that better be a spanner in your pocket.
A little something extra for those who've already seen this on hitman_reborn:
I don't mean to make you come across that way, Spanner, you just do. You JUST DO.
Mika - Lollipop
Sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh, love's gonna get you down
... This one's pretty self-explanatory.
The next song's from devicing's awesome Reborn FST, and it was the first song I thought of when I read that latest Reborn chapter:
Irving - I Want to Love You In My Room
I want to love you in my room
I want to take off all your clothes
I want to see you in the day time
I want to see you in my room
One day I will stop making these cracks about Spanner's disturbing penchant for clothes removal, but not just yet.
Before canon pre-empts me I'm going to hit the ground running:
Warning: Spoilers, Groundless Speculation, and A Distinct Lack of Taking Things Seriously
(Spoilers for Reborn Chapters 181 - 187)
A Spanner/Tsuna FST
DL: He Blinded Me With Science
is that a spanner in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
.001 - I’m Your Villain - Franz Ferdinand
I know what I am
I'm your villain
I don't give a damn if
I'm your villain
If I could laugh I'd love you
If I could smile at anything you said
If I could love I'd love you
If I could love like anybody else
Even if Intercept Sawada Tsunayoshi was his agenda, it seems like Spanner's got another of his own.
.002 - Every Breath You Take - Sting
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Because I had to throw in the Ultimate Stalker Song. Tsuna fascinates Spanner. So he's got every reason to keep a real close watch on everything Tsuna does.
.003 - Flash Gordon Theme - Queen
He's a miracle
King of the impossible
He's for every one of us
Stand for every one of us
What do you mean Flash Gordon approaching?
Open fire! All weapons!
Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!
Gordon's alive!
Just a man
With a man's courage
You know he's
Nothing but a man
And he can never fail
No one but the pure at heart
May find the Golden Grail
A blast from the past: though the Flash Gordon dates back to over fifty years ago, it's the song that plays in my head during the Tsuna vs Strau Mosca fight. It's a song for the heroes and the fight against impossible odds.
Also, it cracked me up.
.004 - Passive - A Perfect Circle
Ever the optimistic one
I'm sure of your ability
To become my perfect enemy
Leaning over you here
Cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection
Of what you could and might have been
It's your right and your ability
To become my perfect enemy
Tsuna makes a fascinating opponent.
Especially when he doesn't quit, doesn't stop adapting, and kicks major ass.
.005 - Ayo Technology - 50 Cent feat. Justin Timberlake
This a new age, you like my new craze
Let's get together maybe we can start a new phase
Why don't you come over here, you got me saying
I'm tired of using technology
There comes a time when staring at the object of your highly scientific fascination through the Strau Moscas' computer screens just won't be enough.
.006 - Clothes Off! - Gym Class Heroes
The way you stole my attention was flat out burgulary
What do you say let's exit stage left
Because this, and the song's title, was clearly what went through Spanner's mind when he took Tsuna home.
.007 - Somebody Watching Me - The Royal Gigolos
All I want is to be left alone
In my average home
But why do I always feel
Like I'm in the twilight zone
I always feel like
Somebody's watching me
Who's playing tricks on me
A side-effect of being Sawada Tsunayoshi is the occasional enemy developing an intense fascination with you.
For reference, see just about everybody from Gokudera Hayato to Rokudo Mukuro.
.008 - Wake Me Up - Norah Jones
Wake me up when it's over,
Wake me up when it's done,
When he's gone away and taken everything,
Wake me up.
But don't shake me awake,
Don't bend me or I will break,
Come find me somewhere between my dreams,
With the sun on my face.
I will still feel it later on,
But for now I'd rather be asleep.
.009 - You Know My Name - Chris Cornell
When the storm arrives, would you be seen with me?
By the merciless eyes of deceit?
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
And if you think you've won
You never saw me change
The game that we all been playing
I've seen diamonds cut through harder men
Than you yourself
But if you must pretend
You may meet your end
Somewhere in between the orders to eliminate Tsuna and Tsuna's defeat of the King Mosca (or maybe before then), the rules changed.
And also because in Spanner's world, introductions happen after you've fought Tsuna, been fascinated by him, taken him home, and made off with his clothes.
.010 - Baby, You Freak Me Out - Doc Horror
You're out of your mind
That's what I like about you.
Because what else are you supposed to feel when someone knocks you unconscious; and you wake up to find yourself handcuffed, in nothing but your boxers?
.011 - Promiscuous - Nelly Furtado
Wait! I don't mean no harm
I can see you with my T-shirt on
I can see you with nothing on
Well, it is completely canon.
.012 - Stronger - Kanye West
Work it harder, make it better,
do it faster, makes us stronger,
more than ever, never over,
Our work here is never over
Now that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger
I must admit, if I had my target handcuffed and largely undressed in my quarters, working on his techniques might not have been the first thing on my mind, but then again, I'm not Spanner.
.013 - Geek Love - Nerina Pallot
This isn't a game, this isn't a test.
But I know that perplexity's a wonderful thing,
It's a sudden found joy, the strangeness it brings...
So hey, you, could you give it a rest?
Just take me home and get me undressed,
Put on a fire and make it enough,
Oh, we're geeks, but we know this is love.
There's your happy ending!
... until the next manga chapter.
I don't mean to make you come across that way, Spanner, you just do. You JUST DO.
