TOPIC: The Team Token song?

I was told that Team Token had written and sang a song for True Dungeon, while they were doing their run I could hear singing but I couldn't make out the lyrics, perhaps one of the fine members could post them.  =D

There were several songs this year (both Widseth and Evan did a great job as Bards)...but the one we sang to Jeff was "Hang down your head Jeff Martin..."<br /><br />I'll leave the lyrics to our masterful Bard (Widseth) to write down!<br /><br />It was a classic moment, as the other group in the exit room even joined in and sang along with us.<br /><br />Jeff seemed amused!  =D

That was the funniest thing during the entire con!!  I loved that and laughed so hard I was crying at one point.  I couldn't even tell Adam about it without laughing.  I can't wait to see the lyrics.

Our cd will be available at the next Gencon.  19.99 or 200 gp in tokens.  =D<br /><br />Kim

I was there for the first singing of "Hang Down Your Head, Jeff Martin," and it was very creative and alot of fun to sing!  Definitely should be Team Token's theme song!<br /><br />BTW - Thanks to TT for letting me join!<br />

Haha!  The funniest moment for me was watching Jeff and seeing him almost start clapping before the next verse would start up.  He was a good sport about it.  Although I think he was happy to see Lori. 

I don't know if you would call them the Team Token song or songs, but they definitely were a lot of fun to put together.  First night on the HC combat run I played the bard and Evan played the bard on the HC puzzle run.  Evan had some great lyrics too.  Maybe he can post them.<br /><br />From Man of La Mancha:<br /><br />Hear me now oh thou bleak and unbearable world<br />Thou are base and debauched as can be,<br />And our party with banners so bravely unfurled.<br />Now hurls down our gauntlets to thee.<br /><br />We are we, Team Token<br />The Lords of the Dungeon.<br />Destroyers of evil are we,<br />And we march to the sounds<br />Of the trumpets of glory<br />Forever to triumph or die.<br /><br />Hear me heathens, and wizards, and serpents of sin,<br />All thy dastardly doings are past,<br />For a holy endeavor is now to begin,<br />And virtue sha triumph at last.<br /><br />We are we, Team Token<br />The lords of the dungeon.<br />Our destiny calls and we go.<br />And the wild winds of fortune<br />Shall carry us onward,<br />Wither so ever they blow.<br /><br />Then there is the Kingston Trio ripoff that gained popular acclaim:<br /><br />Hang down ya head Jeff Martin<br />Hang down ya head and cry.<br />Hang down ya head Jeff Martin<br />Ya monsters are gonna die.<br /><br />We met up in the tavern.<br />I was singin' a little song.<br />When the cleric said we need ya,<br />I decided ta go along.<br /><br />Hang down ya head Jeff Martin<br />Hang down ya head and cry.<br />Hang down ya head Jeff Martin<br />Ya monsters are gonna die.<br /><br />By this time tomorrow,<br />The dungeon will be clear.<br />Hadn't been for Team Token,<br />There'd still be a lot to fear.<br /><br />Hang down ya head Jeff Martin<br />Hang down ya head and cry.<br />Hang down ya head Jeff Martin<br />Ya monsters are gonna die.<br /><br />We'll sit around the table<br />And split up all the loot.<br />While the hides of the evil critters<br />Are bein' made inta someone's boot.<br /><br />Poor boys now:<br />Hang down ya head Jeff Martin<br />Hang down ya head and cry.<br />Hang down ya head Jeff Martin<br />Ya monsters are gonna die.<br /><br /><br />My personal favoirte with apologies to Peter, Paul and Mary<br /><br />Ruff the tragic monster<br />Lived in a cave.<br />He gnawed the bones of honest folk,<br />And put them in their grave.<br />Little Jeffy Martin<br />Loved his monster Ruff,<br />And gave him teeth, and ugly claws,<br />And other nasty stuff.<br /><br />Ruff the tragic monster<br />Lived in a cave.<br />He gnawed the bones of honest folk,<br />And put them in their grave.<br />Repeat.<br /><br />Together they would travel<br />In a boat with billowed sail.<br />Jeffy kept a lookout perched<br />On Ruff's gigantic tail.<br />Noble kings and princes<br />Fled the other way.<br />Only creatures from the deep<br />Would stick around a and play.<br /><br />Ruff the tragic monster<br />Lived in a cave.<br />He gnawed the bones of honest folk,<br />And put them in their grave.<br />Repeat.<br /><br />One day a valiant party<br />With weapons sharp and bright<br />Entered into Ruff's dark cave<br />To set the story right.<br />Jeff may live forever,<br />But not his monster dear.<br />Team Token entered in the cave<br />And ended all the fear.<br /><br />Ruff the tragic monster<br />Lived in a cave.<br />He gnawed the bones of honest folk,<br />And put them in their grave.<br />Repeat.<br /><br />Jeff's head now bent in sorrow<br />Big tears fell like rain.<br />Ruff no longer gnawed on bones<br />Or gave the people pain.<br />Without his vicious monster,<br />Jeffy lost his hoard.<br />Team token split up all the loot,<br />And the town its approval roared.<br /><br />Ruff the tragic monster<br />Lived in a cave.<br />He gnawed the bones of honest folk,<br />And put them in their grave.<br />(A little different now)<br />Ruff the tragic monster<br />Lived in a cave<br />Until Team Token entered in<br />And put him in his grave.<br /><br />Enough for now.  Leaving out the tribute to Grimwood, The Walls are Alive, and of course that old favorite Supercalifragilisticexpealidocous.<br /><br /><br />Can't say enough about TD this year.  I will detail my thoughts in another post.<br /><br /><br /><br />Widseth

