Lyon Among Wolves

John Lyon fears no werewolves

Listen to/download the song ---> The Efts - Lyon Among Wolves

John "Baby Toes" Lyon is a great friend of mine. We've spent many many hours together playing video games (mostly WoW) and laughing at everything around us. During the heyday of my ownership of Wild Wonderful Video Games, we were part of a large crew of folks that played WoW together. John's playing style was unique, mostly due to his craptastic laptop. He had no spacebar, no enter key, and several other keys were also missing. His system was constantly overheating due to being woefully undergeared for WoW so he played with a huge box fan next to him. At best, his screen showed four frames per second. Even with all of these handicaps, he completely dominated the rest of us. We all assumed he had some kind of extra-sensory perception or something. Needless to say, his WoW prowess demanded a song so here it is.

Lyrics:

Never needed a spacebar
Never needed an enter key
Only four frames per second
Borrows from his ESP.
You can try to escape him.
You can try to get away.
You can hide in a corner.
He will be there waiting for you.

Like a lion among the wolves
He will prey upon the predators.

Cools his system with box fans
Knows the ends will justify the means
He will dominate your LAN.
Is he man or is he part machine?
Like a lion among the wolves
He will prey upon the predators
Like a lion among the wolves
He will stand while we all fall

Ring of Fire


Camping in Dolly Sods 1994

Listen to the song ---> The Efts - Ring of Fire
YouTube version ---> Ring of Fire - The Efts

I've never tried karaoke. Lolo and I have discussed our options and I decided I'd probably go with the Social Distortion version of Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire for my first karaoke attempt. Subsequent discussions with Dylan and Deanie brought to my attention that maybe doing a cover song would be fun. So here's my attempt at covering the only song to which I can comfortably remember the lyrics (which is the primary reason for this being my main karaoke choice).

Please leave a comment for The Efts about this song.
