I'm playing a bard in an upcoming D&D (5e) game and I wanted to come up with a list of funny, weird, and just downright random song/poem/book titles for my bard to reference throughout the game at opportune or appropriate times: "This situation reminds me of a line from [insert title here]." I wanted them to be deliberately obscure and setting-neutral so that even lore-hawks would have no idea what I'm talking about (as neither do I). So as I got to writing, the list grew and grew to the point that I decided I'd just make it a full 100 so I could roll a percentile die and choose randomly. So, I would like to share with /r/rpg my compiled list. These are in no particular order. There are a few references to D&D-specific things and a few lame in-jokes, but most of them are purely out of my imagination and have no reference or meaning past the title. I welcome additions to this list, and you are welcome to adopt them for your own purposes, and make any alterations you wish. May they make for humorous moment or two in your games!
