Well I thought it might be fun to compose a funtrivia song.

What do you think?

This is just the brainstorming phase though.

come on along, come on along, to Funtrivia's quizzyland song!
(Alexander's Ragtime Band?)

I mean, we have to have a silly song around this place. Life is way too serious out there.

Is there anything that rhymes with TRIVIA to make it easier?

Funtrivia is the place to be
good for all the family

nah, scrap that ... sounds too smarmy!

I can make a few rhymes with 'trivia' -

Bolivia, leafier, niffier, Olivia, sniffier.

Not that they help much!

Take this advice that I'm gonna give ya;
Sit yourself down, log on to Funtrivia!
Check out some threads or play for awhile.
You'll meet great people and get plenty of smiles!

Gawd! I'm really smacking my forehead over this one! This took me about 5 minutes of intense concentration. I'll go back to my corner now.....

OK...jubjub's "rap" is innovative! Great start!

...but I'm thinking (in my Canadian way) that if "ier"-ending words rhyme with "ia"-ending words...well...we're having an ACCENT complication here...maybe...I dunno...?

EH?

you will have fun on Funtrivia
even if you're in Bolivia
or if your name is Olivia

you will soon be addicted
just as I've predicted
and we're all real nice
so you won't be evicted

use emitcons or smiley faces
it dosen't matter we're all nutcases
from all manner of faraway places

so join in the Forum
and use good decorum
and if anyone dosen't-
just you ignore 'em.

Those are really good! I think we have to have a bit of flexibility for accents so it rhymes!

Hiya, friend, your at the place to be,
Check out your forum and guess what you see,
A bunch of wackos having a laugh,
But don't leave the site and go take a bath.

This song is really bad, but we don't care,
So hang loose and don't lose your hair.
'Cause I'm talking to you, fellow member,
So have some fun and play 'til December.

Play a quiz or answer a thread,
And don't you worry 'cause we've all lost our heads!
So come and enjoy the quizzyland throng,
And now go play and stop reading this song!

Sorry, guys! I couldn't resist!

Dakota North rocks!

Thank you Aball!

These are great !! I would not know where to begin. I'll ask my five year olds for some ideas.

The idea was nice Bruyere, I thought of bringing it back to the top because I think that maybe, just maybe, some people could make a real song about Funtrivia. People just have to bring up lyrics (DakotaNorth's were great by the way), and if there is somebody who plays instruments, with some friends, maybe come up with a real song? It would be great!

This is too fun a thread to let get buried too much. So, I'm bringing it back up again!

To the tune of the Marines' Hymn, here's the Funtrivia Anthem...

"From cats and dogs to P. Diddy--
To tipping -n- controversy.
Since it suits various interests,
Funtrivia is the place to be.

We have songs, and games, and everything.
We have all of it right here!
If you're searching to be entertained,
Funtrivia is the place to be."

The last two lines sound off but that is the best I can do.

Here is the offical hymn.

I can think of 'Nivea' y'know ...the moisturising cream! but I can't think how you'd work that into a Funtrivia song.

*Edit* What about: Funtrivia Funtrivia think of the pleasure it'll give-e yer!

I hadn't thought about the r of the British prononciation, that does increase your palette for rhymes more, doesn't it?
Ya is probably only the one that will work!

Fun, fun trivia
Come along and play
It's friendly, free and guaranteed
To sharpen up your day

I'm going to go to work on this one --- the ideas already here are good by the way --- I'll have to take some time to think about it.

To the sound of West Side Story's "Maria"....

"Fun trivia...I'll always come back to Fun trivia...
Wherever I may roam, I'll come back home to check...if you're there."

Now, the finale, sung like "I want to live in Am-er-eek-ka"

I want to play in Fun tri vee ya..
Everyone plays in Fun Tri Vee Ya
Everyone stays in Fun Tri vee ya
Nobody leaves from Fun Tri Vee Ya...

You have to have a good rhythm section for that one!

Bruyere, I like that "Fun tri vee ya" one.

It's catchy!

Fun tri via goes with "Oh Canada" (and now I am stuck with the tune till the end of the day and most of the night... ah well)

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear FUNTRIVIA
Happy Birthday to you

To the tune of Gilligan’s Island

Just sit right back and read a post
Or start a brand new thread
Then play a quiz and you will learn
How ‘Friend’s’ stars butter bread
The ‘eds’ and mods’ they sail they ship
While discussions are unfurled
In these threads are answers
That’ll save the bloody world
Save the bloody world
You’ll find a quiz on anything
Like ‘Lint in Kazakhstan’
If not for the courage of the history ed
We’d all be Buffy fans
All be Buffy fans
So come right in and meet the crew, everyone is here
There’s leftieees, and right wing too
T-Dublyaaa, and his wife
A movie star, lawyers and trivia fans
Here on trivia forums…….
