To the tune of American Pie - Don Mclean
+ Show Spoiler [People attempts :D] +
+ Show Spoiler [mod edit: karaoke version for those wh…] +
**Note it only covers the first 3 verses and the last one***
**With help from Dwain "swAMi" Bunker who thanks everyone for their feedback and attempts to sing it!
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that game
used to make me smile
And I knew that if I had my chance
I could make those units dance
And maybe i could macro for a while
But WGTour made me shiver
With every replay I'd deliver
PGTour on the doorstep
ICCup was just the next step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about this games demise
But something touched me deep inside
The day that brood war died
Bye bye kiss your eco goodbye
dropped a dt on his workers
not a single survived
dt's leave those noobies wanting to cry
singing imba till the day that they die
imba to the day that they die
Did you write the strategy guide
And can you do a worker slide
If the rules allow it so
Do you believe in Old school Skill
Or do those games just make you ill
And can you bunker rush and kill yellow
Well, Is this gonna be a pimpest play
Whats under that engineering bay?
We all started off as noobs
Man, I miss those unskilled duels
There was a lonely, aussie gaming ace
With a TV all kill for pirates of space
And at WCG he got third place
The year after he retired
We started singin'
Bye bye kiss your eco goodbye
dropped a dt on his workers
not a single survived
dt's leave those noobies wanting to cry
singing imba till the day that they die
imba to the day that they die
Now for ten years we've been on our own
And because of Warcraft we've been left alone
But that's not how it used to be
When the patches came thick and fast
When we weren't consigned to the past
We copped another blow from TFT
Oh, and while the scene was looking down
The events teams didn't let us down
The clan leagues still took place
And TSL was totally Ace!
And while blizzard planned for Starcraft 2
They kept it secret from me and you
And we rejoiced in TSL 2
The day that brood war died
We were singin'
Bye bye kiss your eco goodbye
dropped a dt on his workers
not a single survived
dt's leave those noobies wanting to cry
singing imba till the day that they die
imba to the day that they die
We got a beta that looked to bright
And all the noobs squealed with delight
They've taken all the skill away
I went down to the gaming store
Where I'd purchased the brood war years before
But the man there said the game was old and gay
And in the forums the users screamed
The admins cried, and others dreamed
Now alot of words were spoken
Lets hope the full game isnt broken
And the three sites we admire most
TL, GG and W G T
They'll still be there with news for me
Even though that broodwar's dead
And we were singin'
Bye bye kiss your eco goodbye
dropped a dt on his workers
not a single survived
dt's leave those noobies wanting to cry
singing imba till the day that they die
imba to the day that they die

Its suprising how i actually felt pretty emotional listening to that and reading along with your lyrics... Jesus... How sad for me :\
|
now i have to go to work all depressed and shit :l great job though
|

Count me in.
SC2 coming out is same to me as, say, WC4 coming out....

BW is not dead
people will get tired of SC2 and occasionally come back to play BW cause its better
|
omg, epic lol! Someone needs to sing this asap!
|
Long live BW
It will never die

Not even close, BW will never die. To be honest I think you're trolling.

? Brood war is already dead. ICCup Cl without ToT, Mouz, Rox and Pan after a few weeks of beta ?
Yeah Brood war will probaly be there for a few years !
|
Awesome, but it won't be complete until we have it recorded 
EDIT: just watched the video, fuck this will be so epic if someone sings it 
Also, whoever sings it should submit it to MorroW's contest and you might even get a key if your lucky.
But first we need to finish the lyrics :S
|
|
|
currently singing it, it'll be up in a couple of minutes I guess....

Oh man, I forgot they had CTY in other countries too. Same traditions and everything.

The chorus is sort of weird because it changes from 2nd person to third person

says the guy with 22 posts. Not everybody on TL will get as uninterested in BW as you are.

What's a .ogg file? I can't open it :p
|
Ogg is usually Vorbis, all media players (except iTunes?) support it. You can probably open it in Windows Media Player too if you have the codec installed (ffdshow)
|
Damn, nice
Hopefully this will encourage moar to give it a shot, i wish i could sing it myself but im horrible
EDIT: Thanks R1CH, i don't have the codec though T_T
|
I added an [audio] tag to the TL bbcode, you can use it to embed Ogg Vorbis files for HTML5 compatible browsers, use it just like the [img] tag.
|
when I first saw this thread I knew its not gonna take long for someone to sing it (op should have done it already:-p). gj motbob
|
bw will never die,

best.. freaking shit ever lol.
Btw, hi Bman 8D
|
Fantastic lyrics Bman26 and great rendition motbob. This thread needs more love, perhaps the OP should throw people's attempts into the OP.
|
Brood War will never die. SC2 will carry it's spirit and legacy into the future. =)
But really, I hate all this talk of BW dying. To me, SC2 is merely a new phase of the StarCraft community and professional scene, not the beginning of one and the end of another.
|
definitely not the same without someone singing these lyrics, but the lyrics look awesome. Someone record this gogo

Uhh...no one cares about that. It's all about Korea.
OSL? check.
MSL? check.
SPL? check.
Brood War dead? negative.

