Win One Of Three Lego Batman: The Videogame PSP Packs
Na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na, Na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na, Batman! Na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na, Na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na, Batman!
With The Dark Knight now officially one of the biggest movies in the history of mankind, Batman has firmly been brought back into public eye. And so what better way to celebrate it than by returning it to its camp, 60s TV show roots and combining it with Lego?
The Lego Batman video game is coming out soon on all the major consoles and handhelds, and considering how much we love both Lego and Batman, this has the opportunity to become the favourite game in Gizmodoland.
While our brothers from Kotaku generally get all the cool gaming stuff, we’ve somehow convinced the guys at Warner Interactive to give us three copies of the game to give away. Not only that, they’ll come with three brand-spanking-new PSPs to play them on.
To enter, we’re going to need a little creativity from you. We want you to write a song chorus which uses the words “Giz”, “Lego” and “Batman” somewhere in the lyrics. It would also help if you can tell us the tune to which your song should be sung.
Pop your entries in comments. The best three entries will be judged next weekend with an announcement made next Monday.

I just wanna play,
Batman Lego, what more can I say,
Heard ’bout it from Giz last Monday,
I just wanna play.
chorus of Good Charlotte – I Just Wanna Live
To the tune of the 80’s classic Ice Ice Baby
All right stop, Gotham city listen
Lego’s back with a brand new invention
A little guy, who wears his clothes tightly
For some reason he’s only out nightly
Do we need cops?- no, they’re too slow
Turn off the lights and he glows
To the extreme he likes to beat up vandals
Lights up the night with a giant bat candle
Mini Batman baby, he’s tiny,
Mini Batman baby, he’s tiny
Robin, out the window is jumping
Givin mini Joker a mighty thumpin’
Quick to the utility belt no faking
They’re cooking bad guys like a pound of bacon
Their capes, make them quick and nimble
They look mad with the batty symbol
And a bat hat with pointy ear holes
They’re on a roll- (Robin never goes solo)
Rollin’ in the minute black bat car
With the little top down so the rockets can go far
Batgirls on standby, Waiting or her cool bike
Did they stop? No – they just drove by
Kept on pursuing to the next stop
The mini Giz crew hanging on the next block
That Lego block was red
Yo – so they continued to Plastic Green Tree Ave.
Catwoman’s hot ‘cause she wore more than bikinis
Tight leather outfit, looking like a meanie
Gunshots rang out like a bell
Mini guns with plastic shells
Bouncing off tiny chests real fast
These guys are all time- they really don’t need masks
Mini Batman baby, he’s tiny,
Mini Batman baby, he’s tiny
Yo man – Lego out of here! Word to your mother!
to the chorus of Billy Joel’s “Piano Man”:
Big yellow head, you’re a Lego man
And in the crime-fighting biz
Preying on fear, you are the Batman
And you get gear ideas from the Giz
Gotham is squealing, the Joker is stealing,
Robin is nowhere to be found.
Giz is screaming, as Batman is reeling,
Lego falls on to the ground.
to chorus of Ladyhawke – Paris is Burning
Lego Batman for you, Lego Batman for me,
awarded out by GIZ-modo, free.
Lego Batman for you, Lego Batman for me,
if I won how surprised I’d be.
chorus of The Last Goodnight – Pictures of You
Giz Can you give me the Game,
Lego Batman today, Ooh Giz.
and Giz, A PSP to claim,
Fight the Joker today, Ohh Giz.
to chorus of Superman Lovers – Starlight
The day Giz went hazy,
the day Giz went insane.
This comp is making me crazy,
rhyming Lego Batman is causing me pain.
to chorus of Weird Al Yankovic – Night Santa went Crazy
batman doesn’t run away,
robin by his side, giz backing up,
Lego will make it OK,
Joker can’t hide, the girl drinks beer from a cup!
Batman’s a Hero,
Just like Gizmodo,
Tech news inside a browser.
Sometimes it’s crazy,
Sometimes depressing,
But Lego is always a blessing.
Sung in the tune of Coldplay – The Scientist
Sung in the tune of Coldplay – The scientist
Batman’s a Hero,
Just like Gizmodo,
Tech news inside a browswer.
Sometimes it’s happy,
Sometimes depressing,
But Lego is always a blessing.
Those pictures of breakfast,
Are making me Hungry,
Why must you do this to me?
All those speach bubbles,
I just don’t get them,
I’m just not geeky enough.
Please baby, Give me the console
I’m just too poor to get one myself.
Please baby, show me some mercy
I didn’t know Lego would be this tough.
I’m gonna take it apart
When I saw Toastie’s entry,
I was filled with shame.
