Need suggestions
|
I've got a need in several different Steps for a song that'll let Doug refine/melt/extract metal, with refine/extract being more operative than "melt". Anyone have any suggestions?

Manowar - The Gods made heavy metal?
possible divine level output, possible divine intervention..Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979 
Hm.
You load sixteen tons, and whaddaya get, Another day older and deeper in debt... Depending on what parts of the song trip what parts of Doug's subconscious, this may work... but he may also end up with a fairly large bill.-- "I give you the beautiful... the talented... the tirelessly atomic-powered... R! DOROTHY! WAYNERIGHT! -- Sucrose Octanitrate. Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode. 
The only thing I thought of was Judas Priest's Painkiller (ONly one line about boiling metal, but it's very prominent when you hear it) which sems more likely to be either a combat simalcrum (Maybe THIS one could work for something like a Doberman buma?) or an instant-Iron-Man effect.

Quote:I'll have to look for that one. Thanks. -- Bob --------- For Jor-El so loved the Earth, he sent his only begotten son... Quote:Mmmmmm... no, not quite what I had in mind. I think a song that in general was about purifying, improving or refining (anything) would be usable, but I think I'd prefer it if metal were in it if only as a metaphor. -- Bob --------- For Jor-El so loved the Earth, he sent his only begotten son...
Well, Val Davis has one that talks about being the steel in the blacksmith's forge, but I think that's a little late in the process for what you have in mind. Besides, according to the Sword Forum Magazine article Nathan linked to a while back the whole thing about zillions of folds and sprk-spitting hot making the best swords as in fact false, despite the mythology. So... still thinking.

Might this be something covered by a song created on Warrior's World and not this one? Sparked by new songwriters trying to get in the business by triggering Doug's metatalent?
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.'' -- James Nicoll Quote:That'd be cheating. It quite possibly could, at least in a real worldbuilding sense, but picking up real songs to go with the images is at least half the fun of Colonel Sagnoir's character. Right, Bob? Ja, -n =========== =============================================== "V, did you do something foolish?" "Yes, and it was glorious."
Precisely.
Oh, and please note, I'm not looking for a swordmaking song. I'm looking for a song that could, say, turn iron ore into pig iron ingots. Again, purifying, refining, extracting -- simple melting as a last resort, but I can do that with any fire song, basically -- this is what I'm looking for. -- Bob --------- For Jor-El so loved the Earth, he sent his only begotten son...
Hmm. Got a possible one for you, maybe. It's called 'Soul of the Steel', and it talks a bit about refining/working of steel, the uses of it, and the like. Trying desperately to find the actual LYRICS. If nothing else comes up, I'll find the tape it's on, and transcribe them as soon as I can. It might take a few days, though.
--Feinan
First, thoguh based on just the title and being repeated as a chorus since I don't speak enough (any) Japanese to actually understand the rest of the yrics, would be Guitar Vader's Heavy Metal Collector (which is easygoing alternative/pop, not metal). The best song that's literally about refinement that I can find is titled Mountain Dew and only attributed as "Irish Traditional" - It's more likely to let Doug turn water into whiskey though, which while useful for medicinial purposes and handy for getting in good with Urd is not particularly useful for extracting metal. Looking for "irish" on your file sharing app of choice should turn up any number of similar numbers, I imagine. Lenny Kravitz's Dig In might help with the actual getting-it-out-of-the-ground part... Taking the concept of fixing or stripping away flaws/the extranous lets REO Speedwagon's Roll With the Changes and Rammstein's Stripped (yes, it's in English) hang around on the edges...
And, of course, Magic Toenail by Brak and the Cartoon Planet Band (which Doug might have picked up on spec because the album is titled "Modern Music for Swinging Superheroes") is so general that it could do practically anything. - CD I have a magic toenail/I keep it on my foot/It's always there to rescue me/when something goes kaput...SERVO: Loook *deeeeply* into my eyes...

Looks like I'm going to be busy this weekend. Since we're heading into Princeton tonight by Peggy's fiat, I guess I'll be digging through bins at the Princeton Record Exchange searching for some of these titles...
Thanks, folks. -- Bob --------- For Jor-El so loved the Earth, he sent his only begotten son... Quote:Yeah, Google doesn't help much there, although I've managed to find out who wrote/sings it: someone named B.J. Willinger; and it's a filksong. -- Bob --------- For Jor-El so loved the Earth, he sent his only begotten son...
Timestop + focused heat energy to the point of liquification of any designateable target.

FINALLY!!!!! AAAHAHAHAHQAHAAHAHZHAHAHQQA:ZSLJDA:LJ!@!@#:!QLKasd
sad k;lasd ;asd ;klq22k; l!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111!!!!!!!!1one that song's been tickling my brain since your original post. bet ya it'd work damn sweet on sand, too. Doesn't matter what the exact temperature in which sand would melt into stable glass is, the song specifies that that is the temperature which will be established. HA! HA HA! I win. my brain shall NEVER defeat me!Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979 Quote:That might be one of the better candidates so far. (I found the Manowar song, btw, and was a bit disappointed in it, honestly...) -- Bob --------- For Jor-El so loved the Earth, he sent his only begotten son... Quote:Only thing I could think of off top-of-head. This particular request seemed to pluck a chord with me - I think there should be a multitude of perfect songs for this effect.Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979
Well, if you don't mind a Disney song and having the song work as what the characters singing it do....
Hi Ho, Hi Ho It's off to work we go. The song sung by the Seven Dwarfs. Summons seven dwarfs to quickly mine a cave or mountain(probably including man-made ones such as garbage heaps) for extracting whatver... For refining, melting and smithing, I'm at a loss for now. -------------------- Tom Mathews aka Disruptor
CD, I'm not ignoring your suggestions -- I just need to find them to listen to them. Rest assured they're not dismissed!
-- Bob --------- For Jor-El so loved the Earth, he sent his only begotten son...
Well, like before, if all else fails it is possible to send them

I remain convinced that "Melt with You" is a trigger-Third-Impact-on-the-spot song.
--Sam "Don't make us bite you in hard-toreach places!"
So if its played backwards... it should reincarnate (make meat again) the Eva's souls?
No, that would be Paul Simon:
No I would not give you false hope On this strange and mournful day But the mother and child reu-nion Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine. I can't for the life of me Remember a sadder day I know they say let it be But it just don't work out that way And the course of a lifetime runs Over and over again No I would not give you false hope On this strange and mournful day But the mother and child reu-nion Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine. I just can't believe it's so, and though it seems strange to say I never been laid so low In such a mysterious way And the course of a lifetime runs Over and over again But I would not give you false hope On this strange and mournful day When the mother and child reu-nion Is only a motion away, Oh, oh the mother and child reunion Is only a motion away Oh the mother and child reu-nion Is only a moment away --Sam "Blood covers The City like a big red afghan." |
