Background music for the OotS

[waterpenguin43]

I need a background song for each individual member of the OotS, so far I can think of a great one for Durkon and Haley only:
-:roy: Ain't no mountain high enough (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph5iadqH3Eg), by Diana Ross
-:haley: The song I chose for her is: Money -by Pink Floyd (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXQg7Oir1Bg)
-:durkon: No question, Canadian idiot. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_TfBbR6L0M). For self-explanitory reasons.
-:vaarsuvius: I told you I was freaky. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dAgTpIiI2I&feature=related) by Flight of the Conchords, I don't know what make me think about V in this, but something makes it feel perfect.
-:elan: Tribute (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcJwz7wu8_s) by Tenacious D.
-:belkar: Another one bites the dust. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNQRfBAzSzo) by Queen. How on EARTH did I miss this?!
Thanks, now there all chosen.

[Froogleyboy]

Canadian Idiot for Durkon? For shame! It has to be Immigrant Song (http://www.lyricsfreak.com/l/led+zeppelin/immigrant+song_20082032.html)!

[FujinAkari]

I think Sick Puppies - You're Going Down (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2bohKixLt8) fits Belkar very well... "Define your meaning of War... to me its what we do when we're bored" :P

[charl]

Elan could have Caramelldansen.

[Darius1020]

i think Handlebars by Flobots (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuK2A1ZqoWs) fits V's pride pretty well

Yes! Hammar of the gods (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d81ovrP82S8) and all that.

Of course, for Belkar there are some rather obvious choices (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hka8jKueLaQ).

For Elan the song Tribute (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcJwz7wu8_s) strikes me because 1) it's very silly, 2) it tells a story and is generally in a kind of bard-y style, and 3) it's about defeating a demon with music, which is more-or-less the bard's whole shtick. Or, at least, they wish it was. The song doesn't seem entirely right to me, but it's a thought.

The Devil Went Down to Georgia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FRtkek-Et4) is another one along the same vein. (Video chosen because stop motion is a lost art form. Probably not the best version as far as the music goes.)

[EndlessWrath]

:belkar:Slaughter your world (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcbazH6aE2g)?

[MReav]

-:elan: A song that suits an annoying, childish, bard. (Other than rickroll)


Albuquerque by Weird Al.

[averagejoe]

Albuquerque by Weird Al.

That's actually a pretty good idea.

Also, for the same guy, The Safety Dance. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcOZ6xFxJqg)

All my suggestions seem to be for Elan. Um, for Belkar there's always the Genocide Song. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLeWvh1yb1A) (Also in English! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTX0zRiSWp8&feature=related))

Also for Belkar, Another one Bites the Dust. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNQRfBAzSzo)

Somehow it fits, think of it....

:elan: A long time ago, me and my buddy Roy here...
:roy: Meh.
:elan:...we were adventuring down the long, lonesome road.

[charl]

How about Pinball Wizard (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOUqRZkR8dE) for V, referring to his bumping back and forth over the morality line.

[Asta Kask]

-:vaarsuvius: Some sort of song involving androginy or arcana. I don't know.

The Wizard? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCjspyo-_aI)

[waterpenguin43]

Thanks. I'll look into these.

:xykon: Bad To The Bone- George Thorogood & The Destroyers

[Nimrod's Son]

-:durkon: No question, Canadian idiot. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_TfBbR6L0M). For self-explanitory reasons.
Self-explanatory? It's a song in which every single line is mocking Canada. What does Durkon have to do with Canada? The only line in the whole song that fits him at all is the "Can't understand a thing they're talking aboot" one.

I don't really associate Durkon with cheesy pop-punk, either. As others have said, "Immigrant Song" fits him to a tee. He even uses it as a battle cry in one of the bonus strips.


:xykon: Bad To The Bone- George Thorogood & The Destroyers
Yes. Especially since it's the tagline on the back of SoD.

[Jagos]

Roy is a Determinator. Nothing's gonna break his stride (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZw2m4Zj_CE)

[veti]

Alternative suggestions:
:roy: "Ain't No Mountain High Enough (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph5iadqH3Eg)" - for determination
:durkon: "Tubthumping (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm4iU0yx9GY)" - for services to bartenders
:vaarsuvius: "Firestarter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmin5WkOuPw)" - for specialism, although really the lyrics and attitude would fit Belkar just as well
:elan: "Sing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYjcNR7W-Ow)" - for incurable optimism and simplemindedness
:haley: "You & Your Hand (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eP1GCCS-hrk)" - for general attitude, and the line "Keep your drink just give me the money"
:belkar: "War Machine", which I've never heard and really don't want to, but the lyrics (http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/WAR-MACHINE-lyrics-Kiss/FD2E542C2FB7EF6648256A8B000AA759) are a perfect fit.

[Water-Smurf]

Try finding instrumental music for character themes. Popular songs complete with lyrics generally distract from what anyone is saying, so those are only used for really cool action sequences.

Recloak's Revolution: Primo Victoria (http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_T4lzDUxNlk)

[Lvl45DM!]

