Campfire Singalong (Crystal Ballers and Buzzy Bees 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

Create a Camp TBT themed song with a musical accompaniment. You don't need to literally sing it, but you do need to provide lyrics and a link to the melody! You are permitted to create parodies of existing songs or, if you have the skill, you may wish to make a completely original piece.

• You cannot collaborate with another person.

• Keep content suitable for a PG-13 audience. If it would breach our Rules & Guidelines then it is not suitable here. If you are writing a parody of a song that contains inappropriate content in the original then please discuss this with the host (@Chris) ahead of time.

So just to be clear, Lyrics have to be original, but can we link to some music we found on youtube? or perhaps to a K.K. song that already exists? I got no music skills.

 

[your local goomy]

Lol, I have no creativity so I'm just making mine a parody of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." Since you can't have a good campfire without spooky stories, I decided to make mine about the Ghost of Camp Bell Tree. The lyrics are:

Don't go out too late at night
Or you'll be in for a fright.

Keep this between you and me.
There's a ghost at Camp Bell Tree.

Is it Pietro? Is it Bree?
Maybe you should go and see.

As we sleep, the fire dies.
With this, from bed you arise.

You decide to meet the ghost.
So to your cabin you can boast.

You hear a groan, then run inside.
Props to you...at least you tried.

Edited it to be longer, per @Chris 's request

Here’s my entry. I created the melody linked below myself. The dashes denote when the melody loops back, if you’re following along

What’s that in the trees

Past the Nook’s Cranny

Feel it in the breeze

Crystal energy

At Camp Bell Tree

——

Looming up above the tents

Cabins look like ants

Don’t stop to count them it’s

Time to shine the gold

Jellyfish medals

——


Running from each event

To the next ascent

Up the mountain peak

And down into the sea

With woods in between



Our cabin game was strong

We helped each other on

Each quest to be the best—

And drew tadpoles like the rest

Prizes please, we insist!

Yes, this is exactly right! As long as the lyrics are original it is okay to use existing music.

Lol, I have no creativity so I'm just making mine a parody of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." Since you can't have a good campfire without spooky stories, I decided to make mine about the Ghost of Camp Bell Tree. The lyrics are:

I'm afraid these are both a little on the short side! I'd need to see something longer in order to be able to award you 15 Woodland Tokens for it.

To the tune of Olivia Rodrigo's Good 4 U!

Spoiler: Song Link

Well looks like you found yourself at camp TBT
You’ve got a cabin and will be here for a couple weeks
Trying to earn those points and win your cabin the pearl
(pearl)

Here at camp you’ll find some tough competition see
Only 1 cabin can come out on top and it will surely be
The ones that are singing this song to you
(you)


Crystal Ballers
Can gaze into the future, and see
That we’re gonna top the rest

Crystal Ballers
Are gonna be out here slammin’ dunks, baby
Don’t you wish that you could do that

We’ve primed our canvas, we’ve counted the bugs
Gone insane with masterpieces Mistreil’s drawn
Still you haven’t got the message, stop making guesses
Crystal Ballers will be champions

Fantastic, I have accepted this now. Enjoy your tokens!

Original Melody - A Bubblegum K.K. Parody

[Chorus]
When our buzzy bees
win, I want us to cheer
and remember all the fun we
had buzzing around the campfire

My buzzy bee friends,
Where are you buzzing?
We'll never lose our hope
My buzzy bee friends go

[Verse]
And even when it's looking grim
we'll buzz through it all with our friends

As our goals all align
Lets buzz through victory together

And even when we're far behind
We can still try our very best

[Chorus]
When our buzzy bees
win, I want us to cheer
and remember all the fun we
had buzzing around the campfire

My buzzy bee friends,
Where are you buzzing?
We'll never lose our hope
My buzzy bee friends go

[Verse]
And even when it's looking grim
we'll buzz through it all with our friends

As our goals all align
Lets buzz through victory together

And even when we're far behind
We can still try our very best

Spoiler: crush culture

Oh god, don’t send me to camp
I am not here for it
Quit packing your suitcase (bug)
I don’t care if I stay home all alone
I’m not going with you
Why won’t you let me choose (creatures)

All these leaves are suffocating
Hidden bugs are so enraging, creepy crawling, always waiting (bug)
And no, I don’t want your bug spraying, this whole camp is so dissuading
Just let me get one jellyfish

‘Cause
Bug creatures make me wanna spill my guts out
I know what they’re doing tryna get some of my tuna
Bug creatures make me wanna spill my guts out
please get me out, please get me out

Oh no don’t look to your left
That’s one big ass creature
With some real buggy features (bug)
All of them have death in their eyes
So hide in the cabin
‘Til this camp thing is over (creature)

All these leaves are suffocating
Hidden bugs are so enraging, creepy crawling, always waiting (bug)
And no, I don’t want your bug spraying, this whole camp is so dissuading
Just let me get one jellyfish

‘Cause
Bug creatures make me wanna spill my guts out
I know what they’re doing tryna get some of my tuna
Bug creatures make me wanna spill my guts out
please get me out, please get me out

Tokens come on
They’re taking too long
I don’t care for the s’more handouts
I’m sick of the crawling creeps

Bug creatures make me wanna spill my guts out
I know what they’re doing tryna get some of my tuna
Bug creatures make me wanna spill my guts out
please get me out, please get me out

Bug creatures make me wanna spill my guts out
I know what they’re doing tryna get some of my tuna
Bug creatures make me wanna spill my guts out
please get me out, please get me out

I call this one The Camp Bell Tree song.

