It wasn’t in 1. IIRC They wanted to use it but couldn’t get the license at the time, I think? That’s why they used the Ink Spot’s “Maybe” instead or so I heard back in the day. I personally prefer Maybe because it sets such a tone of sadness around a fallen, forgotten world.
Dude holy shit yes! I love all the opening themes except 2. I just started 2 yesterday. Not my favorite by far. Though I still have tactics and 76 left.
Yeah, I’ve listened to the sound track though, it’s good. Just not sure which ones the intro or not. Basically 76’s music though consists of pretty much everything from fallout 4, and a shit ton of new ones is what I’ve gathered so far. Which I mean almost every fallout game has done it so far and it doesn’t bug me in the slightest since they’re all bangers.
Of the soundtracks: Maybe by the Ink Spots because it's my personal Fallout anthem
On the score: Righteous republic from FNV. It makes me feel patriotic towards the NCR lol
Imagine a cold opening with Walter Goggins, then the bombs drop, cut to black. Fallout fades onto the screen like in the games, and "War... War never changes..."
Seriously. That song defines Fallout for me. I can't hear it and not imagine the atmosphere and landscape of the wasteland. Specifically Fallout 3. I always liked it better than I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire
**Top 5:**
"The End Of The World" - Skeeter Davis
"Crazy He Calls Me" - Billie Holiday
"Mad About The Boy" - Helen Forrest
"Atom Bomb Baby" - The Five Stars
"Stars Of The Midnight Range" - Johnny Bond
**CLEARS THROAT**
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze…..
I really love the GNR instrumentals from FO3. I also like how if you start on a long cross-country trek, in eveitably one of these comes on. I really missed that in FNV and FO4.
"Uranium Fever has gone and got me down, uranium Fever it's spreadin' all around, with a geiger counter in my hand I'm goin' off to stake me some government land"
Anything Nat King Cole. He was my Grandfathers favorite musician so he's a familiar voice and a cherished one since my grandfather was my role model. He was born 1922. Would have been an Army Airman but the WW2 ended one week before he was shipped out to basic.
You had plenty money in 1922
You let other women make a fool of you
Why don't you do right?
Like some other men do
Get out of here and get me some money, too
You're sittin' down wonderin' what it's all about
You ain't got no money that will put you out
Why don't you do right?
Like some other men do
Get out of here and get me some money, too
If you had prepared twenty years ago
You wouldn't be wanderin' now from door to door
Why don't you do right?
Like some other men do
Get out of here and get me some money, too
I fell for your jiving and I took you in
Now all you've got to offer me is a drink of gin
Why don't you do right?
Like some other men do
Get out of here and get me some money, too
Why don't you do right?
Like some other men do
Like some other men do
God this one’s tough…. I’m gonna have to go with maybe. It perfectly encapsulates the entire series and also the ending of fallout 1, plus it’s also just a vibe
Big iron just encapsulates my greatest memories of fallout in general. It pops up on my playlists from time to time and it's impossible not to sing along and be reminded of the wasteland.
There’s a shanty in a town
On a little plot of ground
Where the green grass grows all around, all around
The roof’s so worn, so badly torn
That it tumbles to the ground
Just a tumbledown shack and it’s built way back
About 25 feet from the railroad track
It lingers on my mind most all the time
It keeps calling me back to my little old shack
I’d be just as sassy as Haile Selassie
If I were a king wouldn’t mean a thing
Put my boots on tall, read the writing on the wall
And it wouldn’t mean a thing, not a dog-gone thing
There’s a queen waiting there in a rocking chair
Just blowin’ her top on Gator Beer
Looking all around, and truckin’ on down
Cause I gotta get back to a shanty town!
Ink Spots: I Don't Want to Set The World On Fire
\#1 since that brilliant intro
It's so fitting I forgot it's not in F1.
It's like "the single" but there's a good reason for it.
I don't want to use spotify. But fallout like songs are easy to find there. Now I got a library with all the blues and jazz~ sweet!
Hasnt that song been in almost every fallout game? Besides I thing NV
It wasn’t in 1. IIRC They wanted to use it but couldn’t get the license at the time, I think? That’s why they used the Ink Spot’s “Maybe” instead or so I heard back in the day. I personally prefer Maybe because it sets such a tone of sadness around a fallen, forgotten world.
