[ducks brick] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Lum" parody lyrics by Ryan Mathews (sung to the tune of "Lump" by The Presidents of the United States of America) Lum came to Earth in a UFO, Beamed right down into Tomobiki-cho, Lum's old man was invading the planet, So they had a little race, and Ataru ran it! She's Lum, she's Lum, The girl can fly! She's Lum, she's Lum, she's Lum, Makes grown men cry! Lum seemed im-poss-i-ble to stop! Ataru whipped out a suction cup, ripped off her top! He tagged her horns and saved his life, only problem is, now Lum thinks she's his wife! She's Lum, she's Lum, She's really cute! She's Lum, she's Lum, she's Lum, Wears a bathing suit! Luuuuuuum, Lum! La, la, la-la, la Luuuuuuum, Lum! Dar-ling no ba-ka! Luuuuuuum, Lum! La, la, la-la, la Luuuuuuum, Lum! Lum's real-ly got A-ta-ru licked! Won't let him hang around with any other chicks! When she gets mad, he gets a shock, Fries his ass and screams "Darling no baka!" She's Lum, she's Lum, She's got green hair! She's Lum, she's Lum, she's Lum, It isn't fair! Is Miss Lum out of her head? I think so! Is Ataru better off dead? I think so! Is Miss Lum out of her head? I think so! Can't get Lum out of my head! Don't think so! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Anime Musicians Against Flamewars" [Scene: Kasey Kasem sits on a stool in front of the camera.] Kasem: Good evening, I'm Kasey Kasem, and tonight, we're going to take a look at a special group of people, anime celebrities who have united for a cause. It all started when veteran Internet hacker Nene Romanova took a look at the popular anime chat group, rec.arts.anime.misc, and was appalled by what she found. [Cut to interview with Nene] Nene: It was awful! Everyone on the group was screaming and fighting and throwing tantrums! Well, like, I just had to do something. These are our people, you know! [Back to Kasey] Kasem: Nene contacted her friend, Priss Arigari of the popular Mega-Tokyo rock band Priss and the Replicants, and together they used Priss's vast network of music contacts to assemble an all-star music ensemble, united behind the cause of peace on the Internet. Let's listen to their stories in their own words. [Cut to various interviews] Priss: Well, yeah, they're a bunch of pathetic fanboys, but they're *our* pathetic fanboys. Besides, I could use some practice for the new BUBBLEGUM CRISIS TV series. Wendy Ryder: I felt so guilty when I learned that my own English voice actress was the inspiration for some of these flamewars! I just had to pitch in! Shampoo: Shampoo will show world that Shampoo sing best! Especially lots better than Akane! Akane suck big time! And Shampoo love Ranma! Love Ranma lots! Hey! Give back microphone! [WHACK! THUD!] Minmei: Times have been kinda dry since the 80's. I just wanted to let people know I still exist, and that I don't suck as bad as I sounded in ROBOTECH. Oh, and peace is a good cause, too. This is about peace, right? Key: When you're trying to make 30,000 friends, the last thing you want them to do is fight amongst themselves. [Cut back to Kasey] Kasem: Well, there you have it. The name of the band is Anime Musicians Against Flamewars. Let's listen to their song... [Cut to studio, where over twenty-five anime characters are assembled in front of several microphones.] [Sung, more or less, to the tune of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" by Band- Aid. Bear with me, it's been awhile since I've heard the song. :-)] Priss: It's flaming time, Way off in cyberspace. Minmei: Tem-pers flare up, It's such a big disgrace! Key: There's a war afoot on Usenet, And it's a war of bitter words! Wendy Ryder: Angry posts and angry flames, Spit out by angry nerds! Eve and Sharon Apple: They're setting fire to our home, These bitter, angry fen! Basari Neki: Well, tonight, let's take a breath and count to ten! Idol Defense Force Hummingbirds: And we don't need flames on r.a.a at anytime! Vision: We all can live together if we try! Amy Lin: Don't flame, because it's wrong! Yellow Dancer: That's why we sing this song! EVERYONE: Why can't all the fans just get a-long?! DoCo: Here's to them! Ishtar: Writing posts and 'fic and GRIT! The Pretty Four: Nuts to them! Mylene: Writing spam and flames and shit! EVERYONE: Why can't all the fans just get a-long?! [Madoka solos on saxophone, followed by Kagato on organ, and finished off with an electric guitar riff from To-Y] EVERYONE: Douse... the... fla-ames! Let them know we're all just fans and Douse... the... fla-ames! Let them know we're all just fans and [Repeat ad nauseum] [Music fades] Director: Cut! That's a wrap! Shampoo: It over? Good! Shampoo no like sing with Akane! Sharon Apple: I am not sharing a mainframe with Eve one microsecond longer! Do you know she never collects her garbage? Vision: So, Priss, are you getting killed in your new series? I was supposed to replace you, you know. Minmei: I have a new song! It's called "My Husband's Still a Pilot"! Wanna hear it? [Cut back to Kasem, while sounds of fighting steadily increase in the background.] Kasem: So there you have it. Over two dozen celebrities setting their egos aside and uniting in the cause of peace. Be with us next time when we take a look at the next good cause project, "Anime Musicians Against Tentacle Ra--" OW!! [THWOCK! A shoe collides with Kasem's head, knocking him off his stool. Scores of fighting anime characters swarm into the picture, trampling him to death as we fade to black.] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The Ukyou Groove" (sung to the tune of "Where It's At" by Beck) There's a destination a little up the road, Where the Saotomes and the Tendos go, A place that's run by Miss Ukyou, The music wails and the batter flows! Passin' out sake and okonamiyaki, Two hot griddles and a spatula, Leave a tip and just lick your lips, a-just lick your lips! WHERE IT'S AT! She got two hot griddles and a spatula! WHERE IT'S AT! She got two hot griddles and a spatula! WHERE IT'S AT! She got two hot griddles and a spatula! WHERE IT'S AT! Two hot griddles and a spatula! It's a hot little spot at the side of the road, Where's the music's hot and the drinks are cold, Members only, we emphasize it, Don't break the rules or Ukyou fries ya! Stay out late, Feel the groove, Ukyou, With her martial-arts moves! Get all artistic with the sauce, Just remember one thing -- UKYOU'S THE BOSS! WHERE IT'S AT! She got two hot griddles and a spatula! WHERE IT'S AT! She got two hot griddles and a spatula!
