View Full Version : Soundtrack of the Stick

If the Order of the Stick had a sountrack of custom songs, what would be on it?

We know, of course, that "O Buddy Roy" would be among it, but let's try and work out the other tracks. Maybe someone who can sing could even record them, and we'd have an actual soundtrack to listen to. That'd be neat.

So, hey, submit any song ideas you have. I'll keep this post as a tracklist. I'll assume just twelve tracks for now. Listed as name, singer, and writer.

-1 - *****
00 - "Bluff the Stupid Ogre" - Elan the Bard (Giant)
01 - "What would Thor Do?" - Durkon Thundershield (Clamps)
02 - *****
03 - "Spider Dudes" - Elan the Bard (Giant; No Cure)
04 - "Won't you come leave the Inn with me?" - Elan the Bard (Giant)
05 - *****
06 - "How to End a Life" - Miko Miyazaki (Clamps, below)
07 - *****
08 - "Sexy Shoeless God of War" - Belkar Bitterleaf (TheNovak)
09 - "Oh Buddy Roy" - Elan the Bard (Giant)
10 - *****
11 - *****
12 - *****



If we end up with recordings (And the Giant appoves), this may be actually distributed via bittorrent of something. Let's cross that bridge when we get there, though.


And, my first submission, which I have greedily placed into spot 6. Mehe.



"Prayer to The Gods"
To the Tune of...How to Save a Life, by the Fray.

I am a special Paladin
Chosen by the twelve Azurite Gods
I do faithfully the gods' will
I do faithfully smite evil
I am an icon for what's right
As the gods will, so am I right
I know that their wisdom is sage
I confess I wonder why I'm beige

[CHORUS]
How could I go wrong? I lost a friend
I saw that Shojo met his end.
And now I've prayed to you all night
What's wrong with me ending his life?

You showed me the way to truth
Past his lies and to the truth
He was guilty of treason
Though I know not the reason
Everything he's ever done is wrong
He's in league with the lich Xykon
And Roy Greenhilt is with him
And Roy Greenhilt is with him!

[CHORUS]

As Hinjo talks about a trial
There's no time to explain he's in denial
Push Shojo down in his throne
Turn it to a combat zone
He dies, and down comes lightning
Now my robes are de-whitening
I know that it was heaven sent
Though I'm confused as to just what it meant

[CHORUS x2]

Me ending his life....
Me ending his life...

[CHORUS X2]

Me ending his life....
Me ending his life....

"What is love?" - by Something Haddaway

IT would be good with the Haley Elan subplot.

Baby don't hurt me no more, but I was thinking something along the line of original lyrics. I don't think Rich would approve of piracy on his board.

(Changing the lyrics of a song and putting up a recording of you singing it is legal, if you don't charge money for it. Right to parody)

I thought "I Need A Hero" was definitely appropriate for strips 386-400, albeit starting the song over a few times.

"What Is Love" is good too.

I recommend the "Lord of the Rings" soundtrack, re-orchestrated for the kazoo.

Almost any Amon Amrath songs for Belkor.

of course,...he's not an angry viking, but still...

Any number of the combat tracks from Pirates of the Caribbean would fit well with various moments during the Siege of Azure City. But that's just me.

Here's a filk I did on the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2714391#post2714391)"

Wow, it's like (almost) everyone just got excited about the thread title and ignored the OP.

Belkar needs a song. I'm pretty sure it'd be violent, wailing thrash metal.

"Sexy Shoeless God of War" - Belkar Bitterleaf

SEXAY SHOELESS GOD OF WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHRRRRRRrrrrrrrrr...

*minute and a half of mind-blowing, lightning-fast instrumentals*

SEXAY SHOELESS god of waaaaAAAAAAAHHHHHHRRRRRR!

The end.

That's Belkar alright...

We need the one where Elan's trying to get the people out of the inn. The one with 'free pudding' in it.

For your Miko one, maybe you should change "Gods, I am confused" to "How could I go wrong?" in the chorus. It's really close to the original song, but it fits Miko pretty well.

"What would Thor do?" would be a nice song.
"Arcane power"
"The battle for the blue"
"Blue doom"

"I am doing it for the money (or maybe I am not)" - Haley (wrote by anyone)

True, but it DOES sound kinda kindergarten-ish.

I'm going with "Sexy Shoeless God of War". Brings back memories - I used to play this kind of music:smallbiggrin:

Nothing for Vaarsuvius? I would go for some kind of grand symphonies, anthems, oratories, to underline his "almighty" stance. Pity Haendel is long dead, he would be great for the job.

Perhaps Beethoven's Fifth? A bit overused but certainly fits the bill of a powerful symphony.

To the tune of Baba O'Relly, by the Who (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ldxg87pDlI8)

Where the monsters dwell
I pray for my spells
So I can heal all of my teammates
They left me all alone
Now I'm on my own
Those monsters are not dietin'

Don't die
Don't wonder why
Just wonder what would Thor do?

He would kick some ass
Pour himself a glass
Of dwarven ale
Big as all the ocean
That's not really much use.
But what should Thor produce?
Hilda's still alive
With her help I can survive!

What would Thor do?
I wonder what would Thor do?
What would Thor do?
Oh, oh
What would Thor do?
He'd get the trees!

To The world By Brad Paisly. (heh heh)

In Oerth, by a displacer beast.

To the man with the really big sword
you’re just another whack
To the rogue that we never saw
You’re just a sneak attack
You don’t fit in an environment
So you don’t get to eat
if you’re just some free experience
to the adventurer’s you meet
Well that's alright, that's ok
If you don't feel important, buddy
All I've got to say is

(Chorus:)
if you’re sad
that you are a random encounter
can’t you see
that you wont be one for long

To the sorcerer with disintigrate
You’re just a pile of dust.
To the rabid frenzied Beserker
another face to bust
When you don’t fit in anywhere
Because you’re an aberration
Or when you die in your sleep
from some wizard on Vacation
That’s alright. That’s ok
if you think that you don’t matter
All I've got to say is

(Chorus)

If you feel like a Cr 2, buddy that’s just not true
When you wonder if you matter, buddy look into my eyes
And tell me, Do you really what do you want to be?

So here he comes.
Jozan the Cleric.
If you still don’t feel important,
all I’ve got to say is

(Chorus)

"I Am The Very Model Of An Evil Genius Mastermind"
to the tune of "I Am The Very Model of A Modern Major General".

Nale:
I am the very model of an evil genius mastermind,
The Linear Guild consists of me, the half-orc Thog and my Sabine,
(who, for an incarnation of illicit sex, is very fine)
along with several other dudes who tag along from time to time.
I've taken levels as a Fighter/Rogue/Sorcerer multiclass,
My talent for enchantment is especially dangerous.
Although I must admit my build is not exactly optimized...
... I should have gone Bard all the way like my idiot twin so much despised.

LG:
He should have gone Bard all the way like the idiot twin so much -
He should have gone Bard all the way like the idiot twin so much -
He should have gone Bard all the way like the idiot twin so much despised.

Nale:
I am unmatched at artifice and deception and treachery.
I come up with the ideas for our cunning schemes, naturally.
I lead this Linear Guild of mine, along with Thog and my Sabine.
I am the very model of an evil genius mastermind.

...
