This is a parody I made to the tune of "The Candy Man" by Sammy Davis Jr.
ENJOY! :D

Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with doom
Cover it with choc'late frogs and a massacre or two
The MiO Man, oh the MiO Man can
The MiO Man can 'cause he mixes it with stones and makes the world more sad

Who can take a magic blow, laugh it off with a sigh
Soak up all your magic and make your best friend die
The MiO Man, the MiO Man can
The MiO Man can 'cause he mixes it with stones and makes the world more sad

The MiO Man makes everyone he meets disturbed and suspicious
Now you talk about your childhood wishes, makes you wish they weren’t fictitious

Oh, who can take tomorrow, destroy it in a dream
Feed off your sorrow and make you all scream
The MiO Man, oh the MiO Man can
The MiO Man can 'cause he mixes it with stones and makes the world more sad

The MiO Man makes everyone he meets disturbed and suspicious
Talk about your childhood wishes, makes you wish they weren’t fictitious

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Who can take tomorrow, destroy it in a dream
Feed off your sorrow and make you all scream
The MiO Man, the MiO Man can
The MiO Man can 'cause he mixes it with stones and makes the world more sad
Yes, the MiO Man can 'cause he mixes it with stones and makes the world more sad
a-MiO Man, a-MiO Man, a-MiO Man
MiO Man, a-MiO Man, a-MiO Man
MiO Man, a-MiO Man, a-MiO Man

<3 Brings back old memories!

It's from a plot that happened three years ago, I think. A pretty intense plot at that!

Based off of Amber's experiences, "pretty intense" ranks as understatement of the decade!

But yes, lots of old memories. :D Good ones, even.

I take it MiO= Men in Orange? I had no clue, the song should have mentioned orange! But actually, nice job with the parody, dude. :-)

I wrote this forever ago (as the OP time stamp suggests), and yes "MiO" stands for "Men in Orange," and in this instance is pronounced "Mee-O." When I first crafted the parody, I tried to incorporate the actual name into the song but couldn't find a means that flowed well. So I went with the acronym that people were using to describe them in short.

EDIT:
Actually I wrote this shortly after Bowen Wells's perma, which is the death that is mentioned in the song, but I apparently did not post it to the forums until several years later.

"Gullible" rhymes with "orange" if you say it slowly, one syllable at at time.

Every time someone posts in this thread I read the first post again and end up singing the Candy Man song for half an hour. DX

I started to do this and then I stopped mid way and glared at your username.
