Bardcore

[Bloodcloud]

Ok, so I'm currently playing a bard in a campaign.

Now, I also discovered that Bardcore is a thing, and I want a song for all my spells. But I need help!

Here is my spell list:
Minor image:
Dissonant whisper:
Healing word: I will survive by Gloria Gaynor
Shatter: Thunderstruck by ACDC
Silence: Sound of silence by Simon and Garfunkel
Heat Metal: Drop it like it's hot
Leomund's tiny hut: Umbrella by Rihanna
Hypnotic pattern: Hypnotize by System of a down

I also got some for the future, including Hips don't lie for zone of truth, Bad romance for Charm Person, Seven Nation army for summon spells.

But Playground, give me ideas for popular songs to represent bard spells, especially if it already has a bardcore cover.

Edit: added links to the bardcore covers I found

Im not 100% sure what bardcore means (though I can guess), but for Heat Metal may I suggest "Hot Hot Hot" by Buster Poindexter?

For the curious: bardcore mostly got rolling online during 2020, and it's basically music covers / remixes made in a medieval-sounding style. So, for instance, these versions of Bad Romance and Pumped Up Kicks. You might've seen some, or those ones specifically, already.

Oh wow, this is even better then I imagined. I'm going to end up spending hours down this rabbit hole.

**** you by Lily Allen makes for a good all purpose Vicious mockery.

Hypnotic Pattern: Blinded by the Light (Use Manfred Mann's Earth Band version, I think) Or The Boss's original version. (Bruce Springstien)

I sang the opening bars to that this weekend when my bard cast that spell.

I found a bardcore cover of Drop it like it's hot, so that works... Edited it into the main post.

Just so you know, I have now inflicted this Bad Romance cover on everyone I know. Because it works, and I am still sorting through and making sense of the feelings I have about this fact.

I'd assign it to the Friends cantrip...

I feel like that's closer to a Rad Bromance, but fair.
