Shogun's Rock by Ali Pouladi

(sung to the tune of "Jailhouse Rock")

Kunitoki threw a party in the Lin Fen Vale,
The Samurai band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing,
You should've heard those knocked-out henchmen sing!
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock,
Everybody in the Shogun’s whole flock,
was dancin' to the Shogun Rock.

His Captain played the tenor saxophone,
Shogun’s Mouth was blowin' on the slide trombone.
The Leader of Samurais went crash, boom, bang,
the whole rhythm section was the hairless gang.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock,
Everybody in Shogun’s whole flock,
was dancin' to the Shogun Rock.

The Head of Fujiwara said to number three:
"You're the cutest street punk I ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company,
come on and do the Shogun Rock with me."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock,
Everybody in Shogun’s whole flock,
was dancin' to the Shogun Rock.

Armakuni was a jumpin' over a huge stone,
way over in Central Park running all alone.
Kunitoki said, "Hey, Ninja, don't you be no square,
If you can't find a partner dance with the cop there."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock,
Everybody in Shogun’s whole flock,
was dancin' to the Shogun Rock.

Armakuni said to the brotherhood , "For Heaven's sake,
no one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break."
Ninjas turned to him and they said, "Nix, nix,
We wanna stick around a while and get our kicks."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock,
Everybody in Shogun’s whole flock,
was dancin' to the Shogun Rock.


A More Vengeful Final Ninja

By R.T. Devlin

(A Parody of Gilbert and Sullivan's: "A More Humane Mikado Never")


(Verse1)Armakuni:
A more vengeful final ninja never,
Did in Lin Fen exist!.
The last of my kind,
I need to unwind,
Oh revenge I can't resist.
It is my very deepest intention,
To try and even the score.
Oh! luck be with me,
I'll make a journey,
To let shogun be no more.

(Chorus)Armakuni:
Oh a Last Ninja I'm divine,
I drink nothing like red wine.
Well, Armakuni is my true name,
Oh it is my own true name.
Kunitoki I will slice,
That tyrant I will sure dice.
For killing my ninja brotherhood,
Oh, he is a dead shogun dude!!

(Chorus echoed)Shogun Kunitoki and his Guards:
Oh a Last Ninja he's divine,
He'll drink nothing like red wine.
Well, Armakuni is his true name,
Oh it is his own true name.
Kunitoki he will slice,
That tyrant he will sure dice.
For killing his ninja brotherhood,
Oh, he is a dead shogun dude!!

(Verse2)Armakuni:
My journey I consider to be,
More than an idle stroll.
For it is my own destiny,
To recover White Ninja Scroll.
Shogun guard henchmen are scattered,
all over and other hazards lurk.
Such as deep pebble rivers and,
Quicksand sections all at this I wouldn't smirk.
But I have skills and varied technique,
To ensure that I'll survive.
At times so tragic,
I would use ninja magic,
You can bet that I'm alive.
Six levels chart my journey through,
The Island of Lin Fen.
Oh item collection,
Complete's level section,
In Japan's 17th century back then.

(Chorus Armakuni)
(Chorus echoed by Kunitoki and co)

(Verse3)Armakuni:
Oh I am in a game, a mere fragmentation,
Of System 3 folklore.
A title released on an 8-bit computer,
Labelled as C-64.
1987 oh was the year when it came out,
For sale in the shop.
Indeed at a time when the gaming era,
was not too far from the top.
"Last Ninja" was it's exemplary name,
which had a huge fan base.
It turned out to be,
A gaming trilogy,
And it's soundtrack sure did sound ace.
The music was done,
By composers named Ben Daglish and Anthony Lees.
So all I can say,
Is gamers go and play.
Oh complete "The Last Ninja" please!?

(Chorus Armakuni)
(Chorus echoed by Kunitoki and co)

(Verse4)Armakuni:
So through out the years of '87,
Then on to '91.
4 glorious years that brought,
A period of sheer gaming fun.
So I must bring on this song's conclusion,
All things must come to an end.
I failed to speak of item inclusion,
Sorry, but this song's round the bend!!.

(Chorus Armakuni)
(Chorus echoed by Kunitoki and co)
