The following songs were composed for the Convulsion 3D "HeroQuest Party", and are presented for use by any other budding HeroQuesters out there.

Y-E-L-M (MOB's team of Sun Domers)

Young man, you don't need to cross-dress I said, young man, you must be very repressed I said, young man, you can't sleep with your sex There's no need to be a pansy

It's fun to worship great Y-E-L-M
It's fun to worship great Y-E-L-M
He's got all these rules

To stop you playing the fool
You can wear bright shi-ny armour

Y-E-L-M
It's fun to worship great Y-E-L-M
You can walk like a man
Do whatever you can
To get out of your closet

		Tune: Y-M-C-A
		Words: Kerie Campbell and Neil Robinson


The gestures should be obvious, though only the pure among the Sun Folk can get them right. There was a second verse, lost in the mists of alcohol (according to its authors): if anyone can reconstruct it, or if you escaped the Con with one of the billboard lyric sheets, please post it here! As pointers, the first line may be: "So then, just get out of those clothes", per Neil; the last line may be: "Then you can be a Yelm-a-lion", per Kerie.



OLD MAN WAHA HAD A HERD (Sandy's team of Praxians)

Old Man Waha had a Herd

        Ee-eye-ee-eye-oh
And in that herd he had Impala

        Ee-eye-ee-eye-oh
With a "Wheee!" here and a "Wheee!" there, Here a "Wheee!", there a "Wheee!",
Everywhere a "Wheee!" "Wheee!"
Old Man Waha had a Herd

        Ee-eye-ee-eye-oh
And in that herd he had...

		Tune: Old MacDonald Had A Farm
		Words: Nick Brooke and others

Every animal has a gesture/action. IMPALA have small pointy horns (forefingers pointing up from the forehead), and jump on each "Wheee!". In subsequent verses, add a new animal and then run through all the previous ones, in order. Suggestions:

BISON (hands make bull-horns, bellowing moo/roar)

HERD-MAN (slumped beer-gutted/chimpanzee posture and facial expression, pick nose, scratch crotch or armpits, make neanderthal confused TV-watching noises like "Duhhh..." or "Wot?" or "Eh?")

HIGH LLAMA (one arm above head, its hand is Llama's head: make spitting sounds and motions)

SABLE (arms curved back behind head, irritating "Nyaaah!" sound)

You could add other Praxian animals or tribes, but you'd knacker yourself if you did!
