h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I think that we Thingites should have an anthem to sing, so in order to get things moving on the song development front I propose that we cheat & rework an existing musical master piece.

My suggestion for the new Thingite anthem would be a reworking of the “Village Peoples” great hit “In the Navy” or as it should henceforth be known “In the Thingites”.

Now has anybody/thing got ideas for reworking the rest of the lyrics

thats a great idea but i dont even know the existing lyrics never mind have any ideas to rework them

Its... so funny
*imagenes singing 'in the thingites'*

In the Thingites, yes you can rename the seven days.
In the Thingites, yes you can put your mind at ease.
In the Thingites, come on now people, make a stand.
In the Thingites, can´t you see you need a Spork.
In the Thingites, come on, join the revolution.
In the Thingites, come on and join your fellow, man.
In the Thingites, come on, people, and make a stand.
In the Thingites, in the Thingites.

We want you! We want you! We want you as a new recruit!
We want you! We want you! We want you as a new recruit!

Fantastic!!!



When will you be recording it

That's just the chorus, we the verses done...

Original "Navy" lyrics can be found at http://www.codehot.co.uk/lyrics/uvwxyz/villagepeople/inthenavy.htm

it's rather long...

much of the length is in the chorus though

so can we start work on the first verse

There is no hurry...just take your time and it will finally flow....

Songs make everything better...

mmmmmmmm Yesss!!

Where can you find pleasure go to work on Sodit learn science on Wimpy ?
Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true under the Strand Underpass on Thing?
Where can you learn to fly play in sports or study No No No?
Sign up for the Sporkites or do some gurning when we dream of other days.

In the Thingites, yes you can rename the seven days.
In the Thingites, yes you can put your mind at ease.
In the Thingites, come on now people, make a stand.
In the Thingites, can´t you see you need a Spork.
In the Thingites, come on, join the revolution.
In the Thingites, come on and join your fellow, man.
In the Thingites, come on, people, and make a stand.
In the Thingites, in the Thingites.

We want you! We want you! We want you as a new recruit!
We want you! We want you! We want you as a new recruit!

I suggested this several months ago. But my song was a rewrite of the classic Monty Python song "Knights of the Round Table".



We're knights of the Thing table.
We post whene'er we're able.
We call the days by their true names,
according to ancient fables.
We dine well here on 3N,
We eat cows and goats and hens!

We're knights of the Thing table.
Our spork-work's formidable.
We have lots of fun and eat some buns,
That are laid out on a table.
We're music mad on 3N,
We like to do funky dancin'!

In war we're tough and able.
And mentaly unstable.
Between our wars we sharpen sporks,
And watch a lot of cable.
It's a hard life here on 3N
(Lone knight) I like to play with Barbie and Ken!



It took me 1/2 an hour to remember that.
