Another parody. This one might not be as familiar to some of you younger guys.

Caps and the Carnage a parody of Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin

A challenge arrived just the other day
They came to the party in the usual way
But there were flags to cap and LANs to play
They beat some guys while I was away
And they were talkin' 'fore I knew it, as noobies do
They said "We wanna frag you too, yeah
You know we're gonna frag you too"

And the caps and the carnage and the Halo moon
Team killing nOObs in their warthog crew
Gonna try to cap, lad?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

We accepted the challenge just the other day
"To the tanks and the hogs lads, come on let's play"
"Want the respawns to grow?" They said "Not today"
"We've gotta lot of noobs" I said "That's okay"
And we began the game, but their smiles never dimmed
They said "We're gonna cap and win, yeah
We know we're gonna cap and win"

And the caps and the carnage and the Halo moon
Team killing nOObs in their warthog crew
Gonna try to cap, lad?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

Well we dealt out some carnage just the other day
So much like a spank I just had to say
"Son, you guys are nOObs, should you game with the Pile?"
He nodded his head and said with a smile
"What we'd really like, Chuck, is a Sidewinder map key."
Where's the blue base, can you show us please?"

And the caps and the carnage and the Halo moon
Team killing nOObs in their warthog crew
Gonna try to cap, lad?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

My gun's just been fired, and the nOOb's blown away
We kicked their butts in a wicked way
They said, "Another respawn screen, I'll lose my mind!"
I said, "I love to frag, but can you lose the whine?"
"You see you can't use the pistol, and you're flat-footed too"
"But it's sure nice walking on you, lads"
"It's been real nice teaching you school."

When I saw the carnage report, it was clear to me
Why I'd heard them scream
Screaming at the respawn screen

And the caps and the carnage and the Halo moon
Team killing nOObs in their warthog crew
Gonna try to cap, lad?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

another good job by chuckles, do you happen to be in the maximum 15 chapters? I would like to have you as a member of my chapter (Legendary Halo Masters). Sent you a message other day, I will be posting links to your content on my chapter as you gave me permission to do, but even if you're just active over there I'd know I had a good member on board that might help me when I need it

Just in time to cash in on the Harry Chapin craze.
