What's your favorite Redwall song?

[Ashleg]

There's no audiobook for Rogue Crew, is there?
I loved Jiboree's song towards the end of the book.

Ahh, I'm not the only person who skims through the songs, then! Sometimes I make myself read them, and even find them decent, but I dunno... I just have a short attention span for reading songs in books for some reason. Was the same for Tolkien's novels.

I'm really curious to hear the audio versions being posted here, though. Listening to the songs I do have the attention span for! Must have a listen through soon.

I usually just read vermin songs and otter songs and the songs that are meant after a character has died. The rest I just skim. Because we all know hares are hungry, 5,700 songs about it gets old.

[Krantor the Brutal]

I like the song: Rakkety Tam in the the book with the same title.

[The Skarzs]

Ah yes.
His name precedes him.

And welcome to the forum!

My favourite song is in Mattimeo. I still remember it, having memorized it 15 years ago, but I don't remember the scene in which it was sung or even who sang it. That's not helpful at all, but the lyrics play through my mind now and then. Back when I was little, I'd try to sing aloud every song I came across in the books.
I also have a favourite battle song but heck if I remember which book it's from. I'd know it if I saw it.

Though there's nothing sentimental or celebratory about them, I really enjoy the songs that Keyla sang in Martin the Warrior to Rose to help Brome, Martin, and Felldoh escape. They're simply hilarious.

So you were memorizing songs from novels when I was just being born................

[Maudie]

Ooh! Another one of my favorites was the one sung by the little hedgehog in Taggerung. Lemme see if I can remember it...

Oh, welcome to the feast you beast
I hope you trip and fall
I've got a fat grandpa (ha ha ha)
He'll probably eat it all!
The lark defends his feathery chest
The sun has sunk into his vest
If you don't bathe before too long
There'll be an awful pong!

[Scott McLamok]

I got so much favourite's I like otter clan war song from (high rulain) rakkety tam theme if you dare (long patrol) walla walla (rakkety tam) etc

[Ashleg]

I love the Urgan Nagru song.

[SoranMBane]

It's been a long time since I read The Long Patrol, but while I was looking through some of the Redwall audiobook songs on Youtube, I ended up falling in love with this one:

Really gets to the core of what's so appealing about Redwall.

[Granitfur]

I love the Urgan Nagru song.

Me too!

The person who said that it is what it is like to read a Redwall book was correct. I love this song.

[Sebias of Redwall]

My favorite was probably the one at the end of Marlfox. The one about how the bee stung the hare.

[Keldor]

How about The Slaughter of the Crew of the Rusty Chain, from The Bellmaker?  After all, what's not to love about a truely gruesome searat shanty?  It's only a pity the Redwallers shut Slipp and Blaggut up before they could finish.

Spoiler

Whoa, the Cap'n of the Rusty Chain,
Ain't feelin' much surprise,
'E's deadr'n a duck on the ocean floor
While the fish nibble out 'is eyes.
An' the crew of the Rusty Chain,
Ain't feelin' too much pain,
O y'can't wipe yer nose when yer 'eads chopped off,
An' they'll never see their tails again ...

O the boatswain's got a spear in 'is liver,
An' the mate's got a spear through 'is throat,
An' they're usin' the fat off an' ole searat,
To set alight to the boat.

O they carved off the lookout's ears,
An' stuffed em up 'is no–

Pearls of Lutra also had some good vermin songs.
