Welcome (or welcome back!) to our next contest! This time around, we really wanted to see just how much musical talent is out there in Rune-Midgarts!

 

 

 

The first category will be parody songwriting.You can choose a popular or (unpopular) song of your liking and make it Ragnarok themed. For example, let's say I choose "Trouble" by Taylor Swift:

 

Cause I knew you were Bapho when you walked in
So shame on me now
Killed me in places I'd never been
You put me down, oh
I knew you were Bapho when you walked in
So shame on me now
Killed me in places I'd never been
Now I'm dying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, Bapho, Bapho, Bapho
Oh, oh, Bapho, Bapho, Bapho

 

 

This is just the chorus, but I hope everyone gets the general idea. You will need to do this for an entire song. Now for something interesting: if you record yourself singing the song you write a parody of you will receive a CD in mouth with your name on it! Cool, right? We think so! We're looking forward to seeing and hearing all of the talent out there.

 

 

 

Now for the second category of the contest! The way this is going to work is that you can choose any background music (BGM) from Ragnarok Online. Let's say you love "Peaceful Forest"

 

You would record yourself playing this with some type of musical instrument. Doesn't matter what instrument you choose. If you want to visit Niflheim and bang out a tune on a hollowed out zombie skull, then be our guest! All we ask if that it actually sounds like the BGM you're covering! Anyone that chooses to record themselves playing a Ragnarok Online BGM will receive a named CD in mouth.

 

 

 

• All recordings must include you. You can get a friend to play or sing backup, but we ask that you play a significant part in the recording.
• Anyone caught cheating or plagiarizing someone's work will be disqualified.
• The contest will run from the 19th of March until the 19th of April.
• All entries must be submitted on or before 12am midnight pst.
• To qualify for the song parody contest, you need to change the entire song to be Ragnarok themed.
• Leaving a few lines the same is find, but you can't just throw the word "Poring" in every now and then and hope to win something.
• To qualify for the BGM cover contest, your recording should be easy to identify when comparing it to the original.
• I expect people to behave, but just in case; guild drama, sexually explicit or demeaning lyrics, etc. will not be tolerated.
• You may use your name or a friend's name, but no taking shots at others.
• You may include the GMs as long as you keep it classy.

 

 

 

• Anyone who submits a valid song parody entry and chooses to record themselves singing will receive a CD in mouth with their name on it.
• Anyone who submits a valid cover of a Ragnarok BGM will receive a CD in mouth with their name on it.
• The top three from the song parody contest will receive costume note headphones.
• The top three from the BGM cover contest will receive costume note headphones.
• The fan favorite out of people choosing to sing their parody song will receive costume note headphones.

 

 

If you have any quest questions or comments, don't be afraid to post or PM myself or Tatihana here on the forums.

ooh this sounds like a fun contest.  look forward to the entries!

[bloodyrascal]

This is a parody of Coldplay's popular song, Viva La Vida

Viva La Ragnarok

 

 

I used to rule the world,
Beelz would rise when I gave the word,
Now in the morning when I sleep alone,
Lag the cells I used to own.

I used to roll my cart,
Sense the fear in my enemy's fart,
Listened as the monsters would sing,
Now the AB is dead, let's puppy the Gene.
One minute I held the leaf,
Next the AB was ress'd by me
And I discovered where my Homu stands,
Upon pillars of ash, pillars of sand.

I hear Prontera bells a-ringing,
Thiefbug family choirs are looting,
Be my convex, my twin, my immune shield,
G-T-B's in a culvert field,
For some reason I can't explain,
Once GTB's dead, there was always,
Always a card drop,
And that was when I ruled the world.

It were those meteor storms,
Blew down the Pyramid to let me in,
The Sound of Cart boost and Uproar,
Amon couldn't believe what I'd become.
Khalitzburg-naries wait,
For my head on a yellow plate,
But he's just a mummy on broken throne,
Oh who would ever want to be him?

I hear Morroc's bells a-ringing,
Ancient mummies and mimics are chasing,
Be my convex, my twin, my immune shield,
Amon Ra's in a Pyramid field,
For some reason I can't explain,
I know CM Oda won't yell my name,
Because it was a real card,
But that was when I ruled the world...

