So, for years I've had this dream of creating a wizard rock band, only a) I don't play any instruments, b) I can't sing, and c) I can't write songs. Only really, not many people in wrock bands can sing, or write songs, and they're still amazing. This took three days, and it's my first attempt at anything like this, so it's not brilliant. Constructive criticism is welcome but please no flames.
This song was inspired by my favourite Wizard Rock songs:
Draco and the Malfoys - 99 Death Eaters
Draco and the Malfoys - My Dad is Rich
The Moaning Myrtles - And Then I Died
The Moaning Myrtles - Prefects are Hot
The Whomping Willows - House of Awesome Theme Song
The Parselmouths - What Kind Of Name Is Hermione?
Lumos Flies (a parody of Fireflies by Owl City)
Disclaimer: I own this song but I don't own the Sorting Hat, the four Houses, the Wronski Feint or Harry Potter. They all belong to the wonderful JKR.
Lyrics
Eleven years old, I'm standing tall
In the famous, vast Great Hall
Ain't wrestling a troll or a Hebridean Black
Just trying on an old hat.
Oh, Sorting Hat, can you read my mind?
Where's the proof that you'll be right?
Do you care if we disagree
About in which House I ought to be?
I should feel fine
But how do I know you won't spill my secrets to the next kid in line?
Gryffindor's for rule-breakers, Slytherin's for evil
Hufflepuff's for rejects, Ravenclaw's for know-it-alls
McGonagall calls my name and now you're on my head
Is it too late to go back to London instead?
Oh, Sorting Hat, can you read my mind?
Where's the proof that you'll be right?
Do you care if we disagree
About in which House I ought to be?
I should feel fine
But how do I know you won't spill my secrets to the next kid in line?
Gryffindor's for rule-breakers, Slytherin's for evil
Hufflepuff's for rejects, Ravenclaw's for know-it-alls
I'm scared of a hat so I'm not Gryffindor
Don't know how it works so I'm not Ravenclaw
I'm not a loser so Hufflepuff I won't be in
Only one option left and that's Slytherin
Only one option left and that's SLYTHERIN...
Oh, Sorting Hat, can you read my mind?
Where's the proof that you'll be right?
Do you care if we disagree
About in which House I ought to be?
I should feel fine
But how do I know you won't spill my secrets to the next kid in line?
I should feel fine
But how do I know you won't
Spill my secrets... to the next kid in line?
Actually, it's not that bad. The lyrics are really good. Though not everyone in Slytherin is evil. If you really want to start a band, try getting some lessons and maybe find a friend who can plan piano...this song seems like it need piano and/or strings (which can be played on the keyboard obviously.) So if you really want this, you should try! :)
