Smite Me, Infant, One More Time

[filkertom]

ninjapeps in scans_daily aims us to this thread, which asks the musical question: "How would the Mighty Thor reinterpret contemporary pop hits?"

Got anything to add here?

I think my two-month-old has been listening to that. JJ smites me pretty regularly.

"Bang! Bang! Mjolnir, Thor's great hammer came down upon his head!
Bang! Bang! Mjolnir, Thor's great hammer made sure, that he was dead."

Here We art, Princes of the Universe!

[actually, pretty much anything by Queen would work!]

Hee. I don't know, but clearly these guys should perform whatever we come up with.

The sun doth burn and is high o'er Midgard's skies.
My thews are burning, but you shall not see fear in mine eyes.
My fate before me as I climb in and look to the road.
I trigger Thor's lightning and it doth ver-i-ly explode.

The thunder throws me high o'er Rainbow Bridge.
With one final thought as I fly towards Odin's Hall.
I shall conquer Foul Loki if it is the last blow I strike!

Now that's getting personal, Lion of Asgard!

It's not exactly contemporary pop but...

this thread did inspire me to write this. (http://nimitzbrood.livejournal.com/38683.html)

I'm sure a pop song for this will fall out of my skull here today sometime. More "One Week" lyrics leap to mind...

... The Mighty Roy...?

Wouldst that I stood 'pon care-worn Stony Peak,
Below in the vales of Tennessee.
'Tis no pollution-filled smoke 'pon Stony Peak,
Nor scrolls from AT&T.

One cannot cultivate maize 'pon Stony Peak,
The stones halt the growth of any seed --
'Tis why the only grain 'pon Stony Peak
is found in a tankard of mead.

Stony Peak! I shall ere regard
Thee as mine own backyard,
Noble, ancient Stony Peak,
Stony Peak of Midgard,
Stony Peak of Midgard.

In times past, varlets hied yon Stony Peak,
Seeking the nectar of Odin,
Ne'er did those varlets descend Stony Peak,
Speaking of them is verboten.

In my youth, I loved on Stony Peak,
A witch born of Ursa and Felis,
As weasel unchecked, as mead honey-flecked,
And my slumber is yet haunted by this Venus.

Stony Peak! I shall ere regard
Thee as mine own backyard,
Noble, ancient Stony Peak,
Stony Peak of Midgard,
Stony Peak of Midgard.

Oh...my Ghu...

Best I could think of was "Art thou are or art thou not mine leman?"

Yep. Once again filkertom (http://filkertom.livejournal.com/) shows that he is head and shoulders above others. :-)


OT: LJ newbie question - How do you guys make that username link show up with the little head next to it?

Re: It's not exactly contemporary pop but...

[nimitzbrood.livejournal.com]

Man, compared to you guys I'm a hack... :-/

Thanks kindly. And, there's an "lj user" tag that looks like this:

<lj user="nimitzbrood">

Just enter that HTML, substituting the LJ user ID you want, and voila.

Cool. Thanks filkertom!

What if God was Jack Kirby?
Just a slob like Jack Kirby?
A guy who drew circuitry
And basic shapes made out of chrooooome?

He'd call the Bowery his hooooome

With fuzzy face and hairless doooome

With apologies to Thomas Dolby

Tis skaldic in frolicry
She hast cast her maiden’s eyes upon me
As deep as open sea
As honeyed as any bardicry
Mmm – but she hath plucked my eyes with seid
“She hath plucked my eyes with seid”
And proclaimed me lacking in Freyr’s artistry

When I doth pull her tightly in dance
“Plucked my eyes with Seid – Seid!”
My nose inhales the potions
“Plucked my eyes with Seid – Seid!”
“Seid!”
“Seid!”

Mmm – but tis skaldic in frolicry
She hast cast her maiden’s eyes upon me
As deep as open sea
As honeyed as any bardicry
Mmm – but she hath plucked my eyes with Seid
And proclaimed me unlearned of Odin’s mysteries

When she doth circle me in dance
“Plucked my eyes with Seid – Seid!”
“Seid!”
I can hear Loki’s trickery
“Plucked my eyes with Seid – Seid!”
“Seid!”

Tis skaldic in frolicry
And now she hast bedded me
The stars above are writhing
The runes read favorably
“She hath plucked my eyes with Seid”
“She hath plucked my eyes with Seid!”
And struck me with Dvegr devilry

“Great Asgard, shieldmaiden Sakamoto – thou art beautiful!”
My – My eyes deceive me!
There she dost flee again!
She has scoured the room, and Mjollnir cannot be found!
My mead and flagon
My belt, Megingjord
And the runes of my youth

Alas! – tis skaldic in frolicry
And when she dost cast her maiden’s eyes upon me
As deep as open sea
As honeyed as any bardicry
Mmm – but she hath plucked my eyes with seid
“Plucked my eyes with Seid – Seid!”
“Seid!”

*applause* I suspect the Bryants would love it.
