I'll Stab You (for Sumru)

Being an apology-by-request to robocop is bleeding for trouncing him unmercifully in a recent game of Diplomacy.

His original lyrics are here; I took some liberties with it to make the meter and rhyme work better for me.

I haven't heard the original song in a very long time, so I may have taken liberties with the melody and chord structure as well. Gratuitous synth strings and Oooooh sounds added just for cheese.

O Sumru, forgive me.
Kaiser.

It disturbs me a little how much more willing I've been lately to pursue bad musical ideas than to record serious music. But only a little.

That was unforgivable, cortex. Retribution will come your way, I do not doubt.

Is it wrong that I like this version better than the original? The piano is sublime.

Awesome.

Now dance! Dance my puppets!

I can identify. I'm pretty sure that's what Metafilter music is all about!

Epic.

I'm shocked and awed.

Excellent. I hereby declare it the official anthem of Diplomacy.

No stabbing me, though.
