Campfire Singalong (Melon Ballers and Poliwags Cabins)

First of all, I’d like to say that everyone’s entries are very entertaining to read; they’re all so lovely! 😊

As for my entry, I was heavily inspired by The Melon Baller’s winning flag (designed by none other than @Rosch)! I’ve decided to parody AURORA’s Exist For Love. Here it is:


Live On For Melons

They say the melon is
Cabin one’s appointed colour (ah, ah)
Never have I noticed before
Such a beautiful colour (ah)

And then all this seeps in
And all melons have me looking for a place to fit in
With the melon’s where I belong
And when I hold you close
It’s like I’ve finally seen the light
And we chant, "Hail Ye Meloneth"*
O great Melon Goddess, please grant us
Thy melons, thy melons

Enlighten I’ve become
Yes, to thee I give my life to bless us with your strength
And this entire time, I’ve wandered but all for naught
And now I’ll live on for melons
Live on for melons
Just for melons

I can’t fathom other cabins
Choosing a hue besides melon (ah, ah)
‘Cause The Melon Ballers is life
Was lost, now I feel anew

And I was blown away, the moment I caught sight of you
Melon’s my better half
Only you have a hold on me
They may think I’m excessive
But all cabins must grasp that
The melons and I are one
And the melons and I will be one, I know
Melon Ballers

Enlighten I’ve become
Yes, to thee I give my life to bless us with your strength
And this entire time I’ve wandered but all for naught
And now I’ll live on for melons
Live on for melons
Just for melons

And I guard my queen’s reign
Like knights before their sovereign
Goddess, you have me tamed
For you, all threats will be slain
And I’ll be gifted with
The sweetest of victories
And we live on for melons
Just for melons

Melon Ballers, Melon Ball---, Melon Ball---
Melon Ballers, Melon Ball---, Melon Ball---

*Quote from @Rosch’s flag design submission (The Melon Ballers’ winning flag)

Exist For Love by AURORA

They say there is a war
Between the man and the woman (ah, ah)
I've never felt like this before
My heart knew that I couldn't (ah)

And then you take me in
And everything in me begins to feel like I belong
Like everybody needs a home
And when I take your hand
Like the world has never held a man
I know I cannot heal the hurt
But I will hold you here forever
If I can, if I can

And then I learned the truth
How everything good in life seems to lead back to you
And every single time I run into your arms
I feel like I exist for love
Like I exist for love
Only for love
I can't imagine how it is
To be forbidden from loving (ah, ah)
'Cause when you walked into my life
I could feel my life begin

Like I was torn apart the minute I was only born
And you're the other half
The only thing that makes me whole
I know it sounds like a lot
But you really need to know
We are leaning out for love
And we will lean for love forever, I know
I love you so

And then I learned the truth
How everything good in life seems to lead back to you
And every single time I run into your arms
I feel like I exist for love
Only for love
And when you say my name
Like white horses on the waves
I think it feels the same
As an ocean in my veins
And you'll be diving in
Like nothing is out of place
And we exist for love
Only for love

And I love you, I love you, I love you
And I love you, I love you, I love you
 
This is probably the hardest event I've ever participated and I'm very embarrassed by this entry but submitting it anyway! I tried my best to match up the syllables and pacing with the song but I'm not good at music.

The melody is the ICONIC Pokemon theme song

Lyrics:
We are cabin number five
Painted a shade of blue
Our chosen name, The Poliwags
Our team's a dream come true

Drawing tadpoles and go-ing fish
The ocean was a breeze
Two more places to explore
Until our victory!

(Camp Bell Tree, we love TBT) Its you and me
Winning is our destiny
(Camp Bell Tree) Here with all my friends
Poliwags until the end
(Camp Bell Tree, we love TBT) If we believe
Our team is sure to succeed
Together we can achieve
Camp Bell Tree (we love TBT) We love TBT!
Yeah!

Currently we're in the woods
Two more stamps to collect
Catching bees and chopping trees
The mountains will be next

What further tasks will be in store?
What games will we play?
Remember the most important thing
The friends we made along the way 💙

(Camp Bell Tree, we love TBT) Its you and me
Winning is our destiny
(Camp Bell Tree) Here with all my friends
Poliwags until the end
(Camp Bell Tree, we love TBT) If we believe
Our team is sure to succeed
Together we can achieve
Camp Bell Tree (we love TBT) We love TBT!
Yeah!


