This tune isn't quite finished yet but I was wondering if you could help me name it. Have a listen, it's quite clearly about someone riding a camel with vim at sunset over the desert and into Egyptian Hell.
I didn't think that "Riding a Camel over the desert into Egyptian Hell" was that catchy a title though. So at first I thought maybe I could call it "Thrust of the War Camels" - a bit like "Charge of the Light Brigade" except without copying the word "charge," and also involving camels. I realised this might invoke some puerile response though, and I take my work ever so seriously.
So then I thought, well, what's the name of Egyptian Hell? It turns out it's called "The Tuat." Ponder if you will the title "Thrust into The Tuat"...
So then I thought of the Egyptian God of Hell - Osiris. We can't thrust into him though, so I came up with "Escape from Osiris". At last, a vaguely reputable sounding title. And yet... now the tune is labelled as being about running away from something rather than charging something! This will never do.
What do you think I should call it?
Also, do I need help and can anyone recommend a good doctor?
@Moot, my tunes are hyperbolic. They need a super-awesome hyperbolic title!
@Tech, I don't think I'm qualified to call my tune "Islamic Megaman" because I've never played Megaman. In the chiptune world I realise this is a transgression of the highest magnitude. Oh well.
C'mon guys, I was expecting some witty responses to this!

As for a name... well, I'm not the best for these decisions (unless you count "FUCK YEAH RACE CARS" as a good song title,) but "Pyramid Panic" came to mind.
"The Olympic Demon Camel Al-Qaeda Triathlon Debacle of 2012"
"Baby Discovers Legs Enable An Efficient Means of Moving from One Place to Another"
"Oliver Cromwell Fell Down The Well" (aka) "Lassie Was A Rolling Stone"
"Slobberhouse 5"
"Two Tickets To Pair Of Dice, WTF Am I Supposed To Do Now, Sammy?"
"I Took A Camel Tranquilizer, but The Camel Fell Alseep"
"Bryant Gumbel"
"Knick-Knack, Paddy-Whack, Camel"
also,
"My Neck, My Back, The Tuat"
There's an albums worth of seriously compelling titles. Obviously, I've spent a great deal of time and effort coming up with them.
They are my free gift to you, good people of FT forum.
