It is 11:54 where I live, so I still had 6 minutes!!
I am bad with deadlines, but I made this one! Sort of!
Only I was supposed to do a photomanip but then I decided to break ALL the rules and did whatever the heck this is instead. I was also planning to make a cover for the part that's about both of them... but then I gave up in utter frustration:
(I did not do the Shia manip, but it pretty much blinds me with horror every time so I had to use it because it is so freaking funny)
So, first of all, I want to establish a few facts:
1. David is Jesus 2.0. Fight it all you want (why, God, why?) but it is still the truth. If it wasn't true, he wouldn't have a Church (I'm lazy, so it's pretty un-updated, but its existence is enough proof here) and he wouldn't look like this in the morning glow of the sun:
Also, I am pretty bummed I couldn't find any Jesus Christ: Superstar songs on my computer, even though I know they are there somewhere. D:
2. Shia/David might be the hottest hot to ever not. D: It pretty much breaks my heart every day. So when I saw that this week was supposed to be "Beyond Idol" well...how perfect is that, right?
3. I have a feeling that in this relationship, Shia could be a badass? I know very little, factually speaking, about Shia, so I kind of make it up as I go, aaaaaaand I've decided he is a P-I-M-P.
4. I am notorious amongst most of my friends for my absolutely terrible taste in music. This is fine with ME, because I love my music regardless, buuuuuut you know, fair warning about my choices, okay?
SO THAT SAID, this is about Jesus 2.0 and his P-I-M-P falling in ♥LOVE♥ ...just go with it :P
Shia
1. Cars by... someone
Some of you may remember a little thing called "Transformers." I am pretty sure this movie has imprinted a deep and possibly sexual love of cars (oh come on, the Bumblebee/Shia subtext was so obvious) on Shia.
2. Running by Jesse McCartney
THIS is Shia's idea of a song revolving around Running, which you can contrast with David's #2 :D
3. Hang On Little Tomato by Pink Martini
Okay okay, I know I said he was a PIMP, but everyone, even badasses have backstories and a childhood. Also, he may be a badass in my head for no perceivable reason whatsoever, but he seems like a really nice guy too, which is fully possible. SO, he needs to hang on, cuz he's a little tomato.
4. It's My Life by Bon Jovi
Um, because I first notice-noticed Shia in "Indiana Jones 4" and this song fits that version of Shia, more or less.
David
1. Extraordinary Machine by Fiona Apple
But I'm good at being uncomfortable, so
I can't stop changing all the time
[...]
If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine
2. Running by David Archuleta ♥
See Shia's #2 for comparison.
3. Life Is a Flower by Ace of Base
We live in a free world
I whistle down the wind
Carry on smiling
And the world will smile with you
Life is a flower
So precious in your hand
Carry on smiling
And the world will smile with you
4. Evergreen by Backstreet Boys
I've seen everything, I've dreamt every dream
I am every human
Oh I'm not even finished
Look how I go
Impeccable flow
wind in my face it hardly ever rains
always on top
I'm coming up
I'm everything and I am everything
I know it all don't know a thing
I am changing, still the same
I'm every color I'm every color
I am evergreen
5. Wonderboy by Tenacious D
Okay, you have to ignore the last part where they're all "we're Tenacious D"... except maybe you don't, because D could stand for David, but this is the more applicable stuff:
High above the mucky-muck, castle made of clouds,
There sits Wonderboy, sitting oh so proudly.
[...]
Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?
Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck now?
[...]
What powers you ask? I dunno, how 'bout the power of flight?
That do anything for ya? That's levitation, holmes.
How 'bout the power to kill a yak, from 200 yards away...
with mind bullets! That's telekinesis, Kyle.
How 'bout the power... to move you?
Now put them together:
Um, I have noticed that I picked some racy songs that I felt were from Shia's P-I-M-P perspective. And then half the ones I associated with David were more about David than from his perspective. So. Basically this is David from Shia's bipolar perspective? Half the time Badass Motherlover and half the time sweet and reflective, and then occasionally David throws his two cents in. YAY. \o/
~*~MANIP HERE~*~
1. How Will I Know? by Whitney Houston
The requisite 'Questioning of Love' song to begin :D
2. Hungry Like the Wolf by Duran Duran
Shia is older than David and thus more likely a product of the 80s than he is, and thus there is a chance he'd maybe remember this song. Failing that, Cook sang it that one time, so David knows it from that.
3. Hey Now by Oasis
Feel no shame - 'cause time's no chain
Feel no shame
[...]
The first thing I saw
As I walked through the door
Was a sign on the wall that read
It said you might never know
That I want you to know
What is written inside of your head
4. Halo by Beyonce
Remember those walls I built
Well baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now
BUT BASICALLY THE WHOLE THING, SERIOUSLY.
5. Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
This one is actually based on what little I know about Shia's background, so we're still looking at his perspective here :)
Pack up
I'm a stray
enough
Oh say say say you'll
Say say say you'll
Say say say you'll
Say say say you'll
Say say say..
Wait.
They don't love you like I love you
Wait.
6. Into Ya by Jesse McCartney
Let me in your brain, I'll be in your heart
I'll be that good thing, that you just can't put down
[...]
Feel like I just struck gold you a fantasy
So tell me what's the business babe
Got me about to pop, genie in a bottle
Let's make a toast cause I'm a cherish you
...the very idea of someone saying anything like that to David makes me cry laughing, true story XD
7. My Love Is For Real by Paula Abdul
I was determined to include Paula because she does not get enough respect for how awesome she is. Also, David's love is also For Real, haha. Or Shia's.
8. Lucky Love by Ace of Base
Finally one that seems pretty Davidy! But really, teenage heaven, YES.
9. You Ruined Me by JC Chasez
This was the song that we thought David would cover on his CD back in the day, but then he and JC wrote a different song instead. Still, I think David could have killed this - the passion here is amazing.
10. Stick With You by The Pussycat Dolls
♥ LOVE FOREVER ♥
BONUS
1. Mama by Spice Girls
When I was going through my music to find songs for this, I happened across "Mama" and all I could think about was Lupe/David. So. BONUS!
2. He Is Your Brother by Abba
I wanted to fit Abba into this mix and it just didn't work out, but hey, at least someone is still thinking about David/Daniel and David/Mysterious-Older-Brother
3. Mr. Roboto by Styx, I think
Basically because I think David could be a Mr. Roboto, only cooler.
