with Dave, Lono, and Rothbart

With all of the Halo 3 Hype that's ramping up, we knew we couldn't let this record-breaking franchise get away unscathed. Here's "The Halo 3 Hype Hoedown", delivering 3 minutes of foot stompin', spoon clackin' funny for fanboys and skeptics alike.

If you feel like rousin' up yer kin to throw down some sangin', try our singalong version! (coming Monday) You might even win a might-perty-prize.

Haha! Nice guys, that was great. Now I have both it and bad game stuck in my head... You bastards!

I don't know if I am up for doing my own last verse though. I get the feeling that the amount of mocking my "New Zealander that has been in Canada for 2 years" accent would bring would be too much of a blow.

I really liked how it pays tribute to Halo while at the same time making fun of the game's ridiculousness.

Okay, I just had to do this. Download the full song without the extra singalong verse **** -SOrry Ploogle, don't want that version out there just yet.---Doc

The editing started with "How You Killed Your Brand." I just don't like to listen to songs with even a little bit of swearing in them, so now the song plays "now you're getting kicked by the Wii." :P

Great job, guys!

Hey, your I-don't-like-swearing behaviour seems quite strange to me. I'd understand it (and agree with it) if the song played "now you're getting your ass kicked by the f*ckers from Nintendo", but it's just "ass"! "Ass"! "Ass"! We live in the 21st century! Every movie nowadays has to contain at least 30 uses of the word "****" and 15 of "bitch", and you can't stand one "ass"? Oh.

It's on joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com/2007/09/14/halo-3-hype-hoedown-satire-song/) now, their RSS feed as well. :D

Somehow the trail of comments derailed into a discussion about Gordon Freeman versus Morgan Freeman pretty quickly. Everyone seems a "Go!" for the Jack Thompson beating though.

Ploogle
09-14-2007, 05:06 PM
Actually, I don't like movies with a lot of swearing in them either.

I can't sing worth jack, but I wrote the ending.
Edit: Here's the song + lyrics: Song (http://h1.ripway.com/ploogle/HaloHoedown_plooglesing.mp3)

The French won't be so stuck up aujourd'hui.
When the third game with Master Chief's released.
All the geeks will get more coffee
All the sadists will be jolly
When Bungee finally gives us Halo 3.

All the troops will come back from overseas
And the whole world will smell of potpourii
Folks will plant a tree on Earth Day
All the games won't be so cliche
When Bungee finally gives us Halo 3.

No more waiting at the DMV
No more bad calls by a referee
No more time to do our schoolwork
All the fanboys will go berserk

Everything's gonna be all right
Once they finally finish the fight
When Bungee finally gives us Halo 3.

I recommend buying a couple Ludacris CDs and listening to them non-stop for a couple days and then you'll realize that cussing doesn't necessarily ruin good music. Especially with such "great" lyrics as:

"Who the **** you talkin' to? Not me. Couldn't be me. Naw, not me..."

or

Move b****, get out the way. Get out the way b****, get out the "way!"

Since when has Donkey (ass) been a swear word lol

"Now your getting your donkey kicked by the wii"

poor eeyore :(

Joking aside i do agree that in some songs swearing is used just to pad the song out.

anyways great song! i have been listening to it ever since! its ever so tempting to download "she'll be coming round the mountain"

I better not or else I will be bullied :(

another great job! made me laugh! (and have a love for the tune :S)

I guess Doc was just joking. I'm pretty sure about it. Besides, no-one has really entered the competition; writing the lyrics isn't enough, it's "singalong" not "writealong".

Yeah, but who cares about what G4 thinks, seriously? :P People will come to the site to see it even if G4 says it totally sucks and the videos are crap. At least I hope so.

Actually I would've laughed harder had I not attended PAX and experienced a new found appreciation for him. He delivered an EXCELLENT keynote and took us on a great trip down the memory lane of a gamer...

Haven't read his blog though, it could be crap for all I know. I'm SURE he put a ton more effort into his keynote speech than a daily/weekly blog entry.

