...and don't forget the big Luigi number: "Anything that you have an opinion on (you had better have proof of)"
And of course Darth's big chorus and tapdance routine: "AdHominem"
Brian Webbers numbers have now been excised from the score.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By John A. Lang on Friday, January 28, 2005 - 09:02 pm:

Let's not forget:
Luigi's subtitles in the musical would be in RED and be funny!
==================================================
Intermissions would be of Benn singing "Sir Duke"
while holding a scythe.
==================================================
After a "one-liner" is told, LaForge the Useless & The 47's TM would take all the jokes and rearrange them in a different format...just in case the audience didn't "get it" the first time.
==================================================
There will also be a chorus of Trolls spewing flames at everyone
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Thande on Saturday, January 29, 2005 - 04:33 am:

Er, John, the 47s TM and Laforge the Useless are the same poster.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By John A. Lang on Saturday, January 29, 2005 - 04:59 am:

I had a feeling about that...Just wasn't sure.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Butch sharpening his scythe on Saturday, January 29, 2005 - 10:31 am:

Periodically, the Trolls would get chased into an off stage "Garbage Dump" by The Roving Mods dressed as Death.

By John A. Lang on Sunday, January 30, 2005 - 08:35 am:

SONG 1:
"Who's Supervising the Scpipts?"
Bass voice: In season one
we had such fun
watching Spock and Kirk.
Orchestra:...(BA-DUM!)
Tenor voice: But then one day
some nameless jerk
switched the "R" with a "P".
Orchestra:...(BA-DUM!)
Bass and Tenor in unison:
So "Script" became "Scpipt"
and the rest is history!
Choir:
Who's supervising the Scpipts?
We want to know right now!
Who's supervising the Scpipts?
We want to know how...
Orchestra:...(BA-DUM!)
Choir: How he mistook "R" with a "P"
and screwed up thirteen episodes consecutively.
==================================================
SONG 2:
"Hands Off, She's Mine!"
Tenor: There's a cute blonde known as Janice Rand
Choir: HANDS OFF! SHE'S MINE!
Tenor: Then there's Uhura to lend a hand
Choir: HANDS OFF! SHE'S MINE!
Tenor: Then along came Deanna Troi and Seven of Nine
Choir: HANDS OFF! SHE'S MINE!
Tenor: And all these babes look mighty fine.
Choir: HANDS OFF! SHE'S MINE!
ALL: Keep your hands off my babe, while she's on my knee.
Orchestra:...(BA-DUM!)
Choir: Keep your hands off my babe, for she belongs to me.

Those are actually quite catchy...the tune seems to pop right out of the page! Well done John!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By John A. Lang on Sunday, January 30, 2005 - 01:59 pm:

Here's the rest of the musical...
SONG 3
Gordon Lawyer's Lament or "I Ordered SWR and All I Got Was This Lousy Showerhead."
Tenor: (As Gordon)
When I moderate.
I am never late.
I give each posting a good look.
Then one day, Phil Farrand wanted to send me his book.
And when the package came,
I wonder who I should blame
that in place of the book...bright and red
All I got was this lousy showerhead.
Choir:
I Ordered The Son, The Wind and the Reign and All I Got Was This Lousy Showerhead.
Tenor: (As Gordon)
What kind of jerk
would go to all that work
of taking the book that I never read.
By unwrapping the package and replacing it with a showerhead?
Choir:
I Ordered The Son, The Wind and the Reign and All I Got Was This Lousy Showerhead.
==================================================
SONG 4
10 FOOT TALL APE THINGS
Choir:
Watch out...for the 10 foot tall ape things
Watch out...and listen to the way it sings.
Watch out...they're coming your way.
Watch out...don't get eaten today.
==================================================
SONG 5
SOMEKINDA...
Choir:
Somekinda something
Somekinda object to behold
Somekinda something
Somekinda item whose name is untold
Bass:
I don't know what is is.
I will just have to make a guess.
I'll compare it with something familiar
and hope I don't make a mess.
Choir:
Somekinda something
Somekinda object to behold
Somekinda something
Somekinda item whose name is untold
==================================================
SONG 6
From The Moment I First Met You...
Tenor:
Anakin, you're not very romantic.
I'm sure you meant well.
But your lines of romance to Padme'
SMELL! SMELL! SMELL!
Choir:
From the moment I first met you, all those years ago, a day hasn't gone by that I've not thought of you, and now that I 'm with you again, I'm in agony. The closer I get to the worst it gets. The thought of not being with you makes my stomach turn, my mouth goes dry. I get dizzy, I can't breathe. I'm haunted by that kiss you should never have given me. My heart is beating, hoping that kiss will not become a scar. What can I do? I will do anything you ask...If you are suffering as much as I am, please tell me.
Tenor: What kind of come on is that?!
==================================================
SONG 7
KREE!
Choir:
KREE!
(Orchestra)...BA DA DA DUM!
Choir:
KREE!
(Orchestra)...BA DA DA DUM!
Choir: Kree is the word that set us free!....KREE!
(Orchestra)...BA DA DA DUM!
Choir:
KREE is the way life was meant to be!

