Leader	Move with the herd!
Herd	We are tired
Leader	Move with the herd!
Herd	So tired
Leader	Move with the herd!
Herd	We need rest now Let's stay here tonight
Leader	No! Stay with the herd!
Herd	Do we have to?
Leader	Stay with the herd
Herd	Oh, woe is us!
Leader	Stay with the herd Til we find a safe place We can rest tonight!
Predator	Night is rapidly approaching The vibrant call of evening Awakening at dusk Feel a million lives depending On fast reflexes, whirling In everlasting dance Hark! The wind does carry with it The scent of many creatures A herd is on the move But the hunger growing stronger Tells me I must go hunting When finally the herd comes to a halt
Leader	Halt! Halt! I've decided that we stay here
Herd	At last some rest
Leader	Graze here
Herd	Where the grass grows in abundance Life is good at last
Leader	Huh! Eat! Sleep! Is that all that you can think of?
Herd	That sounds good to us
Leader	Danger May come velvet-paws in darkness, kill you I will stand on guard
Predator	Guarded by nothing more than their swiftness Easily panicked, herd-born prey There they are with their scent to beguiling Born to die so I can live Now attack! Feel the rhythm of the hunt now Claws and fangs will rend the herd Scatter like dandelions in summer The fear of the unknown driving them on!
Announcer	Will this all end in tragedy? Will the predator fail in his desperate hunt? Is the herd really toast? Will our hero prevail? Which one is our hero anyway? Find out at the Furry Music Café at the next Eurofurence… But first a message from the herd…
Herd	We are the herd! Can you sing this? We are the herd! Come join us! We are the herd! When together we can be strong and dumb! Come, join the herd! We do need you! Come, join the herd! And see the world! Come, join the herd! Maybe you'll survive singing this song with us!

Job announcements

Missing: Herd

The more the merrier. Choir experience is not really necessary, as long as you can hold the tune together with the rest of the herd (if you can do the herd parts in the intro, you can do the rest too). You will doubtlessly be following totally ludicrous orders and being led into danger by the leader and lieutenants. You may panic as soon as the others do. Join the herd and see the world!

Range: Any. It's got a rather comfortable range that should suit all voices. Bass (Eb2 to D3), Tenor (Eb3 to D4), Alto (Eb4 to D5) (C4 is middle-C)

Special job perks: A day at work will entail eating, sleeping, moving around and not having to think about what happens next.

Herd Leader wanted!

The position requires a large responsibility for the herd, keeping them safe and thinking for them. Your ideal attributes would be: strong-willed and strong-voiced and not being afraid of solo parts. A stubbornly and stolidly acted personality without any particular team skills whatsoever is definitely a plus.

Range: Baritone or Low Tenor (? to G4) (C4 is middle C)

Special job perks: You get the first pick during meals and mating season. You also get to make all the really bad decisions and still get away with it.
