Sometimes taking an old song and rewriting it can get you something amazing, and this parody of Under the Sea from The Little Mermaid is amazing.
This song is from way way back, 1999 specifically, a time in which I was heavily involved in PC gaming, way more than I am now, heading off to LAN parties in Ipswich and London and this was a song we played quite a bit.
Its just filled with what now we would consider retro, which makes me feel far far too old now!
Also really do look into Toms music, he is one of the giants of the world of filk and has a ton of amazing songs, he is one performer I would really love to see live!
This song by nerdy comedian Mikey Mason, really reminds me of the great DnD games I used to play as a kid with my old group, until we went our separate ways for university. But yeah this is such a relevant song, and makes me see the days when I was a Bard attempting to slay a dragon with a lute and a few poems!
Its a great song, and I absolutely love how it makes me feel, my polycule wants to start an RPG session soon, and they are looking at me to GM, so that is something I need to do in the new year!
Anyway, what do you guys think of the song, I really like it and if you had a childhood like mine, I think you will too!
Anyway they got built and painted leaving me with only the Warhound Titan to build, and given the trip for my brothers wedding and other issues, I cannot see myself being able to finish this 🙁

What Tabletop Games Am I Playing
Nowt 🙁
What Am I Creating
Just an Imperium Battle Report, which you can see below.
What I Am Backing
No new projects, but Rawr! Velociraptor! sent us a free bonus of live songs by The Doubleclicks!
What I Am Spending
Cyber Monday deals were good, so I picked up the Far Cry games that I don’t own, Far Cry 4 and Far Cry Primal.
And the Batman Humble Bundle deal looked awesome, I once owned Batman Arkham Asylum in Xbox 360, my brother in law borrowed it, and I never saw it again.
I already have Lego Batman 2 and Lego Batman 3, I have offered them to my nephews, but if they don’t want them, a friend is hunting some codes down for a charity thing.
And a couple of movies got bought too, digital copies of 300, Warewolves Within and Snowpiercer They were all on sale and I fancied having them in the collection to watch.
I also bought a camera bag for my Sony ZV-1 to take to the wedding.
Regular readers will know how much I love The Doubleclick, and well its no surprise I am featuring them in this years advent!
I also rather love that rock music of the late 90s/early 00s that I grew up with, so when The Doubleclicks covered it, well its been a staple of my playlists for a long time.
And the video for it is so very cute and delightful
Two days in a row with something that has problematic stuff, not the song, not the artist, but what’s its based on.
I love Harry Potter, but I detest the author and frankly there are a ton of problematic issues with the books themselves from the anti-Semitism of the goblin bankers to the dreadful way characters from ethnic minorities are portrayed.
But this song is good, Hank Green is a fantastic podcaster, musician and science communicator with a passion for science that benefits the environment, his stuff is really well worth checking out, as he is an amazingly passionate creator.
But I have to make this point, trans rights are human rights, and JK Rowling is the queen of TERFs and the Harry Potter fanbase deserves better than her.
Instead of buying official Harry Potter merchandise, donate to Trans charities, buy knock offs or read some amazing fan fiction instead.
Most of us nerds are huge Firefly fans, and Jayne is absolutely a fan favourite, not so much the actor, he turned out to be an utter prick, as did the shows creator, but sigh, we still love the show for the rest of the cast.
Marian Call is a fantastic artist based in Juneau, Alaska (which prompts me to consider another song to add to this list, but that might slip into next year), and I love her music, its quirky, geeky and very cool.
And this song is about Jayne the cunning man of the Verse!
Oh Aquaman, he really is the last hero most people think of when it comes to the Justice League, despite the Jason Momoa movie!
This song is a lovely little ditty from Mark Aaron James, a nerdy rock performer from out of New York who makes some amazing and introspective nerd rock songs.
And yeah its a lot of fun cause its Aquaman wondering why isn’t loved as much as Batman!
