Is This A Joke To You? - Spintown & Company
*In Minecraft my skin has been a Grim Reaper skin for more than a decade. While trying to think of a joke, the first thing that popped into my head was a very dad like joke.
What do you call Spintown when he's sleeping?
A Grim Sleeper!
I asked my Discord the question, and when I gave the answer it got the reaction a bad dad joke would get. BUT there is no time to waste, so I ran with the idea & tried to work the joke into some lyrics.
One thing that happens a lot in Bed Wars is you can get camped or camp someone. In solos (which is what I main) I camp a lot of people. Sometimes I'll just go motionless & unresponsive in hopes they will put themselves into a vulnerable situation thinking that maybe I went afk. When they do...I snap to attention & react. That's what the song is about. Me camping & maybe falling asleep (going afk) in game, and the playing out of the game.
I made a music video for this if anyone wants more context. Filmed it in under 30 minutes...so if it feels rushed...it is. ;p*

(Verse 1)
Spintown knows that patience can win games,
He sits awaiting his enemies play,
Gathering emeralds to pass the time,
Will he make a dash or sit & stay,
(Build)
In the midst of battle, he fights to stay awake,
The lullaby of the game begins to over take
Him as his head begins to nod & vision blur,
An unsure opponent begins to stir,
(Chorus)
What do you call a sleeping Spintown?
Wanting to win, but needing to lay down,
He's less responsive than his shopkeeper,
He just turned into the Grim Sleeper,
(Verse 2)
Bridging slowly expecting to be shot,
His foe stops to watch after every block,
To low on the scoreboard to sit & wait,
He knows he has to fight the clock,
(Build)
He's closer and closer, a little more to go,
He plans to jump the gap with a fireball,
Spintown hasn't moved or responded once,
Is this a joke to you, why do you stall?
(Chorus)
What do you call a sleeping Spintown?
Wanting to win, but needing to lay down,
He's less responsive than his shopkeeper,
He just turned into the Grim Sleeper,
(Bridge)
He's dreaming of M-C-C domination,
Maybe starting his own Spintown nation,
Deleting Dreamgrove from the map rotation,
Hypixel getting better moderation,
(Chorus)
What do you call a sleeping Spintown?
Wanting to win, but needing to lay down,
He's less responsive than his shopkeeper,
He just turned into the Grim Sleeper,
(Verse 3)
The fireball bursts, flying sword in hand,
The challengers eyes bulge out big and wide,
Spintown's head snaps, bow drawn tight,
Shot in the ass crossing the divide.
(Chorus)
What do you call a sleeping Spintown?
Wanting to win, but needing to lay down,
He's less responsive than his shopkeeper,
He just turned into the Grim Sleeper,
(Outro)
A quick awakening?
Or was he faking?