I hope it's clear that in the song TBT is just meant to be said (Tee-Bee-Tee)~ Coming up with lyrics is hard

This is so wholesome, and you used the best Pokémon theme song (I wish I'd thought of that 😭). I love it! 💙
 
I'm back from the worst hotel in the world. Roughing it out here in the Woodlands with you lot was certainly better. That's all of your entries accepted now! 👻

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 >~<'
It should match the full length of the music link provided! Although if it's too short I will ask you to do it again.

If we write something original, do we need to sing it aswell? or is that optional?
If you write something original you would need to provide the music. Singing is optional but definitely encouraged!

No one deserves the horror of a bad hotel, especially on a mini vacation. 😱😔

Unlike your cabin we at least had a bathroom! Although it was more like a shower cubicle that someone awkwardly added a toilet to as an afterthought.
 
Everyones songs are so good! This is a parody of a song from one of my favorite shows ever Steven Universe- Stronger Than You


We are the poliwags all together
We aren’t going to back down from all the other cabins
We are so much better
All of you think you are cool with all of your baller names
But at least we aren’t all the same
But everyone thinks they are neat
But really we are the ones to defeat

Go ahead and try to defeat us
Cant you see how we all work together?
You don’t like how we are all in sync
Just make sure you don’t blink

No one can stop us together
We are always here for each other
We’ve got some of the best artists on The Bell Tree
Together we won’t be able to be beat!

We are the poliwags
P-o-o-o-l-i-wags
P-o-o-o-l-i-wags
P-o-o-o-l-i-wags
P-o-o-o-l-i-wags

Working together is what we do
This is how we work
Planning on discord
Supporting each other
Is the way to make things work

We won’t let you get to us
We will always do our best
No matter what happens in the end
We will aways stay friends

Go ahead and try to defeat us
Cant you see how we all work together?
You don’t like how we are all in sync
Just make sure you don’t blink
Visiting the ocean, woodlands and mountains
Sending postcards back home
We are the coolest
We’ve totally got this

We are the poliwags
P-o-o-o-l-i-wags
P-o-o-o-l-i-wags
And we are better than you!
P-o-o-o-l-i-wags
P-o-o-o-l-i-wags
And we are better than you!
 
Well, here's my entry. This was an absolute parade of mishaps, including losing a guitar and breaking the second string of a violin that only had two to begin with, but anyway, it's as done as it'll get now. This was supposed to have two more verses and also me singing the lyrics, but I accidentally closed FL Studio halfway through making the full version and didn't want to restart(The trial version of FL Studio is fully functional but doesn't let you load saved projects after you close them), so you all just get the short version I exported as a safety measure after finishing the first verse. It needs a little polishing but since I can't edit it I'm allowing myself to be satisfied with it as is.

Link:

there's monsters lurking in our campsite
doesn't that seem kind of straange?
there's monsters lurking in our campsite
at least that is what they saay
they're somewhere out there hidden in plain sight (squish "hidden" to fit in 1 syllable)
and i wanna go say "heey"
i'm gonna go on out there to-night
just to prove i'm not afraaid

you're on a wander through the woods
poor creatures so misunderstood
hiking for a good few hours now
but you haven't seen a thing
it's time to head back to camp now
"what a waste of time" you think
on your way back to the camp you
notice something rather strange
seen that exact tree five times now
and you think you've lost your way

you look around for friendly campers
but there's nobody around
suspicious noises all around you
situation something foul
the back of your neck gets a sharp sting
and you feel like falling down...

vision slowly getting darker
(vision slowly getting darker)
taking breath is getting harder
(taking breath is getting harder)
vision slowly getting darker
(vision slowly getting darker)
taking breath is getting harder
(taking breath is getting harder)
panic
panic
panic
panic
panic
panic
panic
panic
panic
panic
---
(pause, then clumsy picking at guitar, it's supposed to sound confused or groggy like you're just waking up)

you awaken by the campfire
hale and hearty all around
you hear singing from the campers
and this is how their song sounds:

there's monsters lurking in our campsite
but you shouldn't be afraaid
there's monsters lurking in our campsite
and i promise you they're saafe
they're somewhere out there hidden in the night
just waiting to be new friennds
they're all around us hidden in plain sight
and that's totally okaay
(melody loops one more time then trails off)

I loved the idea of trying to combine a campfire song with another big campfire thing, telling ghost stories, and the original plan was for the next two verses to also be about getting lost in different areas of the camp(a cave and a lake) and unexpectedly saved by monsters or cryptids or whatever. I also like the idea of a campfire song that's mostly calmly plucking at guitar strings but has an unexpected intense bit in the middle that's probably annoying to play and, in combination with the quickly repeating lyrics, is supposed to be like the moment when near the end of telling a scary story you just yell "boo!" to break the tension and make everyone jump.

