TrumpetVinny Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) It's late. I was reading and for some reason the song California Gurls came into my head only replaced with California Corps. I was amused and started thinking about lyrics and I had filled in so many lines I managed to change that atrocious song into an atrocious song with interesting lyrics. Only really references Blue Devils and SCV (And yes I have my little jabs at Blue Devils but I mean no offense to them) but that's only because of a lack of lyric room. So yeah. A random New Years fueled parody of Katy Perry's California Gurls. Yeah. I'm weird. (And that rapping part was actually really irritating to do) To Blue Devils, SCV, Pacific Crest, and the Mandarins (California Corps) I know a corps, Where the drill is really cleaner. Tall, loud, and proud, They have a sound like no other Mirrors, chairs, and more As they change the face of drum corps (playing) Corps break their legs Tryin’ to beat them at marching (in step) They travel the world But nothing matters as long as they get gold Once they go on the field Judges fall in love (oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) California corps, they’re unforgettable Bibbers and coats with plumes on top A sun-kissed sound so hot, they’ll melt your face off (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh) (oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) California corps they’re undeniable Championships are a lock, West coast represent, now put your horns up (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh) (oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) Vanguard’s cymbal V And fans cheer a little louder They sleep, on a bus Because soon they’ll do the Viper They travel the world But nothing matters but tradition Once they go on the field Fans be falling in love (oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) California corps, they’re unforgettable Bibbers and coats with plumes on top A sun-kissed sound so hot, they’ll melt your face off (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh) (oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) California corps they’re undeniable Championships are a lock, West coast represent, now put your horns up (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh) (oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) Tuned, tanned, fit, and ready Sound real good and march real steady. Loud, proud west coast, These the corps I love the most I mean the ones, Like champions, Blow it, beat it, play that drum That corps a freak, They keep that beat with their feet No way, they love to play Work all day, better than okay Here at Indy, marching Summer time is everything! This corps be playing out All them corps be hanging out Sabres like lasers, hard labor, you savor Corps and drum major, My four corps (Yeah?) Keep doing more (uh, huh) I cheer for ya, Cause you representing California (oh yeah)! California corps, they’re unforgettable Bibbers and coats with plumes on top A sun-kissed sound so hot, they’ll melt your face off (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh) (oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) California corps they’re undeniable Championships are a lock, West coast represent, now put your horns up (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh) (oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) Edited January 3, 2011 by TrumpetVinny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan9 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) Well done! High speed, low drag! Now we need songs with new lyrics that represent the other corps. Sounds like a neat winter project. BTW, "A sun-kissed sound so hot, they’ll melt your face off", great line!

BRASSO Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) I'm not a fan of rap... but's here's a Beachboys Classic from " California Girls " to sing along with : " West Cost Corps are hip, I really dig those styles they wear. And the Southern Corps with the way they talk, they knock me out when I'm down there. The midwest farmers daughters Corps, really makes you feel alright, and the northern Corps with the way they play, they keep their boyfriends ( girlfriends ) warm at night. I wish they all could be California... I wish they all could be California... I wish they all could be California... Corps " Edited January 1, 2011 by BRASSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetVinny Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 Now imagine the music video with all the people wearing their full uniform which covers every inch of their bodies. Kinda like an anti-Katy Perry look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence Downs Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Nice dude. I marched Mandarins this past year, and am hoping to make SCV this year, so no matter what I'll be marching a California corps. Thanks for the post, and I'm glad you mentioned Pacific Crest and Mandarins because with SCV and BD in the same state, it seems these 2 corps get overlooked.

Dmlkmen Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Put something in there about "inflation" and "we're all about the early season" ...and it could be a Weird Al parody. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
