A song on Grimmace's early days of Card Hunter, back when he had worse luck than anyone else when it came to games. His luck has improved since then. Lucker worded to the song F***er by Strapping Young Lad. Lucker being someone who had more luck than he. Spoiler: The song in question. Lucky you! Dang, you luckers! I'm all fired up and ready to go I'll win this game, I really know Don't play it up and don't play it for love Just play for the thrill and for the glow Lucker You lucker Lucker Get out of my face, get off my case You're a lucker You're all luckers And I don't really care I've said it before, now I'll say it again It was all too much for me, you pain So weary from it, luck it, dang... I'll try once more, maybe... Lucker You lucker Lucker Get out of my face, get off my case You're a lucker You lucker And I don't really care Watch behind my eyes Watch behind your face Just understand it and see the little lucker Like I have any luck! Lucker You lucker Lucker Get out of my face, get off my case You're a lucker You lucker And I don't really care
Dreadlock Holiday by 10cc I was winding down the game, concentrating on playing tight, I got my wiz on the victory square, and made sure he had line of sight, I saw 3 faces, I had, a couple arcane aura, they were all within a few squares, just standing in the corner, I Said! I don't like arcane burst, no no, I love it, I don't like arcane burst, no no, I love it, When you walk through my way, I will blast you away, when you walk through my way, you will wish that you changed your play
Shut Down, to the tune of, uh, Shut Down, by the Beach Boys Spoiler: The song, for those of you who aren't older than dirt. Buff it up, buff it up, buddy gonna shut you down It happened on the Net, where the band is broad (Buff it up now) Two cool builds in the Gladius Quad (Buff it up now) Yeah, my aggro elven fighters and a burfft-y team (Buff it up now) Munchin' on cheezburgers like a lolcat meme (Buff it up now) Buff it up, buff it up, buddy gonna shut you down Priest hits one d-wiz with a savage curse (Buff it up now) If we don't close fast we'll all be ridin' a hearse (Movin' out now) The d-wiz throws fire, his deck is starting to thin (Burnin' up now) But my aggro elves are really closin' in (Movin' out now) Gotta be cool now, nimble strike here we go The dorfs walk away, but they're movin' slow And the wizard blood is really startin' to flow To get into action I use dancing cuts My warriors are burning -- is this team too much? [Double-edged sword solo] Wizards are both cornered, see the embers burst (Blow it up now) But the friendly fire leaves their priest for the worse (Pack it up now) Sure, d-wiz hide's resistant, but it's understood (Stay immune now) My stabs are all impaling and the range is good (Say "gg" now) Rank is up, rank is up, buddy now I shut you down [repeat and fade] ---- Note: I realize I'm breaking one of the cardinal rules of song parodies by working off of a song that's before most of y'all's time. Heck, it's before my time too. But I've wanted to parody this particular song ever since I realized that in addition to light-hearted songs about surfing and girls, the Beach Boys put out some deeply geeky gearhead anthems. It struck me that the kind of person who'd wax lyrical about the advantages of fuel injection over ram induction, or write a line like "my four speed, dual quad, Positraction 409" would, had he been born a couple of decades later, probably have written odes to overclocking. I tried to do it myself, but I just don't know enough about overclocking to do it justice. But I do know at least a little about Card Hunter, so I jumped at the chance. And, hey, maybe one or two of you are old, or at least retro, enough to know the tune.
I figure anything that exists as recorded music is fair game. It's not like we're trying to get 'em on the radio. Plus, any music that's new to you is new music.
Unless, say, you're willing to record yourself while singing your own rimes. Then, we would be obliged to put up an Official CH radio and broadcast your masterworks 24/7
So far we have about one hour worth of music. We still need 23 more hours. I'll delve into my cache to find some relevant lyrics.
