Hi to everyone who is reading this!

I couldn't find a suitable place to post what I wanted to post so I settled for here, not sure how much viewing it will get here but hey ho!

Anyway, some months ago, someone at my badminton club passed away suddenly. The club did a book in which people could contribute if they wished. I had a go at doing a song and I thought that maybe I could share it, not in the sense that it's fantastically great, but in the sense that it is something different to post on these forums as most posts are informative or asking questions (although nothing wrong with that).

Anyway, hope you enjoy the read, maybe you will guess the song that I modified!  

Is this the real life?
Or is this just a game?
Caught out at the very front
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the ceiling and see...
I'm just attacking, I need no sympathy,
Because I hit it fast, hit it slow,
Hit it high, hit it low
Any way the opposition goes, doesn't really matter to me,
To me

Mama, I just smashed it down
Hit the racket against the shuttle, pulled the trigger,
Now it's out
Mama, the game has just begun...
But now I've gone and thrown it all away!
Mama, oh oh ooooh
Didn't mean to hit it out,
If I'm not getting it in this time oh no,
Carry on, carry on as if my shots don't really matter

Too late, my game is done
Sends shivers down my spine,
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind to pick up the points
Mama, ooh oh ooooh, I don't want to play anymore
I sometimes wish I'd never played at all!

I see a little umpire of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche
Shall I do those fine trick shots?
Cross court like lighting,
Very, very frightening!
(Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro
Magnifico

I'm just a poor player and nobody loves me
(He's just a poor player from a poor club
Spare him his life from this monstrosity)
Easy shot, easy shot, will you let me smash?
(Let him smash)
Bismillah! No, we will not let you smash!
Bismillah! No, we will not let you smash!
(Let me smash) Will not let you smash!
(Let me smash) Will not let you smash!
(Let me smash) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh mama mia, mama mia) Mama mia, let me smash!
The opposition has put a shot aside for me! For me! For me!!!

So you think you can lift it and laugh in my eye?
So you think you can lob me and let it die?
Ohhhh baby, can't do this to me, baby
Just gotta smash it down, just gotta smash it down right outta here

No shot really matters, anyone can see...

No shot really matters, no shot really matters.....to me

Any way the opposition goes........

I hate to sound impatient, but I was just wondering if there was any progress on the song? Is it actually happening? Would be brilliant if it did, I reckon it would be a hit in some of our other badminton loving countries!
