The Night Fally Died

Featured Replies

The Night Falador Died

 

(with apologies to Paper Lace's "The Night Chicago Died")

 

 

 

Durial123 was a pk'er

 

on the east side of Fallidor

 

back on world 111

 

back in the bad old days.

 

 

 

In the heat of a winter night

 

In the land down under

 

When the town of Fally died

 

And they talk about it still.

 

 

 

When a pker named Durial123

 

Tried to make that world his own

 

And he called his gang to war

 

Against the forces of the mods

 

 

 

I heard a cry (My Phat!)

 

I saw them pray the night Fally died

 

Brother, what a night it really was

 

Brother, what a fight it really was

 

Glory be

 

 

 

I heard a cry (Guthans!)

 

I saw them pray the night Fally died

 

Brother, what a night the people saw

 

Brother, what a fight the people saw

 

Yes, indeed

 

 

 

And the sound of the battle rang

 

Through the streets of ol' Fally

 

'Til the last of the hoodlum gang

 

Had been booted out or died

 

 

 

There was shouting in the street

 

And the sound of running feet

 

And I asked someone who said

 

'Bout a hundred players are dead

 

 

 

I heard a cry (Bank your items!)

 

I saw them pray the night Fally died

 

Brother, what a night it really was

 

Brother, what a fight the people saw

 

Yes, indeed

 

 

 

Then there was no sound at all

 

But the system update ticking down

 

Then the door burst open wide

 

And Mod Murdoch stepped inside

 

And Mod Paul brushed their tears away

 

 

 

I heard a cry (Locked Out!)

 

I saw them pray the night Fally died

 

Brother, what a night it really was

 

Brother, what a fight it really was

 

Glory be

 

 

 

I heard a cry (**** PK'ers)

 

I saw them pray the night Fally died

 

Brother, what a night it really was

 

Brother, what a fight it really was

 

Yes, Indeed

 

 

 

The night Fally died

 

The night Fally died

 

Brother, what a night it really was

 

Brother, what a fight it really was

 

Glory be

 

 

 

The night Fally died

 

The night Fally died

 

...

 

 

 

Having been Pk'd myself three times in the month before construction came out to the tune of half a million gp cost to me (and I'm not a pker), I sympathize with the losers but for major updates the occaisional glitch is to be expected.

 

 

 

For those too young (or too tasteful :)) to remember, "The Night Chicago Died" was made popular back in the 70s by a band called Paper Lace. If you've never heard of them that's probably because they only had one other hit, "Billy Don't Be A Hero" and faded into oblivion thereafter.

Isn't this a copy of Bye-Bye Miss American Pie song? from the oldies :lol: :lol:

PKERS CAN ALL BE DAMNED TO HELL!

1 question can i have your permition to use that in the book im writing about runescape?

lol NICE poem/song!! -sniffs- Being a veteran to Runescape in general.. You brought tears in my eyes.. I feel Runescape not as just game, but an actual RPG, each person can be a TRUE person, buildings are actual buildings. And poems and storys make it feel so true, the emotion. The vision of seeing one of the all powerful Mod's coming and wiping the tears away from the ones who had died.

 

 

 

Excellent, excellent. Nothing more.

Wolfy is Officially Retired.

I miss you all (Well, mostly my friends n stuff)

If you want to talk to me, send me a message, I check the boards daily. :D

Yes, Coolx4guy, permission to use with proper attributions is given by me. Just remember to give Paper Lace their bit of credit too. They deserve it for the music and original.

 

 

 

The original song and lyrics are about a boy who's dad is a cop in Chicago during Al Capone's day and his worries about his dad.

 

 

 

And thanks Bobby1167 for the correction, guess I need an editor. :)

 

 

 

Not a bad first posting I guess. I've been playing runescape since late 2004 and lurking on tip.it almost as long. Thanx for the response.

I love that song, I probably shouldn't, but I do. :P

 

Nice job rewriting your own version. While I think the event doesn't deserve a song, it still is fitting.

the horror i was there it was like vietnam for nerds!!!!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhh![/size] :x :x :wall:

Just wait 'till Bubsa reads this thread... :lol:

Nice work man, you have some awesome talent.

I've gotta say, that's a smashing effort! :D The words and the rhythm stay similar to the original, which is a big key to 'success' on these things.

 

 

 

Good job! Any ambition to sing it for us? :P

bubsa get premission and sing it urself coz that would be great good song i missed the massacer but saw the vid and in my view the song is fitting.

WOW

 

 

 

great song

 

 

 

loved it - id like to hear more lol :shock:

I asked him to do that on MSN he said he couldn't because it made him too sad and it made him want to burst out crying, actually he said he had too much on his plate but my reason is way better for making him look bad.

He clearly wrote that it was a spin off of "The night Chicago died"...

Need assistance in any of these skills? PM me in game, my private chat is always ON

why has that poem got no rhythm? yet you specifically organised it with stanzas?

  • Author

it's organized in stanza, because it's supposed to be sung to the tune of Paper Lace's "The Night Chicago Died".

 

 

 

It's a parody/filk song.

Great song :)
