Just as the thread title says. Lyrics should follow the melody like a vocal track. Would be cool if they could loosely follow the theme of the game, but funny is good, too.
Provide a link to the SID with SID Find and let us know the subtune if applicable:
http://www.c64.org/sidfind/ so people here can easily "sing along"!
I'll come up with something, too...

Been trying to get hold of you Steve
The lyrics I made Boz sing
Yes, I remember those.I did some soppy lyrics for "Storm" as well... Tonka himself said they DIDN'T make him want to vomit, which was nice. [edit] And lyrics in Spellbound, too, that I forced on Visa Roster...
Ben Daglish hit me because I rhymed "magic" with "tragic"

Do you have the lyrics written down somewhere, Chris? Now my interest is piqued!

Ok, here's the PDF...

Bit of background: originally for the St. Luke's concert, Rob was meant to be joining SID80s in a medley of Nemesis the Warlock, Zoids, and Spellbound. Eventually this got kicked, since Rob couldn't join, and Nemesis and Zoids were too hard to learn, or something. The Spellbound lyrics here got into the BIT Live version you hear occasionally on Slay Radio, and on the DVD.
The comedy highlight is the Zoids vocal part, which Boz sang in one of his shows, the only time it's been performed live.

Very professional! ....but then you ARE a professional, so what am I saying...
"Hubb Hubb Hub - bard - y - Hub Hub - bard - y - Hub - bard - y - Hub Hubb Hubb Hub - bard - y -"
Now that's something made for Boz!
"Boz Bozzy boz-boz-boz..." (to the tune of Oh! Susanna)
Thanks for sharing!
