    Another XMTS Song (With Apologies to The Eagles)

    In the dark deep internet, checking for those in the kilted know
    Bright lights of my monitor, lighting my room with their glow
    One hit on the search page, seemed just right
    Something about the name hit the spot
    I had to check out the site
    There I looked at the portal;
    I thought I heard the bagpipes play
    And I was thinking to myself,
    ’this could be a place I’d like to stay’
    Then I started searching the forums and I found what I was looking for
    There were so many great threads about kilts,
    I kept reading more…

    Welcome to the X Marks the Scot
    Such a lovely site
    One that feels just right
    Plenty of room at X Marks the Scot
    If kilts are your taste, then this is the right place.

    The members’ minds are pleated, they all got tartan hearts
    They got such handsome outfits, highland style turned into fine arts
    How they preen in their photos, in great kilted style.
    Some dress just for themselves and some to make the ladies smile

    So I emailed a kilt store
    I wrote "please send me a kilt!"
    They responded quickly “ Just one Sir? You know that you will need more!“
    And all those members writing from so far away,
    I read their posts in the middle of the night
    Just to hear them say...

    Welcome to the X Marks the Scot
    Such a lovely site
    One that feels just right
    They’re all jonesing at X Marks the Scot
    What a pleasant wait, what made me hesitate?

    Good fellowship in the forums,
    Politeness in the posts
    We all get along so well around the world and coast to coast
    And when the Moderators gather ,
    They look at a kilted membership thousands strong
    They hardly need to interfere,
    Because on X Marks everyone can belong

    Last thing I remember, I was
    falling asleep
    I had to shut down my computer
    Before I got in too deep
    ’relax,’ wrote a Moderator,
    “but Kilted Newbie, don’t be naive.
    You can logout any time you like,
    But you can never leave!”


    Cheers

    Jamie

    the best verse in the song Jamie. I logout all the time, but find myself returning, returning, returning. Good job.

    Have you read my kilted version of Quiet Riot's "Bang your Head"?

    You could go for three songs...

    Cheers

    Well I'm an Kilt Wearer, Devil Darer
    Fashion Police says I haven’t got a prayer
    Took a while, I’ve got Style
    Ladies all give me a great big smile
    I'm like a claymore, 24 pound Braemar
    I’ve a thirst so pass the Dalmore
    I’m conceited!
    Make it pleated!
    The kilted man is undefeated!

    CHORUS :
    To the hilt! Head Bangers wear your Kilt!
    To the hilt! Head Bangers wear your Kilt!

    Well I'm wrecked
    Been decked. I really want to be Kilt Checked
    Dressed like a Scot, yeah I’m hot
    I’ll be leaving with your girlfriend, so thanks a lot!
    I got the pipes, I’ve earned my stripes
    Won't ever settle for less
    Hope it shows you
    Stop your babble
    No place to dabble
    Well now you're here
    Welcome to the Rabble!

    CHORUS :
    To the hilt! Head Bangers wear your Kilt!
    To the hilt! Head Bangers wear your Kilt!

    Kilted Metal rocks harder!
    Kilted Metal is my fave!
    Kilted Metal shakes your pleats
    It's what you have to have

    [Bagpipe solo]

    To the Hilt
    Wear your Kilt
    We're all Highland Lads
    Forget your fads
    So wear your Kilt
    To the hilt!
    Oh yeah!
    Wear your Kilt
    Show how your built
    Built built

    Oh get your Prince Charlie jackets on tonight Oh
    To the Hilt! Wear your KILT!
    The cool guys are gonna set your pleats right Rock on Rock on Rock on
    To the Hilt! Wear your KILT!

    Wear your KILT! Wear your KILT!



    With apologies to Quiet Riot

    Cheers