Ok, so here is the first part of my own verse:

Oh Lono will find a bride to be

Oh Rothbart will dig himself a hole
And cover himself in tarter sauce
When Bungie finally gives us Halo 3

Ok here it is, sorry if its not perfect,

Oh Lono will find a bride to be
Doc will actually perform a surgery
Oh Rothbart will dig himself a hole
And cover himself in tarter sauce
When Bungie finally gives us Halo 3.

Sarcastic Gamer will no longer be
The internet will be free of sleaze
Captain finally gets a job
And Volkov runs away and hides
When Bungie finally gives us Halo 3

Lono will divorce again you see
Doc will hit a major artery
Rothbart will get smothered
And Captain will get fired
When Bunige finally gives us Halo 3

Volkov runs to china
Gets lead poison then dies
When Bungie finally gives us Halo 3

Hope you like and I hope I win a prize!

They better stand 5.56 and 7.62 rounds... fanboys are known for carrying assault rifles with them.

You might also consider a helmet... they got bats.

And... a crotch protection... I'm not gonna explain that one.

I have several unrecorded parodies... writing (with rhyming) is fairly easy... now if I could only convince someone to record one (or get drunk enough myself to do it) we'd be in business. For the record, I hate singing... or at least having attention drawn to my singing. :eek:

I just wanted to say I am a big fan Doc. Keep up the great work. I play all your songs to all my gaming friends, and my girlfriend loves you.

Anyway here are my lyrics:


When Halo 3 comes out this fall
You'll have to chose between that or watchin' football
But it'll be Halo that you beatin'
And the Patriots will stop cheatin'

When Bungie finally gives us Halo 3

If the servers crash like they did in the beta
That would really make me a Microsoft hate-a
That would suck like Kakuto Chojin
I'd say "What the ****?" to Major Nelson

When Bungie finally gives us Halo 3

Here are a few (http://www.gamercastnetwork.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4785) that I did back when Doc wrote Ring of Fire (as challenge by me). Follow the link for a better formatted version including the original songs' lyrics (if we had the [table] bbCode enabled in the forums here, I'd post them that way too... hint, hint...)

I've done others and have at least three I can think of right off hand that haven't been posted anywhere yet... maybe someone will sing them someday...


Next Generation (to the tune of The Who's My Generation)

People always put it d-down (don't think Wii's next generation)
Just because you flail around (don't think Wii's next generation)
Some games do look awful d-d-dumb (don't think Wii's next generation)
Wii-itis makes you go numb (don't think Wii's next generation)

This ain't next generation
This ain't next generation, baby

Why won't it just f-fade away (don't think Wii's next generation)
And let us play our HD g-g-games (don't think Wii's next generation)
I'm not trying to cause a big s-s-sensation (don't think Wii's next generation)
I'm just welcoming next g-g-g-generation (don't think Wii's next generation)

This ain't next generation
This ain't next generation, baby

Friend codes just won't f-fade away (don't think Wii's next generation)
Nintendo won't d-dig what we all s-s-say (don't think Wii's next generation)
I'm not trying to cause a b-big s-s-sensation (don't think Wii's next generation)
I'm just welcoming next g-g-generation (don't think Wii's next generation)

This ain't next generation
This ain't next generation, baby

Claims you can't put it d-down (don't think Wii's next generation)
After Wii Sports you'll s-s-start to frown (don't think Wii's next generation)
The coming months look awfully b-b-bleak (don't think Wii's next generation)
Yeah, I haven't played my Wii in weeks (don't think Wii's next generation)

This ain't next generation
This ain't next generation, baby

Flashing Red (to the tune of The Rolling Stone's Paint It Black)

I see a red ring and I want it turned back green
No red ring anymore I want it to be green
I hear the Xbox 360 revving its fans
I have to turn the volume high as I can stand

I see a flashing red ring and I want it green
With quiet fans, cool to the touch, know what I mean?
I see people post their horror stories up online
Like all of them I guess I get to go post mine

I even wrapped my 360 inside a towel
I turn it on to see the red ring flashing now
Maybe when I call they'll send me back a new Elite
If they'd do something for my trouble that would be sweet

But when they answer I don't hear the words I want
Their tone so condescending almost like a taunt
I figure if I get riled up they'll see my point
But as I plead my case they just disappoint

I see a red ring and I want it turned back green
No red ring anymore I want it to be green
I hear the Xbox 360 revving its fans
I have to turn the volume high as I can stand

Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
Don't wanna see it flashing, flashing red
Red as fire, red as blood
I wanna see the ring steady green all the time
Don't wanna see it flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing red
Yeah!


