### Writing a Trollish fight song

- Quote

Post by Talisman » Sun Jul 27, 2008 3:48 am

Long, strange story short: my D&D party, which is otherwise human/elf, now includes a troll. For dubious reasons, the Troll War Chant is now our battle-cry (even mine...and I play a paladin).
What I'm looking for is a real song whose lyrics I could replace, Yankovic-style, to be the Troll War Chant. Ideally, it would match one of these rhythm schemes (the only two lines we actually know of the chant):
Gonna kill all the humies* I see
***
Punch in face! Punch in face!
Any ideas?
*"Humies" = humans = non-trolls = enemies. It's weird but appropriate for a mostly-human party to be chanting this, because it makes sense in the original Trollish.

Hmm... well, it should have something about thumping dwarfs. Oh, and Koom Valley.
For a quick shout at the enemy there's always "Come 'ave a go if you think yer 'ard enough!"
I suppose "We will rock you" is an obvious one, what with it having a good warsong beat and also having the word "rock" in it, rock being a racial slur for troll.
And don't you go telling me trolls aren't made of rock. I refuse to think of them as anything other than Discworld trolls.

Aorgah golug raug orgarah
Worug goorah! Worug goorah!
No, I don't know a real song that fits. That's why I rendered it in the original Trollish.
Edit: Koumei, have you ever seen the Dwarf Poetry thread?

No. Let me guess:
Gold gold gold gold gold
Gold gold gold gold gold gold gold
Gold gold gold gold gold
Right?

You have no idea.

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

This line fits nicely into that Richard Pryor song from that classic SNL skit:
'Gonna get me a big rock and kill all the humies I seeeee...'

I like the Queen suggestion...all right, how about this:
We Will Smash You
(with apologies to Queen)
Buddy we're the Trolls make a big noise
Ragin’ in the street gonna squish the humies today
We will punch yo’ in face
Yeah, punch in face
Kickin’ your skull all over the place
We will we will smash you
We will we will crush you
Buddy we're the Trolls we're hard man
Roarin’ through the street gonna tear down your world today
We will punch yo’ in face
Yeah, punch in face
Kickin’ your skull all over the place
We will we will beat you
We will we will eat you
Buddy we're the Trolls, you're dead man
Pleadin’ won't help 'cause the Trolls are gonna get you today
We will punch yo’ in face
Yeah, punch in face
The Trolls gonna hafta put you back in your place
We will we will smash you
We will we will crush you

I can't think of troll fight songs without thinking of these guys:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=d3u86DPd7qc
Bland skuggor rider en odjur
Som en svarta träd
Griper hård på en mäktig hammar
Ut för svaga kristna blod
Trollhammaren!
Trollhammaren!
Trollhammaren sveper igen
Hugga ned, broder igen
Hör det sista ropet
Trollhammaren är här
Trollhammaren!
Han är inte en människa
Inte bräcklig och svag som dig
Du ska vara maktlös
Inga ögon ser din änd
Trollhammaren!
Trollhammaren!
Sedan mörkret övertog
Räds den frostens kalla fingrar
Som griper tag och förlever
Under kommande vinternatt
Trollhammaren!
Trollhammaren!
Trollhammaren!
