It would be so awesome if someone (IE: not me) made a Viva La Vida music video with DF. It would be freaking hilarious. How would this be done, and what do you guys think? Also, if you have a better song suggestion, post it.

Not true.

Not true.

I really don't see how referencing a Coldplay song that's only notable because it's plagiarised constitutes DF discussion, unless there's something I'm missing.   Does the song mention dwarves?

It would be so awesome if someone made a Livin' La Vida Loca music video with DF.

Fixed.

It's about Urist. Look up the lyrics.

[Duke 2.0]

 Until Coldplay stops being so goddam lazy with their music videos, nothing will come of this.

 Also, dwarves require crazy music to match their lifestyles. This ain't human Fortress ya know.

 Not to mention the flaws of a music video to an ASCII game.

I'm mostly put off by the "hey, someone make this thing [i.e. not me]" attitude of the OP.

[Jackrabbit]

I hate this song. It's not bad, but it's a Goddamn BORE to play. I almost feel asleep.

[Capntastic]

At least the song they seemingly plagiarized has some spirit to it.

Dwarf Fortress in its pure form does not lend itself well to music videos.

Yeah, that put me off as well.

[magikarcher]

Well, I have no idea how to even record or edit a DF video. I mean, I might do it, I just don't know how right now.

[Aqizzar]

You know, I actually liked that song, in a "if it comes on the radio I'll listen to it" way.  However, for songs about the lost and faded glory of a Dwarven ruler, as the song would suggest, I think King Nothing is much more apropos.

I want that star
I want it now
I want it all and I don't care how

Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name

[Mike Mayday]

Well DUH, it's goshdarn Joe Satriani.

I always think of Dwarf Fortress when I hear the Killing Joke "Dark Forces"... I just replace the lyrics somewhat and it all fits

You'll need Holy water
and a little bit of knowledge
Invocation
to our Great God of Blood
the Great Evil Around

God gave man dominion
over fowls of the air
and the fish of the see
justification of desecration
who coded this MADNESS?!

Get UP! Wake UP!
Toady One's taking you for a ride
Get UP! Wake UP!
Dwarf Fortress!

They're printing up money
that doesn't exist
Then watch the wealthy
as they cash their chips

Economy's failed, start a war machine
devoid of moral cause
as we witness the end
of international laws

Get UP! Wake UP!
Toady One's taking you for a ride
Get UP! Wake UP!
Dwarf Fortress!

I'm a inside man
of the Berite clan
33 degrees
I'll do as I please

power for power's sake
Eating unicorn meat
and 2 weeks off
in an elven forest retreat...
You wanna come?

All the banking houses
that buy and sell
they'd sell their own mother..
just eat shit die
like everyone else

Get UP! Wake UP!
Toady One's taking you for a ride
Get UP! Wake UP!
Dwarf Fortress

I always imagined DF as being a combination of hard core heavy metal music at some points and polka at others. Watching six dwarves wall themselves in when I foolishly designated the walls on a tower to be built before the floor? Polka. Watching Morul go Chuck Norris an entire orc siege with spear? Heavy metal. Dwarves channeling out the roof wrong and dropping a tile through four floors and flooding the fort with magma? Definitely Polka.

[DI7789]

Perhaps DF needs its own anthem. I wonder if any of the Forumites know how to write songs.

I'd say polka would also fit Morul chopping orcs to bits.

But that's just me.
