Hi
I'd like to know the names of the songs in wich Jeroen Tel was based to create the music of lemmings. As far as I know all the songs are covers of traditional folk/classical music. In wikipedia are some, but not all of them. These are the songs that I already have:
Lemming 1: Canon in D - Pachebel
Tim 6: Dance of the reed flutes - Tchaikovsky
Tim 7: Rondo alla turka - Mozart
Tim 8: Dance of the little swans - Tchaikovsky
Tim 9: London bridge is falling down
Tim 10: Forest Green - Ralph Vaughan Williams + The good, the bad and the ugly theme
Doggie: How much is that doggy in the window?
Mountain: She\'ll be comin\' \'round the mountain
Tenlem: Ten green bottles + Funeral march - Chopin + Here comes the bride - Wagner
Cancan: Infernal Galop - Jaques Offenbach
I was hoping if you can help me to identify all the songs since you are a real lemming fanatics
Thanks ;)
On the old forums there were some posts regarding it, however almost all titles posted there have been noted by you already:

Not all the songs are covers of traditional music.
One of them is actually pulled from this old Amiga demo, Puggs in Space. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kIqu_S0txc) Tim Wright, the guy who did the Lemmings soundtrack, wrote the music for this demo and ended up re-using it in Lemmings. I forget which Lemmings song specifically, as my Lemmings midis are inaccessible, but you'll know when you listen (the song in the middle of the demo)
Cool (for those looking for the when the lemmings music starts, it's at 1:37 in the demo). That's Tim3 by the way.
I'm interested to know why everyone goes on about how Jeroen Tel did the music... Um, Tim Wright and Brian Johnston are just imaginary, are they? :S
I think most of them are actual songs, though. I don't think they made much music for lemmings.
No, some of them are original to Tim and Brian.
Taking the Amiga naming order, the original ones are:
Only floaters can survive this
Tailor made for blockers
Now use miners and climbers
A task for blockers and bombers
Builders will help you here
Smile if you love Lemmings
We all fall down
Alot of people like to say that the intro to Only floaters can survive this sounds like some classical piece. About five notes do, the rest sound different. I don't think that's basis to say it was derived from the classical piece (thewhich I can't recall). If that was true, every song ever made would sound like every other song because they have middle C in them (or something stupid)... etc

Source: the fact the songs don't copy anything (except for a section of Tim3 apparently), the naming scheme applied to the SMS music rip, and not being a sanctimonious git. :D
And, er, which ones in terms of the DOS version? That's the one I'm most familiar with the soundtrack on.
Or is that what you're already talking about?
I don't know the DOS ordering, but here's Lemmix ordering for reference. They're the same, aren't they?
Just Dig!
Only Floaters Can Survive This
Tailor-Made For Blockers
You Need Bashers This Time
A Task for Blockers and Bombers
As Long As You Try Your Best
Patience
Okay, though I really haven't played Lemmix enough to see if its a set soundtrack or if it changes randomly. Well, I guess I'll find out.
DOS ordering, had to go through and do the DOSBox thing.
Just Dig! (on the Amiga, this tune belongs to Only Floaters Can Survive This)
Only Floaters Can Survive This (on the Amiga, this tune belongs to Now Use Miners and Climbers)
Tailor-Made for Blockers (on the Amiga, this tune belongs to Smile If You Love Lemmings)
Builders Will Help You Here (on the Amiga, this tune belongs to We All Fall Down)
Not As Complicated As It Looks (on the Amiga, this tune belongs to Tailor-Made for Blockers)
As Long As You Try Your Best (on the Amiga, this tune belongs to A Task For Blockers and Bombers)
Smile If You Love Lemmings (on the Amiga, this tune belongs to Don't Let Your Eyes Deceive You)

Ah. I know a lot of the DOS ordering.
Another interesting note: some of the original songs are remixed for All New World of Lemmings and Lemmings 2: The Tribes. The ANWoL ones are nice.
Interesting indeed...