Mine was elementary,
He’s was a whole new game.
Lego Batman within his reach,
As good as in the mail.
Time halts with a screech,
While my hope begins to fail.
My entries now looked bad,
My hopes were draining fast.
I was feeling really bad,
The gap was just too vast.
Then I came upon a plan,
To keep the chance alive.
To win Lego Batman,
A song, I must contrive.
He’s a Giz Comp Wizard
Takes it to Extreme,
A Giz Comp Wizard,
He’s entry was supreme.
Why you think he made it?
(Web Video)
Why’s it on Youtube?
A chorus on it’s own,
Might not get the loot,
A song that’s matches tone,
Would give my chance a boot.
I began to think,
Of which song I should skew.
The list began to shrink,
Settled upon The Who.
Killed Pinball Wizard,
I wish I was drunk.
Lower than a lizaard,
My standards have just sunk.
I know some will say,
It’s as bad as karaoke night.
And in the light of day,
I know that you’d be right.
But here within the darkness,
Within the Dark Knight’s hood.
We’ll drink into excess,
Then for a while it’ll sound real good.
to the tune of The Who – Pinball Wizard
It’s Nine Eighteen on a Monday,
The batsignal has been turned on.
You speed off without a second’s delay,
To find out what’s going on.
Joker has got out once more,
with Harlequin right by his side.
You and Robin head out, not using the door,
Going to face them with pride.
Na Na Na, de de da
Na Na, de de da da da
Hey Batman, you’re a minifig,
Barely an inch tall.
As Lego you may not be very big,
But with Giz, you can still take them all.
Now Robin’s hair may not look quite right,
Kinda like a plastic tree.
The Joker’s here to fight, to challenge your might,
And there’s nowhere you’d rather be.
The police are being turned to bacon,
As the Joker slowly draws near.
The weakness that you’ve been a fakin’,
Will change as you hand him his rear.
Oh, Na Na Na, de de da
Na Na, de de da da da
Now Robin sweeps down from the sky,
Taking Harlequin down.
The Joker looks sly, as you dodge his cream pie,
You gotta take down that clown.
Harlequin somehow got free,
To be with her dear Mister J.
Dropping a smoke bomb so you can’t see,
As they are getting away.
Hey Batman, you’re a minifig,
Barely an inch tall.
As Lego you may not be very big,
But with Giz, you can still take them all.
You lost them both what a shame,
May be another day.
It’s time to leave and become Bruce Wayne,
Cause you must work after you play.
You must party with the big-wigs,
You must go and play the field.
Find a dame minifig, with boobs painted big,
Bruce Wayne your ultimate shield.
Oh, Na Na Na, de de da
Na Na, de de da da da
Hey Batman, you’re a minifig,
Barely an inch tall.
As Lego you may not be very big,
But with Giz, you can still take them all.
to the tune of Billy Joel – Pianoman
Press Release – The BatRapper’s Latest Song
BatRapper – infamous superhero and rap authority – today confirmed his latest song in a series of upbeat titles to keep away those pesky Villains from Gotham City.
A poster press release and lyrics are out now and available at;
http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/6503/batrappersp0.jpg
Song lyrics referenced below;
Geee Wiz Giz kids,
It’s batman here,
Hope you got your lego knife up ere’,
because i’m gunna take you down to tha’ bat cave,
and do nasty bat-stuff to you all day
You’re going to pay for those nasty gotham crimes,
You’re going to do bat-pennance overtime!
Not even gizmodo will report that sh*t,
Because’ what i’m gunna do is nastier than lego gun bricks.
I’m the bat rapper and bat killer hey hey’
Shout out to nick from gizmodo today’
Waiting, watching the sky, for that bat sign, to glow tonight
Help me, can’t take no more, I’m getting stabbed, but wait what’s that?
As he opens the door, I roll over
Almost dead, puts me on his shoulder
He flies and says he’s in love with me
I found my bat-a-man
He wears no colour, just black instead,
I found my bat-a-man
I found my bat-a-man…
Talking to himself, he says the bat cave needs some work…
When we’re back in his surroundings,
Shows me why he brought me in cause,
Alfred died, needs the place cleaned
Gets a broom, tells me ’start sweeping’
He lied and said he’s in love with me
Fooled by bat-a-man
He makes me wash the dishes and sinks,
Can’t stand bat-a-man!
Damn you bat-a-man
She hates him – she’ll find a way to make him pay
She’ll teach him – tell Gotham News, Batman is Bruce Wayne!
She lies and says she’s in love with him
Takes photos of bat-a-man
The news agreed on a hefty sum,
Thank you bat-a-man
I love bat-a-man!
