History Music / Wormsong

* Wormsong '95 - from the first title in the series, ''Worms''.
* Wormsong '99 - from ''Worms Armageddon''.
* Wormsong '03 - from ''Worms 3D''.
* Wormsong '11 - This version was a "thank you" gift for the fans by Creator/Team17, developers of the games, and Bjorn Lynne had nothing to do with it at all; though it later became the main theme for ''Worms Reloaded'' as of an update.

* AmbiguousSituation: In Wormsong '11 the plane arrives to aid Boggy and defeat the remaining enemy worm. But when Boggy B tells his comrades about it, the general claims that there was no plane, leaving it ambiguous as to what really happened.
* BatterUp: Clagnut disposes of an enemy trying to kill Boggy B with a baseball bat, seeing as other weapons he had (grenade and an explosive banana) would not help him at the close range.

* CrapsackWorld: The world of ''Worms'' is described as a once-peaceful land that has taken a toll for worse after the war began, with Wormsong '03 implying that most of the battles happen between various cults and clans that want to TakeOverTheWorld. Living as a worm became quite difficult, as they became nothing but a battlefield fodder, with even hardened veterans being unable to hide their fears. Boggy's primary motivation for fighting is "so that future generations may live without fear of [[DeathFromAbove Air Strikes]] and [[StuffBlowingUp Grenades]], or face the hardship every day that the war has brought upon his world".

** Wormsong '99 itself is much darker than other songs, partially because TheHeroDies.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Until ''Rumble'', the TurnBasedStrategy rules of ''Worms'' games don't seem to apply here; Worms don't wait for the others to finish their turn to take some sort of action. Examples include:

** Clagnut makes it to the enemy worm before the latter could do anything to Boggy. If the situation described in Wormsong '03 happened in a ''Worms'' game with Boggy B and Clagnut being on the same team, the enemy would have had their turn next, and could have probably tried to do something, but nothing like that is described -- Boggy B makes his turn right after Clagnut and finishes the enemy off by dropping Mad Cows on him.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In '95, the dynamite Boggy B uses to avenge Spadge makes a huge explosion that killed several worms, including the enemy leader. The latter's death causes other worms to squirm away in fear, giving Boggy his first victory.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Spadge was introduced in Wormsong '95 and quickly killed off by an enemy worm. Not much is known about him other than being Boggy B's best friend (and a brother, if '03 is to go by) and having a son named Clagnut.

''Wormsongs'' are the {{Theme Tune}}s written for the ''VideoGame/{{Worms}}'' games, composed by [[http://www.lynnemusic.com/ Bjorn Arild Lynne]]. A total of four versions were made, each using same composition but with different arrangement and lyrics:

* AmbiguousSituation: The plane from Wormsong '11 that arrived to aid Boggy and defeat the remaining enemy worm. Boggy's general claims that it wasn't there, leaving it ambiguous as to what really happened.

* CrapsackWorld: The world of ''Worms'' is described as a "once-peaceful land" that has taken a toll for worse after the war began, with Wormsong '03 implying that most of the battles happen between various cults and clans that want to TakeOverTheWorld. Living as a worm became quite difficult, as they became nothing but a battlefield fodder, with even hardened veterans being unable to hide their fears.

** Compared to the tone of video games these songs were made for. In the ''Worms'' series, war is usually a [[WarHasNeverBeenSoMuchFun source of comedy]], with outlandish weapons and funny cutscenes. The worms die, [[DeathIsCheap but will come back after each round like nothing happened]]. The songs are the [[WarIsHell polar opposite]] of this, seeing how much more seriously war and death are treated. The first song reveals that the main lead has a DisappearedDad who he might never see again, and also has them watch his best friend killed, leading to a RoaringRampageOfRevenge. Boggy's primary motivation for fighting according to Wormsong '03 is "so that future generations may live without fear of [[DeathFromAbove Air Strikes]] and [[StuffBlowingUp Grenades]], or face the hardship every day that the war has brought upon his world".

Living to fight, just a victor again.

** Boggy B's father [[DadsOffFightingInTheWar left to serve in war]] when his son was two years old, and hasn't returned since. This plays a major role in Wormsong '11; The plane arrives to defeat the last enemy standing, and Boggy recognizes his dad driving it, but when he tells about it to his teammates and General, he's told there was no plane and that he probably imagined it, leaving him confused.

* OddballInTheSeries: Wormsong '99. The lead up to lyrics is much longer, the lyrical part itself is a lot shorter ( it doesn't start with any variation of "This is a story of courage, honor, and worms." or ends with "We won the war!", the chorus are absent), and the song itself ends on a DownerEnding with Boggy B dead, something that following Wormsongs prefer to ignore.
