My Gift is My Song
AND THESE ARE FOR YOOOOUUUU!!!
Yeah, basically I decided to docherryfeather's music meme, but instead of opening it up for comments I was too impatient and just made some playlists for the people I thought were most likely to comment. If I have misjudged you by not making one for you, and you feel hurt and offended, I can whip you up a coupla songs right nicely! RIGHT NICELY I SAY!!!
Here were the original instructions that I mangled so efficiently:
Ever wondered what I think of you musically? Ok, no one has ever wondered that, but forging bravely onward! Here's a way to find out. Have me make playlists just for you. Here's how.
1. Reply to this post and I will make you a 10 song playlist from my iTunes library.
2. If you like the list, I'll send you the songs that you don't have.
3. They can be any songs that I relate to you. That doesn't necessarily mean your favourite song but songs that make me think of you. I'll include a sentence or two, telling you why I picked that song.
4. No more than 2 songs by the same artist.
5. When I'm done, I'll save the playlists on my iTunes/iPod under your name and think of you when I play it.
6. If you get a playlist from me, repost this and do it for your friends!
I tried to make it 10, but ended up getting a little carried away, so it's more like.... 15. Or so. And I tried to stay AWAY from the incredibly obvious and put as few Fabulous Musical Numbers in as possible. I pretty much failed miserably, but N E WAYS:
Ann:
Birdhouse in Your Soul - They Might Be Giants
For the pure genius that is Pushing Daisies.
Cherry Pie - Warrant
Songs about pies have a whole new significance now.
Danger! High Voltage - Electric Six
Why is this song so great? WHY?
Experimental Film - They Might Be Giants
Yeah! You’re all gonna be in this
experimental film
Its about a young artiste trying to make it in the world. Like you!
Fit as a Fiddle (And Ready for Love) - Singin’ in the Rain
The slashiest song in the movie, unfortunately.
Flathead - The Fratellis
Well just because she feeds me well
and she made me talk dirty in a pink hotel
doesn’t mean she’s got eyes for me
she might just want my bones, you see.
This song is all about beating people up, so I thought you’d relate
Fresh Prince of Bel Air Theme - Will Smith
Chillin’ out maxin, relaxin’ all cool and all shootin’ some b-ball outside Hogwarts school
Grace Kelly - Mika
This song basically encapsulates Essence of Ann Ukazu. I think it might be something to do with the dude at the beginning who says “The last time we talked, Mr. Smith you reduced me to tears.” And then at the end: “Humphrey! We’re leaving!” Also, it’s one of the greatest songs in the world. So.
My Tiger My Heart - The Boy Least Likely To
I think it’s about the Dark Side of Calvin & Hobbes. I was weirded out too, but then... the brilliance hit me.
Paint it Black - Rolling Stones
We need a new Emo song, other than CRAWLING IN MY SKINNNN!!!
Somewhere Beyond the Sea - Frank Sinatra
In honor of magnificent asses. Also, he yelps. Several times in fact.
That’s Amore - Dean Martin
I need you to sing this song extremely loudly some day in English class. Like… TODAY!
Tribute - Tenacious D
If you haven’t met Tenacious D yet, go kill yourself right now. You will love this person.
Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
WHIP-CRACK went his Whoopy tail,
And the beast was done.
He asked us: "*snort* Be you angels?"
And we said, "Nay! WE ARE BUT MEN."
Rock!
Uneasy Rider - The Charlie Daniels Band
This is what would happen if you or I walked into a bar in Jackson, Mississippi.
Voodoo Child - Jimi Hendrix
Jimi Hendrix will have all my babies some day. I think you should be exposed to him.
Liz:
Somehow, most of these songs ended up being ones that would inspire some seriously amazing fanfiction.
All These Things That I’ve Done - The Killers
I got soul, but I’m not a soldier.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I don’t know, but I think it’s very important. I think you can figure it out.
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life- Monty Python
Whenever life gets you down, such as when you wear nonsensical t-shirts involving cows in front of Smexy French exchange students, just think of this song!
Anarchy in the UK - The Sex Pistols
I don’t know if you know The Sex Pistols, but if you don’t, they will make your life better. You know pretty much everything there is to know about England. But until you know the Sex Pistols, you cannot attain Nirvana. Listen. Learn.
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - The Stolen Sweets
Sweet Jazzy trio, they have like a modern 20s sound. You vill like, yars?
Fool on the Hill - The Beatles
The fool on the hill
sees the sun going down
and the eyes in his head
see the world spinning ‘round.
Even though society sucks, you’ve still got this guy on a hill. So that’s something.
For The Girl - The Fratellis
This song is about the best and the worst relationship ever. The plot bunnies will flock to you.
He’s Evil - The Kinks

He’s got taste, manners and grace, but when he gets rough he’ll slit your face.

I Want You to Want Me - Letters to Cleo
For love-hate relationships!
London Calling - The Clash
From an Anglo to an Anglophile. X)

This song reminds me of Nine and Rose at the end of the Universe. This one's for introducing me to Doctor Who, which, by the way, I can NEVER NEVER EVER repay you for. XDDDD
Sun Hits the Sky - Supergrass
OMFG ITS ABOUT THE DOCTORRR!!! I THINK!!
The Killing Moon - Echo and the Bunnymen
This is the best Remus Lupin song out there. Trust me, I’ve looked. In memory of Wolf’s Bane, and the weirdest and best coincidence of my life. :DDD
Trains to Brazil - The Guillemots

For my favorite ADD 3rd grader! X)

This girl, Chelsea Dagger, reminds me A LOT of you. Like, an incredible amount. Not quite sure why, but it's kind of amazing.

When you’re dancing slowly stuck in your sleep
The boys get lonely after you leave
Its one for the Dagger and another for the one you believe!

Spice up your life - Spice Girls
BUT DON’T FORGET THE IMPORTANCE OF GIRL POWER!!!
Take it Off - The Donnas

Andy, You’re A Star - The Killers
It’s about how in high school the lead singer had a crush on the quarterback. The lead singer. Brandon Flowers. NOW you are getting it. X)

For those sultry Southern nights here in H-town. Because we have those.

If any of ya'll fools don't have some kind of file sharing program, I'd be MORE THAN HAPPY to send you these songs. In fact, I insist on it! I spent like 3924082 hours doing this (I was bored to hell, but still!) and I want you to listen to them! DAMNIT!
In other recent news, David Tennant and Doctor Who (the show) recently lost the Kid's Choice Awards for Best Actor (TV) and best TV Show to Zac Efron and Drake & Josh, respectively. It is times like these when I remember that kids are idiots. *shakes fist* I HOPE YOU NEVER GET THE VOTE!
