Baby Shaft - A Baby Shark Parody


 Share

Recommended Posts

 

For those of you who don't know the world famous Baby Shark song (no, not a nursery rhyme, but a song), here you go:

Spoiler

 

 

 

So, for those of you who do know the legendary song, I'm typing out the lyrics of my parody without the "doo doo doo doo doo doo" for your convenience in the spoiler below:

Spoiler

Baby Shaft

Makes you run

Run away

Safe at last (???)

You stumble

Shaft sees you

Then you're toast

Shaft shoots you

You respawn

Shaft sees you

Then you're toast

Shaft shoots you

You respawn... 

And so on

 

 

You scan the battlefield and find no threat. Except that one Shaft. But hey, it's Mk3, and you're an Mk5 Viking, so no problem. 

 

Baby Shaft

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Baby Shaft

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Baby Shaft

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Baby Shaft !

 

But you're still apprehensive. It may seem like a "baby" Shaft, but it still has the potential to one-shot you. Then you see the kill-feed. That Shaft has got four kills within thirty seconds... You feel like running away, though it may seem cowardly.

 

Makes you run

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Makes you run

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Makes you run

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Makes you run !

 

You cautiously make your way towards that Shaft. But - the Titan right beside you explodes, and a flash of red light leaves you unnerved. You run.

 

Run away

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Run away

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Run away

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Run away !

 

You reach the other end of the map. You think you've escaped danger. You think you're safe.

 

Safe at last (???)

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Safe at last (???)

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Safe at last (???)

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Safe at last (???) !

 

But here comes the laser - blood-red and omnious. You begin to wonder whether you're truly safe. The doubts in you mind intensify as you try to reach a safe spot behind a wall.

You stumble.

 

You stumble

doo doo doo doo doo doo

You stumble

doo doo doo doo doo doo

You stumble

doo doo doo doo doo doo

You stumble !

 

At that moment, you childishly hope that your mistake has gone unnoticed. That your clumsy move was too trivial to attract attention.

Hah, Hope is a fickle friend. 

You have been sighted.

 

Shaft sees you

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Shaft sees you

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Shaft sees you

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Shaft sees you !

 

You glance around your room in despair and desperation. You see your roommate having a piece of toast with some jam. A disturbing thought crosses your mind - you're toast.

 

Then you're toast

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Then you're toast

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Then you're toast

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Then you're toast !

 

Delaying the inevitable? Good luck.

A flash of red light - and your tank closely resembles the rusted "decoy" tank a few meters away. 

 

Shaft shoots you

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Shaft shoots you

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Shaft shoots you

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Shaft shoots you !

 

After a short while, your tank materializes directly in the line of sight of Baby Shaft.

 

You respawn

doo doo doo doo doo doo

You respawn

doo doo doo doo doo doo

You respawn

doo doo doo doo doo doo

You respawn !

 

You curse your luck.

You crave fame and attention, but this is Tanki. Not real life. The one thing you don't want is being seen. Especially by a Shaft.

Needless to say, "Shaft sees you..."

 

Shaft sees you ( :sad: )

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Shaft sees you

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Shaft sees you

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Shaft sees you !

 

Without conscious thought, you find yourself staring at your roommate's toast. The toast gets mutilated by your roommate's incisors in slow motion. With visible effort, you pull yourself back into the computer screen in front of you - back into reality.

Virtual reality. 

 

Then you're toast

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Then you're toast

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Then you're toast

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Then you're toast !

 

You flinch before the laser even touches your tank. The flash of red light that follows makes you jump again. It hurts. As if that laser has pierced through your torso.

 

Shaft shoots you

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Shaft shoots you

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Shaft shoots you

doo doo doo doo doo doo

Shaft shoots you !

 

Your tank's soul flies across the map and back. Your tank materializes. A sense of foreboding grips your heart - 

 

You respawn

doo doo doo doo doo doo

You respawn

doo doo doo doo doo doo

You respawn

doo doo doo doo doo doo

You respawn !

 

You are seen. No matter where your tank respawns, you're seen.

And Death follows you like your shadow.

The Shaft-Cycle, you call it. And like any other cycle, it repeats.

"And so on."

 

And so on

doo doo doo doo doo doo

And so on

doo doo doo doo doo doo

And so on

doo doo doo doo doo doo

And so on !

 

May your tank rest in one piece.

 

 

This piece was inspired by a lot of other people and pieces:

@classic-style-hiphop  - his wonderful usage of the second person POV in his Trials of Heaven series.

@Pythor - he gave some tips to make this piece longer ?...

@Hippin_in_Hawaii - he wrote a beautiful New Year special story, The Night Before , in a similar style (he wrote verse in between the story, while I wrote a story in between "verse").

And Then There Were None - the epic novel by Agatha Christie, which revolves around a nursery rhyme.

And this:

Approved.

This parody infused creativity into the original song, turning it from a song used by the annoying kids in my school to irritate the teachers a few years back to a completely new and much better piece. The toast metaphor was one of my favorites, a true comparison to how annoying it is when there is that one Shaft targeting your back every time you spawn in. However, I noticed that the exclamation marks had a space between the last word and the punctuation across all of the stanzas, so I suppose it is intentional and left it there. Other than that, great work - I can't wait for more!

Wow, thanks!

And yeah those extra spaces before the exclamation marks were intentional, just for aesthetics. Normally I would not put a space between the last word and the punctuation. 

Honestly, it feels great to see this:

I listened to the "And Then There Were None" audiobook last summer. Without a doubt one of the most intriguing and masterfully written mysteries out there. I'd highly recommend it.

Absolutely.

Unfortunately, this parody was about the true Shaftsmen out there: like Akame, and the Mobile Snipers team. Campers and KD conscious Shafts have no place in this parody.

Ok, who wants to do a duet with this song parody? 

Great idea! Count me out tho :ph34r:

Here's the link to Jay's video:

That was my first Agatha Christie read, and it was simply mindblowing. Such an amazing plot! I'd like to recommend it too!

All the more reason why I prefer to hunt them down.

Awesome Venerable! I honestly liked the parody more than the original (I've never listened to the song and yet I prefer yours to the original).

Brilliantly written, this taught me a lot about my victim's final thoughts (except I was the guy with Mk7 Shaft at Third Lieutenant, so no one was thinking "Baby Shaft" ?).

Anyways, since I've never actually heard this song, I was very intrigued to see it at last. And all I gotta say is, there's some hot bass at 1:49 in the video...

 

Fun fact: a prison in Canada (I think?) played Baby Shark over and over in inmates' cells until they were ordered to stop by the courts because it was an "unnecessarily] cruel ... punishment." Yes, that really happened.
