Combat Messages

  <name> does a little tap-dance while he sings, "by a waterfall, I'm calling you-hoo-hoo-hoo." You remind him not to go chasing waterfalls, and he winks at you.

  <name> dances while singing, "what else could I be? It's all a ball of cheese!" then he drops back into a squat, ribbits, and winks at you.

  <name> does a little soft shoe and sings, "hello, my baby, hello, my honey, hello, my ragtime gal!" Then he winks at you. It's the best song about PMS you've ever heard.

• Enthroned in the Crown of Thrones:

  <Name> sings a sad song about how hard it is to be green. Your opponent sobs and looks less willing to fight.

References

• The message "what else could I be? It's all a ball of cheese!" is a misheard lyric from Nirvana's All Apologies, with "all a ball of cheese" replacing the title.
• The message "hello, my baby, hello, my honey, hello, my ragtime gal!" is from the Arthur Collin's song "Hello! Ma Baby" (written by J. Howard and I Emerson) and is part of the cartoon One Froggy Evening.
• Ragtime is a style of music which became popular in the United States in the 1890s, usually characterized by its syncopation (or 'ragged' use) of various styles and rhythms.
• The Crown of Thrones message of singing a song about how hard it is to be green is a reference to Kermit the Frog.