...Also the version of the chorus at the end would've originally been at the end of a like five minute song so it'd've been less abrupt of a difference from the first one but whatever 👻
 
I apologize in advance for this absolute mess, I'm not a song writher by any means! ;~;
I'm not good with rhyming and my English is quite limited, so in this parody I mostly tried to change the Japanese lyrics to something that at least makes sense and keep the tempo of the original song, Great Days which plays in the third opening of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable. Okay this is embarrassing...

Camping, Camping, Listen
Camping, Camping, Listen
Camping, Camping
Camping, Camping
(3, 2, 1) Let's Go!

Shining sunrise lights up our heads
Brand-new day comes at the Camp Bell Tree
Everyone works with one thing in mind
To show the others their creative might
Completing tasks to earn the most points for their team

From mountain peaks (from mountain peaks)
To lush woods, into ocean depths
No guessing game can break our spirit, only one
Cabin in the end will be the winner

Let the voice of fun take you higher!
Looking back at empty days, it's so nice to have you here
2021 Event Summer
Everyone here on the Bell Tree are gonna have
Great Days!

Okay now I'm gonna go hide under a rock in embarrassment until the end of this particular event.
 
I finished my campfire song! 🥰 It's "Five Little Poliwags" sung to the tune of 5 Little Speckled Frogs.


Five Little Poliwags

Five little poliwags,
Sat ‘round a campfire log,
Eating some most delicious s’mores,
Yum yum!
One jumped into the ocean,
Where they caused a commotion,
Then there were four little poliwags.
Splish Splash!

Four little poliwags
Sat ‘round a campfire log,
Eating some most delicious s’mores,
Yum yum!
One jumped into a tree,
Where they met a little bee,
Then there were three little poliwags.
Buzz buzz!

Three little poliwags,
Sat ‘round a campfire log,
Eating some most delicious s’mores,
Yum yum!
One climbed up a mountain,
Where they found a blue fountain,
Then there were two little poliwags
Splish splash!

Two little poliwags,
Sat ‘round a campfire log,
Eating some most delicious s’mores,
Yum yum!
Then they shared some spooky stories,
And caught some fireflies,
Then there was one little poliwag.
Buzz buzz!

One little poliwag,
Sat ‘round a campfire log,
Eating some most delicious s’mores.
Yum yum!
Then they made a little wish,
For a rainbow jellyfish,
Then there were no little poliwags.
Good night!
 
I’m gonna give it a shot:
Got an invitation from a camp
To go spice up my life,
Full of adventure and prizes,
I took a boat from paradise.

On this boat a day and night,
Got no snacks to keep me tide.
Think I’ll lose my mind
If I don’t find something to satisfy.

Are we there yet?
Kapp’n are we there?
Come on~

Stepping onto island grounds
See nothing but the trees around
Closer and closer to the camp
But an ancient statue’s found

Carved into the rocks and trees
In sculptures, I can’t break the code.
Crafting up a postcard for
All the villagers back at home.

And so as you hear these words
Telling you now of my state,
I tell you to enjoy camp
I wish I could but mosquitoes!

(Also please note that this is satirical and is meant for comedy purposes only, if I need to change anything mods please let me know)
 

My lyrics:
She leads a BellTree life
She leads a BellTree life

When she starts her day
Any other way
She just can’t seem to wake up

She opens up
Her phone and thinks
Do I have more tokens

It’s not the time to slack
It’s the time to get ahead
Just cranking out the tasks
While counting coins
She’s going to earn them

All that she wants
Is campfire tokens
They're gone tomorrow, but
All that she wants
Is campfire tokens, yeah

All that she wants
Is campfire tokens
They’re gone tomorrow, but
All that she wants
Is campfire tokens, yeah
(All that she wants)
(All that she wants)

So if she does them right
And the mods say “like”
She’s got tokens and you don’t

The small number
That increases
Won’t last forever

Because she’ll spend them all on
These new camp collectibles
Then turn around and sell them, big surprise
She’s going to get them

All that she wants
Is campfire tokens
They’re gone tomorrow, but
All that she wants
Is campfire tokens, yeah

All that she wants
Is campfire tokens
They’re gone tomorrow, but
All that she wants
Is campfire tokens, yeah

All that she wants
Is campfire tokens
They’re gone tomorrow, but
All that she wants
Is campfire tokens, yeah

All that she wants
Is campfire tokens
They’re gone tomorrow, but
All that she wants
Is campfire tokens, yeah

(All that she wants)
(All that she wants)

