Aerosmith, Eminem & Elton John (OK, maybe not that one), and...Pippin and Pikeman!! I'd feel gutted if it weren't for the fact that your Green Day cover was so good Having said that, the My Gen rhythm guitar isn't too hard to play - but that bass solo is a killer (and, incidentally, also the first of it's kind - useless fact #573 ).

Anyway, it seems then that this humble thread marks the very beginning of what could become the bane of civilisation, that's right....

...the EV-RELATED SONG!!!

Already it has spawned one 'classic work of sound clip-ium'. You have been warned...
