Make It Stop - !!!NEW!!!

Just got this month's posts in in time.
First a parody song for all those people who are sick of a certain Disney song.

Let It Go Make It Stop not from Frozen

It’s been so long since we first heard that song
But yet still it haunts our dreams
A single lone repetition
Makes me feel I want to scream 

The tune is endless like a never ceasing tide
Even when it’s gone it’s still deep inside
Don't want to think, don't want to know
Just how those familiar lyrics go
Implore “no more” don't let it stay
‘Cause now I say

Make it stop, make it stop
Can't stand that thing anymore
Make it stop, make it stop
Every sentence I abhor
You may love the message it brings
But think you should know
It would be a mistake to try to sing

Although you might not realise the impact that it has
The thought of hearing it now is something I can’t let pass
It's had its time, it’s had its fun
And also a more than fair run
No more I beg - it’s not for me
Oh please

Make it stop, make it stop
We have heard it one time too much
Make it stop, make it stop
Don’t want any more slush
No more please that tune it stings
Yes think you should know

It might seem like it’s just a cute Disney ditty
But I’m begging of you to please have some pity
Let this time that we hear it be the very last
Let’s put this song to rest and leave it in the past

Make it stop, make it stop
Why won’t it ever go away
Make it stop, make it stop
Hasn’t it now had its day
No more please that tune it stings
Yes think you should know
That is one song you should never sing

No This Ain't Love - !!!NEW!!!

Song number 2 - a brief but famous Disney classic with a twist from a different Disney angle - namely Elsa's from Frozen

So This Is Love No This Ain’t Love not from Cinderella

No, this ain’t love, mmm
No, this ain’t love
No, this is what most would call lust
It’s clear to show, mmm
Why don’t you know (why don’t I know)
The key to true love is just time

See here’s the thing, mmm
You have just met
To know each other you must get
While this is enchanting
I must give you a shove
Mmm, mmm
No, this ain’t love

Shakespeare Rap Battle - Midsummer Night's Rap

Another Whitney Avalon parody - this time using a two hander.
(The inspiration for this one can be found here)

Princess Rap Battle – Rapunzel & Flynn vs Anna & Kristoff Shakespeare Rap Battle – Midsummer Night's Rap

[Verse 1: Hermia]
I’m the one who has the most beauty
This is proved by the fact all the boys want me
I am the sweet young maiden, despite what you think, ‘kay?
I’m daddy’s princess who will get her way
‘Cause I’m the best, can’t be denied
And out of my suitors I’ll choose who’s by my side
Because princes, aristos and nobles, when they’re looking for a bride
Want me and not you - so sad, you have no-one by your side
You can’t touch dis - don’t try - go ahead and cry
Watch as every man you love seems to just pass you by
I can’t believe how dumb you are, of course I won his heart - duh!
Say it again, I attract men, you can never play that part - ugh!

[Verse 2: Helena]
Think that you had a blackout, and I know what you lack now
You can’t handle the facts now, gonna hand you some back now
Pretend you’re so pure but I know it’s all an act now
Time to give you a reality smack down
Hermia thinks she’s so strong but forgotten when love falters
And suddenly it jolts her when Lysander love for her alters
So adored yet so abhorred, had to elope to win
When his keenness grew thin you still wouldn’t give in
You’re not the most beautiful of that you are so afraid
The word on the street is that you’re not even a maid
A superficial dupe don’t know what made you madder
That you weren’t the best or finding my game was badder

[Verse 3: Lysander]
I kinda liked you girl, but that was all just a fantasy
There is just one girl I want and that is very plain to see
I won the girl your man wanted - didn’t need money
You are so sad, girl, it’s so sad. Girl - Hermia’s my honey
Her father might rather she wed a rich courtier
But our love to founder? Not something we fear
You think I loved you? Well, someone should have told ya
Cause hun it could never last, when I woke up grew colder

[Verse 4: Demetrius]
Don’t be rude, Lissy, you cannot forget what you said
Despite what you tell yourself in your head when in bed

