Phantom of the Opera?

My mom sings "Midnight at the Oasis" for Oasis.

My strongest one is "Life is a Highway, I'm gonna ride it all 6 buys"

Ah yes, my buddy GozerGomez likes to sing "Highway Man" in the chat when that card's present.

[Rodafowa]

Listen all y'all, it's a Saboteur.

Oh, and obviously: "this is not the greatest card in the world. This is just a Tribute."

[Robz888]

Well, here's what I have in my head whenever I play Masquerade:

And here's my Duchy song, obviously:

[Galzria]

Well, here's what I have in my head whenever I play Masquerade:

And here's my Duchy song, obviously:

It's like we're the same person. You didn't create my account as a phantom did you?

[Tejayes]

Crossroads - If I'm in a classic rock mood, "Crossroads" by Cream. If even more classic than that, the original Robert Johnson version. Or, if I'm feeling hip-hoppish, I'll think "Tha Crossroads" by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony.

Bridge - Usually "Under the Bridge" by Red Hot Chili Peppers. If in a more depressed mood (i.e. ten-game losing streak), "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon & Garfunkel.

Wishing Well - "Wishing Well" by Terence Trent D'arby is my usual choice, but sometimes I'll start singing "Goodnight Girl" by Wet Wet Wet instead.

Watchtower - "All Along the Watchtower," of course. Only the Jimi Hendrix version, though.

Island - ..."La Isla Bonita" by Madonna. Yeah.

Navigator - Reminds me of Nami, so I start whistling whatever "One Piece" theme pops into my head.

[Davio]

Island reminds me of "Islands in the Stream" by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers.

Festival - The German song "Festival der Liebe" or the Dutch translation, an après-ski song.

[kn1tt3r]

Festival - The German song "Festival der Liebe" or the Dutch translation, an après-ski song.

Oh my god.

[Jack Rudd]

Highway - "Gulf Coast Highway" (Nanci Griffith)

[Thisisnotasmile]

Masquerade - No, it's not what you're thinking. I've never seen Phantom of the Opera.

[dor]

Won't you take me to Shanty Town?

[Smithe]

The only one that starts me singing is "Caravan" by Duke Ellington.

[sparky5856]

Continuing with Masquerade, this song always pops in my mind whenever playing with the card:

I don't dare post what song pops in my mind whenever someone plays Possession. (Hint: It's not cheerful.)

[Eevee]

When playing highway chains:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfVsfOSbJY0

Nowadays I try to veto highway to avoid it.

[pingpongsam]

Highway:
If winning - Life is a Highway - Tom Cochrane
If losing - Highway to hell - AC/DC

City:
We Built This City - Rock of Ages

Duchy:
Whip-Smart - Liz Phair (mega bonus points if you get this without looking up the lyrics)

Chapel:
Chapel of Love - The Dixie Cups

Witch:
Witchy Woman - Eagles

Hunting Party:
Message in a Bottle - Police (minor bonus points if you got this one since the title isn't the focus here)

[jotheonah]

Nobody else goes Weezer for Island?

[ehunt]

Continuing with Masquerade, this song always pops in my mind whenever playing with the card:

I don't dare post what song pops in my mind whenever someone plays Possession. (Hint: It's not cheerful.)

Possession puts Possession by Sarah McLachlan in my mind. Don't know what song you're thinking of.

[Morgrim7]

Festival: Lily, Rosmary, and the Jack of Hearts.

[Thisisnotasmile]

Not a song, but

To market, to market, to buy a fat ___ insert card I am about to buy...

What about when you buy a Market?

[yuma]

I like ww's "mark it down as a market" for that. Ww used that a lot in his vids commentary.

[ChocophileBenj]

City : Big city nights AND My City My Town (both from Scorpions)
Bridge : Under the bridge (RHCP)
Island : Island in the sun (Weezer)
Highway : Highway to Hell (ACDC), of course !!! And it's true games with highway are often pretty mad !
Chapel : (dont know the english title, if you don't recognize jump at 0:52)
And a few French songs :
Adventurer : L'Aventurier (Indochine) of course !!!
Caravan : En attendant les Caravanes (La Rue Kétanou)
Masquerade : Au bal masqué (Compagnie Créole)

And... that's it !

Edit : how could I forget "Sultans of Swing" (Dire Straits) for swingy cards that are Tribute, Harvest, Jester and Swindler ? A little ad for three memes : http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=1204.450

[AJD]

Not a song, but

To market, to market, to buy a fat ___ insert card I am about to buy...

Grand Market specifically does that to me.

[Kirian]

Continuing with Masquerade, this song always pops in my mind whenever playing with the card:

Possession puts Possession by Sarah McLachlan in my mind. Don't know what song you're thinking of.

Um, I think most of us would agree that McLachlan's Possession is not a cheerful song.

[Tdog]

LMFAO Party Rock Anthem- Everyday I'm Shufflin'

[theory]

You mean Hunting Party Rock Anthem - Everyday I'm Shufflin'

[cayvie]

Young Witch - YMCA - Village People

Me too.

Also, Possession =

[jotheonah]

Clearly we should petition FunSockets to play snippets of these songs whenever their cards are played in the online implementation.

