Preface: This counted as Heavy Metal back in 1982. Amazing! The times they sure are a-changing! Lemmy used to say that Motorhead was a blues band, only faster - and in retrospect songs like this proves it. Maybe a filler (the last song on the last album with the first classic line-up of Lemmy, Eddie and Philthy - and only fifteen lines) but still a great song.

ONE WEEK NOTICE!

On Friday June 22th 2018 there will be a parody from me on the front page of Amiright.

It will be based on:
Song Title - "Bang to rights" (1982)
Artist - Motorhead
YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4oNeGDmiac

As this week's One Week Notice host I'm now inviting you (Yes, that means YOU!) to write one too, then post it for the same day. The original song's lyrics follows below the mandatory fine print about these One Week Notices.


THE FINE PRINT: The core of One Week Notice is this: We all write parodies of the same original song - and then we post them on the same day! The song chosen ideally should be one that has not been already parodied on Amiright, and should also be of reasonable difficulty and length (Matthias is hosting a separate thread for general discussion about that part, see the messageboard and feel free to join in - or even better - sign up to host a round yourself!)

http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php?topic=56105.0

As things have evolved we're working on a From Friday To Friday basis. The host picks an original song and posts about it in a new messageboard thread on the first friday (or after the Thursday update on Amiright's front page if that's more convenient) and those who want to participate have one week to create a parody of it. All those parodies of the same song are then submitted to go on the next week's Friday's publishing date on Amiright (barring acts of God/Site Mods).

This challenge is not a contest judging for quality. No points are awarded. Constructive criticism is encouraged, but we have no strict rule or requirement for everyone to even read each parody and/or leave comments. Obviously that's an important part of the whole thing, but you won't get bashed if life gets in your way. The whole thing is done in the spirit of flexing our parody writing "muscles" and to grow back the spirit of camaraderie within the Amiright community. The host of a round must provide a link to the original song's lyrics (or post them in his/her host post, like I'm doing here below), a link to a YouTube video of the song (or an equivalent thereof) and information about what year the song was first released (to allow for the submission form on Amiright).

Took her to a bar, I thought I'd covered all my tracks
Thought I had it made, then I felt daggers in my back
You came walkin' through the door sailed into the attack
Don't seem to be my night
You got me bang to rights

I ain't gonna fight it baby, there ain't no excuse
Don't know what to tell ya, but I hope you don't cut loose
It don't matter anyway, my head is in the noose
You got me stitched up tight
You got me bang to rights

I can tell you ain't exactly listening to me
I just wish that I could think of some place else to be
I can make it up to you, just you wait and see
My future ain't too bright
You got me bang to rights

First two lines sound like the parody of some other song!

Motorhead is a good choice, short but sweet...there's not too much to expect from them, and that's a good thing.

I must kindly disagree (they are my favorite band after all). Lemmy always made a point of having on every album at least one, often more, deep lyrics about the horrors of war, civil war and/or general human folly. The anti-war ballad "1916" was even made title track - I don't think any other arena big metal act ever managed to get their record company to approve such a move.

Matthias "Crappy First Date"? 8)

BTW: Inspired by a recent parody from The Conqueror of Parodies called "We don't need to see your speedo" I'm working on "(A man should) Not wear tights"

I think I'm also gonna do something clothing related: "Tightie-Whites" about being in your underwear in front of the class

"Tightie-Whites"


I'm hoping to squeeze that phrase in too - we're getting predictable methinks! :D ;D

Here are some other ideas I dotted down during de initial brainstorm phase:

My dog got parasites // What's that in Fahrenheit? // Enormous appetite // Trump and the Muscovites // Amiright Reunite // I've porn in Gigabytes // She's got the copyright // I soiled my tighty whites // My girl crush pillow fights // Down there it's black as night // It's just the way I write

Gonna do SCARED TO FIGHT about a wussy guy getting cornered by a big bad biker dude and weaseling his way out of the fight

Guys, per Google, the opening line of the song is

"Take the stage!"

It is barely audible, but I thought you oughta know, particularly if you are a lyrics stickler.

I hastily added one line before submitting a few minutes ago.

I kinda forgot about that. Lemmy often open songs with lines not on the official lyrics sheet. There's one song starting with a loud burp.

Additional: Had to think about it, but it's this one:

Peter, since you seem to be a fan, I'd like to point you to this track from Ween, categorize under "the best song a band didn't write". Virtually every Ween song sounds completely different from their previous one! :)

Pretty strong MH vibe there, yes. The voice is not right though, Lemmy's raspy whiskey throat sounds are still quite unique.

As for "the best song a band didn't write" I'd say/nominate this riffbased one that would sit well on basically ANY album by AC/DC:

Will listen at home. Thanks for sharing.
