AdmiralZ Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 How come TEW2008 doesn't have a theme song like it's predecessors? Come to think of it, WMMA didn't have a theme tune either. As The Hurricane might say, whatsupwitdat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D16NJD16 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I still remember the DOTT theme, and the one TEW that featured music in like every section of the game, like during booking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually turned it off, along with that "beep" sound that accompanied anything you did in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comradebot Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I didn't turn it off, but I did typically skip past it pretty quick. It was the damn beeping that I couldn't stand. Nothing like hearing the same obnoxious sound each and every time I wanted to do ANYTHING in 07. Good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigas Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 There was a beeping sound in 07? I dont remember that at all. I remember the annoying ass "theme" song that would only start playing on the initial screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/QUOTE] Same here but there were times I would stop and listen to it. Probably not often enough for it to be worth Adam's time in having one this year though. Definitely noticed it was missing but don't necessarily miss it as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D16NJD16 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 **** someone remind me how "Stalker" the TEW 05 theme music went? I believe there were words, and it was stuck in my head years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You can feel my love around If you would just please give me a chance Then we would set the world alight All I am asking is just one chance You can build the highest walls But I will leap in a single bound No matter where you stay or go I will always be around" Now it's going to be stuck in my head . . .

Tattoo was better in WreSpi. HLF FTW, too bad I think I read they kinda disbanded. I dont care whatcha say, your a liar anyway. I dont care what you do I will break you in two. I dont care who you are because Im a f'in superstar. Maybe thats the reason, he didnt want TEW to be rated T for Adult Language or Adult Situations with Stalker?

[/QUOTE] I think it's pretty creepy right from the beginning. The first verse talks about carrying on shouted (and presumably one-sided) conversations with billboard advertisements, cutting out and hoarding pictures from magazines, and "carving your name into the flesh of my heart." But yeah, it definitely does escalate even further from there. Crap, it's definitely stuck in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praguepride Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I loved stalker, actually copied the .mp3 to my winamp play list. "Well I see your face, it's everywhere that I go Your glittering eyes shine like the sun on the snow I stretch my hand but you're too far away I shout out loud so you might hear what I say I save your pictures from the magazines I picture myself with you in the movie scenes I send you flowers of my favorite sort I carve your name into the flesh or my heart" (chorus) "You can feel my love around If you would just please give me a chance Then we would set the world alight All I am asking is just one chance You can build the highest walls But I will leap in a single bound No matter where you stay or go I will always be around" ...love that song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonmack Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Yeah, I liked the one from '05 , pretty much ignored the one from '07, noticed there wasn't one in '08, but then don't think it is that important to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappyboy Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I think something that would have helped with the theme song is if it could have kept playing after you clicked into something. Folks just don't stay on title pages long enough for it a theme song to have much meaning there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuelFan0102 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 is there even an option to add a song if you want? I know you could change the songs in the past, so since there isnt a song included this time, I was hoping there would be an ability to add our own songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I remember Adam noting when 07 was coming out that they had broken up and the song for that game was by the new band his primary HLF contact had joined up with.