A Change of Leagues worded to A Change of Seasons by Dream Theater. Spoiler: The song in question. I remember a time Before my deck's prime Waited for the Golden Shrine Imagined what it might find Life was filled with wonder I felt the warm feelings grow I must explore the boundaries Now its time for skills to show Innocence caressing me I never felt so nervous before There was so much hope in me Still I longed to search for more But those days are gone now Changed like a trait on an item Cycled away forever Into the discard with them The cards have now fallen And my sun's not so bright I struggle to hold on With the last of my might In my den of inequity Viciousness and subtlety Struggle to ease the pain Struggle to find the same Ignorance surrounding me I've never been so filled with fear All my stars' been drained from me The end is drawing near... "Carpe diem Seize the day" I'll always remember The last burst of ember The news of the fall The sounds in the hall The clock on the wall Ticking away "Seize the Day" I heard him say Life will not always be this way Look around Hear the sounds Cherish your game While you're still around (Gather ye cards while ye may) (Old Time is still a-flying) (And this same item that smiles today) (Tomorrow will be dying) We can learn From the past But those days Are gone We can hope For the future But there might not be one The words stuck in my mind Alive from what I've learned I have to seize the day To the queue I returned Preparing for the fight I held with all my might Fearing my deepest fright They walked to the right They turned for one last look She looked me in the eye I said, "I 've got you... Good-bye" So far or so it seems All is lost With nothing fulfilled Off the cards and the PC screen Another world Where nothing's true Tripping through The life fantastic Lose a step And never get up Left alone With a cold blank stare I feel like giving up I was blinded by a paradise Utopia high in the sky A dream that only drowned me Deep in sorrow, wondering why Oh come let us adore it! Abuse and then ignore it! No matter what Don't let him win Let's feed upon his misery Then tie his hopes with a grin I'm sick of all Your advice Holding me at bay And I don't need Your sympathy To get me through the day Luck can change and so can I Hold on man The round just began Untie these roots I'm climbing down I won't let them push me away Oh come on man, really? You thought you could win, really? No matter what Don't let him be Let's feed upon His misery Now it's time for them To deal with me I'm much wiser now A lifetime of memories Run through my head They taught me how For better or worse Alive or dead I realize There's no turning back Life goes on The offbeaten track I finally went and won Set to see the Golden Shrine (Gather ye cards while ye may) Many rounds have come and gone I've played my best, but now must move on (Gather ye cards while ye may) He's my only one Now that my time has come Now that my game is done We look into the sun "Seize the day And don't you cry Now it's time To say good-bye Even though I'll be gone I will game on Game on"
Whoa, that's a long one, good stuff, ive been somewhat lazy in that I rarely cover the whole song, just the first one or two verses and the chorus, I will try and do more Rolling Stones songs, simply because they are the greatest band of all time, (only The Beatles could come close, but Mick and the boys have been doing it continuously for over 50 years now) This one is called Sympathy For The Devil Please allow me to introduce myself, Im a man with much disgrace, Ive been around for just over a year, back when we still had wavering faith, I was round when whirlwind ruled, and everyone used vibrant pain, killed Gary and Melvin too, wouldn’t stop till they all were slain Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name, but whats puzzling you, is the way I play the game, Stuck around the lobby chat, when I saw it was the time for a change, put 3 priests in the multiplayer keep, only concern was the lack of range, Was playing crap, on a hopeless map, where the wizards ruled, and the melee stank, Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name, but whats puzzling you, is the way I play the game, (fast forward a bit) Just as many priests have their Bleneths skulls and warriors their Grounding plates, For heavens sake just call me, Grimm reaper cause im in need of some restraint, so if you meet me have some courtesy, have some sympathy, and some cake,
Hey @LeisureSuitLoli, thanks for making me listen to that song, best way to start a day (Dream Theater is my fav band <3 ).
