The "Summon" fad usually involves a picture of someone "summoning" a fire spirit into existence. The fire spirit often appears between the person's hands. The original was "{{ytmnd|goresummon|Al Gore Summons a Fire Spirit!!!!!}}" by Phange and did not feature ''[[w:The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (film)|The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers]]'' film trailer score now associated with the "summoning" YTMNDs. The fad truly took off two months later, with the creation of "Kerry Summons a Fire Spirit" by paphan, which for the first time utilized the trailer music (a re-orchestrated version of the musical theme from the film ''[[w:Requiem for a Dream|Requiem for a Dream]]'') in the "summoning" context.

Used Music:

The "Summon" fad usually involves a picture of someone "summoning" a fire spirit into existence. The fire spirit often appears between the person's hands. The original was "Al Gore Summons a Fire Spirit!!!!!" by Phange and did not feature The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers film trailer score now associated with the "summoning" YTMNDs. The fad truly took off two months later, with the creation of "Kerry Summons a Fire Spirit" by paphan, which for the first time utilized the trailer music (a re-orchestrated version of the musical theme from the film Requiem for a Dream) in the "summoning" context.

Music Choices

The Two Towers trailer theme wasn't the only popular choice of music for the fad. Many other tracks were used, the most popular including:

"Navras" - Juno Reactor vs. Don Davis

"Crimson Tide" - Hans Zimmer

"Escape" - Craig Armstrong

All three tracks were included on the YTMND Soundtrack. Incidentally, The Two Towers trailer music later resurfaced as "Requiem for a Tower", which was also included on Volume 5. "Navras" is on Volume 5, "Roll Tide" on Volume 3, and "Escape" on Volume 2).