Red Ring of Death (to the tune of Prince's Little Red Corvette)

I guess I should'a known
By the way you sounded like a jet
That you wouldn't last

See you're the kinda product
That's goal is only profit
Build 'em and ship 'em fast

I guess I must be dumb
cause I had a bookshelf full of good games
Some new and some of them used

But it was Saturday night
My friends were waitin' online
And I said what have I got to lose?
And that's when I saw the...

Red Ring of Death
Watching it as it flashed
Red Ring of Death
I need a console that's gonna last

I guess I should'a closed my eyes
When I logged into your site
At least it was free

Cause I felt a little ill
When I saw the forum posts
Of the people that had called before me

Believe it or not
I started to worry
I wondered if I had enough class

But it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it all right
And I said "Now Habib, just listen to me!"
I've seen the..

Red Ring of Death
Watching it as it flashed
Red Ring of Death
I need a console that's gonna last

A console like yours (a console like yours)
Ought'a be stable (ought'a be stable)
Cause I'm on the verge of being obscene
(Cause I'm on the verge of being obscene)

Come on Habib (Come on Habib)
Listen to me (Listen to me)
I want you to replace your frickin' red ring machine
(I want you to replace your frickin' red ring machine)

Red Ring of Death
Watching it as it flashed
Red Ring of Death
I need a console that's gonna last

Red Ring of Death
Xbox you've got to cool down (got to cool down)
Red Ring of Death
Cause if you don't I'm gonna wrap your
little red ring right up in a towel

(Red Ring of Death)
Wrapped up in a towel (got to cool down)
You, you, you got to cool down (Red Ring of Death)
You're fans are moving fast (so fast)
I need a console that's gonna last

Microsoft you had a big lead you see
And the games...
I say the games are so good
You must be hatin' Wii

Xbox you're much too loud
Red Ring of Death
I need somethin', I need somethin' that's
That's gonna last
(Red Ring of Death)
You've got to cool down (You've got to cool down)
Red Ring of Death

Cause if you don't, cause if you don't,
the ground) | You're gonna run Microsoft right into the ground (right into the ground)
Right into the ground (right into the ground)
Right into the ground (right into the ground)

Thanks. Razz Doc about it, he claims he can't "do" Prince... but I never really heard back on the rest...


I couldn't help but notice there wasn't one ripping on Sony.


My personal favorite parody was a Sony-critical song... In my opinion it was (going to be) the best Sony-critical song (http://www.gamercastnetwork.com/forums/showthread.php?p=67370)... The jabs were objective, the melody was followed extremely closely (it flows very well), the lyrics had a LOT of thought behind them...

Unfortunately it didn't get finished before it became irrelevant... I had trouble finding instrumental music to record it and lost motivation to finish the few remaining lyrics I needed to be done with it (the lettered lines indicate rhyming that was needed to match the original... btw, that song clocks in at like 8 minutes or something crazy).

Keep in mind it was from March of this year... pre-Kutaragi being gone, pre-Home announcement, pre-Most of the cool things that've been done post-launch:

Please Don't Let the PS3 Die (to the tune of American Pie)

A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How Playstation used to make me smile.
I'd stay up late to have a chance
To play each level and advance
And, maybe, I'd be happy for a while.

But lately Sony's made me shiver,
Unsure PS3 will deliver
True next-generation gaming
Who should I be blaming?

I can't remember the first lie
Was it E3 footage, 2005?
The rootkits or those laptops fried?
What if their console died?