You're welcome. RNG worded to I by Meshuggah. Spoiler: The song in question. RNG - this fractal illusion burning away all structure toward the obscene RNG - to cleanse, to purge, to breach eternity and smother all life Blind - these mortal men of clay, divine and dying in their harassed form RNG -this furnace of limitless hate. Bestial, pure The pendulum swings semi-attached to the center of all I play these cards into ruin and contempt-the smoke bomb to burning cards This is an anomaly. Disabled. What is true? Not destined for celebration, I crave my nothingness The RNG that they whisper of, is that what makes me fail? I see through the eyes of the of the blind Not clear what it is to be this self I dread, the immense, the rabid I am The dice drop, rolling away at ceaselessness-willing it to dust Armor disintegration. Convulse. A weak character-Impales its life Fear aligns. Sadistic me. Meant to win. Despair Sickened by the fact that Nimbus is not mine to have. A shuffle along a Path of Knives-dividing itself through motion I charge this feeble product of god Laughing, drenched in the bile of millions Chewing on the stinking flesh of the crown of creation Solitude in splendor has been rivalled Shroud stained with tarblack traits Veiling the opponent with the frenzies The strain of play evolves Shifting through hands from chaos, to chaos, to chaos I devour this RNG & existence-irritating, barren, whole Close to gold. Virulent deterioration of skill Sacrilege in persona. In truth, fundamentally twisted A witness to this savage carnage. A frenzy of animosity The will to calculate. Dominant deviation The worship of the sick and degenerate will spread RNG - The nihilist, not the lunatic Ridding my godlike deck of doubt Obliterating all hope of escape RNG - Enter the echoes of despair Miracles inverted by default, a reflex to devastate Soaking in the will to violate, to castrate Soiling the purpose of mankind. Deus ex machina on hold The divine, the splendid, the beginning of the end Conception derived from misconceptions The dimensionless features of truth Silence in the core of undoing Untie its knots and set it loose The inertia of my existence is clear Premutation of slaughtered worlds RNG alone will behold the dying sky A servant of eternity Progress finally, emergence of doom complete Here only to reverse the flow of luck RNG
This one is by lynyrd skynyrd, Free Bird, great song, also the climax at the end of Rob Zombie film The Devils Rejects, sequel to the more superior imo, House of 1000 corpses If i play 3 dwarf wizards, will you still be friends with me, for i must play some control now, cause there's too many items id like to see, if i stay with 3 elf priests, i might not win another game, ranged attacks is what i crave man, and then ill get that vibrant pain, whoa whoao whoa whoa whoa, then ill get that vibrant pain, x 2 Bye Bye dwarves with volcano, (yeah yeah,) you know its a deck that needs a change, lost too much standing with the rage quits, and lord knows im to blame, repeat verse 2 and chorus 30 min guitar solos!!!
For those who have never see The Sound of Music, I'm with you. I couldn't bear to sit through it, even as a kid. Much of its music, however, was unavoidable. I tried to stay strictly on topic with this one. Spoiler: My Favorite Things Title: My Favorite Things Firestorm nerfed and is no longer global. Same with the whirlwinds, foes only and total. Old SPR has lost most of its zing. Why are they nerfing my favorite things? Nimble strike flies, but is shorter and weaker. Step attack warriors are slower and meeker. Infused Greatclub has lost much of its sting. Why are they nerfing my favorite things? Dodges still cling, but they rarely will trigger. Team Run to Walk lost a lot of its vigor. Stone walls are nerfed into jumpable streams. Why are they nerfing my favorite things? Plodding slogs through slow adventures earn my farmer's wage. I think of them nerfing my favorite things, and then I can feel Blind Rage.
If there was a soundtrack to my life so far, Of Montreal "The Party's Crashing Us" would be on it. I turned a bit of it to... "There is no controlling me now" You're spreading mysery i know you're pretty damn aware We ranted in your ear when you turned matches to despair (matches to despair, matches to despair) how could you go 3D Your way of combat is a fraud (Oh-oh-oh-oh) You say it's good to play You see Manchurian cues that back it's hot (that back it's hot) Manchurian cues that back it's hot (that back it's hot, that back it's hot) Still, I only feel delight when your dwarves are dealt with One task, going on in my head I want to catch you and just crush you Maybe I should buff up No sense in rushing in now See, I only feel ahead when my feet are sticky Attacks piling up in my hand You want to slide me, planned to push me, One more tile and you're down there's no controlling me now there's no controlling me now This is pretty damn challenging, left a few lines are a bit clunky. I mean what to do when the original line is: I see Neptunian blues that eyes forgot (Eyes forgot) btw how do i use that "spoiler" function?
