JPF Home Page Forums Lyric and MP3 Feedback Creative Challenge Forum Ok listen up everyone!!! Halloween Challenge part two!!!

Hi everyone....

Beth got the ball rolling and well! And you've all done your part to contribute, but.... We still aint reached our goal :O

See I'm gonna have to turn up the heat muhahaha "Turn and bubble boil and trouble" (I think I got that qoute wrong)

Anyways this is an addendum to the halloween challenge....

In this challenge the goal is to write a lyric comprising a horror slasher or thriller suspenseful movie you've seen...

Now this could range from Friday the 13th to The Birds... (Hitchcock) and there are no boundries you can retell the story or add on an sequel or just a commentary on the movie... you're free to make up your own story, just try to keep as many details as the original movie had so we know what you're talking about... I've got a creative writing piece over on the creative writing board that I'll post here as an idea of what I am talking about . I'm also thinking of tackling Final destination (unless someone beats me to it ) Good luck and have fun and lets push these halloween lyrics the magical 100 mark!
Derek

Ok everyone got your pencils ready? Good! now jam it in your ear (just kidding)...

Here is an idea of what you could do... This needs a chorus by the way

The Silencer of the lambs

Hello Clarice it’s me again
Yes I’ve been released from the Pen
I’d like to go dancing if you’ve the desire
Maybe after we’ll start a four alarm fire

No my taste for human flesh hasn’t abated
But it’s been many years since the last time I dated
Would like to see you as soon as tonight
I sure hope my calling hasn’t come as a fright

No I wasn’t paroled for my outstanding behavior
Nor my savior faire, sure did not earn me a favor
I’ve effected what we might call self release
There that should put your poor mind at ease

Before dancing we’ll dine on food fit for a queen
Liver of waiter served with fresh fava beans
For dessert I am thinking it’s only quite fair
Fresh strawberries and cream ala maitre de derriere

No you’ve no reason to fear my having busy hands
My hands are mere tools my mouth makes the demands
So shall we call it fifteen past eight for our little soiree
Maybe we could go dutch but I won’t make you pay

Though human cuisine may not be to your liking?
The price one must pay can be awfully stifling
So instead we’ll eat in and order a nice juicy ham
From a butcher I know called Silencer of the lambs

Ok got my Final Destination song done.... Would you believe the melody is country?


Final Destination

1st Verse
When planes explode and John Denver plays
Death can’t be all that far away
Even in the comfort of your living room

2nd Verse
Better check the fixtures before you bathe
Sometime they seem to misbehave
Then likely you’ll end up in a tomb

Chorus
So pack your bags but beware
Something evil’s lurking out there
That shaking isn’t turbulence
If I’ve told you twice I’ve told ya once
It isn’t your Disneyworld vacation
This is your final destination

3rd Verse
So be careful when you drive your car
As you’re wishing upon a star
That death won’t place his hand on your shoulder

4th Verse
Don’t stop dead on the railroad track
If you do there won’t be any looking back
And there’s no way you’ll ever grow older

Chorus
So pack your bags but beware
Something evil’s lurking out there
That shaking isn’t turbulence
If I’ve told you twice I’ve told ya once
Isn’t your four star restaurant reservation
This is your final destination

Bridge
If you’re a teacher don’t drink wine at your computer
Something gets stuck in the disposal call up roto rooter!

Chorus
So pack your bags but beware
Something evil’s lurking out there
That shaking isn’t turbulence
If I’ve told you twice I’ve told ya once
Better think about self preservation
This is your final destination

I'm thinking if I did music for it I'd play a clip of Rocky mountain high in the intro (fading in) in the middle (as a solo background) and in the outro fading out.... Man I'm sick

I think the first challenge is hard enough. We're not even halfway to 100 yet with a short time left.

Awwweeee, DARN IT!!!! I don't like those kinds of movies. I don't watch them. Hmmm, last one was Alice Sweet Alice, and I can't remember much. Long, long, long time ago. <sniff, sniff>

I'll see what books I have that I can glance through, maybe one of them will dislodge something, like maybe Salems Lot? Hmm, I've got to go read!

Inneressing challenge. I will see what I can do.

I do get to watch those movies occasionally; in fact, now's a real good time of year to do it, because so many channels are doing Hallowe'en marathons. I have to watch late at night, though, because my wife can't stand those flicks. Upside is I get to see the real turkeys, like "Killer Klowns from Outer Space."

I may be one of the few people I know who has "'Salem's Lot" in hardcover, because I've read it so much.

Joe

Hi Derek,

I'm not into the real scarey stuff but I remember "The Blob" old black and white flick w/Steve McQueen (remember the bowling alley scene, no...wait...maybe that scene was in the remake??) If I remember the original story correctly it goes something like this:

"The Blob"
(c)2008 Lynn Orloff

There was a man of science,
Who had a found a substance rare,
So he kept it in his freezer,
Thinking no one find it there.

