Faction theme songs! (silly)

[Dr Jekyll]

Ridiculous idea: I was thinking about what songs would apply to different factions as their themes. I came up with the following (no order whatsoever):

Deirdre: Stratovarius - Mother Gaia

Yang: Pink Floyd - The Fletcher Memorial Home
Five Iron Frenzy: My Evil Plan To Save The World

Lal: John Lennon - Give Peace a Chance

Miriam: Iron Maiden - Holy Smoke

Santiago: Iron Maiden - The Trooper
Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms

Morgan: Pink Floyd - Money (honestly, what else could be more fitting?!)

Zak: System of a Down - Science

Svensgaard: Black Sabbath - Children of the Sea

Domai: The Anthem of the Soviet Union

Can't think of anything else for now. Add your suggestions, people!

[Ivellios]

Svensgaard could also have Metallica - Whiskey In The Jar (just because it's way better than Thin Lizzy's ). Clearly a song about pirates and everyone recognizes in the intro tune. And what about Miriam and Metallica - Holier Than Thou?

Yes, I like Metallica

[Andemagne]

Spartan Federation: Imperial March for starwars.

[Clear Skies]

For the Cybernetic Consciousness: Hard Wired by Tracy Chapman
Also by Chapman - Talkin Bout a Revolution for the Drones
Peace on Earth by U2 for the Peacekeepers
And Meja's All About The Money for Morgan

[Patriqvium]

King Crimson's Easy Money for Morgan.

[Arnelos]

Miriam - "March on Christian Soldiers", the Hymn

Lal's not really a commie... so "Give Peace a Chance" doesn't really work... can't think of something to replace it off the top of my head though... we'll think of something.

Svensgaard could use the Navy Hymn, "Eternal Father", with all of those references to the wave and the sea and storms, etc.

I agree with Domai and the Soviet Anthem

Gotta think of others...

[Dr Jekyll]

Eh? How is "Give Peace a Chance" a commie song?

[Xian]

Human Hive - NIN The way Out is Through (underneath it all/ but still we crawl etc.)
Gains - Anything hippie
Zak - Electronic, no lyrics
Sparta - Old Nazi National Anthem
Lal - Whatever the people elect!
Morgan - Jay-Z or Britney Spears or whatevers the #1 pop song in his area
Miriam - American Patrotic Songs
Data Angels - Remixes of whatever Morgan's Got insulting him (they obvioulsy wouldnt have one definite universal national anthem)
Cybernetic Consciousness - NIN The Becoming or possibly the New Flesh


Domai - The Coup Layzymutha****a

Now when I go to bed it's almost time to wake up
Tryin' not to go to jail, tryin' not to cake up
And even when I serve soda it would be cold as ****
Chillin' in my sock, servin' ice for ten bucks
And you'd be in the house, all warm and ****
And ya ass got the sweater with the fire lit
And whatever ya want you ain't gotta lift a finger
If ya wanna a glass of water hit the maid on the ringer
Got a job for you under this hot ass sun
Tellin' me to hurry up and get some more **** done
I be so tired when I spit all my word slur together
Got so many calluses my hands are like leather
Watchin' MTV in yo big ass chair
Tryin' out slang words while you combin' ya hair
Ya productivity is wack bring that box here fo-sheezy
Go get some coffee punch out before ya leave
Got cho' feet up on the desk noddin' off to sleep
While I lift, push, pull, dig, sweat, and sweep
I could work hard all my life and in the end still suffer
Cause the world is controlled by you lazy mother****ers

[Chorus]
Lazy mother****er, lazy mother-****er
You's a lazy mother****er, lazy mother-****er

[Boots]
Now you don’t wash ya ass, you got a personal bather
If you roll out of bed it's like you doin' a favor
You was born into paper and that behavior
For a midnight snack, you have the bedroom catered
You ain't never learned to drive or tie ya shoe
I got my ear to the street and my eye on you
You got a secretary to write down your thoughts
On how to make us work hard and fatten up your vaults
TV say if ya poor, you must be slow and shiftless
But you pay em' to say that so we don't want it different
Got a cook and a girl to bring the tray for you
You're hearin' this cause somebody pushed play for you
My head is poundin' now and my hands are shakin'
To keep my eyelids open takes concentration
I don’t get no rest it's just a stay alive hustle
Making you stay rich without you moving a muscle
You think of people as your tool
So when your **** salute
You have a butler get the phone and call a prostitute
And say your sex drive’s stronger than the engine of a trucker
But she’ll have to be on top cause you a lazy mother****er

