Lyrics:

I'm dreaming of a White Walker
Just like the ones on HBO
As their blue eyes glisten
The book fans listen
In fear of spoilers from the show

I'm dreaming of a White Walker
With every raven that I write
May you make it through the long night
And may all your Others just be wights.


the best singing voice in house manwoody does it again. I laughed out loud when i heard the "or your torrent service" overlay.

on a side note: this is just another piece of evidence that dogs are a superior pet to cats. my dog would never randomly bite me twice. cats can be such assholes. i'm not saying cute cuddly felines should be abandoned, i just dont think the dog vs cat debate is even a debate.

dogs > cats every time and its not even close

Whelp, here's my meager offering: MP3. :?

Lyrics:
Spoiler: show
Gods rest ye sombre Kingsguard,
Ned Stark has slashed a way,
To find a squalling bastard,
Newborn upon this day.
His sister’s blood fresh on the babe:
Farewell sweet Lady Lay.
O tidings from Towers of Joy,
Towers of Joy;
O tidings from Towers of Joy!

In Winterfell, to the North,
Jon Snow had found a home.
But baseborn blood, fast ensured
His crib was left alone;
And so he struck out to the Wall,
To etch himself a throne.
O tidings from Towers of Joy,
Towers of Joy;
O tidings from Towers of Joy!

Into the Wildlands he roamed,
To clash with savage men;
Yet found himself a sweetling girl,
Whose hair was touched by flame.
But love can be a bitter draft,
“We’ll go back to that cave, and laugh.”
O tidings from Towers of Joy,
Towers of Joy;
O tidings from Towers of Joy!

Now he sits upon his Wall,
His veins filled with up with ice;
Endless days of plotting ways,
To ready for the fight;
And save us all from Winter’s power:
The dying of the light.
O tidings from Towers of Joy,
Towers of Joy;
O tidings from Towers of Joy!

In hindsight, it's a bit gloomy. I'll try to come up with a more upbeat one as well. :)

Also, if someone knows how to play the original song, and can provide a backing track, that would be awesome. I originally tried to use a karaoke version, but it was too fast for me.

cheers :D I just thought the instrumental needed a filler and it's always tickled me how harry strickland keeps bemoaning the non appearance of his elephants after the crossing, thought I'd try to make it funny , maybe it doesn't quite work

No worries, it certainly is funny! It was just my momentary shocking lack of knowledge that I forgot about Mr. Strickland and his penchant for pachyderms and therefore I was confused about that interlude.

Any ideas for a song about an Other, based on Frosty the Snowman? Maybe some made up other like 'Fred the Other' or perhaps the Night King?

Probably too late to make it in this year unless someone sings the male part asap and amin manages to get it in but I finally got to record my part of my baby its cold outside duet.

https://soundcloud.com/elenajones1/baby-its-live-or-die-take-3

Spoiler: show
I don't want to stay
(But Sansa you live or die)
I'd rather go away
(But Sansa you live or die)
This man I'm stuck with's
(Stick with me you'll get your wish)
Creeping on me
(I'll take you far, you could be queen)

You did rescue me from Joffrey
(You're perfectly safe here with me)
And you pushed my aunt out the moon door
(Sansa please don't think about her)
But don't think that now you've got me
(Sansa how can you not see)
I've known so many false friends before
(Baby you're the one I adore)

Things aren't what they seem
(I'll teach you the game of thrones)
This world is so mean
(You'll be as wise as the crone)
I'll figure out how
(You'll learn from me you're mine now)
To save myself
(Just trust in me I'll treat you well)

I don't think I can trust you Ser,
(Your mother let me get closer)
It's more likely you were denied
(Are you saying that I have lied?)
I must learn this game
(I'll teach you to survive)
Cuz Baby it's live or die

I long for the North
(But Sansa I'll get you there)
The home of my birth
(You'll marry Harry the Heir)
I don't have much luck
(You have to make your own luck)
With marriage pacts
(Fourth times a charm, Sansa relax)

You want me to call you father
(You'll be my loving daughter)
My father never acted like this
(Maybe that's why now he's headless)
I don't love you, so don't bother
(Alone you're political fodder)
I'm really not too sure about this
(Come here, Papa wants a nice kiss)

No not on the lips
(Some gratitude's surely due )
Try, I'll kick your dick!
(I'm doing so much for you)
I need you, so what,
(Sansa you know what...)
You need me too
(You might be smarter than I knew)

I'll use you 'til I don't need you
(Sansa what else can you do)
Right now I really don't have much choice
(Listen to the sound of my voice)
I will learn this game
(I'll teach you to survive)
Cuz Baby it's live or die (both)

Well if any guys want to give it a try maybe we could still do this.

Also I've never combined audio and got as far as downloading something that supposedly would do it (audacity) and importing the music file and my singing file. But it is time for me to start my beef Wellington and I have to put it aside for now. Any guidance would be appreciated. Is audacity a good way to do it? I'm going to watch a YouTube video that should walk me thru it once the roast is taken care of.

I recorded the creepin' Littlefinger lines and mixed them together: MP3 ;)

Hopefully there's still time to include it in the podcast!

Edit: Whoops. Sorry, if I jumped the gun Varley. :oops:

Why not a threesome? :feathered: Or one main version, another played at the end.

Are the two files meant to be played simply back to back, or are the lyrics alternating? If it is the latter, someone else should put the two files together to save me the time.

Hey Sorry Everybody. I've been slammed with having family stay over. Lots of blissful chaos.

Anyways I'm super pumped that I've got some male singers! I have a cousin who is a semi-pro musician and he agreed to mix the tracks for me. :D

Also on another note, I fuckin nailed the beef wellington and was told it was like the best dinner anybody's eaten in probably like forever. Go me!

Maybe just an intro like a DJ or an announcer. I think it would tie things together well.

Thanks so much Amber! And thanks for the compliments on the singing :) I've really been practicing and trying to get better control and pitch so I appreciate that a lot!

And a very big thanks to Valkyrist and Varley! Loved Valkyrist's Creepy Little Finger and I was laughing so much. So awesomely lecherous! My cousin is gonna get back wiht me on how it sounds with the music but I think it's great without as well. Varley, you did awesome and i love howit came together!

It took a while but he got Me and Valkyrist with music too and it's pretty hilarious. Not sure if it'll make it in but you guys must listen to it.

Thanks again to both guys for coming through!