My entry needs to be explained – it is my version of Better Man by Pearl Jam. I’ve called it Bat-a-man.
Sung to tune of Oasis – She’s Electric
o~pen gizmodo
open the news in a window
Found a thing i’d never expected
I’ve gotta write a song
why should i bother?
why should i even attempt it?
and then on the site i finally saw it
I saw the prize
it was a leeeego game
it was batman also
oh it was su-blime
those heeeeavenly bricks
i just want to hold them
oh it waaaas,
oh i just want that psp,
playing with it happily,
giz, thanks for everything.
you are majestic, i’m sucking up to you
Listen to my story about a little minifig,
fighting crime though he’s not really big.
Lego Batman he’s a tough ass dude,
but his methods are a sometimes crude.
Bif!, Pow!, KaPow!.
Well the Joker he is a green haired freak,
busts out of jail every other week.
Always smiling never had frown,
trying to steal everything in town.
With Harlequin that is, Jewels, Bombs, antique guitars.
Well Batman will catch the Joker in the end,
put him back in jail, Giz my friend.
Then for a while we’ll be safe from pain,
until Lego Joker busts out again.
Gotham City, Freak Central, City of Screwed.
The Penguin’s coming soon y’hear?.
to tune of Paul Henning – The Ballad of Jed Clampett (Beverly Hillbillies)
All Summer Long – Kid Rock
It was 1939, Bob Kane had a great idea
A guy somewhere between a bat and man
His name was Mr Wayne he had a secret identity
Came from a place named Gotham city
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Driving in a jet car
Alfred was his butler
His powers let him fight crime everywhere
He didn’t have no mean intent
Batman I will never forget
The way your bright light shines up in the air
Giz makes me buy new things
Plus has comps to win some things
Putting entries in comps on our favourite site
Pulling Lego out the bottle, not thinking ‘bout the model
Singing sweet home Gotham City all summer long
Singing sweet home Gotham City all summer long
Put my iPhone in its dock
Listen to songs that make me rock
Don’t play anything that has blues or soul
Playing blister in the sun
Couldn’t wait for new apps to come
To hit that download button to play some games
We were building Lego things
Especially cool star wars things
Making Lego out on the decks our favourite thing
Put the Lego in the bottle, forget ‘bout the model
Singing sweet home Gotham City all summer long
Singing sweet home Gotham City all summer long
Now nothing seems as great a when Nick does a Giz update
Or how the LHC would make the world end
Sometimes I get a tip, can’t wait to send it in
Oh man I’d like to win this comp oh yeah
Giz makes me buy new things
Plus has comps to win some things
Putting entries in comps on our favourite site
Pulling Lego out the bottle, not thinking ‘bout the model
Singing sweet home Gotham City all summer long
Singing sweet home Gotham City all summer long
Singing sweet home Gotham City all summer long
—- Titanic – My Heart Will Go On —–
Every night in Joker’s dreams
Batman pleases him & teases him
and that’s not Lego’s fault, go on.
Far out, those costumes with bondage…
and strawberries with ice-cream
Giz has come to show you go on.
PSP or your PC
wherever they are,
I believe their love does go on.

To the tune of, “I’m Ronery” – by Kim Jong Il
I’m lego,
I’m lego,
I’ve been lego all along.
But the Guys at,
Gizmodo,
Don’t want me in their little song.
I’ve tried really hard not to come off too gay, but no matter what people all tend to
say;
“Hey there goes Batman … But who is that Fag, (in the tight lycra jumpsuit trying to
look all cool and shit, hangin out with Lego Batman … )”
I’m lego … and i’m hetro …. so fuck you Gizmodo.
There’s someone i can relate to, who feels all my types of pain.
Exclusion, Misconstrusion, and getting put down everyday.
He tried really hard just to lend out a hand, but all they could see was some man on man
plan.
It not all his fault that he comes off like this ….
He’s Lego … C3-PO …. and fuck all you at Giz.
People of Giz Lego, be at ease
City’s like a prison,but Batman got the keys
Sometimes you hateit , but u cant live without it
Giz Lego city, now where’s my royalties
to the tune of Gotham city-R kELLY
To ‘House of the Rising Sun’
There is a game on the PSP
Lego Batman to be won
Giz declared there would be three
But I want only one.
To “I’d love to have a beer with Duncan”
I love to win a game of Lego Batman
I love to win a game like that
I love my video games man
But there’s no PSP in my Flat.
I’d play in the lounge and kitchen
I’d even play on the floor
The missus would be bitchin’
But I’d show her the door.
