One of my PCs has been cultivating a lot of contacts around town. Recently he was speaking with a lousy bard who can only just barely get singing opportunites on open stage nights at low-class taverns, and they got to chatting. Then he asked her if she'd written any songs recently, based on the turmoil in Korvosa. Of course she would have, so I gave her a few song titles.
The party is currently between Edge of Anarchy and Seven Days to the Grave. Here are her most recent works: "Eat Your Heart Out, Cuz There Ain't No Food", "The Blonde Killed the King But You Killed My Heart", and "She Might Be Gray But She Ain’t Never a Maiden".
Now that I know he's going to do this I have some time to think about what else she might be writing. Is anyone else thinking up song titles, by any chance?

Here are some titles that play off actual songs (with the real song and artist in parentheses):
"Anarchy in Korvosa" ("Anarchy in the UK" - Sex Pistols)"Catch My Disease" (Ben Lee)
"I shot the Queen" ("I shot the Sheriff" - Bob Marley; this could come up in Escape from Old Korvosa, when Endrin tries to shoot the Queen with his crossbow.
"The Blackjack Blues" (generic blues/jazz song)
"Save a Horse, Ride a Shoanti" ("Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy" - Big & Rich; or insert any other race/monster/person... apparently, there was some big controversy about this)
There is Power in a Union - song billy big, leftist rabble rouser(billy bragg same title)
'The battle of old korvosa' by the demolishers, a sad rememberance of Hellknight brutality. (levellers, the battle of the bean field)
