(TUNE: “Heaven Is A Place On Earth”, Belinda Carlisle)
[CHORUS:]
Ooh, how we’re hating joy and mirth!
We’re gonna make a hell on Earth!
Your life, to us folks, has no worth!
We’ll bring a slice of hell to Earth!
We’re gonna make a hell on Earth!
Time to go, good-bye!
The buffet had so
Many kinds of pie!
Sharing simple joys
With the Akron folks
And their girls and boys!
Sapients should all know this,
It’s such a scene of bucolic bliss!
In the church’s recreation hall …
But some villains there, they say “Damn it all!” [repeat CHORUS]
If we start from here,
Then it won’t take much
To sow pain and fear!
‘Cause I’ve had an urge,
Since I woke today,
To blow up a church!
We’ve got grenades, and guns to launch them!
We’ll give them wounds, and they can’t staunch them!
Here is the church, and here’s the steeple …
Blow down the doors, and slaughter people! [repeat CHORUS]
I’m eagerly awaiting the possibility of buying a CD with a bunch of his filks. Someone needs to convince a decent cover band to Kickstart the Skin Horse Soundtrack.
A Mad Scientist doing good deeds?
Well we just won’t stand for that!
Well, even a broken time machine is right twice a day!

Ed, I keep having to say that this one may be your best yet, but this one may be your best yet. Besides, I love the song.

Aside from the huge difficulty because of copyright, I’d go for JoCo or The dittybops.
Jake? Elwood? Put the band back together? Hmm… seems to fit well with wanton destruction.
So maybe Sweetheart and Moustachio can piggyback on *their* rampage…
Oh crud!
Just like I always said. “Twelve people sing us a song about life while number thirteen blows them away.”
What a coincidence! I’m watching Selma tonight! 😛
‘The Midwest is its own place, and in it self / Can make a Heav’n of Hell, a Hell of Heav’n.’
I like the way Sweetheart’s human hair still looks like her dog tail. Did someone already point that out?
No matter, it bears pointing out again.
Are these anyone we know?
Unless I’m mistaken, that’s the Institute mucky-muck we saw when Tigerlily Jones was introduced, and good ol’ Echo Bravo.
By George, I think you’ve got it: 2014-11-06.
Wow, well spotted!
1. Is this supposed to be a capture, a discreditation of a seemingly benign madgirl, or an assassination?
2. Where do they get the ammo? The Institute has to remain an asylum at least in seeming, so there can’t be an arsenal lying around.
It’s A-Sig. I’m surprised that’s ALL they have.
As did we all, random dead-eyed man, as did we all.
…I gotta ask, does Institute Woman think she’s any better than any of her inmates in any way?
(Also, does she have a name?)
Does she think she is? Most likely yes.
*Is* she? Now that isn’t quite so clear cut.
