All right. I admit it. I miss you guys (a lot!). So since I don't have the time to play or run a game right now, I'm bringing this back. For fun and laughter =P Lesson learnt from last time where people kept posting songs that I simply could not sing ahah. I do relatively well with *slower* songs, so a recorded version is more likely to happen if the song is not super fast  Start writing! (Leif, I'm looking at you) |

I was going to do 'Another One/Rogue Bites the Dust' but then my creative thoughts dried up  |

‘Bandwagon Anthem’ (‘Follow Me’ by Uncle Kracker www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Gjx-ZQuQ_Y)You don’t know who to vote for The lynch is tied You can’t choose abstain and you can’t decide. But I’ve got a new bandwagon, And if you join in, We’ll all be headed straight for a townie win. I’m singin’ Follow me, cause I know that I’m right We’ve got to lynch him to survive till night And if you wanna switch then you’re welcome to But when we’re all banned it’ll be on you. I’m not worried bout the holes in my case Cause I know we’re getting close to the end of the chase. He’s lookin’ guilty, from my point of view, So pile on your vote and we’ll railroad it through. We’re singin’ Follow us, cause we know that we’re right We’ve got to lynch him to survive till night And if you wanna switch, then you’re welcome to, But when we’re all banned it’ll be on you. Can’t give you logic I got no reasons why (Just take my word for it that he’s our guy) The case is twisted and the truth’s been bent, but We’re just one vote shy of fifty percent! Follow us, cause we know that we’re right We’ve got to lynch him to survive till night And if you wanna switch then you’re welcome to But when we’re all banned it’ll be on you The deadline has gone past now The vote is shut I guess that the case on him was mostly gut... So my thought process this time Was not that sound But I’ve got some great ideas to share next round. I'm singin'... |

Townies, to the tune of Royals by Lorde. I've never seen a rogue tell in the flesh I cut my teeth on Arg booches, in theory And I'm not proud of my post count, They're mostly short; novella envy. And everybody's like let's post meta, look at that JMT. Last sec we'll vote, where could everyone be? We don't care, we're lynching mean rogues in our dreams. And everybody's like don't vote, misrep, but that's just semantics. Rogue tell, Arg booch, that's a Jedi mind trick. We don't care, we aren't caught up in your lynch affair. We're so glad to be townies (townies). We don't have to agree, That consensus just ain't for us. We crave a different kind of buzz. I wanna be innocent, You can gimme FoI And baby I'll coast, I'll coast, I'll coast, I'll coast. Let me live that fantasy. My friends and I – we've cracked the code. We won't post suspicions in the thread until end of day. And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this, We'll just vote whatever. And everybody's like let's post meta, look at that JMT. Last sec we'll vote, where could everyone be? We don't care, we're lynching mean rogues in our dreams. And everybody's like don't vote, misrep, but that's just semantics.

I kind of feel a bit guilty about posting this, given AL and Leif have actually followed instructions and come up with songs that Wrecker can sing. Good songs that ring true to ROMS life and made me giggle. But anyway, this is what I've come up with. I don't really expect Wrecker to attempt it, mostly because I completely disregarded the stipulations about song type. It isn't slow, it is a rock song - and honestly, it probably works better written than sung anyway, given it can be difficult to make out all of the lyrics in the original. But hey, I wrote it, so I might as well post it, I guess. I am actually trying to come up with something sensible that Wrecker might be able to do, but until then, here: (Based on "One Last Thrill" - Slash ft. Myles Kennedy) Seems like the rogues are doomed as night starts fading into morning Just posting here I'm in a nightmare, will it never end? No, I don't like it Nowhere to go from here, the same old tired situation Caught in their gaze, I can't escape, I'm doing something wrong It's all monotony, it's gotten me nowhere, just doubt I'm flirting with the fire Cos they remember I said whatever I took the fall when we were whole and free When things were better, back in the best of times One last kill, if only Give me a chance to fight Cos all I need is one break Just one last kill before I die Back in the thread the town is clamouring for my attention With all their monologues I've read a million times before They say I'm lying I'm scared to death, they keep on nagging but I don't remember Their lack of trust makes it a suicide, I can't endure And if I can't get out of this I know I'm gonna die I'm heading for the fire Then I remember They did whatever Get someone else to hang instead of me It'll get better, could be the best of times One last kill, my own way If I can see tonight All I want's a last taste Just one last kill before I die And now I feel like I felt before I'm looking town-like and nothing more But the devil down in me will never die By night I revel in ecstasy By night you're dying because of me But by day I know I'm flying I ain't gonna let these moments pass me by So wave bye bye bye... [guitar solo] One last kill as always Hope they don't see the light And all I need is one day Just one last kill before I One last kill, you know it It's gonna end tonight The town will get a last taste Of one last kill before they die. |

