(credit goes to Scarab for starting this, I kind of just went off on a tangent afterwards lol)


Rising up, back on the site
Got my muse, got my sodaaa
Caught up on the forum
Now I'm back up to speed
Just a troper, and his will to contrive...

So many posts, it happens too fast
You lose your patience, and worry
Don't lose your grip on the tropes of the past
You must write just to allow them to thriiiiive.


It's the eye of the troper
It's the thrill of the dork
Rising up to the challenge of Medusa
And the last standing troper
Writes their words on the Wall
And will keep us from seeing the eyyyyes
of Medusa.



Face to face, missing the [beat]
typin' rough, gettin' hungry
They stack the odds
Still we take to the forums
For the kill with the skill to contriiiiiive.


It's the eye of the troper
It's the thrill of the dork
Rising up to the challenge of Medusa
And the last standing troper
Writes their words on the Wall
And will keep us from seeing the eyyyyes

writin' up, straight to the top
by the nuts, it's kind of gory.
Went the distance
Now I'm not gonna stop
Just a troper and his will to contriveeeeee!

Quick! Sell his soul to Ctulthu in exchange for a karaoke version. Or a sing-along version with all the meta-guards together.

Sure that's not neccesary I mean it's Eye of the Tiger, it's been Kareoke-d since the days when Kareoke was actually a thing. it's probably EVERYWHERE in Kareoke form.

Thus: THIS WILL HAPPEN :D

I don't have much of a singing voice, but if you guys want to somehow do some sort of group version of the song I'll sing lol.

I might be willing to join in, but my voice isn't all that good at singing. Also, just listened to Google Translate sing this :lol:

Am I the only one here who loves to sing? And is rather decent at it? Everyone else claims not to have a good voice...

Anyway, I'd record, but I'm not tech savvy - I don't know if my laptop even has the stuff needed.

Well some of us might just be modest. To be honest I just assume I have a terrible singing voice.

I like to sing, I just do it when I'm alone because my voice is quite bad at it. Well, singing in english anyways.

I can kind of sing...after a fashion but if we ever record this all of us need to sing it together. Does everyone have a webcam? if not go out and buy one

We should do something like those /v/ sings Still Alive where we all sing it and then mod them all together to have us all singing the song at once. It would be hilarious!
