O Woe is Cat!

Alas! Alack! Something really exasperating has just occurred! Oh what calumny, etcetera!

I have in the past commented on my Demon!iPod, which reads my thoughts and then shuffles THE PERFECT song into my ear-holes to accompany the musing. Well, just now I was thinking of this pair of awesome manips I saw on merlinxarthur [wtf? THREE amazing manips in three days? Does karma owe me some money or something?? What the hell's going to pop up tomorrow! :O]  the_last_shadow who posted/made them, was saying that she originally made them with the intention of making a Merlin/Arthur vid, but now reckoned she wouldn't, and so would anyone else like to use them. UPSHOT, I was thinking, 'oh, what a shame they're not in a vid anywhere, if only I knew how to vid/had a good Merlin/Arthur song to vid to' AND THIS WAS WHEN MY BLOODY DEMON-IPOD STUCK IT'S BLEEDIN' NOSE IN. It threw me this painfully juicy bone:

Bewitched, by Rufus Wainwright. 

He's a fool and don't I know it
[so, this one's self-explanatory, isn't it? ^_^]
But a fool can have his charms
I'm in love, and don't I show it?
Like a babe in arms

Love's the same old sad sensation
Lately I've not slept a wink
[Arthur in his bed that one time when he had to call Merlin to go and get the noise level lowered]
Since this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
[Cue shmoozy slomo of Merlin here! ^_^]

I'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

[Segue to Merlin's POV]
Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep
When love came and told me, I shouldn't sleep
[being woken by the slash!dragon XDD]
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

Lost my heart, but what of it
He is cold, I agree
[Arthur being a prat in some way]
He can laugh, but I love it
Although the laugh's on me
[I thought the shovin' buddies moment at the end of The Lady o the Lake *wuv*]

I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And long for the day when I'll cling to him
[The Not-Hug here ^_^]
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
[I'm picturing some cracky shots of Merlin pulling 'wtf?!' faces on each of those 'twings' of piano, lol ^_^']

After one whole quart of brandy
Like a daisy, I'm awake
[Merlin drinking from the poison cup? waking up, either then or that time Arthur set him to guard-duty and he fell asleep ^_^]
With no Bromo-Seltzer handy
I don't even shake

Men are not a new sensation
I've done pretty well I think
[Quick Montage! of Will, Lancelot, Gwaine, etcetera >:D]
But this half-pint imitation [Arthur!]
Put me on the blink

[Back to Arthur POV!]
I've sinned a lot, I'm mean a lot
[Him being a prat again. Possibly forcing Merlin to eat rat?? Cuz, uh, yehthatwashot >__<.]
But I'm like sweet seventeen a lot
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And worship the trousers that cling to him
[Shot of Arthur shirtless. Y'know, just for good measure??]
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

When he talks, he is seeking
Words to get off his chest
[Angsty shots of Arthur - maybe TRYING to tell Merlin he loves him but only managing to come out with 'wisdom'. *rolleyes*]
Horizontally speaking, he's at his very best
[Shot of Merlin sleeping/one of the many times he's been thrown on his back and looked all spent and shaggable >:D]

Vexed again,
[Angry!Arthur, probably shouting 'SHUT UP, MERLIN!']
Perplexed again
[Confused!Arthur, possibly waking up after being 'knocked out' by Merlin XDD]
Thank God, I can be oversexed again
[Either stick manips in here or have that shot of Merlin, dressed up like a dork, and Arthur giving him the eye. Either that or a crack-tastic cut to Merlin kneeling in front of Arthur, in the woods that one time. Or when Arthur was trying to tell him to bugger off so he could spend time with Gwen but what it ACTUALLY looked like was 'hey, Merlin, let's sneak off for a quickie.' Basically, half the show, okay??]
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
[A-nd a lovely slo-mo - that last shovin'-buddies moment on the steps from the finale - slowed down to match the piano winding down. *sigh*]
IT . IS. PERFECT. 
Right down to Merlin's alleged inability to handle his drink!
*bursts into tears* Why?! WHY, Ipod?? *wails, enough to rival even Leon's Big No* Why did you have to remind me of that song's existence?? You delight in torturing me!!  >:OO *sobs & hiccups brokenly*

BUT! On the upside: nother addition to already-gargantuan Merlin Playlist. So yeah - swings and roundabouts.

[In other news; been thinking of my proposal for The Comedy of Errors/Romeo & Romeo a lot. It's pathetically fun. ^_^' I'm at that stage where ideas are starting to sort of sidle up to me, trying not to be noticed, and I daren't look directly at them in case they vanish. ^_^' *is peculiar*] 

rec, fanfic, personification, bla, vid-song, demon ipod
