Just For Fun: rollin', rollin', rollin'

[planetfall]

Just for fun what music do you hear playing in your head during games?

Is it ever something along these lines?


Beginning of New Game
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rollin', rollin', rollin' Though the AIs are swollen
Keep them armies rollin' Rawhide!
Rain and wind and weather Hell-bent for leather
Wishin' my gal knew of my fame
All the things I'm missin', Good vittles, love, and kissin',
Are waiting at the end of my game

Chorus:
"""""""
Move 'em on, stack 'em up stack 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em on, stack 'em up Rawhide

Count'ng slaves, rid'ng home, rid'ng home, count'ng slaves,
Count'ng slaves, rid'ng home Rawhide!

Modern Era Game
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Keep movin', movin', movin' Though the AI's disapprovin'
Keep them armies movin' Rawhide!
Don't try to understand 'em Just bomb, attack, and smash 'em
Soon we'll be living high and wide.
My hearts calculatin' My true love will be waitin',
Be waitin' at the end of my ride.

Chorus:
"""""""
Move 'em on, stack 'em up stack 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em on, stack 'em up Rawhide

Count'ng slaves, rid'ng home, rid'ng home, count'ng slaves,
Count'ng slaves, rid'ng home Rawhide!

I don't hear music, but I do hear voices. They tell me to burn things.

Music ? Nah, I listen to poems as mp3.

Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do & die.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd & thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot & shell,
While horse & hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them
Left of six hundred.

When can their glory fade?
the wild charge they made!
All the world wonder'd.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!

Cavalry sucks vs tanks.

P.S.: What tune do do have in mind for your lyrics ?

Liked your lyrics of the 600 and the charge of the light brigade.

What tune? This is a very slightly modified version of the lyrics of Rawhide. Rawhide was an old B&W TV western. Others of the era were Paladin {Have gun, will travel} and the Rifleman. I don't have the tune to Rawhide. Walmart used a snippet of it in their ads last year. The original tune is on the web. I found it once.

Original lyrics:
Rawhide.

Only part of this actual theme was used on the television show.

Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rawhide!

Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them dogies rollin'
Rawhide!
Rain and wind and weather
Hell-bent for leather
Wishin' my gal was by my side.
All the things I'm missin',
Good vittles, love, and kissin',
Are waiting at the end of my ride

Chorus:
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Rawhide
Count 'em out, ride 'em in,
Ride 'em in, count 'em out,
Count 'em out, ride 'em in
Rawhide!

Keep movin', movin', movin'
Though they're disapprovin'
Keep them dogies movin'
Rawhide!
Don't try to understand 'em
Just rope, throw, and brand 'em
Soon we'll be living high and wide.
My hearts calculatin'
My true love will be waitin',
Be waitin' at the end of my ride.

Rawhide!
Rawhide!
