 Posted: Sun Nov 26, 2006 8:02 pm Post subject: Create a Song |
 |
|
It has been suggested that there be a Music class taught in Hogwarts. The concept of actually making songs to be heard in the game is, of course, impossible. But we can still create the other elements of the songs.
If you like music and would, please, like to help, this is what would be cool- come up with the cultural types (Celtic, Indian, English, etc.), the meanings or subtext of what the song means, and lyrics to these wizarding songs. Creativity, commence. =)

Okay here are (hopefully) humouristic lyrics of an English folklore song:
| Quote: | Vlam the Veela
Once upon a time,
My man was reciting
Silly, sweet rhymes,
To me near a spring
When...
Vlam! came a Veela!
His eyes stared and bulged
As the Veela started her thing
But I wouldn't budge
rather took a stone and carefully aiming
Vlam! hurt the Veela!
The morale of this story:
Never neglect a lady
Nor make her angry |
Hum, yeah, er... momentary loss of sanity?

Here's a bit of randomness =P
| Quote: |
The Enchanted Sausage of Middlesex
My lady was baking a pie one day
My lady was baking a pie
She went to the butcher's to buy some beef
And there to her suprise
O! Was a sausage! A walking talking sausage
The biggest most sausagest sausage you'd seen
It had arms, it had feet, had a wand made of meat
And there it stood, quite scowling and mean
My lady took up a big axe that day
My lady took up a big axe
And brought it down on the table with ease
Which made an almighty crack
O! How that sausage, that walking talking sausage
The biggest most sausagest sausage you'd seen
With its arms, with its feet, with its wand made of meat
O! How that sausage did scream!
My lady brought home a good pie one day
My lady brought home a good pie
Said she, "Well all's well that ends well, you see
But who will eat sausage? Not I!" |
Perhaps it's a children's song from way back.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that. Anyways, here's my song (I had it all typed and then my computer went crazy :K Grr.):
Two Fwoopers, a owl, and a Crup
Couldn't decide which way was up
Staring down at the ground
They saw it was brown
And as they gazed at the earth in awe
A worm poked it's head out
And with a shout, spat in their eye.
With a cry, staring at the sky,
They were blinded by the sun.

Nothing really original (or good) here, just an attempt at a love song, a recent one, maybe one Celestina Warbeck (Mrs Weasley’s favorite singer) would sing.
| Quote: | Like a Charm
I have this guy friend
You know the kind
Not drop-dead gorgeous,
Not rich or famous
Simply a guy
I fell in love with
When he laughs, it’s like a Cheering Charm
Whenever he brushes past me,
It’s like a Confundus
When he smiles at me
With this twinkling in his eyes
I’m Imperius’ed.
Just like a Charm, Just like a Charm
I’m under his charm
When he touches me,
I’m in a Full-Body Bind
No need for a broom
When he talks to me
No need for a Shield Spell
If he’s by my side
Just like a Charm, Just like a Charm
I’m under his charm
When he calls for me,
He could as well
Have accio’ed me.
No Finite Incantatem will ever
Free me from him
His Charm is permanent
Just like a Charm, Just like a Charm
I’m under his charm
But, oh, does he need a Cleaning Charm
Or maybe an Impervius for his glasses?
I’m spellbound and can’t reach to him
Do I have to brew a love potion?
I’m under his charm,
Will he ever fall under mine? |

I wrote this song a few nights ago because I was bored: just FYI, the spirits/four/guardians it talks about are gnomes. 
| Quote: | The Autumn Lake
In the lovely wood of winter
Midst the land of seasons three
Is a lake with quiet waters
That sits and waits for ye
It is silent, it is gentle
This autumn’s glowing love
Whose shores are home to spirits
That most only dream of
And if you meet
One of these four
Be sure to say hello,
For otherwise they’ll
Say so long
For seven seasons more
The autumn lake does wait for you
Her guardians calling loudly
But when you step upon her shores
Hold your head up proudly
And when the guardians whisper oft
The secret of the wood
Sit down upon her shining banks
As my love never could
And if you meet
One of those four
Be sure to say hello,
For otherwise they’ll
Say so long
For seven seasons more |

| *blush* Thank you... it's actually funny how that started out... the college I'm going to next fall has a dorm for artsy type people... writers, painters... Harry Potter fans... it's great! I got my acceptance letter about two weeks ago, and hit the roof. I'm so excited about going! But you see, the dorm's mascots are gnomes, so I've had a complete gnome theme going on... so, that's how The Autumn Lake came to be born. |

Gosh, that's beautiful!
I'm trying to write one about Muggles, and I'm using the tune of one of my sister's Los Angeles Children's Chorus songs. xD |

| Quote: | They’re muggles,
Not witches, nor wizards so pure,
No magic is in their air,
So we are sure.
And yet, we may never
See how they survive,
As muggles, so simply,
And stay satisfied,
Singing ho-de-oh-de-oh-de-ay!
Sing ho-de-oh-oh-de-ay!
Forgetting their lenses,
They think all is swell.
Without even hint of an Accio spell!
A-a-a-and…oh how their clothes,
Without even a pocket,
To just stick a wand,
Or a spell-brewing socket.
As if every day
there’s not even a care,
About any spells,
Or a potion to share…
Singing ho-de-oh-de-oh-de-ay!
Sing ho-de-oh-oh-de-ay!
Singing ho-de-oh-de-oh-de-ayyyy! (drawn out)
Sing ho-de-o-oh-de-ayyyy….ho-de-hay! |

