Ok, I have this one...
I just found this on my hard drive here at work. According to the file, I wrote it in 2004. I seem to remember cranking it out for a thread very much like this back then, and I'm glad I saved it.
Not great, but ok I guess...
Specialist Wizard
(Sung to the tune of "pinball wizard" by the Who)
Ever since I was a young mage,
I’ve heard the magic call.
From Waterdeep down to Suzail,
I’ve adventured with them all.
But I ain’t seen nothing like him
In any Arcane Meeting Hall…
That specialist Wizard
Sure throws a mean Fireball!
He stands like a statue,
Becomes part of the Weave.
Casting incantations
While his fighter buddies cleave
Always gets initiative,
Crisp opponents fall.
That specialist Wizard
Sure throws a mean fireball!
He’s a powerful Wizard
There has to be a twist
A powerful wizard
With bracers on his wrist
“How do you think he does it? I don’t know! What makes him so good?”
He ain’t got no distractions,
Concentration is high as hell.
He knows the orcs are a coming
Senses them by their smell.
Always gets his spells off
No disrupts at all
That specialist Wizard
Sure throws a mean fireball!
I thought I was
The evocation king
But I just handed
My collection of scrolls to him.
Even in a wild magic area
He can beat my best
His mercenaries clear an area
And he just does the rest
He’s got crazy casting fingers
More opponents fall

DWARF WITH NO NAME
To the tune of “Horse With No Name”
(and apologies to AMERICA)
On the first part of the journey I was lucky to have my life.
We lost a cleric and the paladin when they failed to turn that wight.
The rogue ended up as a spot on the floor when a trap he didn’t find;
it triggered with a deafening sound and it left the mage flash blind.
CHORUS
Now I’m stuck in a dungeon with a dwarf with no name,
it felt good to be out of the pain.
In the dungeon you can’t remember your name,
'cause there might be a dragon there to roast ya in flames.
La, la, la, la-la la-la la, la-la la, la la ...
After two days in the dungeon’s dark
we lost the sorcerer to a goblin horde.
After three days in the dungeons’ dank
the fighter died by a bugbear sword.
And the rest of the group well we started to droop when we counted up our reward
CHORUS
After nine days the ranger died
when we stumbled on a hydra’s den
And the mage, blew himself to bits
when he mixed up his components again.
And if I get out of here one thing is perfectly clear
I’m gonna settle down and run an inn.
CHORUS

HOWL OF SCREAMSTo the tune of Street of Dreams
(with apologies to Rainbow)
I heard the sound of voices in the crawl
Spells bounce there was someone fighting
I looked around but no one’s in the hall
Stepped out, almost got fried by lightning
I've been like this before
My arms were dangling by my side
I've screamed in pain before I died
BRIDGE
Resurrection spell is what I will need
It’s time to go and see the priest
CHORUS
Monster dismembered me
in a howl of screams
Leaving just a bloody stream
In a howl of screams
Now I’m just a distant memory
No good to my dying comrades
Hope they win so they can rescue me
Otherwise I might fit inside a Glad bag
Something is eating me
And I don't want to be its meal
So glad this fantasy ain’t real
BRIDGE
CHORUS
SOLO
Something is eating me
And I don't want to be its meal
So glad this fantasy ain’t real
BRIDGE
CHORUS
Tell me do you always bleed (In a Howl of screams)
Every time you meet a fiend (I a H o S)
Do you know how to use a shield (I a H o S)
Fighter’s union card has been repealed (I a H o S)
Intestine lay in gooey strings, oh yeah (I a H o S)
I can hear you mauling me (I a H o S)
I can feel you gnawing me (I a H o S)
Eating me (I a H o S)

IT'S A DRAGON, THINK I’LL RUN.
To the Tune of Its Friday I’m in Love
(With Apologies to R. Smyth and The Cure)
I don't care if it’s a blue,
his teeth are sharp and his claws are too.
And he can always breathe on you,
it's a dragon, think I’ll run.
I’ve had armies fall apart,
watched one eat a mage’s heart
ever smell a dragon fart?
it's a dragon, think I’ll run.
Ogres are great
a troll I’ll even contemplate
but dragons make me hesitate...
I don't care if it’s a black
even whites have breath attacks.
I see one there’s no looking back
it's a dragon, think I’ll run.
Have you finally lost your head?
I’ll stay home and stay in bed,
or polish up my sword instead.
it's a dragon, think I’ll run.
Ogres are great
a troll I’ll even contemplate
but dragons make me hesitate...
Armored up to the eyes,
don’t want a nasty surprise,
where’s the cleric, I see those red wings rise.
Throwing out gouts of flame,
this attack was lame,
see a streak hear a shriek, I won’t be held to blame.
The halfling’s not a big bite,
it's such a gory sight,
he’s eaten in the middle of the fight.
I think I’ve had enough,
and I drop my stuff,
It's a dragon,
I think I’ll run. (AAAHHHHH!!!!!!)

OGRES, TROLLS AND MUMMIES
To the tune of Lawyers, Guns and Money
(With appologies to the late W. Zevon)
I was DMing in my campaign
the way I always do.
The players beat the wyvern
and the undead army, too
The 20 orcs I rolled up
should have been a risk
I’ll need ogres, trolls and mummies
to get me out of this
The bullette and the roper
and the horrors with their hooks
I watched the party hack apart,
every monster in the book
every monster in the book
every monster in the book
Now I'm looking at my MM
and I’m wondering what to do
They killed ogres, trolls and mummies
guess I'll use Chtuhlu
Ogres, trolls and mummies…

This should be a good start - several odd generes in rock.
And by the way - they're all copyrighted, so don't get any ideas.

Thank you very much. It was a classic that just lended itself to parody. The one by the Cure is inspired by a "real life" role-playing event. Let's just say that long life and valor don't mix. My personal fav though is Howl of Screams, but then I've always liked Rainbow during the mid-80s era, after Dio left the group and Joe Lynn Turner took over - but then I'm in the minority for that one.sydbar said:
I have some other generes coming up in the next day or two, including a really bad early 90s rap song that I think is better than the original (but then, that wouldn't be too hard for this song.) Any guesses?
