Song Parodies -> Ragnarok
| Original Song Title: | "Jailhouse Rock" |
| Original Performer: | Elvis Presley |
| Parody Song Title: | "Ragnarok" |
| Parody Written by: | Yet Another Dutchman |
Okay, my first religious parody... I basically tried to put some verses of the ancient prophecy on rock 'n' roll. I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but it probably will. Please report any inconsistencies with the actual mythology. If I've made errors, I wanna hear it. Pacing may suck. Odin is the highest god. Loki is a trickster god and leads the giants(I've given him VERY little limelight). Vidar is Odin's son. Thor is god of thunder. (he's also Odin's son)
wanna have a tussle on a open field?
your forebears will be there if Odin likes their skills
Fenrir's jumpin' and soon he will break his chains
you should be there to battle in the end of days
let's brawl, everybody, let's brawl
every giant and every god
be fighting to the ragnarok
Heimdal gives the signal blowing on his horn
a boat of nails ships Loki and the giants on
the worldly tree called Yggdrasil will tremble fast
us gods and warriors are gonna kick some ass
let's box, everybody, let's box
everybody dropping dead like rocks
the hell, this is the ragnarok
Odin leads the warriors to fight for real
until the wolf Fenrir eats him for his meal
Freyr wields no weapons, he's the god of peace
so fire giant Surt can kill him easily
let's spar, everybody, let's spar
use spears, shields, axes, and swords
use weapons in the ragnarok, now rock!
(short instrumental)
the vengeful Vidar stabs ol' Fenrir in his heart
the wolf will need a surgeon or he won't get far
Thor will give the Midgardsnake a thunderclap
he too will snuff it by the snakes ol' poisoned yap
let's war, everybody, let's war
all the monsters can swallow you up
the challenge of the ragnarok
then we'll say to Vidar, "Man, for Asgard's sake,
Surt is spreading fire, messing up the place!"
Vidar says: "Don't spoil the fun, it lasts to six,
'cause afterwards eternal peace will have it fixed"
let's brawl, everybody, let's brawl
every giant and every god
be fighting to the ragnarok
fighting to the ragnarok
fighting to the ragnarok
fighting to the ragnarok...

Thunderation! OK, being Dutch, you might not know that word, but it means this is really, really good.
Man, you Ragna-rock! 555!
How about it, Chuck? Can a 50's category be created? It would help some of us a little... and me a lot.
Thank you, everyone! Mr critic, I believe Jailhouse Rock was on an Elvis comeback CD in 1968, but it probably was brought out in the 50s. It sounds 50s.
Hey where'd my comment go? Whoever deleted it had no business doing so; I did NOT say anything bad in it.
Mr. Critic, judging from the context in this situation, I am guessing that you simply commented on Jailhouse Rock being from the fifties instead of the sixties. My guess is that some joker removed your comment because in the 'report inappropriate comment' guidelines, it says that you can report a comment that deals with decade issues as 'inappropriate.' It's a lame joke, but I am surprised that your comment even got deleted in the first place.
Well I think that's totally unfair. Comments that deal with decaade issues should NOT be equated with spam or profanity. I believe that the correct information should be given whenever something is incorrect. I personally think that it makes things much easier when things are accurate. That's why I am sick of misdecaded parodies. To be honest, I'd rather see more toilet parodies than misdecaded ones.
As a Norse pagan who's written her fair share of religious parodies herself, I'd say this was pretty darn good...4-5-5!
Ingeborg, thank you... thank you very much. :-)
I could only find one minor pace problem, on "Until Fenrir"...the forced rhyme of Peace/easily was more unsettling, but this was a lot of fun to read. 554 from me.
