A Great Man - Song #26

A Great Man by Rich Baker

(spoken)
This song is about a topic that many have written songs about before. It’s a song about a man. A man who changed the lives of millions. And although he can cause controversy sometimes, I believe his message is for us to all get along in peace. His earthly father raised him as best he cold despite knowing that he was not the boy’s real father.

This song is about a man who made the miraculous normal. He helped everyone he could. And his enemies wanted him dead at all cost.

This is a song about a man who stands for hope and freedom. A man who died only to come back from the grave in order to save us all. A man known by one symbol universally recognized by billions.

(singing begins)
You came to earth to save us
You came here to defend
We know of your strength
And you will fight to the very end

Some do not believe in you
Some think you’re a lie
Others love and worship you
And lift you up on high…because you can fly

(Chorus)
You know I’m talkin’ ‘bout Superman!
Better than the rest
My man Superman!
With the big ‘S’ on his chest

You fight Lex Luthor and Toyman
Brainiac, Bizarro, and Parasite
Occasionally you fight gods like Darkseid
And big brained apes like Ultra-Humanite

Your friends with all the Justice League
And closest with Batman Bruce Wayne
You keep an intergalactic zoo in your Fortress of Solitude
And you’re married to Lois Lane

(Chorus)
You know I’m talkin’ ‘bout Superman!
Who’s in the very best of shape
My man Superman!
Wearing that flowing red cape

(Bridge)
I know you’re not impossible to kill
Even though you are the man of steel
Kal-El from Krypton would never lose the fight
Unless poisoned from too much Kryptonite
Since 1938 you’ve fought fervently
Among the pages of comics from DC
You got too silly for a while with all different kinds
Of marriages and pets and sidekick story lines
But in the 80s just like a magic wand
Everything was fixed when you were retconned (RetCon or Retroactive Continuity means than an author intentionally alters facts once established for a work of serialized fiction)

(Chorus)
You know I’m talkin’ ‘bout Superman!
He’s the man, don’t you know?
My man Superman!
With a superdog at his side named Krypto
You know I’m talkin’ ‘bout Superman!
When it comes to heroes, he’s second to none
My man Superman!
Who gets strong absorbing up our yellow sun
Superman!

Geek Sheik - Song #7

Geek Sheik by Rich Baker (Rap)

I am Geek Sheik. King of the Nerds
Here’s my theseauras where I come up with words
Wanna know about me? Can you handle it?
Sit back and hear the rhymes that I spit!

I gotta solid gold Xbox with spinner rims
A diorama of the Secret of NIMH
The original screenplay from Episode IV
I collect more rings than the Green Lantern Corps

All the chicks line up in Wonder Woman tights
With my infared telescope I’ve got you in my sights
Girl, you very fine with your Lois Lane looks
Wanna make love to you on a bed of comic books

(Chorus)
I’m Geek Sheik livin’ large
Like Scott Baio on Charles in Charge
I’m Geek Sheik you better know what’s what
I’m livin’ phat like Jaba the Hut

I’ll take you to magical places like when Dorothy was dreamin’
Get with me and your emoticons will be screamin’
I’ll please you girl and you’ll like it a lots
Brace yourself for 1.21 Gigawatts!

I’m so good I can explain the full plot to Lost. It’s so hectic
Without a calculator I can convert standard to metric
I’m the chessmaster commanding the pawns
Want to hear a sonnet translated into Klingon?

I tear up the dance floor like Napoleon Dynamite
I quote old kitch films like Rad and Dolemite
I collect toys from old Happy Meals
I’m awkward at street slang fo’ reelz!

C’mon girl, it’s time to get naughty
I got all the cheat codes to your body
Get with me, baby and I’ll rock your world
It’d be almost as good as a five way with all four Golden Girls

I get down in between your thighs
Let me dock my starshsip enterprise
I’ll have you screamin’ for more, more, more, mordor…and the eye of saramon
You’ll be my Prescious!

I don’t go to dance clubs or hang out in bars
If I wanna leave the house I borrow my mom’s car
Ain’t no part time fanboy I’m king don’t you see?
All bow down I am the final fantasy!

(Chorus)
I’m Geek Sheik like Bill Gates
Girl you’re like a verb I wanna conjugate
I’m Geek Sheik like Steve Jobs
In the realm of nerds I’m the head of the mob

(Bridge)
I write computer code for my salary
My best friend online is from Calgary
My kryptonite is my allergies
Farmer’s Lung is the name of a real malady
Love songs are usually ballady
Wouldn’t mind hookin’ up with a Valkyrie
The Microsoft Paperclip is a pal to me
All the other nerds in the world shall bow to me

(Chorus)
I’m Geek Sheik and everybody knows
My BluRay Player has every MST3K show
I’m Geek Sheik yeah that’s me
I haven’t seen the sun in three weeks
I’m Geek Sheik
I’m Geek Sheik
Geek Sheik!