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Hear Glast Heim bells a-ringing,
Raydric cavalry swords are swinging,
Be my convex, my twin, my immune shield,
Dark Lord's in a Churchyard field,
For some reason I can't explain,
I know CM Oda won't yell my name,
Because it was a real card,
But that was when I ruled the world.

Is this how it is supposed to be? XD

[kingarthur6687]

You would record record yourself playing this with some type of musical instrument.

 

 

Just a general inquiry (I don't intend on actually taking part), when you say "record yourself" do you mean taking a physical instrument of some description and taking an actual microphone to it? Or is composing digitally, like say a MIDI composition, also acceptable?

[LauraGemstone]

Does the record must be in video or sound alone is okay?

[fuyukikun]

inspired by all priest class out there, here i go making an attempt.

 

Title: He-RO

 

 

Lyric:

Let me be your hero...

Would i buff? if you asked me to buff?
Would i heal? if you said heal plz?
Would you cry if you saw me dying?
But i would save you soul tonight.

Would you tremble if the party wiped out?
Would you laugh? when we reached victory?
Now should i die by casting redemptio?
All i do to make party alive.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
But please give all your loots to me.

Would you share the experience and the loots?
If you lie! i would leave right now!
Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind?
I don't care if you'll die tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
but please give all your loots to me.

I want to level up too.
I want to be rich too.

Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind?
I don't care if you'll die tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain, oh, yeah.
I will stand by you forever.
but please give all your loots to me.

I can be your hero.
I can kiss away the pain.
And I will stand by you forever.
but please give all your loots to me.
that's what makes a good party.

I can be your hero.

 

Recording done using audacity software, mixing done using 'quick fix' mode reverberation.

tips:

would be nice if the CD in mouth is a costume since i dont use CD in mouth to go out (except for fashion when sitting in town).

I will allow you to compose it with something similar to Mario Paint.

This is a great idea actually. My intentions were for people to record it with a microphone, but that would most definitely work too!

So glad you brought this up.

Does the record must be in video or sound alone is okay?

 

Voice alone is fine. People may also record themselves in a video if they wish.

 

 

 

@ Bloodyrascal - That is indeed what we are looking for.

Amazing Contest! =D

My only doubt is: Where should i post/send my video?

Here is my video playing the Payon theme on the guitar:

 

I was thinking of making a new record and send you, but i got anxious, so, here it is, heh.

Ty! Enjoy!

Doesn't matter what instrument you choose. If you want to visit Niflheim and bang out a tune on a hollowed out zombie skull, then be our guest!

Does it have to be a zombie skull or can it be one that is freshly dead? Sound quality differences and all. :3

PARODY Of "Your Song" BY Elton johN

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much ZENY but boy if I did
I'd buy a BIGCASTEL where we both could live

If I was a BLACKSMITH, but then again, no
Or a ALCHEMIST who makes CONDENSENSE in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my STRING and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your SRING
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat in et and tried kicked off the boss
Well fallenbishop they got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

The Grimnir - Till I Collapse (Parody of Eminem - Till I Collapse)

Link to share it with friends.
Lyrics:
[INTRO Starts at 0:33]
My Rising Dragon it's ready for some loot, 15 big blue balls- please don't touch em, that's just rude (SO RUDE!!)
there's no way to refute my MvP card it's ready once and for good, no- ah hell, shoot
Good thing my Sura gets all of them panties- to drop, and I'm not even talking around West of Morroc
so I'll just go to the pvp room in izlude, and leave with your girlfriend on a date, first night dude?
Get it straight, she'll get gfisted, don't get it twisted, it's the jist- and you have just missed it

[VERSE1 Starts at 1:01]
Rampage blast your Familiars if look at me funny, don't think I'm playing like hornets or a lunatic bunny
I'll Creamy her headgears, she'll come back for more- cheers. I'm zen so I don't need to go flee- no, I have no fears ...
If you decide to stay thats cool, 'cause I've got a job for you- watch her spiritually absorb my orbs just like a tool

You can whack a hode if you don't like my stuff,
but whatever you will do I will still end on top -
'cause my MvP skills are just something that I've got and regardless of what you do - I will just one shot


