Hi everyone!
I've uploaded a song I've written to YouTube, here it is...

Here are the lyrics:
Sparlock we love you
Sparlock we do
Though you’re an evil wizard toy
We still love you
There’s no one quite like Sparlock
And I know you will agree
He always is a friend to you
And he’s a friend to me
He’s our favourite warrior wizard
He’s there in times of need
He banishes those dreaded cults
With his magic sorcery
Sparlock we love you
Sparlock we do
Though you’re in the dumpster now
We think of you
We don’t know why God hates you
Or why you make him sad
But we threw you in the garbage
For our brainwashed Mums and Dads
Sparlock we love you
Sparlock we do
(key change)
Sparlock we love you
Sparlock we do
There’s no one quite like Sparlock
He’s our favourite magic toy
He makes life that bit easier for
All the Witness girls and boys
There’s no one quite like Sparlock
With his plastic sword and shield
It’s a shame he makes Jehovah mad
Even though he isn’t real
Sparlock we love you
Sparlock we do
Though you may be magical
We still love you
Please use your magic powers
To make our parents see
There’s nothing wrong with wizard toys
They’re as harmless as can be
Sparlock we love you
Sparlock we do
Sparlock we love you
And we know you love us too

Wow, Cedars, just wow. Kudos to you. Keep up the good work. And that goes to all the rest of us here that put time and devotion into this phenomenon known as Sparlock. The WTBS tried to snuff out all the imagination out of its followers, but all of us are showing that the magic inside of us will never die. Btw, is that you singing? I always wondered if you were a chipmunk, now my theory has been laid to rest.
In there intended ambiguity in the line "even though he isn't real"?
That's awesome Cedars!
Thanks everyone!
I should point out that the melody is a rip-off of this song by the St Winifreds School Choir. So far I've had no contact from the St Winifred's solicitor claiming breach of copyright...

slimboyfat - the line about "even though he isn't real" refers to Sparlock, as per the context of the verse.

I like the song! Yes, please tell us, is that you singing? Are there any talent scouts in the area?
It's hard to get my head around the fact that this WTS dvd has been out, like, 2 minutes; most Conventions haven't happened yet, and its upcoming release elsewhere has been completely hijacked by numerous, merciless parodies and publicity across the internet, and where a fictional, animated, throw-away toy within the story has become a cult hero in its own right. Truly phenomenal.
(Funny skit, cedars, although I won't be able to get that wretched tune out of my head now!)
Quandry - I really couldn't be pressed on whether it was me singing or not, although I will admit to having bought considerable quantities of helium recently!!

How do you think I feel?! I've been listening to the song over and over again for the past 2 days while I made the video! I'm on the verge of insanity. Mrs Cedars has heard it so many times she claims I'm trying to brainwash her into loving Sparlock!!
Cedars
Yeah, I thought it was you singing. What worries me is that you do sound uncannily like that little girl in the Choir.
