FST fun
So. This is not just a Stan/Ros FST, but also a Stan-in-general FST because I was bored. Stan/Ros songs listed first, followed by Stan songs. About 20 or so songs total. |D A few are repeats from my Stan/Goku FST, but a lot of new stuff is here too. (Additionally, if you want one of the songs for the Stan/Goku FST that isn't here, feel free to ask and I'll upload it for ya.)
Stan+Rosalyn
Not My Slave by Oingo Boingo
With everyone around telling us what to do
with deafening sound whisper "I love you."
The fire in your eyes-- may it never go out.
The sweetness of your tears make it feel like night.
I see no escape from the roles we always play
What do we have to prove on this judgement day
So, I could quote so many more lyrics from this song, because they're all so perfect. Disregarding use of the word "love." Not for Stan as he currently is--he's too immature and stubborn at the moment, and his growth is stunted because he refuses to allow himself to change until he has the security of having his full powers--BUT once he and Ros go back home, and he calms down a bit, this song is very, very fitting. This is the "fuck classification, I like you," song, as well as, "fighting with you turns my crank, so you're not allowed to surrender yet."
And. If you download only a couple songs off this FST, this is one I cannot recommend enough. When I first heard it I was kinda 'meh,' but then it ATE MY SOUL.
Violent Love by Oingo Boingo
I wanna kiss every night
To squeeze and hold you tight
I wanna make violent love to you
... Um. SHUSH I like Oingo Boingo. Anyway. This is just. Um.
... Well everything between Stan and Ros is a bit violent. |D
Tempest by Mary Prankster
Now don't go thinkin' that I'm crazy
Just because I am
'Cause I wouldn't act indifferent
If I didn't give a damn.
And if you think this kind of tempest
might just be your cup of tea
Then I'd like to offer you the heart of me.
So, yeah, a bit on the sappy side. Most of these songs are gonna be more sappy than I think they should, I guess. BUT if Stan were capable of even thinking this kind of thing, it's fitting. Secretly, Stan's pretty self-aware and knows how immature he is, and before he and Ros finally hooked up, he kinda had a paranoia that she'd want, y'know, a good guy. But hey, if Ros wants him, that's fine--and who wouldn't want the one and only Evil King Stan, ha ha ha!
I Hate Everything About You by Three Days Grace
This song works for more camp couples than it should sometimes. X3 Anyway. Do I really need a lyrics sample for this? Stan and Ros do hate things about each other--Stan hates humanity in general, and fighting for good, pfft, what the fuck is up with that. And justice? Don't get him started on that stupid stuff. But at the same time he wants Ros because she's a Hero.
Love Song by 311
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Stan hates camp. Nobody acts like he's Evil or worth the time it'd take to fear him--the few people he does scare, it's because they're easy targets, and he hates that. It used to be like that in Okage land until the Classifications got reinforced. But Ros still treats him like he's Evil and needs to be stopped, like he's a threat. And he loves her for it. IGNORE THE FILTHY LITTLE 'LOVE' WORD. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SONG DOING HERE IT'S TOO NICE.
Anyway. This is a lovely song, and I first noticed it at a wedding where it was the bride and groom's first dance. And. It's just very sweet and slow and it's a love song.
Call and Answer by Barenaked Ladies
But I'm warning you
Don't ever do
Those crazy messed up things that you do
If you ever do
I promise you
I'll be the first to crucify you
Because only Stan can kill Ros, and only she can kill Stan. And they will if the other one takes it to that level. And there are a lot of other lyrics about what's "fair" because their relationship isn't quite healthy or balanced yet, and may never get to that level, but maybe someday they'll try. Or maybe they'll kill each other, and their reincarnations won't be bound by classifications and will actually make it work out. ... Yeah that second option might be more likely. |D
This is another beautiful love song, like the one by 311 but with a very sad side to it also.
Paperweight Machines by Fluid Ounces
Can't stand to see you surrender
Sometimes the contents of your head are in a blender
You and me could be happy though the world around collapses
While we sleep here a while, our dreams are only napping
This song is pretty crazy and all over, kind of like a peek into Stan's head. Stan has plenty of conflicting thoughts and hypocrisy since he knows he has to act a certain way but he has urges that contradict what he's supposed to do. And this song comes close to that, I think, especially about how he has changed at camp but is still trying to stay the same. ... And it's about Ros being his.
Like 'Not My Slave,' if you only download a couple songs off this FST, I think this should be one of them. =]
Holding Out For A Hero by Frou Frou
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Totally stole this from Buffy. OH WELL. It's a good song. Stan's computer loves playing it at him lately. Because what's the point of being an Evil King without a Hero to fight? Also, possibly from Rosalyn's side, where she may have once thought the guy she'd end up with would be a knight on a white horse. Ha ha ha. But mostly I like it from Stan's view, the fact that Rosalyn, as the Great Hero, is the most important person in Stan's world, because she's the person he has to kill in the end.
When Goku was starting to think he didn't want to date Stan, he said that Stan hated Rosalyn more than he liked Goku, and that made Goku second best. And that's true; Rosalyn takes up all of Stan's attention, he doesn't have time to give somebody else that much of his focus.
