He suggested it a couple of posts above, so I got out my lyrics pad and went to work.

 

"Last Slide to Earth Prime"
<sung to the tune of "Last Train to Clarksville">
<Lyric by AtomicDaveyJones

Take the last slide to Earth Prime
And I’ll meet you at the vortex
Be there by the countdown
And I’ll make sure there is no Lexx

Don’t be slow, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!

‘Cause we’re leaving in the morning
And we must be off again.
We’ll have one more night to wonder
If the Kromaggs are in our brain.

Now we must go, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
And we don’t know if we’re ever getting home.

Take the last slide to Earth Prime
We’ll be waiting at the vortex
We’ll have no more time for interferring
And saving those of the opposite sex.

Oh . . . oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!

Take the last slide to Earth Prime
Now I must activate the timer
I can’t hear you with this noisy swirlinf portal, sounding like a busy diner.

I’m feeling low, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
And I don’t know if I’m ever getting home.

Take the last slide to Earth Prime...
Take the last slide to Earth Prime...
Take the last slide to Earth Prime....<fade out>

Now^I must activate the timer
I can't hear, this portal's noisy,
sounds just like a busy diner,

And I’m low, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
And I don’t know if I’m ever getting home - oh.

You call that an IMPROVEMENT?!

Matt_2

Do you have the music there, Matt_2?

I do, like I said. There was need to fit the new words to the existing rhythm and notes. A couple places you can stretch a note to cover two syllables, but not always. I did a lot more than the one line you refer to. Your effort is to make it LOOK like I did a lousy job when you apparently didn't even consider all the ins and outs.

I also replaced a missing verse. Left that part out too, didn't you?

One other thing- You really should treat other people with more respect. This board isn't here so you can use other people like emotional prostitutes so you can vent your spleen. Why do you treat people the way you do?

Hey - Matt_2? Send me an e-mail.

In it give me your e-mail address. I'd like to talk with you, briefly.

What's wrong Matt_2? Still waiting...

...aren't you going to contact me? I'm not looking to set you up or verbally slap you around.
