Background music for the OotS
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:
- Ain't no mountain high enough, by Diana Ross
- The song I chose for her is: Money -by Pink Floyd
- No question, Canadian idiot.. For self-explanitory reasons.
- I told you I was freaky. by Flight of the Conchords, I don't know what make me think about V in this, but something makes it feel perfect.
- Tribute by Tenacious D.
- Another one bites the dust. by Queen. How on EARTH did I miss this?!
Thanks, now there all chosen.Last edited by waterpenguin43; 2009-10-04 at 10:21 PM.

Re: Background music for the OotS
I think Sick Puppies - You're Going Down fits Belkar very well... "Define your meaning of War... to me its what we do when we're bored" :P

Re: Background music for the OotS
i think Handlebars by Flobots fits V's pride pretty well
There's now one less gnome for the Resistance to fight, right?
The Resistance isn't at war with the gnome!!!
Well of course not, not anymore. He's dead.

Re: Background music for the OotS
Yes! Hammar of the gods and all that.
Of course, for Belkar there are some rather obvious choices.
For Elan the song Tribute 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 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.)

Re: Background music for the OotS
That's actually a pretty good idea.
Also, for the same guy, The Safety Dance.
All my suggestions seem to be for Elan. Um, for Belkar there's always the Genocide Song. (Also in English!)
Also for Belkar, Another one Bites the Dust.

How about Pinball Wizard for V, referring to his bumping back and forth over the morality line.

Re: Background music for the OotS
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.
Yes. Especially since it's the tagline on the back of SoD.Last edited by Nimrod's Son; 2009-10-04 at 07:43 PM.
Please write all sarcasm in blue text. All metaphors should be marked in red text and for any split infinitives, please use green. Thank you.

Re: Background music for the OotS
Alternative suggestions:
"Ain't No Mountain High Enough" - for determination
"Tubthumping" - for services to bartenders
"Firestarter" - for specialism, although really the lyrics and attitude would fit Belkar just as well
"Sing" - for incurable optimism and simplemindedness
"You & Your Hand" - for general attitude, and the line "Keep your drink just give me the money"
"War Machine", which I've never heard and really don't want to, but the lyrics are a perfect fit.

Re: Background music for the OotS
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.

Re: Background music for the OotS
No, clearly Durkon needs a song about Vikings. How about... this?

Re: Background music for the OotS
What about Blur's 'Girls and Boys' 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
Many thanks, blue silk handkerchiefs, and small inarticulate hedgehog noises to Funky Goose for the sig banner!
Even more thanks to half-halfling for the adorable avatar, which is from this comic!

Re: Background music for the OotS
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:)

Re: Background music for the OotS
I think Belkar should have "when you're evil."
