Campfire Singalong (Melon Ballers and Poliwags Cabins)

[Chris]

Can you call Camp Bell Tree a true camping experience unless you spend at least one night roughing it in the woods? Out here in the wilderness, northwest of the main campground, we can stay up long past curfew—I won't tell your cabin leaders if you won't!—roasting marshmallows and singing songs together. Just remember that it's easier for everyone to singalong if they already know the melody!


Task

---

To create a campfire song and provide the music.


How to Participate

Nvm question was answered!

More embarrassment to come ...

 

[Emolga59]

Here's my parody of vavi girl
Original melody/song here:

"Hey! You’re the new camper, you can be the center of our bonfire
You should be scared for your contest entries cause I’m about to steal the prize!

Oh my god, Oh my god, those mirrors, they live rent free in our crowd
Beep B-Beep Beep
They need to leave right now

The mirrors might be drawn by someone who’s not left-handed

Everytime I look around, I see new cute pixels, yes, I might go bankrupt, but they’re still jellies
Everything’s just fine, until they raise in prices

OH NOOOOOOOOO

Come to our campfire, you’ll be mesmerized by our looks
You can be a melon baller if you join
There’s always something new to procrastinate about,
You’ll be our special guest
Before you get sucked into the collectible world

C-c-c collectible c-c-c-c collectible world
C-c-c collectible c-c-c-c collectible world (We’ve all been sucked in too)
C-c-c collectible c-c-c-c collectible world
You’ll be drained for dayyyssss
Then sleep :3"

Idk if this is long enough but here we are

 

[Mokuren]

I feared an event like this. Please fellow melon ballers don't laugh at me. My english is poor and it's really embarrising for me tbh

 

[-Blue-]

More embarrassment to come ...

Yeah I am not good with making music lol. I feel like I already embarrassed myself enough with the postcard/shadow abomination lol.

We are in camp and campers eat beans...so maybe that will be my song. That's ok right Chris? (I'm only kidding)

 

[Shipper-Girl-27]

Hmmm if we’re allowed to use any song for inspiration…lol.

 

[Aniko]

I feared an event like this. Please fellow melon ballers don't laugh at me. My english is poor and it's really embarrising for me tbh

Same! I'm not even good at writing songs in my own language and my English is very limited.

 

[820]

Oh gosh, here we go... If I don't submit any entries to the woods activities before we leave just know that I'm dead, and this is the event that killed me

 

[nerfeddude]

Oh god... I'm terrible at rhyming... Should this song be a "full song" length, or could it be like an "anime opening" length? I have a general idea for a parody type of song, but I really need to confirm this. Otherwise I don't really know what to do here >~<'

 

[Shellzilla_515]

Guys, if I somehow manage to make a campfire singalong, please feel free to roast me like a marshmallow lol.

 

[kiwikenobi]

Got a pretty obscure song here I'm using for the melody. ^o^;>

Here's my campfire song:

Playing out in the sun
Relaxing by the sea and sand
And through the forest we'll run
Where ancient trees and mountains stand

And it's CLAP CLAP CLAP
Keep time and sing along
The Bell Tree bells will ring
We'll have fun here with our song
This camping song we sing!

We're all friends at camp today
Together we'll all sing this song
We all came here to play
That's why we all can get along

And it's CLAP CLAP CLAP
The fire's nice and bright
It's better than a lamp
We're all happy here tonight
At Bell Tree Summer Camp!

Poli screw up
Poli did not submit his entry today
Staff were waiting at camp
And they found
Found lurking underneath the threads
Tokens like those swirls on his belly
Tucked into his tail
They glittered in Bell Tree's night theme
With the Water Gun
Poli!

P P P P
Pa-Pe-Po-Li-Wag
P P P P
Pa-Pe-Po-Li-Wag
P P P P
Pa-Pe-Po-Li-Wag

So the cabin criminal is of course...
Poli!

P P P P
Pa-Pe-Po-Li-Wag
P P P P
Pa-Pe-Po-Li-Wag
P P P P
Pa-Pe-Po-Li-Wag

You see the cabin criminal is as expected...
Poli!

~~

Poli screw up again
Poli did not turn in his camp homework today
Staff were on the hunt
And they saw
Saw rustling behind the boards
Plushies with the twinkles of his eyes
Secured between his lips
They shimmered in Bell Tree's sunset theme
With the Hydro Pump
Poli!

P P P P
Pa-Pe-Po-Li-Whirl
P P P P
Pa-Pe-Po-Li-Whirl
P P P P
Pa-Pe-Po-Li-Whirl

So the cabin criminal is of course...
Poli!

P P P P
Pa-Pe-Po-Li-Whirl
P P P P
Pa-Pe-Po-Li-Whirl
P P P P
Pa-Pe-Po-Li-Whirl

You see the cabin criminal is as expected...
Poli!

