Message Board of Doper Dreams
*Sung to the tune of **Boulevard of Broken Dreams ** *
**by Green Day - **
Performed by meek [/right]

*(intro; strobe light and fogger on) *

I lurk this message board.
The only one that I have ever known.
Don’t know where it goes,
But it needs a fee, so I want a loan.

My user name is meek,
On the message board of doper dreams.
But it isn’t free,
And I’m the only one that wants a loan.

I want a loan,
I want a loan.

I want a loan,
I want a --.

My cash flows’ the only thing that lacks about me.
My ego here will surely take a beating
Sometimes I know someone out there will pit me.
'Til then I want a loan.

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I’ll make a new sig line
That defines me somewhere in my mind.
Can you spare a dime?
I’ll put you in my sig ~ I want a loan.

Read between the lines
I fucked up and blew my bread on wine.
Now I’m borderline.
I have to join today so I want a loan

I want a loan,
I want a loan.

I want a loan,
I want a --.

My shadow’s the only one that’s broke besides me.
I’m hoping maybe they will wave my board fee.
Sometimes I wish someone out there will fund me.
'Til then I want a loan.

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I want a loan,
I want a --.

(cool flashbombs with guitar solo)
If you can help out meek
Join the message board of doper dreams.
It’ll make me weep
I’m not the lonely one and I thank ya…

My cash flows’ the only thing that lacks about me.
My ego here will surely take a beating
Sometimes I know someone out there will pit me.
'Til then I want a loan.

[right] Should I Wait or Should I Post?
Sung to the tune of "Should I Stay or Should I Go?"
by The Clash
Performed by meek
*(Intro; **meek **anguishing over his laptop) * [/right]
(Woooooo!)

Moddy, you got to let me know,
Should I wait or should I post?
If you say that it is fine,
I’ll post my crap here all the time.
So, you got to let me know,
Should I wait or should I post?

It’s always sleaze, sleaze, sleaze.
Included with my title tease.
One day it’s fine, now I’m a hack,
So please you all get off my back.
Well come on and let me know
Should I wait or should I post?

(faster)
Should I wait or should I post now?
Contemplate or let it go now?
If I post there could be trouble
Make me wait you burst my bubble.
So come on and let me knooow.

(slower)
This indecision’s bugging meek.
You think I’m some kind of freak.
If you don’t like it then bite me.
I know some Mods here want to pit me.
Come on and let me know,
Is it cool or does it blow?

(Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggghhhhhhhh)

(faster)
Should I wait or should I post now?
Hesitate or pad my post count?
If I post there could be trouble,
Make me wait you burst my bubble.
So you gotta let me know,
Is it cool or does it blow?

Repeat Chorus, faster

Should I wait or should I post?

The mod ruuuuuuulllles

(wicked guitar solo)

Be gone fool!

Better Be Good.
*Sung to the tune of Johnny B Good. *
by Chuck Berry
Performed by **Frank ** [/right]

*(intro; Doper Dancers flood the stage and dance the jive) *

Way up in Canada, among the evergreens,
Doper meek was hooked on way too much caffeine.
There on his laptop made of earth and wood,
He posted stupid songs he really thought that were good.
He never really learned to read or write or spell,
But he would parody songs just like he’s ringing a bell.

So post!
Go buddy go post!
Go buddy go post!
Go buddy go post!
Go buddy go post!
It better be good.

They say he found his PC in a gunny sack,
And posted high on weed, maybe even crack.
The other members would see him typing in the shade,
Groovin’ to the ticky-tack his keyboard made.
People lurking by would sometimes stop to say
Your post has ruined another song for me today.

Don’t post!
No buddy don’t post!
No buddy don’t post!
No buddy don’t post!
No buddy don’t post!
You really ain’t good.

(Guitar solo)

His mama told him someday he would be adored,
And he would be the jester of a message board.
Many people logging in from miles around
To sing his stupid songs until the board goes down
Someday his user name would be in lights
Singin’ better be good tonight.

(Repeat chorus – fade to black)

Great Posts of Fire.
*Sung to the tune of ** Great Balls of Fire. ** *
by Jerry Lee Lewis
Performed by **C K Dexter Haven ** [/right]

*(intro; Doper Dancers showgirl hiphop sequence, flaming red costumes) *
You got some nerve Bub, to challenge my brain.
Too much crud drives a mod insane.
So take a pill,
You imbecile.
Goodness gracious! Great posts of fire!

