Thanks to those who attended last Sunday’s event, it was a fantastic evening.
Would daenerys and the targaryend consider playing these? (Sorry for not resistent the urge to repost)
Had some positive response on my Coldplay inspired “Flayin’ Alive” effort by Ramsey and Theon. (See comment section http://watchersonthewall.com/the-cast-of-game-of-thrones-goes-musical-for-red-nose-day/)
So got inspired to do another one. based on “the gift” here is Sam (As Beyoncé) and Gill-Y (as Jay Z) doing their version of “crazy in love”
“Crazy In Love”i
(feat. Gill-Y)
[Intro:]
[Gill-Y:]
Yes!
It’s so crazy right now!
Most incredibly, it’s ya bae, Sam.
It’s ya bae, boy.
[Sam:]
You ready?
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh no no
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh no no
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh no no
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh no no
[Gill-Y:]
Yea, Westeros in the making,
Season 5, it’s so crazy right now
[Verse 1: Sam]
I looked and stared into your Wildling eyes,
Then these bros came for some sexy time
wanted to fight – you told me not to go
Lucked out with help of some dog called ghost
But I was winning as I tried to explain,
Still you saying my pride is the one to blame.
‘Cuz I clearly can’t swing a sword with either hand.
But your love just clearly wants to make me pretend.
[Chorus: Sam]
Got me acting so crazy right now, (you are)’
Wildling from a keep blond the wall
Tarly coming to save you right now
Even with my legs shaking right now (in love)
Love you more than on paper right now (i am)
Wasted Cuz they got me beat on the ground
Acting so crazy in love’s
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love.
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh no no
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh no no
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh no no
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh no no
[Verse 2: Sam (Gill-Y):]
When I talk to my brothers quietly,
Who she think she is? What the Wildling done to me,
You sweep the floors oh so adequately
You sow this crow’s clothes make it look easy
The way you made me break the vows I once knew,
book pages I skip while staring you,
But I still don’t understand,
Just how your love can do what no one else can.
[Chorus: Sam]
Got me looking so crazy right now, (your touch)
Willy feels kinda shaky right now, (not sure)
I know where to place it right now
Can’t believe what George called it right now (tell me!)
Can’t believe I got laid just right now (your love’s)
got me breaking all of my vows (oh my)
Acting so crazy in love’s
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love.
[Verse 3: Gill-Y:]
Check it, let’s go
I’m tough coz you know I grew up in the Keep
Craster’s daughter, but still keeping it real, (oh my)
share daddy issues, but those are just our least woes.
You’re Sam the Slayer, no halfling with hairy toes,
You kick white walker butt with dragon glass
Be proud brother shake that dragon ass.
But your best weapon is a fat pink mast. (oh my!)
You give the best lovin’ I ever had.
Tough like Tormund, but cwith bears I don’t sleep
Rabbits beyond the wall is all I keep,
Gill-Y flower, crazy and deranged,
They can’t figure me out they like hey is she insane, (oh my)
No commander I don’t wear no black,
I survived mole’s town so cut me some slack.
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh no no
Been dealing with white walkers,
I prefer my Sam to all these smooth talkers
(Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh no no)
He’ll care for my babe till the game’s over,
(Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh no no)
Sam II, one day will grow and sit the iron throne
(Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh no no)
By Book 7 the game’s been wrap, One!
[Bridge: Sam]
Got me feeling, a player, my baby
I’m not myself, lately, i’m bookish, I don’t do this,
We’re not showing skin, baby but I don’t care
‘Cuz wildlings know nothing on underwear,
Gilly you’re making a man out of me,
Daddy would not believe it even if he could see,
‘Cuz baby you got me, you got me, so crazy baby
HEY!
[Chorus: Sam:]
Don’t think of being a Maester right now
Won’t be building my chain just right now
Wanna be saving your baby right now
Got me thinking I’ll take you down south
Got to think I’m a player right now (your love’s)
Doin’ fifty shades of Baelish right now, (in love)
Acting so crazy in love,
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love.
Got me acting so crazy right now, (our love’s)
Made “inside the episode” now (in love)
Don’t touch on all that rapin’ right now
ENuf’ debate with the people online
Want to care for your baby right now
Why that kid still not aging right now
Acting so crazy in love,
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love.
