-Yo Grix!
-Open up man!
-What do you want man?
-Snuggly just caught me…
-What did you do….
-I don’t know how I let this happen….
-What?
-I tried to buy the Erotic Witch Project for a prize
-Erm..
-I don’t know what to do!
-Say it wasn’t you…
-Alright!
He replied saying I wasn’t 18,
I cringed in distress,
Picture this I was so embaaarrassed how could I have done this,
I had got no fake ID and had it in my hands
Snuggers laughed at me so I dropped the DVD and ran!
(Meka Dragon Shaggy style)
Oh you musss un forget your fake id
Erotic Witch Project is hot property
You better watch out when trying to buy DVDs underage
Cos if it’s naughty stuff that’s 18 you don’t’ stand a chance,
The situation won’t get no better,
A wea won player do you understand what I am saying
Dis canna say a way
Seeing wan being better better speak yous specs.
But he knows my parents!
It wasn’t you
He had a good look at my face
It wasn’t you
He even knows my nickname on the forums!!
It wasn’t you
How can you expect him not to tell them!
It wasn’t you
He will put it on the upwire!
It wasn’t you
He will post it on the chat forums!
It wasn’t you
Meka Dragon you really have no idea,
HOW CAN I PROVE IT WASN’T ME!?!
IT wasn’t you
IT SO BADLY WAS ME! I CAN’T AVOID THIS SITUATION!! I’M DOOMED I TELL YOU DOOMED!!
(Meka Dragon and Grix start having a fight abandoning the song)
I sometimes copy reviews from other sites,
In hope of getting a game,
That sure helps but when I don’t win I get depressed,
See everything on your site is great, It’s totally real
And I respect you because you give away free games,
My girlfriends jealous because I have photos of you all over my walls!
But she don’t know how great you are like I do Tony,
No one does,
SCARY, VERY SCARY!
And btw SHAME ON YOU TONY for obviously reading my post in the Virtual Newbie section and making your own gameaday on it!! (but also cheers mate cos it's a fun idea :D)
New song coming any minute now........
My teas gone cold I’m wondering why… I got out of bed at all.. Morning rain clouds at my window and I can’t see at all. Even if I could it would all be great, put a picture on my wall. It reminds me that it’s not so bad it’s not so bad…
“Dear Tony I wrote a review but I still ain’t won nowt.
It was 50 words long and was wonderful without a doubt…
I sent two posts back in Autumn,
you must notta got them probably a problem with the network or something..”
Sometimes I don’t check my spellings too often,
Rush them quickly without a second thought and post them
Anyway anyway wassup man how’s your daughter,
My daughters getting married too
I’m about to fork out 500 or so quid for her big do,
I spent loads of cash on dresses and wedding cakes and more
However my speech is sadly not as great as yours
I read about your extra gameadays too man,
I entered every one,
Did you like my nice suggestion of advertising in “The Sun”?
I know you probably hear this everyday but I need a gameaday,
I contribute to this site in every way
I got a room full of games from your site,
From Max Payne to Sonic right?
I like that deal you did with free Encarta 99,
Which I got when I registered for 6.99
Anyway I hope you let me win for this,
Add my name to the gameaday site,
Truly yours,
Special Reserve’s biggest fan,
This is Dan...."

"Dear Toners
You still ain’t given me a prize
I hope you get me on the winners list soon
I ain’t mad I just want to win a copy of Sonic Adventure 2,
If you didn’t want to give me a game for my Extra gameaday idea,
You didn’t have to,
But you could have given me one for my Max Payne review!
That’s my favourite game man,
It took me one hour to write,
I tried my best,
with all my might,
But obviously The gameaday blokes just said NO!
That’s pretty out of order man,
I wrote it in my spare time,
Not giving it a game is one hell of a crime
After all I’ve spent hundreds in your shop more than pb does,
I ain’t that mad I just don’t like buying games,
Remember in Chelmsford I was 10p short and your shop assistants sent me out into the rain,
Just 10p man! That was mega lame!
All I wanted was a copy of Serious Sam,
That game looks brilliant man!
You gotta let me win because I can’t afford it,
I can relate to what you talk about on ukchatforums,
So when I have a rubbish day,
I go on my computer and turn it on,
I ain’t got much else to do, I’m such a geek,
I can’t be bothered to right much but I try my best,
My writings all scrappy and it usually looks a mess,
I sometimes copy reviews from other sites,
In hope of getting a game,
That sure helps but when I don’t win I get depressed,
See everything on your site is great, It’s totally real
And I respect you because you give away free games,
My girlfriends jealous because I have photos of you all over my walls!
But she don’t know how great you are like I do Tony,
No one does,
She doesn’t understand my respect for you giving away games,
YOU GOTTA LET ME WIN MAN!
I’d be the biggest fan you’d ever lose,
Sincerely yours Dan,
PS. SPECIAL RESERVE RULEZ!"