By creating our own adventures

We are the League of Intergalactic Cosmic Champions.
We create a lot of quests.
We love to challenge each others' mental capacities

It really, really is.

(To the tune of New York, New York)
Start listin' the nits, I'm postin' today
I want to be a part of it
Nit-C, Nit-C
These anxious fingers, are longing to type
Right through the very heart of it
Nit-C, Nit-C
I want to wake up, at a site that never sleeps
And find I'm king of the flubs
Top of the heap
These little site blues, are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old Nit-C
If I can nitpick there, I'll nitpick anywhere
It's up to you, Nit-C....Nit-C

Garbage Dump Theme
(Sung to "Gilligan's Island"...sort of)
Just sit right back & you'll hear the tale, a tale of a fateful website.
That started out at only 5000 k's, aboard the mighty internet.
The Chief was a brave webmaster,
the posters brave and sure.
Everyone thought things went well because the site was pure.... the site was pure.
Then one day some Trolls came by and flamed everyone in sight.
By bringing up subject likes Rabbi Kahane and racial slurs... the website seemed to be lost.... the website seemed to be lost.
Then one day the Chief created a place for these flames to be stored.
They would be there until they were deleted, so they'd bother no one no more.
There in the GARBAGE DUMP!
---------------------------------------------------------------
By Only Slight Changes on Tuesday, February 01, 2005 - 11:43 am:

(to the tune of "Kids")
Trolls!
I don't know what's wrong with these trolls today!
Trolls!
Who can understand anything they say?
Trolls!
They're all disobedient, disrespectful oafs!
Noisy, crazy, dirty, lazy, loafers
and while we're on the subject:
Trolls!
You can post and post till your face is blue!
Trolls!
But they still just do what they want to do!
Why can't they be like we are,
Perfect in every way?
What's the matter with trolls today?

By Thande on Tuesday, February 01, 2005 - 12:54 pm:

To the tune of "The Beverly Hillbillies":
Come listen to a story 'bout a man named Phil,
Who wrote a book with which nits he'd fill,
And founded a Guild where all could fit,
Until they got a website which they called Nit!
Central, THAT IS... Brash Reflections. Bulletin Board.
And everything was going pretty fine,
From Tee-Oh-Ess to Dee-Ess-Nine,
But before you could blink, what did you see,
But the site collapsing and erasing Tee!
En-Gee, THAT IS... The Next Generation.
Still every'thing got back into place,
Receiving posts from all the human race,
With 10 foot tall giant ape things too,
Klingon tacos, and redshirts' due!
-Ty, THAT IS... to die repeatedly.
Now everything's going great and grand,
As all the trolls have just been banned,
And as for Phil - well, what has he done?
Wrote another book - and it's called the Son!
Wind, and the Reign, THAT IS... buy it now!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
By ScottN, who drew a blank for some reason on Tuesday, February 01, 2005 - 01:59 pm:

To the tune of "Feelings"
Tacos...
Nothing more than tacos...
Trying to eat those Martok's tacos!
Klingons...
Making all those recipes...
Making all those tacos... tacos for me!
Tacos
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Tacos...
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Tacos...
Tacos just for me!

Have you ever seen a Roving Mod get down? -- Slammin’ Jammin’ to the NitC sound
Yeah, everybody let’s move -- Butch is here with the New Post Groove
Gonna rock, and roll this place -- With the power of the Butch K bass
Nitman, ya know I’m not playin’ -- Devastate the show while the mods are sayin:

Chorus:

GO GO GO
Go Butch K, Go Butch K, GO; Go Butch K, Go Butch K, GO!
Go Butch K, Go Butch K. GO; Go Butch K, Go Butch K, GO!
GO GO GO GO

Trollies, you better run and hide -- Because one day you might not slide
Choose your flame but don’t you bump -- Butch’s in control with the power of the Gar Dump
Rockin’ the crowd the way it should be rocked -- With the NitC drop that you like alot
Hittin like a Roving Mod when the posts kick in -- You better check your Last Day
The power of the K Man is strong -- Fightin’ all the trolls until they’re all out cold

It's such a pain
for "Anonymous" to post about Rabbi Kahane
without a single wane.

What has this guy to gain
to be such a bane?
Is "Annonymous" insane?