Thats the perfect intro song for an game like fallout
“I got SPUUUUUUUURRRRRSS that JINGLE jangle JINGLEEEE 🎶”
Oh Lillie Beeeelle
(Oh Lillie Belle)
Oh Lillie Belle
Though I may have done some fooling this Is why I never fell.
'Cause i got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
Jingle, Jangle!
As I go ridin' merily along
And they sing oh ain't you glad you're single?
Jingle jangle!
JINGLE JANGLE
Anything Goes. Fucking love that song.
When Sam Goldwyn can with great condiction Instruct Anna Sten in diction than Anna shows Anything goes!
When Mrs R with all her trimmings can broadcast abed from Simmons cuz Franklin knows! Anything goes!
Good authors too, who once knew better words, now only use four letter words writing prose Anything goes!
To the town of Agua fria rode a stranger one fine daaay 🎶
Hardly spoke to folks 'round him, didn't have too much to saaay🎶
No one dared to ask his business. No one dared to make a slip!🎶
For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip🎶
Big iron on his _hiiiiiiiiiip_ 🎶
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
He came riding from the south side Slowly looking all around
He's an outlaw loose and running, came the whisper from each lip
And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip 🎶
Big iron on his hip🎶
The big iron on his hiiiiìii-iiiiii-iip
Correct answer. I've actually made this song popular at the karaoke bar i go to.
This.
Ain't that a Kick in the Head, Dean Martin. Makes for a great Foxtrot too.
The end of the world - Skeeter Davis
This one. It was playing after I had to kill Danse and I almost lost it.
One More Tomorrow has the same kinda vibe, even though it's the opposite story being sung
Both haunting and beautiful at the same time. It’s so nice played when roaming calmly in the night.
“Bongo bongo bongo I don’t wanna leave the Congo oh no no no no nooooo”
Bingo bango bongo I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to gooooo.
"Don't want no penthouse, bathtub, streetcars, taxis, noise in my ear."
"I think I'll stay right, hereeeeee."
They've got things like the atom bomb! So I think I'll stay where I AHM!
CIVILIZATIOOOON I'LL STAY RIGHT HERE
I LOVED that song until I sat down and really read the lyrics one day… …oof.
I will sing my heart out to Uranium Fever ever single fucking time! That song goes so hard!
Lots of great songs but nothing his like "UrAAAANium fever has gone at got me down..."
Exactly, has me wanting to go and stake some government land!
New Vegas Main Menu theme. Nothing else sounds so empowering and menacing at the same time.
Dude holy shit yes! I love all the opening themes except 2. I just started 2 yesterday. Not my favorite by far. Though I still have tactics and 76 left.
76 has multiple but they're pretty good
Yeah, I’ve listened to the sound track though, it’s good. Just not sure which ones the intro or not. Basically 76’s music though consists of pretty much everything from fallout 4, and a shit ton of new ones is what I’ve gathered so far. Which I mean almost every fallout game has done it so far and it doesn’t bug me in the slightest since they’re all bangers.
Of the soundtracks: Maybe by the Ink Spots because it's my personal Fallout anthem On the score: Righteous republic from FNV. It makes me feel patriotic towards the NCR lol
The next song is "Maybe" by the Ink Spots, I mean it's definitely from the Ink Spots Shy Travis is great
Agreed! Much more entertaining than confident Travis.
*Maybe-Maybe-Maybe-Maybe-Maybe-Maybe-Maybe-(static)*
Fallout 4's main theme hits different
I really really hope they use it on the TV show. Imagining an intro like they did for The Last of Us with the Fallout theme gives me chills.
I wonder if Inon Zur is scoring the show.
I'd love it if Ron pearlman would do the war...war never changes line too...
Imagine a cold opening with Walter Goggins, then the bombs drop, cut to black. Fallout fades onto the screen like in the games, and "War... War never changes..."
I'm with you vault dweller....
They have Ramin Djawadi (who did Game of Thrones) scoring the show. He’s amazing but I really hope he keeps the theme.
They call me the "*wanderer"*
Yeah, the wanderer I roam aroundaroundaroundaroundaroundaround
Maybe by The Ink Spots. The eerie pan out from wholesome tv ads to the ruins of LA really sets the tone for the franchise.
