The Theme Song Request Thread

Welcome! This thread is a place where you can request your own theme song. Your theme song will be entitled your username's Theme or something similar. Note that the people responding to the requests will be submitting the tracks to Newgrounds' Audio Portal.

Newgrounds Audio Artists won't make you a theme for "free". If you are an artist, use it in your flashes and give the composer credits in your flash. If you are not an Flash Artist you could put a link in your Forum Signature recommending the composer who made your theme.

How to request a theme song:

If you are requesting a theme song give Newgrounds' audio artists some details of what you need:

1) Include in your requesting post the genre of music that you want your theme to be.

2) Specify what the theme will be used for and provide links to music/other material you want it to sound like. For example, you could provide YouTube links, DailyMotion links, a picture, or something from Newgrounds Audio Portal.

3) Specify if you want a loop or a real song. Also give an approximative length.

To the artists:

1) Make sure that you agree on a due date with the other party. If they say "take your time," that's cool, take your time. Though, if they need it by a certain date, make sure you get it done by that date! If you don't, it damages your reputation and you might not get asked to write any more themes.

2) If two or more artists want to complete the same request, just discuss over the PM system and see who could complete the request the best. But you are not forbidden to complete a request if somebody is already completing it.

3) Have fun!

Rules:

1) If someone makes you a theme song, don't upload it to Newgrounds! Only the original composer may. Doing otherwise would break the "no uploading songs you didn't make" rule.

2) Don't ask for a theme song if you don't need it and ask gently. Requesting post like that "LIEK ZOMG THEME SONG NAO!" will be ignored and the post may be deleted.

3) Provide all the information specified above. Doing so will give the composer more to work with, and therefore increase the overall quality of your theme song.

4) If one or several artist have replied to your request, try to keep your discussion over the PM system to avoid confusions.

5) This thread is like every other thread, so follow the BBS rules. Don't spam, insult people and don't say racist things... Just be mature.

Thanks to Rucklo, snayk, Rig and DarKsidE555 (ZOMG!)

Happy

Great idea man. I asked sonofkirk for a theme song a long time ago and he created a masterpiece. Of course I see it as a masterpiece because it's my theme song and everything. =P Ha, but yeah I will use this thread for sure in the future for flashes and everything. I know something that I will probably want to use it for in the near future. Anyway, if you guys want to see an example I asked for a heavy metal theme song and gave him a couple of details like I wanted a solo, a evil sound to it, etc.. It turned out very well.

Yeah, this thread is dedicated to theme songs so don't ask for a simple song for your flashes here, I'm going to create a new thread - if this one turns out well - a bit similar to this one but for general songs requests. It will avoid all these numerous threads.

Anyway, if you guys want to see an example I asked for a heavy metal theme song and gave him a couple of details like I wanted a solo, a evil sound to it, etc.. It turned out very well.

Ah yeah, I'm also pretty happy with this one. I'm making a theme for RohantheBarabarian and I hope I'll be able to finish it during Xmas holidays.

Also to everybody out there, don't fear and feel free to ask for your theme : ).

I'd like if you made my own theme song :)
I'd love it if it has a similar style of this song. I mean, calmed but at the same time thatmakes me feel full of energy, happy and relaxed. Get what I mean?

I want it as a song, around 2 to 3 mins, nothing mind blowing too, don't worry XD

I want to sonofkirk to make my theme song :)

Later fellas

Sure dude I will do it, though I'm already making a theme for another user, so I will only be able to make yours when I'm done with the other one. And also Gn'R FTW :P.

Great! Just wait for someone to ask for a theme song and take the request. I hope you won't wait too much time ;).

Ha, this guy chose the best musican to make a theme song :P. Also the preview you sent me kicks major ass. It's nice to see that the thread was the source of the idea, though the guy who requested you the theme could have made a post in the thread :P.

Thanks my big dude. When you are done with the theme you are recording, make sure to post a link on here :D.

I asked him if he didn't mind if I posted here, he was cool with it. SO the final instrumental is up. The version for his flashes will have vocals, specific to his cartoon. :D

Is linking to the creations requested, allowed in this thread? Or would you prefer the audio adverts thread?

Ah nice, you were really fast with that theme, I'm still composing a theme for a friend and I started it months ago lol. It's maybe because you made a loop and not a full-length song. By the way, that instrumental kicks ass.

I would say yes since it's totally related to the thread. It also shows how the requests are coming along and people can keep track of the done and "not done" requests. It's one thing I forgot to add in the original post :(.

Selfish? SELFISH? I post in YOUR thread showing how great YOUR work is and I'm being selfish. Are you sure that your nose hasn't gotten in the way of your eyes when you were looking at my post?

Ha, but yeah I will use this thread for sure in the future for flashes and everything. I know something that I will probably want to use it for in the near future.

I didn't really mean simple things for flashes. I meant like if someone made a character in flash and wanted that character to have a theme song that they could use in the flash.

Anyway, if you guys want to see an example I asked for a heavy metal theme song and gave him a couple of details like I wanted a solo, a evil sound to it, etc.. It turned out very well.
Ah yeah, I'm also pretty happy with this one. I'm making a theme for RohantheBarabarian and I hope I'll be able to finish it during Xmas holidays.

Make sure to PM me the link to it, but remember that I won't be able to actually listen or review it until after Xmas break because of my slow internet here at home.


Also to everybody out there, don't fear and feel free to ask for your theme : ).

Well my one friend is kind of shy, but he wanted to know if someone could make him a theme song. His name is Statwhore and we would love to have a theme song that is like this song, but of course replacing the words scat with stat and making everything else stat related also. It doesn't have to be very long, perhaps 1 minute.

Anyone interested in making this theme song?

Ha, lyrics would be interesting for me. I've never done them before, but it may be fun to do. Also, I have a nasty little audio ban and wouldn't be able to submit it anyway. D: Ha, that's what I get for not reading the rules before submitting.

I submitted a song for my friend who didn't want to make an account, but wanted to get his music out there. Me, not thinking of course, submitted it on my account and was banned for submitting some else's work.

I was young and stupid. :P Too bad all of those audio bans are permanent.

Ha great, thanks for being as fast to make your song dude, it shows other people that the thread works well :P. For myself I'm working on a theme for RohantheBarbarian and I will probably finish it during the holidays. Then I'll have to work on Pigeonmaster's one, he wants something that sounds like the Guns 'n Roses :D.

Ah, yeah that audio ban ... That sucks. Record the vocals and send the file to Bad-man and he could update the song instrumental he submitted with his alt.

Hey you already got a perma ban lifted, why not try to get this one lifted again ? ;P.

Haha, sonofkirk territory ... No fucking way! There are so many better Metal maker than me on NG :P. Though I appreciate your compliment haha.

Well, MrShadowW did not specify a due date, so you can take your time and complete the request when you have your Metal Gear back.

Also I just finished RohantheBarbarian's Theme Song, I spent a lot of time on this one and I composed it differently of my other songs, it's more a concept. He requested this theme some months ago, just after I made Corky52's Theme and I'm submitting it today: it show that you can take your time with the requests.

Yeah, I think he wants a classical song Rammstein inspired, he gave a link to one of their song. That would be interesting to see the result, really.

Hey man, thanks again for doing this, it's brilliant! I've been looking forward to hearing it ever since you sent me that snippet of a preview a month or so ago I'm delighted it turned out so well. Hopefully this thread will be a smashing success as well.
