So once upon a time,
sparrowlove meme'd me for five songs that screamed, "Tip the DJ, these songs are totally Ryan!" And you guys, FOLKS, pardon the fanshrieking and apparently deluded confession I am about to make, but if the So You Think You're a Psychic? hotline actually existed, the person on the other end would be telling me this very instant via MINDWAVES that I must have channeled some Office writers voodoo for one of the song selections because just look at
After Every Party I DieI am X
You're living but you've got no soul
You captivate but you hold no weight at all
So watch as I start to smile
You’re dumber than you think you're deep
You aggravate but you always start to speak
So watch as I start to smile
After every party I die
After every party I die
The morning breaks us up inside
Payback, execution, killing time
So watch as I start to smile
There's something that you think you need
Trying your best to sleep at cocaine speed
So watch as I start to smile
...
Both the lyrics and dance beat have this inauspicious, dark quality about them that is so S4 Ryan it's almost eerie, but that one line?
HAHA, I say. I TOTALLY CALLED IT from the then-fanon portion of my brain. ♥ I am X gets Ryan so right and just, I'm having a moment here. Check out another one of the band's ADDICTIVE TUNES that is likewise So Ryan it blows the mind. :D
NightlifeI am X
I want to know how to survive in the nightlife
The truth and dare of the drug for the first time
I click my heels and dance with the heat rise
I want to know how to survive in the nightlife
I want to know how to survive in the nightlife
The truth and dare of the drug from the baseline
The desire that the voodoo gives to a weak mind
I want to know how to survive in the nightlife
I adored this song even before the Ryan connotation, but now I have additional incentive to love it and dance to its groove. In the streets. On the way to school. I have no shame. ♥
Also,
aefallen and I once shared epic beyond epic laughs over Franz Ferdinand's "Michael" equaling Ryan if Ryan was
ON ANY NUMBER OR COMBINATION OF RECREATIONAL DRUGS. XDD EPIC LAUGHS ARE STILL EPIC. In fact more than ever now for obvious reasons that can blind you with the PFFT, OH WOW. AHAHAHA.
MichaelFranz Ferdinand
This is where I'll be so heavenly,
so come and dance with me, Michael
So sexy, I'm sexy,
so come and dance with me, Michael
I'm all that you see, you wanna see,
so come and dance with me, Michael
So close now, so close now,
so come and dance with me,
so come and dance with me,
so come and dance with me.
Michael,
you're the boy with all the leather hips,
sticky hair, sticky hips,
stubble on my sticky lips
Michael,
you're the only one I'd ever want
only one I'd ever want
only one I'd ever want
Beautiful boys on a beautiful dance floor
Michael,
you're dancing like a beautiful dance whore
Michael,
waiting on a silver platter now
and nothing matters now
This is what I am, I am a man
so come and dance with me, Michael
So strong now, its strong now
so come and dance with me, Michael
I'm all that you see, you wanna see
so come and dance with me, Michael
So close now, its close now,
so come and dance with me,
so come and dance with me,
So come and dance with me.
Michael,
you're the boy with all the leather hips,
sticky hair, sticky hips, stubble on my sticky hips
Michael,
you're the only one I'd ever want
only one I'd ever want
only one I'd ever want
Beautiful boys on a beautiful dance floor
Michael,
you're dancing like a beautiful dance whore
Michael,
waiting on a silver platter now
and nothing matters now
Michael,
you're the only one I'd ever want
only one I'd ever want
only one I'd ever want
Beautiful boys on a beautiful dance floor
Michael,
you're dancing like a beautiful dance whore
Michael, waiting on a silver platter now, nothing matters now, nothing
Matters now but you
AHAHAH *BREATHES* HAAAAHAA. Ryan, the drugs. NEVER STOP if they make you think Michael is totally tappable. AND LEATHER HIPS, AHAHAHA. SORRY, GUYS, I have to fall down and weep LAUGHING SOME MORE.
Man, I love Michael/Ryan SO MUCH. ♥ It's possibly even better with the crack. (And not in moderation!)
!!!
I think it's funny that instead of making me launch into one of my typical post-episode Michael/Ryan spaz!posts, "Night Out" made me raid my mp3 collection so I could express my GLEE through the episode's club context. I have a very special relationship with music. It's my boyfriend, and I totally don't mind if it dates Michael/Ryan on the side, too.
SO. Brace yourselves for a Michael/Ryan club mix in the Not So Distant Future. I have an absurd amount of dance, trance and gratuitous pop remixes feeling each other up in the back alley of my iTunes library. I don't know. I hate me, too. BUT THIS MUST BE DONE.
Also, an episode review will come later once I have watched Certain Scenes 298374974979345 more times. :D
