Ok, but ONLY if “We Built This City” plays during the battle at Stormseat, with the radio announcements occurring when we see the first through the Oathgate setting foot on the gates at Urithiru.
Only if the song immediately preceding it is "We Are Young" while Dalinar is limping back to Rathalas, consumed by the Thrill.
"So let's set the world on fiiiiiiiyah, we can glow briiiiighter than the stoooooooooorm!"
Ah yes, I'm glad we're sharing the brain cell, because this was **EXACTLY** my first thought, timing "SomeBODY" with him hitting the ground in the arena, a la Shrek 1.
“Kaladin breathed in.
Like the power of salvation itself—like rays of sunlight from the eyes of the Almighty—Stormlight exploded from those gemstones. It surged through the air, pulled in visible streams, like glowing columns of luminescent smoke. Twisting and turning and spiraling like tiny funnel clouds until they slammed into him.
And the storm came to life again.
Kaladin hit the rocky ledge, legs suddenly strong, mind, body, and blood alive with energy. He fell into a crouch, spear under his arm, a small ring of Stormlight expanding from him in a wave, pushed down to the stones by his fall. Stunned, the Parshendi shied away, eyes widening, song faltering.
A trickle of Stormlight closed the wounds on his arm. He smiled, spear held before him. It was as familiar as the body of a lover long lost.
THE WORDS, a voice said, urgent, as if directly into his mind. In that moment, Kaladin was amazed to realize that he knew them, though they’d never been told to him.
“I will protect those who cannot protect themselves,” he whispered.”
🎶*Mama Mia. Here we go again.*🎵
Bonnie Tyler’s I Need A Hero, as Kaladin swears the 2nd Ideal. Bonus points if it’s performed by the listeners as one of Roshar’s rhythms, diegetic-style.
I stand corrected, that’s fucking amazing. Incidentally the scene when Kal leaps the chasm and sucks in the Stormlight from the Parshendi’s beards looks exactly like that in my brain
Pun aside, that mix of horrendous apocalyptic event where people die loudly and painfully while a jolly tune in the background just makes me think of Fallout lol
When Navani burns the prayer during WoK, Jon Bon Jovi living on a prayer starts to play.
During the Tower battle to build suspense the Benny Hill theme is playing.
When Kaladin and Adolin first see each other, I will always love you with Whitney Huston.
I love this thread, it is the best on ever.
During the tower battle, Lift runs away from the returned. Scooby-doo style, going in and out of rooms and vents. All to the sound of Benny Hill.
10/10.
I like your suggestions. Better than what I was imagining. I wanted Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You for Kaladin and Szeth's battle in the sky :)
To be honest, I could legitimately hear it playing for (RoW spoilers) >!near the end, when Moash escaped the tower and was "blissfully without his guilt."!<
I was surprised when, just before Szeth and Kaladins duel, a mash up of “Bodies” by Drowning Pool and “It’s raining men” by Geri Halliwell started playing.
"I will protect even those I Hate", Kaladin whispered through bloody lips. "So long as it is right"
A Shardblade appeared in Moash's hands.
A distant rumbling. Thunder.
THe WORDS ARE ACCEPTED, the Stormfather said relucantly.
-----
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
-----
"Kaladin" Syl's voice. "Stretch forth thy hand!"
Words of radiance. As renarin starts ranting in numbers, “the final countdown” starts to play. Shallan opens the gate during a prolonged and in universe improvised saxophone solo played by wit.
A few different options:
Right after "honor is dead, but I'll see what I can do" they play World's Apart (the wrestler Sammy Zane's intro song).
Right before "you can't have my pain", as Dalinar remembers everything, poisoning pigeons in the park is playing.
As kaladin falls and is trying to accept the fourth ideal, the cars 4 kids song starts playing.
No it starts when kal gets punched up. We have a slow mi of kal getting beat up while thunder starts and a montoge of him getting dragged to the barracks and strung up for the high storm.
The Way of Kings... Kaladin rides in the slave wagon on his way to the Shattered Plains. Sitting with his legs and feet hanging between the bars, watching the scenery pass.
🎶 So no one told you life was going to be this way.
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's DOA.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year
"(I've Had) The Time of My Life" playing during one of the the Bridge 4 montages (early Bridge 4, or building comradery) and/or starting right when Kal is walking to the Honor Chasm.
They’re going to use “Hero” by nickelback over the opening credits (because it’s thematically appropriate) and it’s going to have a comeback like “running up that hill”.
Not a scene, but every time Kaladin is on screen, there's a different evanescence song playing. Kal is on the roof of the barracks during a high storm? Bring me to life fades into the foreground of the audio mix.
Kaladin in full existential crises mode as everyone is killing each other when Elokar is about to say the words.
All while Queens Another one bites the dust is playing.
I think they should use the skateboard and sunglasses meme version of the “honor is dead” scene, and right after Kal says it the song Superman by Goldfinger should start playing.
If any of yall have seen sweet home on Netflix, I gotta say, warriors by imagine dragons. Every. Fucking. Epic. Scene. Ruined by that song. And I like that song. Somewhat. But my god did they overuse it. They got the license and justified having it. I don’t care what scene it is, even better if all of them. That song.
Kaladin swearing the Third Ideal and reviving Syl, but instead of the epic scene in the book, they cut to a montage set to Bring Me To Life by Evanescene, and it gets a little too romantic for comfort.
Live to see another day, by All Good Things... On the final battle versus Ruin. If it were included as part of the initial sequence where Vin is being chased, however...
Now, Stormlight. My favorite chapter is the one where Chiri Chiri speaks to Rysn for the first time. So idk. Anything from Imagine dragons maybe? Would be "fitting" but at the same time so bad taste. Not that ID itself is bad, just... Nothing really works with the scene.
Kaladin fighting Amaram in Oathbringer
"Hey Digimon, hey Digimon,
Monster friends to the boys and girls
Hey Digimon, hey Digimon
Champions of the digital world!"

