Ladies and gentlemen, I'M REJECTFUL...

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 12 Dec 2011, 23:15

... by Phoenix, based on the lyrics of the song "You're beautiful" by James Blunt. The idea for this came from a conversation I was having with Ferrim. I accepted the challenge and I came up with this. Enjoy (or not...)!

My car's not brilliant
My car's not brilliant
I'm slow for sure
I saw an angel
Of that I'm sure
She don't smile at me in the boxes
She was with Nigel Mansell
But I won't lose no sleep on that
Cause I don't have good car

I'm rejectful
I'm rejectful
I'm rejectful, it's true

I saw my times on a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I will never be with them
Yes, I caught no eye
As I flounced on by
They could see from my face
That I was bathplug slow
And I don't think that I'll be at it again (My money ran out)
But we shared a moment that'll last all weekend

I'm rejectful
I'm rejectful
I'm rejectful, it's true

There must be an angel with a smile on her face
When she thought up that I should be on the grid
But it's time to face the truth
I will never be on the grid

Here's my rendition of Smells Like Teen Spirit, as a tribute to AGS, since they don't have a profile

Oh AGS, was a fail
Streiff did his best to no avail
Nobody gave, them a chance
They are the worst team hailed from France

Reject drivers
Were a plenty
Yannick Dalmas
And Tarquini
Their non-reject
Was Capelli
But at least they
Beat Coloni
Scored a point thanks
To Moreno
From attrition?
Oh I think so

That's all i've got. This could be an interesting thread.

Ferrim · Post by **Ferrim** » 12 Dec 2011, 23:42

I'm working on my own version as well. Mine will follow the line "you're rejectful".

The idea came to me this evening. I was on the way to university, listening to the radio, and they played "You're beautiful". I remembered the version by Weird Al Yankovic, "You're pitiful", which is fantastic (you can hear it if you click here), and I thought we could work out a "You're rejectful" version. A few possible lines came to my mind, like "You believe you are fast, but you DNQ" towards the end of the song, but I basically forgot about it until the conversation that Phoenix was talking about.

I've been writing a few more lines, and it looks good so far, but it's far from completed. I'm a bit of a perfectionist so it might take a while, and now I'm going to bed, but I'll keep thinking about it

I decided to give "Copperhead Road" the Formula One treatment. Predictably, it didn't end well:

Well my name's Dan Sam Mel-e-rose
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw Jim Clarky down here
He only came to town about twice a year
He'd buy hundred pounds of 'luminum and Cosworth fire
Everybody knew that he made hell fire
Now the Lotus man wanted Jim Clarky bad
He headed up the holler with everything he had
It's before my time but I've been told
He never came back from Monaco Road

Now Daddy ran Team Lotus in a big black Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge
John Players Special painted on the side
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin' sound
Well the 'fficial came around in the middle of the night
Heard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right
He was headed down to Carlo with the yearly load
You could smell the tyres burnin' down Monaco Road

I volunteered for the drive on my birthday
They draft the pay driver first,'round here anyway
I done two tours of duty with Mercedes
And I came home with a brand new plan
I take the bits from Germany and Aussieland
I built it up the holler down Monaco Road
Well the MRT's got a car in the air
I wake up screaming like I'm back over there
I learned a thing or two from ol' Stoddy don't you know
You cannot stay away from Monaco Road

Monaco Road
Monaco Road
Monaco Road

A morning through the eyes of an unkown competitor taking part in Prequalifying
(To Rebecca Black's Friday)
(Bear in mind I've not listened to this song in its entirity, so If i get it wrong, you'll understand why)

Seven AM
Waking Up in the morning
Gotta be quick
Gotta find downforce
gotta have "gumballs" (bonus points for those who know what THIS meant back in the day)
gotta have v8 roar
In a Eurobrun
and time is goin tickin on and on
everybodys rushin
gotta slow down for the bus stop
damn thing is a bus
I see my friends

'guri in a Zakspeed
Gachot at Coloni
Gotta make my mind up
which seat can i buy?

It's friday, friday
gotta be quick for friday
everybody's going quicker at the weekend, weekend
its friday, friday
laying rubber down on friday
everybodys quicker than me this weekend

Moneytron, Moneytron (Rial)
Moneytron, Moneytron (Rial)
Life, Life, Life, struggling for the weekend

Moreno Fastest, bathplug
Today i-is Friday, Friday (DNP')
Tarquini's so excited
He's so excited, He's going to make it through today
Tomorrow is Saturday And Sunday comes after ... wards
But, I don't want this weekend to end.

(and thats as far as i can go without hanging myself)

I'll take a risk of taking one of all-time classics and give it a F1 Rejects treatment. Oh dear.

Formula One Rhapsody
Operetta in three plus acts
Lyrics by Pointrox and ADx_Wales

ACT 1: PAYDRIVER
Is this the real LIFE?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a sandtrap, no escape from rejectity.
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see.
I'm just a pay-driver, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, mostly low.
Anyway the cash comes
Doesn't really matter to me, to me.