I laughed at you 'cuz I thought you were funny,
And I’m sorry that I whoooooshed you buddy.
They call me slime,
Here all the time.
Goodness gracious! Great posts of fire!

Cite this buddy! …woooooooo…you should!
You cry-baby!
Welllllllll I want to slug you like a mugger would.
Your lines, malign,
Got to tell this world that you’re swine swine swine swine. (Kicks back piano bench)

I read your tales and I twiddled my thumbs.
I ain’t no Einstein, but you sure is dumb.
So now maybe, admit you’re crazy.
Goodness gracious! Great posts of fire!

(piano solo, flash explosion ignites “piano flaming” effect)

Welllllllllllllllllll
Flame me baby…mmmmmmmmmm…feels good.
Scold me maybe.
Welllllllll I want to club you like a mugger would.
Your whine, unkind.
Had to show this board ya lost your mind, mind, mind, mind.

I read your wails as I twiddle my thumbs.
I cite the proof, and you will succumb.
So just maybe, say you’re crazy.
Goodness gracious! Great posts of fire!

Cajun Man.
*Sung to the tune of ** Iron Man. ** *
by Black Sabbath
Performed by **Cajun Man ** [/right]
*(intro; Forty foot robotic fire breathing Cajun Man stomps across stage, crushing threads in his path and smashing them to the ground,
while occasionally stopping and gently placing other threads in a different forum; Doper Dancers scatter and flee to escape the carnage.) *
I AM CAJUN MAN!

Has he lost his mind?
Can meek see or is he blind?
Can he sing at all?
If I move this will it fall?

Does he live in dread
That I want to lock this thread?
We’ll just leave it here
Though it’s CS I do fear.

He’ll just start to squeal.
In the great mp-sims field
Where he spends his time
Posting stupid little rhymes.

Nobody wants him
He just has to be told.
Posting his vengeance
That he will soon unfold.

Now the time is here
For Cajun man to spread fear
Causing me much strife
If members meet in real life.

Nobody wants him
They just skip his threads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

(guitar solo)

When I lock a thread
It fills the members full of dread.
Modding as fast as I can,
Cajun man has struck again!

Bummer!

Bummer, bummer, bummer!

You see me modding at midnight.
Thread shacklin’ woes.
Thread moves with the mouse a-clickin’
The moderator show.
I gotta let you know.

You got a bold askew,
You got a rogue strike-thru,
You got a link that’s screwed, tonight.
You got a low IQ,
You bumped an old thread dude!
(Gonna tell on you!)
Ut oh Skip Magic
Fixing boo-boos. (ut oh Skip Magic)
Ut oh Skip Magic (Just a little fixin’)
It’s what I do.

You got a low IQ…

Oh pitted! – by some newbie clown.
You know I’m getting pitted.
And he won’t calm down.
You see me modding at midnight.
Fixing all your replies.
How far can you take it,
Till you realize,
I don’t compromise.

*(intro; Tuba & Doper Dancers are in bumble-bee costumes with the dancers swarming.) *

Alllll I can say is that your posts are pretty lame.
You like watchin’ us all wince in paaaaaaaain.
And allllll I can do, is just post a line or two,
And hope you get a clue, cuz they’re inane.
You’re inaa-aa-aane.

I just want someone to say to meek, (oh oh oh oh)
We’ll always read you when you’re sane.
I know you all think that meek is high todaaaay,
But it seems to me he’s just insane.

And I don’t understand why we read all day,
Then we start to complain that they’re so laaaaame.
And alllllll I can do is just keep fixing your mistakes,
And hope when I awake, you’ve gone away.
Awaaaaay ~ awaaaaay ~ awaa-a-aaay.
Alllll I can say is that these songs are pretty lame.
Ya don’t like my point of view,
It’s cuz you’re insane.
It’s so la-ame… it’s so la-a-ame.

Some are old and rancid, : (
Pumping life into the dead with emotes… :dubious:

And it’s hard to say :confused:
What they are these days. :eek:
But I post them anyways. :wink:
Don’t you baby? :dubious:

I came a lurkin’ from another place
To post this smiley faaaaaace. : )

M
I’m moving on alone over questions no one knows.
Like 14 k of g in a fpd :confused:
There’s a mod in every forum
And I’m showin’ no decorum :o
And I’m quoting with a thousand big grins :smiley: sub[/sub]

Your “roll eyes” in the Pit threads
And a sig too vast to mention,
My head has room for expansion no more.
And there’s a corner of the board
They’re telling you is yours
How far it goes we’re not really sure. :eek:

Bump it up
Sung to the tune of ** Pump it up.* *
by Elvis Costello
Performed by ** meek ** [/right]

*(intro; Doper Dancers do the “Bump”. *

Thread lacked a title hook
Didn’t get many looks,
Singing with the muzak,
Thinking ‘bout bumpin’ that?
You said, “What’s that?”
Wanna add some chitter-chat?
Bump it up a little bit
Don’t let it fall flat.

Bump it up! - When you don’t really need it.
Bump it up! - Until we all read it.

Down in the forum centre,
Hell bent on its descent,
Message board propaganda.
Chock full of members’ slander.
There’s nothing lower than
A self bump I understand.

Bump it up! - When you don’t really need it.
Bump it up! - Until we all read it.

Bumps are a members’ pal.
They’re like a chemical.
Tuba tries to stop it,
They’re like a narcotic.
You wanna torture her.
You wanna torment her.
Zombie threads are taunting her
Bumping up her temperature.

Bump it up! - When you don’t really need it.
Bump it up! - Until we all read it.

This little forum show,
After I hit submit
I put my passion out
Didn’t get a single hit.
Dopers’ new mission,
Bump-and-run submissions.
No use wishin’ now its headed for the Pit.

Bump it up! - When you don’t really need it.
Bump it up! - Until we all read it.

There’s no need to be un-hap-py.

Lurker, there’s a place you can go.

You can post there, and I’m sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.

There’s a place there called the SDMB.
They can make you smart you dum-my.

A meek thread joint.

Standing ovation from WhyNot, who is in no way posting to this thread in order to be mentioned in SDMB III: The Revenge of the meek.

Encore! Encore!

Christ, son. You’ve really outdone yourself this time.

Meek, another awesome and amazing production. BTW, check your subscription, it should be paid up now.

How do you put these songs together? They are incredible.

Jim

Wow Dude You are unbelievable! I’m paid until 2008!

Dude, you didn’t have to do that just because the opening number begged for a loan to join this board, I can pay the fee… really.

But I will spend the loot I save by having some wine and toasting to you my friend.

The songs just write themselves, seriously. For instance, in “The Mod Rules”, I only had to change one letter in the title ~ and the rest just wrote itself.

Too much Mad magazine as a kid is more likely the reason.

Thanks again Jim.

Thanks again all. You guys crack me up everyday. I hope I got a smile from everybody.
.

All right, someone drum up a score and we’ll hit Broadway. Wicked? Pbbthh. The Straightdope Musical’s gonna rock New York.

Only thing it needed was some evil satanic messages, hidden in the spoiler box, say.

Meek, I am in awe. One helluva job and very well done!

:: enthusiastic applause ::

(And thanks for remembering me!)

“Its fun to post at the S-D-M-B!” Wohooo! meek, that was incredible, I’ll throw rose petals in your path wherever you go, that was brilliant!

Well done.

Can I put “doper dancer” on my resume now? :smiley: :smiley:

Only if you don’t want the job. :wink:
.

meek, you’re more than marvy! Thanks for the lovely entertainment!!

clappity clap clap clap

Excellent, excellent work, meek! Especially loved Skip Magic and Bump It Up – terrific job!

I’m a dancer! I’m a dancer!

does the bump

You so rock, meek!

I’m going to go practice my high kicks.

Sir, I am honored to have been one of the dancers for this … majestic marvel, this beautiful ballyhoo, this parodical production of preposterous proportions. I salute you thusly:
:: stands and salutes, then breaks out into breakdancing ::

:smiley:

Sadly, I’m a geezer who mostly listens to NPR so I don’t know half of the songs, but the ones I do know were very well done. Bravo! Woohoo! <flinging confetti with wild and reckless abandon>

Ahhh… nostalgia. Thanks, meek, your original SDMB musical thread was one of the last ones I read as a lurker; everyone was having so much fun I had to join! Unfortunately, in the last year I have become adept at killing threads also…
