This makes me think of Breath of the Wild. There’s a “song” (i.e. subtitles in front of accordion music) that a bard will play for you if you ask him to. It commemorates the battle against Ganon that happened ages ago. And it’s *abysmal*. The “lyrics” are something a grade school kid might come up with.
The alt text made me abruptly realize that Payet Best is named after Pete Best, as in ‘Best of the Beatles’, and I’m disappointed in myself for never realizing this.
Can I just admit I want this in Audio form? Because I’ve always mentally associated Penk with a Van Canto/Heavy Metal sort of sound and Payet Best- Well he started off Pop, when he was .Wav I was getting a Daft Punk sort of feel (With the Helm I get that was the intention) now I’m sort of getting… Folk rock? Like Simon and Garfunkel? HELP TOO MANY GENRES IN ONE MAN. D8
It was said that it was meant to be evocative of queen’s big hits so you could listen to some of them to get an idea of what this is supposed to be like.
Please writer please, I keep trying the song
But my HEAD keeps getting it wrong
Tell me please writer please
I’m down on my knees
How does the tune get along?
Now you know what would have happened if the beatles went to war.
…
It probably would not have happened at all.
Because of all the singing and dancing.
What’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down!
Something’s happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s an elf with a guitar over there
Telling Gastonia’s got to beware
It’s time we stop now
What’s that sound?
Everybody look its going down!
I hope it sings better than it reads…
Feels like something in the vein of We are the Champions for musical tone.
I was getting more of a Helter Skelter vibe.
Or maybe… TROGDOR!
I love Freddy Best so much.
Every time I look at New Best I see Freddy Mercury too.
In erfworld this would be signmancy
Erfworld has a weird way of categorising all sorts of things one never had the inclination to categorise before… like an alternative TVTropes.
Q: What did the Dead Head say when he came down off the acid?
A: This band sucks.
Could this music be classified as new WAV?
postWAV
Trying to find a tune to set this to; may have to alter some of the lyrics to do so…
Maybe I’m Amazed? “Baby I’m a man, baby I’m a lonely man in the middle of something, that he doesn’t really understand…
or Bohemian? “I’m just a shit elf, no body loves me” (HE’S JUST A SHIT ELF, FROM A SHIT FAMILY, SPARE HIM HIS LIFE FROM THIS MONSTROSITY)
I’m thinking something closer to Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire.
My brain insists it’s Ludo’s ‘Battle Cry’. https://youtu.be/S1I-4RCLBB0
But the lyrics don’t quite fit.
It’s 100% We Are The Champions.
I just played that song while staring at the lyrics and trying my best, but it just doesn’t fit for me…
HA! “Trying my Best”
I’m getting a Journey vibe from it.
It is not set to an existing tune, but it is meant to be evocative of Queen’s big hits.
This war is quickly turning into a mosh pit.
Response to alt-text: how long ago did you come up with that pun/how long have you been waiting to work it in.
My guess, after Best disappeared for the last time/prior to him tearing himself out of his Cyberia avatar.
Honestly it was the Best joke I could think of after like an hour of staring at my screen.
*returns an earlier earned gold star* Better than taking it out of your own collection.
How about “Simply Best”?
Almost fits. I think there should be an extra word in the last line for the melody to fit.
Oh, I rather meant as a title for Best’s Best Of album.

I can’t tell if you’re trying to drag us or not.
Put your money where your mouth is: You’ve gotta Payet up front to be Best.
The alt text made me abruptly realize that Payet Best is named after Pete Best, as in ‘Best of the Beatles’, and I’m disappointed in myself for never realizing this.
Well, this Best also left before they became famous…
*points*
HA-ha!
;)
“Best’s popularity with fans was a source of friction, as many female fans considered him to be the band’s best-looking member.”
Not only the name, he has the ‘stache – http://www.thefamouspeople.com/profiles/pete-best-4057.php
“AND WE’LL MARCH TO THE DOORS OF OUR FOES AND LOUDLY INSIST…”
“STOP SMOKING ON THE BALCONY, YOU FUCKERS, MY WIFE HAS ASTHMA!”
WE’RE SENDING OUR LOVE DOWN THE WEEEEE~EEELL.

We already know that.
See Yellow Submarine.
(…Which I now need to rewatch.)
Me: *assumes that the last panel is very gay and that the endgame couple is Penk and Best as a traveling band*
