Megatron's Song

*Okay--this is what I get for staying up late. This is a paraody of a song I call, 'Kookabura,' which is an Austrailian bird. I figured I'd go ahead and bash Megatron--just this once. As always, I do not own anything but the plot.

Cyclonus, Demolisher, Starscream, and the Authoress (who had managed by some miracle to slip into the Decepticon base with a guitar in hand) sat around, generally doing nothing.

"This is boring. You guys need something to perk you up. Hey, I have an idea! Why don't we sing a song!" called the Authoress jovially, taking up her guitar.

She looked up at the others to see them staring down at her with unmasked annoyance.

"Be quiet, you stupid Human. Decepticons do not degrade ourselves to singing songs--especially with Humans," piped Demolisher.

"Yeah!" agreed Cyclonus at once.

"Wait! I say we go for it," interrupted Starscream.

"What?!"

"Why not? I've done it before, and it's actually not so bad."



The group of Decepticons quickly rally behind the 'Screamer and allow the Authoress to take up her guitar once more.

"Okay. I'll play the tune for you, and then you sing it your way," she explains, beginning to play.

Authoress: Kookabura sits on an old gum tree

Merry, merry king of the bush is he

Laugh! Kookabura, laugh!

Kookabura, happy you must be.



Kookabura sits on an old gum tree

Eating all the gumdrops he can see

Stop! Kookabura, stop!

Kookabura save some there for me.

The hardened warriors listen to the simple song, almost in a daze. Starscream is the first to grin wickedly.

"Play that one again, Human. And this time, I shall begin.

Nodding at the seeker, the Authoress complies.

Starscream: Megatron is laughing incessiently

Ruler of the universe wanna-be

Laugh! Everybody laugh!

Megatron, a ruler you won't be

Megatron sits chuckling manically

Grabbing all the Mini-cons he can see

Stop! Megatron, please stop!

Megatron, please save just one for me.

The Authoress' eyes go wide as she strums the last chord.

"Starscream--that was good!" she says, grinning wickedly.

"Thanks."

"How did you come up with those words?"

"No clue, Human. I just...went with it."

Starscream slightly cringes at the Authoress' wicked grin.

"I have an idea. Starscream did his version. Now Demolisher, you go for it. Just try singing whatever comes into your head about Megatron. C'mon, go for it!" she exclaims, tugging on his fingers.

"Okay, okay."

Demolisher: Megatron is the leader for me

Ruler of the universe he will be

Laugh! Oh, how I will laugh!

When the ruler Megatron shall be.

Megatron will perch on his throne, serene

Scrapping all the Autobots he can see.

Stop! Megatron, please stop!

Megatron, please save one there for me.

"Not bad, Demolisher. Not bad at all. Cyclonus, would you care to join us?"

"No, way. I don't have time for your stupid Human ways. Leave me alone."

"Boys."

"Cy-clo-nus! Cy-clo-nus! Cy-clo-nus!" chant the others.

"No!" yelled the copter, and retreated into the throne room.

"What in the world are you running from, Cyclonus?"

"Uh-oh. Guys, I just heard 'ol Megatrash bellow."

"Not good," cringed Starscream, picking up the Authoress and taking her to the warp gate.

"Starscream!"

The poor Authoress' 'erp' was barely audible over Megatron's bellow.

*One more paraody. I plan to do one of, 'Froggie Went a Courtin' next. Any ideas? Suggestions? Lemme know! Oh yeah, the next chapter of 'Return to Cybertron' should be up soon...I hope.
