Subject: Karaoke Revolutionized: ("For You I Will" by Monica) (ANYONE WELCOME)

Written By: Matthias on 05/11/09 at 8:36 pm

Karaoke Revolutionized

Week Fourteen
Monica's "For You I Will"



     Karaoke Revolutionized is an ongoing project that allows parodists the opportunity to parody popular songs that they wouldn't ordinarily take a look at, especially the older folks on this site who generally stick to 60's and 70's hits. This project follows the famous games that allow players to sing along to their favorite songs, using microphones that hook up to the Playstation 2. Usually all big top Billboard hits, with on the rare occasion a few exceptions.

This week's song is "For You I Will" by the artist Monica

A little information on Monica...

- Following a major success with "The Boy Is Mine," a duet with singer Brandy, and a same-titled second album in 1998, a series of hit records established her position as one of the most successful of the new breed of urban R&B female vocalists to emerge in the mid-to late 1990s.

- Her hits include...
- "The Boy Is Mine"
- "The First Night"
- "Angel of Mine"

A little information on the song, "For You I Will"...

- It was written for the movie "Space Jam"

- The song's lyrics involve the singer pledging love and devotion and promising to help an unnamed "you" overcome any difficulty, regardless of the magnitude.

- The song debuted at an impressive number on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number four, becoming Monica second top five single and one of her most successful songs.

Lyrics:

When you're feeling lost in the night
When you feel your world just ain't right
Call on me, I will be waiting
Count on me, I will be there
Anytime the times get too tough
Anytime your best ain't enough
I'll be the one to make it better
I'll be there to protect you
See you through
I'll be there and there is nothing
I won't do

I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero, your strength
Anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
I Promise you
For you I will

I will shield your heart from the rain
I will let no harm come your way
Oh these arms will be your shelter
No these arms won't let you down
If there is a mountain to move
I will move that mountain for you
I'm here for you, I'm here forever
I will be your fortress, tall and strong
I'll keep you safe, I'll stand beside you , right or wrong

I will cross the ocean for you (I will cross the ocean)
I will go and bring you the moon (yeah, yeah)
I will be your hero, your strength
Anything you need (And I will be..)
I will be the sun in your sky (The sun)
I will light your way for all time
I Promise you
For you I will

For you I will
Lay my life on the line
For you I will fight (oh,oh,oh)
For you I will die
With every breath, with all my soul
I'll give my world
I'll give it all
Put your faith in me (Put you're faith in me)
And I'll do anything(oh)

I will cross the ocean for you (I will cross the ocean)
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero, your strength
Anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
I Promise you (I Promise you)
For you I will, I will, I will, I will

I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero your strength(Let me be your hero)
Anything you need (Anything you need)
I will be the sun in your sky (yeah, yeah)
I will light your way for all time
I Promise you (I promise you)
For you I will (oooh)

I promise you
For you I, I will

Since Agrimorfee has been my partner in crime with this on-going project, I'm changing the deadline to two weeks so he can participate along with me. (Since I know his schedule is hectic and doesn't have much computer time these days, and I want him to continue in this project with me)

I will give it a shot, Matthy. Thanks for thinking of me, but maybe you need to plug this again so newbies might get attracted to it...maybe change the thread title as an alert that anyone can join in?

Boy, this tune makes Brandy look like Tori Amos. :o The challenge will be that repeated chorus~

BTW, shouldn't this be Week 13? No biggie.
