In this day and age who could ask for a theme?
The game wave was high with players mysterious
All Ninties and Sonyphiles are furious
'cuz they can't find the source
of this lethally gaming force
This is serious, so give me a quarter
I was a witness, get me a reporter
Call Billy O'Gates in on this case
and you better hurry up, there's no time to waste
We need games like quick on the double
Have pity on the city. Man, it's in trouble
We need games like the Lone Ranger
When Tonto came pronto when there was danger
They didn't say we'd be there in half an hour
'cuz they displayed Xbox Power
M.I.C.R.O.Soft Power (3)
Teenage Xbox Ninja Gamers
(Repeat once)
Now our ace reporter was hot on the trail
Determined to put these bad games in jail
He spied the bad games and so it happened
but before he knew it he fell in a trap and
got caught, yeah he was all lame
with no friends and no game.
Now he was in a hole, covered in lube
'cuz he was stuck, left to play 'CUBE
Headed by Shigeru they were anything but pretty
Misguided, unloved, they called them the Ninty
They could terrorize and be angry youth
and they'd mug the gamers who needed proof
Then out of the dark came an awesome sound
shouting "Cowabunga!" as they hit the ground
From the field of weeds the heroes rescued the flower
'cuz they possessed Xbox Power
M.I.C.R.O.Soft Power (3)

(Spoken)When you stand for what you believe in and find the strength to do what's right that's Xbox Power.
Gamers on a half pad, they're on a mission
When there's a battle got the enemy wishin'
That they stayed at home, instead of fightin'
These Xbox masters with moves like lightnin'
They were once normal, but now they're mutants
Microsoft's the teacher so they are the students
Grix Thraves, FantasyMeister, and Er-No
make up the team with one other fellow
SHEEPY, he's the leader of the group
transformed from the norm by the nuclear goop
Pizza's the food that's sure to please
These gamers are into pepperoni and cheese
Back to the story, it's not hard to find
gamers not just of the body but of the mind
Those are the words that the master instructed
But a letter from Shigeru had Bill Gates abducted
That was the last straw, spring into action
Step on the ninty, now they're gonna lose traction
Now this is for real, so you play for justice
Your pad is hard so you shout, "They can't dust us
off like some old coffee table."
Since you been born you been willin' and able
to defeat the sneak,
protect the weak,
play for rights and your freedom to speak
Now the villain is chillin' so you make a stand
Back to the wall put your pad in your hand
Remember the words of your teacher, your master
Nintendo moves fast, but Xbox moves faster
than light shining for your illumination
Xbox vs. Nintendo equals confrontation
So when you're in trouble don't give in and go sour
Try to rely on your Xbox Power

FM: Abused by lyrics
> Could it be that things are quiet at BT HQ now that they're losing
> all their customers to NTL and co.? ;-)
Hehe!
No, I did these last night, whilst waiting for someone!
I don't know where you find the time, matey.
Consequently, they produce more crap than most!
:-)
> You are a grown man. Gah.
:-)
I really didn't want to change too much of the original TURTLE power song - the lyrics were so bad, it had to be seen (but not heard, please, never heard) to be believed.
But I had to try to make it a little relevant to gaming.
Go on, read it through again.
Appreciate the story...
The fact remains that the single reached number one in the charts.
I dont think X-Box has much of a chance because I know this has been said before but it is too much like a PC.
I hope GC wins this war but i dont think it will happen. I think PS2 will be on top then GC then X-Box. But hey! what do i Know?
