First parody ever made, inspired by some douchecanoe who spent the whole game shooting swarms at me a few days ago.
Don't think I have to tell anyone what the original song was... The radio has done enough of that.
I present to you... An Ode to a Dropship (Other titles due to indecisiveness include "Air Space" and simply "Swarm Launcher".
And before you ask I did consider singing it, but i think it'll be safer for everyone to find their own karaoke versions to sing along to. It's not perfectly matched to the original syllable for syllable but it does work if you speed up/slow down where you need to.
If anyone else enjoys it, I will happily accept some spare ISK change for donations. FW is hard and I'm bad.
Enjoy.
[Verse 1]
Nice to meet you
Where you been?
Hiding in the red line, recalling
Dropship, destroy, warpoints, win
Saw you there and I thought oh my god
Look at that hull, you look like my next target
Domination, wanna play (Oh, oh)
New module, afterburner
I can read you like a holoreel
We both know my rockets fly
Yeah I see you match-hopping
So hey, don't be shy
I'm dying to see your dropship spawn
Choose your loadout and deploy
I can let the tankers off for a weekend
[Pre-Chorus]
Even though you're immortal
Vehicles still go down in flames
You will fear me when you hover
Is your flight really worth the ISK
Got a long list of my haters
They'll tell you I'm a risk
Dont bother the developers
I'll still be part of the game
[Chorus]
I see you flying reckless
You misjudge my missile speed
It'll leave you breathless
More EHP you will need
Got a long list of my haters
They'll tell you I'm a pain
I'm a swarm launcher baby
And I'll be your bane
[Verse 2]
Alpha has
Just been hacked
You're on your way with your wings
Booster active, turrets live
But you ain't the king I own the sky
I know what you want
Clean deploys every month
But the worst is yet to come
Oh no
Forging, turrets, PLCs
Passengers' stomachs will be churned
All pilots filled with scorn
Keep you second guessing like oh my god
Where are they? Uplinks placed so secretly
But you'll come back when you explode
Thinking: "My team must have killed them for me!"
[Pre-Chorus]
Even though you're immortal
Vehicles still go down in flames
You'll see me on the horizon
Missiles streaking to your windscreen
Got a long list of ex-users
Left me 'cause of lock on range
Go ahead you forum warrior
Try remove me from the game
[Chorus]
I see you flying reckless
You misjudge my missile speed
It'll leave you breathless
More EHP you will need
Got a long list of my haters
They'll tell you I'm a pain
I'm a swarm launcher baby
And I'll be your bane
[Bridge]
Mercs only want ground game to be nurtured
They'll say that vehicles are overpowered
Pilots argue that vehicles should be super
They'll say that AV is too strong to counter
[Pre-Chorus]
Even though you're immortal
Vehicles still go down in flames
You will fear me when you hover
Missile impact could ruin your day
Your dropship will meet her maker
All that's left will be a stain
If only you were a developer
You could remove me from the game
[Chorus]
I see you flying reckless
You misjudge my missile speed
It'll leave you breathless
More EHP you will need
Got a long list of my haters
They'll tell you I'm a pain
I'm a swarm launcher baby
And I'll be your bane