THE NITPICKER
(To the tune of "The Wanderer", originally by Dion and the Belmonts)

Oh, I'm the type of guy who watches my T.V.
With an eagle eye for noncontinuity,
Every single spoken word and the smallest little prop,
If something seems amiss I'll blow the whistle like a cop

They call me the nitpicker, yeah, the nitpicker,
I point out the flubs, the flubs, the flubs

It all started with the guides and like a snowball it then grew,
Now there's a whole group of us online with nothing better to do,
Movies, books, and comics, even the lyrics to songs,
Perhaps the funny farm is where we all belong

They call me the nitpicker, yeah, the nitpicker,
I point out the flubs, the flubs, the flubs

People they make these works of art,
All we can do is spot their flaws,
I think if I were them,
I'd want to come to my front door and bust my jaw

Now every single program that falls under my gaze,
From the nightly news to reruns of Happy Days,
Anything I notice that just doesn't seem quite right,
Sends me running to log on to the nitcentral site

They call me the nitpciker, yeah, the nitpicker,
I point out the flubs, the flubs, the flubs

Yet another Anonymous Hymn

VERSE 1

Sometimes he's Mike, sometimes he's Will,
and sometimes times he's Doug or AnonyMatt.
Other times he's Norbert, other times he's The Authentic Fan,
and sometimes he's some other fake name like that.
Depsite what his real name is, or where he lives in this land
What I want to know is:
What part of "NO" don't you understand?

CHORUS

No more meaningless or duplicate posts
We've tried our best to be hospitable hosts.
So whether you're at home or on the sand
What I want to know is:
What part of "NO" don't you understand?

VERSE 2

Whether it be Rabbi Kahane or comparisons to "Voyager" or something in Russian.
Whether it be William Shatner on returning to Star Trek or any other pointless discussion.
It seems to me, you need a helping hand.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be asking you:
"What part of "NO" don't you understand?"

(Repeat chorus)

The Ballad of John A. Lang

We get a bang
out of John A. Lang
and his jokes, posts & nits.

He posts ten times a day
He blows us all away
with his quipping that never quits.

He loves Deanna Troi-
she brings him much joy
He likes her because she's so fine.
But if you mention any lust
about her nice butt or bust
He reminds us "Hands off! She's Mine!"

He brought us the "Scpipts"
When it should have been "scripts"
something that Roddenberry should have seen.
Let's hear it for John A. Lang
for whom the church bells rang
to announce he's peachy keen!


By Thande on Thursday, February 10, 2005 - 3:43 am:

Following on from Todd Pence's piece, here is "I'm a Nitpicker" to the tune of Elvis' recently rediscovered single "I'm a Roustabout":

They write it up,
I knock it down,
They ignore continuity,
Which gives me a frown.

They put it on the screen,
Flubs make me go green,
But it's still there,

And I can't get mad,
'Cause I'm a Nitpicker.

Bring in new races,
But same old ships,
Between shots the level changes,
Of drink at their lips.

Wimping up the Borg,
Throwing in a Warg,
But it's still there,

And I can't get mad,
'Cause I'm a Nitpicker.

All day and night all they think about is cost,
As far as they're concerned the vision can get lost!

Cancelled show,
In the red,
Better still,
Stay in bed.

Want to get them here,
Yell it in their ear,
But it's still there.

And I can't get mad,
'Cause I'm a Nitpicker.

(Refrain, etc.)


Actually, come to think of it, that's also ended up as an anti-Enterprise rant...oh well, there are only so many words that rhyme with 'continuity'... :)

"I'm A Nitpicker & I'm OK"
(Sung to: "I'm A Lumberjack & I'm OK"...AS IF I needed to tell you that!)

Man: I'm a Nitpicker and I'm OK
I sleep all night & I nitpick all day

Men's choir: He's a Nitpicker and he's OK
He sleeps all night & nitpicks all day.

Man: I post lots of nits, make lots of jokes, I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shopping, and have buttered scones with tea.

Man: I nitpick the other nitpickers, I crack lots of quips, I'm always on-line.
My phone bill is astronomic at 88.99

Man: I'm either in my pajamas, in my uniform or in the nude.
I'm always careful what I post, cuz' I don't want to be considered rude.

John,

in the translation for Phil's guide, Nitpicker has been translated as Beckmesser in German (from the opera "Die Meistersinger von Nuernberg", where a character apparently nitpicks all the time.) Just so you know :)

Hoping he'll do the translated version from "Monty Python Fliegender Zirkus" next, eh Constanze? :)

Oh Nitcentral!

How do you know it is a take off of Oklahoma! not Oh, Calcutta!

(I'd rather see ScottN and Luigi dancing to "The Farmers and the Cowboys should be friends" instead of seeing them naked in the last act.)

:)

(The ":)" indicates sarcasm sometimes, but I realy don't want to see ScottN and Luigi naked. Really, reallllly, reallllllly. OK guys?)

I don't think you stand alone there BB!

BTW- I am pleased that I have given another vent for John's warped mind.

I myself prefer the Weird Al style parodies to original tunes (I'm hopeless at composition), but to each his own.

Spambot, Spambot

Benn's Song

Oh Benn, you have been
a great Nitpicker here at NitC.
But you left due to a flame
so you're not to blame
for leaving NitC eternally.

Oh, Gentle Benn
Grim Reaper on the Day the Music Died
Live long and prosper
There will be a void here at NitC
Now that you've goodbye'd
