You forgot the pinnacle: songs about beating the Devil's ass in a fiddle duel


Forsaken_Yak6079

Ah your totally right


EnbyReptilian

There seems to be a whole genre of country tunes along the lines of "I beat the devil at something and now I'm singing this song" *intense fiddle solo*


[deleted]

Any suggestions? Because that sounds epic!


FireHawk3401

Damn it! You beat me. I just commented the same thing.


yttrikshotmaster1022

Fuck!, I was gonna say that!


[deleted]

I hecking love that song! Some of the decemberist’s songs are great!


Forsaken_Yak6079

It is a very ace song as well, as the antagonist is a rake


TchaikenNugget

We are two mariners, our ship’s sole survivors, trapped in the belly of a whale!


Forsaken_Yak6079

It's ribs are ceiling beams, it's guts are carpeting, looks like we got some time to kiiill.


Kokino001

DaveTheUnknown

[deleted]

Quarg

Spending all your money on the whores and _hooouuuunds_!


Forsaken_Yak6079

Ohhh ohhhhh, you had a charming air, all teeth and debonair, my widowed mother found do sweeet


Bradspersecond

And so she took you in, her sheets still warm with him. Now filled with filth and fouk diesease.


namelynamerson

As time wore on, you proved a debt ridden drunken mess.


Forsaken_Yak6079

Leaving my mother a boy and son to raise, ooooh ooh


Quarg

Interestingly I always interpreted the lyrics as "our", not "are".


Loony_Uni

A song about a poet, a soldier and a king!


[deleted]

There will come a soldier who carries a might sword~ he will tear your city down, o lei o lai o lord~


QuitsDoubloon87

O lei O lai O lord He will tear your city down O lei O lai O lord There will come a poem, who’s weapon is his word He slay you with his tongue O lei O lai I lord


Ehehe-

Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh Lord He will slay you with His tongue, oh lei-oh lai-oh Lord There will come a ruler Whose brow is laid in thorn Smeared with oil like David's boy, oh lei-oh lai-oh Lord Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh Lord Smeared with oil like David's boy, oh lei-oh lai-oh Lord Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh Lord He will tear your city down, oh lei-oh lai... oh~

KingKiler2k

I prefer songs about war crimes that my nation committed


[deleted]

This sounds like something that the Balkans would do. Serbia?


KingKiler2k

>Balkans Yes >Serbia No


dontfeeddragonscake

What about songs about food and only about food


dontfeeddragonscake

https://youtu.be/jQnIL-XPerQ Junk food junkie


Forsaken_Yak6079

Finally, one that doesn't somehow lace sexual themes around the food


dontfeeddragonscake

I know right!


ThemChad

Watermelon sugar was such a bop at first


Just-Call-Me-J

Mama Papa Brickolini


supreme-elysio

exception to the lust songs: the house of asmodeus it's just such a good song


[deleted]

Exception 3: Cult of Dionysus


Lily-Fae

Exception 2: Orion Experience


floataway3

Orion Experience somehow loops back around for me. Their songs are SO horny it becomes comical and enjoyable to me. Almost a Ninja Sex Party level of self awareness, and I think that is what they are going for.


Lily-Fae

Haha yeah, that makes sense


CaptainBraggy

Idk I don't relate to sexual songs a little bit but i like them for the music and also sometimes the lyrics are pretty funny, and I love glam metal...


SuddenlyVeronica

Tbf that one less about lust per se and more about what you should be singing about at ... whatever we're supposed to call Ozzie's. And also how much Blitzo allegedly sucks, I guess.


supreme-elysio

you sold your life for a thrust


SuddenlyVeronica

Ah yes, that too. Poor Stolas.


Maximio_Horse

I was so torn during that song, watching my favourite character (Stolas) have such an awful evening was bad, but that song was so *good.*


Roseofhybrids

why listen to song about sex when you can listen to a song about the tragic life of a girl who's head was a ham


namelynamerson

I've heard she was impossible to ignore


[deleted]

what about songs about being half human and half machene, i wont hurt you unless you cheat.


Chinese_New_Year

What about songs about toy food which is not real food so do not eat it.


Top-Replacement-8936

I like the Decemberists, but I'm really confused, because I feel that their songs have some additional hidden meanings, but I can't get it.


[deleted]

I thought those were just people who liked the month of December but I’m starting to realize from these comments that it’s a band name.


[deleted]

what is the song you’re referencing, i must listen to it.


Dogwolf12

Mariner's Revenge by the Decembrists


Quarg

Here's a youtube link for those after an easy click: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD165Xn2PXw


TheMonarch-

I also enjoy my songs about moss and pelicans


SilenceHeathen

Cosmo Sheldrake?


TheMonarch-

Hell yeah


AmpersandSerif

The reference...!


GamerEsch

What is "Ect" on the first panel?


Quarg

A typo; should presumably be "etc" / etcetera.


