Eyes On Pie

[Baloki]

Remember those sweet, warm forum threads where people used to change famous songs to be about EoFF?

Remember sipping lemonade underneath a shady tree?

Remember when you double-posted and tried to make it like you seemed to?

EoFF remembers, but EoFF ain't just gonna keep it to EoFF's self free of charge. Maybe you go out and post some lyrics of your own, maybe this whole thing disappears.

A long long time ago
I can still remember how that forum used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people post
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But November made me shiver
With every thread the server would deliver
Bad news in Eyes on Each Other
I couldn't make one more post
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day BoB bought EoFF

So, bye-bye, all those forum posts
Drove my chocobo to the stables
But the moogle was dry
And them good old moombas were drinkin' with shorty and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I post in Feedback
This'll be the day that I post in Feedback

Did you write Sick Irony
And do you have faith in Dr Unne
If Yamnenko tells you so
Do you believe in Avalaunche
Can SeeD save your mortal soul
And can Riona teach me how to dance real slow
Well, I know that you're in love with Zidane
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the play
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those moogles and their games
I was a lonely, genetic monstrocity
With a set of wings and an unhealthy mother obbsession
But I knew I was out of luck
The day BoB bought EoFF
I started singin'

Bye-bye, all those forum posts
Drove my chocobo to the stables
But the moogle was dry
And them good old moombas were drinkin' with shorty and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I post in Feedback
This'll be the day that I post in Feedback

Now for fourteen years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
But that's not how it used to be
When RSL sang for the Del Murder and Shlupquack
In a coat he borrowed from BOU
In a voice that came from you and me
Oh, and while Del Murder was looking down
RSL stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Iceglow read a book on punctuation
The Cids Knights practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the lounge
The day BoB bought EoFF
We were singin'

Bye-bye, all those forum posts
Drove my chocobo to the stables
But the moogle was dry
And them good old moombas were drinkin' with shorty and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I post in Feedback
This'll be the day that I post in Feedback


Food posts in a summer swelter
Raistlin flew off to general chat
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul on Shlupquacks Ass
BAoTW tried for a forward pass
With the Spam Brigade on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the iRCers played a game of TOT
We all got up to join un
Oh but we never got the chance
'Cause the ops tried to take the field
The members refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day BoB bought EoFF
We started singing

Bye-bye, all those forum posts
Drove my chocobo to the stables

Oh, and there we were, all in one place
A generation lost in R=U
With no time left to start the arguement again
So come on, Bleys, be nimble, Bleys be quick
Candlestick Jack sat on...
'Cause second accounts are Psys only friend
Oh, and as I watched him post in MAPS
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as posts climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Psy laughing with delight
The day BoB bought EoFF
He was singing

Bye-bye, all those forum posts

I met FOA who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the lower forums
Where I'd heard the many great posts years before
But Jiro said the posts were no more

And in the streets the members screamed
The winners of cutest couple cried, and the writers forum dreamed
But not a word was typed
The keyboards all were broken
And the three men I admire most
BoB, Psy and the Del
They caught the last train for the coast
The day BoB bought EoFF
And they were singin'

Bye-bye, all those forum posts
Drove my chocobo to the stables

[noxious.sunshine]

People still write EoFF parodies. Calliope did a couple recently and so did some other members. :P

[fire_of_avalon]

YES YES, PARODY THREAD.

EVERYONE PARODY. EVERYONE.

GOOD PERFORMERS COME PERFORM PARODIES.

Parody.

[Shorty]

I don't think foa posted this publicly. Even if she did, it deserves more attention.

Context: I discovered that the Neon Trees lived nextdoor to my jr. high/high school/current best friend and that I met them and we all made party pizzas together or something, but forgot all of this somehow. (I have a terrible memory and everyone knows this.)

Neon Trees - Everybody Talks

baaawwww baaawww baaaaawww

Hey Sarah when you were a girl
you went once to stay at my place.
Now I'm famous and you forgot cause
your memories have been displaced.

You cannot remember things that happened minutes ago
Your brain is mush cause of early onset early onset
early onset dementia.

It started with my birthdaaaaaay
It was only last Mondaaaay
But you thought it was Sundaaay
Sometimes you think it's Chanukaaaah
And I'm your friend Veronicaaaa
But I can't really help yaaaaaaaaaa~
Cause of the dementiaaaaaa

Oh Shorty well we tried some meds then
then had you draw a clock-face.
Instead of hands you went digital
you didn't really get the purpose.

Memories lost cause of
early onset early onset
early onset dementia.

I am really famoooous
It makes you really wanna cuuuuuss
Cause you can't remember uuuusss
You don't have an inkling
'bout how my eyes were twinkliiing
and now your brow is wrinkling
Cause of the dementiaaaaa

I'd love to help you out of this here cruuuunch
But you don't even know what you had for luuuuuunch

Hey Shorty when we first met
You thought that my band was coool
You know, the one... who are you...?

We started with some small taaaalk
Songs that made you wanna roooock
But then you lost all of your thoooought
You think that I am lots of fuuuuun
and that it's nineteen ninety oooooone
And sometimes that you are a nuuuuuuuuuun
Cause of the demeeeeeeeentiiiiiiiiaaaaa.

Nicky and Pike have done some great parodies. I am particularly fond of The Flower Girl I Used To Know, which I think was done by Sephex.

[Loony BoB]

We should definitely get a full collection of these and have people sing each and every one of them.

[Bubba]

I'm all over this. I might even record my finished effort.

[Bubba]

Double post alert! My song is finished! Click here to listen to a very rough recording...

Hide it in FF 5 where no one ever goes
Put it in Quina's Kitchen with your cupcakes
It's a little secret, just an April Fools' affair
Most of all, you've got to hide it from the kids

Coo, coo, ca-choo, Mr. Robinson

Sitting on the forums on a Sunday afternoon
Posting in the 'R is U' debate
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Ev'ry way you look at it, you lose

Where have you gone, crono_logical?
Help Forum turns its lonely eyes to you (Woo, woo, woo)
What's that you say, Mr. Robinson?
The Highwind has left and gone away
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)
