Title: Holding Out For An Escort
Post by: DefCynodont119 on March 19, 2019, 12:24:47 am
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!

(https://wiki.hard-light.net/images/1/1d/Head-CM2.gif)
We need a pilot!
We're holding out for a pilot till the end of the night. . .


Oohooohoooo. . .

Ooooooowoooowowoooowowowoooo. . .





This took more effort to make then I'd like to admit. .

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.

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:

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