The words you said behind Hermy’s back, 

About everything that your princess lacks
Love Helena, and I won her, you’re left with the second prize
You might say that you’re not jealous but I see love in your eyes
You're just a terrible loser only better as a snoozer
You're just no good and should go back to being a boozer

[Verse 5: Hermia (Lysander)]
Can I interrupt here Miss Perfect’s plan
Just to remind her that I had her man
Just so pathetic, and a nervous wreck
Don’t stand a chance when you compete with idyllic
(So desp’rate for a man but all you found was desolation)
It’s you and not me that really is the poor consolation
You’ve always been beneath me and some things still stay the same
(Because any way you play you can never win this game)
This Ancient Greek doofus is still so deluded
Believing the effects of what a bad night’s sleep did
Of course you think you won, but know he really wanted me
You are the weaker one why don’t you go cry by a tree

[Verse 6: Helena (Demetrius)]
You've got an attitude that won’t quit but that’s not a good thing
Soon Lysander will regret what he got for a wedding ring
While we're on the subject, ‘cause I just have to ask
But could he even afford one? ‘Cause that is a costly task
(I am richer grander nobler and we will never want
When you look to your man you’ll find Lysander can’t
By great Oberon I will keep going on
Until you admit we have won this song)
You think you’re just so perfect. But now this part will kill
You’re just a spoilt brat – no discernable skills
You had to find a husband because no one can live for free
And you pissed off your dad big time so enjoy poverty

Let Them Know - !!!NEW!!!

I was inspired by this picture to pen this parody in response to the recent terror attack in London.

Let It Go Let Them Know not from Frozen

The lights glow bright on the river tonight

Not a hater to be seen

A kingdom that is united

This shows just what that means

The press is howling claiming death and pain and war

Won’t let terror win, we don’t want that gore

We’ll let them know, we’ll them let see

Just what being a Londoner does mean

Stand tall, don’t fall down to the foe      

Our strength will grow

Let them know, let them know
It is pointless trying more
Let them know, let them know
Our spirits will always soar
We’re not scared
We just go on our way       
‘Cause the world goes on.
We will prove to them we will win the day

It's funny how such hatred
Makes everyone unite
Won’t let fear ever control us
Not gonna lose this fight

It's time to show what we can do
To stand together and win through
No fear, no doubt, know right from wrong
We’re strong!

Let them know, let them know
Doesn’t matter how hard they try
Let them know, let them know
Though grief might make us cry
We will win
‘Cause come what may
The world still goes on

The story travels through Facebook and on Twitter
Our strength will be remembered for all time and forever
They thought that they could ever make us run in fear
We’ll prove that they were wrong, ‘cause we won’t move from here

Let them know, let them know
We will not give in to their hate  
Let them know, let them know
Surrender’s not our fate
We will win
Whatever they say
‘Cause the world goes on

We will prove to them we will win the day

She Had It Coming - !!!NEW!!!

A popular twist these days seems to be to take a traditional fairy tale and look at it from the villain's point of view - i.e. Maleficent, etc. So I thought I'd do the same using a song from a popular musical. 

