Song Lyrics:

The legend starts in 1951 When we listened to the sound of the Distant Drums Met his maker in the jaws of an alligator There were six screams taken but one proved to be greater Than the rest so let's fast forward a bit to the Feather River And meet a young private with the lungs that could deliver The kind of cry that only girls vocalize He unleashed a mighty scream as his thigh was incised Ben Burtt, perhaps you may have heard of him He noticed a certain sound emanating from a bunch of films Decided it was perfect for a film that he made So he lifted it and placed it in The Scarlet Blade From that point a sonic signature formed One that Ben used fairly often in his sound design chores To this very day if you happen by his edit bay And you listen very closely you can hear him say That calls for a Wilhelm Scream That calls for a Wilhelm Scream That calls for a Wilhelm Scream Scream a little louder, gotta make a big scene That calls for a Wilhelm Scream That calls for a Wilhelm Scream That calls for a Wilhelm Scream Scream it to the heavens so they know what you mean Over the years the scream has made many appearances It sounded out in Warner Brothers films for 20 years and then The aforementioned Ben created sounds for Star Wars Take four began to show up in movies galore A stormtrooper stumbled into a shaft because Luke shot him Another was chucked into the freezing chamber by Chewbacca Crocodiles enjoyed the Thuggees Indy knocked from the bridge Jabba lost a bunch of henchmen in the Sarlac Pit Mr. Pink smacked some people in the street Buzz Lightyear met a lamp and tumbled head over feet The Caped Crusader punched a clown and tossed him clear out the frame Grenades exploded in The Last Crusade There's numerous other scenes featuring violence and tension Young Indiana Jones has too many Wilhelms to mention I bet the sound designers meet near to here To figure out which films will get the scream this year That calls for a Wilhelm Scream That calls for a Wilhelm Scream That calls for a Wilhelm Scream Scream a little louder, gotta make a big scene That calls for a Wilhelm Scream That calls for a Wilhelm Scream That calls for a Wilhelm Scream Scream it like your lacking proper oral hygiene Now don't believe that the scream can only used on the screen You can use it wherever you see a need Got a problem that should probably have the proper punctuation? Try a Wilhelm, it can emphasize any bad situation That big jerk from accounting just stole your promotion Your dinghy's leaking in the middle of the ocean That eBay idiot gave you negative feedback And the money you gave that bum was converted to crack The lid can't be extracted from your Jell-o pudding cup It's hard to surf for porn efficiently stuck on dial-up All you need is a knife but there's 10,000 spoons They're making a Michael Bay film of your favorite cartoon The Spanish Inquisition tries to burn you at the stake Cavity Creeps gave you a toothache The enemy force is just outside your archer's range That cell phone soccer mom didn't signal her lane change Gotta pee but the urinal's unflushed You find yourself in outer space lacking the right stuff Frequent visits to the store net you nary a chase figure You didn't remember to TiVo the Heroes finale now, did you? Invaders from space leveled all the major cities There's no more freakin' milk for your bowl of Cocoa Krispies Whenever it seems you've been given raw deal It's time to scream it like you mean it, let 'em know how you feel That calls for a Wilhelm Scream That calls for a Wilhelm Scream That calls for a Wilhelm Scream Scream a little louder, gotta make a big scene That calls for a Wilhelm Scream That calls for a Wilhelm Scream That calls for a Wilhelm Scream Scream it like the doctors finally found a vaccine That calls for a Wilhelm Scream That calls for a Wilhelm Scream That calls for a Wilhelm Scream Scream a little louder, gotta make a big scene That calls for a Wilhelm Scream That calls for a Wilhelm Scream That calls for a Wilhelm Scream Scream it like you found out she was only sixteen (Lyrics from theFump.com) (ChrisWolvie)