ACT 2 VERSE 1: SCOTT SPEED
Mama I lost my drive
Got knocked out by Franz Tost
Said bad words - my seat is lost
Mama, career's just begun
But now I'm done and thrown it all away.
Mama, ooh, didn't mean to end like this,
If I'm not back in F1 - I'm out of biz,
USA, coming home, as if Europe doesn't matter.

ACT 2 VERSE 2: NELSINHO PIQUET
Too late, Briatore's dumb.
Left Hungary in no time, Heart is aching from this crime
Goodbye Flav's dogsbodies, I've got to go.
Got to leave you in the lurch and tell the truuuuth.
Ma-Mo*, Coooooooooooup, I dont want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never hit sing'pore waaallll
(guitar solo)

ACT 3: YUJI IDE
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can boot me with no time to decide?
Oh, Bernie, can't do this to me, Bernie,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here.

ACT 4: PAYDRIVER'S REPRISE
Nothing really matters, anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me.
Anyway the cash comes.

* Ma-Mo: Max Mosley, you see what ADx_Wales did there?

You missed the second verse of Act 2!

Act 2 Second Verse
Nelson Piquet Junior

Too late, Briatore's dumb.
Left Hungary in no time, Heart is aching from this crime
Goodbye Flav's dogsbodies, I've got to go.
Got to leave you in the lurch and tell the truuuuth.
Ma-Mo, Coooooooooooup, I dont want to die (Ma-Mo:max moseley, you see what I did there)
I sometimes wish Id never hit sing'pore waaallll
(guitar solo)

Pointrox · Post by **Pointrox** » 13 Dec 2011, 15:41

Epic!
If you don't mind, I'll put it where it belongs.
We just need the opera bit ("little silhouetto of a man" reminds me of Bernie if you catch my drift)

Design for Life (or lack thereof)

We would like some power
then FIRST failed and gave it free
what price now for this W12 to work for me

I wish I had the bottle
Right here in thirty-third place
To race the cars
To show from where I came

We dont talk about judd, we only want to get last
And we are not allowed to spend
and we are told that bernie's our friend

A design for Life x4

I think we hired "wrong" Brabham
He's not quick as it would seem
He's got the cash
Poor, show of form, in thirty nine.

We dont talk about judd, we only want to get last
And we are not allowed to spend
as we are told that bernie's our friend

A design for Life x4

Now Jack-O has experience
But he's not quick as Brabham-G
W12 is trash
Poor, show of form, garbage-can

We'll now talk about Judd, we dont want to get last
but we are not allowed to spend.
And tell that short git that he's not our friend.

A design for Life x4

We've not got a fast judd, we've melted the dub-twelve
the debt collector's stole our pens
and bernies a bathplug we wont speak again

A design for Life x4

Deletraz, to the tune of Fools Gold by The Stone Roses

We don't know what he's doing
Weaving in and out across the track
Larrousse must have been so desperate
The cash couldn't save the team from death
We don't know what he's doing
Weaving in and out across the track
Larrousse must have been so desperate
The cash couldn't save the team from death

He's a clown, he'll make you frown
He'll drive unless his cash supply drops straight down
Down Down Down Down Da-down Down Down
Down Down Down Down Da-down Down Down

He's driving alone
In 24th place
Dead last for Pacific
He's driving alone
In 24th place
Dead last for Pacific
Too slow

Carwash is Nuvolari
Roebuck says just compared to Deletraz
Retirement's around the corner
Gachot want his rightful race seat back

Schumi and Jean Alesi were the focus
Walker clearly cares what they were doing

Down Down Down Down Da-down Down Down

He's driving alone
In 24th place
Dead last for Pacific
He's driving alone
In 24th place
Dead last for Pacific
Too slow

It's a goodun, my favourite is either that or I am the Resurrection.

Don't know why I chose it as a base song. But it works.

I was also a member at the same forum where 'frongor' originally posted his Minardi song. Whereas he made his in 2004, I did mine a year or so later on.
The song is Purify by Metallica. In itself a horrible song if you ask me, but altering the lyrics a little made it more enjoyable.

I attempted to make something out of the Madness song, Lola, but unfortunately could only come up with a few lines before losing concentration

Enjoy the complete rejectfulness of it all!

I met her at a track down in Huntingdon
Where they had a nice car marked as Luca Badoer's
Luca, Luca, Badoer

She walked up to me and she asked me to drive
I asked her her name and in a very nice voice she said, Lola
L-o-l-a Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Well, I’m not the world’s most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight, she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola L-o-l-a Lola

And I’m not dumb but I can’t understand
Why she acts like a monkey but talks like a girl
Lola L-o-l-a Lola la-la-la-la Lola

We drank champagne and danced all night
For no apparent reason at all
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said, Ricardo, won't you drive me to victory!

