about

I wrote the lyrics for this ode to LAN parties in the car with my spouse, Richard, and his brother, Robert, who are both huge nerds

lyrics

La da deedle la da dum, la da deedle la da dum
La da do rye diddly aye-ay!
La da deedle la da dum, la da deedle la da dum
La da do rye diddly aye-ay!

The grass may grow and the waters flow
But we don't go out for days
'Cause I've got enough of the fine old stuff
That fuels me day to day
Come gamers all, from Duty's Call
Skyrim and Halo too
Give noobs the slip and we'll take a sip
Of the rare old Mtn Dew

La da deedle la da dum, la da deedle la da dum
La da do rye diddly aye-ay!
La da deedle la da dum, la da deedle la da dum
La da do rye diddly aye-ay!

There's a magic place in this meat space
Where the lag spikes are profound
But we frag and slay both night and day
And the head shots do abound
So my car I pack with games and snacks
A combo tried and true
To the LAN I roll with a Cheetos bowl
And a bucket full of Mtn Dew

Now the uber-leet who use Teamspeak
Your praises have relayed
You sweet caffeine in glowing green
From orange and sugar made
Throw out that speed, this is all you need
Even if you whine Q Q
Stay up all night 'til the morning's light
With the rare old Mountain Dew

La da deedle la da dum, la da deedle la da dum
La da do rye diddly aye-ay!
La da deedle la da dum, la da deedle la da dum
La da do rye diddly aye-ay!

Mountain Dew all night and day!

Tune: traditional
New lyrics by Metricula, Richard McLane, and Robert McLane

History Lesson: The Irish drinking song "Mountain Dew," is often sung to the tune of "The Girl I Left Behind," a melody that dates back to Elizabethan England. The version I'm most familiar with was printed in "Irish Street Ballads" in 1916, with lyrics that were probably penned by Ed Harrington. It's entry 938 in the Roud Folksong Index.
