The Lyrics

Another one of the Epic 40 is... DEVOURED BY ANTS!!!
(Ant General)
“What we’ve got here is a couple on a double date.
Humans are the enemy!
So you must be careful, but don’t be weak
Our home, these people crushed it!
Storm their blanket!
Quick! Get out there, but don’t be too brutal men!”

We need the food they’re biting
And we’re prepared for fighting
Dropped the cigars they’re lighting
We’ve got burnt, and now this means war

We’ll drop in for a greeting
On the chips that you’re eating
Soon you will be retreating!
It didn’t work you stomped and swore

Who eats outside?!
Our home you squished, don’t run and hide
The Picnic war reigns on to gain our pride
We’ll remove you clods, and your food we’ll bite
Our Anthill’s gone, and we have cried
Made with our hands, a waste of time
Because it was squashed by your big behind
Us ants will guide our flies to your Picnic War!!!

(Guitar solo)

Did you drink that Pepsi can?
That crushed our Police Man
Who lead our cavalry of spiders!

Jack stole a few lima beans
And crawled on blue jeans
With your thumb you flicked him into a tree!

And the ants that pulled your lunchmeat ham
They all drowned in Ice Tea, cause of where they crawled
And learned they can’t trust humans
With a cup in their hands

But still we’ll keep fighting
In this war of Ants!!!

And

We shall win this Picnic War!
Phoned the Pentagon and made it secure!
Our insect army maybe smaller
Than that human one of yours
(Won’t Perish!)
We shall win this Picnic War!!!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!!!

We’ve got our Air Force stinging
Hornets our side is bringing
And we’ve got deer ticks clinging
Onto your butt with no remorse

Our soldiers stole your Cheetos
While you’re bit by the mosquitoes
You’ll need a guy like Neo
To fight us off, cause we’re hardcore!

Go eat inside!
Us bugs are strong when we’re combined!
The picnic wars rage on, but with different guys
Insects you’ve forgot at our great Campsite
Your KFC we’ve been denied!
And your soda cans leave us all supplied
You stuff your mouths just like a swine
Like Yogi Bear we will fight all these Picnic Wars!!!

“We practice destructive ant infestation on campers
And unwilling tourists
So we can thus get food to consume
And then that food we consume
As more campers take their chances
We get fatter”

We shall win this Picnic War!
It feeds us ants while your stomachs all roar
We’ll take your turkey club, and burgers
From your local grocery store
(It’s delish!)
We shall win this Picnic War!

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum!

We ants win each Picnic War!
We ants win each Picnic War!
Chicks say, “Disgusting!” as ant soldiers
Run across their kitchen forks
(It tastes fresh!)
We shall win this Picnic War!!!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

We’ll eat the riches of war

Oooooooooooo
We’ll eat the riches of war!
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum yum!

“What are Picnics without food anyway?”

"Because it was squashed by your big behind": sweet. Great job, Matt, especially with the spoken parts and keeping the rhyme scheme perfect in the bridges (the "My hands are tied" parts).

Sir Matthias, you can't have true picnic without the cupcakes?

Wonder what's with the votes and no comments. . . anyway you are getting better at the grammar--it showed here. The OS puts me to sleep (or in horror if you watch any of the videos made to it, rather brutal) but you've put a nice twist to it. Little Cup Cakes, in a picnic like this, something tells me you would not want to be in a picnic like this, you'd probably be swarmed by ants, we'd have to put you in a zip lock to protect you. Ant, it'll make you think twice before sitting down without looking in a "Bugs Life" kinda way.

You'd put me in a Zip lock, Sir? Now that sounds kinky, I like it .. . .

(Ages2) This reminds me of a Looney Tunes cartoon I've seen, it involved a colony of ants waging war on Elmer Fudd and his firecrackers. They blew him up good :D. Great job with such a crazy OS, Matthias. 555 for you!

AGES...this is just hilarious to me, Matty...I loved it!

Good premise, good idea, some laughs, some good imagery. Problem: your syllables don't match the accents in the melody of the song. Watch that! 4-5-4.

Alright, well, to continue my comment above. I liked the imagery, the only thing for me is Hornets, Mosquitoes, Deer Ticks etc generally don't get along well with ants, and they were a bit distracting as cameos, but overall a very lighthearted twist on a grim original song (I have to admit my parody of this particular Epic 40 is not as fun--so good job making it fun)
Invisible Boy - April 08, 2009 - Report this comment
I liked the title sub and the original premise of the ants vs the humans at a picnic. As bobpie said, we've seen this before in cartoons and the images are funny.
I really liked when you brought the other insects in to lend additional ground and air support to your "ant army". I think it's good when new element(s) are introduced in the second half to surprise the reader.

Ages--Nice job on a tough OS. There were a few pacing glitches, but didn't take too much away from it. Well done!
Glen S - April 08, 2009 - Report this comment
I thought of the 'toy army' from Toy Story while reading this. Creative idea, I enjoyed it.

(Artistry) Ants have hands? :-) Lots of clever funny lines in this one.

A giANT parody, Very good indeed!

(Artistry) My opinion hasn't changed in the three times I've read this buddy---lucky for you it's still a good write on a boring OS, so it's still an improvement. GNR is a hit and miss band for me, they are either awesome (Ant, Rex, and Agri's song choices) or "what on Earth were they thinking" (TCOP, My, and your song choices) 5s
Red Ant - July 01, 2009 - Report this comment
Still like this one - it started out a bit slow, but builds, and "Our insect army maybe smaller Than that human one of yours" as well the the Cheetos verse were the best gets for me.
