A fanmix for Katt, for playing with the
Summer fic challenge and writing
an insanely AWESOME fic using all TEN prompts--and baby!Kon!!
ETA, 10:50 pm: Katt made a cover for the playlist, YAY!!!!! Now included under the cut!
1) It's My Life, Jon Bon Jovi
It's my life.
It's now or never,
I ain't gonna live forever.
I just want to live while I'm alive.
(It's my life.)
My heart is like an open highway.
Like Frankie said,
I did it my way.
I just wanna live while I'm alive.
It's my life.
2) Endless Summer, Cascada
It feels like paradise
The world is closing in
It feels so right...
This is our time.
Kon + Summer = OTP
3) Kung-Fu Fighting, Carl Douglas
There's no excuse for this one, except that Kon is a giant dork pretending he's not. ;)
4) Fortunate Son, Credence Clearwater Revival
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no.
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no.
Well, he's not. ;)
5) Wonderchild, Adam Pascal
If a fever got you burning
And your stomach got you turning
And your mommy doesn't show you
And your daddy doesn't know you
If you're torn up, life confiscated
And if you've been burned, eviscerated
Then you take in all that you're given
And you give out demolition, darling
Tearing down as you keep falling.
I love this song, and it kind of suits Kon's special brand of angst.
6) Living Alive, Anthony Rapp
I know you think no one knows you, but you don't know.
You think you've got nowhere to go; you're not alone,
I know they just won't let you be; they push and prey.
Don't run away.
You can't be anyone else, you've got to be yourself.
You can do so much more than survive.
There's something you're so afraid of; you refuse to see.
If you caught a glimpse of what you're made of, you would be free.
I know you know.
This is what Clark needs to tell Kon, dang it! Fic, anyone? ;)
7) Tubthumping, Chumbawumba
We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to
Keep me down
Yes, this song. Think Young Justice and that jacket and those glasses and the hair, and all will make sense.
8) We Are the Champions, Queen
I've paid my dues,
Time after time.
I've done my sentence,
But committed no crime.
And bad mistakes,
I've made a few.
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through.
We are the champions, my friends,
And we'll keep on fighting, till the end...
Another Young Justice era song, before everything fell apart. (Also, what soundtrack is complete without Queen?)
9) Broadway, Goo Goo Dolls
You see you'd love to run home
But you know you ain't got one
And you're livin in a world
That you're best forgotten around here
Oh, Kon, you giant woobie. Could work either when he first goes to live with the Kents' or after the Luthor mind-control fiasco.
10) Mad Season, Matchbox Twenty
Well, I feel stupid, but it's something that comes and goes.
I've been changin' - I think it's funny how no one knows.
We don't talk about the little things that we do without
When that whole mad season comes around.
So why you gotta stand there
Looking like the answer now?
It seems to me you'd come around.
I need you now.
Do you think you can cope?
You figured me out - that I'm lost and I'm hopeless.
I'm bleeding and broken, though I've never spoken.
I come undone in this mad season.
...So are you gonna stand there?
Are you gonna help me out?
We need to be together now.
I need you now.
Do you think you can cope?
You figured me out - that I'm lost and I'm hopeless.
I'm bleeding and broken, though I've never spoken
I come undone in this mad season.
And now I'm cryin'
Isn't that what you want?
And I'm tryin' to live my life on my own
But I won't, no.
At times I do believe I am strong
So someone tell me why, why, why
Do I, I, I feel stupid?
And I come undone.
...Well I need you now.
Do you think you can cope?
You figured me out - I'm a child and I'm hopeless.
I'm bleeding and broken though I've never spoken.
I come undone.
I come undone in this mad season.
Kon to Clark, pretty much any time, but especially after Luthor. I want fic now, please.
11) Believe It or Not, Nickleback
Believe it or not, everyone have things that they hide.
Believe it or not, everyone keeps most things inside.
Believe it or not, everyone, believes in something above.
Believe it or not, everyone, needs to feel loved.
12) The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage, Fall Out Boy
And I believe this may call for a proper introduction, and well
Don't you see, I'm the narrator and this is just the prologue?
Swear to shake it up, if you swear to listen.
Oh, we're still so young, desperate for attention.
Kon is most definitely desperate for attention, although he'd never admit it.
13) Only the Good Die Young, Billy Joel
They say there's a heaven for those who will wait.
Some say it's better, but I say it ain't.
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints.
The Sinners are much more fun.
You know that only the good die young.
Sad, but true.
14) Blaze of Glory, Jon Bon Jovi
Lord,I got to ask a favor
And I'll hope you'll understand,
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest,
Let the boy die like a man.
Staring down the bullet,
Let me make my final stand:
Shot down in a blaze of glory.
Take me now, but know the truth:
I'm going out in a blaze of glory.
Lord, I never drew first,
But I drew first blood,
and I'm no one's son.
Call me young gun.
Oh, KON!!
All songs
here at Box.net!! Also, bonus track! Because I'm sure it would amuse Kon as much as me:
You Don't Mess Around With Jim, by Jim Croce, for the lyrics You don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind, you don't pull the mask of that old Lone Ranger and you don't mess around with Jim. Kon would agree. Except when he does it. ;) (EEEEE NOW I WANT BABY!KON TUGGING ON CLARK'S CAPE!!!!)
ETA, 7 pm: BAH! I forgot the cut in my rush to post for Katt to see before we ran off for dinner--sorry for the last several hours! =P Fixed now!
