Notes

Offers five songs, each with a different passive effect, active effect, and unique consumable item that drops at the end of every 11th victorious turn-taking combat (free fights do not increment this counter).

• This counter is reset to 9/11 at the start of each day and upon ascension, resulting in a drop on the 2nd victorious turn-taking combat.

While a song is playing, grants the combat skill Sing Along (0 MP), usable once per combat, which has a different effect depending on the current song.

Song setting can be changed up to 11 times per day, and does not reset at Rollover. It does, however, reset to none upon Ascension.

  • Sing Along: Drains HP and MP by 5% of maximum HP and gives +2-3 substats after combat
  • Nightmare Fuel: Size-1 spleen item. Grants one "charge" expended either to give one free rest at your Campground or to cleanse two additional points of evil when defeating a monster in the Undefile the Cyrpt Quest.
• Food Vibrations: +30% Food Drops, 3-5 MP Regeneration per Adventure
  • Sing Along: The next spell cast deals damage as if you had 80% more Bonus Spell Damage (only counting flat, non-elemental bonuses)

The item description previously contained a greengrocers' apostrophe which CDMoyer noticed and fixed during the recording of the 16th of January Podcast of Loathing.

Messages

After combat, with a song playing, the following message appears:

	You catch a line from the song playing on your SongBoom™ BoomBox: "<Line from the currently playing song>"

The chosen line increments after each turn spent (so free fights repeat the same line and non-combats cause you to skip lines). The lyrics for each of the songs are:

• Eye of the Giger:

Risin' up, tent-acles and feet

Creepy time, strikes my fancy

Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet

Just a man and his will to unnerve

So many times, it happens too fast

You trade your passion for gory

Don't lose your grip on nightmates of the past

You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the giger, it's the thrill of the fright

Risin' up to the challenge of our rival

And the last known survivor watches on with a fright

And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the Giger

Face to face, with alien feet

Lookin' tough, lookin' scary

They stack the veins 'till you're scared off your feet.

For the kill with the skill to survive

It's the eye of the Giger, it's the dream full of fright

Risin' up to the challenge of bizzare, oh!

And the last known survivor watches on with a fright

And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the Giger

The eye of the Giger

The eye of the Giger

The eye of the Giger

The eye of the Giger

• Food Vibrations:

I, I love the flavorful food they makes,

And the way the terroir plays upon the taste,

I hear the sound of a gentle chew,

On the wind that lifts aroma through the air.

I'm pickin' up food vibrations

It's giving me excitations

I'm pickin' up food vibrations (Oom bop, bop, food vibrations)

Food's giving me excitations(Oom bop, bop, excitations)

Food food food food vibrations (Oom bop, bop)

She's giving me excitations(Oom bop, bop, excitations)

Food food food food vibrations (Oom bop, bop)

It's giving me excitations (Oom bop, bop, excitations)

Close my eyes

It's somehow closer now

Gently sniff, I know it must be good

When I look in the pot

It takes me to a flavor world

I'm pickin' up food vibrations (Oom bop, bop, food vibrations)

Food's giving me excitations(Oom bop, bop, excitations)

Food food food food vibrations (Oom bop, bop)

She's giving me excitations(Oom bop, bop, excitations)

Food food food food vibrations (Oom bop, bop)

It's giving me excitations (Oom bop, bop, excitations)

• Remainin' Alive:

Well you can tell by the way I hold my shield

I'm an armored man, ain't gonna yield.

Skin is soft, but metal's hard

and you ain't gettin' past my guard.

And now I'm alright, I'm okay,

you won't damage me today

I won't dodge, no sleight of hand

there's no attack I can't withstand.

Hit me with a truncheon, you won't get a single punch in.

I'm remainin' alive, remainin' alive,

Fire that ballista, I ain't worried mister

I'm remainin' alive, remainin' alive!

• These Fists Were Made for Punchin':

You keep fightin' when you oughta be runnin'

think I'm easy prey 'cause I'm unarmed,

but I'm holdin' two tickets to the gun show

phone Webster 'cause I'm redefining harm!

These fists were made for punchin'

and that's be all she wrote

we'll see how nice you smile with your teeth knocked down your throat.

You keep tryin' to deplete my hit points

with knives and swords and spells and all the rest

But on my turn, I'm gonna show you somethin'

And if you're still conscious, I'll be quite impressed

These fists were made for punchin'

and that's what's taking place,

right about now these fists are gonna punch you in the face.

• Total Eclipse of Your Meat:

Turnaround, every now and then I find a little bit of meat

And you're never coming round

Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit richer

From listening to the sound of my meat

Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit more meat

And the best of all the meat is for me

Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit greedy

And then I see the meat in your pants

Turnaround meat eyes, but every now and then I take your meat

Turnaround meat eyes, every now and then I get some meat

And I need your meat tonight

And I need meat more than ever

And if you only hold it tight

You'll be holding on forever

And I won't be making interest

'Cause we'll never be rich together

We can take it to the end of the line

Your meat is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)

I don't know what to do and I'm always in the red

We're living in a bull market and giving off stacks

I really need your meat now

Your meat's gonna start a fight

Your meat's gonna start a fight
