Alternative Titles & Lyrics inspired by Go and songs that already work as Go songs

It is my favourite :heart: went with my high school to see it, and once again with my best friend shortly after while it was playing in my then state capital

Funny … just a minute ago I had only read this comment but missed @yebellz’ earlier comment, and immediately I had that same “Tequila!” song in my head—and posted it here in reply to @shinuito’s comment, only to realize a minute later that this comment already was for this song :sweat_smile:

Have we already had the song that always makes me think of Go?

And I love this one even without lyrical tweaks

Oh, no time to rest
Just do your best
Oh, what you hear is not a test
We’re only here to make you
We’re only here to make you
We’re only here to make you
We’re only here to make you go

Go, go, go
Go, go, go

Can’t think, can’t sleep, can’t breathe
Can’t think, can’t sleep, can’t breathe

Star Goin’ (OGS Choir)

Star Goin’ across the universe
On the Starship OGS, under Captain Anoek
Star Goin’ across the universe
Boldly going forward, 'cause we can’t find reverse

There’s tsuke on the starboard bow
Starboard bow
Starboard bow
There’s tsuke on the starboard bow
Starboard bow, Jim!

It’s life, Jim
But only in gote
Only in gote
Only in gote
It’s life, Jim
But only in gote
Only in gote, Captain

There’s tsuke on the starboard bow
Starboard bow
Starboard bow
There’s tsuke on the starboard bow
Starboard bow, Jim!

Star Goin’ across the universe
On the Starship OGS, under Captain Anoek
Star Goin’ across the universe
Boldly going forward - still can’t find reverse!

It’s worse than that
He’s offline, Jim

Starboard bow
There’s tsuke on the starboard bow
Starboard bow, Jim!

Ah! We come in sente
Shoot to kill

Shoot to kill
Shoot to kill, men

Hane them off, Jim!

Star Goin’ across the universe
On the Starship OGS, under Captain Anoek

Boldly going forward and things are getting worse!

Ye cannae change the laws of endgame

Laws of endgame, Jim!

Let’s Go In The Mall

I regret nothing...

Let’s Go in the mall, everybody!
Come on Jessica, come on Tori
Let’s Go in the mall, you won’t be sorry
Put on your game timer
And your cool suit
At the mall, having fun is what it’s all about
I haven’t done my tsumego yet (That’s OK!)
And you know how my sensei gets (Whatever!)
I don’t care, cause all my friends are gonna be there
Let’s Go in the mall today
Everybody come and play
Throw every last care away
Let’s Go in the mall, today

Let’s Go in the mall everybody!
There’s this boy I like
Met him at the food court
He’s got hair like Ke Jie
And he does jumps on his goban
I hope he asks me out
Takes me to my favorite spot
It’ll be just him and me
(But don’t forget the robot)
Dad says I’m too young for AI (Lame!)
But baby, I don’t want to wait (Let’s do it!)
That’s OK, I’m going to rock tsumego anyway
I’m going to rock tsumego 'til Canada Day

Everybody come and play
Throw every last care away
Let’s Go in the mall, today

I went to the mall with a couple of friends
I had a whole week’s allowance to spend
I want new stones that are yunzi
We came here to shop and we came here to kibitz
I turned around and who should I see
Honinbo Shusaku
He said, “Young lady, I don’t approve.”
So I had to get down and bust an ear-reddening move
Hit it Fred, come on
Let’s Go in the mall

Everybody come and play
Throw every last care away
Let’s Go in the mall, today

Everybody loves Go!
Everybody come and play (Yeah!)
Throw every last care away (I love my yunzi!)
Let’s Go in the mall today

Parody of Land of Confusion by Genesis.

Actual Song / Music Video

I must have played a thousand games.
Been atari-ed in a million ways.
But I can’t read the stones, Holy Sheet!
They’re changing, evolving, this has me beat…

Did you see your rank today?
They say you’re slipping and you’d better pray,
But I can see the fire’s still alight,
SIGH, uh-huh; It’ll be alright.

There’s too many plans,
too many stones,
making too many problems,
and not much points to go round.
Can’t you see this is a land of confusion?

And this is the world we live in. (Oh-Ohhh-Oh)
And these are the stones we’re given. (Oh-oh)
You’d better learn ko fighting, (Oh-Ohhh-Oh)
To make your Go worth the time you spend.

Oh liberties where are you now?
When everything’s gone wrong somehow.
The dumpling clumps, the baseless towers,
are worthless, they’ve all gone sour.

This is the time, this is the place,
so we look to the future.
There’s not much points to go round.
Tell me why this is a land of confusion.

– Chorus –
This is the world we live in.
And these are the stones we’re given.
Use them and lets start trying,
To make this a game worth playing in.

