"Welcome to scratch" (in case you can't tell) is going to be a parody of Bo Burnham's song "welcome to the Internet." This is a project about 5 months in the making. originally, I was just going to sing it myself, but then realized that I cant sing. and because this si something that is supposed to represent the community as a whole, I figured "why not get the community to sing it?" So Here is your chance! All you have to do is remix this project, sing the lyrics to the tune of Bo Burnham's Welcome to the Internet (the lyrics can be found in the project), put it in the project, and post in the submissions studio: https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/35805727/ submissions close once I get enough of them. everyone who makes it in will get mentioned/credited in the project itself. Bonus points to whoever gets this to people like griffpatch. I also might consider posting the final product on my YT as well (@Pumpkinheadedman on YT)
Bo Burnham for the original song. Lyrics and art by me. also credit to whoever decides to submit. While the lyrics can be found in sprite one, I'm going to post them here as well: lyrics: Welcome to Scratch, Have a look around. Anything that brain of yours can create can be found. We’ve got mountains of projects. Some better, some worse… If none of it’s of interest to you, you’re not the first. Welcome, to Scratch, Come and take a seat, Would you like to see some crappy art or an animation meme? There’s no need to panic when you try it yourself, Just remix someone else’s project, no one will tell. Welcome to Scratch, What would you prefer? Would you like to find some games, or post some comments to deter? Be happy, be funny, be totally bummed, Then be corrected and be totally dumb Welcome to Scratch, Put your skills aside. Here’s a tip for coding gravity, used about a thousand times. We’ve got game clones and remakes, some improved ones too, And a bunch of generic platformers that everyone finds fun for some reason gaining them millions of views… Welcome to Scratch. Hold on to your blocks, ‘Cause someone has kindly been reporting you around the clock. “You’ve been muted for a week.” “Oops, our mistake!” It's not like your entire reputation’s at stake. Play something new created, Play a second, “new high score!” Make and post a project, now you’re in a content war. 10 megabytes of audio, Join every single studio, “Turbowarp required,” you’re favorite Scratcher has retired, and… 300 is the clone limit, you’ve got 3 frames, no more. Join the trend that’s been used over a million times before. Why is this code not working? What kind of math is this? You followed the tutorial and now you’re project’s on the fritz. Could I interest you in everything, All of the time? A little bit of everything, all of the time? 50 views’ a tragedy, no favorites is a crime. Anything and everything, all of the time. Could I interest you in everything, All of the time? A little bit of everything, all of the time? 50 views’ a tragedy, no favorites is a crime. Anything and everything, all of the time. You know… things could have been worse… Not very long ago, just before your time… Just before iPhones were made, before 2009. The stage was left, No content theft, Scratch 1.0. Teens set their sights and spent their nights. Coding… For views, views, those well-deserved views. You open it up for school, The site was barely 2. And it did all the things, MIT wanted it to. Now look at you. Oh. Look at you, you, you. You genius, you. The time is now, The program’s out. Oh, how it grew! And if you stick to your roots, Who knows what you’ll do! It was always the plan, To put ideas in your hands. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA Could I interest you in everything, All of the time? A bit of everything, all of the time? 50 views’ a tragedy, no favorites is a crime. Anything and everything, all of the time. Could I interest you in everything, All of the time? A little bit of everything, all of the time? 50 views’ a tragedy, no favorites is a crime. Anything and everything, And anything and everything And anything and everything All of the time.
