When my interest in pop music caught up with my interest in Dungeons and Dragons (in the 1980's), my geek friends and I made up some D&D parodies of the tunes of the day.
Duran Duran's Wild Boys became Wild Elves around the time the Monster Manual II was released.
Judas Priest's Some Heads Are Gonna Roll became Some Dice Are Gonna Roll.
Motorhead's Eat the Rich became Beat the Lich ("...cast spells at that son-of-a-bitch!")
June 17, 2003: At the behest of two noders, I've dug up the lyrics to Wild Elves. Some Dice are Gonna Roll had some mean-spirited bits about certain ousted playing-group members, and Beat the Lich wasn't mine, so this is all you get. In my long-running "Jaïntuchen" campaign world, Celebwold was a forest marred by a broken wasteland, called the Demonswake. The waste was blasted by the passage of Yothim Ajol, the Demon Prince of Petrification, hence the petrifying medusae and basilisks. The Pack Beasts were badass demon wolves bred by Yothim Ajol's cult, which required the living sacrifice of elf captives to reproduce.
Wild Elves
The Wild Elves are calling
From the Celebwold tonight
They won't give up their homeland
To the demons on the rise
Wild Elves fighting fights so gory
Far from human rangers
And clerics with their flails
And there's bloodshed at the Waste Line
And medusae haunt their trails
They telekinesed us, we're on the fly again
Wild Elves never lose it
Wild Elves hold Pack Beasts at bay
Wild Elves avoid basilisks' eyes
Wild Elves have to hide
They got Sirines for a welcome
There's holy symbols for their pain
Arrows of Slaying have been flying
Since they crept out of the flame
The demons wonder where is glory
Bring on paladins and rangers
Saint Fiona's Knights have fell
And elf-wimps war with arrows
Though their cooked flesh sweetly smells
They tried to dispel us, looks like they'll try again
Demons never lose it
Demons never close the Gate
Demons don't ask hows or whys
Demons ooze with slime