"Dear Mister I’m too good to give Dan a gameaday,
This will be the last message I send on your site!
It’s been six months and still no game!
I don’t deserve it?
I know you got my last two emails,
I checked the email address was perfect!
So this is my email I’m sending you I hope you read it!
I’ve got a email hacker working now,
Hacking PBs email account!
Soon enough the games I win will mount!
Hey Tony I’m claiming Pbs gameaday!
Sending it to my postal address!
All I wanted was a lousy gameaday you fool,
Now I’ve gone to stealing this ain’t like me at all!
I loved you Tony why didn’t you give me a gameaday?
Think about it!
You’ve ruined it now,
No more emails will I send you,
Anyway I’m going to bed now,
I’m never coming back,
Why am I telling you all this? I won’t get my game!
Oh **** I shouldn’t have sent this out!!!"

(I did do a really cool Tony part but accidently wrote a minor bad word and when I pressed back it had gone and I had to do it again.. so where it goes)
Dear Dan,
I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy,
I'm glad you enjoy our site but going mad over gameadays is just silly,
I've read your posts, your posts we didn't miss,
It's just you need to write more than 20 words to stand a chance to get on the list,
Look I'm really flattered that you have posters of me,
And look for Serious Sam I'll give you that 10p
I'm sorry you were rejected at the Chelmsford store,
It was probably my daughters husband Wayne,
I understand he can sometimes be a real pain,
But whats this crap about you hacking pbs account,
Pb wins for a good reason (he's won 22 if you count)
Now Dan I think you need some counselling,
Getting this worked up over winning a game is not worthwhile,
Instead I suggest you try to mimic pb's style,
write long meaningful posts that make people smile,
I really think you need to try much harder,
If you want to win a gameaday like pb and Dogfather,
I hope you get to read this email,
I jsut hope it reaches you in time,
before you doing something crazy,
Just take more time with your reviews don't be so lazy,
I think that you will be doing just fine,
If you relax a little,
I'm glad you respect me,
But Dan why are you so mad,
It's only a gameaday!
I just don't want you to do something crazy,
Yesterday a guy attacked Sawsbridgeworth store guns ablazing,
HE exited with 50 games and got a stich and stopped for a sec,
The police followed and while he was stopped they shot him in the neck,
Then the police found an ID card which said his name in blue,
His name was Dan,
His name was...
It was you.........
DAMN
Gently down the stream (of topics)
If you see a newbiedile
Don't forget to scream
AH!

And clap your hands twice
And if it looks like this
Then you're doin' it right
A little bit of

The gameaday man
A little bit of Tony, Tony, Tony
The gameaday man
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,
You're paralyzed
'Cause this is xbox, xbox night
And no one's gonna save you from the xbox about to strike
You know it's xbox, xbox night
You're fighting for your PS2 life inside a er, Xbox thriller tonight
You hear the CD spin and realize there's nowhere left to play
You feel the cold pad and wonder if you'll ever see a PS2 again
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination
But all the while you hear the thing power up'its on!!
You're out of time
'Cause this is Xbox, Xbox night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with Green X
You know it's Xbox, Xbox night
You're fighting for your PS2 life inside a er, Xbox thriller tonight
Xbox creatures call
And the start to walk into your TV
There's no escapin' the poor xbox games come to life
This is the end of your life
They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side
They will possess you unless you change the console to PS2
Now is the time for you and I to play together
All thru the night
I'll make you see
That it's a Xbox, Xbox night
'Cause I can thrill you more than any Gamecube would dare to try
Girl, this is Xbox, Xbox night
So let me hold you tight and share a er, controller, for the PS2
Xbox is here tonight
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Xbox crawls in search of blood
To take over your neighborhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside an Xbox's shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The microsoft box is nearly there
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the Xbox night, AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG
