Only two song leaks so far, right? Now, for a couple song rumors...

[Magnet]

I think the only leaks we've seen at the forums so far were Foreplay/Long Time and Next To You from the pre-order box, but those are practically unpreventable unless you want to announce all of the songs on the box ahead of time.

Warning: everything that follows should be considered rumor.

Rumor that I believe is very reliable...

One other leak I've personally come across was from a guy who knew about the previously unannounced "Green Grass and High Tides" and one currently unannounced bonus track. I wouldn't break any NDAs or anything by posting the bonus track, but I'll play it safe and just give a hint because leaks are usually uncool and less satisfying ways of getting this information. I don't want to take anything away from when it does get announced officially (and I think it will, since the "Green Grass and High Tides" half turned out to be reliable), especially since I have no proof. It's taken from an animated comedy TV show. And I don't think it's immediately obvious which show it is.

Update... since apparently IGN is announcing everything on Friday anyway, I'll post what show the song is from tomorrow (probably around 3:30pm EST - if you really need to know when). I will say that no guesses on the first page are right.

Update 2... the show is South Park and the song is Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld. Kudos to Edgehopper for being the first to guess it!

I have no idea of this rumor's reliability...

The other thing in the vein of song info. (this one has no connection to what was posted above) was an e-mail someone sent to Made in Mexico. I'm not sure if this has been posted on these forums before, and I have no idea how reliable it is (I found this e-mail posted on another forum so I can't know if it's completely real). It suggests that while MiM will not be in the retail disc (I'll pause for the cheering), their entire new album coming out around January is planned as DLC content (I'll pause for the three people in the back row cheering excessively).

Well, confidentially, [REMOVED]. So we won't be in it. In reality, we are a band and we like to play, we never wanted to really be anything other than a band that plays clubs and puts out CDs or records etc. We have a whole new album's worth of some interesting music it is really a mix of some latin stuff and the regular ole whacky stuff we do. I think it will be out in about January and we hope you like it. The only way to play our music on Rock Band would be to download it on x-box and when the album comes out you could do that for any song. This game will revolutionize video games in general and we hope you love that too.

thanks for writing and take care,

~ j + MiM

Note: Real or not, I felt it necessary to cut most of the first sentence out from the e-mail because it says "confidentially," and I don't think it's fair to MiM to leave it in. But that removed line basically says the gist of why they're not in Rock Band. I think most people can figure out why without any confidentiality being breached. You're all a pretty smart bunch.

How about I guess, and if I'm right you tell me I am, and if I'm wrong, you tell me the right answer?

My guess: the Animaniacs theme song.

[Vigorousjammer]

who is this MiM you speak of?
oh, and my guess is either: Puffi Ami Yumi... orrrr... Viva' Pinata

[Bakkster]

How about I guess, and if I'm right you tell me I am, and if I'm wrong, you tell me the right answer?

Nope, guarantee it's more Dethklock.

[Tendoza]

"Happy Happy Joy Joy" - Ren and Stimpy

I win.

[Jimmik]

$5 bucks on Killer Tofu ;)

[G_tarRoCK3R]

who is this MiM you speak of?
oh, and my guess is either: Puffi Ami Yumi... orrrr... Viva' Pinata

I believe MiM is "Made in Mexico" Song on GHII was Yes We can......


$5 bucks on Killer Tofu ;)

Killer Tofu would be awesome, as well as bangin' on a trash can!!! haha or Shout your gums out :p

[blue_dragonzero]

$10 Linoleum Knife by Mastodon or Go into the Water by Dethklok.

[KingofQUEEN48]

nooooooooooo made in mexico blows

[Electric_Zen]

leaks are usually uncool and less satisfying ways of getting this information.

You've been getting some very bad information on the street. Leaks are cool, and an extremely satisfying way of getting information. What's the song?

[Simonious]

nooooooooooo made in mexico blows

No, Yes We Can blows. Made in Mexico, in fact, does not blow.

[galluch1215]

King of the Hill Theme is my guess if it's true

[deathstick]

Go into the Water by Dethklok.


I hope so!!

[ImUrDaddy]

Anything else from homestarrunner.com? I love strongbad and I have trogdor onesies for my kids.

(No-one beats the burninator!)

[Magnet]

Okay, I updated the first post to let everyone know that I'll post what show it's from tomorrow. I wonder if anyone will be able to guess beforehand. The show is not unpopular by any means.

[G_tarRoCK3R]

Okay, I updated the first post to let everyone know that I'll post what show it's from tomorrow. I wonder if anyone will be able to guess beforehand. The show is not unpopular by any means.

Is it a theme song? or is it just a song played on a show?


Fresh prince... Ftw?

Thats not animated lol

[foolosophy]

Class of 3000? I would say Pokemon because it's pretty instrument driven for a theme song but it's not a comedy. Power Rangers would be sweet but it's not a cartoon.

[Jp7588]

Is it a theme song? or is it just a song played on a show?



Thats not animated lol

FOR THE LOSS!

[Symphonite]

Is it Italian Leather Sofa by Cake? It was used as the theme song to the (very awesome and underrated) cartoon Mission Hill. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u8QL-aAYTg is the song.

[logicalnoise]

my guesses/requests for the animated theme:

Theme from Jem(cover by freezepop:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=guTbj91zoh0

M.A.S.K.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=M0BzBFWt8V8

DENVER the last dinosaur
http://youtube.com/watch?v=EH7UfKmXRUQ

South park:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=qZ0Kn6O3v7s

more to come

[icantwaitforrockband]

south park, jem, or king of the hill would all be cool, but me thinks there's no vox in king of the hill...?

[toefer]

$5 bucks on Killer Tofu ;)

Adding in The Beets would solidify this as the best game ever.

[admanimal]

I would guess the Green Day version of the Simpsons theme song but there are no vocals...

[Magnet]

A few more things and that's it...

The show's name has been guessed in the topic already. It's not the show's theme song. It's a fictitious band from the show. Tomorrow I'll put up all that I know about the song. Kudos to anyone who can piece together the show and artist before I update the topic with it tomorrow.

[progROCKER]

shows listed in forum so far
simpsons (more likely)
deathklok (more likely)
ren and stimpy (doubt it)
fresh prince of bel air (doubt it)

let me guess
the boy band from the simpsons

either the song
drop the bomb
or special girl

[Eman311]

guessing would be pointless.

[progROCKER]

guessing would be pointless.

not really, he mentioned that the show that the fictitious band is in has already been named in the forum. This narrows it down to 5 if you want to count Doug, which did not really get mentioned, just the beets.

think about how many fictitious bands are in each of those shows and you will realize how narrowed down it gets.

[Eman311]

Every band known to man has probably been mentiond here.

[toefer]

Every band known to man has probably been mentiond here.

All bands are not cartoons, so no. We've got it narrowed down quite a bit. Don't be a pessimist (though if you were a Red Sox fan before 2004, or even 2003, this may be part of your nature). Enjoy the fun of guessing a song that may not even actually be in the game.

[Eman311]

I'm not trying to be a pessimist, look at this thread alone mayb e20 band have been suggested? Trust me, i'm just like everyone else in hopinh it's killer tofu :)

[Tendoza]

Simpsons
- The Garbage Man Can
- Canyonaroe! (I can only wish...)
- You'll Never Stop the Simpsons
- Talkin Softball
- Baby on Board
- See My Vest

Thats for the simpsons...

[toefer]

i'm just like everyone else in hopinh it's killer tofu :)

Score one more for the good guys. I hope HMX sees this, and if its not in the game, that they do something about it asap.

[admanimal]

Hasn't south park (also mentioned in this thread) had a bunch of fake bands in it too?

[BobLoblaw]

No Made in Mexico on the disc? That sucks, but if their new album is as good as Zodiac Zoo is, I guess having the entire thing as DLC is even better than having a single song in the game.

As got the song from a cartoon, I hope it's Goofy Goober Rock.

[Young_Nastyman]

Go into the Water by Dethklok.

Die for Dethklok!!! MURDERFACE!!!!!!!!!

[Edgehopper]

Going through the episode list, South Park candidates include:

Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld (most likely, and awesome)
Fingerbang (not likely given the genre)
Something by Christ+1 (unlikely given the instrument setup, particularly the lack of guitar and prevalence of piano)
The Getting *** With Kids song (unlikely based on instrument setup)
My Country 'Tis of Thee (Nearly impossible, but a great episode)
People Now (From the "Smug Alert" episode; unlikely, but it's got vocals and guitar. Not really by a band, though)

Other South Park songs generally aren't by fictitious in-show bands (i.e., most of the South Park Movie songs)

From the Simpsons--seems unlikely; there haven't been that many songs by fictitious bands on the show. Lots of songs, but I can't think of any sung by in-show rock bands; the B-Sharps come closest as a barbershop quartet.

From Family Guy (though it wasn't mentioned, this would be awesome): Evil, Evil Monkey. If we can't get it as a bonus, it'd be a great DLC.

Also, South Park seems a little more likely from the licensing side, since both Comedy Central and MTV are part of Viacom while Cartoon Network and Fox aren't.

So, my final guess is Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld, singing Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld

[Tendoza]

It isn't something by Big Mountain Fudge Cake?

[Jimmik]

Now I feel cool for suggesting Killer Tofu, haha I have faith in Harmonix to be able to snag the elusive "The Beets" license

[Rock_Starman]

Come on Feel the Lord by Pious Riot

[Edgehopper]

Come on Feel the Lord by Pious Riot

Technically, not a fictitious band, but just a renamed Quiet Riot. Wouldn't count :)

[ZkDotNet]

Based on the rumors I'm going with Dethklok.

[WiredRacing]

Yeah.. probably Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld.

I was hoping for fingerbang though. :) Best... Lyrics... Ever! That said, shouting.. "TIMMAAAAHHH" into the mic would be solid gold.

Course it could be some DVDA.. like What would Brian Boitano do (the metal version).. which would actually be an excellent track to play.

[Keebler]

I'm gonna pray we get The Beets. C'mon, look at this list of hits we get to choose from:

-Killer Tofu
-Where's My Sock?
-Mo' Allowance
-Shout Ya' Lungs Out
-Absolutely Nothing Man

I would absolutely flip a **** if we get them. I think I would dance around like a madman in public....

[ThePaska]

If The Beets were in Rock Band, I would be so surprised and so excited for this game. That would be simply amazing, I don't think they could pick a better band than that to be in the game. Now I have my hopes high for this animated band, it better be The Beets!

[chaopolis]

Aaaa-eeeee-oooooo..... Killer tofuuuuu!

[Bakkster]

Assuming the "It's already been mentioned" includes the setlist discussion, it could also be the Gorillaz.

Personally, I'm hoping for Dethklock and Underwater Friends :p

[Nilsen31]

Green Grass & High Tides would instantly become the best song in the game if it were to be in the game.


I suggested it months ago...

simply awesome song.



Not that I'm gaga over the fact and that I know believe it's in the game.


But I will always be hoping :)

[Nilsen31]

LOL

The Beets

I have all their "hits" in my iTunes :D

[bounchfx]

holy crap!

The beets!

them or any simpsons song would totally freaking RULE. Can't wait to hear the whole setlist.

[admanimal]

Also, South Park seems a little more likely from the licensing side, since both Comedy Central and MTV are part of Viacom while Cartoon Network and Fox aren't.



Good point...I'd say it's something from South Park for sure then.

[CableCarrier]

I hope it's more Dethklok. I mean, it's just a natural fit.

Hey, what if it's that one song from Transformers: the Movie?

[BobLoblaw]

For those getting all exicted for The Beets or Dethklok:

Update... since apparently IGN is announcing everything on Friday anyway, I'll post what show the song is from tomorrow (probably around 3:30pm EST - if you really need to know when). I will say that no guesses on the first page are right.

And since they were both guessed on the first page, that rules them out.

[Rook_x51]

Are we still believing this? Really?

I mean, believing someone who said they saw some songs on a box is one thing, but this is just plain silly.

Oh by the way, I have a credible source that says that Britney Spear's new album will be DLC shortly after launch! Really!

[Electric_Zen]

I think Magnet is credible.

Maybe South Park's "Montage"?

[bmore007]

Oh by the way, I have a credible source that says that Britney Spear's new album will be DLC shortly after launch! Really!

O M G REALLY!??! I can't wait, I need this game right now.

[Rook_x51]

I think Magnet is credible.

Maybe South Park's "Montage"?

That's fine, but it's not Magnet's credibility I'm directing that toward. It's the credibility of the person who is saying they have a credible source. One more layer down :P

[Edgehopper]

I think Magnet is credible.

Maybe South Park's "Montage"?

Again, not a fictitious in-show band. Good song, though. My money's still on Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld. Best vocal part ever!

[parastroke7]

Why doesn't Magnet just come in here and tell us already? Damn. I want it to be "Cut you up with a linoleum knife" by Mastodon ( from the Aqua Teen Movie).

[espher]

I would like to submit my guess.

Edit: Other, lesser picks, would be something from Alvin and the Chipmunks (lolol) or possibly Josie and the Pussycats.

[toefer]

Oh by the way, I have a credible source that says that Britney Spear's new album will be DLC shortly after launch! Really!

YES! Gimme more!



Also, South Park seems a little more likely from the licensing side, since both Comedy Central and MTV are part of Viacom while Cartoon Network and Fox aren't.


True, but Nickelodeon is part of Viacom as well, so that wouldn't rule out The Beets. I think Magnet's statement that none of the bands on the first page are right rules them out though.

Also, I know that Disney bought Jumbo Pictures (the company that made Doug) and made a new show out of it (Brand Spankin' New Doug), but Nickelodeon still retains the rights to the original show, and the episodes featuring The Beets are all earlier on, including the one where Doug and Skeeter go to a Beets concert, in season one.

[parastroke7]

I don't think it's the Beets. I hope it's not, anyway. There's something so much better they could put in RB.

[LongDarkBlues]

The Ramones do a great cover of the old Spider-Man cartoon theme, but it seems unlikely they'd be on there twice. Then again, Deep Purple was in GHII twice, so who knows.

[BobLoblaw]

True, but Nickelodeon is part of Viacom as well, so that wouldn't rule out The Beets. I think Magnet's statement that none of the bands on the first page are right rules them out though.

Spongebob is also on Nickelodeon so, that means Goofy Goober Rock has a decent shot, too. :D

[parastroke7]

The Ramones do a great cover of the old Spider-Man cartoon theme, but it seems unlikely they'd be on there twice. Then again, Deep Purple was in GHII twice, so who knows.

Deep purple was in GH II twice? Deep purple was in GH II ONCE? Deep purple was in GH II at all? I didn't know this.

What songs?

[ToradtheIdiot]

Deep purple was in GH II twice? Deep purple was in GH II ONCE? Deep purple was in GH II at all? I didn't know this.

What songs?

Hush was in the 360 version. I have no idea what other song he thinks is by Deep Purple, though.

[BobLoblaw]

Deep purple was in GH II twice? Deep purple was in GH II ONCE? Deep purple was in GH II at all? I didn't know this.

What songs? Hush was in GHII on the 360, and Smoke on the Water was available as DLC, I think. Maybe he thought Smoke on the Water was actually in the game or something.

[LongDarkBlues]

I know it was DLC, I'm just saying twice - Hush and Smoke on the Water, dur.

[parastroke7]

hah, dur yourself.

but I guess I'm dumb for not recognizing hush as being Deep Purple. I wasn't counting DLC, however.

[Bakkster]

I wasn't counting DLC, however.

Exactly.

OMG, the Who is in Rock Band 10 times! :eek:

[LongDarkBlues]

you people are idiots. :confused:

[Magnet]

Congratulations to Edgehopper for being the first to guess it! It's Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld from South Park.

To everyone doubting the credibility of this, that's fine. I don't blame you, I probably would too. The reason I think the source is probably correct about this though is because I knew about Green Grass and High Tides a couple weeks ago, long before it was announced. I don't really watch South Park, so I'm not just making this whole thing up out of thin air. I haven't even heard the song before.

I made sure to make it clear that everything was in a "rumor" status in the first post, so I'm not asking anyone to take this officially by any means. But if it happens to come true, at least you'll know about it before everyone else.

To everyone that has heard the song before, how is it?

[Jp7588]

Behold my awesome powers of deduction!

I hope you're right, though presumably the singer will have to do more than just shout "Timmy!" at random times. Probably has to cover the chorus background vocals. I'd also bet that they extended the song to a more full edition, a little like they did for Trogdor.

If correct, this is the best news of my day :)

[masterx1918]

there is NO chance in hell that Timmy and the lords of the underworld are in rock band. I mean ZERO chance what so ever.

[xenopherus]

nooooooooooo made in mexico blows

AMEN!! They blow alright! They blow bigtime! And that South Park song? That'd be a nightmare if it's true that song is in the game! They should be concentrating more on getting songs by bands people want to play and not jokey stupid novelty songs. If they wanted to do it right, they'd get some Red Peters on there, or even Weird Al.

[Bakkster]

Way too "politically incorrect" for harmonix. I doubt parents will want there kids pretending to be ******ed for the vocals...

We've already got kids pretending to be coke addicts (Cobain and Courtney Love, for example), I doubt that screaming "Timmy" would push this past a T rating.

Seems plausible, but kinda underwhelming...

[toefer]

Way too "politically incorrect" for harmonix. I doubt parents will want there kids pretending to be ******ed for the vocals...

I agree. The content of the lyrics is one thing, and I think parents can let that sort of thing slide, especially if its not as blunt. But mimicking a ******ed person might cross the line for most parents, and I'm not even sure I would enjoy pretending to sing it. It just seems...weird.

Also I agree with masterx, that I doubt it's in the game.

seriously though, worst thread ever.

Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love were addicted to heroin. Not to mention you aren't giving yourself shots of heroin. Just songs with a lot of distortion and unclear lyrics. I hate that Hole song though... (or rather Hole in general)

[Spear_of_Destiny]

yeah if they wanted grrrl power music they coulda done Liz Phair's "Supernova" or Veruca Salt's "Seether" though i prefer the former.

You know what would be great? If we were all wrong and it was Killer Tofu by The Beets. :D Just because it's not the song he heard a rumour about, it doesn't mean it won't be in the game. There's room for more than one novelty song from a TV show.

[Kylekillgannon]

$10 Linoleum Knife by Mastodon or Go into the Water by Dethklok.

Go into the Water would be the greatest intro to a concert EVER
