First time playing The Shape and this is all I could think of… (Sound on)
[Edit: Improved widescreen version with lyrics here]
Proposed lyrics for The Merkins’ parody song:
Not Stayin’ Alive
Well, you can tell by the way I use my stalk,
I’m a slashin’ man, and I don’t talk
Music chilling, blood is warm,
I’ve been slayin’ teens since I was born.
And now it’s all right. It’s OK.
And you may run the other way.
We can try to understand
My kitchen knife’s effect on man.
Whether you’re a Nea
Or whether you’re Zarina
You ain’t stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Feel the pallets breakin’
And everybody achin’,
You ain’t stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Na, na, na, not, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Na, na, na, not, stayin’ alive.
Well, now, I stalk low and I stalk high,
And if I can’t get line ‘o sight, I really try.
Got Evil Within in my shoes.
I’m a slashin’ man and I just can’t lose.
You know it’s all right. It’s OK.
You won’t live to see another day.
We can try to understand
My kitchen knife’s effect on man.
Whether you’re an Elodie
Or whether you’re a Laurie
You ain’t stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Feel the pallets breakin’
And everybody achin’,
You ain’t stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Na, na, na, not, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Na, na, na, not, stayin’ alive.
You’re goin’ nowhere. No-one can help you.
No-one can help you, yeah.
You’re goin’ nowhere. No-one can help you.
Not stayin’ alive.
Well, you can tell by the way I use my stalk,
I’m a slashin’ man, and I don’t talk
Music chilling, blood is warm,
I’ve been slayin’ teens since I was born.
And now it’s all right. It’s OK.
And you may run the other way.
We can try to understand
My kitchen knife’s effect on man.
Whether you’re a Quentin
Or whether you’re an Adam
You ain’t stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Feel the pallets breakin’
And everybody achin’,
You ain’t stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Na, na, na, not, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Na, na, na, not, stayin’ alive.
You’re goin’ nowhere. No-one can help you.
No-one can help you, yeah.
You’re goin’ nowhere. No-one can help you.
Not stayin’ alive.
You’re goin’ nowhere. No-one can help you.
No-one can help you, yeah.
You’re goin’ nowhere. No-one can help you.
Not stayin’ alive.
