Come on, W2A is the very first game without containing any part of the Wormsong. I thought I might open a thread and request Jay to make one :cool: nothing big, just a small one like in OW2, playing in the credits or something. Or maybe even smaller, regarding Space Oddity.
Please :D It simply feels like something is missing, otherwise...

I agree. Wormsong is simply part of every Worms game, and Worms game without Wormsong is just Worms clone.

lol yea. I even thought there'd be more people interested in the Wormsong :p
Anyways, Jay's doing quite a great job. I didn't even notice it wasn't Bjorn who composed the music in OW2, first when I read the credits. Sure I recognized the style was different, but he also changed it in OW didn't he? The style sounded kinda more serious, emphasizing the atmospheres of the varying wars in that game in an awesome way, and I enjoyed it. It's great he added a contrast to the game refering to the cool sounding Wormsong at the beginning and that jazzy credit's theme, too.
Yes, the Wormsong. Jay continued Bjorns tradition concerning he always put the Wormsong into the games with varying styles, and it was the first time I heard it in a rockn'roll style :)
In Space Oddity you could hear it at the start of the game in a space/horror/alien style which I liked, too.

The OW2 theme just roxx doesn't it? :D

I like Jay's stuff as well, everytime I play OW2/Space Oddity I think the music emphasizes the atmosphere perfectly. Apart from that, he's awesome at sound effects.
A Worms without the Wormsong melody, though, is like salad without dressing...

This is a story of courage, honour and worms.
War had cast a shadow over their once peaceful land, gunfire filled the air, as worm turned against worm. Where so many had fallen, others knew they must follow. For one such worm, this day had alredy come, when he was two, his father had left, never to return. Three years he had waited for his chance to fight, three years of training, both day and night. And though he was scared as he set off for battle, he knew in his heart that it was something he must do. Three inches tall, and armed to the teeth, a fine soldier he made, and his name was Boggy B.
[Chorus]:
We are worms, we're the best, and we've come to win the war
We'll stand, we'll never run, stay until it's done
Though our friends may fall, and our world be blown apart
We'll strike with all our might, We'll fight for what is right
till the end.
Scrambling up a hill and hiding behind a tree, he looked at the battle that raged below. It was there he saw his friend Spadge, stood upon a bridge but another worm had also seen him, and aimed to have him dead Boggy called to Spadge, but Spadge didn't hear, he never knew what hit him, as he flew into the air. It was all to much for Boggy, as he watched his best friend die. Charging down the hill he had to have revenge, What had Spadge done to come to such an end? Reaching the bottom of the hill, Boggy suddenly heard a click he realised to is terror there was a mine under his tail!
[Chorus]
Hitting several cliffs and landing in a tree, Boggy pulled himself together, there was much he had to do. Spotting the enemy down below, he knew this was his chance. Boggy grabbed a stick of dynamite and dropped it on his head. The enemy, he tried to run, but all he could really do was squirm. As the fuse ran out there was a mighty *BANG*!, and everywhere were bits of worm. With their leader blown to kingdom come, the enemy, they turned and ran! Boggy bungeed from the tree and landed safely on the ground. As he watched the enemy squirm away, the cry went up: 'WE'VE WON THE WAR!'
[Chorus]

Wormsong is more important than the gameplay, get it right!

I have an idea... Team17 could decide to make a contest to chose a Worms Reloaded theme (a fan-made one of course).
It would be a nice opportunity for aspiring musicians and for Worms fans too.
Please Team17 think about it. I'm sure you might find some very good Worms themes.

It's not a bad idea, but really how many people would enter? And if out of the entries none were really great, would you want to be stuck with that in your game?

One would be enough: Bjørn Lynne
:D

Ha. I think Bjorn is quite happy doing what he is doing at the moment. He's moved on, sounds like you need to too. Jay's work has been awesome. :)

Then get all the beer that's necessary to make Jay do it! :D

Don't you have anyone in your developer team who'd like to give it a go?

I love the Wormsongs.
The Classic Worm choruses are great.
We are worms, we're the best, and we've come to win the war
We'll stand, we'll never run, stay until it's done
Though our friends may fall and our world be blown apart
We'll strike with all our might, we'll fight for what is right, till the end.
The Worms Reloaded Boggy B song was okay... I didn't like the lack of the worm chorus though.
