"Showtime" by Malcolm Brown of the Homestuck music team.

Lyrics and vocals by the unaffiliated York Bezbozny.

(WV)
Start
Your
Eche
Climb
Cuz'
It's
Show
TIME!

(Narrator)
Don your awesome clothes and take your hammer in hand,
I think you'll find it will come handy in this greasy black land.
Imps 'll start attacking now so what 'll ya do?
I think you'll find that's up to you.

(John)
Put the bunny back, in the box or else I'll be forced to smack you
Think I'm bluffing? Well seems you misread
I'll go all Maxwell on your head.

(Narrator)
If you want to climb your eche ladder and beyond,
Just keep on aggressing and don't ever abscond.
You'll become the hero peasants talk of in tales,
-or else you'll be trapped in the veil.
(WV)
John keep fighting on
Make use of your brains instead of your brawn
Salvage your sledge hammer
And smear this imp on the wall

(John)
Did
You
Not
Hear
Me
When
I
Said
Put
The
Bun-
-ny
Back
In
The
Box!

Awesome !

5, 10 and fav for this awesome and funny work on the song.

You've got a peculiar way of singing. Ha ha, that's absolutely fantastic, and that suits totally perfectly to the music. Great lyrics, great way to throw them on this short song. I'm sure it's hard to deliberately sing with a delayed flow and trying not to be too melodious while still being.
It's an awesome work you gave here, and you are all very good.
The result is really of high quality, and i salute the success of such an exercise (even if I got the feeling that you are used to do such songs.)

Also, great job on those littles parts in the middle and the end where you just talk after the big 8bit noises, that is contributing to the humor and made me even laugh.

Another point which is noticeable and that gives evidence of your great job is your choice in the parts of the song that must have been sang, talked, or used as ambient to install your background noises and kind of theatrical actions.

I guess there is nothing to improve on the song. Yes actually, one thing, turning the volume of the song a little up, cause it's a bit erased by your loud voices. It's not disturbing for the fight 8bit sounds, cause it breaks with the song, but I guess you should try to lower your voices.

For your next songs, just a clue : you are not forced to sing the same melody as the main theme, and using the voice as another melodic line is sometimes really benefic, giving the song a bit more density. No problem here, it is really perfect. Super original and well done.

Bezbozny responds:

I'm glad you mentioned the volume and the "...not forced to sing the same as the melody" thing. I was actually thinking about both of those and I'm glad I'm not the only one. Could you please weigh in on my other homestuck songs too?

haha!

Well done,another piece well made! the only thing i have against this is of course the bad signing in this song,but then again,you guys can sure make cool songs! i think i'll favorite you 'cause you're so awesome :)

Bezbozny responds:

Thanks for the review. How do you think it can be improved? I know the singing is bad, but I don't know exactly where I should improve and where it should be intentionally bad for the sake of humor.
Like for instance, which lines do you think I should re-do?
