The GHZ Forum

Just before I went to bed last night, I had a really bizarre idea. Why not try writing lyrics for the music from various classic Sonic zones? At the time, I managed to write a complete set of lyrics for Casino Night Zone:

Wel-come to,
Ca-si-no Night Zone,
We really do hope,
That you enjoy your stay,
With so few bad-niks,
To get in your way,
You can wan-der through and,
Really take your time.

There's lots to do,
In Casino Night Zone,
Those slot machines,
Can give you lots of rings,
We're being gen'rous,
But, there's a snag,
The boss is a monster,
So you're gonna need all,
The rings that you can possibly get.

I also managed to get some lyrics for Emerald Hill, but I forgot them while I was writing down the Casino Night lyrics. I think they went a bit like this:

Theme from,
Em-erald Hill,

This is the theme from,
Em'rald Hill Zone,
With its nifty opening chords,
This the theme from,
Em'rald Hill Zone,
It'll never make you bored,

It's also got two diff'rent instruments,
Performing on the mel'dy line,
- Oh yes it has!
There's some nice interplay going on,
Which I think is rather fine,
- Oh yeah!

It's the theme from the Em'rald Hill Zone,
Sing it loud and sing it clear!
It's the theme from the Em'rald Hill Zone,
Shout and cheer!

Anyway, anyone else up to the challenge of writing lyrics to their favourite zone tunes?

I when I was younger and more foolish I actually made up lyrics to go along with the Spring Yard Zone music. It was a pretty bad scene.

Heck, I'm 19, and I haven't grown out of that sort of thing.

With the Sonic 1 special stages, I used to sing: "spaaaaangly spaaaaangly spaaaaaangly jewel / it's a spaaaangly spaaaaangly spaaaaangly jewel / in the middle you will find a / in the middle you will find a / spaaaangly spaaaangly spaaaangly jewel".

That was it though. And I certainly didn't make forum posts about it.

Y'know the load scenes in Tomba? Where they had the dancing pig with two frames of animation? I used to sing: "Oink, oink, piggy-pig, oink, oink, piggy-pig" over and over and over. Now everytime I see a pig or any visual reference to swinedom, I think of the Tomba load screen and oink, oink, piggy-pig. I may have unintentionally scarred myself.

You guys need help.

I used to do a stupid thing in certain parts of the Final Egg and Carnival Night. There was this bit in CN's music that reminded me of the old Western Union jingle:

Everbody needs some money sometimes,
Call Sonic 3's Western Union!

For Final Egg's opening part:
Robotnik, Robotnik, Robotnik dance
In Robotnik, Robotnik, Robotnik's pants!

...you people are weird. I just hummed along. Off-key, mind, but I didn't make up lyrics. Oy.

OK, so you know how it plays "Live and Learn" when you fight the biolizard?

I don't remember why, but I started writing lyrics to go along with the main guitar riff. (The one the song opens with.) They went like this:

You can kill the lizard,
You can kill the lizard,
You can kill the lizard,
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!

*slumps to desk in utter realisation*

You and those around you. Thanks, I owe yah!!!

But no, I don't think I ever made up words, unless my brother was playing and I read my book/magazine aloud to the music to annoy him. Or when he was playing those Sonic 3d Flicky's Island special stages, I'd chant "Focus on the Back-GROUND! Focus on the Back-GROUND!"

I remember I used to sing the phrase "Star Light Zone" in my head at the first three notes to the Star Light Zone music.

Also, I used to make up phrases for the acronyms that are floating around in the Spring Yard Zone, because I didn't know what they meant. To me, CPU was "Cat Poke U".

Aqua Lake Zone in Sonic 2 for Game Gear is "Aqua aqua aq-aq-aqua, aqua aqua lake! Aqua aqua aq-aq-aqua, aqua aua lake".

I made up something for Donkey Kong one time. It was in the begining when Donkey Kong takes Peach and climbs up the tower. Forgot it though.

Weirdest one yet, Metropolis Zone:
<i>"Ma-donna, Madonna-ah! Ma-donna, Madonna-aah!"</i>
(My brother was like 7 when he made that up so...)

I've also got lyrics for Casino Night and S3&K Special World, so if I can remember all of them I'll post them later.
Of course, they weren't made <i>intentionally</i>.

I believe I was 9 or younger when I made up rather crappy lyrics to Sky Chase Zone...don't remember what I sang, but it's probably something corny. Also sang to the tunes of the main Mario theme song.

<I>SWING YOUR ARMS
FROM SIDE TO SIDE
COME ON IT'S TIME TO GO <B>DO THE MARIO</B>
TAKE ONE STEP
AND THEN AGAIN
LET'S DO THE MARIO <B>ALL TOGETHER NOW</B>!!</I>

I think it's sad that I still know all the lyrics to that song.

Sad? I own the DVDs to that show, although it's only like a few epsiodes which sucks. I don't care what anyone said, Mama Luigi was a classic.

My lyrics to the first part of the Mario theme:

In the old days of Mario
There was no Luigi or Wario
It was just him and Donkey Kong
A great big monkey who smoked a great big bong...

A great big monkey who smoked a great big bong...

I must've missed that stage...

"So-NIC the Hedgehog! Boo-boo bee ba boop boop boop!"

That's as far as I got.

I think the topic creator is retarded.
But I did sing along to SA2.

It was gone 1am. Personally I'm rather fond of the Casino Night one, although I admit that the Emerald Hill one requires polishing.

That's as far as I got.

What I got was:
♪<i>"SO-nic the Hedgehog, Sonic the-uh Hedgehog.."</i>♪

Later I got it sophistimacated and then it went:
♪<i>"SO-nic the Hedgehog, Knuckles the E-chidna.."</i>♪

I used to sing that I "need the loo!" to Chemical Plant.

How about we stick to the game tunes that are supposed to have lyrics?
