For those interested, work on the Rage is coming along. Part Five
will be out soon. As I was listening to the Offspring CD, Smash, a thought
occurred for this filk. Hope you like it.
Akane Tendo singing the Offspring song, Bad Habit
[Scene of Akane on the couch]
Hey, man, you know, I'm really okay...
The mallet in my hand, will tell you the same...
But when I'm doing the Art, don't give me no crap
Cause the slightest thing and I just might snap!
[All instruments join in. Scene of Akane and Ranma in the dojo]
When I am training, Ranma's a pain!
And when I can't hit him, it makes me insane!
Open the vortex, reach inside
Gonna pummell Ranma's hide
[Ranma flying into LEO]
Cause I got a bad habit!
Of smacking away!
[Kasumi and Nabiki:] Yeah! Yeah!
Got a bad habit!
Ranma's goin' away!
[Kasumi and Nabiki:] Yeah! Yeah!
[Instrumental. Switch to scene of Furinkan High's front yard crowded
with boys]
They say the school's a dangerous place!
If Kuno hits on me, I'll whap him in his face!
He acts like an ass, thinks it's the past,
But my mallet will stop him fast
[Kuno in LEO]
Cause I got a bad habit!
Of smacking away!
[Hiroshi and Daisuke:] Yeah! Yeah!
Got a bad habit!
Knocked Kuno away!
[Hiroshi and Daisuke:] Yeah! Yeah!
[Scene of Akane holding her mallet]
Boys are so rude!
Such attitudes!
But when I show my piece
They all cease!
Something's wrong,
Been at it too long
You baka, hentai, yowai, Burakumin!
Open the vortex
Reach inside
Gonna slam this hentai's hide
Cause I got a bad habit!
Of smacking away
[Ranma and Ryoga:] Yeah! Yeah!
Got a bad habit!
And it's here to stay!
[Ranma and Ryoga:] Yeah! Yeah!
AUTHOR'S NOTES:
Okay, you can put down the torches and pitchforks now. C'mon, put
'em down. Please?
Seriously, this is my first crack at a filk, and it was done in
about twenty odd (VERY odd) minutes. I tried my best to keep it in rhythm to
the actual song, which is what's behind the Burakumin bit. It's the only
derrogatory remark in Japanese I knew that would fit in there. And I'm none
too clear on how to spell weak in Romanji, either. Lastly, the vortex
referrs to the ever-vaunted Hammerspace. I had to have something to fit in
with the song, after all...
Working on Rage,
