Theme music!

Darya Demeter Sat Feb 11, 2012 2:57 pm

Because I like the idea of having theme music, let's work out what people/organisations should have.

I'll start things off with two possiblities for Ida: Guns & Roses (Baccano! opening) or Highway to the Dangerzone.

Any other ideas?

How about Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots for Darya?

Her name is Yoshimi
she's a black belt in karate
working for the city
she has to discipline her body

'Cause she knows that
it's demanding
to defeat those evil machines
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me

Those evil-natured robots
they're programmed to destroy us
she's gotta be strong to fight them
so she's taking lots of vitamins

'Cause she knows that
it'd be tragic
if those evil robots win
I know she can beat them

SosieTerrehaute Sat Feb 11, 2012 3:18 pm

Xu is OBVIOUSLY Behind Blue Eyes.

No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you

SosieTerrehaute Sat Feb 11, 2012 3:20 pm

Matt suggests Firestarter for Pinkie:

I'm the trouble starter, punking' instigator
I'm the fear addicted, and danger illustrated

I'm the bitch you hated, filth infactuated - yeeeaaaah
I'm the pain you tasted, fell intoxicated

I'm the self inflicted, mind detonator - yeah
I'm the one infected, twisted animator

I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter
You're the firestarter, twisted firestarter
I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter

That is awesome and I love it.

For CEO Lee, possibly Swimming Anyone? (Damon Gant's theme.)

SosieTerrehaute Sat Feb 11, 2012 3:24 pm

I see Han's song as Wicked Game, feeling the words as only a teenager in love can feel them:

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you.
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you.

What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you.
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you and,

I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you.

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you.
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you,

No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I... (This world is only gonna break your heart)
(This world is only gonna break your heart)

I suggested Rawhide and matt said YES, but only as it pertains to Lee getting us to do a mission without exploding things.

SosieTerrehaute Sat Feb 11, 2012 3:30 pm

Violet has MANY theme songs, but as an example, Let The Bodies Hit the Floor:

One - Nothing wrong with me
Two - Nothing wrong with me
Three - Nothing wrong with me
Four - Nothing wrong with me
One - Something's got to give
Two - Something's got to give
Three - Something's got to give
Now

Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor

Skin against skin, blood and bone
You're all by yourself but you're not alone
You wanted in now you're here
Driven by hate consumed by fear

Matt suggests Build The Robots for Sosie. You guys will find out today IC some of what this means:

Plastic parts and glue
Doing everything I can do
To build the robots.
They're filling up the room
'Cause all that I ever do is
Build the robots.

I need assembly lines
A crew and much more time.
The money's all mine
And my funds are getting thin.
Probably have to rob a bank again.
'Cause I'm spending every dime and
I'm spending all my time to
Build the robots.

One fine day when I've got my army made
My flying saucers and toys invade
Every city and every town.
And then I'll plaster my face up all over the place.
See, I'm gonna win the human race.
See, I'm gonna make the world a better place for me.

Cause I'm manufacturing a disaster.
I'm taking over the world.

SosieTerrehaute Sat Feb 11, 2012 3:45 pm

Matt says this classic is for General Lee.

But I feel like we can do better.

Darya Demeter Sat Feb 11, 2012 3:49 pm

Trying to think of one for Sosie, but I'm drawing a blank...though the one Matt has suggested is scary.

SosieTerrehaute Sat Feb 11, 2012 3:49 pm

NO NO WAIT I GOT IT, the perfect song for Darya. She Blinded with Science!*

But! - it's poetry in motion
And when she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Mmm - but she blinded me with science
"She blinded me with - with science!"

*Only applies if you have Anascan PSE Upgrade or Higher.

SosieTerrehaute Sat Feb 11, 2012 4:07 pm

I know nothing about Positron, but maybe he agrees this Nano Song:

Nano, what a wonderful surprise.
That ordinary is extraordinary when you make is Nano Sized.

Ida Salcedo Sat Feb 11, 2012 4:12 pm

First thought for Ida off the top of my head isn't exactly serious. Razz

Maybe this? Don't listen to much music these days, so nothing with lyrics comes to mind.

