Just Anthy-mun and I being silly.

We thought of a Milliways theme song! Well, an adaptation, really.

This is the bar that never closes
it goes on and on my friend
some people started drinking there
not knowing what it was

Repeat endlessly.

Lyrics are provided by Anthy-mun.

So, is this suitable for a theme song? [insert deity of choice here] knows it's bloody true.

Eek, forgot the last bit:

"And they'll continue drinking there forever just because" . . .

[ookookook.livejournal.com]

Ah, right. Damn.

[miraielle.livejournal.com]

Except the rhythm and rhyme of the first two lines is off... It should be

This is the bar that doesn't close
It just goes on and on [something that rhymes with close]

Yes, I am obsessive. Why do you ask?

[agoodshinkickin.livejournal.com]

It just goes on and on Glod knows?

[miraielle.livejournal.com]

...Glod?

"We're on a mission from Glod"

[agoodshinkickin.livejournal.com]

A dwarf from Terry Pratchett's Discworld Series.

A miserely king asked a dyslexic god for the ability to turn anything he touched into gold. He ended up turning anything he touched into Glod.

These things happen.

Ah. Good ol' crazy Discworld.

[fairest1.livejournal.com]

How about:

This is the bar that will never close
It goes on for - only the Landlord knows
Some people started drinking there
Not knowing what it was
And they'll continue drinking there forever just because . . .

[miraielle.livejournal.com]

But the rhythm is off! "This is the bar that doesn't close" works better, and... there are 2 syllables too many in the second line.

*grumps*

[fairest1.livejournal.com]

Ah! Sorry, didn't see your reply before I entered my own submission; I only claim that my first line works better than 'closes'.

You are a scansion pedant and I love you for it. :)

[miraielle.livejournal.com]

I am. I throw fits over it.

This summer, on our family vacation, we changed lyrics of a song around to sing it for my uncle's birthday and the scansion was all off and I was upset and none of them CARED.

Wah.

Making your way in real life today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your studies, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn't you like to go to Milliways?

Sometimes you want to geek...

Where everybody knows your game,
and the bar's always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
Crack habits are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
You're insane. *dooby dooby doo doo*

* puts mic down... * I'll be here all week.

Superb filk. I vote this one for theme song.

And not a filk, but...

...this song seems to suit Milliways as well:

Toby Keith
I Love This Bar

We got winners, we got losers
Chain smokers and boozers
And we got yuppies, we got bikers
We got thirsty hitchhikers
And the girls next door dress up like movie stars

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

We got cowboys, we got truckers
Broken-hearted fools and suckers
And we got hustlers, we got fighters,
Early birds and all-nighters
And the veterans talk about their battle scars

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

[Chorus:]
I love this bar
It's my kind of place
Just walkin' through the front door
Puts a big smile on my face
It ain't too far, come as you are
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

I've seen short skirts, we got high-techs,
Blue-collar boys and rednecks
And we got lovers, lots of lookers--
And I've even seen dancing girls and hookers
And we like to drink our beer from a mason jar

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
Yes I do

I like my truck (I like my truck)
I like my girlfriend (I like my girlfriend)
I like to take her out to dinner
I like a movie now and then

But I love this bar
It's my kind of place
Just trollin' around the dance floor
Puts a big smile on my face
No cover charge, come as you are
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

We got divorcees and a big bouncer man
An old jukebox and a real bad band
We got waitresses and we got barflies
A dumb-ass and a wise-guy
If you get too drunk just sleep out in your car

Reason number 672 why

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
Play it on out boys
Beer-thirty's over
Got to take it on home

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
I just love it

That's perfect.

*sings*

And I said, "What about breakfast at Milliways?"
She said "I've done six impossible things
And as I recall, that's since I got up this morning"
And I said "It's not the end of the world..."

You are all geeks and I love you for it. ^__^