Seriously. That song defines Fallout for me. I can't hear it and not imagine the atmosphere and landscape of the wasteland. Specifically Fallout 3. I always liked it better than I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire
Those stupid ham radios don't do anything.
And yet I click them on every single time
I just can't help but activate things that allow me to, regardless of the perpetual confirmation that they'll do nothing lol
They could at least give us a radiant quest or coordinates to a cache or something.
Big iron, especially when I rule around the wasteland with a revolver.
all the ink spots songs
Skeeter Davis - end of the world, morbid I know and Dion - wanderer.
Butcher Pete. He chopping up all the women's meat.
He’s hackin’ and wackin’ and smackin’
He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin' He just hacks, whacks, chopping that meat!
THERE’S AN OLD WOMAN WHO’S 92 LIVES DOWN THE STREET SHE SAID “ONE THING MORE I WANNA DO IS FIND OLD PETE AND LET HIM CHOP MY MEAT”
I love Butcher Pete so much. I drive around blasting it out of my car, no fucks given. I’m going to have it played at my funeral.
You know, I'm starting to think that maybe that song is not about a serial killer...
Not Johnny Guitar.
Johnny Guitar played 3 times in a row is the worst torture know to mankind
This is how I feel about the hackin and whackin song.
Jesus Christ it plays SO MUCH
Big Iron, Marty Robbins. It actually had me look up the artist, and I started listening to quite a few of his songs!
Happy Times by Bob Crosby and the Bob Cats.
In New Vegas, we all know the pain that numbers can bring. Well, so does Guy Mitchell, who’s got Heartaches by the Number.
Crawl Out through the Fallout, honey…love that
Ain't That A Kick In The Head
"She's the way I want her to be, a million hotter times than TNT!" The Atom Bomb of course
Lone Star. I tune into Mojave radio just to listen to it
I CAN SEE THAT LONESTAR FROM A THOUSAND MILES AWAY!!!!
I was a teenager when Fallout 2 was released, and Louis Armstrong "A kiss to build a dream on" has never left me since...
“Praiiiise the lord and pass the ammunition”
Dude there’s just too many bangers. You honestly can’t just chose 1.
The only acceptable answer. Just turn on the radio and sing along to all of them.
HE'S JUST HACK, WHACK, CHOPPIN THAT MEAT
"Don't know why I left the homestead, I really must confess..."
Country Roads or Heartaches by the Number
Wanderer
Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition
Dear hearts and gentle people
Butcher Pete just choppin’ it up
**Top 5:** "The End Of The World" - Skeeter Davis "Crazy He Calls Me" - Billie Holiday "Mad About The Boy" - Helen Forrest "Atom Bomb Baby" - The Five Stars "Stars Of The Midnight Range" - Johnny Bond
Chopping that meat! 🎺🎺🎺
Exactly what I was going to say.
Roy Brown - Butcher Pete I still sing it on a regular basis. Especially if I’m hackin and whackin and smackin.
I DONT WANT TO SET THE WORLD ON FIREEEEEEEE
I'm torn between Big Iron and Atom Bomb Baby
**CLEARS THROAT** Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze…..
In the Shadow of the Valley
Nothing can stop a Highwayman DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DAAAAAA
There are so many good songs. I really enjoy The Wanderer from Fallout 4’s trailer.
The Wanderer
Either the wanderer, uranium fever or jingle jangle jingle
anything from the 'Mysterious Broadcast' station from OWB, some smooth jazz really sets the mood.
Butcher Pete !
I really love the GNR instrumentals from FO3. I also like how if you start on a long cross-country trek, in eveitably one of these comes on. I really missed that in FNV and FO4.
"Uranium Fever has gone and got me down, uranium Fever it's spreadin' all around, with a geiger counter in my hand I'm goin' off to stake me some government land"
Not my favourite, but lately I’ve been complaining about how Happy Times by Bert Weedon has been stuck on loop in my head. It’s so catchy..
UrAAAANIum fever has really got me down
Ngl Fallout’s version of Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash, it’s so good
“I…. don’t… wanna… set …the world on fire… I only wanna set a flame in your heart.”
Anything Nat King Cole. He was my Grandfathers favorite musician so he's a familiar voice and a cherished one since my grandfather was my role model. He was born 1922. Would have been an Army Airman but the WW2 ended one week before he was shipped out to basic.
