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?

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.

Re: Writing a Trollish fight song
This line fits nicely into that Richard Pryor song from that classic SNL skit:Talisman wrote:Gonna kill all the humies* I see
'Gonna get me a big rock and kill all the humies I seeeee...'
I like the Queen suggestion...all right, how about this:

I can't think of troll fight songs without thinking of these guys:

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!
Som en svarta träd

French song about a Troll, an Elf, and an ... apple.
