The chanting is all David Nowlin, the actor who voices Sam (
and all of the Sam clones
). The texts for all of the chants were all written by Mike Stemmle, and I'm afraid you'll have to ask him about how he came up with them!
Ask and ye shall receive...
I knew I wanted the songs to be nursery rhymes and lullabies, 'cause they've been stuck in my head lately because of my baby boys (Max and Charlie, no relation to lagomoprh or demonic dummy).
When I finally got around to slapping lyrics on them, I just sat around in the office typing out glotteral replacements for the real words, then singing them out loud until they sounded "cool." I assume that Mark and Will thought I was having an "episode."

Thank you for answering!
I noticed Eternal Darkness/You Are My Sunshine, which gave me a good laugh, but I may have to go through again to pick out the rest. Come to think of it, it makes a lot of sense, considering Junior's summoning. I must have been so caught up in the experience to use common sense, haha. Cool stuff, though. Reminds me of my childhood, when I would do something similar to come up with cool-sounding spells, or what I do now when I try to fake singing lyrics. I like how the chants sound. There's a good flow to them, like some sort of apocalyptic Jabberwocky hymn.

Hey yeah! I just noticed that Eternal Darkness is that! I feel like a dope...
That thought did occur to me awhile back, but I haven't had a free moment to look into it at all. I'd certainly be happy if any or all of those tunes showed up on the Rock Band Network at some point down the line.
Oh cool, wasn't totally expecting a response here. If you don't have much time to look into it yourself, I would probably suggest licensing songs to an existing RBN author or charting group, and have them do all the hard work for you.
I'd say send an email to Ozone Entertainment (admin@theozoneradio.com), who has been working with Ron Wasserman and Eiffel 65 (he's saving "Blue" for Rock Band 3, when Keyboards will be added) and doing other pretty cool stuff. Or perhaps submit them through RockGamer Studios, who put out those two tracks from Left 4 Dead. There are quite a few other options but I could see that getting a bit overwhelming, so I just picked out a couple who would probably be reasonably well equipped to deal with the somewhat more complicated licensing of songs which were written for video games.

I have the strangest feeling that I should have noticed that, being in your signature and all.
Well, that's all I got for questions.

They're probably used to it. I bet they tune you out by now.

Middlesbrough Football Club. The town of Middlesbrough is locally known as Boro too.
Jared DID do some gem mapping for Rock Band, so that could actually happen!
I completely approve of this post.
That's good
EDIT: Oh, wait, what is Internet for? I've just found it: Forever young
