2nd song.
Shadow for Spintunes Challenge 5:2
Pump You Up: Write a song that is motivational to workout to. Something that is meant to pump up the listener. Think music from just about any Rocky movie, Hulk Hogan's theme song "Real American" or "You're The Best" from The Karate Kid.
In collaboration with Brian Gray.
lyrics
VERSE 1:
Need to perfect my maniacal laugh
Master riding my armored giraffe
So I can come in and be the best
By brutally killing all the rest
Got to work on my laser's aim
To be in the villain's hall of fame
Try my hardest I know I'll win
That's how these things have always been
Act mean, act tough
Don't forget to be rough
Act hard, act gruff
Don't let them call your bluff
Oh
CHORUS:
This world is gonna be mine
I know I gotta do this, so I won't whine
Not just one lap, I gotta run nine
But my payment is my very own
shrine
VERSE 2:
Need to invent a personal shield
An all-repellent kind of forcefield
Who needs boring lady liberty
When you can have a statue of me
Got to work on my swordsmanship
Get a holster for my whip
I'm not some sort of Robin Hood
I'm not just misunderstood
Act smooth, act cool
Don't just be a tool
Act harsh, act cruel
Don't be a complete fool
Oh
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Helmet…Check
Laser…Check
Evil henchmen…Check
Schmancy plated armour…Check
Heat-seeking spider guns…Check
Nefarious electric guitar I can use to write my victory song…
Check
Blood-fueled jetpack…I'm still working on that
VERSE 3:
Lift some weights and touch my toes
Get some publicity by putting on shows
Ride my giraffe to get a cape
I really need to get in shape
Making my blueprints, writing my plans
Test driving my murdervans
Eat some pan-seared unicorn steak
Find a nice eel-infested lake
Act healthy, act fit,
Don't dig your own pit
Have smarts, have wit,
Don't ever admit
Oh
