Here is my The Sorcerer's Apprentice Rap! From Master Balthazar Blake, yo! started out funny and then got serious and long lol! Say it out loud rap style, it works much better that way!! and should anyone want to record it, that would be cool!
THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE RAP
I am the Master Sorcerer Balthazar Blake, If I was a female I'd be burned at the stake, But if I go into battle let it be understood, My magical powers are only used for the highest good
My mission is to stop all ill meaning shenanigans, and save the world from the evil Morganians, In the beginning, there were The Three, Merlin's apprentices and now there's only me, One was a mighty sorceress, named veronica, Forever on my heart is engraved her moniker, The other was Horvath, my friend turned foe - She chose me over him and he could never let it go - He betrayed Merlin and became Morgana's boy Having Killed our master they then had their evil ploy; The treacherous pair planned to cast their darkest spell One called 'The Rising' that would cause merry hell!
Vernonica my loved one should have been my wife, But by merging with Morgana and saving my life, She had to be locked in the grimhold doll, To contain all the evil in A magic prison hold. Soon the traitor Horvath ( that dark game player ), Had been locked down good and proper, inside another layer.
And that was the beginning of my thousand year mission, And every passing day I felt the weight of my position, As Merlin lay dying, in my hand he placed some bling, Saying only his descendent could wear his dragon ring, So The Sorcerer's Apprentice I had no choice but to find - It really didn't help at all that i could read minds - I travelled the world, searching high and low, But by the 1000th year I had to go with the flow, As soon as I stopped looking, then he came to me (There's a lesson in there somewhere if you're following me)
A young boy from New York called Dave did fit the dragon ring, But he ignored my instructions not to touch anything, He just had to explore my funky magic shop, then to the floor the grimhold doll went for the drop And before 'abracabra' could have left your lips Horvath was released, and up to his old tricks.
His killing kind of magic never was that appealing, So I shot Dave that look and pinned Horvath to the ceiling, With plasma bolts and swords we battled in turn But it ended badly with both trapped inside an urn - A ten year sentence when i'd just found the key - But Dave couldn't save the world without lessons from me! I told him to take the Grimhold and I'd see him in a while, Little did I know he would go into denial!
Ten. years. later. and I find him beneath A pack of angry wolves and a set of sharp teeth, Horvath got there first and tried to kill the physics nerd, But I rescued Dave on my giant metal bird.
From magic Dave distanced (so he could forget), Playing with giant tesla coils and physical laws, and yet... When I put it to him that the law of vibration Was the basis of magic, it shook his foundation, And when he felt in his own hands, the throbbing plasma energy he had to accept the truth of the science and magic synergy.
With the reluctant apprentice the fun then began, He learned pretty fast from this ancient magic man, Our adventures began with chinese dragons and lanterns, Then we headed to the streets in my rolls royce phantom, beneath Horvath's radar we hit Dave's laboratory, We need a place to work for our magical exploratory, I cast the Merlin circle and nearly blew Dave's mind, But I know my stuff and there's no messing with my kind,
He needed to know there was no room for slack Because once you enter there is No. Going. Back.
To channel the current I made him wear the pointy shoes, Plus they look classy, and pointy hat I would not choose, His levitation was sloppy and his plasma bolts were weak, I did not tell him his true purpose because I knew he would freak.
His heart wasn't in it and his mind elsewhere, With a girl named Becky, about all else he couldn't care, He just wasn't focussed, chasing romantic satisfaction I shook my pickle in his face and told him 'love is a distraction'
I rescued him from crazy mops and fatal electrocution, I was at my wits end with him seeing no resolution I told him that Horvath would take no crap Once he'd escaped from the Hungarian mirror trap
He needed to know there was no room for slack Because once you enter there is No. Going. Back.
But after a morphing car chase my own story was rumbled So Dave got the whole truth and i was truly humbled Not just save the world, Dave must release my heart, Only the Prime Merlinian can stop us being apart Not only was Morgana locked in that nesting doll But my love vernonica who absorbed her evil soul..
Emboldened by love and because it is in his blood Dave rose up as hero for the power of good
Horvath and Morgana had begun the spell for The Rising, And even though I did my best it was Dave who was most surprising In the final showdown when Morgana was released That science magic synthesis he successfully unleashed
Even Without the dragon ring his magic was flowing, His Merlinian supernatural powers kept on growing and growing, He finished off Morgana, she will not return now ever Dave had saved the world and released me from forever.
Emboldened by love and because it is in his blood Dave rose up as hero for the power of good
How did it end for Veronica and me? Our love was never meant to be In the 21st century, But now that she was free, We could be one, eternally.
Thanks Lady T and Cagecrazy! it wasn't meant to be so long! it is just telling the story with rhymes, that's how i did it anyway! i know you've got it in you !
Anyone seen Sprocket lately? I am looking for a rapper!! maybe notorious N.I.C would do it!!!
Thank you Lady Fay, as do you! in all honesty this is nothing polished it just came out like that and this is just for fun...so don't be shy everyone, just let it roll off your tongiue!
I ain't much of a preacher man, but I told it as it was and did my best, Lula! A few edits of course, but I definitely got into the flow at times! It's too large for the site adn we've had this problem before, but my firewall isn't having any problem with File Factory:

That is cool, Sprocket, you are now an official rap artist, yo! You need a rap star name though, Dr S Tenacious sound good? Or how about Free Style S Professor? I like that echo effect at the end too.
LOL!! you did an awesome job MC Sprocket, especially as rapping with an english accent is so tricky!! now..tell us, did you have to have a shot of whiskey to get that brave?! lol!
It is very interesting to me how differently you heard the rhythm than i do...of course that is probably due to my poor transcribing of what i can hear in my head!!
check you in your gangsta car gift from Lady T!

haha if stand-up does one thing for you, it certainly makes you bold and brassy when it comes to entertaining others! I do not embarass easily; to paraphrase Herzog, sometimes it is good to do something ridiculous; sometimes one has to eat one's shoe! XD
Lol, Sprocket I can imagine how stand up can prepare you for anything! did you catch the CON AIR rap from Elephant larry that inspired this? (link in first post of this thread)
And Meg, pssst, I I think one may have just been born! *point to Sprocket*
So... Lady Trueheart and I were riffing in the chat box a coppola weeks ago and this Raising Arizona Rap was unleashed! Hope you enjoy and it is unfinished..if anyone wishes to pick up the baton and complete it!
THE RAISING ARIZONA RAP!!
My name is H.I but you can call me Hi, Never had much luck, didn't really try, Came the fateful day I met my dessert flower, Living the good life in our Arizona trailer.
She's a cop I'm a Con, I knew I was beneath her, Maybe that's why my sperm couldn't reach her, Or maybe it's because her insides are rocky practicing hard, but we're just unlucky.
So my honey hatched a plan, you should have seen her, She'd stop at nothing for a baby, my Edwina, They had more than they could handle and so we broke in... And helped ourselves to an Arizona quin.
Sayin' 'We got ourselves, a family here!' But the baby wasn't ours, so we lived in fear. Descended upon by former jailbirds, With all their heavy questions, we got muddled with our words.
Had a dream, or nightmare, couldn't really tell Filled with visions of a biker from hell I don't know if he was just a weirdo, Or perhaps a symbol of my alter ego.
Pointing right at me was a great big arrow, sayin, 'You will never walk the straight and narrow' I couldn't resist the allure of the convenience store Maybe the nuclear family left me wanting more... A pantyhose on my head and a cop in my bed i knew Edwina wanted something else instead... But you know what they say about best laid plans Soon the situation was out of our hands....
