My fellow countrymen...

I gather ye here on this cold and grey winter's day to enlist your help.

The Dragon which goes by the name of Meka hath returned to terrorise our once peaceful land. We thought we were rid of the beast, but no!

Though the fire may be gone from his belly, he is back to shatter our peace and tranquility with his awful voice and corny songs!

But I say 'No more!'

We must rise up together and defend our homes, our children, and our country from this scourge! Only this morning, the sound of 'Agadoo' could be heard booming from the hills. But this wan't just any 'Agadoo' - oh no. This was a perverse, twisted version - created by the creature to have a profoundly damaging effect on the minds, hearts and souls of our people.

Now I ask you, my friends... is this the sort of land where you wish to raise your children? Of course it isn't! So we must head to the cave in the hills and slay this hideous beast before it is to late.

Who is with me?

I did YMCA before Xmas!

It became S-E-G-A!

I think it might be easier to find on the Dreamcast forum?

Pseudo also means resembling or

That would fit better.

Chris Moyles has done a parody of Uptown Girl on Radio1.

It goes a little something like this:

Number1
You know it's gonna be a number1
something something plain to see
Cause all the profits go to charity......

Quite funny.

It's a fair cop Guv.

Okay, I'll call an end to my songs for now.

I'd like to say that Witness#1 song was very good. I too have once parodied Blur (Song Playstation2).

But let this be a warning to you all, I haven't quit my song writing, just gone into a temporary hibernation.

A bit like Shaggy really, only rarely releasing songs, but always making an impact!

So no more songs until at least April from me, then if anyone else posts any songs, I shall again issue my warning.

If this is ignored the songs shall return.


Also come Xmas I shall only post songs if there is another charity appeal!

After much deliberation I have decided to release a statement explainig exactly why I chose the given punishment for Meka_Dragon.

First for the defence: The fact that he won TWO game-a-day's with his song like postings. Either utter rubbish was posted on those particular days, or Ali has absolutley NO taste. Agreed enough notice was given and er-no did, indeed, break an alleged treaty.

I cannot susbscribe to the sympathy vote for the fact that he is about to lose his record deal, write better songs, then you may not lose you deal.

I fear that the suggestion by both myself and the prosecution may not be enough to stop this onslaught of song parodies which are now starting to plague the SR forums. From alleged "witty ditty's" that Meka has posted IN THIS VERY THREAD, to complete travesties of song writing and blatant plagerism (sp ?) of well known classics. This cannot continue, from one "harmless" parody we have little song like posts all over the place. Witness#1 gave his whole evidence in song form, there is no place for this sort of ambiguity anywhere in these forums.

Er-no and FantasyMeister have already jumped up on the "humurous song" bandwagon, I fear it will not be long until the whole of these forums are filled with these time wasting posts!

The "Agadoo" parody pushed me to my limits when I read your version, I was offened, nay, astonished at what I was reading. I thought these forums were full of young, enthusiastic people, who ever knows all the words to that song well enough to re-write them, and still FIT IT TO THE TUNE, should hang their head in shame. The Queen parody was reasonably witty, and, if it had not been preceded by the Agadoo, then I would not have had to hand down a setence as harsh as the one that i have.

Thus lies the reasoning behind my sentence.

Pseudo also means resembling or imitating...
