INCOMING TRANSMISSION FROM COMMAND
(Verse 1)
(https://wiki.hard-light.net/images/1/1d/Head-CM2.gif) Where have all the wingmen gone and where are all the zods?
(https://wiki.hard-light.net/images/1/1f/Head-CM5.gif)Where's the streetwise flight-squadron to fight the rising odds?
(https://wiki.hard-light.net/images/2/2e/Head-CM1.gif)Isn't there a white knight in a Mk1 Hercules?
(https://wiki.hard-light.net/images/c/c3/Head-BSH.gif)Late at night I toss and I turn, and I dream of what we need!
(Chorus)
We need a pilot!
We're holding out for a pilot till the end of the night
They've gotta be strong, and they've gotta be fast
And they've gotta be fresh from the fight
We need a pilot!
We're holding out for a pilot who is ready for flight
They've gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And they're gotta be larger than life,
Larger than life.
(Verse 2)
(https://wiki.hard-light.net/images/2/2e/Head-CM1.gif)Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasies
(https://wiki.hard-light.net/images/c/c3/Head-BSH.gif)Somewhere just beyond subspace, there's something reaching back for me
(https://wiki.hard-light.net/images/1/1f/Head-CM5.gif)Escorting the Actium and reinforcing the 3rd fleet
(https://wiki.hard-light.net/images/1/1d/Head-CM2.gif)It's gonna take an Alpha-1 to sweep me off my feet!!
(Chorus)
We need a pilot!
We're holding out for a pilot till the end of the night
They've gotta be strong, and they've gotta be fast
And they've gotta be fresh from the fight
We need a pilot,
We're holding out for a pilot who is ready for flight
They've gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And they're gotta be larger than life,
Ah!
Ah!
We need a pilot,
We're holding out for a pilot till the end of the night...
(Bridge)
(https://wiki.hard-light.net/images/d/d5/Head-TP7.gif)Up in the darkest reaches of the nebula
(https://wiki.hard-light.net/images/5/53/Head-TP3.gif)Out where the lightning causes EMPs
(https://wiki.hard-light.net/images/1/1d/Head-CM2.gif)I could swear there is someone somewhere avoiding beams
(https://wiki.hard-light.net/images/f/f4/Head-VP2.gif)Through the wind and the chill and the Cain
(https://wiki.hard-light.net/images/3/31/Head-CM4.gif)And Kayser and Banshee
(https://wiki.hard-light.net/images/d/d5/Head-TP7.gif)I can feel their approach and- OH GOD THEIR FOLLOWING ME!
Ah!
AHHHHHHHH!
(Explosion)
(Chorus)
We need a pilot!
We're holding out for a pilot till the end of the night
They've gotta be strong, and they've gotta be fast
And they've gotta be fresh from the fight
We need a pilot,
We're holding out for a pilot who is ready for flight
They've gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And they're gotta be larger than life, life, life, life
We need a pilot!
We're holding out for a pilot till the end of the night!
They've gotta be strong, and they've gotta be fast
And they've gotta be fresh from the fight
We need a pilot,
We're holding out for a pilot who is ready for flight!
They've gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And they're gotta be larger than life!

This took more effort to make then I'd like to admit. .
instrumental version of actual song:
Enjoy?

That's really good. I was reading it in a hip hop tune for the first two lines til i spotted "holding out" then I twigged what inspired you and applied the appropriate tune to imagery of Johnny 5 with a rapidly draining battery.

As someone who recently seems to have come down with a case of what is apparently infecting you, I sympathise.
nah, seriously I chuckled. :)
-
haha, thanks! I actuality had this sitting in my documents folder for the better part of a month.
Then- (after downing a full cappuccino) I *Suddenly* wanted to finish and post it.

That was fun - I picked up on the song reference pretty quickly.
...That's mainly because of this amazing squadron motivational video from back in the day:
:D

I only know thsi song becuase it plays in Saint's Row 3 :nervous:

I like it so much that want to hear it rewrited into the tune, or retuned! Anyone with voice and sense of rythm?:D
