[Poll #286471]
Mer! I need to add both Hot Fun in the Summertime and Xanadu to the list of options. And a few people have suggested/seconded Girls Just Wanna Have Fun so let that be an option for consideration, too.

My most recent LJ post is a challenge that I think you might enjoy!

I voted for It's the End of the World because you could pull it off and I'd be very impressed, but How Soon Is Now? would be a fine second choice. :D

I voted for 'London Calling', 'cos I would really like to see that filked. But I love the idea of 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun', too...

[lizardlaugh.livejournal.com]

I was thinking Highway to Hell, but that would take very little actual filking, lol.

Then, there is Baby Got Back, but that one's already been famously filked.

Hmmmm.. voting Hotel California because it has a groovy melody and seems easily filkable.

Actually, One Night in Bangkok was done by Murray Head. The only reason I know this is because I found out that he's Anthony Stuart Head's brother. :D Anyway, I had a point, what was it . . . ::rifles through her thoughts::

Right, my suggestions for filking.

Amber by 311 makes for wonderful filk. At least for me, anyway. I always wind up singing 'Rut-roh, Scooby is the colour of your energy, rut-roh, shades of Scooby displayed naturally.' Anyway, they go on about rainstorms and stuff later in the song. Could be relevant for PoA.

Then, you could do Dancing Queen by ABBA. I'm only saying that for the Snape/Boggart thing. hee hee

Oh! There's also Under Your Spell by Amber Benson, which is from the Buffy musical. You wouldn't even have to change it that much. I can give you the lyrics if you'd like them.

That's just my tuppence for you. ::waves::

When I learned they were siblings, I think I fell out of my chair. Then I went online and found about a half dozen songs that ASH did of songs from Chess & Jesus Christ Superstar (as those were the shows his brother was most famous for) including Bangkok - they're just amazing (except the sound quality is somewhere below Billy Boyd on the Sharon Osbourne Show).

[madlori.livejournal.com]

there's a song called "Little Dudes" by an obscure band called Pee Shy which was clearly written specifically for the Bad Place denizens. Unfortunately I can't find the lyrics online. But here's the chorus, from memory:

Where are you, little dudes,
I think I'm in love with you
You're making me feel like a naughty lady
Thinkin' about Greg and Mrs. Brady

There's another line that says "Well, I'm not old enough to be your mom, but you were six years old when I went to the prom."

AHAHAHAHAHA! THAT'S AWESOME. Bad Place song if I ever heard one.

And Heidi, OMG Sweet Child o' Mine. That's just...SO BAD. *dies laughing*

We are all merrily going to hell.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Now and then when we see Dan's face
He takes us far away to The Bad Place!

[longtimegone]

Dude. Yes. :))

I mean, if we're gonna go, we might as well go in style *sways body a la Axl Rose*

[slytherincesss.livejournal.com]

I had an IRL friend who dated Axl Rose's brother! She told me that Axl Rose is an anagram for Oral Sex . . . that is SO LAME!!!!!!

[longtimegone]

*DIES LAUGHING*

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.

[slytherincesss.livejournal.com]

I swear it's true. Can you believe Teh Lameness?

[annearchy.livejournal.com]

Wasn't I singing Highway to Hell just 2 nights ago?? LOL

We are all merrily going to hell.

Yes, and the key word is merrily:

Merrily we go to hell, go to hell, go to hell.
Dan on us has cast a spell and we don't really care.
Look don't touch we know damn well, know damn well, know damn well,
Look don't touch we know damn well -- well, maybe just the hair...

Eh, lame song. Time to go to hell sleep...

*runs away to try and find song*

[thunderemerald.livejournal.com]

OOOOOOOOOOOH One Night in Bangkok. I fell in love with that song even before I knew they'd ever played it on the radio.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Where did you hear it? The soundtrack?

[morganmalfoy.livejournal.com]

Lou Reed, take a walk on the wild side
