Fandom: The Musical

Let's talk music and fandom!

- What songs do you think would suit a character, scene or plotline in one your fandoms perfectly?

- Have you ever written a filk (song parody) or posted a fanvid? Link to it below!

- Do you like musicals? How about musical movies and TV shows? 

- Are you in any music-related fandoms? (Theater, bandom...)



beatrice_otter: Cameron is a Terminator--made for me, not shareable (Cameron Terminator)

I do not vid, but I have a LOT of songs that I would love vids to.

Some specifics:
1) I am baffled that as far as I can tell, NOBODY has EVER made a Spock vid to The Logical Song by Supertramp. This would seem to be an obvious pairing of song and character, y/y?

2) Also, why did nobody in the heyday of SG-1 fandom make a vid to Jeepers Creepers?
Jeepers Creepers, where'd ya get those peepers?
Jeepers Creepers, where'd ya get those eyes?
Gosh all git up, how'd they get so lit up?
Gosh all git up, how'd they get that size?


3) For Terminator, given how much it's about fate vs. free will, Roll the Bones by Rush is a perfect choice.
We go out in the world and take our chances
Fate is just the weight of circumstances
That's the way that lady luck dances
Roll the bones

4) For Captain America, there's an old WWII song by Bing Crosby called "There'll be a Hot Time in the Town of Berlin" particularly if you match up the "heil" lines with Cap kicking Hydra ass.

5) Back on the subject of Star Trek, whyyyyyyyy is there not a Jean-Luc Picard vid to "Have A Cuppa Tea" by THe Kinks????????????

Also, I have a whole long list of old songs that would be perfect for vids of various themes. Like, wanna do a werewolf vid? How about "Moonlight Becomes You So"?
