Title: Smells Like Arimaa Spirit!
Post by megajester on Mar 23rd, 2010, 11:22pm
If Kurt Cobain had lived to a ripe old age and discovered Arimaa...

Click here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTWKbfoikeg) and sing along!

Load up the board, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
I saved my dog, got self-assured
But now I've got a ho-o-o-staged

Camel
Camel
Camel
Caaa-mel

Camel
Camel
Camel
Caaa-mel

Camel
Camel
Camel
Caaa-mel

Camel
Camel
Camel...

Now my el'phant's, much less dangerous
Here's his camel, pulled my rabbit
I feel stupid, framed my pieces
Now he's made some, nasty goal threats

How'm I gonna!
Get my moose out!
Now my time has!
Almost run out!
YEA!

Dana dana dum. YEA!
Dana dana dana dana

Dana dana dum. YEA!
Dana dana dana dana...

Dumba da-LING da dana dana dana...

Awesome!!  Maybe we should have a TeamSpeak karaoke night...no, maybe not.  :-[

Here's my attempt at John Lennon's Imagine.

Imagine there's no conflict
It's easy if you try
No traps below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the pieces
Living for today

Imagine there's no factions
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to push or pull for
And no hostages too
Imagine all the creatures
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the Arimaa board will be as one

Imagine no framed pieces
I wonder if you do
No swarms or counter-attacks
A brotherhood of zoo
Imagine all the pieces
Sharing all the board

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the Arimaa board will live as one

I think I'll pitch in with my own version of Yesterday :

Arimaa,
All my troubles seem so far away,
That game looks like it is here to stay,
Oh I believe in Arimaa.

Suddenly,
My dog is not where it used to be,
And my camel is not helping me,
Oh, I see problems suddenly.

Why did
I move that, I don't know, I couldn't say.
I saw,
Something wrong, now I don't know what to play.

Yesterday,
It was such an easy game to play
But I can't make heads or tails today
Oh, I believe in Yesterday.

This is super dorky. Here's Where Have All the Rabbits Gone:

Where have all my rabbits gone?
Long time passing
Where have all my rabbits gone?
Long time ago
Where have all my rabbits gone?
Cats have eaten all but one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all my kitties gone?
Long time passing
Where have all my kitties gone?
Long time ago
Where have all my kitties gone?
Dogs have frozen every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all my doggies gone?
Long time passing
Where have all my doggies gone?
Long time ago
Where have all my doggies gone?
Horses trampled every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all my horses gone?
Long time passing
Where have all my horses gone?
Long time ago
Where have all my horses gone?
A camel pushed them down a hole
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where has my one camel gone?
Long time passing
Where has my one camel gone?
Long time ago
Where has my one camel gone?
Taken hostage in the West
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where has my elephant gone?
Long time passing
Where has my elephant gone?
Long time ago
Where has my elephant gone?
Sacked for rabbit goal in one!
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Wow, you guys are very creative :-) I can't think of anything to add right now, but eventually something will come to me and I'll post it here.

In looking up old postal tournament information I once again came across RonWeasley's "Pinky and the Brain" theme Arimaa rewrite here (http://arimaa.com/arimaa/forum/cgi/YaBB.cgi?board=events;action=display;num=1249656377;start=0#7).

Talking on the phone is not my speed
Don't send me no letter, 'cause I can't read
Don't be long, 'cause I'll be gone
Playing Arimaa all night long

Shiny Happy People by REM required minimal adjustment for Arimaa:

Shiny happy rabbits laughing

Meet me in the crowd, rabbits, rabbits
Throw your love around, love me, love me
Take it into town, happy, happy

Put it in the ground
Where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine...