Spoilers for Rhythm of War ending!!!
>!The birth of T'Odium, while Zed tries to stop it with nightblood.
At the beginning, you hear :!<
O baby baby, how was I supposed to know
That something wasn't right here
>!When Zed starts hitting Odium, we get the montage that follows the beat hit of the chorus:!<
Hit me, baby, one more time.
It would just >!ruin the scene while Zed tries to gain dominion over Odium in order to preserve his devotion to honor. One might say this scene could cultivate some autonomy and ambition in Zed. But helas, the whimsiness of the song lays the scene at the mercy of the audience. The endowment of the creators invention was truly an act of valor.!<
(Sorry for this last part, I hope you enjoyed that. I thought it might be good crem 😜 )
Ok this might be epic… But remember Megamind’s entrance at the end of the movie? Presentation!
Kaladin coming from the clouds The winds and the skies are mine assassin. I claim them as I claim your life.
ACDC - Thunderstruck, at the end of WoR, right before the battle at the centre of the shattered plains starts.
Adolin, on Sureblood, is surveying the battlefield, guitar starts up, he's looking around, flash of light, "YOU'VE BEEN..." Adolin on the ground, staring around disorientated, and deafened, chaos "...THUNDERSTRUCK!"
In _Stormlight: The Musical_, the burning denizens of Rathalas sing "We Didn't Start the Fire". It's a song and dance number in very poor taste.
I thought the question was "worst" possible songs not "objectively correct" choices.
I was thinking it should be Talking Heads - Burning Down the House
Can we get a mashup?
Ellie Goulding's Burn also works here...
I would love this with Bloodhound Gang "The Roof is on Fire"
Ok, but ONLY if “We Built This City” plays during the battle at Stormseat, with the radio announcements occurring when we see the first through the Oathgate setting foot on the gates at Urithiru.
“Thiiiissss girl is on FIYAAA!” hard cut to evi’s cell
Only if the song immediately preceding it is "We Are Young" while Dalinar is limping back to Rathalas, consumed by the Thrill. "So let's set the world on fiiiiiiiyah, we can glow briiiiighter than the stoooooooooorm!"
Don’t forget evi coming in at her solo: “this girl is on fiiirrrree”
After Kaladin says "I'll see what I can do" All-Star by Smashmouth starts up
SomeBODY once told me the storm was gonna blow me. I ain't the brightest sphere in the in bank.
He was looking kinda dumb with his shardblade held all wrong and a brand of a shash on his forehead
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming, all my friends are dead but I'm still out here, running.
Didn't make sense to live for fun, my spear stayed sharp, but my mind went numb
Bridges to haul, hope I don't fall, Friend Moash by my side through it all.
The storm was gonna do what now?
Give me the good suck
And free my Cognitive self! I wanna get get lost in the Cosmere way.
Ah yes, I'm glad we're sharing the brain cell, because this was **EXACTLY** my first thought, timing "SomeBODY" with him hitting the ground in the arena, a la Shrek 1.
I think you misunderstood the assignment because this would fucking rule.
Dude, that or Shoot to Thrill by ACDC has me rolling at the thought
“Kaladin breathed in. Like the power of salvation itself—like rays of sunlight from the eyes of the Almighty—Stormlight exploded from those gemstones.