[Chorus]

[Boots]
A hundred person house there just to sanitize
You know you don't give a **** but they all despise you
Millions over millions makin' **** for you to sell
But police on alert just in case we rebel
But it's gon' happen captain, hope ya know that's why I'm rappin'
Want the toasters start tappin' hands and gases start clappin'
Cause this whole system's waitin' for you to kick it in Paris
Or roll through Hong Kong in a rich all carriage
So when you spend a dollat that's ten seconds of my time
And when ya spend a billion that's my life and that's a crime
Cause to me life is hard like a track that I'm reppin' on
Callin' for the freedom of the backs that you steppin' on
Later for the pull up ya boot strap fastened
Hard work got me to the chiropractor
But we can work hard to take back the bread and butter
Cause all these multi-millionaires is lazy mother****ers

Human Hive-Imperial March (ooh baby!)

Peacekeepers-Why Can't We Be Friends? (WAR)

Gaian's-Love Shack (B-52's)

Believer-Oh Holy Night (Traditional)

(SMAX)

[Mr. President]

Wow! For a minute I thought I was back in the year 2001.

Damn if I can think of one for all of them, but I will suggest 2Pac's Me Against the World for the Spartans.

[The Mad Monk]

No, that would be Yang

Spartans? Erm...Country Boys Can Survive, by Hank Williams, Jr.

[Kirov]

Miriam - Bigger than Jesus (Chumbawamba)

Lal - Democracy is coming to the USA (Leonard Cohen)

Drones - Let's lynch the landlord (Dead Kennedys)
Guerilla Radio (RATM)

Pirates - Yellow submarine (The Beatles)

Morgan - The man who sold the world (Dawid Bowie)

Santiago - First we take Manhattan (Cohen)

[Arnelos]

You guys...... Miriam should DEFINATELY get "March on Christian Soldiers". It's perfect for her entire paradigm of fanaticism!

For those obviously not in the know, this is a traditional hymn (which would be an obvious choice for Miriam... none of this devil-inspired "rock-and-roll" stuff ) which is so self-righteous that it has the Believer faction written all over it

Being more of the Morganite/Peacekeeper type myself, I just can't decide on what's best for my favorite two factions. Some people's knowledge of music doesn't seem to bridge beyond hard rock, oldies, and some metal, though

[Alinestra Covelia]

Don't you mean "Onwards Christian Soldiers"?

Onwards Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the Cross of Jesus going on before...

I don't remember any more of the hymn than that. Five years of life at a Protestant school has nearly faded entirely from mind...

[gnome]

Dierdre - Enya, "How Can I Keep From Singing"
Zakharov - Agree with Frankychan, thomas dolby all the way!
Lal - Emerson, Lake, & Palmer - "Fanfare for the common man" remix
Yang - Oingo Boingo "Perfect World"
Santiago - Snap - "I've Got The Power"

Domai - Devo - "Working in a coal mine" remix
Aki-Zeta 5 - Fluke - "Atom Bomb"
Cult of Planet - Pink Floyd - "Take It Back"


Also when you talk about "Give Peace A Chance" being a communist song, perhaps you're referring to "Imagine" instead?

Don't know about the remix, but Fanfare for the Common Man is definately a good one for Lal.

Thinking along those lines, however...

Wouldn't the Olympic Theme or the the song "Olympic Spirit" be a better theme song for Lal?

Whatever

I grew up in a Protestant church, but it's been quite a number of years since I last heard this hymn

[Dr Jekyll]

More ideas:

Cha Dawn: Hare Krishna chants

Yang: Pink Floyd - Arnold Layne (the man wears a DOG COLLAR, for Christ's sake!)

Spartans: Pink Floyd - The Dogs of War

Morgan: Corrosion of Conformity - King of the Rotten
Propagandhi - A Public Dis-Service Announcement From Shell

Miriam: System of a Down - War?
Roger Waters - What God Wants (any part, really)

Usurpers: R.E.M. - It's the End of the World As We Know It

Yellow Submarine for the Pirates is perfect

[knowhow2]

Angels - Britney's Ops I did it again

Morgan - ABBA's Money Money Money

Pirates - Christina A's Dirrty

Sparta - Red Hot's Under the Bridge

You've confusing Domai of the Free Drones with Yang the Hive

[Capt Dizle]

this stuff would be a nice addition to the game, but then I haven't played with the cd sound in years

Domai just wears a ridiculous... Uh... Huge thingy around his neck. Yang wears an actual dog collar. Maybe he's into S&M or something (...ew.)
