Lyrics to a Parody
Jennifer Hussey
I was at a war here in Caid a couple of months ago and I heard a song
sung to the tune of Wagners' Valkyries. The only part I remember is :
Into the night sky, picking up dead guys, flashing their fat thighs,
Valkyries!.
Does anyone out there know the rest?
Very musically challenged

As far as I have ever heard it, that is all there is. Except the last line
is "Valhalla!"

Try:
We fly through the night skies
Flashing our fat thighs
Picking up dead guys -
You call this a job?
Very impressive when sung by wenches in tight bodices, although I suppose upon
reflection that a troop of strapping women in armour would be pretty
impressive, too...

Well, it's fun to see how things travel.
That was made up by friends of mine here in the BMDL.
What I remember of it is:
We ride throught the night skies
showing our fat thighs
picking up dead guys
hey, it's a job
Sorry I don't know if there is more. They way these things go
there are probably 6 versions by now, and each of them will be
claimed as the original.

As done by Leslie Fish and C.J. Cherryh at a con.
We fly throught the night skies
Showing our fat thighs
Picking up dead guys
You call this a Job?
I'll get the blond one
You get the redhead
Look out Bruinhilda
That one's not dead!

I sent the request to Rathflaed DuNoir, and this is what he sent back.

We fly through the night skies,
Flashing our fat thighs,
Picking up dead guys,
You call this a job?
You take the blond guy,
I'll take the redhead,
Wait he's not dead yet,
Let him go...SPLATT!
We're hunting the wabbit,
Hunting the wabbit,
Hunting the wabbit,
......
Enjoy!

The lyrics were:
We ride through the night skies
Showing our fat thighs
Picking up dead guys
Hey, it's a job
Look, there's a blond one
No. it's a redhead
Brigid, he's not dead
Bombs away--THUMP!

At one point, I added a few verses to the song:
Brunhilde's libido's
For Siegfried's machismo
Alberich is psycho...
where's that damn ring?
We fly through the night
On streamers of light
We're looking for guys who
Are willing to fight!
Join Wotan and Thor
In their losing war
Get killed in the day and
come back for more!
(If it seems like the last two verses don't have the same scansion as the
first two...well, they don't. Very roughly speaking, the Flight of the
Valkyries has two major sections. The first section, which I'll call A, is
the familiar:
da-DAH-dah-dah-DAH-dah
DAH-dah-dah-DAH-dah
DAH-dah-dah-DAH-dah
da-da-da-DAH
The B section section goes like:
da-da-da-da-DAH
da-da-da-da-DAH
da-da-da-da-DAH-DAH
da-da-da-DAH
Anyway, to sing the above, the music is: A-A-A-B-B, repeat until drunk.)

Three versions of a second verse came in:
A
:I'll get the blond one
:You get the redhead
:Look out Bruinhilda
:That one's not dead!
B
:You take the blond guy,
:I'll take the redhead,
:Wait he's not dead yet,
:Let him go...SPLATT!
C
:Look, there's a blond one
:No. it's a redhead
:Brigid, he's not dead
:Bombs away--THUMP!
On Monday I passed these on to my daughter, who's living in Scotland at the
moment. By Friday children all over Dunoon will be in trouble for singing
it...by next week, the entire west coast. What have I done? ; )
