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!
