"Misalliance" by Flanders and Swann

Heh -- I love that song, but I wouldn't have a clue how to write a songfic based on it!

[astrogirl2]

Oh, I think it'd make a great metaphor for any number of doomed interspecies love affairs. :)

[kerravonsen]

Ah, so that's what you had in mind. That makes sense.

Heh, did you have any particular world-dictator in mind? 8-)

[jhall1]

I'm sure there are any number of SF and fantasy settings that it could be tranposed to.

[kerravonsen]

"When in Rome," by Nickel Creek.

Intriguing.

Extraordinary Machine," by Fiona Apple.

Thoughtfully paradoxical in parts...

I think they both have the theme of... nonconforming individuality.

[izhilzha]

nonconforming individuality.

*eyes lyrics* Hmmm. That's kind of true, isn't it? Cool. :-)

(I call "Extraordinary Machine" Vala's song...I know you haven't seen seasons 9 & 10, but it's totally her, or even her & Daniel.)

[izhilzha]

Since you made that change in number of fandoms we can write, may I add CSI: Las Vegas to mine?

Are you willing to write a backup story? sure, why not?

[mistraltoes]

Hm. That's eighty-five words a week. If I can't manage that, I suppose I should just quit altogether. So I guess I'm in.

Lyric Set 1: Nirvana, Come As You Are
Lyric Set 2: Depeche Mode, The Love Thieves
Are you willing to write a backup story? Assuming I'm done with the first one, yes.

[kerravonsen]

Nirvana, Come As You Are

(scratches head) I don't understand that song.

Depeche Mode, The Love Thieves

Hmmm, that sort of makes me think of Servalan...

[mistraltoes]

[Nirvana, Come As You Are]

(scratches head) I don't understand that song.

I don't think many people do. When I was looking for the lyrics, I ran across a discussion thread with people claiming it's about accepting others. But I, based on the lyrics and delivery, think it's an extremely hostile song about the singer's response to betrayal. But the guy who wrote it killed himself, so I guess we'll never know. :-P

[Depeche Mode, The Love Thieves]

Hmmm, that sort of makes me think of Servalan...

Reminds me of Avon, or more properly Paul Darrow, so I guess that's a pretty close reaction.

[mistraltoes]

You can add Buffy, SG-1, and Red Dwarf to my 'can write' list, if it helps any. Though it's more 'will' than 'can'. ;-)