Let’s gather into teams, and see which cabin you belong.

Many friendly campers here just playing along.



If you think you don’t matter then you’re going to be wrong.

Your points will help if you just play along.

Dun Dun Dun
C-A-M-P B-E-L-L T-R-E-E
C-A-M-P B-E-L-L T-R-E-E

If you think your Campground guesses are correct, then you’re probably wrong!

Mistreil!

Oblivia!

It will help, It will help….
If we just get a clue to respond!
Oh, Yes.

This is "The Bees Flew Over Camp TBT". It's sung to "The Bear Went Over the Mountain".
(I thought it would be funny to use a real campfire song. I apologize for its lameness.)​

The Bees flew over the mountain,
The Bees flew round the mountain,
The Bees flew by the mountain,
To see what they could see.
And all that they could see,
And all that they could see,
Was some rocks upon the mountain,
Some rocks upon the mountain,
Some rocks upon the mountain,
Was all that they could see.

The Bees flew over the ocean,
The Bees flew near the ocean,
The Bees flew past the ocean,
To see what they could see.
And all that they could see,
And all that they could see,
Was the waves upon the ocean,
The waves upon the ocean,
The waves upon the ocean,
Was all that they could see.

The Bees flew over the woodlands,
The Bees flew along the woodlands,
The Bees flew through the woodlands,
To see what they could see.
And all that they could see,
And all that they could see,
Was lots and lots of trees,
Just lots and lots of trees,
Just lots and lots of trees,
Was all that they could see.

The Bees flew over Camp TBT,
The Bees flew round Camp TBT,
The Bees flew in Camp TBT,
To see what they could see.
And all that they could see,
And all that they could see,
Was all the campground cabins,
Just all the campground cabins,
Just all the campground cabins,
Was all that they could see.

[Rio_]

To the tune of On Top of Spaghetti:

This is a true story
From Camp Belltree
Of a little cabin
Called the Buzzy Bees

Known In the beginning
As just Cabin 4
We were lead by our leaders
Kaiaa and LaBelleFleur

Venn picked out a yellow
And mog gave us our name
We were now ready
To join in the game

We caught many pufferfish
Down by the sea shore
But all of that fishing
Did not help our score

We traversed the mountains
In search of rare birds
But we got a headache
From too many words

When we reached the forest
It was destiny
We found our life's calling:
To draw lots of bees!

 

[Venn]

To the Tune of Wheels on the Buss Goes Round and Round
(Yes, Really)

The bees in the hive go BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ
The bees in the hive go BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ
All 'round the hive

The wings on the bees go flap, flap, flap
flap, flap, flap
flap, flap, flap
The wings on the bees go flap, flap, flap
All 'round the hive

The queen of the hive goes 'get to work'
get to work
get to work
The queen of the hive goes 'get to work'
All 'round the hive

The bees in the hive go make some food
make some food
make some food
The bees in the hive go make some food
All 'round the hive

The stingers on the bees goes STING, STING, STING
STING, STING, STING
STING, STING, STING
The stingers on the bees goes STING, STING, STING
All 'round the hive

The legs on the bees goes CLIMB, CLIMB, CLIMB
CLIMB, CLIMB, CLIMB
CLIMB, CLIMB, CLIMB
The legs on the bees goes CLIMB, CLIMB, CLIMB
All 'round the hive

The antennae on the bees go TALK, TALK, TALK
TALK, TALK, TALK
TALK, TALK, TALK
The antennae on the bees go TALK, TALK, TALK
All 'round the hive

Don't turn it up just cuz the start is quiet.

Spoiler: Lyrics

Campin' in the wild
Friends surrounding me
starin' at the night sky
happy as can be

I hope I never wake up
From this silly dream
Spendin time with those I love
it's my new reality

Climin' through the mountains
Laughin' all the way
Findin' our adventure
Is just another way to say

I love you all
I love being with my friends
I love you all
I love spending time together with all of you

I love solvin riddles.
Busy as a bee.
Talkin with my new best friends.
Buzzin happily.

I liked goin fishing.
and drawing pufferfish.
Now I want us all to sing.
about our favorite dish.

Campin' over discord.
Makin' funny memes.
collectibles we can't afford.
silly bee shaped themes.

I love you all.
I love doing all these challenges.
I love you all.
So let's make the best, and play all day.

I love you all.
It's ok if we don't win.
I love you all.
So let's have a blast, and blow them all away.

So let's have a blast, and blow them all away.

