- Hobgoblin camp song

MadHatter:

I must say, this is your best work so far, love it!

Bloodbeard:

Yup! Brilliant. And this was easy to find a rythm to.

Admiral:

I must say, this is your best work so far, love it!

MadHatter
Thanks, but sorry, it isn't really! The reason is because the whole structure was stolen right out of Lord of the Clans, whereas everything else I did was rhythmed from the ground up.

So I can't really claim it be fully my own work. Kudos to Blizzard. :hat off

Fuggit Khan:

This is hands down my favorite song so far…I’ve been patiently waiting for a Hobbo song, the fact that it’s a camp song makes it all the better.

Don’t ask me why, but the first time I read the lyrics, for some odd reason that makes no sense to me, I sung it in my head to the music of the South Park Russel Crowe song:

Somehow it just works :cheers

Admiral:

@Bloodbeard: Thank you! Half the work was already done by Blizzard, though. I only had to make up suitable rhymes and lower the grammar.

@Fuggit Khan: Thank you! Haha, I can see why that melody should work. How about jumping on the bandwagon and deliver a Hobgobbo song of your own? The more authors of porridge poetry, the more styles, the merrier! :slight_smile:
