Here from a rec from Bironic, and singing along to it, having watched that episode of Buffy last night. I loved your author notes at the top, and am expecting some Wilson Swing dancing :P

[Song: The Patient (To the tune of “The Mustard.”)]
CAMERON (turns a cartwheel, sings):
The patient’s still okay!
*cracks up*

The Wilson/Tara number made the HW girl in me weep with joy. It was wonderful. Favourite line was: "but on relfection / 'twas mutual connection"

Ditto: "We’re both screwed up but still we fit.". Ah, squee.

I love the House verse of "Half drink, and half narcotic haze", I think it fits the original rhythm perfectly.

FELLOWS:
We have been here all night working.
Does anybody even care?*Cracks up* No

The summary came with the prompt--the one I wrote was used as an LJ cut--but I found it funny myself

Well a kiss is certainly a way of distracting Wilson! :P

I don't know, it seems a common line in fic to have him lured away from work by the line "you have a hole department which are going to ground to a halt if you're not there?". I've always seen him as an equal to House, in a way, so never thought he was a fellow. But you're right: with a plot which centres around House, to have a character appear they need to be near him. He's usually working in his office in the evenings though, and I think he's been more hands on throughout season 3.

Well, to be fair to Tara, she let off the green sparkles, which are slightly less emasculating than the pink sparkles of Willow. Then again, I've always thought that the Xander/Anya song was more sappy, but perhaps I'm just not too fond of it.
Syllable counts! Iii, I admire how well you've tried to stick to the original song. I think that the extra care on that number really comes through, and it works brilliantly. The question is - can you listen to the originals without smiting their tricky

You're right in your point re. Wilson--he is more hands-on now, and I wasn't taking the evenings into account (probably because House usually pops in to interrupt, so how much can he really be getting done?). And he is set up to be the closest House has to an equal--which isn't appreciated sufficiently in fic. He's more intelligent than he's given credit for

Fair enough, the existence of sparkles in themselves makes the Tara song sappier than the X/A song.
And you have a point about Wilson in the evenings: I guess the department lives in hope that he gets enough done before the interruptions! I agree with you, I don't think House would have kept him so close were he less than intelligent in his own right, I mean, he can bounce ideas off the fellows.
I'm never going to be able to say "the fellows", without reverting into remarkably dated British slang. Ah well, they'll just have to be ducklings.

I think that obsessive efforts are rather hard to beat: you give in and you have to work extra hard, you don't give in, and then you'll never be content with what you've done. It's definitely paid off here though! A great start to the community.
