hkellickI don't know what posessed me to dreg this old parody out of the archives and see about updating it slightly (only slightly - it's one of my best parodies ever, I think.)
Half of you won't get this.
The other half probably won't care.
But for me.. and the two or three of you who might enjoy this:
Chaotic Pie
"ChaoticMUX Pie 2005" by LITE
A Parody of Don McLean's "American Pie
Author's Note: This song is not exactly chronological. Close, but not quite.
Also note... This song is truly full of references about important or amusing parts of our history. Maybe one day I'll "interpret" this song and tell you all the things I, personally, put in here. Feel free to try to "interpret" yourself, but you'll recieve neither confirmation nor disagreement from me. :) Still.
A long long time ago.
I can still remember how logging on used to make me smile.
And I knew that this was my chance.
To make the people laugh and prance.
And maybe they'd be happy for a while.
But eights years later, I remember
a dream we couldn't quite dismember.
Real Life came and grabbed us.
I couldn't say who's saddest.
I do remember a great place
Where I felt at home and I showed my face.
and nothing here can quite replace..
My home, Chaotic, died.
So...
(Chorus)
Bye Bye to ChaoticMUX, Guys
Changed the IP
Not MIT.
Gave some newbies a try.
And our old players get all nostalgic and cry
singing "This is when ChaoticMUX died."
"This is when ChaoticMUX died."
Did you scavenge for the stuff?
And did you find all the crashes tough?
Did you ever find the den?
And, do you believe in FWAAA or Kw'ar?
Do you know who Enigma are?
And can you teach me how things were like then?
Well, you know that we're now 8 years old.
You know not to find the Dungeon hold.
We've all set our own +polls.
And we've thought our globals were droll.
I was a fresh-eared newbie from New York
With a sense of humor and a love of "Bork!"s.
But we know now I'm just a dork.
Because Chaotic died.
I started singing...
(Chorus)
Now, for five years, we've been on our own.
The world persists, though it hasn't grown.
But that's not how it used to be.
While the Jester romped with the King and Queen
In a world that wasn't straight or clean,
And a goal to enjoy all that that means.
And, oh, while the gates opened to flow,
(This happened a Long Time Ago)
The coins and clovers grew.
The banaenas did too.
Meanwhile, grew a page covered in talk.
The players learned to spot like hawks
The strangest walks that we could walk.
The day Chaotic died.
We were singing...
(Chorus)
Puzzles puzzling how to reclaim it all.
The Hat would help, but the both would still fall.
The TP'd rooms fit right in.
And oh no! falling to his whims,
Creating games with long acronyms.
And the Jester and the Queen both stacking wins.
Now the Robots Twain were sweet success,
Connecting us to all the rest.
The eggs were scattered round.
Oh, and the nuked boy's body found.
Do you recall the Sun God's big mess:
Impersonate and DoS?
Do you recall like all the rest?
the day Chaotic died
We started singing...
(Chorus)
Oh, and as the Legend clearly states,
The Queen, with Folgers, we'd replace.
With no wish left to try again.
So, come on, King so clever, King so great,
King learns just how to obfuscate.
And, when not looking, the King changed our base.
Oh, and as we heard the storied wit,
The Fool and Dark Elf grew a bit.
The typos command claimed
The Jester's million games.
And after we voted on Ministries
The King and Queen left MIT
In Boston, it finally dawned on me,
That Day, Chaotic died
We were singing...
(Chorus)
So here we are, a long time past
And I wonder 'bout our newbie cast.
The people aren't the same today.
I wonder whether I could go
where I felt so silly. Sadly no.
Cause that place has moved quite past this wizard's day...
And in that place and time quite past
The wizards joke and the players sass,
And very little's spoken
About the things still broken.
And of the things I miss the most.
The silly fun that I got to host.
Perhaps my mind is finally toast
Because Chaotic Died.
And we were singing...
(Chorus)
We were singing...
(Chorus)
Half of you won't get this.
