Inspired by this thread and the first reply:
http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=176514
I decided to write out the full lyrics to a SC2 parody of Eminem's "Stan".
What follows is a fictional parody that is in no way real:
Stan- Original Lyrics by Mr. Wiggles from December
+ Show Spoiler +
My rank's gone down I'm wondering why I?
Booted up the game at all
Angry BM fills the chat window
And I can't play at all
And even if I could it'd all be cheese
But your BO on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
My rank's gone down I'm wondering why I?
Booted up the game at all
Angry BM fills the chat window
And I can't play at all
And even if I could it'd all be cheese
But your BO on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
Dear IdrA, I PMed you but you still ain't replyin'
I left my handle, my email
And my username at the bottom
I sent two messages back in autumn
You must not have got 'em
It probably was a problem
With the beta servers or somethin'
Sometimes I write usernames
Too badly when I type 'em
But anyways fuck it
What's been up man, how's the Gracken?
I've been playing Starcraft too
I'm out to be a Gosu
If I get a KR license, guess what I'm a call it?
I'm a take the name Greg
I read about that IEM too, I'm sorry
I had a friend who quit Starcraft over some Terran
Who reaper rushed him
I know you probably hear this everyday
But I'm your biggest fan
I even watched the BroodWar shit you did with CJ Entus
I got a folder full of your replays
And your pictures man
I like the shit you did in GSL too
That shit is S-class
Anyways I hope you see this, man
Hit me back, I'm in chat
Truly yours, your biggest fan
This is Stan
My rank's gone down I'm wondering why I?
Booted up the game at all
Angry BM fills the chat window
And I can't play at all
And even if I could it'd all be cheese
But your BO on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
Dear Grack, you still ain't replied or wrote
I hope you have the chance, I ain't mad
I just think it's fucked up, that you BM your fans
If you didn't want to play with me
Outside the tourney you didn't have to
But you could've played a series out with Matthew
That's my little brother man
He's only 6 years old
We waited in a Blistering Sands for you
For 4 hours and you just said "No"
That's pretty shitty man
You're like his fuckin'idol
He wants to play just like you man
Macros like you more than I do
I ain't mad though I just don't like bein' lied to
Remember when we met in Dallas
You said if I messaged you, you would message back
See I'm just like you in a way
I don't like to play cheesers neither
They used to always proxy my friend and beat her
I can relate to what you're doin' in your games
So when I pull a shitty play
Put my status to "away" and load 'em up
Cause I don't really got shit else
So that shit helps when I'm depressed
I even got a tattoo
"<3 Greg Fields" across the chest
Sometimes I even cheese myself
To see how much it hurts
It's like Adrenaline
All-ins are such a sudden rush for me
See everything you say is real
And I respect you 'cause you tell it
That one friend's jealous
'Cause I talk about you 24/7
But she don't know you like
I know you Greg, no one does
She don't know what BroodWar was like?
For people like us growing up
You've gotta PM me man
I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
Sincerely yours, Stan
P.S. We should 2v2 together too
My rank's gone down I'm wondering why I?
Booted up the game at all
Angry BM fills the chat window
And I can't play at all
And even if I could it'd all be cheese
But your BO on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
Dear Mister, I'm too good to PM or message my fans
This'll be the last replay pack I ever send your ass
It's been five months and still no word
I don't deserve it?
I know you got my last two PMs
I wrote your username on 'em perfect
So this is my podcast I'm sending you
I hope you hear it
I'm in a game right now
I'm voidray rushing on the ladder
Hey IdrA, I drink a fifth of vodka
Ya dare me to play?
You know that thread on Team Liquid
"Help me not be a noob"
About those guys who could have saved
That other guy from losing
But didn't, then they saw it all
In his replay how they cheesed him
That's kinda how this is
You could have saved me from losing
Now it's too late
I had a thousand games, now I'm 2-gating
And all I wanted was a message or somethin' bolder
I hope you know
I deleted all your replays in my folder
I loved you Grack, we could have played together
Think about it, you ruined it now
I hope you can't win and you BM about it
And when you BM, I hope you can't win
And you rage about it
I hope those Koreans eat at you
And you'll be on tilt without me
See IdrA, "Fuck off noob!
I'm trying to play"
Hey Greg, that's my opponent screaming in the chat
But I didn't six-pool them, I just 2-raxed it up
See I ain't like you
'Cause if they rage they'll just suffer more
And then they'll lose too
Well gotta go
I'm almost at Rank 1 now
Oh shit! I forgot!
How am I supposed to stream this shit out?
My rank's gone down I'm wondering why I?
Booted up the game at all
Angry BM fills the chat window
And I can't play at all
And even if I could it'd all be cheese
But your BO on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
Dear Stan, I meant to message you sooner
But I've just been busy
You said you're playing on the ladder now
How far along are you?
Look I'm really flattered
You would call your Bnet name that
And here's a build order for your brother
I wrote it all down here in caps
I'm sorry I didn't play you in a custom
I must have missed you
Don't think I did that shit intentionally
Just to BM you
And what's this shit you said about
You like to use cheese too?
I say that shit just nooby dawg
C'mon, how fucked up is you?
You got some issues Stan
I think you need some coachin'
To help your ass from gettin' off the ladder
When your points get down some
And what's this shit about us
Meant to team together?
That nooby shit'll make me not want us
To play eachother
I really think you and your practice partner
Need each other
Or maybe you just need to treat her better
I hope you get to read this message
I just hope it reaches you in time
Before you hurt your play
I think you'll be doin' just fine
If you'd practice a little
I'm glad I inspire you
But Stan, why are you so bad?
Try to understand
That I do want you as a fan
I just don't want you to do some cheesy shit
I seen this one thread on TL
A couple weeks ago that made me sick
Some dude was on the ladder and all-ined every game
And had his opponents on one base
And they just couldn't do a thing
And with the replays they found a cast
But it didn't say who it was to?
Come to think about it
The username was, it was you! Damn!
"Hope you enjoyed it, took me like an hour or two to write :p
If anyone has any musical talent and wants to sing it, feel free to do so and upload the results!"
And so the project was picked up by Smix and Zapdos, before disappearing into obscurity for nearly a month... But then:

