The Modders' Theme Song

[Shadowhawk827]

I got the original Toby Keith song stuck in my head the other night when I was up crazy late modding, and, being just a tad eccentric as well as sleep deprived, my mind immediately switched the wording of the line that's in my signature.  Well...  I decided to go the whole 9 yards and actually finish the lyrics just for fun. 

 

I used to stay up late, in the CK till noon
Making werewolves howling at the moon
Players are mad as a troll in a pen,

posting all night wonderin' where the update's been
I'd post for help and say come help me buddy
They laughed out loud, I guess they thought it was funny
I sobered up, and I got to thinkin'
Modding ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'

 

Now I'm buildin' a house, and I'm mendin' the quest
I guess I done gone and lost all my good sense
Too much work is hard for your health
I could've died playing, now I'm killing myself
Now I'm checkin the log, trackin' the crash
It's hey you add this, hey you fix that
I sobered up, and I got to thinkin'
Modding ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'

 

Now I'm fixin' the script and I'm adding a class
They made me a list and I'm bustin' my... Weeell
All broke down, fixing this dragon
It's a tough ol' life, redoing this wagon
Now I'm checkin' the log, trackin' the crash
It's hey you add this, hey you fix that
I sobered up, and I got to thinkin'
Modding ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'
Yeah, I sobered up, and I got to thinkin'
Moddin' ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'

 

 

For those who aren't just a lil bit redneck like me, here's the original for y'all so you know how it goes:

 

 

 

 

And just for the record, speaking for myself and I'd bet most other modders, we gripe about the bad mud users but we really appreciate the good ones.  This song is all just in fun also.

sorry if the meter's a little off:

 

Hitting the save, pray it compiles
It was a simple idea, now there's hundreds of files
Don't mind the work, but does it have to be me
to hold people's hand, "how do I... NVSE?"
I know there's a bug, relax and don't boo
sorry to ruin a 100-hour playthrough
All I can say is I feel some envy
For 2 years straight all I've seen is CG

Nice

This is relevent. *searches for the booze*

anything to get off doing any real work:

 

so gimme a break, don't shout and don't spit,
don't ask me if I even bother to test this shit
there's more to life, I don't want my memorial
to read "well at least he could write a tutorial"
c'mon guys, you can share my dismay
I'm putting all this under CC-SA
Just post me a damn log, it's all I can use,
did we mention the weed when we swore off the booze?

All these modders here and nobody else thought this was funny, huh?

This song seems all the more appropriate after a two day marathon modding session to finish the latest edition of Dawnguard Sentries...

 

What was the only comment I got about the new edition on Nexus?  A well meaning but confused jabroney telling me he was told it wasn't safe to do a clean save to uninstall and upgrade a mod.

 

*headdesk*

 

It's so tragic, it's actually funny.