Spoiler: Some thoughts

It's not perfect. (Read: I wrote it in two hours.) I didn't mix it that well... but I'm really really happy with it. To me it's a campfire song, imperfections and all. I hope you guys think it's catchy. (Also if anyone wants it for ANY godforsaken reason) I can send you a version without the talking. Or something.

My campfire song is a parody of Old Macdonald Had a Farm! Hope y'all like it!!

Lyrics:
The Bell Tree Forums had a camp
And Cabins 1 through 5.
And in that camp there were some Melon Ballers
From Cabin 1 of 5!

With a watermelon here,
And some honeydew there,
Here a Melon, there a Melon,
Everywhere a Melon Baller.

The Bell Tree Forums had a camp
And Cabins 1 through 5!

-----------

The Bell Tree Forums had a camp
And Cabins 1 through 5.
And in that camp there were some Crystal Ballers
From Cabin 2 of 5!

With a crystal ball here,
And some fortune telling there,
Here a Baller, there a Baller,
Everywhere a Crystal Baller.

The Bell Tree Forums had a camp
And Cabins 1 through 5!

----------

The Bell Tree Forums had a camp
And Cabins 1 through 5.
And in that camp there were some Evergreens
From Cabin 3 of 5!

With some pine trees here,
And Kermit the frog there,
Here an Evergreen, there an Evergreen,
Everywhere an Evergreen.

The Bell Tree Forums had a camp
And Cabins 1 through 5!

----------

The Bell Tree Forums had a camp
And Cabins 1 through 5.
And in that camp there were some Buzzy Bees
From Cabin 4 of 5!

With a buzz-buzz here,
And some pollination there,
Here a Bee, there a Bee,
Everywhere a Buzzy Bee.

The Bell Tree Forums had a camp
And Cabins 1 through 5!

----------

The Bell Tree Forums had a camp
And Cabins 1 through 5.
And in that camp there were some Poliwags
From Cabin 5 of 5!

With a splish-splash here,
And a swift swim there,
Here a Poliwag, there a Poliwag,
Everywhere a Poliwag.

The Bell Tree Forums had a camp
And Cabins 1 through 5!

i just can't stop singing we are the bees to the tune of now that we're men!

we are the bees!

we are the bees! we can do anything!
hey, we are the bees! that means that we can sting!
yes! we are the bees!, we'll rack up all those points!
we'll save the hive, maybe get that pearl so prepare those joints!!

even when it was grim, we had those lists from dacosim
when things tough, we'd get a hurray from mogyay!
just when things would filled with gloom, we had art from sweet plume!
tilly would be so silly and put us in a tizzy

we are the bees! we can do anything!
hey, we are the bees! that means we might just might sting!
yes! we are the bees!, we'll collect a bunch of tokens!
we'll save the hive, collect some jellies and show we're not jokin'!

when we were stuck on the mountain, nougat was one to count on
with the help of venn, we'll get those bonus critterpedia points again!
and to zakira! there's nothing to a fear-a
thanks to skarmoury for strengthing our hive's honey armory
the plushies of bluebearL are just oh so belle!

we are the bees! we can do anything!
hey, we are the bees! that means that we can sting!
oh yes! we are the bees!, we'll get all those plushies!
we'll save the hive, collect the honey and maybe stop for slushies!!

maybe airpeaches will find a cryptid critter on the beaches
and hanami might just submit a drawing of a bee!
and maybe thepondgirl will maybe rule the woodlands world
the week will end pretty soon? where's liam? anyone see 'em?

oooohhhhhhh! we are the bees! we can do anything!
hey, we are the bees! that means that we can sting!
yes! we are the bees!, we'll rack up all those points!
we'll save the hive, maybe get that pearl so prepare those joints!!

Sung to the tune of “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley.

​

We're no strangers to honey
You know the steps and so do I
A full honeycomb’s what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other hive

I just wanna tell you how I'm sweetening
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna make you go “yuck”
Never gonna let your tastebuds down
Never gonna buzz around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna sting your eye and hurt you

We've known each other for so long
Your sweet tooth’s been aching, but
You're too shy to say it
Inside, we both know what's been going on
We know the recipe and we're gonna make it

And if you ask me how I'm sweetening
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

Never gonna make you go “yuck”
Never gonna let your tastebuds down
Never gonna buzz around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna sting your eye and hurt you

Never gonna make you go “yuck”
Never gonna let your tastebuds down
Never gonna buzz around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna sting your eye and hurt you

(Ooh, make you go “yuck”)
(Ooh, make you go “yuck”)
Never gonna make, never gonna make
(Make you go “yuck”)
Never gonna make, never gonna make
(Make you go “yuck”)

We've known each other for so long
Your sweet tooth’s been aching, but
You're too shy to say it
Inside, we both know what's been going on
We know the recipe and we're gonna make it

I just wanna tell you how I'm sweetening
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna make you go “yuck”
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna buzz around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna sting your eye and hurt you

Never gonna make you go “yuck”
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna buzz around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna sting your eye and hurt you

Never gonna make you go “yuck”
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna buzz around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna sting your eye and hurt you