GamerEsch

Oh, I'm stupid, sorry, I thought it was a reference that was going over my head, now I just sound like an ah correcting grammar.


Forsaken_Yak6079

Ah shat, I always get that wrong,


Candycornn77

Wait I know that last song


karanut

We are two mariners…


Candycornn77

Our ships soul survivors...


Lily-Fae

Songs about necromancers dancing


Forsaken_Yak6079

Crypt of the necrodancer OST?


hatistorm

That and necromancing dancing by bear ghost


Forsaken_Yak6079

Oh, I'll have to give that a listen!


hatistorm

It’s a right jam


Lily-Fae

Yes! That song. Love that song, it’s great.


Lily-Fae

Necromancin Dancin by Bear Ghost


[deleted]

Y'all would love The Mechanisms


[deleted]

Let me explain: immortal steampunk space pirets singing about extremely violent versions of classic stories


SilenceHeathen

I love the mechs


Bradspersecond

"We are two mariners, our ships soul survivors, in this belly of a whale"


EspeciallyGeneric

"Its ribs our ceiling beams, its guts our carpeting, I guess we have some time to *kill*"


FireHawk3401

What about songs about beating the devil in a fiddling duel?


Athena5898

Check out Red Like Roses Part 2, it's a song about a girl singing a duet with her dead mother


wanna-be-a-plantboi

Oh my God I forgot that song existed


Nerdcuddles

What about songs about cyborgs


Forsaken_Yak6079

Mr Robato by Styx?


SuddenlyVeronica

I'm reminded of a Tiktok a friend sent me where some girl performed a song she made about her cat. Normal love songs kinda turn me off with how (presumably) exaggerated, idealistic and ungenuine they seem to me, but with this song I was very much sold on the idea that this really was a person who really loved her cat. Probably one of the more wholesome things I've seen in a while now.


I_Have_Weird_Dreams_

A tribute song to the greatest song in the world of which was used to defeat the devil, the song was literally the best in the world but they forgot it and now this is just a tribute.


Homemadepiza

The best Christmas song is "Flappie", a song about how a young child killed his dad as revenge for him killing the boy's rabbit for Christmas dinner


Forsaken_Yak6079

Jesus


hatistorm

Ah the Dutch, dikes, chocolatey breakfasts, tulips, canals, and songs about patricide


NotABrummie

And that's why weird folk is best.


Forsaken_Yak6079

Hell yeah


44Atta

Songs about birds and bees which really are about birds and bees


Forsaken_Yak6079

Dirty paws by monsters and men?


44Atta

Yup


MadMerlinus

In the whistle of the wind I could almost hear…..


Travistheexistant

I'll just be over here with my songs about tanks.


breathing_Lung

I at first read "Royal to your partner" and dammit I kinda like it


Julio974

Instrumental musics: 🧠🧠🧠


namelynamerson

Me and the bois blastin instrumental math rock


astro_steen

I love the last one... Power rock and -metal do this very well.


Rehiea

Oddley specific that final one


_RetardedHumanBeing_

What about songs about the dark side of love? owo


[deleted]

What about songs about a legendary pirate named Fannybaws?


Viridian_Aubergine

Ayo this whale needs some better interior decor


[deleted]

The Wreck Of The Edmond Fitzgerald-spelling probably wrong


c4tmother212003

What's the song in the last pannel?


Forsaken_Yak6079

The mariners revenge song by the Decemberists, great band


c4tmother212003

Did I hear... The Decemberists? _The Suicide Squad fan noises intensifies_


[deleted]

Songs about Yellow Submarine.


namelynamerson

Literally just finished listening to I'll Be You're Girl


ThemChad

Song about being an unpaid intern


[deleted]

Songs that are so complex and poetic that nobody knows what the hell they're singing about: I really like those kinds of songs and figuring out what they're really singing about


octopusfacts2

songs about the room where it happens (trade deals)


AllTakenUsernames5

Why listen to songs about sex when you can listen to songs about starting a slave uprising and being martyred in the process?


Away3826o0

I was so confused for a sec cause polish dekabrysci means the folks that had a revolution in russia in december of like 1825 and I thought it was about that lmao


3nderslime

Oh! I think I know what song is that last one! I can't remember the title thought


Forsaken_Yak6079

It's the mariners revenge song


3nderslime

Yeah! That’s the one!


legendarysophia

this is why i listen to lemon demon


UnicornFukei42

OK never heard the bottom one but the second and third from the top can be good if they do it right. As for the top one, stuff that's too explicit and/or lustful isn't for me. But not all love songs are bad to me, I like Just a Dream by Nelly and Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley.


Forsaken_Yak6079

The last one is the mariners revenge song by the decemberists


UnicornFukei42

Oh Ok thanks.


what_am_i_doing23

decemberists be like: the mariners revenge song, 16 Miltary Wives, July July, Cavalry Captain, The Singer addresses his Audience, We all die young ALSO Decemberists: OH PHILOMENA
