Well, I got Bored again... so a Poll! A 'What Kind of Music would the PotC!Boys like? Poll'

[pearly_dreams]

It was going to be some tattoo pics and a random ficlet-thingie relating to it, but ACDC does funny things to one's head...

Yes, I'm nosy, and yes, I need something better to do with my time. Blame the ACDC music in an empty house... and the last question needn't actually be answered beyond selecting fave characters, if you don't want to. But you do

Tee!! I love all the random fannish stuff you come up with

[pearly_dreams]

Tee!! Well, I like the songs you came up with more than mine. You actually justify them. (actually between you and me and whoever else reads this thread, I kind of walked myself into a corner there, since I never really remember the names to songs... and I know next to nothing about the rap scene)

And an Elizabeth song!! Squee! DOUBLE cookies and a Krispy Kreme donut for you!! And your ice cream, of course.

[queenofspades89]

*runs around in a giant squeeing mass* Music + PotC = YES!

Also, why wasn't Broadway a category? I get the feeling that Will and James get together to listen to the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack from time to time. ;)

...I think that thought came into my head because I'm listening to "Too Darn Hot" from Kiss Me, Kate right now. I'll pin this one on Jack, because it's about sex, and lack thereof. ;)

[pearly_dreams]

*snickers* Possibly because I don't listen to much Broadway. But yeah, Will and James definitely do. Definitely. Of course, whether or not they get through the entire soundtrack is questionable.

Yeah. That's a Jack Song alright. But so's this one. (30,000 Pounds of Bananas - Henry Chapin) simply because it's so dang ODD.

[queenofspades89]

I don't listen to much Broadway either, but I have friends who are musical freaks and that song from Kiss Me, Kate was on so...my mind went places.

If they don't get through the entire soundtrack, it's only because they couldn't resist the urge to get up and act it out (James is the Phantom, Will is Christine, of course) and eventually they got around to that "Don Juan" song or whatever with all the sexin' and...well...you can guess what happened.

Will: *sings a soprano voice* Have you gorged yourself at last in your lust for blood? Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh?!

XD This is the only time having friends obsessed with PotO has come in handy.

[pearly_dreams]

Ah. I getcha. Happens sometimes, that. (Minds going places, mine often vacates to Spain.)

Yeah. Basically. That's what I was implying. Of course, I don't know the PotO that well soo... yesh. Exactly.

James: *tackles and kisses breathless*

Lol!!

[queenofspades89]

I'm no Phan, but I think the Don Juan bit mostly goes like this...

The Phantom: *sekritly onstage, sexin' Christine*
Christine: *enjoys it*
The Phantom: *sings about sex very thinly disguised by metaphor*
Christine: *continues being molested in front of a large audience*
The Po-Po: He's the Phantom! Arrest him!
The Phantom: Oshit! *poofs down a trap door, taking Christine with him*
Christine: 'Kay, can we get to the actual sex now?

;)

James and Will: *gettin' it ON*
The Phantom: Are they in my swan bed?

[pearly_dreams]

LOL!!!

That's awesome. ^^

[queenofspades89]

ILS SONT LE PO-PO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, there I go with those inside jokes again. XD

[pearly_dreams]

I get the 'Ils sont' part, but.... le po-po?? o.O

xDD S'alright, luv, you just keep on going.

[queenofspades89]

Oh, right. You're Canadian. You (stereotypically, of course) speak French.

Well, it was a merger of traditional French and American slang. "The po-po" is a somewhat southern bit of slang for "the police."

So, to include the earlier grammatical lesson of "gangster" vs. "gangstah"...a sentence with "po-po" might be something like this...

Gangstah 1: Oh, shit! The po-po!
Gangstah 2: Damn!

Translation

Gangster 1: Oh, dear, I fear that the authorities are approaching in order to reprimand us!
Gangster 2: Indeed. Shall we vacate the premise?

BTW, dear -- this is a gangster. This is a gangstah. ^.^

[pearly_dreams]

It is our other official language. xDD And everyone learns it in elementary school. Than almost always in jr. high school (unless you want to learn Mi'kmaq or some other native tongue). Then its optional in high school. Only Quebec has a really high percentage of French speakers. Wait- I shouldn't say that. Nova Scotia/New Brunswick have a pretty good Acadian community as well. I think almost any native Canadian would know what "Ils sont" means though. ;D

Hmm. Interesting.

Verrrrry interesting.

Should I have given those Gangster's British accents in my head? xP

LOL!! Love the barbie!!

[queenofspades89]

Ah...I took a semester of French Freshman year and then reverted back to Spanish because I wasn't learning anything. To this day, the only thing I can say in French is "Je suis cannadienne." Which, I'm not. So it's not very helpful.

Um...British...Italian...you choose...;)

Gangstah Barbie is something to be feared, my friend.

[pearly_dreams]

Lol!! What about "Je t'aime" or "J'adore"? Surely you must know those. ^^ I've always figured that Spanish/French are close enough that someone fluent in one could pick up the other fairly easy. I could be wrong of course but, hey, whatever. You COULD say "Je suis american" or "Je suis anglais" since "anglais" refers to any English-speaking person, not just people from England.

Yeah. From the pic it seems like it would be Italian, but I only think British...

No kidding. *shudders*

[queenofspades89]

No, but I do have a pajama top that says "Je t'aime." ^.^ As someone's who's tried both Spanish and French, I don't recall them being all that similar. Mostly because the general pronunciation rule in Spanish is "pronounce every letter" wheras the general rule for French is "prounouce all but the last five or six letters." If you're *really* sophisticated, you won't pronounce *any* of the letters and you'll have a very eloquent conversation of silence.

*snork*

[pearly_dreams]

Really? Interesting. I suppose I was thinking along more etymological lines, since I don't speak Spanish... hmm. Interesting.

Je t'aime - I love you - directly translated "I you'love", the "t'" being a thingie for "tu".

That line deserves an icon. "the general rule for French is "prounouce all but the last five or six letters." If you're *really* sophisticated, you won't pronounce *any* of the letters and you'll have a very eloquent conversation of silence." - definitely icon worthy.
