The Lyrics

Another song in my collection of parodies from my project titled; Prospects in Perspective. They're all fangirlishly twisted for my favorite fictional men. Other songs in the collection include; Raoul is the Music in Me, On the Ship Where Carth Lives, A Heart Full of Guy, Uptown Doc, Hey There Fiyero, The Hobbit and I, All For Tristan, Chase Means More to Me, and Can't Stop a Titan.
I understand that this is sort of a spin off of Weird Al's 'Ode to a Superhero,' which means it's like a parody of a parody. Oooh, the irony!
Poor farmboy Eragon was pitiful,
He couldn't get any lamer,
And Paolini's book was shrunk to half it's size,
To make the tale a lot tamer.

La li la, li de da,
La la, li le la da dum.

But then Eragon went out to catch some dinner,
Found a blue shiny rock instead,
Oh and now Eragon feels like he's a big winner,
Though Durza sure wants the boy dead.

Save us from doom, you're the Rider now,
Save us from Urgals and Shades,
'Cause Galbatorix's lines are just sissy-like whines,
But power still thrives in his blade.

Now Murty the shamed is a friend of his,
And so is the red-headed girl.
To the fans great surprise, Arya's ears were resized,
And the dwarves don't exist anymore.

Oh, la la la, di de da,
La la, di di da da dom.

The kid wants you to know, he's all seventeen years,
Though Brom's huge mistake's a wrong guess,
Still boy and man bond and as Eragon fears,
Brom takes one for him in the chest.

Ajihad's a sight in his armor there,
As he sends Morzan's son to the cage,
But Murtagh's got feelings and bravely he dares,
To love Nasuada anyway.

In the sky, Durza's made a big black dragon beast,
I guess Rider's aren't really that great,
'Cause just anyone can conjure a dragon from smoke,
Poor Eragon's facing defeat.

Oh la la la, di de da,
La la, di di, da da dum,

Save us from doom, you're the rider now,
Save us from sad Mary-Sues
'Cause you're strong with the E branded into your palm,
And Galby will soon get his dues.

It's a lousy excuse of a battle scene,
There's no gems to break in the sky,
And the pain from the flame we can hear in the screams,
Of the underpaid falling stunt guys.

Oh, and Arya's all hot for the Rider boy,
She flirts like a girl in first grade,
Oh, fans don't you cry, I don't think that they'll try,
To get the next sequel tape made.

Save us from doom, you're the rider now,
Save us at once from the pain,
Of bad movies that last little more than an hour,
How will Fox carry on with the shame?
I wasn't entirely sure where the 'la di da' parts went, but just sing it in your head however it works for you.
Note; I took time, patience, and that rare thing I call my spare brain activity to write this. Please do not steal! Feel free to sing, redistribute, and spread the general insanity if you like, but be sure to give me credit for the parody. =) Thank you. My Quizilla

I must admit I'm a little disappointed. I was hoping this would be about a dragonrider from Pern.

Again, a few generous heapings of pacing problems, but since this is a harder song to parody I gave you a 4 on it. So a 454 for My Quizilla.
