My bard and I decided we needed some travelling music. :D With apologies to Johnny Cash and whoever else has ripped it off over the years. The last location is DM-made. Sorting Realms cities into rhyming order is hard work.


"I've Been Everywhere", Realms version
Hacked together by BadCatMan

I was totin’ my pack along the dusty Long Road,
When along came a wagon with a high canvas covered load
“If your goin' to Longsaddle, adventurer, with me you can ride.”
And so I climbed into the cart and then I settled down inside.
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and elms,
And I said, “Listen! I've traveled every road in these here Realms!”

I've been everywhere, man.
I've been everywhere, man.
Crossed the Anauroch deserts bare, man.
I've stripped Undermountain bare, man.
Of travel I've had my share, man.
I've been everywhere.

Now that is putting a good spin on a classic.

...Oddly enough, I can actually picture Mintiper Moonsilver singing this in some of those places he performs in. Well done. :P

Truly marvelous.
My friends and I are known to twist songs to our bidding during games like this, but usually just a verse or two, at most.

One thing I picked up, though....a missing word in the following verse.

I've been everywhere, man.
I've been everywhere, man.
Roamed the, man.
I’ve marched across the Shaar, man.
Of tales I've had my share, man.
I've been everywhere


Not a huge problem, of course. Just nitpicking.
Cheers.

Thank you very much everyone.

I had the benefit of playing online, so plenty of time to put it together.

It was going to Great Glacier, but that didn't sound right, and I dropped it, but forgot to replace it.

Roamed the High Forest, man.

this is incredible! You should get someone to record it, and then sell it on that on the Apple website. I would pay a dollar for that. :)

Johnny obviously had a wide taste(recording "Hurt" by NIN, if you haven't seen the video you really should). This ditty is classic. It's head and shoulders above the TV spots with his music. I keep waiting for a Preperation H to buy "Ring of Fire".I have no doubt he would have loved what you have done.This Nashville resident sure does. :clap: :bow: :clap: :bow:
