Ode to Geekery in Two Forms

This is a parody. Geekery #1: It's a Band Parody. Geekery #2: It's set to... Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley. Yeah... I have too much time on my hands.

 

We’re no strangers to mud

You know the tunes, and so do I

A chord in fifths is what I’m thinking of

You wouldn’t get this from any other slide

 

I just wanna tell you how I’m feelin’

I’m in love with Marching Band

 

Never gonna skip a song

Never gonna tune it wrong

Never gonna hold a sectional without you

Never gonna miss a beat

Never gonna shuffle my feet

Never gonna judge a piece and doubt you

 

We’ve been at band camp for so long

Your feet are achin’ but

You’re too proud to say it

Inside we all know that we’ll miss it later

We know the show and we’re gonna play it

 

And if you ask me if I practice

Don’t tell me you’ve been deaf lately

 

[chorus]

[chorus]

 

(Miss a beat)

(Miss a beat)

Never gonna miss, never gonna miss

(Miss a beat)

Never gonna miss, never gonna miss

(Miss a beat)

 

We’ve been at band camp for so long

Your feet are achin’ but

You’re too proud to say it

Inside we all know that we’ll miss it later

We know the show and we’re gonna play it

 

And if you ask me if I practice

Don’t tell me you’ve been deaf lately

I like the sentiment, and I think it runs well. However, I am curious about one thing: what is the tune? Knowing that this is a song has made me madly curious about the tune. It sounds like something that would sound good if it were sung and/or performed. In a nutshell, I like it! Good job.
