We debuted at NUMBER ONE!!!

[Patribot]

Thanks so much to everyone who helped "I Want My City Back" debut at #1 on the Mad Music Top 20 Countdown! This is amazing and there's no way this would have happened without the efforts of this community. We have reached additional thousands of like-minded people, geeks like us, with the word about our efforts to save our community.

The one issue we had was that the host tried to plug a podcast that I haven't done in 3 years. I have sent her a note to plug SaveCoH.com and CoHTitan.com when she does the outtro the song. So let's make sure she has the opportunity to do it at Number One again next week!

Also, could someone post the lyrics here?  Listening to it now....  :)

"I Want My City Back" – parody of Meat Loaf "Life Is a Lemon (And I Want My Money Back)"

I want my City back
I want my City back

[Par - a – gon]

I am a hero
In a city under siege
Every time I turn it on
I can be who I want to be

There's always someone
Someone there to save the day
That's the only guarantee
What being a hero's all about

It was an unprovoked attack
Worse than the Rikti, that's a fact
[They try to kill it, but I want my City back!]

There's all the stories
And all the heroes we have known
They're the ones who save the day
It's not just a game this is about

Then there are villains [Then there are villains]
Willing to take up the cause
To stand beside their mortal foes
To fight the threat that's come about

And we won't sit still for this attack [No way]
A force of evil, clad in black.
[They try to kill it, but I want my City back!]

[I want my City back]
[I want my City back]

Paragon City
[We are heroes!]
We'll defend it to the last

And the Rouge Isles
[We are Villains!]
Our resolve is unsurpassed

What about history?
[We are heroes!]
All the tales we have wrought

What about your friends?
[We are heroes!]
Side-by-side, never forgot

What about hope?
[We are Villains!]
We've been sold out and betrayed

What about conquest?
[We are Villains!]
We are joining this crusade

What about the odds?
[We are heroes!]
Remember, this is what we do

What about your town?
[We are heroes!]
And we're going to see this through

What about evil?
[We are Villains!]
It's no good without the prize

What about destruction?
[We are Villains!]
You can't rule it if it dies

What about the shutdown?
[We are heroes!]
It's against this we're amassed

What about the future?
[We are heroes!]
This is a challenge we'll surpass!!

[I want my City back (They try to kill it)]
[I want my City back (They try to kill it, they try to kill it)]

I am a hero
In a city under siege
Everytime I turn it on
I can be who I want to be

It was an unprovoked attack
Worse than the Rikti, that's a fact
[They try to kill it, but I want my City back!]

And we won't sit still for this attack [No way]
A force of evil, clad in black.
[They try to kill it, but I want my City back!]

City of Heroes!!!!

They try to kill it, but I want my city back.
They try to kill it, but I want my city back.
They try to kill it, but I want my city back.
They try to kill it, but I want my city back.


They try to kill it, but I want my city back.
They try to kill it, but I want my city back.
They try to kill it, but I want my city back.
They try to kill it, but I want my city back.

If your defunct podcast got plugged...would you be able to do a special edition of it just this once to take advantage of that, and spread word that way?

Sorry, it's been over 3 years since I did the show. I don't have the website or even the web address any more. (Real-life got a bit more complicated than expected and I no longer had the time to put out the quality of show I felt comfortable with.)I've used some of my old contacts to get the song and topic out into the podcasting community, but that's the best I've got at the moment.

[Rae]

Congratulations! :)..on the song. Not the real life getting complicated so having to pull your podcast. :)

[Segev]

Sorry to hear about the difficulties, but yes, congratulations on getting your song out there! Good work, and thank you. ^_^

[Kaiser Tarantula]

Awesome song.  Really good work, adding new lyrics like that, and congrats on debuting at number one.

[Patribot]

Thanks for all the "Gratz", I guess I did "Level-up" with this one.  :D

A reminder for those of you who want to help keep this at the top of the heap for a little longer to help get the word out, voting for the Mad Music Top 20 will be closing Wednesday at Midnight. Instructions on how to do it are on the top of this thread.

And thanks again to everyone who has voted for us (Or will) over there.

Already voted.  Really great job.  Knowing the original Meatloaf song, and liking it, I initially smiled when it started playing and then actually got a bit teary-eyed as it went on.

I just hope the middle part with the "We are Heroes/Villians" got the blood pumping to continue the fight, because that's what I was shooting for. :)

Very nice, lets keep it up there as long as possible:) Just voted again to keep it up top
