I Want It Back

Me2 created a neat little song about the off-map adventures of King’s Quest 8. It is written to the lyrics of the “I Want It Back” song by Shawn Colvin.

KING’S QUEST 8’S
“I WANT IT BACK”
BY ME2

I lost the light, I lost the map
Ain’t just a feeling, it’s a fact
I had it once, I was on track
I climbed a wall, It all went black …

I read right through my “moe”gazine
It told me nothing ’bout “off the screen”
I told my friends on the message board
Oh such excitement! I knew I’d scored.

I mighta killed an ant or two
But now I don’t know WHAT to do!
I jumped a cliff, fell through the air
I hit the bottom (CRUNCH!!) Oh what despair!

I want it back …

Dived off a tower in DOD
A gaping chasm I there did see
I fell and fell, and then went splat
“The Enlightened One” is now quite flat.

This is for real! I am not bluffing
Although I didn’t mean to do nuffin’
Some people wonder if I really did it
Yes! I lost my map! I must admit it.

I want it back …

I can’t give up, I love it so
I use cheat codes that you don’t know
Lost in the Swamp, and in the Gnome
I don’t care how, Just take me home

Stood by a rock in Paradise
Flipped up a mountain — it felt so nice!
I’d sell my soul — it’s come to that
If only I could find my map!

I want it back …
