**UPDATE: A good friend talked me into singing this myself and putting up a recording...

**UPDATE II: YouTube user Urnf Urk added some illustrations!


**UPDATE III: Some other songs I put together over the last couple of months. Here's one someone commissioned about the Wrath of Khan:

Here's one about Game of Thrones:

And I have a book up on Kindle now:

Enjoy!

**Lyrics by The Wumpus**

I am the very model of a Mass Effect enthusiast,

I’ve socialized with fans, the undiscerning and the choosiest,

I’ve met up with Salarians, and Turians, and Quarians,

While fighting mercs and Geth and husks and brutes and thugs and Thorians,

When I became a Spectre and went hunting for the Conduit,

They thought I couldn’t do it, but in no time I was onto it,

I showed them all the benefits of rooting for humanity,

And freed a fallen Spectre from his crippling insanity,

There’d never been a battle like the storming of the Citadel,

My crew and I came charging in, all loaded up to give ‘em hell,

We celebrated, all of us, the sober and the booziest,

I am the very model of a Mass Effect enthusiast.

It wasn’t too long after that, my ship was blown to smithereens,

I tumbled out and fell through space with all my vitals withering,

A faction of supremacists began resuscitating me,

And little did they know they almost all would soon be hating me,

They showered me with presents like a newlywed on honeymoon,

I happily accepted while my crewman sang a funny tune,

They sent me on a mission that was tantamount to suicide,

But I came back with everyone because I read the user guide.

My crew was all the stronger with the new recruits and veterans,

Miranda came a-knocking, and I took a drink and let her in,

I love the head of Cerberus, ‘cause he is the Illusiest,

I am the very model of a Mass Effect enthusiast.

The Reapers fell from Heaven and began to ravage all the Earth,

I rallied all the galaxy to fight as one, for all it’s worth,

If someone wrote it down, there’d be an epic scene on every page,

Like when the funny crewman gave his life to cure the Genophage,

With every passing day, the fighting took a catastrophic toll,

We saved the Geth and Quarians, because this unit has a soul,

And I could spend all day just reminiscing through the battle list,

I loved it up until the confrontation with the Catalyst…

I wish I could have earned some kind of closure with my loyal crew,

Or smacked the kid upside the head, ‘cause he can’t tell me what to do,

But even thought that slap across my face left me the bruisiest,

I’m still the very model of a Mass Effect enthusiast!

Looks like the Captain has distracted you enough for Worf to shut you down with a short range transmitter.

But in all seriousness, it looks like we have found our anthem.

Your pic doesn't work well with serious posts.

OK, I'm saving a copy of this and sharing it with my geekiest Mass Effect buddies.

+1,000,000 Internets have been awarded to you, good sir. Spend them wisely (like on a new ending to the game...)

This is bloody brilliant! Now all we need is Michael Beattie to sing it.

How long did you work on that? Totally saving this, by the way.