Oh ages ago when Hogwarts was anew,
There was a young wizard who did lose his shoe,
He looked all around but his shoe was not found,
That poor young child did not glance at the ground
His shoe, his shoe, his shoe,
That poor little boy if he knew
his shoe, his shoe, his shoe,
If only it would be rescued
That one little boy did find his shoe quite soon
It was just in time for his lunch at twelve noon!
I made that up on the spot, Thats my mind on sugar.

A English Rock song, kind of like the ones the Weird Sisters do maybe.
Why don’t you believe in me?
Where did we go wrong?
Why won’t you let me?
Be where I belong
But you are still to scared
To let go again
But you are still to scared
To let go again!
Trust in me!
(Let me fight my own battles)
Believe in me!
(You know I’ll always be true)
Breathe in Me!
(So I can feel the truth in you)
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Cast your spell on me again
Dreaming of you every day
And all night long.
Is this not mutual?
Or has the fear won.
But you are still ashamed
That you are not strong
But you are still afraid
That it will all go wrong!
Trust in me!
(Let me fight my own battles)
Believe in me!
(You know I’ll always be true)
Breathe in me!
(So I can feel the truth in you)
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Cast your spell on me again!
Grieving for you
Running to you
Every step I take, will take me closer
Your arms holding me
Is all a dream
But I won’t let it be no more
Cast your spell…..
On Me…..
AGAIN!

maybe you could do some instrumental stuff. type notes in a certain order, for instance:
>a
you pluck an a note on the guitar
>g
you pluck a g note on the guitar
>g#
you pluck a g# note on the guitar
>d
you play a d not that is off tune on the guitar
a skill level could determine the chances of being in in tune or note quality.

There once was a Boggart who lived in a lair,
With darkness and silence and stench in the air.
The village nearby had a girl with a smile,
Who skipped past the cave every once in a while.
Now rumours of monsters the dear girl had heard,
She’d run past the lair though was worried and scared.
From Gryffendor stock our young heroine did rave,
She knew to continue she must now be brave.
So one special time in the mist of the night,
She wandered to visit with faint candlelight.
She stopped at the entrance, in hope and in fear,
To look out for clues of the monster now near.
The wise girl daren’t flee with her nightmare in sight,
She reached for her wand and then raised up her light.
With spells slung so loud that she made such a fuss
She shouted out proud, oh be gone, Ridiclus!
The lesson she learned from the house she held dear
There’s nothing to dread, least of all, our own fear. |

I came across this thread and was intrigued to write something and I ended up doing a song about Dumbledore. I can imagine this being sung in an inn somewhere, or maybe within Hogwarts in times of celebration and remembrance. You might not like it, but it's worth a shot anyway 
| Quote: | Ode To Albus Dumbledore
----------------------------------------
To the greatest wizard ever known,
Old he was, wise down to the bone,
Bespectacled half-moon, bright blue eyes aglow
No need to guess, as you should know
It is him we sing for,
The one, the only Dumbledore!
Nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak!
Come on now raise your drink,
Nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak!
Stand up now, and move your feet,
To the greatest wizard Hogwarts bore,
The wise old Albus Dumbledore!
He fought wizard’s great with power,
No, not once did he ever cower!
A Sorcerer, once a friend he called,
The malefic Gellert Grindelwald.
He was young, O! How he was callow,
And from his hand he took the Hallow.
Nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak!
Come on now raise your drink,
Nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak!
Stand up now, and move your feet,
To the greatest wizard Hogwarts bore,
To the wise old Albus Dumbledore!
He dabbled once in alchemy,
With brilliance to an high degree.
And his beloved Phoenix, who could forget,
Fawkes his name, a noble pet,
Sherbets and Acid pops were such treats!
He had a quirky tooth for those sweets.
Nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak!
Come on now raise your drink,
Nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak!
Stand up now, and move your feet,
To the greatest wizard Hogwarts bore,
To the wise old Albus Dumbledore!
Now to conclude this cheery song,
We learnt from him that we all belong.
He taught us our choices would make us free,
It is from this he shall always be,
In our hearts, remembered forever more,
Our dear and loved Albus Dumbledore.

It might not be impossible to come up with actuall songs. I play Bass guitar and Cello, stand up bass and I'm trying to learn the flute. My friend plays guitar and my other friend plays the drums. I'm sure if the creator of the lyrics could record themselves singing, I could writ someting up and my friends and I could record. my friend is an awsome singer and could help as well. Just a thought.

Would parodies of famous songs/rhymes be inappropriate?
For example the Pussy Cat and the Owl could be turned into Kneazle and Owl, or A Noiseless Patient Acromantula, etc. |
