Possible DF themesong thoughts (My Apologies in advance)
« on: August 19, 2014, 07:34:44 pm »

Hello various Dorf buddies,

     I was playing DF, while my wife was playing music, one of her favourite songs came on and, due to unfortunate over-exposure (and sheer catchyness) I started singing along to All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor.

     Not something I would usually relate, but some of the phrases hit me as easily adaptable. I am not a musical person, having never played anything more than a recorder (and that badly) but when "Every one of you is perfect from the bottom to the top!" can be changed to "Filling up with magma from the bottom to the top!"
"Got all the right Junk in all the right places" to "Got all the right Junk in all the Stockpiles"

 and such, I thought I'd release this thread into the unforgiving wilds of Bay12 and see if it flourished or died.

There's this one.  Written in actual DF dwarven, no less.

For those looking for a translation:

ucat udir ucat umom - beer black beer dark
ór deb avuz - drink eat mine
otin ne(t)àk otin nashon - wine (neutralize?) wine bloody (not sure about that second word)
råsh numol libash thol - death lonesome axe deep
abod ber - strike earth

Of course the language itself is kind of bare-bones, but you get the idea.

I don't think they qualify, but I made some new songs recently (link in my sig).

In regards to Tankard Basher's weird lyric thingy, it's a typo:

"ne(t)ak" should be "necak", meaning "sweet". (not "nekak" as I originally thought, couldn't find and incorrectly and hastily corrected to netak)

It's been corrected on SoundCloud now.

I like to make music especially for Dwarf Fortress and Soundsense in my spare time (https://www.youtube.com/simonswerwer, http://soundcloud.com/simonswerwer). Also check out Toadese Language Utility to read and write DF dwarven texts (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=136098). Bang the tankards!

This is as mindblowing to me as the time I realized that the lyrics to Koganusan were "koooooooooooo gan uuuuuuuuuuu san".
