Sqrlmog tries her hand at songwriting!

I've been listening to a lot of ridiculous metal lately, thank you Spotify and Gloryhammer and etc etc.

In the shower tonight, I started humming a bit, and thinking back about E3 I decided to put a few words to the tune.

Din-o-saurs.
Din-o-saurs-with!
Dino-o-saurs-with-LASER-BEAMS...

The thought stuck with me as I got out of the shower, and I finally decided... what the heck, let's write it down.

So I did. )

I think the scansion is all over the place because I wasn't working to an actual tune. Probably I would have to mangle and rewrite that if I were trying to formalize it. But it's good off the cuff.

I dunno. A few dozen more and maybe I've got concept album material.

[EDIT: If you want this concept played totally 100% straight with songs about dinosaurs fighting to protect the holy land, an actual metal band has you covered.]

[RETURN OF EDIT: A single minute of singing and my voice has gone all squeedlie. I think I tense my throat too much and put my uvula between my vocal cords or something. I know I do SOMETHING with my uvula that isn't supposed to be done with the poor fleshbag. It tickles.]
