Why Love and Fightans Don't Mix -- A Musical Lament
walkyourpath | 8:07 AM on 10.22.2009 17 comments





Here's a little tune we whipped up for grins over the past few weeks -- we were happy with the results, so we thought we'd share it with you, Dtoid!

It's a silly "sad" song about leaving a woman who cheats in love and in Street Fighter. . . it's called Rage Quit.

This was a interstate Dtoid effort -- I recorded my parts here in Austin, and through the magic of technology, Kauza pulled it all together with his recording in New Mexico.

Lyrics

I always thought your moves were cheap, but I was blinded by the "perfect" in your eyes.
Well, you crushed my dreams and self-esteem, just like you crushed my Ken with Chun-Li's thighs.
When our love experienced latency, I tried to start our story mode again.
I jumped to cross the gap, but baby, you just kept on spamming -- hadouken, hadouken, hadouken.

I guess it's time to ragequit.
I'll toss my joystick, smash it all apart.
Because it's time to ragequit.
You broke my combos like you broke my heart.
And now it's time to ragequit.
I'll toss my joystick, smash it all apart.
So now it's time to ragequit.
You broke my combos like you broke my heart.

Well, when I found you were untrue, it hit me like a hundred-hand-slap to the face.
You said you loved my yoga style, and that my "sonic boom" could never be replaced.
So now I'm turtled in the corner, playing defense, crouched and cowering in fear.
You were my favorite Player 2, but baby, now all that is through -- I need a lover from a higher tier.

I guess it's time to ragequit.
I'll toss my joystick, smash it all apart.
Because it's time to ragequit.
You broke my combos like you broke my heart.
And now it's time to ragequit.
I'll toss my joystick, smash it all apart.
So now it's time to ragequit.
You broke my combos like you broke my heart.

<solo>

My heart's win loss ratio -- has never been this low,
how to counter, I don't know -- feels just like I'm fighting Daigo
hadouken
hadouken
hadouken
<uncontrolled sobbing>

Put down the lyrics. The music levels are higher than the vocals, hard to hear

Beautiful guys, beautiful.
Jack Maverick's Destructoid Blog
I'm kinda getting the feeling that there was some minor They Might Be Giants inspiration in there. If you do happen to be a TMBG fan, that would be awesome.

Just about as awesome as this song was. Which was really awesome.

@Hamza -- Thanks for the feedback. Lyrics are now added!

@Jack -- I am a gigantic TMBG fan. :D

@CTZ: I mixed with headphones and on my 5.1 system hooked up to my compy. I'll see if I can sent it to a few people with different speaker setups next time to make sure it sounds OK. Hopefully I can step up the production overall for future songs...my equipment is pretty basic.

 about me

Greetings, Programs!

My name is Sean, and I am a 34 year old cubicle monkey living in Austin, TX. with my lovely wife of 1 year, Dawn. And yes, we are acutely aware of the cheesiness of the rhyme scheme. And no, it doesn't bother us when people make fun of us for being so saccharine, because we are both huge dorks in our spare time. Being happy in life gives your character +1 million XP towards the "not caring about other people's opinions" skill.




Above : Me from my theatre days. Puppy Licks says it makes me look like Kefka.

Likes : sense of humor, intelligence, creativity, the ability to argue without fighting, not taking one's self too seriously.

Dis-Likes : console crusaders, people who are cruel on the internet because they are too timid to express themselves in real life, people who cannot separate facts from opinions, Fox News, onions.
