So you're the last man standing. Choose your song of battle.

Post by Super Laydock »

I remember this thread from a few years ago where was asked (paraphrasing):

"Your the last remaining hope for your race/people/culture/civilization to counter evil alien invaders.

You get aboard your (space)ship (last one and you're the only one who can fly it) & you get to pick out 1 song to accompany you on your mission to save your world.
what would it be? and why?"

So what would be your Swan song?

For me it would have to be stage 8 from Thunder Force IV.

Or Mika Nakashima's Glamorous Sky. ;)

Gamma Ray - Armageddon

It's the end of the world as we know it
And it's only just begun
The eyes of the world are closin' forever
When the day of judgement will come

Push it to the Limit from Scarface, of course.

Yakkety Sax is already taken, you see.

Or the first track from The 7th Guest's soundtrack (Rules of the Game)

Ex-Cyber stole my first choice, so...Eruption, from the same album. Bonus points if the flight through enemy territory and the battles match up with the music.

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...

The Victor by Dick Dale. Perfect title and a blazing hot riff that would empower anyone to get it done.

An amateur version of it can be seen here. Imagine this, but a thousand times more powerful.
