Wolfenstein 3-D
uh-oh, filk!
I likes me the computer games. Four computer games, to be exact. I likes me the Nelda Nockbladder, I likes me the Defense of the Squid Man, I likes me the NetHack and I likes me the Wolfenstein 3-D.
I don't recall exactly what led me to write this song, but I don't have a tune for it. Apparently you can make it work to Greensleeves or The Wind Cries Mary, or you can just sing it in a generic sort of country voice. Not Hollywood, synth-pop country, though. Old creepy moonshiner country. I guess folk, really. Those folk songs that are about whiskey and coon dogs and walkin' shoes. Anyway, here it is:
Baby, watch me whup my weight in pixels
I been gamin' seems like 'most my life
But not with lasers, nukes or blaster cannons
I start out with a pistol and a knife
I never liked to cast no magic missiles
Don't care what combat's like in zero-G
So if there are computer geeks in Heaven
I'll be the one with Wolfenstein 3-D
Don't wanna talk with any other players
Nazis, zombies, they're all NPCs
Sure, there's multi-user dungeon chat rooms
But I'll play solo Wolfenstein 3-D
Some folks like games where you control an army
With elves and humans and an orc or three
Just settle back and plot their next maneuver
I'm fighting hand-to-hand in Wolf 3-D
Just set me down in Castle Hollehammer
One gun, no armor; that's all right with me
I don't have to heal none of my wounds up
God mode ON in Wolfenstein 3-D
I got my knife, my pistol and machine gun
The chain gun's in the next room, wait and see
Yeah, you go play your "stoopid fresh" street fighter
Hitler's in my sights in Wolf 3-D
People laugh and tell me I'm a throwback
"Why not play Doom? You've got a fast PC!"
They show off BFGs and custom WAD files
But 'neath the glitz, it's good old Wolf 3-D
