I spent good long while on this - it may not be terrific, but it's my first attempt at a song. It's a direct ripoff on Don McLean's "Miss American Pie," with an MK twist. (And of course it's sung to the tune of that song). Tell me what you think.
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how Kung Lao won the tournament
And I knew if he had he could
He would whip Shang Tsung good
And it would be one joyous event
But Prince Goro stood in his way
And Lao could not save the day
Bad news for the Shaolin
Shao Kahn’s forces did win
Our chances were gone with a bang
We lost each tournament to Tsung’s gang
Earthrealm gave a saddened harangue
Until there came Liu Kang
So, bye-bye, Miss Edenian Pie
Can’t take that portal, ‘cause I’m mortal
Nonetheless I will try
And that Bo’ Rai Cho was drinkin' whiskey and rice wine
Belchin' this'll be the day that we die
This'll be the day that we die
Did you hear the Prephecy
That Onaga’d come back with his army?
But that’s a long time away.
Will you bow to Shang Tsung’s control?
Can Liu Kang save your mortal soul
And will Raiden help him save the day?
Well, I know that Sonya’s on his side
And Johnny Cage, with his pride
But Sub-Zero’d pose a threat
Until he and Scorpion met
And Reptile was hidden in the fight
Liu Kang kicked Goro out of sight
Shang Tsung did not turn out alright
We won the tournament!
They started singin'
Bye-bye, Miss Edenian Pie
Can’t take that portal, ‘cause I’m mortal
Nonetheless I will try
And that Bo’ Rai Cho was drinkin' whiskey and rice wine
Belchin' this'll be the day that we die
This'll be the day that we die
Now for a little bit they’d been all right
But Shao Kahn continued the fight
With Kintaro and a younger Shang Tsung
When Jax found out Sonya was kidnapped
And Kung Lao II had to prove he was apt
In OutWorld their new attack was sprung
Oh, and while Scorpion was not looking
The new Sub-Zero started fighting
Smoke was in the forest
(But Ermac still hid the best)
And Kitana betrayed Shao Kahn
And killed her sis (who was hell-spawn)
And in the end Liu Kang won
Until Kahn tried again
They were singin'
Bye-bye, Miss Edenian Pie
Can’t take that portal, ‘cause I’m mortal
Nonetheless I will try
And that Bo’ Rai Cho was drinkin' whiskey and rice wine
Belchin' this'll be the day that we die
This'll be the day that we die
Sektor, Cyrax, and a re-vamped Smoke
Lin Kuei robots were no joke
Shootin’ missles, super-nets, and bombs
Johnny Cage had been killed
But the prophecy had been fulfilled
Sindel had returned (that’s Kitana’s mom)
Now Shao Kahn made the realms fuse
But to Shinnok Noob sent the news
Motaro was too strong
And the battle went on too long
And Khameleon tried tell Reptile
That all Shao Kahn had done was vile
Finally Liu Kang saved us in style
That war was confusing
They started singing
Bye-bye, Miss Edenian Pie
Can’t take that portal, ‘cause I’m mortal
Nonetheless I will try
And that Bo’ Rai Cho was drinkin' whiskey and rice wine
Belchin' this'll be the day that we die
This'll be the day that we die
Shinnok had been trapped for an eternity
Then got the “amulet” from Quan Chi
And from the Netherrealm he escaped
But he was betrayed and then killed
Because it was what Quan Chi willed
But he was sent to Hell before it all took shape
Oh, and Raiden became and Elder God
And Earthrealm was protected by his squad
But Quan escaped the flame;
An Alliance he and Shang became
Together they killed Liu, you see
And from there many fatalities
But in the end, Onaga had the victory
The day that many died
He was singing
Bye-bye, Miss Edenian Pie
Can’t take that portal, ‘cause I’m mortal
Nonetheless I will try
And that Bo’ Rai Cho was drinkin' whiskey and rice wine
Belchin' this'll be the day that we die
This'll be the day that we die
They had to destroy the Kamidogu;
Not to mention, brainwashed heroes too.
Luckily, Liu Kang’s zombie came back.
And many died in this war
Would it be One Realm as before?
Would it even do any good to attack?
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
Not a word could be spoken
The Elder God’s rules were broken
And the one god I admire most
Became all dark; the world’s toast
I think even he will be a ghost
Now it’s Armageddon
And they were singin'
So, bye-bye, Miss Edenian Pie
Can’t take that portal, ‘cause I’m mortal
Nonetheless I will try
And that Bo’ Rai Cho was drinkin' whiskey and rice wine
Belchin' this'll be the day that we die
This'll be the day that we die
Bye-bye, Miss Edenian Pie
Can’t take that portal, ‘cause I’m mortal
Nonetheless I will try
