Here is the first song from my D&D musical, The Grim Kobold. (to the tune of Smells Like Teen Spirit) Load up on gear, and bring your guild It's fun to kill, but not to get killed I'm overboard and self-assured But best of all I have a longsword Hello, hello, hello, attack roll Hello, hello, hello, attack roll Hello, hello, hello, attack roll Hello, hello, hello... With the light out, you need darkvision To stab people with precision To make a precise incision To stab people, you need darkvision A hobgoblin, a brass dragon A dwarf cleric, a bad kraken And now I am a fireball And now I am a maximised forcewall And now I am an archon pharoh Oh no, I'm mad, I must be a derro Hello, hello, hello, attack roll Hello, hello, hello, attack roll Hello, hello, hello, attack roll Hello, hello, hello... With the light out, you need darkvision To stab people with precision To make a precise incision To stab people, you need darkvision A hobgoblin, a brass dragon A dwarf cleric, a bad kraken Post any other songs you have written, or give me suggestions.

Pippa 03-16-07, 03:00 PM	I once needed an all-round, pirate-ish song, and finally came up with this: -”Away in the mountains, a troll lost his club; probably mislaid it while spring-cleaning up. Well fry me an onion and bake me an egg; probably mislaid it but ey what the heck! A king had a daughter that no one would wed; but then came a dragon that wanted a pet. Well fry me an onion and bake me an egg; and then came a dragon but ey what the heck!” It was quite easy to add strophes when something interesting happened later on: "There once was this gnome-girl An orc she had slain; Pippa the Pink-eyed and Elf-enemy's Bane! Well fry me an onion and bake me an egg; Pippa the Pink-eyed but ey what the heck!”

Grandpa Gamer 03-18-07, 12:08 PM	A D&D cover of "1985" by Bowling for Soup: Robert hit the wall He couldn't afford it all Slaving away every day Can't even afford eBay His budget hit the floor Wife got pregnant in '84 Gaming with his buddy Dan What happened to his plan? He was going to own them all He was going to have a ball He was going to game all night Rolling dice 'till Dawn's Early Light But now he's dependable It sucks being responsible Looks at his grown-up life And nothing . . . has been . . . alright since Bigby, and Tenser Way before Elminster There was Lord Soth, and Dragotha And even Mordenkainen His kid's now in college She tells him that he's uncool But he's still preoccupied With 19 . . . 19 . . . 1985 He's played all the classics He's read every diagram Temple of Elemental Evil Keep on the Borderlands He geeked out on Dragonlance Not a big Eberron fan He thought he'd be the man To play with Gygax and Arneson Why is there no new Greyhawk modules? And who's these people going on about d20? What ever happened to Battle . . . System . . . On the kitchen table? There was Bigby, and Tenser Way before Elminster There was Lord Soth, and Dragotha And even Mordenkainen His kid's now in college She tells him that he's uncool But he's still preoccupied With 19 . . . 19 . . . 1985 He hates time, make it stop When did AD&D become two versions back? When in Hell did Drow become the good guys? Please make it stop - stop - STOP! And bring back Bigby, and Tenser Way before Elminster There was Lord Soth, and Dragotha Long before Drizzt Do'Urden His kid's now in college She tells him that he's uncool But he can't afford to keep on buying More and more 3.5!

longlivetheloud 03-18-07, 01:06 PM	you people listen to this? i think the band Ensiferum have a d&d sound. just felt like saying.
Raust92 03-18-07, 07:43 PM	I got one it's short though, and not really that good. "Caressing elf maidens" "While trying to save Aden" "You see yourself Fading" (Repeat X2) "As you fall into the Abyss!" "Did you enjoy the Kiss?" "Was it really worth the Risk!" "Now your in the Abyss"............
Singer_of_the_Song 03-18-07, 07:47 PM	you people listen to this? i think the band Ensiferum have a d&d sound. just felt like saying. "Into battle we ride, with gods on our side, We're strong, and not afraid to die!"
Xanaphia_Undomiel 03-19-07, 02:20 AM	Ok, another song: To the tune of “Wake me up when September ends” The kobold days have gone and passed The low levels will never last Wake me up, when this campaign ends Like an age category will come to pass Seven adventures went so fast Wake me up, when this campaign ends Here comes the rain again My heart is filled with hope Maybe D&D will be cancelled My DM lives on a slope Like an age category will come to pass Twenty adventures went so fast Wake me up, when this campaign ends Here comes the 10 level mark How long will this go on I’m getting tired of this I suppose I could get out with a con The kobold days have gone and passed The low levels will never last Wake me up, when this campaign ends Wake me up, when this campaign ends.
smeagol_lied 03-19-07, 02:59 PM	That's a very negative attitude to take Xanaphia... :P But i know it's all a joke (it had better all be a joke...)
M1kh43l_P4r4d1s0 03-19-07, 05:31 PM	I'm currently working on an american pie version
swallowyersoul 03-19-07, 10:18 PM	manowar. blind guardian. hammerfall. all good metal bands with a d&d feel to the lyrics.
Raust92 03-19-07, 10:44 PM	You should start a dnd song to one of the introductions to one of the doors songs:D
Bruunwald 03-21-07, 05:13 PM	"I Buff Myself" or "Another Reason I Like Clerics" (Sung to the tune - rearranged into a verse-bridge-chorus format - of "I Touch Myself") Adventurers will always come runnin' At the sight of gold But I'm the one with wisdom and cunning No fear of heat or cold I pick up my shield - it's got my god on it I put on my helm - there ain't a speck of dirt on it I pray for strength - as much as a bull's got I'm as tough as a bear but with less drool and snot Wizards can blink The rogue can keep his stealth When I think of danger I buff myself Ohhh -- I don't care, the rogue can keep his stealth Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh... While my friends are quietly creeping I'm stomping up behind If they get hurt, they know they'll get my healing Even if the fault is mine I wear full plate - I'm as equipped as a fighter I **** off the elf - I'm too loud for the blighter I sound like a mess - yes, the quiet's impeded I've got no ranks in MS - but then, I don't need it... Wizards can blink The rogue can keep his stealth When I think of danger I buff myself Ohhh -- I don't care, the rogue can keep his stealth Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh... [spoken] I don't need to be quiet I don't worry about stealth For God's sake, I'm a cleric I'll just buff myself Ooooohhhh... [polishes helm] Oh! [cleans off shield] Ooooohhhh... [inspects holy symbol] Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh -- Wizards can blink The rogue can keep his stealth When I think of danger I buff myself Ohhh -- I don't care, the rogue can keep his stealth Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh...
Raust92 03-21-07, 10:47 PM	Lol nice soong! The lyrics touch the soul!

Pippa 03-22-07, 08:54 AM	blind guardian. Rawwwrrrr! The most beautiful line I know comes from one of their songs: "Proudly it stands Until the worlds end The victorious banner of Love" (The Maiden and the Minstrel Knight)
