How about this:
Denon's Dance of Death
Level: 45
Skill: Singing
Description: Using the bards natural acting abilities the bard feigns
death fooling the opposition into thinking he is dead. This is more of a
skill and not a song, it has the usual 3 second casting time.
* - We are a bard, we can sing, dance, act etc. But why do we only get the
musical talents and not the other stuff. This would be a nice addition to
our skills and will certainly reduce the number of bard deaths. I can just
imagine a bard getting scratched by a monster and saying "Oh, you fiend you
scratched me" <the bard faints>
Ideally this song/skill should of come in the mid teens/early twenties but
I would settle for this at 45.

Good points Adam ;)
But:

if
>>> some look silly =]
I agree it looks like there wasn't much thought put into some of these.
Can we say "Desperate for ideas"? Thought we could ;)
I think we should make our song suggestions to GZ REALLY good. Because my
guess is he's gonna do basically whatever we give him (with a tweak here or
there). I know my creative ideas are pretty much strained when trying to
think of NEW things to do with a bard song. I'm SURE his are, he has to
come up with new spells for 9 classes ;)