Well, I’m not the world’s most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes I fell for my Lola
L-o-l-a Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola L-o-l-a Lola la-la-la-la Lola

I got in right away
I hit the ignition
I hit the damn wall
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me

THE REJECTFUL ONES
(set and based on Creedence Clearwater Revival's Fortunate Son)

Some folks are born to take that flag
The black & white checkered one
And then when the anthem finishes
They spray the champagne like mad, Lord

That ain't us, well, that ain't us, we're the cash-strapped ones, oh yeah
Oh, that ain't us, that ain't us, we're the slow ones, yeah, Lord

Some of our drivers, they're born silver spoon in hand
They help themselves, Lord
But when they step in that car,
They ain't got no talent at all, yeah

Well that's us, that's us, we're the ones with the blown up engines, yeah
That's us, that's us, we're the ones with the psycho team bosses, yeah

McLaren's got 100 mechanics
With the tobacco money pouring in, Lord
And when their drivers ask, "How should we drive?"
Ooh, their chiefs only answer faster, faster, faster, yeah

That ain't us, that ain't us, we're the sponsorless ones, yeah
That ain't us, that ain't us, we're the backmarkers, yeah, yeah.
That ain't us, that ain't us, we're the rejectful ones, yeah
That ain't us, that ain't us, we're the pre-qualifying ones, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, yeah, I was jealous so I made this
(sing to LCD Soundsystem´s Losing my Edge)

LOSING MY SEAT

I´m losing my seat
I´m losing my seat
The kids are coming up from behind

I´m losing my seat
I´m losing my seat
To the kids from Gp2 and F.Renault

But I was there,
I was there in 1982 at the last Fittipaldi race, in Las Vegas

I´m losing my seat
I´m losing my seat
To the kids with sunglasses, and millions in their pockets

I´m losing my seat
To the youtube seekers who can tell me
every good driver, and every good car from 1962 to 1978

I´m losing my seat
I´m losing my seat
To the drivers from India and from Spain,
with their swimming pool parties, and cool watches from the unremembered 70s

But I´m losing my seat
I´m losing my seat
But I was there!

I was there, but I was there

I´m losing my seat
I´m losing my seat
I can hear their engines, every sunday behind the barrier

But I was there!
I was there in 1990 when Life tried to start their engine, in Phoenix
I worked hard on the design, for Ernesto.

I was there, when Deletraz made his debut,
I told him: “You´ve got to go slower, or you´ll never finish a race”

I was there, I was the first guy trying that mirror, for Eifelland,
it was at Nurburgring, everybody thought it was crazy, we all know.

I was there, I was there.

I never got wrong,
I used to work at the pitbox
I saw everything, before anyone

I was there, at the barrier in Hockenheim in 1982, watching Piquet and Salazar,
I was there in Brazil watching a Pacific lapped for the sixth time,
I woke up naked in am empty pit garage in Germany after Forti left F1.

But I´m losing my seat
To better looking drivers, with better hands and more talent
And they´re actually really, really nice

I´m losing my edge
I´ve heard you played this videogame,
it has every good car, ever done by anybody
every great track in Japan, all of their variations,
all of the Niki Lauda helmets
I´ve heard you have a steering wheel
Signed by Graham Hill in London,
I´ve heard that you have a helmet
which Jim Clark gave you personally, in 1962 or 63 or 64
I´ve heard that you have a DVD compilation
of every official review made by the FIA

I hear that you´re buying a new Mercedes, with manual gears
Because you want to drive something real, you want to drive a gentlemen car

I hear that you, and your crew, have sold your Mercedes, and bought a Nissan
I hear that you, and your crew, have sold your Nissan, and bought a Mercedes
I hear that every racer that you know, It´s more relevant than every racer that I know,
But have you seen them?
Hideki Noda, Jean Marc Gounon, Marco Apicella, Sakon Yamamoto, Inoue, Albers, Max Wilson, Luca Badoer, Naoki Hattori, Toshio Suzuki, Schiattarella, Eric Bernard, Esteban Tuero, Julian Bailey, Tarquini, Van de Poele, Barbazza, Alex Caffi, Roberto Moreno, Volker Weidler, Winkelhock, Christian Danner, Dalmas, Foitek.
Gary Brabham, Bernd Schneider, Schlesser, Paul Belmondo, Bertaggia, Oscar Larrauri, Barilla, Ghinzani.
Pedro Lamy, David Brabham, Beretta, Yuji Ide (please come back!), Karthikeyan, Friesacher, Tora Takagi, J!D!Deletraz!, Lavaggi, Tarso Marques, Mazzacane, Sarrazin, Enrique Bernoldi, Sospiri, McCarthy, McCarthy, McCarthy, McCarthy.

You don´t know who to really adore (x15)
