In the Dungeon Now [silly]

[The_Gneech]

I had a friend named Five-Finger Ted
a halfling who lived on ale and bread
not the best of rogues when all is said and done
Teddy snuck up to the Viscount
and tried to get "his discount"
but he blew it when his d20 came up with a 1

He's in the dungeon now
he's in the dungeon now
The judge just gave him heck
when Teddy blew his diplomacy check
He's in the dungeon now

I know a human named Oak Strongheart
a manly man of the warrior arts
I told him Ted would no longer make our maps
Oak said, "We've got to rescue him, smarty
he's a member of the party
and who else are we going to get to check for traps?"

He's in the dungeon now
he's in the dungeon now
Ol' Strongheart bit the dirt
'cause the prison wizard cast his sleep spell first
he's in the dungeon now

Now I'm a cleric of the god of duty
So I went and gathered up all our booty
I figured that I'd use it for the bail
I said, "We've got a date over in Myth Drannor
we've gotta give some orcs the hammer"
and the righteous bastard tossed me in the jail!

I'm in the dungeon now
I'm in the dungeon now
The judge said, "I can't believe you would
try to bribe me, you're Lawful Good!"
I'm in the dungeon now

Would this be a parody on the song with the catchphrase "in the army now" (sorry, don't remember the exact title or group who did it)?

Nope, but close. "In the Jailhouse Now," done by many. (I was using Johnny Cash's version as a model, but there are a bazillion others.)

Oh well, nevertheless, very entertaining! Two thumbs up!

This cracked me up...

I once wrote a parody of The Gambler...called The Gamer. Also working on a little parody of We're an American Band called I'm A Sembian Bard.

Oh the things I do to look like I'm "working" at work...

There are a whole bunch of song parodies about ENWorld and the Hivemind here and here.

Plus a couple more in the "X-Men2 is a frickin' cool flick" thread down in the Non-RPG forum.

I love song parodies, can you tell?

Well played, Bard Gneech!

"In the Army Now" by Status Quo

Just my 2 cents

There's a pretty good version of this song on the "O Brother Where Art Thou?" soundtrack.