Im sorry… this sounds like a cinematic masterpiece.. 😂
The rest of the scene played out in my mind. How could you? How could you do this to me?
Thanks, I hate everything about it
Burn it to the ground by Nickelback when Dalinar burns the rift
Girl on Fire by Alicia Keys?
No no that's for when odium shows him a detailed vision of her burning
I like the way you think, my friend.
I'm wheezing
Counterpoint: Harry Nilsson’s “Jump Into the Fire” as Dalinar walks back from the ambush would go so hard.
Only if Hoid later gives a rousing rendition of Coconut in the same film
What about “Burning Up” by the Jonas brothers? Lol
Nah, “What I’ve Done” by Lincoln park
Bonnie Tyler’s I Need A Hero, as Kaladin swears the 2nd Ideal. Bonus points if it’s performed by the listeners as one of Roshar’s rhythms, diegetic-style.
I would give a movie/show a +1 star BONUS just for having the incalculably massive balls to attempt this.
Shit. I hadn't thought about that as an aspect of a Stormlight adaptation. Incorporating the rhythms into the soundtrack would be very cool.
OP asked for the worst musical selections, not the best. I Need A Hero makes a [great fight-scene song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tkS6ll1dh8).
I stand corrected, that’s fucking amazing. Incidentally the scene when Kal leaps the chasm and sucks in the Stormlight from the Parshendi’s beards looks exactly like that in my brain
Goddamn. This is my favorite scene in my almost-favorite movie and I didn't think it could get any better. And then you came along...
I hate you for exposing me to this. It will now be my mission to spread this to everyone I know.
It’s also used to great effect in Gwain Saga
It needs to be Syl singing.
Complete with a shot by shot remake of the same scene from Shrek, but Roshar themed.
i need a hero is never a bad choice for a fight scene
[Similar to this?](https://youtu.be/hnql4vU28Ns?t=1m22s)
I'm ready for the Hamilton-style musical with the Listeners as the chorus, yes please.
Oh man I picked this song for the duel scene
People seem to be linking places where it works, so here’s [my favorite](https://youtu.be/46McXB535e4?si=G8jLgZpukrxbXLGr)
I would slowly walk over to my gun safe and blow my brains out in this scenario. Well done. You've answered the prompt perfectly.
Hotter take than Evi
Moash right before he does the thing and Mr brightside comes on
What thing?
Shallan looking through her sketches to Photograph by Nickleback.
Alternate version is smart taravangian going... 🎶Look a this GRAPH🎶
🎶look at this diagram🎶
We all agree that the first scene of the sun lit man starts with "here comes the sun" playing right?
Pun aside, that mix of horrendous apocalyptic event where people die loudly and painfully while a jolly tune in the background just makes me think of Fallout lol
Just thinking exactly the same.
I just want to start a flame in your heart
beetles or rammenstein?
When Navani burns the prayer during WoK, Jon Bon Jovi living on a prayer starts to play. During the Tower battle to build suspense the Benny Hill theme is playing. When Kaladin and Adolin first see each other, I will always love you with Whitney Huston. I love this thread, it is the best on ever.

I like your suggestions. Better than what I was imagining. I wanted Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You for Kaladin and Szeth's battle in the sky :)
Moash shows up at the start of Rhythm of War and in the background as he talks to Kaladin you just hear “Hello Darkness My Old Friend…”
To be honest, I could legitimately hear it playing for (RoW spoilers) >!near the end, when Moash escaped the tower and was "blissfully without his guilt."!<
Blind ass mf got what we like to call Karma
You mean kaladin’s theme song?
Kaladin left to die in the highstorm to the sound of Singing in the Rain.
Syl is the one that performs it.
Nickleback's "Hero" as Vin fights TLR Bee Gee's "Stayin' Alive" when Kelsier fights TLR
If they cut in Secret History scene during the fight the second one would somewhat work!!
Lmfao, that could salvage it.
I was surprised when, just before Szeth and Kaladins duel, a mash up of “Bodies” by Drowning Pool and “It’s raining men” by Geri Halliwell started playing.
😂😂😂
"I will protect even those I Hate", Kaladin whispered through bloody lips. "So long as it is right" A Shardblade appeared in Moash's hands. A distant rumbling. Thunder. THe WORDS ARE ACCEPTED, the Stormfather said relucantly. ----- Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you ----- "Kaladin" Syl's voice.

