Dominions Songs

[Gandalf Parker]

I didnt say it was a gripe.
Most of my mods and maps dont really fit the lists.

For my mods it tends to be more of a relief. The best ones get written by someone else before I get to them. And the worthy ones I have done get quickly rewritten almost as soon as they are known. Which is fine with me.

My only response was to the apparent statement that I hadnt done any. I would much rather encourage one than administrate one. As long as I keep the conversations flying Ive done my job.

Come on people. I want to space mine out. Is anyone else working on a Dominions song?

Of course, some songs dont need converting. www.CthulhuLives.org has 2 CDs of songs that work great for Rlyeh. A number of Rob Zombie songs will work for Ermor. Im sure there is some Goth music that simply screams to be Mictlan.

I've been known to make a song parody or two in the past, but I haven't really had the inspiration strike me to make one for dominions. Maybe someday I'll think of something clever, but I don't expect that day to come soon :P

How about this one?
"A Few of my Favorite Things" from "Sound of Music"

xxxx and xxxxx and xxxxx xxx xxx
xxxx and xxxxx and xxxxx xx xxxx
xxxxxx xx x xxx xxxxx xxxx
these are a few of my favorite things

xxxx and xxxxx and xxxxx xxx xxx
xxxx and xxxxx and xxxxx xx xxxx
xxxxxx xx x xxx xxxxx xxxx
these are a few of my favorite things

when the xxxxx xxxx
when the xxxxx xxxxxx
when Im xxx xxxxxx xxxx
I think of a few of my favorite things
and then I dont xxxxx xxxx xxxxxx

If I did it then I would just ruin it since "my favorite things" in the game are nothing at all like most peoples. Id love to see this one done by someone else.

Also, I have troubles in that my favorite version of this stuck in my head is a dirty version done by 14th Disciple.

I think the song "The World is a Vampire" by Smashing Pumkins could turn into a good Dominions song....just need to find the words.

The Original lyrics;

the world is a vampire, sent to drain
secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
and what do i get, for my pain
betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
even though i know-i suppose i'll show
all my cool and cold-like old job

despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage

now i'm naked, nothing but an animal
but can you fake it, for just one more show
and what do you want, i want to change
and what have you got
when you feel the same
even though i know-i suppose i'll show
all my cool and cold-like old job

despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage

etc.


EDIT:

Queen - I want to Break Free

Could turn into

I want to play dom3

[Gandalf Parker]

the world is a vampire, sent to drain
The world is for Mictlan, sent to drain?

[Gandalf Parker]

OK time for another I guess. I will put in a little crappy one so others can feel motivated to do a better one. Please?

sung to the tune of "Great Pretender"

Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Pretending that I'm doing well (ooh ooh)
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm losing but no one can tell

Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
A god in a world of my own (ooh ooh)
I play the game but to my real shame
I have no Hall of Honors post

[Thilock_Dominus]

Queen - I want to break free.


I want to play dom3
I want to play dom3
I want to play dom3 all day long
I am so self satisfied I don't need you
I want to play dom3
God Knows god knows I want to play dom3

I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love with dominions 3
And this time I know its for real
I've fallen in love yeah
God Knows god knows I want to play dom3

[Gandalf Parker]

EXCELLENT! Now we are on a roll. Come on people, cough up!
I guess now I get to post another....

sung to the tune of "When Im Sixty-Four" by the Beatles

When I start losing all of my lands,
Many turns from now,
Will you still be sending gems and armament
For the many gold that I sent?

If Im knocked back to my capital site
Will you help me more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When your Pantokrator?

[From the another thread]

I am the very model of a cheap generic thuggable,
I've good Protection, high defense, and gemcost nearly neglible;
My built-in gear's a plate hauberk and Bane Blade, which is adequate
For PD which will route if you can only make them hurt a bit.
I'm zero enc (like most undead) and rarely take a critical hit
I benefit tremendously from a simple lucky amulet,
I have the slots to use whatever gear that you can forge for me,
From Winged Boots to Aegis or a Vine Shield to a Brand or three.

I've resistances respectable, most Hydras find me affable,
A Niefel Giant's cold aura to me is merely laughable.
In short in matters economic, tactical, and Bog-beast huggable[1]
I am the very model of a cheap generic thuggable!

[1] Can't leave out the Bog Beast love. Besides, none of the other rhymes I thought of made any sense either. And the scansion is terrible. If you want GOOD poetry go read Poe or Kipling: http://www.wargames.co.uk/Poems/Grave.htm
