Anime Song Parodies by Ewen "Blackbird" Cluney The following are a handful of song parodies with very distinct anime themes to them. The selection of songs is vaguely reflective of my taste in music, so you'll get more out of this if you listen to a lot of metal and alternative (whatever that means). My song parodies are rather spontaneous creations, so there's no way to tell if or when I'll write more. _________________________________________ closer to eva a parody of "closer" by nine inch nails third child here at nerv just what does he deserve? is he the chosen one? or was he abandoned? shinji just what's he fighting for? shinji asuka calls him a bore shinji the only thing that works for him just does whatever they tell him to he's gonna' fight them like an animal let out the rage that's on the inside he's gonna' fight them like an animal his whole existence is hell the evas are no angels he feels so much isolation he is in the hedgehog's dilemma he is all alone in his world of pain he can only do this one thing shinji in unit one shinji to kill the angels shinji it's his only purpose he can only do this one thing he's gonna' fight them like an animal let out the rage that's on the inside he's gonna' fight them like an animal his whole existence is hell the evas are no angels through all the battles and all the pain a troubled boy walks in the rain his father's praise is oh so dear in his world of blood and fear _________________________________________ Crash Course In Fanfiction A Parody of "Crash Course In Brain Surgery" by Budgie (as performed by Metallica) Look inside and you will see, Fanfics forming deep inside my brain.

Wearing a tiger-striped bikini She totally enthralled all the perverted weenies She's Lum, She's Lum Horns on her head She's Lum, She's Lum, She's Lum Ain't Ataru dead? Lum lingered looking for a man, But the one she got was lecherous and insane, No small thing that Lum could fly, Always zapping her favorite guy. She's Lum, She's Lum Got bright green hair. She's Lum, She's Lum, She's Lum She'll give you a scare Lum had long been lonely and wanted love Ataru slipped and stumbled into Lum She's the cutest oni you'll ever see, But he ran away at supersonic speeds. She's Lum, She's Lum What's in her head She's Lum, She's Lum, She's Lum I think he's finaly dead. _______________________________________ "20th Century (Amazon Girl)" A parody of "21st Century (Digital Boy)" by Bad Religion I can't believe it, way you act around me Like frightened cat on city street Ranma.