Oh why, why Kutaragi-san, why?
Did you design the PS3 and
then release it to die.
Where are the great games, that you expect us to buy
Sony please don't let the PS3 die.
Just like you've let the PSP die...

Oh Ken, did you write the business plan
Or were you just their idea man
Cause, Ken, I think they, need some more
Your system has impressive specs
But will you release some damn games for it next?
Sony, please, pick yourself up, off the floor.

Well I know your downfall, story's long
You've done so many things so wrong.
You've been the laughing stock of gaming news,
When all you had to do was tell us the truth!

You lost a lawsuit that cost you rumble
Your executives messages were such a jumble
Your lousy game selection has made us grumble
What if, Playstation died?

I started singin'
Why, why, David Karraker, why?
Did you say those stupid things,
And ban that Kotaku guy.
You're the head of Sony's PR and that's what you would try?
Sony, please don't let the PS3 die.
Just like you've let the PSP die.

Now for ten years you've been number one
And you've brought so many people fun
But you can't count on that for too long.
When the PS2 broke on the scene
Like the PS3 devs cursed the machine
and that's why we have this song.

And while last-gen was winding down
Microsoft sought to steal the crown
The first to do HD
It was the 360
And while Sony planned the PS3
Microsoft catered to you and me
And now we've even got the Wii
Don't let Playstation die.

We're all singing,
Why, why Mr. Harrison why
Are exclusives leaving PS3
Except from you guys?
Are first party games enough to ensure a new customer buys?
Oh Sony, please don't let the PS3 die
Just like you've let the PSP die

Can't developers get unified

You've had years to come up with your answer to Xbox Live
Sony please don't let the PS3 die,
Just like you've let the PSP die.

Maybe throw in a headset and a game on the side
Mass market won't pay $599
Don't fool yourself and say it'll be fine

PS3's we could find?
And at $1200 bucks each were you out of your mind?
Sony please don't let the PS3 die,
And you might think of replacing this guy.

And I'm singing,
Why, why, Sony corporate why?
Do you hire people that don't know
their ass from the sky?
The PS3 has promise but get rid of these guys.
Sony, please don't let the PS3 die.

From looking at Kengy's lyrics and his going to bed at 3:30pm ET, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that he's not an American, or even living in an English speaking country so I'm going to refrain from making fun of him.



As for the PS3 lyrics from Rothbart: what you had was actually really good. You probably should have thought it through a little more though when you picked to use American Pie.:p You could have just cut out a couple verses to shorten it up a bit and I guarantee you would have had a hit.

I must appologize, mine has one curse word, but it really fills it out

The gamers will cry and wee
When they finally get thier game to be
They'll find out all the glitches
So they can start the b*tchin
When Bungie finally gives us Halo 3

Oh sony will get a nintendo wii
And they whine that content isn't free
They see the double standard
And kill thier own commander
When Bungie finally gives us Halo 3

Oh the hype is finally over now you see
Cause without that new xbox live fee
The flood will probly stop it
While your stabbin through the prophet
When Bungie finally gives us Halo 3

The fanboys will finally stfu
And everyone will have it but you!
When Bungie finally gives us Halo 3

I forgot to mention that Chatterbox Video Game Radio (http://www.chatterboxgameshow.com/) use the Halo 3 Hype Howdown as the intro music in their 190th episode (http://ripple.radiotail.com/1007/Show190_09-18-2007.mp3) (I should also mention this is a "real" radio show in Phoenix, AZ.) Unfortunately, they talked over part of the song, but not loud enough to clearly understand, it just made both the song and talking blur together.

This is probably my favorite SG parody song. Not because it's friggin' hilarious, which it is. And not because it's so well made, which it is. I love it because this is the first thing from Sarcastic Gamer I ever saw. I watched it on youtube, then went to the SG channel and watched more. I decided to come to the site and saw it had a podcast. I downloaded every episode and laughed with every one. I became an instant fan and made an account, and I am so glad I am able to be a part of this growing community.
