Just recently I ahve been listening to the Anthem of the USSR quite a bit, and it has inspired me to write an anthem for HLP.
The tune is the same, and I've used the Stalinist lyrics as a base.
Here's my progress so far, it might not be historically accurate, but what the hell:
United forever in Interplay hatred,
Hard Light Productions will ever endure!
Our great Freespace forum will live through the ages,
The dream of its members, their IPs secure
Long live the HLPBB,
If only avatars were free,
Long live its members, it’s spammers and trolls
Strong in our hate of Microsoft
Long may our flag be held aloft,
Shining in JPEG for all men to see.
From guarding the Or-ff,
Where Harbison led us,
Our eyes saw the darkness of Shivans above!
And Setekh our leader, with faith in his renders,
Inspired us to build this board that we love.
and so on
Any comments?
-
excellent, only Shrike, the Great Father, and Leader of The Party is not mentioned anywhere.
25 years! Agents, take him away!
-
Well it's not finished yet, Premier Shrike will get a mention somewhere.

You have a bank account? 25 years and all the money to the Party.
Never say these things in public.

a pity you missed when shrike did the revolution, then.
me, I got executed for giving him the idea...
-
Democracy works for me...I guess Shrike can be the dicta..er..president+ if he really wants:D
-
I've always thought of Shrike more as an arch-generalissimo, father-of-his-people kind of leader
-
Il Duce?
-
If you like
-
I do. I like very much.
People don't have much to say about my anthem, though.
I'm a bit brought down about that, as it took me all of five minutes.:D
-

Excellent anthem, may we have the next verses please?
Infact, If I promise, NOT to sentence you 25 years of hard labour and being shot in the back.... twice, how long would the next verses take then?
-
Possibly forever, as I am out of ideas, I'm afraid. I will try to write some more, but I have an exam this afternoon, and another tomorrow morning.
-
can I be the director of the KGB;7
for the Party!
-
That's it!
I'll write another verse! And I'll do it now!
-
here it is, and I can't write anymore, it's making my neck hurt.

We fought for Vasuda,
Destroyed the Lucifer,
But alas our home world was severed from us,
Its story is told by Tech Room animations,
The Lost Generation will honour its name.

clap, clap, clap
:yes:
-
Yeah, but MS is l33t, without MS my computer just wouldn't work.
-
Well what do you suggest in its place?
-
Apple, cos they make Macs.
-
And what rhymes with Apple, pray tell.
-
Check the ryhming Becktionary
-
You mentioned Interplay in the opening line, but even so it could still stand where you now have Microsoft written in. In fact, it would be remiss not to put Interplay in the chorus, given the community's feelings about them.
-
But what rhymes with Interplay, though?
-
Supergay?
-
Um, anything ending in ths sound of a long A...
-
But it still needs to fit.
"Our flag will fly until next May"
No, just doesn't sound right, you see.:D

Stryke 9 is a raging gay?
-
Very well, I'll be creative for you:
Strong in our hate of Interplay
Long may our flag in glory sway
Shining in JPEG for all men to see.
-
Fancy writing the next verse?:D
I'll put that into the chorus.:yes:
-
no you can leave Microsoft in the song, just because we use their OS doesn't mean we like it