[CHORUS Starts at 1:29]
Till the buffs come off,
till the lights go out,
till my strength is gone,
can't shut my mouth.
Till the drama clears up - am I crazy?
Perhaps
I'ma wreck these threads
till my bones collapse

Till the buffs come off,
till the lights go out,
till my strength is gone,
can't shut my mouth.
Till the drama clears up - am I crazy?
Perhaps
I'ma wreck these threads
till my bones collapse

[VERSE2 Starts at 1:51]
Grinding on these porings like there is no tomorrow, but after my excruciating palm there's no need for sorrow
If you come back for more, I'll let you do your sky blow on me - gentle touch cure from inside of my root though see
holy light at the end of this tunnel, turn my heals into one BIG (pro)casting funnel
Cursed circled so there's nowhere for you to go, forever stuck in this game called i - R - O

Some people believe that I'm the Baphomet, but that can't be right because he and I have just met
The Grimnir is my name and none of you forget, that the game I bring is one that consists of no regrets
So step up your skills, and get your god gears, because when you face me - you'll face against your worst fears
One more time, prepare for repair bills, and dem chivers because I just gave you the chills


[CHORUS Starts at 2:35]
Till the buffs come off,
till the lights go out,
till my strength is gone,
can't shut my mouth.
Till the drama clears up - am I crazy?
Perhaps
I'ma wreck these threads
till my bones collapse

Till the buffs come off,
till the lights go out,
till my strength is gone,
can't shut my mouth.
Till the drama clears up - am I crazy?
Perhaps
I'ma wreck these threads
till my bones collapse

[VERSE3 pt.1 Starts at 2:58]
What people fail to see- is the blessing hanging over me, just for me -being Grim- being who I be
It's the cure for my curse, which leads me to my next verse- without any sort of preparation or a rehearse
Upping my agility, prepare for me to snap, feel my fists full of Fury, you silly Crab
Like the Valkyrie did- the other day, yeah I'm in no hurry- I'll forever stay this way, no worries.

That means no Earth Quake, eat my level 5 Earth Shaker, because this train- it simply has no breaks
So if you ever want out- don't expect any cakes, or felicitations because they would all be just too fake
Better make like Lady Tanee, go and teleport away
be thankful you're set free, go out to a LARP play
could ask me for a warp- if you're still feeling sharp
frankly to me- you're as useful as a Stringing Bard without a harp


[CHORUS Starts at 3:43]
Till the buffs come off,
till the lights go out,
till my strength is gone,
can't shut my mouth.
Till the drama clears up - am I crazy?
Perhaps
I'ma wreck these threads
till my bones collapse

Till the buffs come off,

[OUTRO (whisper) Start at 4:18]
Untill the buffs...
The buffs come off
Until the drama... [x5]
The drama all clears up [x5]

[OUTRO Starts at 4:28]
I
I WILL NOT FALL
I WILL STAND TALL
UNTIL THAT CARD DROPS FOR ME

If you want it to be a fresh kill, I certainly wouldn't want to argue with you!

[Myzery]

Are we limited to one entry for this contest?

 

You can do an entry in each bracket.

I don't mind if you do multiple entries in the same bracket, but you will only be judged on one of them.

[Oda]

Oh and if you don't mind, if you're doing a song parody if you can put a youtube Karaoke version of the song in your post it'll help people who might not be familiar with that tune!

[tatihana00]

wow!!!! i was absent from forums for a bit and i get to see all this. *huge smile* this is great everyone~ i'm so glad to come back to the beginning of a really fun contest~

yes, it would be nice to have a karaoke version~ much easier to follow along while singing to yourself (meaning the judges) to see if the song and words mesh. not required, but definitely helpful.

You're the only thing I wanna kite

Never knew that I could pull so much, so much

Let me take you to my party's camp

You can see us bring end to your life, your life

Mob me like you do, mo-mo-mob me like you do

Attack me like you do, ta-ta-'tack me like you do

Snapping in, snapping out

On the edge of Hugel Field

Every inch of this map, you've been spawning and I've got to find

Only this can get my count so high, so high

 

I'll let you set the pace

Cause I'm not thinking straight

My buff is running out and I can tank no more

What are you waiting for?
