Anybody here familiar with Stephen Lynch, the singing comedian? He's got a song that's an ode to Dungeons & Dragons. When I first read of Mr. Gygax's passing I immediately had the song running thru my head. Here's the lyrics (no offense meant to any hardcore D&D'ers here, remember as I said I used to dabble in it myself, I just think this song is funny as hell)...
I got my twelve-sided die and I’m ready to roll
With a Wizard and my Goblin crew
My friends are comin’ over to my mom’s basement
Bringin’ Funyons and Mountain Dew
I got a big broad sword made outta cardboard
And the stereo’s a-pumpin Zeppelin
It’s that time of the night we turn on the black light
Let the Dungeons and the Dragons Begin!
It’s D & D…Fightin with the Legends of Yore
It’s D & D…Never kissed a lady before!
(Nope!)
Now the Lord of the Rings, The Dark Crystal and things
We use these as a reference tool
And when we put on our cloaks and tell Warlock jokes
We're the coolest kids at the school!
(No we’re not!)
Now Teich's a real bastard, but he's a fair dungeon master
He’s got hit points and charisma to lend
And I rehearse in my room or what I call The Dragon’s Tomb
When I’m not out with my girlfriend
(Wait, wait, wait a minute…You’ve got a girlfriend?)
Well, yea, I got a girlfriend….uh…no. No I don’t.
It’s D&D…fightin’ with the demons from Hell
It’s D&D … when my shift ends at the Taco Bell
It’s D & D …Warriors who terrify
It’s D & D…Virgins till the day we…. DIE...!