(Animation) Cell Block Tango or She Had It Coming - not from Chicago 
Ursula: Sign!
Tremaine: Stay!
Maleficent: Sleep!
Elsa: Uh Uh
Queen: Snow White
Cruella: So soft!
Ursula: Sign!
Tremaine: Stay!
Maleficent: Sleep!
Elsa: Uh Uh
Queen: Snow White
Cruella: So soft!
Ursula: Sign!
Tremaine: Stay!
Maleficent: Sleep!
Elsa: Uh Uh
Queen: Snow White
Cruella: So soft!
Ursula: Sign!
Tremaine: Stay!
Maleficent: Sleep!
Elsa: Uh Uh
Queen: Snow White
Cruella: So soft!
Ursula: Sign!
Tremaine: Stay!
Maleficent: Sleep!
Elsa: Uh Uh
Queen: Snow White
Cruella: So soft!
All: She had it coming
She had it coming
She only had himself to blame
If you'd have been there
If you'd been through it
Queen: I betcha you would have done the same!
Ursula: Sign!
Tremaine: Stay!
Maleficent: Sleep!
Elsa: Uh Uh
Queen: Snow White
Cruella: So soft!
Ursula (Spoke):  You know how people have these prejudices that make no sense.
Like Triton. Triton was anti-women.
No, not women. Me.
So I’m banished to a cave just for wanting to help him rule, and I'm looking for a way of get back at him
And there's Ariel swimming into my home, asking for help to get Eric.
Yes, not Triton. But me.
So, I said to her, I said, "Of course dear just sign on this line..."
And she did.
So I took brought my cauldron up to boil and gave her the legs she wanted...
...and took her voice.
All: She had it coming
She had it coming
She only had herself to blame
If you'd have been there
If you'd been through it
I betcha you would have done the same!
Tremaine (Spoke):    I knew Cinderella was a flighty girl from the day I’d met her
And when her dad died I made sure that she was kept busy all the day
And that’s when we got the invitation
We went to the ball, she stayed home, to fix up her dress, like a good girl.
And then I found out,
"Stay at home" she told me “Why would do that? “
Not only had she gone out
Oh, no, she’d won the prince.
Fairy godmothers, you know.
So that day, when the Duke came round to visit,
I made sure she wouldn’t interfere
You know, some girls just can't keep their noses out.
All: She had it coming
She had it coming
It’s the same story time after time
Cause they ignored us
Simply abhorred us
It wasn’t murder no more a crime!
All: Sign, stay, sleep, uh-uh Snow White, so soft
Maleficent (Spoke): Now, I'm sitting on the grand throne
Alone in my grand and darkened tower,
Minding my own business,
In come my guardsman and he’s got news to tell.
"The king’s holding a christening," he says.
How exciting
But then he went on, "but you’ve not been invited."
So then I cast a little spell.
I cast a little spell to make them pay.."
All: If you'd have been there
If you'd been through it
I betcha you would have done the same!
Elsa (Spoke): It’s just not fair, is it? I’ve had these powers ever since the very day I was born
It’s not like I wanted them.
My parents told me - hide them far away. So I did
Now Hans says I tried to murder Anna.
My sister
I tried to explain it wasn’t true but nobody believed me...
Maleficent (Spoke):    Yeah, but did you do it?
Elsa: Uh Uh, not guilty!
Queen: I knew when I married the king he was a double act
‘Cause his daughter, Snow White, always hung around with us.
Now, my most prized possession of all, was my mirror and it’s to this I would ask
Mirror, mirror on the wall – who’s the fairest of us all?
Well, this one day I got up from my bed,
I’d had a good sleep it was a sunny day outside
And I went to my mirror to ask it the question.
What came back, I couldn’t believe
‘Cause there was an image of a young girl
But surprisingly it’s not me
It was Snow White.
Well, I was in such a state of shock,
I completely freaked out over such a little thing.
It wasn't until later, when I was standing with her heart in my hands
I even thought she was dead.
She had it coming
She had it coming
She had it coming all along
I didn't do it
But if I'd done it
How could you tell me that I was wrong?
Queen: She had it coming
All: She had it coming
Queen: She had it coming
All: She had it coming
Queen: She had it coming
All: It’s the same story
Queen: All along
All: Time after time
Queen: I didn't do it
All: Cause they ignored us
Queen: But if I'd done it
All: Simply abhorred us
Queen: How could you tell me
All: It wasn’t murder
Queen: That I was wrong?
All: No more a crime!
Cruella: I loved clothes and fashion more than I can possibly say.
They made me feel reassured...
comfortable... and secure.
So I was always trying to find the best.
I thought I’d found the answer in a new coat but that involved
Collecting dogs – Dalmatians – little puppies - for their coats.
I guess you can say things went wrong because of a difference of opinion.
Some thought they were better alive
And I thought better dead.
All: Of all the luck, luck, luck, luck, luck
What rotten luck, luck, luck, luck, luck
Ursula, Tremaine, Cruella: She had it comin'
Queen, Maleficent, Elsa: She had it comin'
Ursula, Tremaine, Cruella: She had it comin'
Queen, Maleficent, Elsa: She had it comin'
Ursula, Tremaine, Cruella: She had it comin'
Queen, Maleficent, Elsa: She had it comin'
Ursula, Tremaine, Cruella: All along
Queen, Maleficent, Elsa: All along
Ursula, Tremaine, Cruella: 'Cause they ignored us
Queen, Maleficent, Elsa: 'Cause they ignored us
Ursula, Tremaine, Cruella: Simply abhorred us
Queen, Maleficent, Elsa: Simply abhorred us
Ursula, Tremaine, Cruella: And yet it’s us who
Queen, Maleficent, Elsa: And yet it’s us who
Ursula, Tremaine, Cruella: Are in the wrong?
Queen, Maleficent, Elsa: Are in the wrong?
Ursula, Tremaine, Cruella: She had it coming
Queen, Maleficent, Elsa: She had it coming
Ursula, Tremaine, Cruella: She only had herself to blame.
All: If you'd have been there
If you'd been through it
I betcha you would have done the same!
Ursula (Spoke): Just sign on that dotted line!
Tremaine (Spoke): Stay home? Yeah right.
Maleficent (Spoke): Left out!
Elsa (Spoke):  I never wanted these powers.
Queen (Spoke): Not the fairest one – now it’s Snow White.
Cruella (Spoke): Opinion differences.
Ursula: Sign!
Tremaine: Stay!
Maleficent: Sleep!
Elsa: Uh Uh
Queen: Snow White
Cruella: So soft!

