"Vibranium" - "Titanium" parody for Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther)
Okay, so here's the real reason I learned "Titanium".
My first thought was, of
course, let's do a "Vibranium" parody of "Titanium", to celebrate the life of heroic Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman, who we'd just lost a day or two before the Season was announced.
This man was surely made of part vibranium, the (fictional) strongest material in the world, found on the earth only in the African nation of Wakanda, guided by its benevolent leader Black Panther.
For four years, he continued making movies, including "Black Panther" ... where he Did All His Own Stunts ... while receiving chemo for colon cancer ... and no one on set knew!
If steel is allowed, I'm sure fictional materials are good too, right?
My parody lyrics (below) encapsulate most of the plot of "Black Panther", so yeah, SPOILERS. But seriously - you haven't seen it yet? See it!!!
(I re-watched "Black Panther" on Disney+ the other night ... I did
not remember enough of the plot to write this song without it. So you're forgiven if you don't remember most of this - I sure didn't.)

Chords & Lyrics
INTRO: C-G-Am-Am x 2
VERSE: C-G-Am-Am
We're hiding out
We have the strongest metal in the world
Behind a cloud, in Africa
We can't be found
We pretend we're just a dirt-poor land
If you found us out, there'd be a war
CHORUS: F-G-Em7-Am
We have the best ... technology
We have remote-driving cars
We have the suits, they're bulletproof
They look like a necklace until
You need them, then they appear
We have vibranium
We can do ... anything
We have vibranium
SOLO: F-G-Em7-Am x 2
VERSE: C-G-Am-Am
I am the King
I became King when my father died
I won the challenge, I nearly died
I drank the herb ... my father appeared in a dream
He told me that, I would succeed
CHORUS: F-G-Em7-Am
My sister's lab, gave me the suit
She invents everything
My girlfriend's a spy who
Saves other Africans
Our warriors ... are Amazons
We have vibranium
My cousin is Killmonger
He wants our vibranium
SOLO: F-G-Em7-Am x 2
BRIDGE: F-G-Em7-Am
Wakanda, forever
Black Panther will save the day
And then we ... will save the whole world
CHORUS: F-G-Em7-Am / F-G-Am-Am
We'll share it ... with everyone
We'll share our vibranium
We'll start a ... foundation
To share our vibranium
We'll end all ... racism
'Cause we have vibranium
The UN won't listen
But we have vibranium
F-G-Em7-Am / F-G-Em7-Am / Am
We have vibranium
We have vibranium (end on Am)