Two songs. First up is an instrumental called Frost by Enslaved. Think of the module Beneath the Frozen Earth while listening to it. Spoiler: The song in question. Conquer All (no alternative title for this one) by Behemoth. Spoiler: The song in question. Mightiest Self! cast out ov Thy Elysium with blood ov dwarves I write the story ov man 2000 ELO is nothing thought it has been enough come forth victorious muting the foul dwarf laments! none ov thy empty cards, shall ever stand above me none ov thy weak characters, shalt ever share my blood my skills, catalyst, ov dwarfhate I have spawned in sinister ecstasy eternally I recompose race ov man! the errors ov a wise make Thy rules ye shall see rather than the perfection ov the fool the most aware! I am many! among so very few beyond redemption, beyond the weak thus I beheld the truth! none ov thy empty cards, shall ever stand above me none ov thy weak characters, shalt ever share my blood my skills, catalyst, ov dwarfhate I have spawned in sinister ecstasy eternally I recompose <Guitar Solo> I am the pure flame that burns I am (ever shining) Sirius son I am the infinite space I am the most conquering One
Only Loli could pull off an instrumental in the song contest, bravo! This one is by an Australian band, Mental as Anything (thats actually the name) Ill attach the video cause it may not be that well known, was popular in the 80s and featured in the first Crocodile Dundee movie, Oh can't you see looking through that smoke, its too bad you don't have cleansing burst, you wanted to put down illusion wall, such a shame that i got there first, A close encounter with a large raging dwarf, who had a hand full of nimble strikes, lucky for me he had a low HP, and id laid down all my stone spikes, Hey there you with the red flame, youll get me next game, (or after that) you with the strongarm, how long did you farm, (The Lizard Priest) (fast forward) Just play it safe, or you could die, you need some blocks, and some heals, and some armor, go tryyyyyy, white dragon,
I finished my 7-Day farming binge, so I'll try to knock a few parodies out. Spoiler: Fleetwood Mac – The Chain Title: The Choice Click upon loot screen, see your heart's desire. Sitting on the pillow, past the glass, feel the ire. It says, "If you don't grab me now, You will never see me again!" But I can still hear you saying You will never pay to play. (Never pay to play) "And if you don't grab me now, You will never see me again!" I can still hear you saying You will never pay to play. (Never pay to play) There's another "Must Have" in the Daily Deal tonight. Haven't got the gold, though. You'll never farm it in time. Break the silence, damn the lack, damn the might. "And if you don't grab me now, You will never see me again!" I can still hear you saying You will never pay to play. (Never pay to play) [Repeat x2] [Angst Solo] Pay! You've got to do it! (Never pay to play, no!) [Repeat x4]
Apology: @Grimmace Sorry if I stepped on your toes by doing a Stones tune. Not sorry enough to prevent it, obviously, but still ... Note: Any similarity between published lyrics and what Mick actually sings is largely coincidental. Rumor: Mick now stuffs his pants with Depends®. Spoiler: The Rolling Stones - Tumbling Dice Title: Stumbling Dice Players love to hate me, and they constantly berate me. They try to make me turn things around. But Baby, I'm the RNG. I don't need your jewels in my crown. Cause all you players is low down gamblers, You'd cheat, but you just don't know how. Baby, it's my say. There's slaughter in the pain house now. This low down *****in' got my PNs a itchin', Don't you know this random is wild? Baby, if you play, you got to roll me, And call me the stumblin' dice. You mount the gold square with a brace of parries, Thinkin' it's your turn to shine. No basis, I've stacked aces, And you won't see a deuce for a while. If I like you, I'll be on your side, If not, you're gonna think it's a crime. But baby, if you play, You got to roll me and call me the stumblin', Roll me and call me the stumblin' dice. [Solo] 'Cause in this game I'm the lone crap shooter, Crap's an appropriate noun. But baby, if you play, You got to roll me and call me the stumblin' dice, (Call me the stumblin') Got to roll me (yayes), Got to roll me, Got to roll me (Oh yeah) Got to roll me. [Repeat ad nauseam with scattered ad libs]
This one stuck in my head and wouldn't leave until I wrote it down. Ending lines with a hard "K" instead of a mutable vowel sound leaves a lot to be desired, but the subject kind of required it. Spoiler: Beck - Where It's At Title: What's your stats? There's a destination a little up the block From the multiplayer keep, just before the clock. A place I caught a buffed-up shock, A painful bash, and my world was rocked. Pulling out alive and staggering backwards With two hit points and a Jarring Block. I'd kill myself if I clapped my hands. I won't clap my hands. (What's your stats?) I got two hit points and a Jarring Block. (What's your stats?) I got two hit points and a Jarring Block. (What's your stats?) I got two hit points and a Jarring Block. [Robot vocal effect:] I got two hit points and a Jarring Block. [Filler] Slide myself off to the side of the fight, Watching wizards line of sight, Hoping they've drawn Fright. Wish I had a sympathizer Flagging me down an ambulance driver. Make a deal for a really good heal. Pay cash for a teleport dash. Wishing I had a Bloodshield of Xoc, Not two hit points and a Jarring Block. (What's your stats?) I got two hit points and a Jarring Block. (What's your stats?) I got two hit points and a Jarring Block. [More Filler] There's a destination a little up the block From the multiplayer keep, just before the clock. A place I caught a buffed-up shock, A painful bash, and my world was rocked. Pulling out alive and staggering backwards With two hit points and a Jarring Block. I'd kill myself if I clapped my hands. I won't clap my hands. (What's your stats?) I got two hit points and a Jarring Block. (What's your stats?) I got two hit points and a Jarring Block. [Outro]