[Tombolo]

At the risk of managing to out-nerd an entire forum dedicated to Dominion strategy, here is the soundtrack in my head for every Festival game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WadpQXFbIIY

(because y'know it's a festival and stuff....I'll just be in the corner over here.)

[Silverback]

I go with Bone Thugs'n Harmony for the Crossroad.

I don't know the artist of this one but it goes something along the lines of:
All together now (together) all together now (together) all together nohow (together) in Nomad Camp (together)

[Kirian]

As mentioned in another thread:  Tenacious D's "Tribute."

[Thisisnotasmile]

Well I'm surprised it took me this long for this one to jump into my mind, but it's now going to be there for every DA game ever:



(Explicit lyrics)

[Wolphmaniac]

The only one that starts me singing is "Caravan" by Duke Ellington.

This.

Also

"Chapel of Love" Gooooin to the Chap-el and we're...gonnnna get traaaaaashed!

"The Militia" by Gang Starr. The hook is perfect for the card.

"Witchy Woman" by The Eagles

"The Torture Never Stops" by Frank Zappa.  Perfect for Torturer chains. 

"Wharf Rat" and "Ship of Fools (Gold)" by the Grateful Dead.   

"The Girl is Mine" by Michael Jackson The girl is Mine...mine mine!

"Even Rats" by The Slip

"Love Potion #9" by The Searchers

"Down With the King's Court" by Run DMC.  OK, it's really called "Down With The King"

"I'll Remake Love to You" by Boyz II Men.  It's a remix of "I'll Make Love to You" that doesn't exist yet.

"Hit the Road Jack" for Jack of All Trades

Not a song, but whenever I play Spice Merchant I hear Macho Man Randy Savage screaming "TURN UP THE SPICE!"

Metallica:
Four Horsetraders (of the apocalypse)
Unforgegiven (I, II, and III)
Of Wolf and Talisman
Of Wharf and Man
For Whom the Nobles Tolls
And Justice for Great Hall
2x4ge
Hit the Lighthouse
Ride the Lighthouse
Metal Militia
The Memory Remakes
Wasting my Haven
Baronnie
Shortest Scout
Frayed Ends of Salvager
House that Jack of All Trades Built
Fade to Black Market

Phish:
Scheme from the Bottom
Divided Spy
Golem Papyrus
Chalkdust Torturer (this is my other handle on isotropic)
Dangled My Stash
Duchy and A Movie
Fly Famous Marketbird
Golgi Apprentice
The Story of the Ghost Ship
Moatstick
Slave to the Traffic Lighthouse
Weekapawn Groove
Harem Hood
The Minion Josie Wales
The Horse Traders
Let Me Lighthouse
You'll See the Ventures Moving In
Walls of the Margrave
Col. Forgin's Ascent
Can't I Live While I'm Young Witch
David Duchy
Sell it to the Butcher in the Black Market
Making Soup with the Ambassadors
Wading in the Village Sea
Highway to the Great Divide
Cars Trucks Bridges

 

[cayvie]

Oh yeah, just remembered Roxy Music "Remake/Remodel"

[ycz6]

The Big Money, by Rush.

Big Money goes around the world
Big Money give and take
Big Money done a power of good
Big Money make mistakes
Big Money got a heavy hand
Big Money take control
Big Money got a mean streak
Big Money got no soul...

[Qvist]

Baker, Baker

[gman314]

Like a lot of other people, Masquerade gets a song stuck in my head, but it's a different song.

[StrongRhino]

Hermit- Crazy (Gnarls Barkley)

[blueblimp]

Taxman

Gets me every time. Too bad it's not a very good card.

[Asper]

Allready posted this in another thread, but this is where it belongs.
Masquerade
Sea Hag

[sudgy]

For some reason, my brother decided that this is the duchy rush song.  Now, whenever I'm doing a duchy rush, I think of this song...

[Anders Gabrielsson]

I've had idle thoughts of matching a song to every Dominion card, but then I wake up and do something constructive with my time. Like building a chicken factory in Minecraft.

Anyway, these are some of the song connections I remember right now.

Chapel - Chapel of Love, The Dixie Cups
Harem - Woman and Gold, Spooky Tooth, or Harem in the Leningrad Cowboys version
Mine - Diamonds in the Mine, Leonard Cohen (because, y'know, there really are no diamonds in the Mine); but also Gimli's bit about Moria from the first LotR movie ("And they call it a mine! A mine!")
Torturer - The Torture Never Stops, Frank Zappa
Taxman - Taxman, The Beatles
Cultist - Oops, I Did It Again, Britney Spears, though this shows up with a fair number of attack cards
City - I Am the City, ABBA
Witch - I Put a Spell On You, Screamin' Jay Hawkins
Bridge - Bridge Over Troubled Waters, Simon and Garfunkel

+1 for Gimli. I honestly had to laugh imagining somebody play Mine and say that.

[gman314]

My friends and I say that almost every time that Mine's in the game.

[Awaclus]

Poor House

Actually, it was originally the reverse: this song put Poor House in my mind, but now it's working both ways.