From The Mind of Merc - Disney Part 2: Observations

Sometimes I find my mind wandering over various eclectic topics and occasionally I am inspired to write some of them down. Today I was thinking about the plot holes in Disney films. 

This one’s slightly different and it highlights the lack of common sense found in most Disney princesses.

For example:

Princess & the Frog: Why couldn’t Tiana, with all her street smarts, think to say “How about we sign this paperwork for the mill now so it’s legally binding and you can’t sell it out from under me?”

Tangled: Why didn’t either of Rapunzel’s parents or the guards think to say “Hey Maximus, this is Rapunzel’s baby blanket. Got the scent? Fetch!

Pocahontas: Did it slip John Smith’s mind to say “Oh yeah – actually, guys, there’s no gold here.” (Jake Sully take note)

Hunchback of Notre Dame: Had the Archdeacon of Notre Dame taken a vow of silence? “Quasi – your mum was a gypsy and Frollo killed her. He’s the one who’s ashamed of you.”

Enchanted: If Pip could speak before he entered the real world – which is presumably how he communicated to the Prince what had happened to Giselle – why didn’t he add “Btw, your stepmother did it. And I think Nathaniel’s working for her too.”

Sleeping Beauty: How about Aurora’s parents telling her “Hey Aurora, do us a favour and don’t touch any spindles. Because if you do you will die.”

Frozen: Why couldn’t Elsa’s parents think to say “Elsa, your powers are super cool – literally. Never be afraid of them and never hide who you are because that will end badly”

Brave: Or maybe Merida’s mum could have said “Enough with this training stuff – I know you know it – how about some mother-daughter bonding time.” Or “You know what? Even though I’m just the queen I’m pretty powerful in my own right. Why shouldn’t a woman who’s the first born of her clan be the equal of the first born men?”

Lion King: Why couldn’t Simba have thought to tell the others that Scar killed Mufasa.

Cinderella: Why didn’t she think to tell the prince more about her and maybe suggest use something else to find her than her shoe size.

Little Mermaid: Exactly what was it that stopped Ariel WRITING DOWN her name and that she saved Eric? After all, she signed the contract with Ursula so she must be able to write.

Snow White: Why didn’t she think to use all those gems mined by the dwarves to either bribe the queen’s guards and/or buy the queen’s castle

The last four come from the inspiration for this entry - a post I found on Tumblr: http://ethulinda.tumblr.com/post/122501747445/nintendofiend-adventuretimewithlewis
