Ah, it's not like we have to deal with them that much. I was in Amsterdam when Holland played Uruguay, oh how we vuvuzed through the night *memories*

I have the strangest feeling that I should have noticed that, being in your signature and all.

Well, that's all I got for questions.

Ask and ye shall receive...

I knew I wanted the songs to be nursery rhymes and lullabies, 'cause they've been stuck in my head lately because of my baby boys (Max and Charlie, no relation to lagomoprh or demonic dummy).

When I finally got around to slapping lyrics on them, I just sat around in the office typing out glotteral replacements for the real words, then singing them out loud until they sounded "cool." I assume that Mark and Will thought I was having an "episode."

They're probably used to it. I bet they tune you out by now.

Thank you for answering!

I noticed Eternal Darkness/You Are My Sunshine, which gave me a good laugh, but I may have to go through again to pick out the rest. Come to think of it, it makes a lot of sense, considering Junior's summoning. I must have been so caught up in the experience to use common sense, haha. Cool stuff, though. Reminds me of my childhood, when I would do something similar to come up with cool-sounding spells, or what I do now when I try to fake singing lyrics. I like how the chants sound. There's a good flow to them, like some sort of apocalyptic Jabberwocky hymn.

Hey yeah! I just noticed that Eternal Darkness is that! I feel like a dope...

Enlighten the uncultivated savages (read: me) what "You Are My Sunshine" is? (Yeah, sure, google and all, still...)

its a bitching song

Hassat Hunter · 08/20/2010, 11:35 pm

Looked it up on YouTube.

I SOOOOooooo reget that...

The Highway · 08/20/2010, 11:43 pm

are you kidding? It's a great song!

Hassat Hunter · 08/20/2010, 11:49 pm

Not sure it's just pure nostalgia about a song that would be horrifying to you if you heard it for the first time this very day?

The Highway · 08/21/2010, 12:04 am

nope, it's cheerful

corruptbiggins · 08/21/2010, 04:01 am

It's also quite useful as a base for a football chant - like for my local club it would be "You are my Boro, my lovely Boro" and so on.

The Highway · 08/21/2010, 05:36 am

Who's Boro?

DrRocketGenius · 08/21/2010, 06:28 am

Jared, you and Telltale should put some of the musical numbers on the Rockband Network. That would be so awesome.

Middlesbrough Football Club. The town of Middlesbrough is locally known as Boro too.

Jared DID do some gem mapping for Rock Band, so that could actually happen!

Probably a stupid question... but is the releasedate already been confirmed/announced?
