Ahoy! Ready for another weird ass parody fic? Yeah, me neither...
Ah, Animaniac's, one of my favorite shows growing up. That, along with Little Einstein's...
Anyway, this song sticks out in my memory particularly well for some reason, so every once in a while, I'll just get it stuck in my head! With no warning or context! So, I guess I started thinking about it again today, and then, well, this happened :/
If you haven't listened to the Ballad of Magellan from the Animaniac's already, I would suggest doing that so you kind of understand where this parody is coming from. That being said, you can still probably read this as a stand alone.
And now, on with the weird shit!
Disclaimer: I do not own the song, the Ballad of Magellan, and I do not own Ninjago (darnit...)
Jay: There once was a man
His name was O' Soto
A Ninjagoian skipper
With one leg to boot
Cole: He sailed with five ships
To find the Dark Island
Then come back to Stiix
With a bounty of loot
All: Whoopie Ninja-Go!
Happy O' Soto
Starting your journey
With hardly a care
All: Whoopie Ninja-Go!
Strong, brave O' Soto
You'll find the Dark Island
You just don't know where
Kai: They crossed over the sea
And spotted a country
O' Soto said,
Soto: It's the Dark Island, at last!
Zane: But then someone shouted,
Kai: Hey, that's Chen's Island!
Nya: O' Soto got cranky, and chopped down the mast!
All: Whoopie Ninja-Go!
Settle down, O' Soto
Put down that axe
There's no time to despair
All: Whoopie Ninja-Go!
Keep trying, O' Soto
You'll find the Dark Island
You just don't know where
Nya: A great storm arose
In the mighty Endless Sea
The five little ships
Were diminished to three
Kai: At last land was sighted
O' Soto was happy
But then someone shouted
Zane: That is a lighthouse!
All: Whoopie Ninja-Go!
Cheer up, O' Soto
Check out your map
And don't tear out your hair
All: Whoopie Ninja-Go!
Keep trying, O' Soto
You'll find the Dark Island
You just don't know where
Zane: It took them five months
But they crossed the Endless
They spotted a land
That was made of ivory
Zane: O' Soto proclaimed,
Soto: Yes! That's the Dark Island!
Jay: But then someone shouted,
Cole: Hey, I think that's Shintaro!
All: Ay-yi-yi-yi
Oops, O' Soto
Your fun little journey's
Become a nightmare
All: Whoopie Ninja-Go!
Keep trying, O' Soto
You'll find the Dark Island
You just don't know where
Lloyd: They sailed due west
To the Ninjagoian Islands
O' Soto was pleased
As they drew ever near
Nya: But then someone shouted,
All: I think that we're crashing!
Kai: O' Soto said...
Soto: ...What?
Jay: And was then killed, poor dear
All: Whoopie ti-yi-yo
Farewell, O' Soto
You almost made it
It's really not fair
All: Whoopie ti-yi-yo
Ghost of O' Soto
The great big Dark Island
Was right over there.
Before you nag me about it, I KNOW that Captain Soto had that run in with Nadakhan before he died, but I just didn't know how the hek I was supposed to include that in the song. And I KNOW that he PROBABLY never went to Shintaro, or Chen's Island, OR the Lighthouse... But it made it more interesting, right?
Review maybe? Let me know what you think! Is it rubbish? Did you laugh? Were you confused? Should I get off my ass and go update Ninja Sing Disney already? Any of those would be great!