P P P P
Pa-Pe-Po-Li-Wrath
P P P P
Pa-Pe-Po-Li-Wrath

Pa-Pe-Po-Li-Wrath

So the cabin criminal is of course...

The cabin criminal has always been...

If we write something original, do we need to sing it aswell? or is that optional?

Poliwag Parody of All-Star by Smashmouth

Some POLIWAG told me that Evergreen’s so moldy,
I said I can’t agree with that more
They were looking kind of stumped with their leaves and their trunks
And the birds screamed loudly on their branches

Well, the points start coming and they don't stop coming
Kept to the rules and we hit the pond swimming
Didn't make sense not to go for gold
The Poliwags will never fold
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with winning on T-B-T?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never float if you don't flow

Hey now, you're a Poliwag, get your toad on, go slay
Hey now, you're a Pokémon, get the battle on, get paid
And all the points will be ours
It’s time to show you our powers

It's a hot race and it will only get hotter
Gotta get points for the collectible fodder
But my campfire tokens are too little
So now I gotta go draw another critter
The dino plush is looking really cute
The jellyfish come in all kinds of colors
Their world’s of water, just like mine
That’s because I’m a Poliwag, I’m with my kind

Hey now, you're a Poliwag, get your toad on, go slay
Hey now, you're a Pokémon, get the battle on, get paid
And all the points will be ours
It’s time to show you our powers

Hey now, you're a Poliwag, get your toad on, go slay
Hey now, you're a Pokémon, get the battle on, get paid
And all the points will be ours
It’s time to show you our powers

Some Poliwag once asked me if I thought we could win the CBT
I really want to have that shiny pearl
I said, “YES” There’s no contest
With the Poliwags in the lead
Impossible for us to be beat

Well, the points start coming and they don't stop coming
Kept to the rules and we hit the pond swimming
Didn't make sense not to go for gold
The Poliwags will never fold
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with winning on T-B-T?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never float if you don't flow

Hey now, you're a Poliwag, get your toad on, go slay
Hey now, you're a Pokémon, get the battle on, get paid
And all the points will be ours
It’s time to show you our powers

And all the points will be ours
It’s time to show you our powers

 

[Xara]

oh god. i have,, absolutely no idea if this’ll count, but this is what i came up with.

i’ve been pretty obsessed with the hunger games for the past month or two, so my campfire song is inspired by “deep in the meadow”, a reoccurring song from the series. again, i have no idea if this’ll count for quite a few reasons (it’s a slow song, i am the exact opposite of musically inclined, etc etc etc), but i really did try my best with this.

melody starts at 1:17 and ends at 2:21-2:22.

deep in the campground
on top of damp ground
poliwags march
towards their camp crown

lay down in bed
and shut your eyes
when they reopen
poliwags will rise

here we play
here we are
every poliwag
is a shining star

here our dreams are reached
and poliwags bring them true
here is the place
where champs are blue

now, if you all will excuse me, i’m going to go hide out of embarrassment.

 

[Gold&Porcelain]

This made me giggle when I first thought of it. I have to post it now before I chicken out. Eek!

God save our baller team
No not those Crystal fiends

Bird 2 impossible?
Melons unstoppable

Masterpieces of mystery
EZClap for thee

Collectables galore
Tokens we're pleased to pour

Long may we win

We'll help build that dragon
It's clearly a dragon

Let's whip out our bug catcher nets
and score buzzy pets

this parody song, but it's this edit version

(no, this isn't my submission, ofc)

 

[Bob Zombie]

Here's mine... inspired by both Oh Whacking Day from the Simpsons and O Christmas Tree....

Oh Camp Bell Tree, oh Camp Bell Tree...
Your 5 cabins are so mighty!
Oh Camp Bell Tree, oh Camp Bell Tree...
But the Poliwags are the best-y!

Your three locales are inviting,
The ocean got us the big lead,
And we're going to win Camp Bell Tree,
Because woodlands we'll trample steadily!

Let us remember when we crushed all our foes,
And scaled the mountains fast on our toes,
The real meaning of Camp Bell Tree,
Is the glorious victory of the Poliwags!

Oh Camp Bell Tree, oh Camp Bell Tree...
Feel the might of the Poliwags!
Oh Camp Bell Tree, oh Camp Bell Tree....
The other 4 cabins surely lag!!!!!

Thank you, thank you.... I'm here all month!

 

[Flicky]

I've tried my darn hardest to keep the syllables accurate. A couple of times I tried to fit in the lyrics to Meowth's voice.

Lyrics
The camp is quiet now as the night has seized the sky
There isn't anything here, just the breeze that passes us by

Inside one cabin, a team can be heard
PoliPoli~ Poliwa-aag~

A shooting star crosses over the hill,
Maybe unseen, and unheard, yet it's presence felt still...

Now how will this cabin fare this round? Only time will tell.
Come sunrise, they'll be back awake,
All will be well...

So forever, these 'wags are always gonna give it their best,
And forever, these 'wags are always gonna outshine the rest~
