I decided since I wasn't gonna be a good singer regardless, I would just be as hammy as I possibly could and hope that made up for it. Any screwups on Mimsy's part were probably because of me...

Aaaand that's it, folks, we've got it.
The song can be downloaded for the next couple of weeks or so here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/l496by A youtube video will be made ASAP.
Meanwhile I need to go tweet this to Don Quixote.
An absolutely huge thanks to everyone who got involved, especially the nervous ones! I know we're already really busy what with refics and the end of the world and everything but you all pulled together to do this for Quixote, and some of you were really nervous to do it. It showed great courage to do so.

The youtube vid should be posted now, and then another one, the official one, should be made later and have a slide show of all of your awesome artwork playing in the background, indicating who is singing!

Aaaand for all those who are wodnering here are the complete lyrics with a mostly I think accurate list of who sang which verse (sorry to those who didn't get as much as others.)
Scarab: Let's get down to business
to restore the Wall
Sicon and Mimsy: Did they call in tropers
Or a bunch of trolls?
Qara: We’re the strangest bunch
you’ve ever met
But you can bet
before we’re through
Narrative: We will make Metaguards out of you
Eli: Tranquil in the forums
But a rage within
Kirka: Once we find the echoes
We are sure to win
Guyshane: We’re a messed up, brave
demented lot
And we’re really kinda screwed
Narrative: Somehow we’ll keep the wall
Standing, too
Rota: I'm never gonna catch
up now
Adell: Can we please
stay on topic?
Kirka: Anybody here remember
Morgan’s tropes?
Eli: Mister A’s got me
stressed as hell
Qara: Hope LJS won’t
see through me
Scarab: ...I think Don Quixote
just... attacked a bus?
(The Wall Won’t Fall)
Rotavator: We must be swift as
an instantiations
(The Wall Won’t Fall)
Qara: With all the force
of a badass lime
(The Wall Won’t Fall)
Scarab: With all the heart
of a storyteller
Tohr: remembering that
we're running out of time!
Adell: Mister A keeps yelling
That the Cabal lie
Sicon: "HEED OUR EVERY ORDER
AND YOU MIGHT SURVIVE"
Narrative: Leaning to and fro
'Tween Ed and Joe
but don’t ever think we’re through
Scarab: We will still make metaguards
Out of you...
Sicon & Mimsy (The Wall Won’t Fall)
We must be swift as
an instantiations
(The Wall Won’t Fall)
With all the force
of a badass lime
(The Wall Won’t Fall)
With all the heart
of a storyteller
remembering that
we're running out of time!

You guys did an awesome job. I love it! And I'm sure Quixote did too.
I wish I could've been involved somehow, but I can't seem to find a microphone anywhere. Anyway, if there's any opportunity, I'd love to contribute something to the video. Maybe I can draw something.

That was F*CKING AWESOME.
On so many levels. I should've joined in when I had the chance. But I love this so much. Can't wait to see the Youtube vid.

You have all the win in existence. Limes, limes everywhere!
(Also, I didn't get to hear Dilly's singing before. You have a wonderful singing voice, did they tell you that?)

I have been told I have a wonderful singing voice. It's... kind of expected, really: The women in my family are all singers, I've been singing with my mom since forever, I've had a few voice lessons and was in choir in high school.
So, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed my singing. This was tons of fun to do.

Well of course Dilly has a great singing voice-- she's a Meta-ROBIN. Robins are birds. Birds sing well.
...It totally makes sense.
(I guess bugs sing really well, too? Because Bonsus Girl.)

THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE.
Most bugs are incapable of singing, but there
is soemthing known as the Hissing Beetle. I've held them. it's kind of awesome the way they make all those odd sounds... and there are crickets and cicaidas, of course. Not all that attractive sounding, though.
Also, thank you *glomp*
<3
Also there is the pistol shrimp, which is... not really an insect but you know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC6I8iPiHT8

No, but I didn't get to be in the actual song. I'm also planning on re-recording the video, so that it won't cut off mid-song.

if you mean with the lyrics at the bottom then yes, that's the plan.
If you mean without the lyrics at all - also possible. but would involve uploading the RAW music which I'm a bit more nervous about because you know, Dsney copyright. The song itself I can count as homage.parody which gets more leeway but the music itself is just the Mulan soundtrack.
Someone else is free to do it, though.

Can I just say that this song has literally been posted at the perfect time with recent developments?
I dunno about anybody else, but I feel energised to refic/battle Cthulhu.
... Also Sicon's voice sounds like Vegeta. With elephants.
