Inspired by 372pages.com
OASIS, Halliday,
Big announcement, giveaway,
Planet Earth is in decay
But no one seems to know
Easter Egg, Anorak,
Classic arcade almanac,
Hidden gates, hidden keys,
Gunters on the go
Wade Watts, poverty,
Goods and workers, Mrs. G,
Living in a lightning rod,
By the way: There’s no God
Chat room, Cheshire grin,
“Talkin’ ‘bout Star Wars again?”
I-r0k, smack talk,
Did these people just applaud?
1980s reference!
Everyone has viewed it
So I must include it
1980s reference!
It received attention
So it’s worth a mention
Tomb of Horrors, D&D,
Game of Joust, Copper Key,
Art3mis is blowin’ kisses
But she could be Chuck
Middletown destination,
WarGames movie simulation,
Fans of mindless recitation
Boy, are you in luck!
Chat link, cash bribe,
IOI, evil vibe,
Sux0rz, corporate phonies,
Sorrento likes cajones
Bomb explodes, lump in throat,
Unexpected tragic note,
Trailers frying, people dying,
Think of all the housecoats!
1980s reference!
Simple recognition
Is my only mission
1980s reference!
If it gets a smirk here
Then I’ve done my work here
Samurai, “High Five,”
Gotta run to stay alive,
Cover tracks, get new bio,
Blow “the Stacks” for Ohio
Great Og, birthday bash,
“Groove zone,” party crash,
Broken hearts, mermaid fins,
Oh yeah, R2-D2 spins
Bootsuit, stink tower,
ÜberBetty, cold shower,
Openings to use the can,
“One hell of a rig, man”
Zork house, cellar door,
Labyrinth to explore,
Any tension is destroyed
By monsters you can just avoid
1980s reference!
Hope you’re not begrudging
My incessant nudging
1980s reference!
You’re no longer grinning
Is your patience thinning?
Blade Runner, armed guards,
Writing action scenes is hard,
John Woo, Chow Yun Fat,
Why not just imagine that?
Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee,
Neil Peart, Crystal Key
Guitar hidden in the ground
(Yes, that’s how his name should sound)
Drop cops, cyber bums,
Dude with software in his plums,
When this guy wants to log off
He has to turn his head and cough
1980s reference!
So sometimes I pander
Do you have to slander?
1980s reference!
Come on, don’t diminish it
Until you finish it
Hard time, wage slave,
Prison break, close shave
Sweet freedom, fresh air,
Almost spent a week in there!
Rent a haptic rig ‘til dawn
(Just don’t turn a black light on)
Ogden Morrow, Rivendell,
Aech has come out of her shell
Big battle, final test,
Laser-shooting metal breasts
Johnny Fives, robo-knives
Cataclyst, extra lives
Wade wins, he’s the king
Money will fix everything
First kiss, fade to black
Can I get my pages back?
1980s reference!
Look, this isn’t Shakespeare
So just pump your brakes here
1980s reference!
It’s just a paperback
So could you cut some slack, some slack, some slack, some slack...
1980s reference!
It was “hire an editor”
Or “pay my creditors”
1980s reference!
You should have read the versions
With the ALF discursions
1980s reference!
Didn’t make you buy it
I don’t want a riot
1980s reference!
There’s no need for violence
Could we have have some silence?
1980s reference!
You want some merch, perhaps?
I have these baseball caps
1980s reference!
Take a shirt or twenty
Spielberg gave me plenty...
1980s reference!
Just letting the writer/singer know that this was absolutely hilarious and perfect. I especially lost my shit for the "Artemis is blowing kisses but she could be Chuck". Perfect rhyme, perfect podcast reference.
Haha! Thank you! I’ve got more 372 Pages-themed stuff on my channel
Just started listening to the podcast a few weeks ago - this has to be the single greatest thing to come out of cline's work. I don't care what he does, it's not going to beat this.
Thank you so much! I have more 372 Pages-themed songs on my channel.
Heard it on the podcast, had to come listen again. It’s just so good
I was laughing, then crying, then both. This is art
Okay I still come back for this every now and then and another thing I love is how it starts as a "fan song", or if someone doesn't know about 372 pages and are RP1 fans could probably enjoy this until they're hit with the ending
Thank you so much!
I sing this to myself so often, but it's so specific to explain to people. Love it.
Haha! I know the feeling… Glad you like it! I have more 372 Pages-related stuff on my channel
Thank you, everyone, for your kind comments! I have more 372-related songs on my channel if you are interested...
I love this one. Hope someone makes a music video of this with the film
This is great
Absolutely spot on
AMAZING
Brilliant work. Thanks for the laughs.
You’re welcome! I’ve got more on my channel
