My latest contribution to the Maraoke video game karaoke songlist – first performed 11/03/2022.
The first of a new batch of songs that I’ll post here as they’re added to the system and performed.
This is a song about the efforts to speed up the death of Adobe Flash in the early 2010s, a significant and lamentable (albeit ultimately inevitable) backward step in the democratisation of game development.
“Thoughts on Flash”
– after “Cannonball” by The Breeders
Check check check
One two
Awoo-oo
Awoo-oo
Awoo-oo
Awoo-oo
Awoo-oo
Awoo-oo
[BREAK]
Steve needs his new thing to sell
“Know it’d crash
If it ran Flash?”
[BREAK]
I know your little indie scene
And you’ll have to deal, boo hoo
[BREAK]
Meat Boy! Grow Cube! Canabalt!
Zuma! Dino Run! Samarost!
(Pay now) It’s a shame, it’s a shame
(Pay now) It’s a shame, it’s a shame
[BREAK]
I know your little indie scene
I know you should can it all
You can make whatever you want
as long as you don’t make Pong
(Phased out) It’s unsafe
(Phased out) It’s unsafe
Want you Robot Unicorn
Want you QWOP and Hexagon
Steve needs his new thing to sell
Browser game trash
Adobe Flash
Now we pay development costs
That plugin was uninstalled
Strong Bad! Homestuck! Weebl and Bob!
Limmy’s! Swearing! Xylophone!
(Pay now) It’s a shame, it’s a shame
(Pay now) It’s a shame, it’s a shame
