This is my submission to MAC 09 "Valoltines"
Love... the most beautiful feeling, a feeling that gives you sometimes wings, sometimes erections... and fills your heart with joy, happiness, pink stars, and heart-shaped butterflies...
As most of you already know, there is a very strong symbol of love that have it's own cult here on Newgrounds, well, this song is dedicated to that very symbol of love and to all those crazy little things that people do, feel and share for the sake of LOVE.
Here's to you all crazy love birds, Happy Valentines !

This song is supposed to be a parody, so, here we go with a... listener's guide to the penicorn's epic journey through love songs, a list of things that i'm mocking/quoting in my track:
- Barry White (the deep voice in the beginning)
- Kenny G (the syrupy soprano saxophone theme)
- Linkin' Park (the "radio" speaking voice repeating useless what is singing)
- All shitty pop songs that have lyrics with absolutely no meaning, sense and logic
- All the "EPIC" soundtrackish NG trend of Hans Zimmer/ John Williams wannabes
- "I Will Always Love You"
- Beethoven's 9-th Symphony
- Beatles "All You Need is Love" and "She Loves You"
So, lets put the LOL into VaLOLtines ;)

Lyrics:
(Barry White style - There comes a time in every man's life when he finds the right woman... well, baby, you're the one. You make me feel butterflies in my stomach. When you're around I FEEL LIKE A PENICORN)
-chorus-
You Make me feel (backing: you make me feel, make me feel)
Like a penicorn (backing: you make me feel, make me feel)
You Make me feel (backing: you make me feel, make me feel)
Like a penicorn (backing: you make me feel, make me feel)
-verse-
Strawberry clouds, so sweet (rap: strawberry clouds, so sweet)
Baby I'm at your feet (rap: listen to my heart beat)
Butterflies in my head (rap: butterflies in my head)
I wanna hold your hand
(dialog:
-ah... that was very beautiful, nice lyrics too
-but pookie-wookie, this not really rhymed too good, you
know, "hand" with, with "head"...
-hm... I guess you're right... well then let's stop talking and play a guitar solo.)
-guitar solo-
(dialog:
-mmm... yes, oh yes, oh faster, faster... well, don't tell me you're done already.
-oh, no baby, I'm just getting started.
"radio announcer"
-So here we go with the "Epic Symphony of Love" !)
...
(dialog:
-oh, yes, you're an animal !
-well, yes, I'm a penicorn)
-chorus-
You Make me feel (backing: you make me feel, make me feel) - (rap: you make me feel, you make me feel)
Like a penicorn (backing: you make me feel, make me feel) - (rap: flying high in the sky)
You Make me feel (backing: you make me feel, make me feel) - (rap: you make me feel, you make me feel)
Like a penicorn (backing: you make me feel, make me feel) - (rap: flying high in the sky)
(meanwhile "The Beatles" who took the time machine just to get on Newgrounds somehow, come in singing "All you need is love" while John Lennon forget what is going on and sings "She loves you")
(dialog:
-Who are those hairy little guys?
-Those are "The Beatles" !
-Never heard of them ...
(after song finished, John Lennon jumped on the penicorn and flied away, so we had to send a clone back in time to be shot.
Happy End !)
Happy Valentines ! Love is all you need !