SosieTerrehaute Sat Feb 11, 2012 4:25 pm

This song is appropriate for any old city, the Ai-Jinn, and Comoros. This is a good example of some very nice rap. Lupe Fiasco - Little Weapon

I killed another man today,
Shot him in his back as he ran away,
Then I blew up his hut with a hand grenade,
Cut his wife's throat as she put her hands to pray,
Just five more dawgs then we can get a soccer ball,
That's what my commander say,
How Old?
Well I'm like ten, eleven, been fighting since I was like six or seven,
Now I don't know much about where I'm from but I know I strike fear everywhere I come,
Government want me dead so I wear my gun, I really want the rocket launcher but I'm still too young,
This candy give me courage not to fear no one,
To fear no pain, and hear no tongue,
So I hear no screams and I shed no tear,
If I'm in your dreams then your end is near.

SosieTerrehaute Sat Feb 11, 2012 5:26 pm

And here's one for Krieg(er) (And aspects of Gemini): Dethklok's Symmetry

Symmetry
Carbon Calcium Blood
Find Your Own Disease
Excellent Breeding Left You Without One

Try To Be At Ease
They're Staring Daggers At You
But You'll Get Your Piece
You'll Take The Down One By One

Symmetry
Your Infrastrucure Is Planned
Time To Cut Designs
Every Threads In Place This Time

Now You Understand
The Competition Is stiff
Got The Upper Hand
Ready To Strut Your Stuff

I Would Kill To Have Your FACE
I Would Kill To Have Your BODY
I Would Kill To Have Your SKULL
I Would Kill To Have Your SKIN

Breathless You Pose Burning With Spite
Beauty Is So Crude Contrite
Venom You Bleed Bile Within
Knowing Their Fate Architecht Sin

Twist And Maneuver You've Practiced Your
Part
Starving And Hacking You've Created Art
Painfully Limping Now This Is Your Life
Take Them All Down And Raise Up Your Knife

Breathless You Pose Burning With Spite
Beauty Is so Crude Contrite
Venom You Bleed Bile Within
Knowing Their Fate Architect Sin

Now Walk

HanJi Sat Feb 11, 2012 11:03 pm

Okay, the song choice for Han Ji is pretty much perfect.

Might I suggest Handlebars by Flobots for Sosie?

I can make money open up a thrift store
I can make a living off a magazine
I can design an engine
64 miles to the gallon on gasoline
I can make new antibiotics
I can make computer survive aquatic
Conditions I know how to run the business
And i can make you wanna buy a product
Movers shakers and producers
Me and my friends understand the future
I see the strings that control the systems
I can do anything with no assistance 'Cause

I can lead a nation with a microphone
With a microphone
With a microphone
And I can split the atoms of a molecule
Of a molecule
Of a molecule

Look at me Look at me
Driving and I won't stop
And it feels so good to be alive and on top
My reach is global
My tower secure
My cause is noble
My power is pure
I can handout a million vaccinations
Or let em all die from exasperations
Have 'em all healed from their lacerations
Or have em all killed by assassinations
I can make anybody go to prison
Just because I don't like 'em
I can do anything with no permission
I have it all under my command because

I can guide a missile by satellite
By satellite
By satellite
And I can hit a target through a telescope
Through a telescope
Through a telescope

TheLordHighKAJR Sun Feb 12, 2012 2:09 pm

At character creation, I have these songs in mind for KAJR, this might as well be an EI dress code song though, and this. Though they are rather subject to change after the first session.

From what has been explained to me about Ida, this seems like some inspiration. To put that in some context, the van they are in is full of open containers of gasoline.

Oh my yes, so awesome, sorry it took me so long to reply to this, seems I missed most of page one.
May I also suggest This along very similiar lines ^^ [actually on reflection Pinkie would need a higher arts and culture score for that one]

SosieTerrehaute Thu Feb 16, 2012 12:41 am

This is slightly too romantic for Ida, but might do well for Han.

Come and take a walk on the wild side.
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain.
You like your girls insane.
Choose your last words,
This is the last time,
Cause you and I, we were born to die.

