So...I wrote a TL "Carol" to the tune of Once in Royal David's City. Some of the words may not fit brilliantly, it'd work better if I could give you the music version here. As it would be a copyright infraction of whomever's arrangement I took, here are just the lyrics:
Once in sunny California,
Stood a place called Redwood Bay.*
It had a com-pany call-ed Storm8,
Who made games, for all to play.*
TeamLava made nine more games,
Helped Storm8 achieve their aims.*
In the TL Story series,*
First came Farm - a great debut.*
Grow your crops, and water the trees,
Get Collect-ibles: Stones and Bees!
Peacocks and geese are there for you,
Now on Kindle Fire too!
Then came City,
Fac-tor-ies and buildings,
Keep your resi-dents hap-py,
And gift houses, or some trees, build with many lovely things!
Build Police, or Fire Stations,
And look forward to up-dates with ani-mations!
Restaurant's next up on the menu,
With ovens and Drink Mach-ines,
Eat at dif-fer-ent chairs 'n' tab-les,
And tip-and-gift neigh-bours, it's all routine.*
The food looks real-ly delicious,
Except eye-ball stew: THAT was malicious.*
Treasure hit the decks as well,
And it was another hit!
Dig round islands, for the bounty,
Then make your own one for a bit.*
Ships, and huts, and treasure hunting,
Plus the seas: no good for punting?
Bakery was soon to follow,
With some mouth-watering cakes,
Plus some doughnuts, we all love them,
But get some ice cream, for goodness sakes.*
It is such a tasty treat,
Lots of diff'rent things to eat.*
Empire Story brought an impression,
Of the old days, weren't they fun?
Romans, with their grand old buildings,
And gladiator sparring: this is the one!
Build an old town, with houses thatched;
Will those Romans now be matched?
Back to 21st cen-tury now,
Where there's a newer type of dress;
Just as well, we have Fashion Story,
To keep us looking at our best!
Design a boutique and get orders,
Buy mirrors and design your wall-borders.*
Then Nightclub came to town,
Six stylish tracks for DJ to play,
Mix up cocktails, and make dancefloors:
Why not party every day?
Go to friends' Nightclubs as well,
A game with re-al ap-par-ell.*
Lastly Zoo, has joined the ranks,
Tigers, Lions, Zebras, Bears,
With some stands-ice cream and hot dogs,
And some rides: hold onto your hair.*
Tour some zoos, and get vis-i-tors,
And grow the food, forget apple cores.*
TeamLava continues to grow,
Getting better, day-by-day,
Keep enjoying fabulous free games,
And relax nicely whilst you play.*
Play all your games, they are such bliss,
And hearken to this: "Merry Christmas"!
NB: CS may never get animations. It just rhymed. I'm not suggesting that it will (though I hope so).
Also for anyone who doesn't know, punting is meant to be in rivers.