– Instrumental Break –

I remember long ago,
Ooh, when I first learned of Go,
Oh and the future was bright, even out of sight,
And the sound of my laughter, as I solved tesumego at night,
So long ago…

I won’t be playing Go tonight.
My monkey-mind, it just ain’t right.
I won’t be making promises.
That I know, I’ll never keep.

There’s too many plans,
too many stones,
making too many problems,
and not much points to go round.
Can’t you see this is a land of confusion?

– Chorus –
Now this is the world we live in. (Oh-Ohhh-Oh)
And these are the stones we’re given. (Oh-oh)
Use them and lets start trying, (Oh-Ohhh-Oh)
To make this a game that you’ll enjoy.

– Chorus –
And this is the world we live in. (Oh-Ohhh-Oh)
And these are the tools we’re given. (Oh-oh)
Stand up and lets start showing, (Oh-Ohh-Oh)
Just how my Go is going to improve…

That’s one heck of a verse!

Parody Title:

I Take Black

Go Lyrics

Chorus
I take black
If I play slack
You’ll bring it back
From reverse komi

When you are winning, I will surrender
Take sente and do as you will.
Have what you want, your way’s always the best way.
I have succumbed to this passive sensation
Peacefully answering you.
I am the zombie, your wish will command me
Laugh as I fall to my knees.

Chorus x2

I take black
If I play slack
You’ll bring it back
From reverse komi

Can I control this empty delusion?
Lost in the reading below.
And you come running your eyes will be open.
And when you come back, I’ll be as you want me
Only so eager to learn.
My little progress will keep you beside me
Thinking your name as I peep.

Chorus x2

I take black
If I play slack
You’ll bring it back
From reverse komi

Come, come, show me the way sensei.
Come, come, show me the way sensei.

No, you can’t help it if you have been tempted
By hamete in joseki
And I feel useless
Don’t care what the truth is
You will be here come the day.
Truth do you hear me?
Don’t try to come near me
So tired I sleep through the lie.
If you desire my rank to rise higher,
Come show me the way sensei.

Chorus x2

I take black
If I play slack
You’ll bring it back
From reverse komi

(tsumego montage)

One point back
Two points back
Bye, reverse komi

Three points back
Four points back
Bye, reverse komi

End game slack,
must be that
Bye, reverse komi

Losing track
stones they stack
Bye, reverse komi

Bye, reverse komi x2

Losing track
stones they stack
points I lack (echos lack)

Chorus x2

I take black
If I play slack
You’ll bring it back
From reverse komi

I don’t know if makes complete sense, but I’m trying to fit it into the song :slight_smile: (Just imagine the context of a teaching game most of the time)

@Chinitsu hid a good one here: "has recently timed out of a game" -- uh .. does years ago count? - #31 by Chinitsu. Maybe it’s more about OGS but that still means it’s about Go.

Parody of Breakout by Swing Out Sister
Original Music Video

Breakout
When board positions make no sense
When every answer’s wrong
You’re fighting with lost confidence
All expectations gone
The time has come to make or break
Move on don’t hesitate
Breakout
Don’t stop to ask
Now you’ve found a move to make it last
You’ve got to find a way
Play how you want to play
Breakout
When opportunity comes your way
And the future looks unsure
Don’t leave your destiny to chance
What are you waiting for
The time has come to make your move
Breakout
Don’t stop to ask
Now you’ve found a move to make it last
You’ve got to find a way
Play how you want to play
Breakout
Don’t stop to ask
Now you’ve found a move to make it last
You’ve got to find a way
Play how you want to play
Breakout
Some people stop at nothing
If you’re searching for something
Lay down the law
Shout out for more
Breakout and fight day in day out
Breakout
Breakout
Don’t stop to ask
Now you’ve found a move to make it last
You’ve got to find a way
Play what you want to play
Breakout
Don’t stop to ask
Now you’ve found a move to make it last
You’ve got to find a way
Play some great Go today
Breakout
Lay down the law
Shout out for more
Breakout and fight day in day out
Breakout

Just the chorus this time:

It’s a long way to Go dan glory
It’s a long way to go.
It’s a long way to Go dan glory
To the sweetest games I know!
Goodbye ko fear monkey
Farewell bad aji!
It’s a long long way to Go dan glory
But my heart’s right there.

How is it possible (or did I just miss it)?
Fleetwood Mac’s You can go your own way from the LP Rumours.

LP, what is that?

LP record - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The music

The song

Go Your Own Way
(Fleetwood Mac)

Loving you
Isn’t the right thing to do
How can I ever change things
That I feel

If I could
Maybe I’d give you my world
How can I
When you won’t take it from me

You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way

Tell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up is all you want to do

If I could
Baby, I’d give you my world
Open up
Everything’s waiting for you

You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way

You can go…

Feel free to go-ify the lyrics if you like.