SosieTerrehaute Thu Feb 16, 2012 4:36 pm

Your GM and I stumbled upon Radiohead and how much the OK Computer album is great, and then Matt declared it the official album of huge swaths of this campaign. This is what we've been talking about for the last 45 minutes.

1. "Airbag"

In the next world war
In a jackknifed juggernaut
I am born again

In the neon sign
Scrolling up and down
I am born again

In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe

In a deep deep sleep of the innocent
I am born again

In a fast german car
I'm amazed that I survived
An airbag saved my life

In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe

Matt adds, "If only Mungos were made in Germany!"

2. "Paranoid Android"

Please could you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)

When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking and squealing gucci little piggy
You don't remember
You don't remember
Why don't you remember my name?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name?
I guess he does....

Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height... height...
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height... height...
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me

That's it, sir
You're leaving
The crackle of pigskin
The dust and the screaming
The yuppies networking
The panic, the vomit
The panic, the vomit
God loves his children, God loves his children, yeah!

3. "Subterranean Homesick Alien"

The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air

I live in a town
Where you can't smell a thing,
You watch your feet
For cracks in the pavement.

Up above
Aliens hover
Making home movies
For the folks back home,

Of all these weird creatures
Who lock up their spirits,
Drill holes in themselves
And live for their secrets.

They're all uptight, uptight,
Uptight, uptight,
Uptight, uptight.

I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane,
Late at night when I'm driving.
Take me on board their beautiful ship,
Show me the world as I'd love to see it.

I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me,
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely.
I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life.
They'd shut me away.
But I'd be alright, alright,
I'm be alright,
I'm alright.

I'm just uptight, uptight,
Uptight, uptight,
Uptight, uptight,
Uptight, uptight,
Uptight.

This seems like Darya's sad sad song to me. Matt says it's perfect for Seoul, as the UIG flies overhead in their Alien AI made ships full of Malenbrach, and actually have a nature preserve on Antarctica where they could take people to see the world pure as some would like to see it.

4."Exit Music (For a Film)"

Wake.. from your sleep
The drying of your tears
Today we escape, we escape

Pack.. and get dressed
Before your father hears us
Before all hell breaks loose

Breathe, keep breathing
Don't lose your nerve
Breathe, keep breathing
I can't do this alone

Sing.. us a song
A song to keep us warm
There's such a chill, such a chill

You can laugh
A spineless laugh
We hope your rules and wisdom choke you
Now we are one in everlasting peace

We hope that you choke, that you choke
We hope that you choke, that you choke
We hope that you choke, that you choke

Matt says it's the song that happens after we all die, especially the more moral people, and he seemed moved by this. WELL THEN.

5. "Let Down"

Transport, motorways and tramlines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people clinging on to bottles
And when it comes it's so so disappointing

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Shell smashed, juices flowing
Wings twitch, legs are going
Don't get sentimental
It always ends up drivel

One day I'm going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and ...

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Let down again
Let down again
Let down again

You know, you know where you are with
You know where you are with
Floor collapsing
Floating, bouncing back
And one day....
I am going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and...

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Standard song of the augmented. Some people want to grow wings, too. Or.. extra arms.

6. "Karma Police"

Karma police, arrest this man
He talks in maths
He buzzes like a fridge
He's like a detuned radio

Karma police, arrest this girl
Her Hitler hairdo is
Making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party

This is what you get
This is what you get
This is what you get when you mess with us

Karma police
I've given all I can
It's not enough
I've given all I can
But we're still on the payroll

This is what you get
This is what you get
This is what you get when you mess with love

And for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
Phew, for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself

This is for us Small Stuffers. Matt has declared it so.

