I would prefer a whole song, but as many verses as you can

If you could say original song and artist too..that would be helpful

Do we have to perform it, or is writing it well enough?

If you need inspiration (Notorious BIG) I love it when you call me Jeff Chandler.

writing is fine. I have asked someone with musical talent to perform the winner

I am still working on the last verse (got busy with work and couldn't finish) but here is a tease.

True Dungeon, sharp puzzles to beat
True Dungeon, seven room to complete
True Dungeon, Don’t know what to do
You're not a sleuth
Good rogues will take get the clue
Heresy!

EDIT: I have 1 verse left to do but it will probably not happen till tomorrow.

Warning this is not good, but it is first so that is something. It is to the tune of Roy Orbison's Pretty Woman and depends on True being sung as 2 syllables.

True Dungeon, sharp puzzle to beat
True Dungeon, seven room to complete
True Dungeon, Don’t know what to do
You're not a sleuth
Good rogues will take get the clue
Heresy!

True Dungeon, teamwork is the key
True Dungeon, sometimes you’ll disagree
True Dungeon, wicked monsters you will see
Have a token spending spree
Rwar-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r

True Dungeon, foes hostile
True Dungeon, tokens pile
True Dungeon, having fun guarantee

True Dungeon, yeah, yeah, yeah
True Dungeon, play today
True Dungeon, DM is referee

Many monsters slew
Rooms are a sight
lots of coins, maybe
please leave your light

True Dungeon, suspicious ally
True Dungeon, don't let them die
True Dungeon, lots of replay, hey
Okay
Are you wantting to play today

Puzzles, traps, and creatures, await
Fun and adventure is so great
This tip is free
‘Fore you start make sure you pee
Yeah, this advice take from me
Oh, oh, True Dungeon

Cool song Jedibcg!

Here's my entry: Token Man but spelled TokenMon to emphasize how it's pronounced.

TokenMon
Filked Lyrics: Andy Strassmann
To the tune of “Pokémon (Gotta catch ‘em all)”

I want to be the very best
Like no one ever was
The boss foe is my big test
And tokens aid my cause
I will travel from con to con
Adventuring far and wide
With token guides to understand
The buffs that they provide

TokenMon!
Gotta get 'em all (It's you and me)
I know it’s my destiny
TokenMon
Here’s plus 5 to your hit points, friend
For our run we must defend
TokenMon!
Gotta get 'em all (A heart so true)
Tokens and tactics will pull us through
You loan to me and I'll loan to you
TokenMon
Gotta get 'em all
Gotta get 'em all
Yeah

Every transmute along the way’s
A challenge I will face
Shops and auctions and my own loot
‘Till all parts are in their place
Come with me the time is right
There's no better game
Puzzles and monsters with new-found friends
You’ll never be the same

TokenMon!
Gotta get 'em all (It's you and me)
I know it’s my destiny
TokenMon
Here’s plus 5 to your hit points, friend
For our run we must defend
TokenMon!
Gotta get 'em all (A heart so true)
Tokens and tactics will pull us through
You loan to me and I'll loan to you
TokenMon
Gotta get 'em all
Gotta get 'em all
TokenMon!

This was actually pretty damn fun thx Laz.

Song – GM (sung to the tune of Roxanne by The Police)

GM
Any chance you’ll lend me a flashlight
I lost a token
slid to hard I know it wasn’t very bright
GM
You don’t have to laugh at me tonight
It’s not very funny
please put this room on hold or stop this fight

GM
Could you just lend me a flashlight
GM
Please won’t you just lend me a flashlight

(GM Lend me a flashlight
(GM) I’m dying of pure fright
(GM) This isn’t quite right
(GM) Freak out I just might
(GM) lend me a flashlight, bro

I loved you when I drew you
the treasure chest will screw you
Thought at first that you were not real.
But now you are my pride and joy
I know my slide was messed up
And there’s all the time it took up
Almost sold you won’t try that again
Your best in slot

GM
Any chance you’ll lend me a flashlight
GM
Can we just forget this whole night

(GM) Any chance you’ll lend me a flashlight
(GM) Lend me a flashlight
(GM) I’m dying of pure fright
(GM) This isn’t quite right
(GM) Freak out I just might
(GM) Just lend me a flashlight
(GM) I’m dying of pure fright
(GM) This isn’t quite right
(GM) Freak out I just might
(GM) Just lend me a flashlight
(GM) Come on won’t you lend me a flashlight
(GM) Come on won’t you lend me a flashlight
(Repeat and fade)

So after I emailed my song to Lazlo, I saw that everyone is posting theirs to the thread. So here goes....

True Dungeon Man -- Sung to the tune of Piano Man by Billy Joel

It’s 9am Gen Con Saturday
As the True Dungeon crowd rushes in
There’s an old time gamer sittin’ next to me
He’s waiting for the room coach to begin
He says: Son, have you played the TD game before?”
I say, I’m not really sure how this one goes
I’ve played RPG’s galore and I’m really hardcore
I follow Gygax, but I’m new to these shows

Lori-la-la de-de da
Lori-la de-de da da-da-da

Tell me of your game Mr.True Dungeon Man
I’d like to learn how to play by tonight
I’m really in the mood for some hack and slash
And you’re holding that fistful of tokens really tight

Now Drugar at the players bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my blue milk for free
He’s quick with a quote or the breaching of a moat
But he’d rather be on a character run with Fiddy
He says, Jeff these rules questions are killing me
As a smile suddenly came across his face
Well I’m sure that I would have more time to play the game
Right after I create the Token Data Base

Lori-la-la de-de da
Lori-la de-de da da-da-da

Now Lazlo is a long time True Dungeon player
Rumor is he met his wife on a run
He’s over there talking to Lori Martin, because she is the smart-one
Killing time before he starts his fun
Now the key to the game is pick your character
There are 10 of those from which to choose
Make sure that you get one with a lot of hit points
Or else, I’m sure you will probably loose

Tell me of your game Mr.True Dungeon Man
I’m itchin how to play alright
I’m really intrigued how you slide
And you’re holding those tokens really tight

So you’re playing it safe with a fighter
The next are your character tokens to arrange
Armor, Weapons and Beads, Ioun Stones, Charms and Greaves
Ultra Rare from Trents Tokens, they are insane
And you step to the table and then you slide
Just as fast, you move out of the way
You get back in the line, for you are soon out of time
As the corner lights and music starts to play

Oh Lori-la-la de-de da
Lori-la de-de da da-da-da

Tell me of your game O-Great True Dungeon Man
I’m playing with Jeff Martin tonight
I see low light levels in the rooms
And now I know why you hold those tokens really tight

one song sent. cheesy kid song

I'm glad the deadline is out a ways. I've been having one kick around off and on in my head for years and this gives me a good reason to buckle down and finish it lol

i have decided to do a bracket for the song parody contest. It will be voted on each day. winner advances. I have some people that want to stay anonymous (at least until they win or are voted out) . I will post each one with the new lyrics and a link to youtube video of the original song. This will be done on Facebook
