Okay, I'm finally updating this. Been busy with school and other things. But keep the requests coming people! Let's try and make the next few songs SU tracks, for the sake of variety.
Sonic turned to James. "You know, you guys have been leading this thing. How about we do a song while you guys take a break?"
James turned to the rest of his band. The all basically nodded in approval, even though they weren't as tired as Sonic thought.
"Okay blue boy," James said, "You and your band can do a few on your own. Besides, the people need variety. Just take your pick."
Sonic smiled. He turned to his band, who nodded at him. Then he turned and approached the microphone. "Ladies and gentlemen, we've decided to Give Metallica a rest while we perform a few songs." The crowd cheered.
"And for a start, we've decided to do our own variation of Metallica's own…" he paused for effect, glancing at the other band. "…Sweet Amber."
The crowd cheered wildly while Metallica just stood there, a little caught off guard. Sonic began playing a soft riff on his guitar. As crowd quieted down a little, he paused. James gave him an approving nod, and then he jumped into the song with a heavy riff, Playing solo for a minute, before Manic came in with heavy beats to back him up. Tails soon came in on bass, and Sonia on keyboard, having adjusted the keys to sound lower in tone and heavier. The, in one burst, they all came together, manic going wild on the drums, while everyone jammed away.
As Metallica watched in amusement, Sonic sang the lyrics. He didn't sound anything like James with his higher pitched voice, but the crowd went nuts for him as he did the song his own way.
Wash your back so you don't stab mine,
Get in bed with your own kind,
Live your life so you don't see mine,
Drape your back so you won't shine
Wash your back so you don't stab mine,
Get in bed with your own kind,
Live your life so you don't see mine,
Drape your back so you won't shine
Ooh, then she holds my hand, and I lie to get a smile!
The crowd erupted in cheers.
Ooh, then she holds my hand, and I lie to get a smile!
Everyone in the band sang with Sonic
Using what I want to get what you want!
Using what I want to get what you want!
Using what I want to get what you want!
Ooh, Sweet Amber…
How sweet are you?
Sonic motioned for the crowd to sing.
How sweet does it get?
How sweet are you?
How sweet does it get?
As Metallica still stood in amusement at Sonic's band singing their song, Manic did a crazy drum solo leading into the next verse.
Chase the rabbit fetch the stick,
She rolls me over till I'm sick,
She deals in habits deals in pain,
I run away but I'm back again.
Chase the rabbit fetch the stick,
She rolls me over till I'm sick,
She deals in habits deals in pain,
I run away but I'm back again.
Ooh, then she holds my hand, and I lie to get a smile!
Ooh then she squeezes tighter, I still lie to get a smile!
Using what I want to get what you want!
Using what I want to get what you want!
Using what I want to get what you want!
Ooh, Sweet Amber…
How sweet are you?
How sweet does it get?
How sweet are you?
How sweet does it get?
She holds the pen that spells the end,
She traces me and draws me in,
She holds the pen that spells the end,
She traces me and draws me in,
Ooh, Sweet Amber…
Sonia did a fast solo on her keyboard. Kirk was impressed by her playing, watching her hands fly over the keys. Sonic sang on.
Ooh, Sweet Amber…
How sweet are you?
How sweet does it get?
How sweet are you?
How sweet does it get?
"Finish it for us!" The crowd all song the last line.
It's never as sweet as it seems!
The song ended and the stadium erupted in cheers. Sonic's band took a bow as Metallica applauded and cheered their own approval. Sonic smiled. "Okay. I think now that we are really warmed up, how about sweet tunes right from the Sonic Underground?"
The crowd cheered. Sonic nodded. "Alright then! Let's kick it!"