The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny by Lemon Demon
This is the ultimate showdown
Of ultimate destiny
Good guys, bad guys and explosions
As far as the eye can see
Yeah, so really this song is just here for the title and the chorus. Because Stan and Rosalyn are supposed to fight to the death one day and have their own Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. Also I like the tune. :3
Baby's Got Back by Sir Mix-A-Lot
I like big butts and I cannot lie
You other brothers can deny
Yeah when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get SPRUNG
After Stan calls Rosalyn 'fat legs' and 'saggy butt' and 'wide-waisted washbowl woman' all the goddamn time, I shouldn't need to explain this song, but I will anyway. Stan likes the fact that Ros has some junk in her trunk! X3
Marlene on the Wall by Suzanne Vega
Other evidence has shown that you and I are still alone
We skirt around the danger zone and don't talk about it later
And I tried so hard to resist
When you held me in your handsome fist
And reminded me of the night we kissed and of why I should be leaving
Marlene watches from the wall
Her mocking smile says it all
And she records the rise and fall
Of every man who's been here
But the only one here now is me
I'm fighting things I cannot see
I think it's called my destiny and I am changing
Another "fuck classifications! I want you," song. Add in Marlene, who is an Okage character, and the idea of her watching everyone who's been there before--well, it'd be Okage spoilers if I said how that was relevant, but just know that it's pretty damn funny, the way it fits.
Automatic Girl by Lola Ray
I lick my lips just to hear the sound
I trash my room when you're not around
I don't know what has happened to me these days
But it feels like love in strangest ways
And another "let's look inside Stan's crazy head!" song. Except. That damn "love" word. Why do all these songs have to say that word, huh? Jeez.
Everything You Do by Cowboy Mouth
There's a darkness in your soul demanding imperfection
Every finger that you point will turn in your direction
Yes I hate the way I love you and I love the way you hate me
When you can barely tolerate me
I think the lyrics kinda speak for themselves. Stan and Ros constantly trying to trip each other up and loving and hating each other simultaneously. Good times.
What's Love Got To Do With It by Tina Turner
What's love got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
A little emo, but definitely Stan's disdain on the whole "love" thing.
Also. Can't you just see Stan belting this out on kareoke night? >D
BONUS:
My Oh My by Aqua
My oh my, do you wanna say goodbye?
To have the Kingdom, baby, tell me why?
My oh my,do you wanna say goodbye?
To rule the Country, baby, you and I?
Ha ha ha NO. This song does not actually fit, even if you have Stan sing the girl's part and switch the words 'King' and 'Queen'. Stan's not that clingy, REALLY.
... Shut up he's not I swear.
[and on a serious note he actually never would offer to split up ruling a kingdom with his partner. Buuuut I'm a terrible person and I just like this song.]
That's all for the Stan/Ros side! Now, check out Stan's solo album! |D
Stanley Hihat Trinidad XIV
All Star by Smash Mouth
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rule and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Much as Stan's an idiot, he does have what I consider his sensible side, in that he knows that life's for living and you should have fun while you can. This is, in fact, his reasoning for being evil, because it's so much more fun than anything else. This'll probably be the only song that's not about 'evil' somehow, but at least it covers his huge ego.
When You're Evil by Voltaire
And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
Need I say any more? I think not.
It's Not Easy Being Evil by Zorak
It's not easy being evil
But evil's what I be~
Choke on it.
Again, I don't think I need to elaborate. :3
Stan's Theme from the Okage OST
No lyrics, but what Stan FST would be complete without his signature song from the game?
The Man Who Loved The Earth/The Hand That Sold Shadows by Peter Gabriel
Another one without lyrics, but a good tune that really picks up in the second half, and with a title like that, I can't refuse. (The second part of the title, that is. The first part, eh, well.)
Devil's Nightmare by Neutrino/Oxide
I can be evil,
I can be good
But I don't know
If I really should
Be evil to those jealous
That want to
Try and intimidate me
Dare you step into my land
Come imitate me
Like a foolish man
So, some of the lyrics are a little... not my style. But the overall sound of this song, the sense of being full of yourself with confidence, and the "don't you know I will cut you" feel from it, earn a spot on this FST.
Bitches by Mindless Self Indulgence
The bitches love me 'cause the know that I can rock
The bitches love me 'cause they know that I can rhyme
The bitches love me 'cause they know that I can fuck
The bitches love me 'cause they know that I'm on time
Stan dislikes this type of music, but the lyrics are really a vulgar version of his ego. Yes, he is that full of himself.
Megalomaniac by Incubus
Hey megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Wash your hands clean of yourself baby
Maniac, step down, step down
Because Stan's ego might need to be taken down juuuust a notch.
BONUS because I miss my Linda already:
Calling You by Aqua
I-yi-yi can't get my message through
why-yi-yi don't you pick up the phone?
All my love is running down the line,
but you won't recieve it, no, no
Not sure why I picked something that's more like a Linda/Epros song, but I did. Not to say that I think Linda/Epros is doomed to be one-sided forever, but... for a bit, at least, I think they're on very different wavelengths and it'd take a while to get used to communicating with each other.
And that's all for that. Jeeeez these things take a long time to write up! And I was thinking of doing one for Pallapalla too; that might have to wait a while...
Anyway, enjoy!
Stan+Rosalyn

... Um. SHUSH I like Oingo Boingo. Anyway. This is just. Um.
... Well everything between Stan and Ros is a bit violent. |D

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