But it seems a family member,
Who was looking for some food,
Came across the unmarked package,
Took it out and left the room.

Lift
As it sat out on the counter, seems it started to defrost,
Who would guess this curious finding would cause havoc and great loss

It was ewy, it was gooey,
Earning well it's name “the Blob”,
Finding victims to devour,
Sadly seemed to be it's job!

Though it started as a small thing,
Over time it grew in size,
As the news spread though the county,
Townsfolk feared their own demise.

Neighbors gathered feeling helpless,
Searching for the perfect plan,
Accidentally they discovered,
A frozen blob could not kill man.

Lift
Armed with all their hands could carry, shooting well with Co2,
Taking aim to freeze the monster, was the one thing left to do.

It was ewy, it was gooey,
Could they stop the gruesome “Blob”,
Finding victims to devour,
Sadly seemed it's only job!

Bridge:
Now it’s frozen, rendered harmless,
If it stays in icey form,
But it could present a problem,
If it gets alittle warm.....

It was ewy, it was gooey,
Though it isn't anymore,
But be careful for surprises,
One could show up at your door

HIDee Bro D...

Here's a Quickie for ya: "BIRDS"

GAWRSH Them Birds are Nippy
Like the Ones that Pummeled Tippi
Back in Alfred's Movies..
Way-Back-When!

And like a Horror Feature
We're beset by those Creatures
Starting their Dive-Bombing
Again-&-Again!

(CHORUS)
Lookout for..THE BIRDS
Seagulls Squawking
Red Tails Hawking
Blackbirds Mawking
"Nevermore"
Lookout for..THE BIRDS
As They Come Crashing
Through Windowpanes, Beaks-Slashing
Humanity they're Trashing
(Gonna Even-The-Score!)

Their Eggshells were All Cracking
When Mosquitoes were Attacking
& We Sprayed The WORLD with
D-D-T...

So Now they Are Re-Grouping
Enough so They Are Swooping
(They Know It's THEM-or-US
& They Won't Leave Us BE)

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)
Don't Listen to the Calling of That Nightingale
He's Lulling You to Slumber..So You'll Be..Impaled...

The Hummingbirds are Cunning:
Straight for Your Neck they're Gunning
(Feels like a Bee-sting
Then You Start..to Bleed)

The Robins are Hop-Hopping
'Cuz On Your Knees You're Dropping
They're Waiting for The Worms
Upon Which..They'll Feed!

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(TAG)
While THE BIRDS'll Take a Bashing
They're Gonna..EVEN..THE..SCORE!---

{Some BIRDCALLS on the way out..maybe even an "AFLECK" Duck Call?} ;-)>

Hey Tom

Yea I tend to come up with some challenging challenges lol... No worries and yes it is hard to come up with things like this, but it's oh so fun when ya do ...
Derek

Hey Everyone!

I'm so sorry :O .... I've gotten busy in life recently and haven't had the chance to respond and check in ... I especially apologize to those who wrote us some cool movie inspired lyrics (Stan and Lynn) ... So I'm back for a little tonight and I'll get these caught up, but I'll totally understand if that's the end of the thread lol...
Derek

Hey Caroline

Well it doesn't have to be super scary... suspense might work quite well as well, something by hitchcock such as North by Northwest maybe? Either way I look forward to what you'll come up with (even if it's nothing )
Derek

Hey Joe

Thanks for stopping in and no worries if it don't work out... as you've seen I've been rather hit or miss around here.... seems everytime I want to get more involved I get pulled away by some type of family drama ( Good song writing material maybe? ) But if ya can come up with something I'd be glad to see it
Derek

Hey Lynn

Most excellent treatment of a true b movie horror flick classic!

I especially like the chorus, very nice literation on ewy and gooey... I also liked the last chorus quite a bit... You did a great job of giving a synopsis of the film while keeping it quite humorous! Kudos on a job well done and thanks for participating!
Derek

Hey Stanny amigo!

Very good treatment of the Hitchcock classic "the birds" and fodder for a sequel I'd say... Nice how the birds have some sort of reason for attacking in this one... Points out some very clear environmental messages along with keeping it interesting and funny... makes me a little more alert to the passing over head as well lol.... Afleck Duck Call? Do you have a sound sample for that ?
Big belated guy hugs
Derek

Hi Derek..

I missed this post somehow when it was originally done. Thanks for the effort!

Perhaps we now need a Thanksgiving song contest? Not many of those either.

Brian

You're right, Brian--there are precious few good Thanksgiving songs. precious few Thanksgving songs, period. The imagery you've got to work with is a tad limited.

I do have a few songs that are real turkeys. I don't suppose that would work?