The parody once again gained interest, this time combining the awesome musical talents of Temp0781, Suspense, and Smix, into what will be one amazing parody. Changes were made to the lyrics, and here is what has been done so far:

I rewrote it out, and added a little concept that gives the song more character and depth, as you'll see. I will be recording the 3 Dan (Stan) Verses, and Suspense will be recording the IdrA(Em) verse I believe. Smix is singing oh so gloriously on the chorus as well
. Here are the new lyrics, as well as an exclusive Team Liquid sample of the completed chorus and a super rough draft of the first verse. Tell me what you think!!!

Dear IdrA, I Pmd you but you still ain't replied
I left my B Net Address and my character code inside
I sent 2 PMs back in beta, they musta not arrived
I was so proud, but sad inside when you were beating Clide
Sometimes I get excited and mispell names when I'm chattin
Anyways, F it, what's been up, man? What's Grackalackin?
I've been playin Starcraft too I'm bout to be Masters
If I make a smurf account, guess what Imma call it...Imma name it Gracken
I read about what Jinro did to you, that kinda sucks man
I had a friend who quit the game after someone 3 Rax rushed him
You prolly hear this every day...but you're the greatest Z
I even got some Brood War replays when you played as T
I got a folder full of replays and your B.Os man
I liked the games you played in GSL, that shit's 'S Class'
Anyways, I hope you get this man. Hit me back
I'm in chat, truly yours, your biggest fan...This is Dan...
My rank's gone down I'm wondering why I?

