Hey…
Our team (007) just competed in Duel on the Delaware on Saturday, and my good old buddy Dori Plait and I thought it would be cool to start a little robot anthem. We decided that our tune would be put to that “Milkshake” song, and it goes a little something like this:
"Our robot brings all the geeks to the yard, and they’re like you wanna trade parts? D* right we wanna trade parts…"**
**It’s unfinished, and we just wanted to see what you guys could come up with as a last line for the song. Any suggestions?
So I’ve been working on this essay for my lit class for the last four hours. Needless to say, I’m a little bored sooooo I give you - the revised lyrics to “Milkshake”
Our robot brings all the geeks to the yard,
And they're like, “you wanna trade parts?”
“D*** right we wanna trade parts…
Go get them – they’re in our cart” ….. x2
We know you want it
The thing that makes all
The robots go ‘round the field
Don’t lose your mind
Just give it time
Your bot will climb
Lalalalala turn it on
Lalalalala the refs are waiting ….. x2
Our robot brings all the geeks to the yard,
And they're like, “you wanna trade parts?”
“D*** right we wanna trade parts…
Go get them – they’re in our cart” ….. x2
Thought that you were sane ‘til
You wanted to teach the
Rookies to use the “mill-drill”
It can be taught
Just please don’t get caught
Watch if you’re smart
Lalalalala turn it on
Lalalalala the refs are waiting ….. x2
Our robot brings all the geeks to the yard,
And they're like, “you wanna trade parts?”
“D*** right we wanna trade parts…
Go get them – they’re in our cart” ….. x2
Oh once you get involved
You won’t sleep another full night
‘Til after your last flight
Back from Championships
Just try to get through it
It’s worth it in the end
Maybe you’ll even meet
Baker or JVN
Lalalalala turn it on
Lalalalala the refs are waiting ….. x2
Our robot brings all the geeks to the yard,
And they're like, “you wanna trade parts?”
“D*** right we wanna trade parts…
Go get them – they’re in our cart” ….. x2
Thanks for the break! Back to my feminism essay…
Katie…you’re a saint. Thanks much! I hope we get more responses to this because then we can possibly do a poll on whose to vote for, and pick the best Robotics Anthem! =D Yours rock though! YAY for Katie’s creativeness. =)
:sigh: I hate that song.
Not yours Katie (Cool words) - The original - Hate the original.
to AC/DC’s “You Shook Me All Night Long”
it was a fast machine
we kept ‘er motors clean
was the best darn robot that I’d ever seen
we had ‘er hanging high
the gold was in sight
our driver was doing almost everything right
the next match was coming
we were all gunnin’
we all thought that your teammates were just bluffin’
the buzzer was ringin’
our ears were singin’
our bot was blingin’
we knew what we were bringin’
but then you… pinned us all match long
yeah you… pinned us all match long
we worked double time
but we only had five
worried our gearbox had too much of your jive
we were flingin’ parts
off our robot carts
runnin’ out for more zipties at the local walmart
had to cool it down
for another round
now we’re back on the field to take another swing
because the buzzer was ringin’
our ears were singin’
our bot was blingin’
we knew what we were bringin’
but you… blocked us all match long
yeah you… pinned us all match long
every ten seconds, yeah
you… blocked us all match long
yeah you blocked me…
out of my way!
you… blocked us all match long…
(repeat until ending)
to Maroon 5’s “This Love”
I joined my team way back in '96
Hexagon Havoc was a hit
I was hooked - that was the end of it
I graduated back in '98
Ladder Logic set my fate
I knew in FIRST that I’d be great
oh - But this bot has taken it’s toll on me
Can’t sleep at night, but I lose my energy
and the drills are fried to crisp but I
can’t go to bed, it’s only four more days until we ship… whoa oh oh
I burned out way back in my college days
Zone Zeal’s bot had left me crazed
Beatty walking had left me amazed…
I don’t think I can handle anymore
I haven’t walked through my front door
Since Build Season, around week 4
and oh - But this bot has taken it’s toll on me
Can’t sleep at night, but I lose my energy
gear boxes fried to crisp but I
can’t go to bed, it’s only four more days until we ship… whoa oh oh
I’ll fix these broken things
Repair our broken wings
And make sure everything’s alright (it’s alright)
The pressured air pump leaks
And all the casters squeak
And every inch of it
Is off by tiny random measurements, but…
But this bot has taken it’s toll on me
Can’t sleep at night, but I lose my energy
elec-tron-ics fried to crisp but I
can’t go to bed, it’s only four more days until we ship… whoa oh oh
oh - But this bot is taking it’s toll on me
designing gone wrong, I’m on the phone Johnny V
I get moral support from David Kelly
and in the mail, I get Krispy Kremes from Dave Lavery…
(note: I was scheduled to sing this at the IRI Talent Show this year, but chickened out.)
Apparently, the rookies of 237 created a team song a few years back.

That’s actually on our original site too… which surprising still exists. :ahh:
Also, we have a team dance… called the “Happy Dance” it’s done to the song The Bad Touch by the Bloodhound Gang (or any 4 beat song, but it started with The Bad Touch).
By the way, The Bad touch is also known as the Discovery Channel song… just cause of some of the lyrics (not anyway affiliated with The Discovery Channel) I don’t think…
Oh man, I will totally sing this!!! I love it! AC/DC makes me smile
.
I just sang it and I so love it! I’m gonna be memorizing this one…=D