Man we need more Starcraft oriented songs they are almost always sweet and this one is no exception.
|
You're such a good singer. Do you have an album?
|
Man, my scroll speed is set just so when I scroll through the lyrics the chorus is in the same place on the bottom of the screen. How rad is that?
Kind of made me a little qq-ey though
|
Great lyrics. Made me want to cry
|
lol cheers for the cred bman
we should do another
|
Where's that guy who did the sc2 beta key song? I wanna hear him have a go lol
|
|
|
|
|
amazing speechlessness
tear drop
|
|
|
Amazing lyrics, decently done by motbob. I think I could do better if I tried, but too lazy.
edit: The harmony of the original song behind the new lyrics makes me want to kill babies.
|
very nice. love all this starcraft songs
|
n.die. bwsc.. Brood war will NEVER die. it will live on in every game you play even after sc2 is out.
|
So fkn good, great job with this!
|
Damn this made me nostalgic. It also made me look up a certain other american pie version on a totaly different topic.
|
Wow... I love it. Smiled all the way through.
|
Broodwar is dead, long live Broodwar!
Nice job.
|
Starcraft would have died eventually had Blizzard not decided to try to improve.
|
lets hope there will be a sc1 tsl 3

[cheesy line]Broodwar isn't dead. As long as it is remembered, It will always live in your heart![/cheesy line]
On more serious note. Maybe it will change in the further OSL/MSL rounds but you can see there's not many people on the LR thread. I remember some rounds of TSL where there was barely any people.
Is it SC2 or maybe because of the upset in the leagues?
|
Sucks that BW is dieing out, but i hope SC2 will get as big as starcraft1

a lot is two words btw = ) and some of the lyrics didn't really match O.o
|
This is gonna make me cry 10 years down the line when i think about starcraft and youtube it.
|
Great job. Think you should give credit to the one who recorded it in the post though.
|
I got several warning by the site about posting in this thread, but after a few drinks revisiting this was awesome. Miss SC so much now, wish it was the good old days T_T. Bring back 2004 the dawn of the Bman era =[
|
|
|
I bring happy news! Brood War isn't dead! Tell everybody!
Btw, no idea how I missed this.
|
Hah nice song. I for one am glad for the bump!
|
I almost cried when I heard this song, remembering the good times. even tho bw is very alive it will never be the same as before
TL allready got alot worse since it got swarmed with millions of sc2 gamers. Kinda wish there were two forums, since even the Bw threads getting raped
|
BW won't be dead anytime soon.
|
Man, fuck that.
I'm having a blast watching the MSL and OSL at the moment, so it's rather hard to feel like Broodwar is dying.
I don't play ICCUP that much anymore (not because of SC2!) but whenever I do, losing to Koreans is as much fun as ever--the day that Broodwar died is still a long ways off, my friends.
That said, Motbob is awesome!
|
I think the OSL news post warrants a bump of this
Edit: It took 2 years... but I guess it finally happened
|
I remember this thread... cant be really 2 years ago
the good think is, now wie know broodwar isnt dead :p its alive, even new players joining in
|
have a kiss for this epic bump. I miss my scene
|
|
|
what the fuck are you talking about people ???
BW is faaaaaar from being dead..
this kind of bullshit is starting to seriously piss me off... -.-
and all those dudes who say - "I miss my scene..." "I would like to play again ((((((((((((((" "Rip BW"
shut the fuuuuuuck....
if you love the game you obviously CAN..
there is still alot of stuff going on, and all the ladders are active, even ICCup..
so stop fucking whining and just PLAY !!!
BW 4 EVER !!!!!
|
A game isn't dead until the pro scene stops playing it. And even then you can keep playing.
|
Truly tragic ballad of loss and sadness. Fortunately, there's still hope.
|
Great song. Idk why people are pissed off at other people -_- Playing BW won't change, but an epoch had gone away, and it just doesn't feel the same as before I got in the party late, but even between late 2010 and now it feels different...

Stop bumping and creating these fucking goodbye BroodWar threads. Get over yourselves, and join in playing and watching the game, or at least stop dragging my mood down with the miserable crap.
|
While you noobs are QQing and being emo, I'm improving my skill at StarCraft and watching the Sonic StarLeague. I think what I'm doing is a bit more enjoyable, but if you want to be miserable, go ahead. :D

To add to your post. MSL, OSL, SPL and Winnders League are gone. All the teams, all the players. If this doesn't sadden you to the bone I don't know what you've been following these years. Yes there are foreigners and other tournaments. They've always been there and they never could compare to the Korean scene. Right now SC2 isn't stacking up to BW and neither is the foreigner scene. Is it possible this will change? Of course. But it's a way to go and work to be done. I'm celebrating CJ and rejoicing over fond memories to a great fan made song. If this doesn't tickle your fancy, by all means go watch some gambit cup from last year and have a cool drink of water. Scene as we know it is still dead.
|
so good song, but still very sad
|
Bumping it because I'm drunk and this was my song, lord I miss broodwar, I miss leading team australia, I miss NaW i miss all of gaming friends and i wish it was 2004 again!
