    BUG'S SONG
    Matt's Challenge: TV Theme song
    Title: Kick and Spin
    Lyrics:
    Do you ever feel like a lil guy?
    like you have no control but somehow you’re still synchronized
    cuz life keeps spinnin’, spinnin’
    and you keep kickin’, kickin’
    mostly due to the metal rod thats going through your torso thats attached to three other dudes
    It’s Foosball!
    It don’t matter if you win
    all we do is kick and spin
    but mostly kick (but mostly spin)
    Try to pass to the goalie and you score on yourself
    try to pass up the field, oh no you scored on yourself
    then you finally score a goal but it ricochets off and you score on yourself
    It’s Foosball!
    It don’t matter if you win
    all we do is kick and spin
    but mostly kick (but mostly spin)
    Oh hey, didn’t see you there
    you’re probably wondering how I got here
    strapped to these three other dudes
    trapped in a perpetual game of soccer against
    different colored but functionally identical opponents
    Spinning clockwise into infinity forever… well…
    A witch trapped my soul in here, I used to be a lawyer, tell my wife I love her
    It’s foosball!
    where nobody has a name
    where it's just a silly game
    where we kick and spin all day
    It’s Foosball!
    It don’t matter if you win
    all we do is kick and spin
    but mostly kick (but mostly spin)
    Kick and Spin was taped in front of a studio audience of weird faceless mannequins
    starring Kickolas Cage and John Kraspinski

    MATT'S SONG
    (Lady)Bug's Challenge: The Alpaca Can't see over the fence (and also, the alpaca can't jump)
    Title: The Alpaca Song
    Lyrics:
    the alpaca can't see over the fence
    the alpaca can't see over the fence
    the alpaca can't see but he can hear all of his friends
    the alpaca can't see over the fence
    he could go over it
    ALPACAS CAN'T JUMP
    go under it
    ALPACAS CAN'T DIG
    go through it
    ALPACAS AREN'T GHOSTS
    go round it
    UNFORTUNATELY THE FENCE IS
    SURROUNDING THE ALPACA ON ALL SIDES
    he could open the gate
    THE GATE IS LOCKED
    he could unlock the gate
    HE DOESN'T HAVE A KEY
    he could pick the lock
    PICK IT WITH WHAT
    a stalk of hay
    THAT WAS A RHETORICAL QUESTION,
    ALPACAS CAN'T PICK LOCKS THEY DON'T HAVE THUMBS
    he could eat the fence
    WAIT THAT'S NOT A BAD IDEA
    try to eat the fence
    HE'S EATING THE FENCE!
    oh wow it's working!
    OH NO IT'S NOT
    why what happened
    NOTHING IN PARTICULAR IT'S JUST THAT THERE IS A LOT OF FENCE
    he could burn the fence
    I said he could burn the fence
    YEAH I HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME
    WHY DO YOU THINK HE'S LOCKED IN HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE
    chorus
    he could fake his death
    OKAY
    scream for help
    OKAY
    and when his friends come
    MHM
    they'll see him lying on the floor
    ALRIGHT
    he'll be covered in blood
    WHERE'D HE GET THE BLOOD
    the blood is from the farmer
    OH MY GOD
    and then when the gate is open
    BURN THE FARM DOWN
    it's working, it's working
    they're coming to help him
    the blood is convincing
    they're opening the gate
    they're sensed his trickery
    but it's too late
    the alpaca is free
    the alpaca is freee
    he tries to start a fire
    but the farmer's not dead!
    they're fighting, they're fighting!
    he calls to his friends
    the ones he betrayed
    they won't save him
    he only has once chance
    he strikes a match
    he tosses it
    into the hay
    the alpaca has gotten his revenge