Great to meet you in person, Widseth, and to join you on one of your runs!  Great songs!<br />

Those are great!  I'm going to spend the rest of the day at work giggling now, mostly because I can still hear the song in my head.  Can I be the first to buy the CD?  =D

The song was awesome, but it was a little weird to have a song with my name in it.  Of course my massive ego always wins over my embarrassment so I ate it up like a gamer at a free 5-minute pizza buffet.  It was really a funny and appropriate song, and it was one of my coolest 2007 memories.  Thanks for the sing-along guys!  I won't forget it...ever!

Thanks for posting those Dennis! Those sing-a-longs were awesome, I loved them! Thanks Jeff as well for being a good sport about it :-D The grins on everybody's faces was, hopefully, worth it!<br /><br />As for my own humble songs, they were written specifically for the two monsters I knew we would be facing on our Saturday Puzzle Run, so they're quite specific, but here they are:<br /><br />To the tune of Zoot Suit Riot, for the Shambling Mound.<br /><br />Who's that shambling through the trees?<br />It's a mound and it's covered in leaves.<br />Rocks and twigs and all that jazz,<br />We must kill it in order to pass.<br />Team Token's come to play, yeah,<br />You know we like it rough!<br />When we start our sliding<br />There's nothing that's to tough!<br /><br />Throw those sliders (sliders!)<br />Because we're fighting a mound.<br />Throw those sliders (sliders!)<br />We'll beat it in to the ground.<br />Throw those sliders (sliders!)<br />Team Token is the best around.<br />Throw those sliders (sliders!)<br />Because we're fighting a mound.<br /><br /><br />To the tune of Livin' La Vida Loca, for the Medusa<br /><br />Go slide! Let's slide now!<br />Fightin' a Medusa<br />We must hit, and how!<br />We have no excuse-a<br />She works for the Drow!<br />It's time to let loose-a<br />Kill her! That's our vow<br />Fightin' a Medusa<br /><br />She's turn you to a statue <br />and she'll leave you in the rain<br />Standing there forever <br />really would be quite a pain<br />It will drive you insane, come on!<br /><br />Go slide! Let's slide now!<br />Fightin' a Medusa<br />We must hit, and how!<br />We have no excuse-a<br />She works for the Drow!<br />It's time to let loose-a<br />Kill her! That's our vow<br />Fightin' a Medusa<br /><br />Ignore her sexy swaying<br />and just focus on the kill<br />She may look tempting,<br />but remember, she will make you ill<br />If you fail this save of Will, come on!

I thought the perfect song for the medusa is a real song by Finger Eleven...<br /><br />Well I'm not paralyzed<br />But I seem to be struck by you<br />I wanna make you move<br />Because you're standing still<br />And if your body matches<br />What your eyes can do<br />You'll probably move right thru me<br />On my way to you<br /><br />(might not be the exact words, but that's from memory)
