We've shared music before that makes us think of our pups, or our playlists sometimes... but what about all those songs you hear that make you think of other people's characters?

Tag in with your pups and people can reply with music that reminds them of your pups! Share your music that makes you think of other people's characters!

Hey guys sup.

I admit that when I think of the bar as a whole, I occasionally think of Piano Man by Billy Joel, but that may be less about anything to do with the bar, and more because I am from Long Island.

[i_am_your_host]

Raise up a glass, you're in Milliways
It's where your door led you tonight
Well we're all at the end of the universe
And the Bar's got us feelin' all right


...If I had more brain I would do the entire song. Actually, I think everyone should contribute a verse.

[quick_clean_pure]

(AGGRESSIVE HARMONICA SOLO)

Well the rats at the bar are some friends of mine
They bring all my drinks to me
And they're quick with a glass
To get you drunk off your ass
And they're shockingly sanitary

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Haven't seen Repo!, heard a few bits of some of the songs, was familiarized with the plot some time ago; all of this is my apology for only being able to come up with Weird Al's classic "Like a Surgeon", which I realize probably fits other Repo! characters rather better. My apologies.

[quick_clean_pure]

No need to apologize at all! I am a deep fan of Weird Al and had never thought to make that connection, which is absolutely hysterical! Now I need to blast that song on my earphones.

[configuration_birdwatcher]

It's a great song for Repo in general!

[i_am_your_host]

Emcee, Pam, Cassidy and/or Floki

[exiled_heir_of_the_eighth]

For Cassidy, Go Down Gambling by Blood, Sweat and Tears. It might be cheating, seeing as it was actually in Preacher, but it just fits him so well.

Aurelio Voltaire's Hell In A Handbasket is sort of right for Emcee, but it's more that I could see him performing it on a stage somewhere.

[i_am_your_host]

I thought the songs in the first season of Preacher were excellent choices so it's hard to not pick them! But that's a good one that I hadn't given much thought to.

And I am definitely envisioning Emcee performing Hell in a Handbasket. That's hilarious. He'll dedicate it to Lucifer (but maybe change the line that says Hell doesn't exist).

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

It doesn't remind me of Emcee per se, but I cannot help but picture him in Jay's world, or wherever, getting down to the tune of Play That Funky Music White Boy.

[i_am_your_host]

That is a very apt choice because it was a song I picked for Emcee's first New Year's Eve party playlist before I heard it at an event that Alan Cumming himself was DJ'ing.

[bjornwilde]

I think for either Cassidy or Emcee, really...

Panic! At the Disco's Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time (lyrics video, though you may enjoy the official one.)

MCR's Na Na Na kinda screams Cassidy to me (lyrics video again, though you may enjoy the official one, as well.) ( Still love the line, "Shut up and let me see your jazz hands")

[mogget_cat]

*sings at Emcee*

There's an art to life's distractions,
To somehow escape the burning weight,
The art of scraping through.
Some like to imagine
The dark caress of someone else I guess any thrill will do.
Would things be easier
If there was a right way, honey there is no right way...
And so I fall in love just a little ol' little bit
Every day with someone new...

[exiled_heir_of_the_eighth]

I'll offer up Sahaal.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Mein herz brennt, Rammstein. I have to use Google Translate for the original German lyrics, admittedly, but the general sense seems to be there.

[exiled_heir_of_the_eighth]

Oh, definitely. The lyrics fit very well, what with the nighttime theme, the general eeriness and the twisted fairytale aspect. I could totally envisage Sahaal using the track as part of his terror tactics.

Plus, I'm a massive Rammstein fan, and that's one of my favourite songs :)

[runningred]

Jay, Sinric, and Bodhi.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Bodhi - Under Pressure, David Bowie and Queen

[imthepilot]

I'd never thought of that for Bodhi but it's perfect.

[bjornwilde]

Jay - The Black Keyes, Sinister Kid:
"A sinister kid is a kid who
Runs to meet his maker
A drop dead sprint from the day he's born
Straight into his maker's arms
And that's me, that's me
The boy with the broken halo
That's me, that's me
The devil won't let me be"

[thewidewideworld]

Oh, I like that! I'll check it out.

[varadia]

Ysalwen Surana
X-23
Sombra
Grand Admiral Thrawn
Wonder Woman
Raven
Nynaeve al'Meara
Flemeth

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Well, Flemeth gets City of Delusion by Muse, that's for sure.

And while I hadn't really thought of it before, going through my general playlist of songs I've accumulated over time turns up You Know My Name from Casino Royale. Ignore the trippy Bond credit images; the lyrics are Thrawn all the way through.

[cutting_edgex23]

I hang my head and snicker, because both of these work really well.

(Thrawn, WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS???? I mean I know why. Just. Yep.)

[bjornwilde]

Sombra... A Mi Manera - Gipsy Kings

Ok, so it's Spanish/Flamenco and not Mexican, but still.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Ellen, Varric, Quicksilver, Adrian Shephard. Why not.

[exiled_heir_of_the_eighth]

I think Ellen, and just Fallout in general, would be We Will All Go Together When We Go, by Tom Lerher.

I'm on mobile data, so I apologise for the lack of link.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

S'ok. I have a version recorded at a live performance of Tomfoolery on my phone.

[configuration_birdwatcher]

Bastion, Aradia Megido, and/or Dr Thurlow.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Bastion: Somewhere Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.

[configuration_birdwatcher]

I've never heard this version before, but it's very nice!

I didn't think of using that song for them, but I probably should have. (When I was making their playlist before I even apped them and looking for music other people had connected to them, I think I did run across Somewhere Over the Rainbow once or twice, but the main thing I recall is seeing about seven different versions of Porter Robinson's "Sad Machine". Which is admittedly fitting, but... yeah.)

[inlovewithwords]

Eriond
Lois
Evelyn
R2-D2
Anakin
Tavi

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

I'm really sorry, my brain switched into snickering mode and insists on offering Not The Boy Next Door for Anakin.

... somewhat more appropriately, may I offer Daft Punk's The Game Has Changed from the TRON Legacy soundtrack?

[bjornwilde]

I've already mentioned Taylor Swift's Long Live for Anakin and Ahsoka, but I also can't help thinking of them with MCR's Planetary (GO!):
If my velocity starts to make you sweat
Then just don't let go
And if the heaven ain't got a vacancy
Then we just, then we just, then we just, then we just
Get up and go

Then for Vader there's Black Sabbath's War Pigs, although I really like Cake's cover as well (and this isn't because of this SW fan vid...really) and White Stripes' Seven Nation Army (though that's my go to for any pup that's an unstoppable force.) I also could really see a filk version of Blue Oyster Cult's Black Blade being made for him.

[arkadia]

Poking my head in quickly to offer up:

Yamato Ishida angry_friendship_wolf
Eden Llyx arkadia

[thebattycakes]

So last night I fell into the YouTube hole trying to answer yesterday's DE and never got a reply posted. In early to try today's.

Cisco makes_the_toys
K-2SO rebel_droid
Barry run_barry
Matt man_without_fear
Logan adamantiumloner
Hellboy bprd_agent_red

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Every time I have heard Two Steps From Hell's Stronger Faster Braver I have thought it was a Flash song, or possibly one for the entire Flash legacy, so there, that's for Barry.

[bjornwilde]

For Logan....
Kongos' Come With Me now.
I also can't help but think of Blue Oyster Cult's Veteran of the Psychic Wars when I think of how long he's been fighting.

ETA: And hey, another song. Eurythimics' I Saved the World Today. Seems like it could be Logan, or Barry & Cisco...or hell, Matt and Hellboy as well, really.

Love this!