^Dig it, stop apologizing!
Only the chorus of 'One of Us' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZEO1Lug25s):
What if mods are just like us?
Bad at counting in a rush?
Hoping we won't make a fuss
When they get the votes wroooong...

Make Your Vote the Hammer, to the tune of Make Your Bed the River by Neko Case. Make your vote the hammer young girl Make your vote the hammer young girl La la la la la la: Make your vote the hammer young girl Did you come here to lynch me my dear You're surprised to find him ahead Well I made him stand on the hangman's platform Now you put the noose round his neck. There is no time to be so uncertain Just one outcome satisfies me That the roguish blackguard will now take his plunge And ship off to the Island of Limes. Make your vote the hammer young girl Make your vote the hammer young girl You know he should swing so you tie him in Make your vote the hammer young girl So go vote, though you tremble inside. There is no where left you can hide. And if there's a chance that the town doesn't spot you They are far more foolish than I Make your vote the hammer young girl Make your vote the hammer young girl You know he should swing so you tie him in Make your vote the hammer young girl Make your vote the hammer young girl |

In the context of the song you just posted, I find that statement quite menacing, actually.

I am struggling to fit the lyrics to AL's song into the actual tune.
Furare's song is going to have to wait at least a couple months before I even try =P
I have not listened to Leif's yet. I am apprehensive =P

I wouldn't be apprehensive, Leif's should work fine. Well, his second one should work well for you, anyway. (I would honestly just love to hear your voice with its sweet tone do a cover of Make Your Bed The River, never mind the ROMS parody version. Heh.) And mine wasn't really intended for you to sing. |

Haha. All right, I just listened. I will be flying off soon, but will try to cover at least one song before I go. Sorry AL! Will need to figure out how to alter your lyrics so I can sing. I will probably take one of Leif's cause at the moment I can match the words up better.
Also caught up with my own songwriting at the moment, I've been experimenting with fitting music to some of my poems. It's been interesting!
Edit: The lyrics to Make Your Bed The River are. Uhm. Disturbing, to say the least. I thought it was a nice song until I googled the lyrics O.O

I'm not sure if this is any better, but... it's kinda country meets heavy metal? >.> Now I think of it, this is the first time I wrote a parody song from a town PoV. Not sure what that means about me... (Based on "Gunslinger" by Avenged Sevenfold.) You've strung me along I've been wrong for far too long After all this town's been through After all this time I'm coming after you You never let it show By gut I've come to know And now all these things you do They don't matter 'cos I'm coming after you So reach for the sky, and say your goodbyes My vote's always for you now No more questions why so many have died My eyes have seen right through you And now everything you do It don't matter, 'cos I'm coming after you Vengeance keeps me warm Helps me through this storm No, they don't see what I do But I'll show them 'cos I'm coming after you So reach for the sky, and say your goodbyes My vote's always for you now No more questions why so many have died My eyes have seen right through you And now everything you do It don't matter, 'cos I'm coming after you I'm telling it true I've waited so long just to come hang you You won't make it through It's been far too long I've proven my case over time's so strong It's all up for you Those bans in the night Helped me see the light To bring me closer to knowing - it's you. [instrumental] After all that we've been through You should know now that we're coming after you So reach for the sky and say your goodbyes My vote's always for you now The whole town knows why so many have died Our eyes have seen right through you And now everything you do It don't matter, 'cos we're coming after you And now everything you do It won't matter, you can't stop it now, you're through. |

I swear this was easier the last time I tried it. I have been trying to sing Make Your Vote the Hammer, but it's not working out the way I want it to. Ah well. I was fooling around with a new phone app that I got. The results were actually kind of entertaining. Have some early Christmas greetings =D www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDrf4fJjZeM |
