Radio Tamriel

[KnorKater]

What if Tamriel was as technologically advanced as we are? What would the music be like? Re-envision songs of our world as music from Tamriel. Post a title, a refrain, or an entire songtext. Funny or serious is your choice. Limit it to one song per post, so others can shine, too.

 

Example:

 

"Prankster's Paradise - by Sheogorath" (orig. Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio)

 

"As I walk through the bit of Dementia that's left

I take a look at my serfs and realize they're pretty daft

Cause I've been mutilating and torturing so long, that

even the folks in Mania think that's weird and wrong

 

But then I also nick adventurers who didn't deserve it

So them calling me a madman is totally perfect

Hidden in the bushes I watch them walking and watch them talking

Soon they and their brethren will be happily squawking

 

I love to make them trip because it's fun, ouch

As I quickly rise and turn one of them into a pouch, fools

I'm the kind of prankster YouDovah's wanna be like,

Bringing others to their knees, while babbling nonsense in the streetlight

 

Been spending most their lives, livin in a prankster's paradise

Been spending most my life, turning others into cheese I like"

What if it became strictly forbidden to start any topic or discours with "What if...?" We'd run out of whatiffers, that's what.

Nah ... they'd just mutate into "If only"s.

What if my Highfell was the capital of tamriel?

[zixi]

Then you'd sing: Climb Ev'ry Mountain... (from the The Sound of Music)

Climb every mountain,
Search high and low,
Your sword must be somewhere
Someone has to know.

Climb every mountain,
Fight every foe,
Follow every pointer,
Where else can you go?

A sword that you’ll need
To survive in this world
Or some kind of weapon
Something to be hurled?

Climb every mountain,
Dragons everywhere
Stay away from caverns
Vampires might be there…

and so on...

 

I really must get out more...

It's raining. I thought of a better rhyme...

OK that didn't go down that well... so how about Radio Tamriel to Queen's Radio Gaga?

 

I sit alone and watch your fights

My only friend through lonely nights

And everything I had to see

I learned it on my old PC

You gave me all those gaming stats

I wore out all those gaming mats

You made me laugh; you made me cry

In Morrowind I too could fly

I wore headphones to save the noise

Isolating me from girls and boys

Who don’t know me or just don’t care

Can’t see if I am anywhere.

 

I had my time; I had the power

Was Dragonborn; my finest hour

Radio Tamriel…

Plays: The hammer and the anvil song

no other details needed it's a good song!

"Turn the Page" - Borab gro-Se'gahr*

On a long and lonesome highway, in the west of the tundra
You can listen to your horse cloppin' out his one-note song.
You can think of your companion, or the one you knew the night before.

But your thoughts will soon be wanderin' the way they always do
When your ridin' many hours since there's nothin' much you slew,
And your butt don't feel like ridin'; you just wish the quest was through-ooh-ooh.

Say here I am, on the road again.
There I am, in a rage.
There I go-oh-oh, swingin' blades again.
There I go, turn the page.

When you wander in some little town, strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you as look t'escape the cold
You pretend some just won't bother you, even if you might explo-o-ode.

Sometimes you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can.
All the same old cliches, "Do ya use that with both hands?"
And the guards got you outnumbered; don't dare make too strong a sta-a-and.

Here I am, on the road again.
There I am, in a rage.
There I go-oh-oh, with my axe again.
There I go, turn the page.

But when you're in a battle, you're a million miles away.
Every ounce of strength and energy in the axe you swing away
And the sweat pours out your body like the blood of those you slay-ay-ay...

Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes of the weapon strikes still ringin' in your head,
You drink the day's last drink or two, rememberin' what they sai-eh-ed.

Here I am, on the road again.
There I am, in a rage.
There I go-oh-oh, with my axe again.
There I go, turn the page.

Yeah, here I am, on the road again.
There I am, in a ra-a-age.
There I go-oh-oh, with my axe again.
There I go...
There I go-oh.

 

* to the tune of Bob Seger's "Turn the Page"

Metallica should definitely play in highrock.

Because Metallica is cool and highrock is cool!

[zixi]

Sometimes titles of posts remind me of songs and I'm not happy till I've made something up. So, I give you:

"Stuck in the Loading Screen with you" from Stuck in the Middle with You" - Stealers Wheel. No 8 in the (UK) charts 1973. 

I'm hope Radio Tamriel would play this one...

 

Well I don't know why I’m gaming tonight
I've got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I’m worried bout the state of my hair

Trolls to the left of me
Dwarves to the right
Here I am stuck in the loading screen with you

Yes I'm stuck in the loading screen with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this mouse in its space
Losing control, yeah I'm all over the place

Trolls to the left of me
Dwarves to the right
Here I am stuck in the loading screen with you

So you tell me I should start again
And reinstall just every thing

When all I want to do is play
Slap those dwarves and on my way
Please help me
Please help me

Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool play on Linux now?
'Cause I can't think any how.

Trolls to the left of me
Know-alls to the right
Here I am stuck in the loading screen with you.
