Knightmare parody of 'Proud' by Heather Small


Based on one of the funniest scenes in Knightmare's history! Series 2 dungeoneer Neil had encountered the evil Mogdred, who cast a SHROUD spell rendering him invisible. The team's task was simple: 'dispel' the magic by calling out the letters of SHROUD in a jumbled order. However, for some reason they kept leaving out the letter 'O', and were baffled as to why it wasn't working! Treguard was supposed to be restrained by Mogdred's power and unable to speak, but tried to give them a hint by groaning "O!" – only to be completely ignored as they thought he was just making random noises. *g* After several failed attempts at dispelling, the team thought they must have to do something else, such as offering Mogdred one of their clue objects! The penny didn't drop until Treguard finally said "Let-ter O". (The advisors then smugly congratulated themselves on defeating the villain... before dying a few rooms later in similar circumstances, when they forgot the name of their own spell!!) The 'SHRUD' incident also inspired a Beatles parody by David, which was made into a brilliant music video by a couple of his Twitter followers. :D


Parody lyrics


I spell D-U-R-H-S one more time
Reversing what we hear is all I've ever tried

A scene out of the ordinary
I can see the spell's not ending
It wants to stay, can't work it out
And things still look the same, yeah

What have you got to say to take off Neil's shroud?
Whatever else can we try?
What have you got to say to shake off Neil's shroud?

This would stump so many people
Need a way to break this evil
What have you got to say to take off Neil's shroud?

Why it isn't working, I don't know
(Oddly, this isn't working)
All we get from Treguard is howling "Ohhh"
(But Treguard just says "Oh")

It's a scene out of the ordinary
I can see the spell's not ending
It wants to stay, can't work it out
Things still look the same, yeah

What have you got to say to take off Neil's shroud?
Whatever else can we try?
What have you got to say to shake off Neil's shroud?

This would stump so many people
Need a way to break this evil
What have you got to say to take off Neil's shroud, eh?

What can we change, Tre?
Do it again, eh?
The result is still surprising

Strange, eh?
Nothing has changed, nay
So forget the gameplay
'Cos I can see we'll need to bribe him!

What have you got to say to take off Neil's shroud?
(To take off his shroud, yeah)
(Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya)
So what have you got to say to shake off Neil's shroud?
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Though it would stump so many people
Someday we'll break this evil
So what have you got to say to take off Neil's shroud? Duh!


Original lyricsaudio


I look into the window of my mind
Reflections of the fears I know I've left behind

I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I'm on my way, can't stop me now
And you can do the same, yeah

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?

You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?

Still so many answers I don't know
(There are so many answers)
Realise that to question is how we grow
(To question is to grow)

So I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I'm on my way, can't stop me now
You can do the same, yeah

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?

You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud, yeah

We need a change, yeah
Do it today, yeah
I can feel my spirit rising

Change, yeah
We need a change, yeah
So do it today, yeah
'Cos I can see a clear horizon

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
(To make you feel proud, yeah)
(Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya)
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

'Cos you could be so many people
Just make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
