Kerbal parody "do you want to go to the spaceport?" (Need help with lyrics)

Recommended Posts

I've been watching frozen with my 12 year old brother and I thought, I wonder if I can make a parody of one of the songs.

This is the link to the original.

I need help with the lyrics though. I've got to here.

Jeb? Do you wanna go to the spaceport, to get LV909's? We never see you anymore, come out hatch, it's like you've gone away! We used to be best pilots, and now we're not, and I really don't know why! Do you wanna go to the spaceport? It doesn't have to be with Kirrim.

Any ideas?

Bob Kerman: Jeb? [knocks on the door]

Do you wanna launch a rocket?

Come on, its a perfect day!

You never come out anymore

You've locked the door

Where have we gone astray?

We used to be co-pilots

But that's no more

I have to put up with Bill!

Do you wanna launch a rocket?

(don't even have to go to orbit)

Jeb: Go away Bob.

Bob: Oh, alright...

[knocks on the door]

Do you wanna launch a rocket?

Or fly a plane into the wall?

I think apology is overdue

All I see of you

Are pictures on the walls!

(I miss you Jeb.)

It gets a little lonely

In a one seat pod

And just counting down myself...

8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...

[knocks on the door]

Jebediah, I know you're in there

The chief is asking where you've gone

He says "Have courage," and I'm trying to

But it's hard without you

To egg me on

We used to have each other

It was you and me

What am I gonna do?

Do you wanna launch a rocket?

No more frozen parodies or I will seriously give someone an angry glance.

Let it stage, let it stage! Don't hold it on anymooore! Let it stage, let it staaage! The perfect rocket is gone! I don't care if we're going to explode... let the boosters rain on... the heat never bothered me anyway...

It's funny how some distance.. makes everything seem small... and the struts that once kept me can't get to me at alll...

It's time to see, what I can stage, to test the struts and break through! No up no down... the boosters are free!

Let it stage, let it stage! I am at one with the fire and sky! Let it stage, let it stage! You'll never see me die... Here I'll climb, and here I'll stage! Let the boosters rain on!

My boosters flurry up from the ground into the sky... my pod is going up... I'm never going down, the boosters are in the paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast!

Let it stage! Let it stage! And I'll rise across the horizion.. Let it stage! Let it stage! The perfect rocket is gone... here I rise, in the light of fireeeeee!

Let the boosters rain OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNN

The heat never bothered me anyway.

How about that! :P

The dust glows white on the Munar plains tonight

Not a Kerbal to be seen.

A kingdom on another planet.

And it looks like I'm the queen.

I can't hear anything except for static now.

Couldn't land at all, heaven knows I tried.

Came into low, came in too steep

The engine caught fire; thought I was asleep

The controls are dead but now I know

I'm in my own

Let it crash

Let it blow

Can't stay silent anymore.

Let it crash

Let it blow

Walk away into the storm

I don't care

What my people are going to say

Walk on forth

Chance of death never bothered me anyway.

It's funny how some distance, makes our home planet seem small.

Oh how it feels so alien, against the deep black wall.

My oxygen is running out

And my suit is compromised.

My life coming to a halt

But I'm too relieved to breathe

[...]

@Legendary Emu

You just got to LET IT GOOOOOO

That's pretty good, better than mine.

"Do you want to go to SpacePort?" fits the lyrics much better. I was personally thinking of doing an "In search of Science" parody on the Minecraft "In search of diamonds" video.

Here's the first verse. Just something I threw together. Should find some other word to rhyme with than anything, though. Also, the tone might not really suit the lyrics in some of the lines.

Anyway, I guess Jeb has been transferred to a new job where he's in charge of the space program instead, and this makes him undergo a huge personality change.

Will you let us go to Duna?

Come on, let's go explore!

We never land on anything

Not anything

Why are you such a bore?

You used to be a badass

But now you're lame

I'm tired of LKO!

Will you let us go to Duna?

Or we could just go to Minmus

(P*ss off, Bob!)

Okay, bye

Hit abort

Hit abort

Won't ride this thing anymore

Hit abort

Hit abort

That is what that button's for

I don't care

What our boss will say

I don't want to die

They're still gonna yell at us either way

And here's the second verse.

Will you let us go to Duna?

It's time to go for something cool

Let's send away some kind of probe at least

Someone just said they crashed our last one into Jool

(Awesome work, Mission Control!)

Our space program is boring

All these cancelled plans

I'm sick of these budget cuts!

(Nope-nope, nope-nope, nope-nope, nope-nope, nope-nope)

I've done stuff like this before, and it turned out pretty well. If I can turn a Skyrim rap into one about cleaning fluids, I can do this. Here's my attempt:

Kerbals?

<knocking>

Do you want to go to space yet?

Come on, let's make a plane!

We haven't landed anywhere,

We're halfway there,

Our hope might fade away!

Our crafts were all space-faring

But now they're not.

We need you so they can fly!

Do you want to go to space yet?

It doesn't have to be a rover.

Not a chance, you!

Oh, but why?

Wernher Von Kerman: These parts will help. See?

Refuel it,

Jebediah Kerman: Don't crash it,

Both: Don't let it 'splode.

<Knocking>

Do you want to go to space yet?

Or fly a plane round KSC?

You see that island there? We've stuff to do,

Our rockets only ever really seem to fall!

Decouple tanks! <explosion>

We're getting disappointed.

Almost out of fuel,

just watching our rockets go boom!

<Explosion x8>

Jebediah Kerman: The Mun, it's seeming farther!

Wernher Von Kerman: Adding more parts only adds to mass, slow down!

Jebediah Kerman: No, it's working!

...

Please. I just wanna land it.

Jebediah Kerman: T- 1 hour!

Wernher Von Kerman: Did you test it though?

Jebediah Kerman: It works fine, Wernher.

<Rocket launches, engine explodes and the craft spirals, crashing into the ground, killing Bob and Bill>

<Funeral for Bob and Bill Kerman>

<Knocking>

Kerbals?

Please, I know it's morbid...

KSC's asking "Why not him?"

They blame the fuel tanks

And I try not to,

'Cause that'd be blaming you,

Don't let them win.

We close after the summer,

A dismaying act,

Only a scrap of fuel!

Do you want to go to space yet?

So far, that's where the draft stands. I'll probably make tweaks to it on occasion when something better comes to mind, but it seems to be in a good enough state for me to push it out there. One question though, is this only going to remain in text or will it be adapted into video? It'd raise problems such as "who would voice?" etc., but it'd be a shame to just have a finished product sat here, rotting slowly in the depths of abandoned threads.
