PAX Tribute - Billionaire Song Remake

edited August 2010 in PAX Archive
Hey Paxers, I got a few of my friends together and we made a Penny Arcade Expo tribute. It's nothing super special but it was fun putting it together.

The lead vocals were done by Kat, you may know her as Harleyquin / Joanna Dark/ Pandora from previous PAX's. The beat was done by Tdub731 he makes 8-bit music. I'm doing rap vocals in the middle. The original "Billionaire" song was by Travis Mccoy.

Click the spoiler for the video, mp3 and the lyrics.
Don't hate we did this for fun.

LYRICS:
I wanna be at Penny Arcade so frickin' bad
Play all the games I'll someday have
I wanna be on the cover of Gamer Informer magazine
smiling there you'll see Wil Wheaton and me

Oh every time I close my eyes
I see the expo hall and all the lights- yeeeah
new and improved- this year! oh iiii
i swear - seattle be prepared!
for when i'm at pax this year!

Call us the cult of P.A. !
Play games like all day !
High scores up in our holster
So we can boast about our hobby
Enforcers shouting "mayday" !
When they see this epic party

It's a zerg rush
hot and sweaty like a nerd crush
like this town's never heard us !

Our bags are stuffed, backpacked enough?
15 shirts ain't grabbed enough !
Got friends from all ends of the world,
takin' shots with cosplay girls

I find myself in a lucid dream, with Mario and Chief
High on games in a PAX panel, this hall I'll never leave
Gabe n' Tycho, Khoo and the crew,I'll say this from my heart
You built an expo I dream about, my love will never part.
But when I do leave this place, I'll grab all the swag I can
I need souvenirs from my memories and not for ebay man

Oh every time I close my eyes
I see the expo hall and all the lights- yeeeah
new and improved- this year! oh iiii
i swear - seattle be prepared!
for when i'm at pax this year!

Hey Kat, how bout you tell 'em your story.

There was a time I was hit on by Wil Wheaton
My heart skipped a beat, and then I got my geek on
A big shout out to rockstar Johnny Nero
He conducts PAX flashmobs, dude- you're my hero!

I was given a memo, bad horse sent me a sung warning
Last year, we were boo ghosts in haunting and in mourning
Last year, I went home with more than I had expected
a day later went to the Dr. and was told I was infected

Don't be afraid, play it safe, just be educated,
PAX is a land where we keep it nerd related !

    I seriously got a big goofy-ass grin on my face, then I got teary eyed cuz I miss PAX.

    Then I saw we have a little over 2 weeks left, and I sucked my shit up and got srs.

    We both just used basic mics. In fact I used my Rock Band usb mic. So the sound isn't perfect.
    We had this idea for a few days and just had to put it together. Thanks for checking it out!

    It was a great cover, but my pure seething hatred for the original gets in the way a little.

    still good job guys.
