Gangstas Paradise (a reworking)
 

Okay, so both of these are reworkings.Using satire, spoof and all that. The second one more serious and on the point that the first, which is more satirising, spoofy etc. but both still have 'seroius' points, even with the 'spoofiness' of them

I do this sometimes when i'm chillin, and just feel like it. Did this last night, in about 35 mins....not me best at it...but the ones i used to do i've lost...pah! i'm going on...here they are

As i walk through an alley in the shadow of debt..
I take a look in my pocket, and realise there’s not much left
cos i’ve been castin and laughin so long..
that even my ol’ baba thinks my mind has gone
But i always had money, though didn’t deserve it..
Buggered till the end, and you know that’s unheard of
So you better watch who you stalkin and where you walkin
Or you and your maties will be lined in chalk..
I really hate to trip, but i’m on dope
As i cloak, playing games in the stormy smoke, fool
I’m the kinda G little hoors don’t wannabe like
On my knees in the night
After clashing with a street light

We’ve been spending most our fives
Lighting up blunts to paradise..

They got the situation
They got me facin..
I cant live a normal life
i was raised by a dyke
So i gotta be down with the homo team
too much television watchin got me growin beans..
im an uneducated fool with lil’ money of any kind..
got my dik in my hand, and a gleam in my eye
Im a langer/bitch down and out, eating my banger..
and me lips are down, so dont arouse me anger, fool
debt aint nuthin but a hoors game away..
Im living life in a pub, what can i say?
Im 19 now but will i live to see the last episode of 24?
if my neighbour finds the plug, maybe so...

Tell me why, are we, so kind to these
Who fuk and suck, then eat our cheese

We’ve been spending most our fives
Lighting up blunts to paradise..

Sour and the rummy, rummy and the sour
stench after stench, shower after shower
everybody’s starvin but half of them aint looking
What’s going on in the kitchen
When the spliff is cookin
They say i’ve got to learn but nobodys here to teach me
If i lived off junk food, how can they reach me?
I guess i’ll eat
I guess they’ll fall
I guess i’ll seethe
That’s why i know i’ll need fake teeth, fool

We’ve been spending most our fives
Lighting up blunts for paradise

Tell me why, are we, so kind to these
who fuk and suck, then eat our cheese

Tell me why, are we, so kind to these
who fuk and suck, then eat our cheese

The second one, some parts are the same.

As i walk through an alley in the shadow of debt
I take a look in my pocket, and realise there’s not much left
cos i’ve been castin and laughin so long
that even my ol’ baba thinks my mind has gone
But i always had money, though didn’t deserve it
Buggered till the end, and you know that’s unheard of
So you better watch who you stalkin and where you walkin
Or you and your maties will be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip, but its true dope
As i cloak, playing games in the stormy smoke, fool
I’m the kinda G little hoors don’t wannabe like
On my knees in the night
After clashing with a street light

They got the situation
They got me facin
I cant live a normal life
I was raised by the ripe
So i gotta be down with the chess team

Okay, also there is terminology/slang that is localised mainly to UK and Ireland. And also some that have meanings that are beyong the usual oones. So i'll list what they roughly mean.

Castin(g) - Creating something by moulding it, or along those lines.

ol' baba - Grandad.

buggered - fuked, usually means analy (don't just see it as "oh, thats so gay", it's past that...i.e. not literal)...

Stalkin(g) - doesn't exactly mean stalking someone you like or something, in a perverse way. But more like someone/something stalking it's prey, like a eagle stalking it's prey, or lion...

Maties - friends.

blunt - spliff, in short. But once again, past that.

langer - Irish term meaning cunt. "Youse a fuking langer"

hoor - I used to spell it this way for irony purposes. But also used to differentiate with the stigma that a 'whore' is just someone who sells themselves for sex. But most people in this world are hoors, one way or the other. Some less so than others.

banger - sausage, get it? *remember, spoof/satire*

Sour and the rummy - sour is alcoholic drink, and rummy is well, an alcoholic i guess...sour is a drink only when with rummy on the piece i did, the other sour has it's usual meaning...

Pub - it's a place which is mainly a bar. but usually also does hot food. Sometimes karaoke, quiz nights etc.

yummy and the sour - tasty and the, well, sour...what doesnt taste nice (usually)...on it's own anyway...

tool - someone that is a tool. Like "You're a tool to him, a tool he uses for his own gain". Or someting like that.

Sorry if that all sounded patronising. But as i said, i think at least one person will be stuck with some of the lingo, as it is localised.

Y'know what? I once tried to do a parody of the song Gangsta's Paradise. But I sucked at it so I burned the paper. That was back before I could type... damn... that song is old. You realize how old that song is? I think my ol' baba listened to that song.

I was able to decipher most of the britlander n' such terminology. Except I thought hoor ment hour. But y'know what? You pulled it off, I know I've never parodized this song. Well, Weird Al has but, he parodizes everything.

Also, that dick in hand line was fucking funny as hell. I don't think I laughed that much at all today.

Mo-mentai.

Heh - yeah, it's old. But i done so many others. It just came on, so thought i'd do it.

Respect for the comments anyway...

Hey, y'know what else? I came back searching for this specific post because I had forgotten what hoor had ment and I've seen you use it on occasion. But now I know what it means.

Then I realized I was the only one who replied, so I guess this is a sort of up of sorts of ups.

Mo-Men.. Oh I don't say that any more.

~Shalom~

this song came out in 1995...Weird Al Yankovich
redid this song aftre about a year n the half later
after remaking michael jackson then eminem recently

I can say your Weird al with skills not really branching
out but making something seriously funny as well...
Id rather see you on TV than his annoying self...

I dont know what to say..its like its not even you..honestly

Argh! It was meant to be dug deep never to be found again!

But nah, thanks for upping it Necro. You've been digging up quite a few pieces. To good 'effect' too...

Content - Whatever do you mean?! Nah, appreciate your comments for sure.

...resp...

LoL....took me a minute to settle down after reading the first
one...
Interesting approach...first one just had me laughing in alot of places....
but second one took it a bit deeper...
and I know most of the terminology u used!!! WooT! seeing
our dialect is so close to the UK's....
But I really liked these...never thought I'd see the day where
you'd do it...But I'm glad ya did....very nice

I liked them both like soultress said the second one got deeper but that was the satire you spoke of im guessing
im surprised i knew most of the terminology also
i just got back fro mthe uk so i guess it makes sense
the peices are unexpected from you after reading a few of your other peices lol good job

~~elev~~
pz DF

Heh, yeah, judging from some pieces...

Appreciated all. But this was meant to be dug deep, damn that Necroidan..(!)...

I make better 'reworkings' lol, those who read it know what I'm talking about. Those who don't, well you're shit out of luck.

i thought this was funny as hell........ it took a second read to catch a little piece of the seriousness.......again i am astounded at your skill.......all jokes aside this was more enjoyable than annoying ass wierd al....1

not too bad but erybody knows what a blunt is,jus a lil info.keep elevatin,~1~

nice man