She leads a lonely life
She leads a lonely life

When she woke up late
In the morning light
And the day had just begun

She opened up
Her eyes and thought
Oh, what a morning

It's not a day for work
It's a day for catching tan
Just laying on the beach
And having fun
She's going to get ya

All that she wants
Is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants
Is another baby, yeah

All that she wants
Is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants
Is another baby, yeah
(All that she wants)
(All that she wants)

So if you are in sight
And the day is right
She's a hunter, you're the fox

The gentle voice
That talks to you
Won't talk forever

It is a night for passion
But the morning means goodbye
Beware of what is flashing in her eyes
She's going to get ya

All that she wants
Is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants
Is another baby, yeah

All that she wants
Is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants
Is another baby, yeah

All that she wants
Is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants
Is another baby, yeah

All that she wants
Is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants
Is another baby, yeah

(All that she wants)

Set to the tune of "Camptown Races"

Camp TBT

Camp TBT sing this song,
Doo dah, doo dah
Camp TBT, 3 weeks long
Poliwags will slay!

Came here, cabin no plumbin'
Doo dah, doo dah
But at this point we're sure to win,
Pearl, we're on our way!

Melon ballers cry
Crystal ballers pray

Bet my bells on a masterpiece,
Somebody guessed before me

The Buzzy Bees and Evergreens
Doo dah, doo dah
Competition we will cream
Poliwags will slay!

Buzzy Bees fell into a big pit fall
Doo dah, doo dah
Poliwag Cabin's gonna win it all
Poliwags will slay!

Evergreens, bye-bye!
Bees, are you okay?

Bet my bells on a jar of ants,
Somebody guessed before me

Got 5K points in the bag
Doo dah, doo dah
Given' Evergreens a heart attack
Poliwags will slay!

The other teams haven't come this far
Doo dah, doo dah
Cabin 5 has set the bar
Poliwags will slay!

Other teams will fight
They're stuck in the fray

Bet my bells on a campfire song
Stuck in my head all day
 
Set to the Phineas and Ferb theme tune!

There's only twenty one days of the great Camp Bell Tree
before the closing ceremony ends it
so the greatest problem of all of the campers
is finding the best way to spend it

Like maybe...
Writing a singsong
Or doing our homework
Or counting up some cheeky ants

Discovering cryptids that shouldn't exist
Or fishing for hours and hours
Designing a cool flag
Having a camping trip
Or examining a masterpiece

Finding a hidden bird
Sending a postcard
Or driving our campmates insane!

As you can see,
There's a whole lot of stuff to do before our summer camp ends
So stick with us
'Cause the Melon Ballers are gonna win it all!
So stick with us
'Cause the Melon Ballers are gonna win it all!
 
I decided to sing and write an original and I hope you guys enjoy!


Pack your bags,
We're going on vacation.
Don't forget your snacks!
It's time for celebration.

Collecting and creating,
Earning prizes that are meant for trading,
isn't it so exciting, isn't it so inviting.
Camp TBT.

chorus:
5 cabins, 4 me and you. 3 biomes, full of so much 2 do! I can't wait to say that I have 1. But it doesn't even matter because I'm having so much fun! 5 4 3 2 1

Melon Ballers super sweet
Crystal Ballers ready to defeat
Evergreen firm like the trees
Buzzy Bees look nice but they sting

Finally there's the best of all,
fierce and fun we are the Poliwags!
There's confidence in the way we walk.
So sorry to say but trees don't evolve!

chorus
Camp TBT!


Link to my singing and melody (voice reveal 😭):
 
I gave mine a go to Saturday Night by The Bay City Rollers

All the fish in the sea
Gotta fish em up, draw em up
Poliwags wag, Poliwags wag

Campfire, I've gotta go
Poliwags wag, Poliwags wag
Gonna light it up, cook it up
Eat it all, have a marshmallow
Poliwags wag, Poliwags wag

P-O-L-I-W-A-G-S wag!

Gonna stargaze with my besties til the sun rises
Poliwags wag, Poliwags wag
Point out all the constellations together
Poliwags wag, Poliwags wag

I-I-I-I'm gonna let them know

At the good ol' Camp Bell Tree
Campfire, I've gotta go
Poliwags wag, Poliwags wag
Gonna light it up, cook it up

Come with me, come with me now
To the place where we belong

Camp Bell tree is the place to be, place to have some fun~

Come with me, come with me now, the river looks so fun. Run, run, catch that bug, run run and have some fun~

Have some fun in the sun.

Hiking through the forest, up the mountains here we go, see that glorious sea? That's the place to be.

Eat some melon, swim around, dive with me and have some fun.

Now come with me, come with me now. Camp bell tree is waiting for you and me!