But your BO on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
Dear Grack, I checked my inbox and it still is empty
I ain't mad, I just think it's BM that you don't GG
If you didn't wanna play after the tourney really quick
That's cool, but you could have at least played a game with Nick
That's like my brother, man. He's 26 years old
We waited in the Blistering Sands for you for 4 hours and you just said "No"
That's pretty tasteless man, he treats you like his Guru
He wants to play just like you man, he macros just like you do
I ain't that mad, I'm really not the type to "boohoo"
Remember when we met at Blizzcon, you said if I messaged you, you'd hit me back
See, I'm kinda like you in a way, I never miss my Larva neither
I outmacro my opponents and beat em
I can relate to how your playing in your games
so when I have a shitty day, I load your stream and then press play
cuz I don't really got shit else so that shit helps me when I be stressed
I even got a picture of your face up on my desk
Sometimes I even rush my friends to brush up on my cheese
cuz that 3 minute mark...all in's are such a sudden rush for me
Everything you do is pro, and you're so focused when you're preppin'
My practice partner's jealous cuz I talk about you 24/7
But he don't know you like I know you, Grack, no one does
He don't know what it was like for people like us ranking up
You gotta reply, man. I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
PS Me, you and Nick should 3v3 together too
My rank's gone down I'm wondering why I?
Booted up the game at all
Angry BM fills the chat window
And I can't play at all
And even if I could it'd all be cheese
But your BO on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
Dear MR. I'm too good to cheese or change my strats
This will be the last replay I ever send you, Grack!
It's been 8 months and still no word, I don't deserve it
I know you read my last 2 emails, I wrote the subject headers perfect
So here's some casts I'm sending you, I hope you see them
I'm in your game right now, Oh surprise, you BMd
Hey Grack, you just lost all your banelings, where's your supply?
Remember that thread up on TL by some angry guy
about why Protoss was OP by everyone that used them
and how you never even say GG when you be losing?
That's nothing like this is, but you coulda rescued me from losing
now it's too late, I'm down a thousand ladder points now and cruising
And all I wanted was a lousy message, or a game
I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures out the frames
I loved you Grack, we coulda played together, THINK about it
You ruined it now, I hope you can't win and you DREAM about it
and when you STREAM I hope it just lags and you RAGE about it
I hope your conscience RAPES you and you can't PLAY without me
Hey Greg...Shut up Noob, I'm tryin to cast!
Hey Grack, that's my Queen that's screaming in the back
But her energy is full, I never use her, see I ain't like you
cuz if she poops some creep, I'll just lose faster, than I'll dive too
Well, gotta go, my comps about to crash now
Oh crap, I forgot..how am I supposed to send this cast out?
My rank's gone down I'm wondering why I?

Dear Dan, I meant message but I've just been busy
You said you had a practice partner, what diamond division is he?
Look, I'm really flattered that you'd name your ID that
Here's a build order for Nick, I wrote each step of it here all in caps
I'm really sorry that I took so long just to PM you
don't think I did that shit intentionally to BM you
And what's this BS that you said about you like to cheese too?
I 6 pooled once in GSL, come on, how bronze league is you?
You got some issues, Dan, I think you need some coachin
to help from falling down the ladder making only roaches
And what's this shit about us meant to team together?
That casual team shit makes me not wanna meet you, ever
I really think you and your practice partner need each other
so maybe one day you can beat him better
I hope you get to read this message...I just hope it reaches you in time
before you hurt your rank, I think you guys will be doing just fine

Why are you so bad? Try to understand that I DO want you as a fan

Hey, just noticed this while watching IdrA's stream ironically. :p
I'd just like to post this here, so it doesn't get buried in all the replies in the other thread.
I listened, and it was truly awesome, it was really, reallllly good! I'd also like to thank everyone who was involved in the production of this, Smix, Temp0, Suspense, for lending your amazing musical talents to making this song a reality, you all really did a phenomenal job! This gave me nerd shivers haha, it's just so good!
So once again, thanks, and to everyone else, enjoy, I know I did.
