We've been waiting for FOIP,
and it's here (in PTU, soon for PU).
Help us come up with shot ideas, help us record, help sing in it, help us coordinate!
Here's the audio track. It's an originally made parody.


  • For shot ideas, just describe what your ideas are with the lyrics they goes with.
  • For help with recording, only request you record 4K footage (preferably ~60 fps but 30 fps is usable too)
  • For help with acting, just say so and we'll PM you a link to a scheduled event for a recording session
  • For help coordinating, you'll be taking charge of coordinating recording session events

Everyone who contributes will get their Citizen name in the video credits at the end.
(your citizen names will be added to the bottom of this OP for reference, make sure you're in the list!)


Here are the lyrics:
[Chorus]
We built this squadron,
we built this squadorn on Alcohol!
Built this squadron,
we built this squadorn on Alcohol!


[Verse 1]
Say you don't know me,
or recognize my face.
Say you don't care ifhas,
that funny taste...
Where are you tonight?
swerving in your flight.
hug your pocelain throne,
heave with all your might!


[Bridge]
Montoya state-of-squadorn,
listen to the radio,
don't you remember?
We built this squadron,
we built this squadorn on Alcohol!


[Chorus]
We built this squadron,
we built this squadorn on Alcohol!
Built this squadron,
we built this squadorn on Alcohol!


[Verse 2]
Someone always shouting
their corporation rules
Who cares they're always changing
you, call us, the fools


We just want to drink here
someone bring, the keg
They call us irresponsible
find another game


[Bridge]
Montoya state-of-squadorn,
listen to the radio,
don't you remember?
Built this squadron,
we built this squadorn on Alcohol!


[Chorus]
We built this squadron,
we built this squadorn on Alcohol!
Built this squadron,
we built this squadorn on Alcohol!


[Verse 3]
It's just another funday,
wallet, starting to, shrink
Advocacy got the choke hold,
ooooooh uh oh uh oh oh...
let me finish... my drink!!!


Who counts the money
underneath the bar
Who flys the wrecking balls (harmony behind wrecking ball with "Auroras")
we blot out the stars


Don't tell us you need us,
'cos we're the org of fools
Looking for your planet base,
coming for your stools!


(Montoya speaks over radio)

Don't you remember, 'member, 'member

(Montoya speaks over radio)

[Bridge]
Montoya state-of-squadorn,
listen to the radio,
don't you remember
We built this squadron,
we built this squadorn on Alcohol!


[Chorus 2]
We built this squadron,
we built this squadorn on Alcohol!
Built this squadron,
we built this squadorn on Alcohol!
Built this squadron,
we built this squadorn on Alcohol!
Built this squadron,
we built this squadorn on Alcohooooool!!!!


We built.. we built this squadron now.. (we built this squadorn)
We built.. we built this squadron..
We built.. we built this squadron now.. (we built this squadorn)
We built.. we built this squadron..
We built.. we built this squadron now.. (we built this squadorn)
We built.. we built this squadron..
We built.. we built this squadron now.. (we built this squadorn)
We built.. we built this squadron..

4k @ 60FPS?! I don't even have a 4K monitor let alone the hardware to drive it at 60FPS.
Sorry, going for quality that will last 5-10 years as being watchable.
A lot of the commercial contest makers record in 4K60 I believe.
I use an Avermedia 4K60 cap card in my streaming PC to record with, the prices for 4K60 cap cards have dropped way down to a couple hundred bucks now.
With OCS, we're finally able to get good framerates in 4K.

But don't worry! The recording help I know only a few could help with at that quality, that's okay.
What we really need is shot ideas and coordinating/acting in recording sessions for them.

I really like @Heartwood audio SFX ideas too. We'll do some bar sounds, and I'd love to throw in a TEST meetup/bar citizen at the end of TESTies singing the song!

It's all thanks to your great pre work!

I'd also love to see a gummi bear song going for Test. It's a perfect fit: @Montoya

"Dashing and daring,

Courageous and caring,

Faithful and friendly,

With stories to share.

All through the space hubs,

They drink out the best schnaps,

Flying along,

As their song fills the air.



TEST Squadrooon!!

Crashing here and there and everywhere.

High adventure that's beyond compare.

They are the TEST Squardon!.



Beer and Auroras,

Are part of their chorus,

Along with the secret,

Of alcoholic* juice. *distillated

Their legend is growing,

They take pride in knowing,

They'll fight for what's right,

In whatever they do.



TEST Squadrooon!!

Bouncing here and there and everywhere.

High adventure that's beyond compare.

They are the TEST Squadrooon!!

They are Montoya's BOONS! "

LMAO omg I love this!
I pay a band $160-$250 to record my parodies (they are not in USA so the $$ stretches a lot farther where they are from)
And the main guy has a voice that matches this closely, I know he'll do it too.
If we can get a few contributors, that can be the next parody we do :smile:
I'm planning a Quiet Riot and a Jukebox Hero parody after this with my own money but if we get help on this one I'll put those two on hold.
