unfitting music in doom

[demonstein4d]

everyone likes putting the music in doom that gets their adreniline pumping. but have you ever thought of putting music in doom that sticks out? for example, i put long time by boston, no froeplay intro, and it sounded great! march of the pigs still owns though. go ahead and try it

This is a track that NEEDS to be put into a Hell Revealed Style map.

:P I only discovered this track after playing the Sega megadrive ultimate collection. Soon as I heard it I said " OMG this would be awesome with Doom " lol

[Devalaous]

What track is that? I cant seem to play it.

As for unfitting music...Pokemon music!

EDIT: It worked perfectly fine, Windows was just being a bitch. Clearly the only level that will work on is...a chemical plant!

[Super Jamie]

People always bitch when someone uses this track in a map.

Personally, I think it sounds great.

Play E1M8 on /fast and play the Benny Hill theme. Gets me every time.

[arrrgh]

I made a wad which replaced E1M8's music with the Hammer Bros. music from SMB3.

[Cybershark]

Oooh Christ yes!

Some people have no clue how to score maps and just rip tunes they thought sounded cool in somebody else's. I've heard tunes from Void used in totally ill-fitting environments before. Also an incredibly frequent offender is the tune that's in the first map of hc092604 (Hellcore). I would love to know what that song is though...

The most stunning recent example that comes to mind is some server host on Zdaemon was throwing a bunch of shitty R&B mp3s into WADs and making them mandatory downloads to join the server. Not only were these music packs the worst thing in the world to Doom to but each compliation was 25-50meg too.

Heh - most classical music. Try using the Blue Danube Waltz in anything but a jokewad.

Assorted offspring mp3's put in a wad just because the creator knows how to.

It was OK though, he made a standard Zdoom side-opening door and all his friends congratulated him on being the "ultimate doom hacker" because he "hacked the engine" to make a door open sideways, which had "never been done before".

Haha, that reminds me of a dude on NewDoom many many years ago who claimed that he had gotten Doomsday to play Wolf3D maps but wouldn't provide any proof of the claim.

He also said that John Romero was the sole concept creator for Doom, and that it was inspired by Dawn of the Dead and only stated "I have my sorceces" [sic] to support the claim. I linked to and quoted the interview from the 10 Years of Doom page here, where Romero explains about how the original plan was an Aliens game and then they decided to do something else for more creative freedom; so then he claimed that Romero still came up with the idea, where it says very clearly in that interview that Carmack was the one that suggested the hell theme...

Gotta love idiots on the internet that pretend to know more than they do.

I am guilty of this

There is a wad with the Beatles midis.

I'd have thought given its history it'd work quite well if you had something that looked like this:

I made side-opening doors online on Zdaemon (which actually IS an achievement)!

If I remember rightly, it was used for the (very violent) super secret level in STRAIN.
Mind you, some 20th century classical music is pretty stirring stuff - like Stravinsky's Rite of Spring (ignore the theatrics and skip to 3:30) or Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta.

MAP01 of the first 32in24 had a beatles track I think right? I don't know any beatles songs off hand but the tune definitely sounded like something I've heard before. Pretty sure it is beatles.

[wildweasel]

Trying to remember which WAD it was that had "Who's Johnny" as one of the songs...

I lol'ed just reading this.

[wildweasel]

In retrospect, the most ridiculous song I ever heard in a Doom WAD was "It's Raining Men" in Beta: One Nerd And His Doom.

...Whatever happened to Hyena, anyway? I wanted to see more of those.

Yeah, can't remember which tune offhand though. That WAD also has Britney Spears' Toxic on one map ;>

Nope - it's Light My Fire from Jim Morrison and The Doors.

he's referring to deathz0r's maps in 32in24 ctf which all had beatles songs in them

[GreyGhost]

Heh - would have helped if I looked at the right wads.

32in24-3 Map06 - I Wanna Hold Your Hand
32in24-3 Map17 - Lady Madonna
32in24-4 Map08 - Daydreamer

Plus one other in 32in24-3 that I can't place right now.
