KSP Song Parodies

[LN400]

(Thin Lizzy - Bad Reputation)

 

You've got a bad calculation

That's the word out on the town

It gives a certain fascination

But it can only bring you down

 

You better turn yourself around

Turn yourself around

You're landing upside down

Turn yourself around

 

You've had parts break well that's tough luck

You play too hard too much rough stuff

Staged too slow, engine's cold

That bad calculation made the struts fold

 

Turn yourself around

Turn yourself around

Don't land upside down

Turn yourself around

Imagine Kerbals - Space ("Believer")

♪First things first♪
♫you have to build your rocket in the Vab♫
♫Check your chutes, check your staging♫
♫then you take it to the pad, (Loadii-ing)♫
♪You place it on the pad (physix easii-ing!)♫

♫Second things second♫
♪now it's time to launch Jeb up into the sky♫
♪Commencing countdown, check ignition♪
♫And now you kiss his S goodbye, (woohoo-ooh)♫
♫You kiss his S goodbye, (woohoo-ooh)♫    

♫There was rumbling, like a train♫
♫There was smoke, and there was flame♫
♫As you rise up from the plain♫
♫Going higher and higher and faster and faster♫
♫On a column of flame♫
♫The Mün is the aim♫
♫Jeb gets the fame♫
♫for making it, to, ♫
SPACE!
♫The world is round, Kerbin is round, I believe it, believe it♫
♪Spaaace, Space! If you're in space, when you're in space you can believe it, believe it♫
♫Spaaace, Launch Bill, Bob and Valentina into Spaaace♫
♫My life, my love, my drive, it came from...♫
SPACE!
♫You made me a, you made me a believer, believer♫

♫Third things third♫
♫Now it's time to leave your capsule if you dare♫
♫Check your suit, check your helmet, and make sure that you have air (woohoo-ooh)♫
♫But kerbals don't need air (woohoo-ooh)♫

♫You were floating, way up there♫
♫There was blackness everywhere♫
♫Minmus was up there♫
♫The view, I wish I could share♫
♫Floating and grinning and spinning and floating♫
♫Trying to find your way back to the capsule♫
♫So you're not lost, not lost in...♫
SPACE!
♫The world is round, Kerbin is round, I believe it, believe it♫
♪Spaaace, Space! If you're in space, when you're in space you can believe it, believe it♫
♫Spaaace, Launch Bill, Bob and Valentina into Spaaace♫
♫My life, my love, my drive, it came from...♫
SPACE!
♫You made me a, you made me a believer, believer♫

♫Last things last,♫
♫It's time to get Jeb back onto the ground♫
♫Through the fires, through the flames♫

And i'm out of time to finish this, getting lost for words... Maybe another day...

Thanks. Believe me, I want to. Need to record it first( I think just subtitling it would be lame), then I need a proper video editor to make it like my vision, then record video clips... etc

aaaaa...

I hate pop, but I've heard the tune so many times from one of my best friends it's pretty hard not to like this

MAKE THIS INTO A MUSIC VIDEO

[Adstri]

I'm not sure if this is exactly heard of.

But now there are popping up here.

Kraken have mercy.

[Fraston]

someone made an "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" parody.

[Mr. Peabody]

Doesn't mention KSP, but I think this song is appropriate.

*performs another arcane necromancy ritual* (hopefully it lives a little longer this time...)

I did this incomplete kerbalization over two years ago now. It just won't leave my head, so I decided it's time to finish it. Now I'm going to try and submit it to Weird Al Yankovic to see if he will make it. I just don't have the time or equipment to do it justice (but I think I have the ability if I had the first two). Plus he has the star power to cut through any licensing BS. I think anything that encourages interest in the STEM fields is worth a shot.

E: Just went to weirdal.com and read the FAQs...

Can I send my song ideas to Al?

Sorry, for legal and personal reasons, Al does not accept song ideas from fans (he’s got plenty warped ideas on his own!)

Ah well. But I need to find a way to make this into a proper parody video. If anyone wants to do it, have at it (as long as I get credit
