The Lyrics

2800TH PARODY, Y'ALL! And as is my tradition, I have taken a song I parodied back when I was stupid and inexperienced and re-parody along a vaguely similar topic. Last time I made a little tribute to one of my favourite Flash cartoons. This time, let's broaden the scope a tad
Ooh, oh-ooh-ooh

Do you remember now
All of those internet cartoons?
The fightin' stick figure ones
Or badgers and mushrooms and snakes in a loop
Each one was sillier
Than the one that you saw last time
But now they're all history
For some that's "in the past", others that's "gone bye-bye"

So much fun back then viewin' all that stupid crap
Always loved to be seein' all that mindless pap (that mindless pap)
Kinda wish that more of it had withstood
Feels like that time's gone for good 'cause they worked in Flash

When time was wastable
There was AlbinoBlacksheep's list
Of nonsense put on show
Back when 480p was a pipe-dream at best
Sometimes I wouldn't watch
I would play 'til I cramped both hands
But since I shared that PC
I couldn't bookmark 'em so they're lost to time's sands

What the hell was I doin'? Was it platform crap (jumpin' crap)?
Can't recall much, I wonder if they're still intact (are they intact?)
But I doubt that 'cause the structure's no good
Not as sturdy as redwood, no, they worked in Flash

I could watch reuploads, make me feel sad (honestly blue)
Quality blows, audio's so crunchy (so damn crunchy)
They probably always sounded like that
That's how they worked in Flash

Sure, the humour was stupid but I still miss that
Crude and gory and puerile, kinda still miss that (oh-oh yeah-eah-heah)
So close to my heart, closer than they should (to my heart)
A tale that does not end good (ooh-eh-eh-eh, ooh-eh-eh-eh-heh-eh) since they murdered Flash
Kinda only see Homestar Runner these days, man (seriously, man)
He's the one real survivor that I know of, damn (that I know of, damn)
And I still laugh hard ev'ry rewatch, good (still so friggin' good)
Proof that you can still stay put when you worked in Flash
I still long for that feelin' as a teenage lad (oh-oh-ooh yeah)
Fightin' off boredom from the loadin' times and ads (all those awful ads)
I would not be shocked if you understood
How that feelin' feels so good when things worked in Flash

At some point I do need to do a proper Homestar tribute. Not just little vignettes from the perspective of the characters. Anyways, back on the road to 3000 I go!

D'oh! I meant 2900th. Stupid copy 'n' paste intro for my milestones.

I used to play Flash games pretty regularly too — this was before I had ever heard of the song “Rhythm Steps”, by the way. I played “Exit Path” quite often, right up until the end of Flash in December 2020. Maybe you should do a parody about the Chinese train station that temporarily shut down in January 2021 — because its system was running on — you guessed it — Flash.

Maybe a bit too niche a subject for a parody (which sounds a bit hypocritical coming from me but I have some standards) but maybe an interesting thing to research - if only in the vein of "how in the hell does THAT work". Cheers for the memories!
