Originally I was going to post this to the Arts section or something similar, but I figured what the heck- this is a song about the marines!
Freemysoul played the following during a round and suggested we come up with a Colonial Marines variant:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5qfWt1ACBw
So, I invite everyone to take a crack at customising the lyrics to fit the Marines.
The original lyrics are as follows (from the video):
1-1 To save our mother Earth from any alien attack,
1-2 From vicious giant insects who have once again come back,
1-3 We'll unleash all our forces! We won't cut them any slack!
1-4 The EDF deploys!
2-1 Our soldiers are prepared for any alien threats
2-2 The Navy launches ships, the Air Force sends their Jets
2-3 And nothing can withstand our fixed bayonets
2-4 The EDF deploys!
3-1 Our forces have now dwindled and we pull back to regroup,
3-2 The enemy has multiplied and formed a massive group,
3-3 We'd better beat these bugs before we're all turned to soup
3-4 The EDF deploys!
---
My own take: Not fantastic, but I'm happy with it.
To save Lady America from enemy attack,
By giant mutant space lizards who have tried to take a crack,
We'll send in the marines and we will take Lazarus back!
The USCMC!
Our soldiers are prepared for any alien threats,
With M41A pulse rifles and incinerator jets,
But nothing can withstand our rush of fixed bayonets,
The USCMC!
Our forces have now dwindled and we pull back to regroup,
The xenomorphs have multiplied; Bill Carson's lead a coup,
We'd better beat these bugs before we're all turned to soup,
The USCMC!

Re: The EDF Deploys
to save LV624 from any attack
we'll kill any aliens who dare take a crack
we'll deploy our mines and shoot our guns
we'll kill all the bugs
we're colonial marines!
our soldiers are prepared for any alien attack
we'll shoot our guns and hear the crack of the enemy advance
then we'll all charge in and finish off the last
we're colonial marines!
we're beaten up
we're really fucked
we gotta keep going
bill carson leads the charge
and dies to a wound
we better beat these bugs before the 4 hour mark
we're colonial marines!

Re: The EDF Deploys
1-1 We come to this region, ready to defend
1-2 From terrorists to rebels, to colonists who went off the deep end
1-3 We'll show them the power of our weaponry, and be done in a flash!
1-5 The Colonial Marines deploy!
2-1 The marines can go to toe to toe with any possible threats,
2-2 With their Pulse Rifles chatter-ing and the Medics making sure you're not dead,
2-3 And nothing can withstand a B18 user with a machete in hand,
2-4 The Colonial Marines deploys!
3-1 The Bridge has ordered a Full Retreat, to re-arm and regroup,
3-2 The enemy has multiplied and formed a massive group,
3-3 We'd better beat these bugs before we're all turned to soup
3-4 The Colonial Marines deploys!
So when can this become an emote?

Re: The EDF Deploys
1-1 To save Weyland Yutani from an alien attack,
1-2 From vicious giant lizards to miniscule face-crabs,
1-3 We'll unleash all our Sentries, we'll shoot all of our SADARs!
1-4 The USCM deploys!
2-1 Our marines are prepared for any hostile threat
2-2 The Rasp sends it's marines, the runners begin to attack
2-3 And nothing can withstand our baldie human waves
2-4 The USCM deploys!
3-1 We've lost the Rasputin and our grip of the planet
3-2 The aliens are ready to take our beloved ship,
3-3 We better hold out 'til the PMCs can make it!
3-4 The USCM deploys!
4-1 The aliens have overpowered the marines on board,
4-2 We're here to grab the CL and escape the Sulaco
4-3 We make it on the ship and see everyone is dead,
4-4 The PMCs deploy!
5-1 The last of us are hiding in the Engine of the ship
5-2 Most of us are dead, I don't think we'll make it
5-3 The Queen is decapping all the PMCs on the ship!
5-4 Let's blow up the SM Core!
6-1 The Engineer is ready to die in a blaze
6-2 The Phoron is leaking, the aliens begin shrieking
6-3 The spitters spit their acid, the doors will cave in very soon!
6-4 The SM Core explodes!
this is more about the average CM round than anything else, but why let such hard work go to waste?
