Every once in a while, I'm going to give away 500 WGDs to the person who wins my contest. The contest will be different each time. And I can only do it when I have 500 WGDs, obviously.

This Week's Contest

Write new Donaldson-inspired lyrics to a well-known song. Like this or this or this. At least 75 words. Post it here.

Winner will be picked on Friday. The judging will be based on style, ingenuity, humor, and if I know the song. And it will be greatly influenced by the audience's response -- so audience, please let us know what you think!

He came from somewhere back in the real world
A leprous fool don't believe
Trying hard to unbelieve
What had yet to be believed in
For once in his life he musters some wood
for his young teenage friend
never coming near what he was told to say
only to realize
that he still unbelieves

He had leprosy in his life
Now he's been healed by hurtloam
as it rises to new life
Atrium will surely know
He's watching Lena go

But what a fool unbelieves, he sees
No wise Lord has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing all keeps sending him....

In the Land towards Revelstone
Where he can unbelieve there's a Foul in his life
Someday, somewhere he will return

He had leprosy in his life
He never even thought twice
As he rises to his white gold
Anybody else should surely know
He's watching Drool go

What lepers unbelieve he sees
No wise Lord has the power to reason away
What Foul should be
Is always better than nothing
There's white gold after all
But what lepers unbelieve, he sees...


Now gimme them damn white gold dollars!

It would also be helpful if we knew what the well known song that the new lyrics should be sung to Jenn!

Sung to the Beatles tune "I'm a loser"
[spoilers because of FR references]
***********************************

Spoiler
I'm a leper
I'm a leper
And I lost two fingers can't you see?

Of all the loves that I've had and videotaped
Lena is the one love I should never have raped
She was a girl in the Land, my friend
I didn't know that she'd go crazy in the end

I'm a leper
And I lost two fingers can't you see?
I'm a leper
And Berek just happens to look like me

I know I swear and I act like a bastard
But do you know how long it takes for white gold to be mastered?
Foul kills me and I become the Arch of Time
At least now Kevin's Watch is no longer a climb

I'm a leper
And I lost two fingers can't you see?
I'm a leper
And Berek just happens to look like me

What has Linden done bringing me back from the dead?
I'd rather be playing chess with Mhoram's ghost instead
Redemption between father and son is the main theme
Don't worry about it too much in the end it's a dream

I'm a leper
And I lost two fingers can't you see?
I'm a leper
And Berek just happens to look like me

Do I get extra points for actually having video taped Lord Foul singing "Arch of Time"? Otherwise I gotta come up with another one... :P

Thank you!

Unfortunately, like dlbpharmd, I'm not familiar with your song.
Hopefully Wayfriend isn't either :P

I plan on making an entry later. When that "later" might be is anybody's guess. Is there a deadline on this? Yikes, tomorrow, huh?

Linden's Song


You are my leper
My only leper
You make me horny
Here in the land
You'll never know Tom
How much I love you
Please don't give your white gold away....

High Lord Tolkien.

His lyrics not only were creative, but actually also made sense. (Except for the thing with the videotape - huh?)
