Songs That I Write with Pleasure!

This section basically contains parodies of other songs that I changed for my own pleasure! You might say that they could be new theme songs if the shows I write about needed a new one.I started doing these in school 'cause I was trying to write a short story about the Mag 7. But I am not that talented, so I wrote these instead. Well, so far I only have songs for the "Magnificent Seven" and "The Pretender" written down. I am working on some others but as of now they are far from complete. (that's my procrastinating side rearing its ugly head) If you have any that you wrote that you would like to submit, be my guest! Don't worry, I'll give you credit! Honest! By the way, the tune to sing the song to is at the top of the song. At the end, there may be comments that refer to the song.
(to the tune "Home on the Range")
"Home on the Range: An Ode by Scout"
Oh give me a home,
Where the Mag 7 roam,
And the good and the bad have their fun,
Where cowboys ride on,
And drink till it's dawn,
And take off chasing the sun.

Home, home on the range
Where the Magnificent Seven roam,
They drink and they ride,
And they fight side by side,
To defend Four Corners, their home.

(to the tune of "the Brady Bunch")
"The Larabee Bunch"
Here's a story about a man named Chris,
People say he is the fastest gun,
In black, he is still in mourning,
Since the murder of his wife and son.

Here's a story about a man called Vin,
Who can track and shoot, he simply is the best,
But he got in a little mix-up,
Now he's wanted for arrest.

Here's a story about a man named Nathan,
An ex-slave, who now is saving lives,
With a heart as big as his smile,
He's also good with knives.

Here's a story about a man called Buck,
Who is a "lady's man" among men,
He is funny, a lover, and a fighter,
To J.D. he's a mother hen.

Here's a tale about a man named Josiah,
He's the oldest, but not considered weak,
A preacher, set on saving souls,
But has trouble turnin' the other cheek.

Here's a story of a con named Ezra,
A southerner who always has a rouse,
As a gambler and a smooth talker,
He'll simply never loose.

Here's a story about a kid named J.D.,
He is always tryin' to prove he is fast,
But with youth and eagerness a factor,
Some bet on how long he'll last.

Then one day when they all meet up together,
They knew it was fated up in heaven,
That this group must fight for good together,
That's the way they became the Mag 7!
The Mag 7!
The Mag 7!
That's the way they became the Magnificent Seven!

*The actual "Brady Bunch" song only has the two verses and the end but my version doesn't. I felt that they each deserved their own verse. (They're all big boys that can handle their very own verse, except for maybe J.D., kidding!) But if you don't approve of my revised edition with the 8 sections, you can just sing it with 3 sections. You could choose which 3 to sing, it's just that may not make as much sense as when their in a group. But you go ahead and cling to the old, I understand, be a rebel! Or would you be rebelling against me being a rebel, which then wouldn't make you a rebel or would it? Too much thinking! Brain shutting down! NOOOOOOOO! Oh well! Just sing it however: on key, off key, online, off line! (Sorry, bad joke!) I better stop now. I'm starting to ramble.
**One more thing, it's called "The Larabee Bunch" 'cause they were called "the Larabee gang" in "Inmate 78" and he is the "leader" of them and Mike (a.k.a. Pop Brady) was the "leader" of their household even though I have found that it's usually the Mom that keeps things running smoothly, but there really is no "mom" or for that matter a lady in the Mag 7, 'cause Mary isn't really one of the "7" since she doesn't go around toting a gun, shooting up the bad guys (no disrespect to Mary, she is very vital to the show, and I get envious of her every time she's with one of them!) but you know it's just.....wait a minute, Ezra could be the "mom"! He was in drag that one time and he......I think I better stop right there 'cause: I am babbling and more importantly, I don't think Ezra would be happy with me talking about that and I kinda like having all of my teeth.

(to the tune of Gilligan's Island)
"The Magnificent Seven"
Sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a group of men,
Who fight on the side of good,
They're the Mag 7.

Chris the unspoken leader man
Found Vin to be the one,
They bonded in a shoot out,
They wanted justice done.
What do you mean?
They wanted justice done.
What happened?
The scum started playing ruff,
Mary's on the ground,
Chris and Vin save Nathan's life,
Drinks all around!
Drinks all around!

They formed a little posse
of four minus eleven,
With Larabee and Wilmington,
The Gambler and the Kid,
The Preacher man,
The sharpshooter and the doctor,
Are the Magnificent Seven!

This is the tale of our gentlemen,
There gonna stay awhile.
There gonna turn the town around,
And do it with a smile.

Mary and the townsfolk,
Will do there very best,
To make their stay a friendly one,
And the boys 'll do the rest.

No scum,
No fights,
No lynching mob,
They keep the dirt streets clean.
They'll guard as peaceful as they can,
But they if must they will get mean.

So join us here each week my friend,
You'll surely be in heaven,
With the best law men of the West,
Here on Magnificent Seven!

*I know, there are a few things that don't add up (4 - 11=-7) but leave me alone! It's not like there's a plethora of words that rhyme with seven, the only other one I can think of is heaven and I already used it in another song, so if nothing pops in my head or there are no suggestions from the peanut gallery, I mean the viewing audience, then that line is staying.

(to the tune of the Flinstone's)
Travis,
Mary Travis,
She's from a small town in the West,
Struggling on her own,
But her newspaper's still the best.

The Judge
Went and hired a group of men,
At town,
They are called the Mag 7.

When you're
At Four Corners,
...
*Yes, I do know that there is more to the song but the voices in my head haven't told me what to write. So you know what that means.....class participation! That's right!This is a song that needs to be finished. It only needs about 3 more lines to finish it. I seem unable to think of how, so that just goes to show you what good getting a college eductation does for you. Just kidding, college classes are good. (Yeah, for sleep!) (Shut up Jojo! For those of you that don't know, Jojo is my last remaining braincell.) Got an idea? Share the wealth! It would be cruel to deny humanity the ending to this wonderful song, well it may not be the best song but the subject sure is marvelous! (Amen to that!) So what are you waiting for, e-mail me those suggestions! Not sure what my address is, well why didn't you just say so! It's scout_7@excite.com. You know the drill, this is an easy one to finish up, so won't someone please lend me a hand? Please? I'll be your best friend.

(to the tune of the "Brady Bunch")
"The Pretender"

Here's a story 'bout a man named Jarod,
Who can become anyone he wants to be.
Exploited all his life, by the Centre,
Now he searches for his past and family.

Here's a story about Miss Parker,
Her first kiss, who's now become prey,
With the help of Syd and her Brootsy,
She'll catch up to him someday.

But until that fateful day comes to passing,
Jarod's still the little guy's defender,
Using his genius to help the despairing,
That why they call him the Pretender.
The Pretender,
The Pretender,
That is why they call him the Pretender!

*Not much to say her except, well, it took me a little under thirty minutes to write this. The one thing that I'm not to sure about is the use of the word "despairing" in the last section. I'm actually rather proud of this one. **P.S.-- I know that I missed a few people in my little song ditty. Like, Angelo, Mr. Lyle and my fav pshyo, Kyle, for instance. Well, I have to say that I'm sorry but I couldn't fit them in. I'm fitting them into another song parody right as we speak. I'm trying...just for you, O.K.?

I also do not own the "Magnificent Seven" and "The Pretender". (Well, maybe I do, in my own little dream world where I am the Queen and everything is happy and....) Any way, I don't own any of them so don't sue me. I don't have "deep pockets", just ask my brother or sisters, I'm always bummin' meals off of them.
