Theme Songs For OotS Characters
So, since we are discussing the
possibilitydreampointless wish of an OotS Cinematic experience, I am thinking we need to put some thought into the theme songs of the characters.
Roy - The theme song from Shaft, obviously
Haley - A redo of Street Rat from Alladin in Pat Benatar's voice, (and guitar.) Optionally, Pink Floyd's Money
Durkon - Ride of the Valkries
Elan - Searching For A Rainbow by The Marshall Tucker Band
Vaarsuvius - Olivia Newton-John's Magic
Belkar - Deathklok's Murder Train a Comin
Hilgya - Cindy Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Xykon - Dwayne Johnson's You're Welcome from Moana, because Xykon enjoys irony.
I'm sure my suggestions are both dated and wrong, so feel free to tell me exactly why your selections are better!

Re: Theme Songs For OotS Characters
I rather suspect that Elan is a big fan of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'".
I could see Redcloak appreciating Kendrick Lamar -- or, alternatively, he's a purely string-quartet kind of guy.
O-Chul's theme, of course, is "Stayin' Alive" ... and Lien's is the shark theme from "Jaws."

Re: Theme Songs For OotS Characters
I see V as a David Bowie fan, but perhaps I'm just stereotyping. V also has had a Stones song and a Cash song directly associated with them via strip titles.
Though it's not one he'd likely choose, Nale's theme song is absolutely inevitable: "Complicated" by Avril LevigneLast edited by godsflunky; 2018-08-10 at 08:49 PM. Reason: Clarity + a new idea

Re: Theme Songs For OotS Characters
Would "Immigrant Song" be too cliche for Durkon?
Maybe "Sympathy for the Devil" for Xykon. and "should I stay or should I go" to Redcloak

"Magic" would be better as Blackwing's. V's should be "Fix you" by Coldplay.

I like "The Hands That Thieve" by Streetlight Manifesto and "Was It Worth It" by Keyshia Cole for Redcloak, and "The Long Way Around" by the Dixie Chicks for Right-eye.

Re: Theme Songs For OotS Characters
Yeah, this topic comes up from time to time.
Belkar- Firestarter
Durkon- Sysyphus
Elan- Counting Flowers On the Wall, Unbelievable
Haley- Hurt, The Ecstasy of Gold
"I wear my crown of thorns upon my liar's chair, full of broken thoughts I cannot repair."
Nale/Sabine- Reptile
Xykon/RC- Ruiner
"Now the only thing left in my ****ing world is wearing your disease."
Celia- Call Me Call Me
Miko- Crazy, Sinnerman
"My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb. And all I remember is thinking I want to be like them."
...I can never think of a good one for Roy or V.Last edited by Lacuna Caster; 2018-09-22 at 08:02 AM.

Re: Theme Songs For OotS Characters
All Beatles Theme Songs! (For when they reach the Blue Meanies) :
Roy - "Revolution" (No, not the convoluted #9)
Durkon - "I Don't Want To Spoil The Party" (or maybe "Hey Jude" - except it's "Hey Thor")
Haley - One of three: "You Never Give Me Your Money", "Money (That's What I Want)", "Taxman"
Vaarsuvius - "Tomorrow Never Knows" (Though maybe "Rain" might fit, too)
Elan - "Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da" or "I Am The Walrus"
Belkar - "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" (Either that or "Helter Skelter")
Celia - "All You Need Is Love"Last edited by jwhouk; 2018-10-14 at 01:10 PM.

Re: Theme Songs For OotS Characters
You have excellent taste in music, Korvin. I like Durkon's in particular.
I suppose if we're going that route with Roy, I guess Father and Son is a straightforward pick? And The Beginning is the End is the Beginning probably suits Redcloak.Give directly to the extreme poor.

Re: Theme Songs For OotS Characters
Eh, dated isn't so bad. It's all been downhill since 1973 anyway.
I can't decide if adapting OOTS for the silver screen would be an impossible folly or a good excuse for some desperately needed streamlining.
Oh my- two fine bands that I've never listened to before. My cup runneth over.
I like the instrumental piece in particular. Does anyone have suggestions for Thog or the MitD? I feel like they should.Give directly to the extreme poor.

Re: Theme Songs For OotS Characters
For Thog: Dead Puppies (Doktor Demento)
alternately, since he likes ice cream The Monkees, Pleasant Valley Sunday
which he hears as Pleasant Valley Sundae
For MiTD: Weird Al Yankovic: Eat It (Parody of Michael Jackson's Beat It)Last edited by KorvinStarmast; 2018-09-23 at 10:12 AM.

I think Xykon should be Voltaire's When You're Evil.
Non caerulea sum, Caerulea nomen meum est.

Re: Theme Songs For OotS Characters
I logged in for the first time in five years or so just to say that Xykon's theme song is obviously George Thorogood - Bad to the Bone.
There. See you in another five.I participated!

I think we can all agree that Therkla spent too much time listening to "On My Own" from Les Mis, can we not?

Re: Theme Songs For OotS Characters
Hard to argue with that one.
I had not ever heard Disturbed's version: so I had to go and listen to it. Thanks! I love their cover of that song. (But I'd rather just hear it than watch that video on youtube ...) Your choices fit very nicely. Natalie Imbruglia? Yeah.Last edited by KorvinStarmast; 2018-10-15 at 02:13 PM.