7. "Fitter Happier"

more productive
comfortable
not drinking too much
regular exercise at the gym (3 days a week)
getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries
at ease
eating well (no more microwave dinners and saturated fats)
a patient better driver
a safer car (baby smiling in back seat)
sleeping well (no bad dreams)
no paranoia
careful to all animals (never washing spiders down the plughole)
keep in contact with old friends (enjoy a drink now and then)
will frequently check credit at (moral) bank (hole in wall)
favours for favours
fond but not in love
charity standing orders
on sundays ring road supermarket
(no killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants)
car wash (also on sundays)
no longer afraid of the dark
or midday shadows
nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate
nothing so childish
at a better pace
slower and more calculated
no chance of escape
now self-employed
concerned (but powerless)
an empowered and informed member of society (pragmatism not idealism)
will not cry in public
less chance of illness
tires that grip in the wet (shot of baby strapped in back seat)
a good memory
still cries at a good film
still kisses with saliva
no longer empty and frantic
like a cat
tied to a stick
that's driven into
frozen winter shit (the ability to laugh at weakness)
calm
fitter, healthier and more productive
a pig
in a cage
on antibiotics

This whole album is just the cyberpunk lifestyle.

8. "Electioneering"

I will stop
I will stop at nothing
Say the right things
When electioneering
I trust I can rely on your vote

When I go forwards you go backwards and somewhere we will meet

Riot shields
Voodoo economics
It's just business
Cattle prods and the IMF
I trust I can rely on your vote

When I go forwards you go backwards and somewhere we will meet

9. "Climbing Up the Walls"

I am the key to the lock in your house
That keeps your toys in the basement.
And if you get too far inside
You'll only see my reflection.

It's always best when the candle's out,
I am the pick in the ice.
Do not cry out or hit the alarm,
You know we're friends 'til we die.

And either way you turn
I'll be there
Open up your skull
I'll be there
Climbing up the walls

It's always best when the light is off,
It's always better on the outside.
Fifteen blows to the back of your head,
Fifteen blows to your mind.

So lock the kids up safe tonight
And shut the eyes in the cupboard.
I've got the smell of a local man
Who's got the loneliest feeling.

That either way he turns - I'll be there
Open up your skull - I'll be there
Climbing up the walls

Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls

This is Sosie's song so hard you DON'T EVEN KNOW, man.

10. "No Surprises"

A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal

You look so tired and unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent

This is my final fit, my final bellyache with

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please

Such a pretty house, such a pretty garden

No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises please (let me out of here)

Matt says this is a predictive song as we get tired of Oracle. It's so pretty and sad.

11. "Lucky"

I'm on a roll, I'm on a roll
This time, I feel my luck could change
Kill me Sarah, kill me again with love
It's gonna be a glorious day

Pull me out of the aircrash
Pull me out of the lake
I'm your superhero
We are standing on the edge

The Head of State has called for me by name
But I don't have time for him
It's gonna be a glorious day
I feel my luck could change

Pull me out of the aircrash
Pull me out of the wake
I'm your superhero
We are standing on the edge

What happens when we fuck with UIG, especially some of us. This song could apply to Han's future very very well.

12. "The Tourist"

It barks at no one else but me
Like it's seen a ghost
I guess it's seen the sparks a-flowing
No one else would know

Hey man, slow down. Slow down
Idiot, slow down. Slow down

Sometimes I get overcharged
That's when you see sparks
You ask me where the hell I'm going
At a thousand feet per second

Hey man, slow down. Slow down
Idiot, slow down. Slow down

Hey man, slow down. Slow down
Idiot, slow down. Slow down

This just seems like a sad replicant song to me.

Pinkie Thu Feb 16, 2012 9:58 pm

Gods all of them are so sad and some of them are scary, but gods 'No Suprises' is heartbreaking

Darya Demeter Wed Feb 22, 2012 12:44 pm

Possibly for Darya Tinakentaytto (Girl In Tin Shoes)

Lyrics
She is looking restlessly to the east
a frail girl in her shoes of tin.
Is there anyone coming from that direction,
who could carry her home?

She has drawn a message on a map, it says
take me to safety.

Maybe she was created to fly,
so the road would not melt her shoes.

Hey, no no, I will not keep it a secret
these roads will burn you out.
My tin shoes are molten lava.

Come, come before the dawn
otherwise you will not find me here anymore
when the sun rises, I´m forced to move again.

The song itself iis Finnish I think, and is awesome and win and can be found (In One Piece amv form)
here

The Oracle theme tune if you replace the word Apple with Oracle.
