Subject: AmIRight Allstars........I beckon u

Written By: S_T_G on 04/07/04 at 08:46 a.m.

Hey this is the organizer of the AmIRight Allstars, after two years I have decided to do another big timers parody. This one is about the USA for Africa's "We are the World". This will be another AmIRight site praiser.

This parody needs 29 people, with myself included we only need 28 more. This post is giving everyone a chance to join.


First come, first served, but I will be choosing certain people beforehand. Each person will get a line. Not a hard thing, but just enough to see your creativity blossom without help.


Here are the lyrics if anyone needs a reminder.

There comes a time when we heed a certain call (Lionel Richie)
When the world must come together as one (Lionel Richie & Stevie Wonder)
There are people dying (Stevie Wonder)
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life (Paul Simon)
The greatest gift of all (Paul Simon/Kenny Rogers)

We can't go on pretending day by day (Kenny Rogers)
That someone, somehow will soon make a change (James Ingram)
We're all a part of God's great big family (Tina Turner)
And the truth (Billy Joel)
You know love is all we need (Tina Turner/Billy Joel)

( CHORUS )
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving (Michael Jackson)
There's a choice we're making we're saving our own lives (Diana Ross)
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me (Michael Jackson/Diana Ross)

Well, send'em you your heart so they know that someone cares (Dionne Warwick)
And their lives will be stronger and free (Dionne Warwick/Willie Nelson)
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread (Willie Nelson)
And so we all must lend a helping hand (Al Jurreau)

( REPEAT CHORUS )
We are the world, we are the children (Bruce Springsteen)
We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving (Kenny Logins)
There's a choice we're making we're saving our own lives (Steve Perry)
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me (Daryl Hall)

When you're down and out there seems no hope at all (Michael Jackson)
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall (Huey Lewis)
Well, well, well, let's realize that a change can only come (Cyndi Lauper)
When we (Kim Carnes)
stand together as one (Kim Carnes/Cyndi Lauper/Huey Lewis)

( CHORUS )
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving (Michael Jackson)
There's a choice we're making we're saving our own lives (Diana Ross)
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me (Michael Jackson/Diana Ross)

(just a newbie presuming i am participating)

How is the subject of the song determined? Or is it not pre-determined, and participants just contribute one line apiece, sight unseen like an Exquisite Corpse Writing Game?

Either way, I'm game!

The subject is about the website, the "What's Going On" parody did really well, and it even got nomiated for the AmIRight Best Parody Category.

So far.......we have 4 people total...............

ok, Im confused...if you said that the "We are the world" line was already done, how was I assigned it?

on a side note, do you want this stuff sent to you in PMs again?  

and as a suggestion, if we dont have enough people, it might be better to assign a few lines together to a person (probably all that one artist did on the original)

okay, if by Friday I do not have all the needed people then I will reorganize the parody. I'm using a friends' slow computer so I'm not doing as much as I wish. But I would like to have as many people involved with this project. AmIRight has been my home for about 5 years. I've put my markings on this site, and I want to continue until I'm old and frigid. (for all the Anti-STG fanatics, sorry but I'm only 18) So if by Friday we do not have all 27 spots filled then I will have to reorganize the parody with the people who are on the team.

FROM S.T.G.
PS- Do not start on your parts yet, in fact, after Friday we will be doing each line in order, one at a time. It might take a week or so before the final product is submitted. Is that all right with everyone?
