Are there any lyricists on this forum?

[CoolZidane]

I am writing a musical comedy that parodies the typical high-school movies (Napoleon Dynamite, Mean Girls, etc.)

If anyone on this board can write lyrics, I'd like them to help write the lyrics for the songs. If you help, remember: Keep it clean, but also somewhat funny.

The songs (that I have thought about so far) are as follows (along with a description to give you an idea as to what the song should be like):

Off to School (it is the hero's going to school, and it is somewhat like the opening number of the South Park movie)

Vote Gloria (a campaign song [for the head of Prom Night] that should have exciting but also villainous lyrics)

Prom Night (a slow, romantic song sung by the hero's friend, Jared, which he sings as the hero and the girl he likes begin to fall for each other)

The School Will Be Won (a song sung by the nerds as they prepare to win back the school from the popular kids)

Jared's Halftime Song (a song sung during halftime of the big climactic football game; it is a big Broadway-style song that is meant to serve as a distraction to the people watching the game)

Ending (An ending song for the movie)


I myself will compose the music for the songs, I just need lyrics to work off of.

I've written many songs, including the Charas-special "I Know How You Feel". Never got recorded though. I also wrote a song inspired by a girl I do not know called "The Girl From That Bus", including music.

I also wrote and sung the text of the song "YummyPoetry". I did not write the text to "Yummycakes!" or "Want Another", however I did remix these songs.

So yeah, I can write songs.

Okay. Could you do lyrics for the "Vote Gloria" song?

Gloria is the stereotypical popular girl running for head of Prom Night, and is also the villain of the film. The song is during her campaign. The song is partially her asking for support, and part is her friends telling about the supposed good things she has done. The song will be fast-paced and fitting for a villain.

[Legendary Troy]

im a lyricist but im more of a serious than funny so if you need me just let me know.

[ZeroKirbyX]

Most definateley ridiculous stuff for me. Check out scifichickn.deviantart.com for some songs/poems, including Denim Doom.

[AsakuraHao2004]

Oh.. parody music... it's almost as low as mime.

[GaryCXJk]

I'll give it a try at Prom Night then.

But what's the background of Jared, the hero and the girl? Storyline would surely help. Only with a bit info a songwriter can write songs.

Each of the characters are stereotypical, but at the same time making fun of the stereotype.

Hero = Unpopular, no one really knows him, he is made fun of by the popular kids

Jared = Typical sidekick, always on Jared's side, loyal to his friends

Girl = Quiet, somewhat popular, she is waiting for the right guy


Crappy descriptions, but it's the best I can come up with.

I'm a lyricist, I write/type my own songs.
Can I help?

[Kinslayer]

I write poems as a hobby, so you can count on me!!!

How about this for the nerd's song? (Tell me if you wanna change something, I wrote it in a hurry):

School will be Won

We will fight
For our right
To rule with the brain
And we will not care
About you.

If you're not
One of us
Better join our fight
Because we won't think twice
In kickin' you.

(This is the chorus)
Because we have the brains
That beats the brawns
Of the ones that have chosen
To reject all of us
The school will be won
By the smartest of all
So you better surrender
And join!
(The chorus ends here)

We are the beast
That sleeps
And will rise from the deep
Of the Chemistry Class
To kick your a$$.

We will fight
'Till we die
To get our rights
And make the school understand
That we have won!

(chorus)

You better surrender
It's no use to fight
Against the power
That we are holding down.
A Plus two war hammer!
A Plus six Flamethrower!
We have the weapons
And have the brain!
The thing is that
We don't have the strenght!
But we will create
A robot that will fight for us!
