My latest contribution to the Marioke video game karaoke songlist – first performed 14/12/2018.
This is actually the second version of this song on the database. There’s nothing (as far as I know) wrong with the previous version, I just forgot that it had been done before. Both versions can be requested during Marioke Christmas events. (The Christmas songs on the system are not available to request during the rest of the year.)
I’d never really paid attention to the original lyrics before – they’re actually kind of clever, what with the hidden title mention in the chorus and the triple pun in the last verse. Or perhaps listening to it over and over in the process of writing this has done something to my brain. Merry Xmas!
“Merry X͠m̵a̴s Ev̩̯̳̖er̭̝̰̘̮̭ͅỵ̙̼͖̻́b̻̻͇̺͓͜o͖̻͠ḓ̺̙͖ͅy̫̙̞̠”
– after “Merry Xmas Everybody” by Slade
Has your character got stuck inside a wall?
Do your goalie’s hands just pass right through the ball?
Do you find you’ve not the same gear
That you had when you last saved?
Do the NPCs keep standing in your way?
Our README lists many glitches
Of which those are only some
Patch them in future, now
It’s only version one
Your companion’s just a floating pair of eyes
You fell through the world and now you’re trapped outside
Did you find the key this lock fits?
Did you lock it in this chest?
Did you shoot the man who sent you on this quest?
We released with many glitches
Of which those are only some
Patch them in future, now
It’s only version one
What are you gonna do? You just keep on buying these buggy Elder Scrolls
A – A – A
Are you firing your shotgun through the wall?
Are you using a cheat code to catch ’em all?
Are you filling your invent’ry
With the duplicates you’ve made
Do you wonder how this made it through QA?
Our README lists many glitches
Of which those are only some
Patch them in future, now
It’s only version one
So here we’ll list many glitches
Of which those are only some
Patch them in future, now
It’s only version one
This game consists of mainly glitches
Shipped out long ‘fore it was done
Who thought releasing now
Was a good decision?
Here’s who it is: Randy Pitchford
And the game is Aliens:
(IT’S PITCHFORD)
Co-lo-ni-al Marines
It isn’t any fun
