Shadowy Song Conversion - I hope I did this right

[Smiley73]

So today I converted Tinie Tempah's Wonderman into Slenderman.

 

Wonderman is a rap type of song so it's got a lot of lyrics, so I hope I stuck close enough to keep you all happy.

 

A little backstory on Slenderman though.

 

Slenderman is a little bit of an internet phenomenon, he was thought up on the Something Awful boards in a competition where users would manipulate photos to make something seem supernatural and then post the pics and a little witness account/story on supernatural boards to see what the response was. One of the ones that really took off was Slenderman.

 

As you can tell from the name, Slenderman is described as being very tall, usually depicted with no face and wearing a suit, sometimes with tentacles coming from his back. What Slenderman does is usual monster fare, stalk and catch people, make people disappear in the woods and whatnot, and I'll take this oppurtunity to emphasis that Slenderman does NOT exist, the entire mythos was thought up on an internet board in 2009.

 

Some stuff that really helped Slenderman take off was when Minecraft's developer, Notch, added a tribute to Slenderman, the Endermen into a release of Minecraft. One other thing was the release of a free Indie horror game called Slender. In the game you are a person armed only with a flashlight being chased by the Slenderman. your only objective is to collect 8 papers. The game recently took off at my school, and while I haven't played it, I have watched people play it and the it's quite scary just watching. There's a video of one guy's reaction, it may or may not have been uploaded to youtube, I'll check and link it later if I can.

 

Here's some pics if you need a little more help with visualisation, spoilerfied for those who scare easily

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so without further ado, the original:

 

 

 

The strong, the mighty

The forces of evil could never destroy

The power of the Wonderman

And for those a formidable journey lies ahead

Only one will prevail

Wonder, wonder, wonderman.

 

Uh yeh, these haters couldn't get to where I am with a full tank of petrol, uh

My uncle used to drink a can of kestrel when life got stressful, uh

What kinda person should you be when wanna make people to accept you, uh

What does it really mean when you dream of being famous and successful, when you were born to be special,

Uh yeh and I went from the kid in class,

Takes some radio DJs so they could bring me up to the young rapper that everybody's ringing up,

Got em looking for a sprinkle of that pixie dust mad thoughts in my head when its blowin up.

Are you really big enough.

I traded friends for fans

cement for sand

raise your hand

the wonder man

 

Can't you see the bright lights shine in your face

I'm counting on you to take it all away

I saw the chosen one their calling your name

Are you you

Are you you, The wonder man

 

Bored of being nameless bored of feeling

When you walk up in the mall and cant afford a pair of trainers,

Imagine when it changes, imagine satisfaction when you make it,

Its more than being famous,

More then the applause and more than any form of status,

More than the performances in 20 foreign places,

Benidorm, Vegas, many more praises,

Amen hallelujah Tinie look what's happened to ya

Yeh they love that attitude brand new and improved, yeh

 

And when the fans start grabbing you,

Show gratitude with a little brag or two,

Amen hallelujah Tinie look what's happened to ya,

Who can say they ran look at all the obstacles I ran look

I traded friends for fans

cement for sand

raise your hand

the wonder man

Are you you

Are you you, The wonder man

 

Can't you see the bright lights shine in your face

I'm counting on you to take it all away

I saw the chosen one their calling your name

 

Come on come on the stars are where you belong

Come on follow your heart is gunna take you home

Come on come on the stars are where you belong

There's no turning back from here

 

See the bright lights shine in your face

I'm counting on you to take it all away

I saw the chosen one their calling your name

Are you you

Are you yo, The wonder man

 

 

 

 

and then my shadowfied:

 

 

The weak, the scared

The forces of Light could never destroy

The power of the Slenderman

And for those a terrifying journey lies ahead

No one shall prevail

Slender, Slender, Slenderman!

 

These humans couldn’t get away from me with a full tank of petrol

They shoulda stayed away from me, cause life’s about to get frightful

Where can you run to when you know I can always find you?

What does it really mean when I haunt your nights and days, did you think you were special?

 

You went from the kid in class

laughing at the ghost stories

searching through the forest for a laugh

Go looking for monsters you didn’t think exist

never thought this is where you’d end up

are you really brave enough?

You traded sane for mad

your good for bad

Make your stand

The Slenderman

 

Can you see the Slenderman looking your way

And you’re counting on this flashlight to take it all away

You heard the Slenderman calling your name

Are you, you

Are you, you, The Slenderman?

 

Tired of being nameless, bored of seeing

When people walk in your woods and don’t feel ‘fraid of,

Imagine when it changes, imagine terror when you show it

It’s more than being famous

More than the terror and more than any monster status

More than appearances in 20 different places

Benidorm, Vegas, many more pages,

Look what’s happened to ya

Yeah they love that suit, brand new and improved

 

 

And when the tentacles start grabbing you

Show fear with a little shake or two

Look what’s happened to ya

Who can say they ran, look at all the obstacles they ran, look,

You traded sane for mad

your good for bad

Make your stand

The Slenderman

Are you, you

Are you, you, The Slenderman?

 

Can you see the Slenderman looking your way

And you’re counting on this flashlight to take it all away

You heard the Slenderman calling your name

 

Come on, come one, my arms are where you belong

Come on, stop running, it’ll do you no good,

come on, come on, my arms are where you belong

There’s no escape from me

 

Can you see the Slenderman looking your way

And you’re counting on this flashlight to take it all away

You heard the Slenderman calling your name

Are you, you

Are you, you, the Slenderman?

Smiley, that is genuinely terrifying. I don't think it could be more Shadowy were it an eclipse.

Slenderman creeps me out, but you should see the video of the guy reacting to Slender, absolutely hilarious

 

on the other hand:

[Smiley73]

this may end badly...

as I've hear it traffic to slender's main page has overburdened it's servers, but the game's completely free so you shouldn't feel bad for using one of the mirror downloads out there