[Awaclus]

And now this happens with Highway.

[sudgy]

Tunnel always makes me think of Secret Tunnel, even though I haven't gotten to that point in the show yet.

[markusin]

Just noticed this thread now.

Rabble Rabble:



Also:

Won't you take me to Shanty Town?

[pedroluchini]

Guess what card.

It's Mint.

[Elanchana]

Masquerade, for obvious reasons (huge Phantom phan over here)

Oasis tends to get a random Oasis song stuck in my head

Harem leads to the Sarah Brightman song

City, Sara Bareilles (or possibly the "I'm going leaving this city" line from Oasis's Go Let It Out)

and finally, cards like Mountebank always make my brain go "whatchu gon' do wid all dat junk"

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

Masquerade always takes me to the George Benson hit, especially with the opening lyric "are we really happy here with this lonely game we play".

[Amac]

Tribute: Tribute - Tenacious D
Masquerade: The Day Before You Came - Placebo
Bridge: Bridge over Troubled Water - Simon and Garfunkel
Highway: Life is a Highway - Tom Cochrane

The most obvious ones for me.

[Lekkit]

Masquerade makes me think of Masquerade from Phantom of the Opera (oftentimes sung out with the Swedish lyrics) and Pearl Diver makes me think of Sledgehammer with Peter Gabriel. Instead of Sledgehammer it's Pearl Diver.

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

...Instead of Sledgehammer it's Pearl Diver.

I lekkit.

[Elanchana]

Oh, how could I have forgotten Wandering Minstrel?

[Awaclus]

Are Dominion Events fine too?

[Qvist]

So often the optimal number of Heroes you want to get is 1 which you exchange into a Champion and you want to keep the Warriors for the draw. This means the right thing to sing when MFs Exchange Screen pops up is: "We don't need another Hero."

[Elanchana]

Eurovision this year gave us the glorious Lighthouse song

[J Reggie]

In games with lots of Gold-gaining, my friend and I often sing Gold by Imagine Dragons.

[Accatitippi]

This thread is great.
I always sing the soundtrack of Pirates of the Caribbean whenever I go for Pirate Ship (which is not often).
Also, Age of Empires' soundtrack when I play a Militia.

And I can already see myself singing the Carmina Burana whenever I play Fortune.

[A Drowned Kernel]

Whenever I buy Triumph.

[markusin]

Survivors always makes me think of Survivor from Destiny's Child.

[Burning Skull]

Rick Astley - Horn of Plenty megaturn

[Accatitippi]

Yesterday, my brain came up with this quite unexpected connection:

[ehunt]

Hello, I've waited here for you.... overlord...

[UmbrageOfSnow]

The weirdest and actually strongest association for me is Lookout -> "Peaches" by the Presidents of the United States of America

[ehunt]

don't be fooled by the Rocks that i got....

[madeofghosts]

Has it been observed that Masquerade can cause you to quite literally Pass The Duchy On The Left Hand Side?

[ehunt]

coin of the realm ---> king of the road

[Watno]

[Awaclus]

[ehunt]

devil's workshop ---> devil's haircut

[ehunt]

my name is Pooka... I live on the second floor...

[popsofctown]

LIFE IS A HIGHWAY, I'M GONNA RIDE IT ALL NIGHT LONG: THAT IS, HIGHWAY'S EFFECT PERSISTS UNTIL DEVIL'S WORKSHOP'S EFFECT, ALLOWING ME TO GAIN ANOTHER HIGHWAY, IN THE NIGHT!!!!!!!

[Chappy7]

Now that fool is a thing I sing fool on the hill by the Beatles and fool in the rain by led Zeppelin and Foolin' by Def Leppard a lot.

[jonaskoelker]

Oh, how could I have forgotten Wandering Minstrel?

And here I was expecting Sir Robin's minstrels from Monty Python and the Holy Grail [1].

So often the optimal number of Heroes you want to get is 1 which you exchange into a Champion and you want to keep the Warriors for the draw. This means the right thing to sing when MFs Exchange Screen pops up is: "We don't need another Hero."

... and for those exceptional times: Bonnie Tyler — I need a Hero [2].

In games with lots of Gold-gaining, my friend and I often sing Gold by Imagine Dragons.

When I was 80% of the way through that sentence, I expected it to end with "by Spandau Ballet" [3].


Some of my favorites are:

Masquerade: Rainbow — Black Masquerade [4]
Throne Room: John Williams — Throne Room [5]

[spineflu]

[scolapasta]

Coincidentally, I heard this on the radio today for the first time in a long time:

[J Reggie]

Gonna be singing this a bunch

[silverspawn]

I see this thread all the time, but Menagerie was the first expansion where a card actually reminds me of a song.

[ConMan]

Just going to play my Fool, and now ...

[ehunt]

falconer puts this ancient web junk in my head becuase of the way they sing MOUNTAINEER at the climax

[teamlyle]

Every time I gain or play an Abandoned Mine, I'm like "so we Abandoned Mine, got our pickaxe swinging from side to side, side side to side..."

[ehunt]

Hunter -- "hoooowww scandinavian of me"

[Awaclus]
