I got this Idear after watching Stars In There Eyes Last Night. When somebody performed The song Mombo Number 5 (Can't remeber the artist name) anway I just rejiged The coruse replacing the names of the girls with the names of some of Knightmares resident Beauties.

Sorry if this is cheesey or crap but its the first time I have ever tried re-writeing a song and rehashing it in a KM way.


"A Little Bit Of Majida in my Life

A Little Bit Of Marta is What I Need

A Little Bit Of Gwendoline By My Side

A Little Bit Of Velda What I See

A Little Bit Of Sidriss In The Sun

A Little Bit Of Elita All Night Long

A Little Bit Of Romahna Here I Am

A Little Bit Of You Makes Me Your Man

Knightmare Mombo Number 5."


Well What do you think. And please be mercyfull.

Typical bloke ::)! All I have to do now is remember how the rest of the song goes as I havn't heard it in a long while and so I have forgotten how it goes. Anyway the artists name is Lou Bega! Your version was well thought out so well done ;).

You can hear the damn music every damn time there's a damn cricket match on Channel 4. I think it's Transworld's half-hearted attempt to make cricket seem "groovy" and interesting.

*Grabs "Massive Dance Hits" CD* Hey it's the first song on cd1.

Ladies and Gentleman this is KM number 5

1,2,3,4,5. Everybody in the mine cart so come on lets ride
to Scarmonger's stall, find some fools
they say they want some... ahh I give up it's not sounding or turning out right >:(! I keep having to listen to the music and my lyrics are not matching!

Excellent, Skarkill!  :) Lots of fun.

The entire song could go something like this:

One, two, three levels thrive
Everybody from the castle
Come on let's ride
To the market stall near the Greenwood
The boys say they want Etruscan brandy
But I don't know if I should
Spellfest like I cast last week
I must stay deep cos Sly's a creep
I like Melli-sandre, Lillith, Elita
And as I continue, you know they're getting sweeter
So what can I do? I really beg you Treguard
To me flirting is rather ill-starred
Dragons may fly, it's all good at the right times
Please set it in the bell chimes

[Skarkill's bit here]

Walk up and down and spin your Shield around
Shake your Helm to the sound, pick the food off the ground
Take one step left and one step right
One to the front and one to the side
Read the scroll once and choose a clue twice
And if it looks like this then you're doing it right

[Repeat Skarkill's bit]

[Emii's bit]

And now, how about we give the entire song a home in the Knightmare Songs thread: http://www.talkknightmare.co.uk/forum/y ... 1068055348? Is that OK with the other lyricists?

I Have no problem with that as long as the other people who contributed verses haven't got one.

Just one sujestion Drassil you could possibaly Switch Malice Or Gundrada for Lillith

Here comes a new song, Knightmare Mambo Number 5, that originated from an excellent idea by Skarkill in the following thread: http://www.knightmare/forum/http://www. ... 1073215882
