results [Results] Tanki's Got Talent: Song Parody Contest

[Person_Random 4,991]

Our huge emergency has (hopefully) been resolved - and we have some winners to award!

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It goes without saying that we received a lot of top-notch entries, and it was a very difficult decision to choose the top three winners. But here they are:

In first place, we have Newspaper Challenge expert @chinufire1, who wrote a clean rendition of "Levitating". Follow along to the seamless parody here:

Spoiler

If you wanna group with me, I know a team, 
and we can try can and catch some wins
I paid for some upgrades to speed up the time 
and now I got maxed out twins
Gold box in the sky, hopper on the fly
killing them the way I like
If you want 'em dead, I can kill 'em with my twins
me and you can get some kills

Golds want me, I want you gold box
my own 1k, I'm celebrating
decorations, we're parading 
oh-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

I killed hopper, its your gold
I'm your sidekick, let's hunt them together
we're celebratin' 
You cap flag, I help you (let's help our team )
I need you, to heal me, come attack lets run
I'm panicking

chinu and chinu, I can feel the chemistry
I see us gettin' top of the 'board
We can play wherever, the duo is forever
Nothing is out of reach
chinu getting kills, chinu showing skills
thats just the the way we play
speeding with crisis, leaving just a shadow
enemies got nothing to say

 

 

Our runner-up has to be readyfireaim, who broke through with the cool classic "I'm Still Standing" turned Tanki. Take a look at the new lyrics here:

Spoiler

You Legends don't know what it's like
Your tank on fire, you want some ice
And there's an explosion light that shines from you
You'll wind up a wreck of metal with depressing brown hues

And did you think this augment could never win?
Well look at it, it's coming back again
I got a taste of heat in a painful way
And if you need to know when I'm destroyed my tank just fades away

Don't you know he's still shooting better than he ever did
Looking like a true survivor, acting like a little kid
He's still standing after all this time
Equippin' Incendary Band without my hate on his mind
He's still shooting, yeah, yeah, yeah
He's still shooting, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now I never can hope to win
Vulcan across the map shooting me again
The bullets he fires are cuttin' me down
But if he didn't have Heat Immu he'd be dead by now

Don't you know he's still shooting better than he ever did
Looking like a true survivor, acting like a little kid
He's still standing after all this time
Equippin' Incendary Band without my hate on his mind
He's still shooting, yeah, yeah, yeah
He's still shooting, yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't you know he's still shooting better than he ever did
Looking like a true survivor, acting like a little kid
He's still standing after all this time
Equippin' Incendary Band without my hate on his mind
He's still shooting, yeah, yeah, yeah
He's still shooting, yeah, yeah, yeah
He's still shooting, yeah, yeah, yeah
He's still shooting, yeah, yeah, yeah

 

And finally, third place was a difficult place to pick. In the end, @Towns's Tankiroll about Tanki Helpers came up front and took the win. Congrats!

Spoiler

We're no strangers to Tanki
You know the rules and so do I
A full helper's what I'm thinking of 
You won't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you only one thing
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna abuse helper power
Never gonna let the admins down
Never gonna run around and mult you
Never gonna make players cry
Never gonna say goodbye
To this helper position, and you

We've known the community for so long
Their hearts being aching, but
I'm too scared to break it
Inside we all know what's been going on
With this game, the work experience, I'll take it

And if you ask me how the community is thinking
Don't tell me they're too blind to see

Never gonna abuse helper power
Never gonna let the admins down
Never gonna run around and mult you
Never gonna make players cry
Never gonna say goodbye
To this helper position, and you

Never gonna abuse helper power
Never gonna let the admins down
Never gonna run around and mult you
Never gonna make players cry
Never gonna say goodbye
To this helper position, and you

(Ooh, abuse helper power)
(Ooh, abuse helper power)
Never gonna abuse, never gonna abuse
(Abuse helper power)
Never gonna abuse, never gonna abuse
(Abuse helper power)

We've known the community for so long
Their hearts being aching, but
I'm too scared to break it
Inside we all know what's been going on
With this game, the work experience, I'll take it

I just wanna tell you only one thing
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna abuse helper power
Never gonna let the admins down
Never gonna run around and mult you
Never gonna make players cry
Never gonna say goodbye
To this helper position, and you

Never gonna abuse helper power
Never gonna let the admins down
Never gonna run around and mult you
Never gonna make players cry
Never gonna say goodbye
To this helper position, and you

Never gonna abuse helper power
Never gonna let the admins down
Never gonna run around and mult you
Never gonna make players cry
Never gonna say goodbye
To this helper position, and you

Prizes will be sent out next week.

Thanks for participating and sorry for the late results! Congrats to all the winners!

Thanks all for participating in the Tanki Song Parody Contest. After a bit of a delay, we've got results out. Congrats to our talented Tanki songwriters!

The Tankiroll lives on... I may be 3rd but we all know that the "Tankiroll" trilogy was one of the most legendary we'll see for a while. 

 

Chinu's parody was really good as well, and same with readyfire's one. I made the 3rd Tankiroll for this contest (and it got 3rd place as well), and I also got the opportunity to rickroll the judges as well. If it didn't get published in the results it would've been lost forever, so thank you for publishing it in the results as well! 

 

What contest is next? Hmm...

@Towns any chance for a tankiroll quadrilogy?

No. 3 is enough. I gotta move on to other things than just the Tankiroll.
