I was playing Fallen London (http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com), and it mentioned an old Bazaar-hymn.  So I wrote one.  Kindof a Hallowmas carol.

Thrice For The Dead

So, in the Pathfinder group I'm in, occasionally in discussion someone will make a comment that sounds like a song title.  The list grew, over time, and (for instance) we ran into a group of entities called or described as "heavier metal observers".  Someone commented it sounded like a band name.  At some point we ran into a being, described somewhat tongue-in-cheek like "he MIGHT be a robot", and that sounded like an album title.  Having amassed a list of around 10 or 20 song titles, I set to work writing actual songs to go with them.  I only got through a handful before losing steam, but did still finish several.

So, this is "On a Planet, in Space", on the album "He Might Be a Robot", by the "Heavier Metal Observers".  (But really it's basically just me recording under a blanket in my car in an empty parking lot at 3 AM.)

We met some Gugs on our adventure.  (They did not survive.)  I think they had a leader/master/boss?  (Probably did not survive, either.)  This song is perhaps from his/her/its point of view.  (Before we met up.)  A country song from a lovecraftian alien monstrosity.

So, one of my Pathfinder characters (Vanaran cleric of Gorum, maybe a level or two of monk) took Profession (Cook), almost in defiance of it never being useful.  He would proudly bring it up at almost any opportunity.  "A campfire, you say?  Are there any mushrooms around?  I have profession (cook)!"  We'd kill monsters, I'd inquire into its cookability.  That kind of thing.  This song is from his perspective.

So, this is "Profession (Cook)", on the album "He Might Be a Robot", by the "Heavier Metal Observers".  (But really it's basically just me recording under a blanket in my car in an empty parking lot at 3 AM.)

Some of the song titles we came up with were parodies of children's songs.  They didn't make sense on the main HMO album, so "HMO produced a children's album."  (AKA I made a different subfolder to record the children's songs into.)

So, this is "Head, Shoulders, Lightning Toes", on the album "Robot Children", by the "Heavier Metal Observers". (But really it's basically just me recording under a blanket in my car in an empty parking lot at 3 AM.)

Our gnomish brawler would borrow abilities and stuff, including some kind of lightning kick, I think.  And so "Head, Shoulders, Lightning Toes" was born.

So this is "Gigantic Moldy Spiders", on the album "Robot Children", by the "Heavier Metal Observers". (But really it's basically just me recording under a blanket in my car in an empty parking lot at 3 AM.)

Our Pathfinder group went into a cave covered in mind-controlling fungus.  We had to fight off a number of possessed giant spiders.  Somebody said "gigantic moldy spiders", and it fit the meter for Itsy Bitsy Spider, well enough, and so this song was born.