Durkon's canadian idiot?
Ye have chosen....poorly
Hi Ho Hi Ho would be better!!:smalleek:
and the same for the i told you i was freaky...V is anything BUT freaky in the bedroom...you could go Black Magic Woman for V or Evil Ways...those wouldnt be very good but better than a comedy song about weird sex
I liked pinball wizard

[charl]

No, clearly Durkon needs a song about Vikings. How about... this? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anwy2MPT5RE)

[Prowl]

For Durkon: "The Trees" - RUSH, Hemispheres... complete with anthromorphological trees.

[esmerelder]

What about Blur's 'Girls and Boys' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATWnH-yb6-o) for V and/or Kyrie?

Girls who are boys
who like boys to be girls
who do boys like they're girls
who do girls like they're boys,
Always should be someone you really love...

Or maybe it should just be the theme song for the Crack Pairings thread instead :smallbiggrin:

[Asta Kask]

:haley: Money, money, money (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCkOmcIl79s)

Therkla: Gimme, gimme, gimme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibtOshtX7T0&feature=related)

:elan: Thank you for the music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WauFkb4jmCI&feature=related)

[Lvl45DM!]

Oh the Trees by rush WOULD be good for Durkon
as well "short people" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NvgLkuEtkA) for durkon considering his spamming of thors might

[Hardcore]

From War and XPs page 323a:

Durkon has started sing "Immigrant Song".

Elan: "Wait a minute. Is that a dwarven battle challenge, or are those just Led Zeppelin Lyrics?"

Roy: "Both. It turns out that Led Zeppeling lyrics ARE a valid dwarven battle challenge."



Quite fun piece actually with durkon challenging a tree to combat:)

[Mystic Muse]

I think Belkar should have "when you're evil."

[Glass Mouse]

For :vaarsuvius: , how about Androgony (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cizBRwETDwc)

Immigrant song for :durkon:, no doubt.

How about :redcloak:? I can't help but feel that Salvation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07K-mapOKvI) is a good match.

He sings THREE Led Zeppelin songs. "The Immigrants", "No Quarter (http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/No-quarter-lyrics-Led-Zeppelin/CAF962D10084942248256887000303EC)" (also very Durkon as Thor is in it) and "Dancing Days (http://www.lyricsfreak.com/l/led+zeppelin/dancing+days_20081963.html)". Roy pulls him away from the tree before he tells it it's "climbing a stairway to heaven."

Kudos to Burlew for merging "The Immigrants" with "No Quarter", I actually thought they were the same song but my Dad (a big Zeppelin fan) told me there were three.

[CoffeeIncluded]

If it's for the entire cast, and not just the Order itself, then...

I dunno, but I think "Us and Them" fits Redcloak pretty well.

...With, without
And who denies
It's what the
Fighting's all about...

[The Blackbird]

:elan: Magic Power (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaEetORhD-I)

[Berserk Monk]

:belkar:Slaughter your world (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcbazH6aE2g)?

or Xykon. I mean, he is undead and Richard mentions the fact that he is in the song.

Also, as a whole, I once listened to the Beginning is the End is the Beginning is the End (however many times that repeats) by Smashing Pumpkins while reading SoD and it really set the mood.

[TheBST]

How about :redcloak:?

It Ain't Easy Being Green

[CoffeeIncluded]

I think that "Us and Them" would be a good choice for Redcloak.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlY-JlE5ZCo

[Hardcore]

Cool Katana, didn't know that! That add new meaning to Roys comment!

Didn't know either that Zeppelin had made two songs with Viking motif. Maybe this could be a clue to what Rich like to listen too?:)

[Katana_Geldar]

Thank my Dad, he likes that sort of music and happened to be sitting next to me when I read the comic. And I found another link to Led Zeppelin in the title of that bonus strip The Song Remains the Same (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Song_Remains_the_Same_(song))

[Asta Kask]

:belkar: Bad Place Alone (http://www.kovideo.net/lyrics/a/Alice-Cooper/Bad-Place-Alone.html)

Especially the chorus:

Hey blood brother, you're one of our own
You're as sharp as a razor
And as hard as a stone
Hey blood brother, you're bad to the bone
You're a natural killer
In a bad place alone

:sabine: You're My Temptation (http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/You%27re-My-Temptation-lyrics-Alice-Cooper/7965B76F851803E448256C4700276041)

[Asta Kask]

He sings THREE Led Zeppelin songs. "The Immigrants", "No Quarter (http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/No-quarter-lyrics-Led-Zeppelin/CAF962D10084942248256887000303EC)" (also very Durkon as Thor is in it) and "Dancing Days (http://www.lyricsfreak.com/l/led+zeppelin/dancing+days_20081963.html)". Roy pulls him away from the tree before he tells it it's "climbing a stairway to heaven."

Have you seen Durkon and the Scruffinator (http://users.wolfcrews.com/toys/vikings/viking_kittens.swf) sing the Immigrant Song?

[Samurai Jill]

There was a big thread on the subject before (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92536). My personal picks are here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5031822&postcount=24).

I suspect a lot of the music vids have been taken down by now. Well, you kids all have google anyways...

I still can't think of one for V. -with one possible exception (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd07uvkTeKo). (Tongue in cheek.)

[Kaytara]

V's easy. We Are (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jQEnt8aJ84) sounds like it was literally written about V in book 4. Not sure what to use now that he's cooled down, though...

...That's not a bad fit, actually. Tone isn't ideal, but the lyrics are a good match.