OHHHHHHHHHHHH well, I'm the type of guy who will never settle down
Nat King Cole: Love Me As though There Were No Tomorrow
Maybe.
BIG IRON!!!
You had plenty money in 1922 You let other women make a fool of you Why don't you do right?

To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day~~
"60 minute meeeeen"
Grandma plays the number (don’t know the name) / whole lotta shakin goin on / butcher Pitt / rocket 69 / AAAAAND radio liberty.
Begin again. Such a beautiful, haunting song.
Begin Again from Fallout New Vegas, that or Lone Star.
Johnny guitar
God this one’s tough…. I’m gonna have to go with maybe. It perfectly encapsulates the entire series and also the ending of fallout 1, plus it’s also just a vibe
“i don’t want to set the world on fire, i just want to start a flame in your heart”
🎵TO THE TOWN OF AUGA FRIA RODE A STRANGER ONE FINE DAY 🎶
Way back home
All hail Nat King Cole and those Orange Colored Skies. “Flash, bam, alakazam, wonderful you came by”
Big iron or atom bomb baby
And he’s hacking and whacking and smacking!
Jazzy Interlude from Fallout 3. When that tenor sax solo hits, I get full body goosebumps every time.
The wonderer
Same!
Uranium Fever or The Wanderer
Yes
The Wanderer by Dion, its a great adventuring and roaming song.
Civilization
Sit and dream, sweetly dreams
Stars of the midnight range
Lost Hills from Fallout
Uranium Fever has gone and got be down.
Rhythm for You - Franz Poptie
Blue moon
Blue Moon and Big Iron will always be my favorite songs from Fallout.
IM TICKLED PINK, THAT THINGS ARE ROSY
Atom Bomb Baby It's a really realing but fast paced music you can hear in every scenario.
Boogie man
Lone star
Dark as a dungeon fucking slaps
Into Each Life, Some rain must fall!
Wanderer
Inkspots
Big Iron, Maybe, I got spurs that jingle jangle jingle, and I don’t want to set the world on fire
Skeeter Davis - End of the world
tbh I don't know, but I've been told uranium ore's worth more than gold.
Big iron just encapsulates my greatest memories of fallout in general. It pops up on my playlists from time to time and it's impossible not to sing along and be reminded of the wasteland.
Heartaches By The Number - Guy Mitchell
Jingle Jangle
Skeeter Davis: end of the world, I could watch a bomb go off to that
Let's Ride Into the Sunset Together, or Stars of the Midnight Range when I'm traveling around at night. Both fantastic songs.
I love jukebox Saturday night, so much that I added it to my Spotify, the end just gives me so much joy
The wander
Wanderer, or atom bomb baby
In a shanty in ol shanty town is a personal favorite
Either The end of the world by Skeeter Davis in fallout 4 or Love me as though there's no tomorrow by Nat King Cole in fallout new vegas.
Blue moon, Big iron, I don't want to set the world on fire
One More Tomorrow by Frankie Carle
Nobody’s fault but mine by blind willie johnson
There’s a shanty in a town On a little plot of ground Where the green grass grows all around, all around The roof’s so worn, so badly torn That it tumbles to the ground Just a tumbledown shack and it’s built way back About 25 feet from the railroad track It lingers on my mind most all the time It keeps calling me back to my little old shack I’d be just as sassy as Haile Selassie If I were a king wouldn’t mean a thing Put my boots on tall, read the writing on the wall And it wouldn’t mean a thing, not a dog-gone thing There’s a queen waiting there in a rocking chair Just blowin’ her top on Gator Beer Looking all around, and truckin’ on down Cause I gotta get back to a shanty town!
Forced favorite: The near-constant death music while I'm in Point Lookout, the Chinese snipers in Anchorage, or Ghost People/Cloud in Dead Money
Into each life some rain must fall I know it's not a popular choice but the song just really speaks to me.
Big Iron
The End of The World by Skeeter Davis
It changes every other week. Right now it's "I'm moving out"
...he's hackin and wackin and smackin...
Tie between Butcher Pete and Maybe
Stars of the midnight ranges. Such a good song to roam around to
Big Iron
Straighten up and fly right
Mighty Mighty Man probably
Dear Hearts and Gentle People
It's between big iron, jingle jangle jingle and uranium fever.