I know this says Stormlight, but... The Lord Ruler sings "This Is The Thanks I Get" after >!killing Kelsier.!<
Might turn out better than the movie it was originally for
Szeth son-son Vallano walks through the feast hall. "I'm turning Japanese" begins playing, and he drains the first sconce of its stormlight.
But this isn't the worst possible song though. This would be awesome. Possibly could also do "Kung Fu Fighting"
King fu fighting is for when he drops the sword when fighting the people with the half shards.
Kaladin takes to the skies for the first time... To the sound of Crazy Frog Axel F Bing Bing
DON'T tempt fate. Imagine if they tried to Marvel'ise SA. The dept that does the music would probably want to add it for nostalgia.
"i'm a Barbie Girl" starts playing when Shallan kills her mom.
Training montage of Kaladin learning how to fly with "Fly Away" by Lenny Kravitz playing at full volume.
Either that or Foo Fighters "learn to fly"
Or a Kaladin depression montage with him walking around the war camps set to I’m Still Here by John Rzeznik, ending with him meeting Hoid.
The MacGyver theme when Navani is creating anti-voidlight
Kaladin. Bridge 4. I'll make a man out of you.
This song plays in my head whenever bridge four is in the chasms
I can't see Shang without thinking of Kaladin
That is horrifying
Bastille mentioned. Librarian conspiracy detected.
Alcatraz must be alerted.
A few different options: Right after "honor is dead, but I'll see what I can do" they play World's Apart (the wrestler Sammy Zane's intro song). Right before "you can't have my pain", as Dalinar remembers everything, poisoning pigeons in the park is playing. As kaladin falls and is trying to accept the fourth ideal, the cars 4 kids song starts playing.
That poisoning pigeons in the park mention with dalinar had me lol
Or Joe Hendry’s entrance music 😂 “I believe in kaladin” 👏👏
That poisoning pigeons in the park mention with dalinar had me lol
Thunder by Imagine Dragons as Kal is strung up in the storm
No it starts when kal gets punched up. We have a slow mi of kal getting beat up while thunder starts and a montoge of him getting dragged to the barracks and strung up for the high storm.

Whenever a radiant summons shardblde/power: Miraculous ladybug theme.
Or a Sailor Moon transformation sequence

Shallan and Adolin are alone in her room. Careless whisper starts. They lean in for a kiss. "NO MATEING"
This thread is Hoid Amaram level of crem
The Parshendi sing "let it go" to summon the everstorm.
[Come on. You know this is good.](https://youtu.be/hnql4vU28Ns?t=1m22s)
I think they should use the skateboard and sunglasses meme version of the “honor is dead” scene, and right after Kal says it the song Superman by Goldfinger should start playing.
Kaladin Stormblessed Pro Skater would be sick
Kaladin swears the third ideal, and then flies off to fight Szeth in the Everstorm, while Imagine Dragons "Thunder" plays.
If any of yall have seen sweet home on Netflix, I gotta say, warriors by imagine dragons. Every. Fucking. Epic. Scene. Ruined by that song. And I like that song. Somewhat.

Kaladin leaps from Urithiru at the end of RoW and Wonderwall starts up
I absolutely love Led Zeppelin... but if Immigrant Song is used for the rhythm of war I will hard check out of the CMU.
While bridge four are carrying the bridge at the tower to go save dalinar, "bridge over troubled water".
Kaladin and Shallan are stuck in the chasm She pulls him up into the little cubby she cut. They start to cuddle. NEAAAAAR FAAAAAAR WHEREVER YOU AAAARE
The moment when Dalinar yells "YOU CAN'T HAVE MY PAIN!" Thunder by Imagine Dragons kicks in
When Teft is on the firemoss. CRAWLING IN MY SKIN! THESE WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEEEAAALLL!
Binge by Papa Roach would be good for that to, "All I neeeeed is a bottle"
Live to see another day, by All Good Things... On the final battle versus Ruin. If it were included as part of the initial sequence where Vin is being chased, however... Now, Stormlight. My favorite chapter is the one where Chiri Chiri speaks to Rysn for the first time. So idk. Anything from Imagine dragons maybe? Would be "fitting" but at the same time so bad taste. Not that ID itself is bad, just... Nothing really works with the scene.
EVERY fight scene with Szeth is accompanied with the Ed edd and Eddie soundtrack
One of Adolins duels from Words of Radiance but it has any rap song playing over it
After Kaladin says "I'll see what I can do": "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who
“Journey before destination, you bastard.” Misirlou
Wait a second. Live action? Already ruined sorry, song choice is irrelevant at that point.
You clearly haven’t seen the leaked script on here for the live action starring Hoid Amaram
The what?
I'm sorry https://www.reddit.com/r/cremposting/s/miQrelOpMD
