I remember a fair few months back, me and someone else decided it was a great idea to edit a rather well known song to be more... Dworfy. While the rythm is a little off, and... other musical stuff [My took a few points out of musical creativity and forgot to place them anywhere else] so it's not perfect, but I copied and pasted, and edited it a little from a sent message, and here it is to share with you!

I keep on litening to music and seeing how I could edit it to relate to DF, so I might edit some more songs, I would love it if you did too! Even if it's only one line or so from a random song you like! Share!


The fortress has crumbled
I'm making a note here: HFS
It's hard to overstate my elf hatred.
Dwarven Science
We do what we shouldn't
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are elves.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of fun.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat engraving.
For the Dorfs who are still alive.
I'm not even berserking.
I'm being so ecstatic right now.
Even though you broke my ☼Bed☼.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into caverns.
As they rotted it hurt because I was so happy for you!
Now these spatters of blood make a beautiful mural.
And we're out of dwarves.
We're failing on time.
So I'm Urist. I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are still alive.
Go ahead and drop me.
I think I prefer to stay underground.
Maybe you'll find someone else to make lye.
Maybe the clowns
THAT WAS A JOKE.
HAHA. FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this cheese is great.
I should go engrave it all over.
Look at me still partying
when there's Science to do.
When I look out there, it makes me glad I'm not you.
I've experiments to run.
There is research to be done.
On the Soap Makers who are still alive.
And believe me I will re-embark.
I'm doing Science and I will re-embark.
I feel ECSTATIC and I will re-embark.
While you're dying I will re-embark.
And when you're dead I will re-embark.
Re-embark? (x2)

[Tellemurius]

dude im going to find a E piano and sing that song for you!

[UnrealJake]

I love you.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

.... Epic.

[Tellemurius]

ok as a lazy bastard i know i won't able to do that piece on a piano on time so ill cover someone else or i find a midi.

[Max White]

So at first I was signing to the tune of deck the halls, and then I went over the second line, and then went back and starting singing it again, right this time.

Suggestion time? It is your song, so do as you feel, but I would change "You just keep on trying till you run out of fun." to You just keep on trying till you have too much fun."

Further more.

"And you make a neat engraving.
For the Dorfs who are still alive."

Into

"And the migrants scream and run
And regret that they are, still alive"

Once again, you don't need to listen to me.

[UnrealJake]

.... Epic.

Well, I only edited a little. It kinda went back and forth between us untill we forgot who started it.

Deck the halls eh? ... I think enough pop stars have murdered christmas classics though... should I?... Nooooo.... yes.

And it's not my song, I'm glad you looked at this and thought of ways to make it better. That makes more sense and sounds better so I will edit it. Cheers! 

[Tellemurius]

ok looking online i found great midi made by Jerrett Heather, converted to audacity so i guess i wait for the lyrics, i called the song Dwarven It. make sure find someway to smooth out some of the lyrics so transitioning doesn't make me sound retarded.

*EDIT OMG shes got a piano play!!!

Interesting fact: The real song, dwartal, is played at the end of DF when you finish the game.

theres a ending?

[Gatleos]

The only problem is that no one's still alive by the end. This would make an excellent Dwarven drinking song though, just tighten up the lyrics a bit.

Of course! When you breach HFS in real life. Strike the earth!

Tom Jones classic:

"My, My, My, Urist
Why why why, Urist?
I could see that dwarf was no good for me
But I was lost like a man, no slave could free"

"I felt the runesmith in my hands and he tantrumed no more"

[UnrealJake]

I changed it from STILL ALIVE to Re-embarl. It's more fitting and while it's not reclaiming, that didn't fit and re-embark could simply be embarking on a different area.

[Max White]

Well when I embark!
Well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the dwarf who embarks with you.

And when I'm digging!
Well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the dwarf whos digging next to you.

Well I would smooth 5,000 walls!
And I would smooth 5,000 more.
Just be be that dwarf who gets the right to detail the entire meeting room floor.

BOATMURDERED!

BOATMURDERED!

Bo ba bum ba da bum ba da bum ba da da da da!




For claritys sake, the song is 'I'm gonna be', by a band called the proclaimers.
