A Sideshow Bob FanMix
This was made in response to a challenge at singustosleep, and I'm posting it a little early because otherwise I'll forget and it'll never get posted. Also, I'm impatient when it comes to sharing things I made.
It's a mix in honor of one of my favorite villains ever, Sideshow Bob on the Simpsons, voiced by Kelsey Grammar. The cover art theme was "monochromatic," so that should explain that. I absolutely adore this mix, all of it, which is kind of rare for when I put a mix together. Usually I love half or most of the songs, and the rest are just on there because they fit so well, not because I particularly like them.
No One Who Speaks German Could Be An Evil Man: A Robert Underdunk Terwilliger FanMix
Track List and Info:
Make 'Em Laugh: Joseph Gordon Levitt
This is from his SNL monologue, and I thought ti worked well because you can hear the audience, and SNL cast members have little interludes, and it's just very obvious that it's a performance, much like the many many performances Sideshow Bob did with Krusty, where he was always the one being shot out of a cannon or punched in the face.
Why Can't the English: Rex Harrison
Yep, from My Fair Lady. Sideshow Bob is a very articulate, well spoken, intelligent man, and he does not suffer fools (in grammar) gladly. Usually it is his downfall, like in that episode where he wanted to look up 'hoisted with his own petard' on the computer and then everything exploded.
Officer Krupke: West Side Story Cast
Sideshow Bob has had a billion run-ins with the law, and even though he's always carted off to prison, it's clear that law enforcement is bumbling and incompetent, and usually not the ones that successfully apprehend him. No, that would usually be Bart and Lisa.
What's Opera, Doc: Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd
Guys. Bugs Bunny. Elmer Fudd. In costume. Wagner. SERIOUSLY. Is there anything better? It's the entire six minute cartoon, with lots of operatic singing and awesomeness. And the "KILL THE WABBIT" bit totally captures the nature of Bob's obsession with killing the boy.
Springtime for Hitler: The Producers (2005)
Remember when Bob became mayor? And he said that America's conscience forced it to vote Democrat, but secretly, America wanted a politician that brutalized criminals and legislated morality and ruled them like a KING. Bahahahaha. How well does this song fit that? He really is Springfield's little dictator but with hilariously terrible results.
What Kind of Fool Am I: Sammy Davis, Jr.
There had to be one song like this. It's the rules, you guys. The rules of fanmixing. Bob hasn't been very successful in love and has always been alone, and who knows, that may be part of the reason that he's such a basketcase all the time and so fixated on killing Bart. After all, once he falls in love and gets married, he forgets all about the Simpsons.
On An Evening in Roma: Dean Martin
I was so happy for Bob when he married that gorgeous Italian bird and had an adorable little baby and became a fine, upstanding mayor and local celebrity. I kind of hated that the Simpsons came to town and Lisa derailed everything by getting drunk. (But why does Bob wear his prison jumpsuit under his normal suit? COME ON BOB.)
BONUS: For He Is An Englishman: HMS Pinafore: Kelsey Grammar
Kelsey Grammar has a fabulous voice, doesn't he? It took me FOREVER to realize that was him. Like, embarrassingly wrong. This 30-second clip is probably my favorite one of Bob's songs on the show.
I hope you enjoyed this, and many many thanks to taintedlove for telling me to join the fanmix challenge forum she co-runs. :D Awesome challenge.
Cover art is in the zip, and all the songs are properly labeled with the title, artist, album name, cover, and track order, so you don't have to edit any of the tags.
