Toss a berry to yer badger.
About the song
Do real badgers eat berries? Doesn't really matter, I suppose, because The Brandy Badgers surely do.
The Badgers are a kinship music collective in the Grand Order of the Lost Mathom, a hobbit RP kinship on the LOTRO Laurelin server. The band is sort of an in-character front for us when we want to play out-of character music; music that you'd realistically not find in Middle-Earth. So our badgers eat berries (especially boozy berries), sleep most of the winter, and wake to greet the early springtime with songs and merriment. I am sure real badgers don't, but hey. It is fun!
So here is a "Grand badger berry song", based on Arcade Fire's marvellous "Neighbourhood #1 (Tunnels)". If yer hear it in-game, spare some berries for the badgers!
Grand badger berry song
Soon spring is here clear blue skies when badgers wake
Soon the forest will bloom Badgers leave their tunnels and walk into the light Leave their tunnels and walk into the light
They greet one another and look for juicy berries the berries that they love But since no berries are ripe and juicy they sneak into the village to grab all the jam they find Hungry badgers searching for jars of lovely jam
Oh so sweet and grand life in hobbit land eating lots of jam but steering clear of all the ham
Oh, a dog comes in to join them He shows them where all the kegs are where boozy berries wait
So thirsty, dog and badgers go bonkers Drink with carefree manners singing well into the night Badgers growl and the dog howls well until the morning light
Oh the spring is grand life in homely hobbit land Boozy berries and jam The dog can have all of the ham Singing goodbye to winter
Badgers greeting springtime Badgers singing songs Badgers greeting springtime Badgers singing aloud They hope for berries in the forest in homely hobbit land
