I KNOW, I KNOW, I'VE BEEN SLACKING. D8 But I'm picking it back up, now~!! <3 I'm going to keep posting just one prompt a day, since I'm so behind and it would take ~~FOREVEREST~~!! to catch up all in one day (and probably give me another headache). ;D
Day 9 -- A Song That You Can Dance to~!
Now, this was difficult, but... ;D Not for the reasons you might think. There are SO many songs I can dance to, and I can dance wildly to even the SLOWEST of songs, so it was difficult narrowing it down! I could honestly list at least over thirty songs, BUT~!! Lucky for you, I have tried to set a three song limit for myself. ;3 So I narrowed it down to three, by some MIRACLE. I LOVE TO DANCE, CAN YOU TELL?? 8D *FLAILS*
...'KAY HERE WE ~~GO,~~ THEN!!

Something VERY obvious. What kind of a person would I BE if I failed to include this song?? ;D I am the closest one can get to being a child of the eighties without... actually BEING one, LMFAOOOO. I was born in the early nineties, but I knew more about MTV in the eighties growing up. 3: And so, when Kerry shoved this song in my face when I was fourteen, I was APPALLED that my father hadn't already showed it to me. D8 ...BUT!! I LOVE THIS SONG, SO IT'S OKAY. <3 It is pretty much ~~the~~ dancing song, one of Mozie's theme songs, and one of my top fifteen most played songs~! 8D I've played it 173 times to last.fm's knowledge, but technically I've played it even MORE than that in my lifetime. it is the BEST. ...and I recently discovered that listening to it without being able to dance is torture. 3:
...OKAY, LYRICS TIME!! 8D
We can dance if we want to,
we can leave your friends behind,
'cuz your friends don't dance,
and if they don't dance,
well, they're no friends of MINE.
I say, we can go where we want to,
a place where they will never find,
and we can act like we come
from out of this world,
leave the real one far behind~!
And we can DANCE.
We can go if we want to,
night is young and so am I,
and we can dress real neat
from our hats to our feet,
then surprise 'em with a VICTORY CRY~!!
I say, we can act if we want to!
If we don 't, nobody will,
and you can act real rude
and totally removed,
and I can act like an imbecile~!
I say, we can dance, we can dance~!
Everything's out of control!
We can dance, we can dance~!
We're doin' it from pole to pole!
We can dance, we can dance~!
Everybody look at your hands.
We can dance, we can dance~!
Everybody's takin' the CHAAAAAAAaaAAANCE~!!
Safety dance,
we'll safety dance!
Is it ~~safe~~ to dance?
We can dance if we want to!
We've got all your life in mind.
As long as we abuse it,
never gonna lose it,
everything will work out right~!
I say, we can dance if we want to!
We can leave your friends behind,
'cuz your friends don't dance,
and if they don't dance,
well, they're no friends of MINE.
I say, we can dance, we can dance~!
Everything's out of control!
We can dance, we can dance~!
We're doin' it from pole to pole!
We can dance, we can dance~!
Everybody look at your hands.
We can dance, we can dance~!
Everybody's takin' the CHAAAaaAAANCE~!!
We'll safety dance!
Is it ~~safe~~ to dance?
We'll safety dance,
we'll safety DAAaaAANCE~!!
Is it ~~safe~~ to dance?
It's safe to dance, YEAH~!!
Let's safety dance!
It's a SAFETY DANCE.
Oh, let's safety dance~!
Oh, let's safety dance~!
Oh, let's safety dance~!
Oh, let's safety dance~!
...just for the record? 8'D It could be "we're doin' it from wall to wall" or "we're doin' it from ball to ball," too. I'VE SEEN ALL THREE. AND YES, I AM AWARE OF HOW DIRTY IT SOUNDS. SO
WHATEVER. MOVING ONTO THE ~~NEXT~~ SONG OH HOORAY!!

"Leeds United" by Amanda Palmer~! ;D I know some of you are probably sick of Ms. Palmer, after my little lovefest in the last music meme-related post, but this song is AMAZING, SO!! SHH. ;3 And OBVIOUSLY it needed to go on this list, because a.) it is GROOVY AS HELL and it makes me feel on top of the world, usually, and TWO, I have literally INJURED myself dancing around to it. LMFAOOOOO. I got SO INTO IT that I sprained my hand while dancing to it, LMSFKLFFSL!! And then I JUST KEPT GOING. ;'3 Only one other song has been able to do this to me, so. It's kind of ~~special.~~ :'3 And yes, I was listening to the ~~lounge~~ version of "Leeds United" when I injured myself, but I can't seem to find it anywhere, so. Damnit. 3< You get this instead.
...'KAY LYRICS TIME!!
We WATCH you, your expert double exes.
It's just like you to paint those whiter fences.
It's so ~~polite,~~ it's so ~~polite~~

It's so ~~unright,~~ it's so ~~unright,~~
it's a technical, accept it~!
...but who needs love when there's "Law & Order,"
and who needs love when there's Southern Comfort,
and who needs LOVE AT ALL?
We STALK you, your expert double exes,
and we oxidize you in your sleep--

You're on ROLL, you're on a ROLL:
no one gets it, no one gets it~!
Your Honor, no, your Honor,

...but who needs love when there's "Law & Order,"
and who needs love when there's Southern Comfort,
and who needs love WHEN THE SANDWICHES ARE ~~WICKED~~
AND THEY KNOW YOU AT THE MAC STORE?

Someday, someday,
leeds united.
Bugsy Malone came to carry you home,
and they're takin' you all to the doctor!
Burberry vices all sugary spices--
--it's nice, but it's not what I'm after!
Sure I ~~admire~~ you, sure you ~~inspire~~ me,
but you've been not getting back, so
I'll wait at the Sainsbury's counting my change,
making BANK on the upcoming roster...
...and we'll STOP you, your expert double exes!
Oh, you're a ~~BIG~~ stock-holder, exxtra cold with two x's!
Oh, oh, oh, that never talking thing you DO
is effective, is effective~!
Your shoulder's icy colder, oh,
than a deathwish, than a deathwish~!
...but who needs love when there's "Law & Order,"
and who needs love when there's "Dukes of Hazzard,"
and who needs love WHEN THE SANDWICHES ARE ~~WICKED~~
AND THEY KNOW YOU AT THE MAC STORE?
Oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh OH.

..."To Die For" by the Birthday Massacre~! ;D And yes, I AM talking about the version from "Walking with Strangers," thank you. This is the other song that I was talking about, LMFAO. Long before I heard "Leeds United," I was dancing to this song and I sprained my right hand. 8'D Obviously, I kept going, and I learned NOTHING from this incident, since it just happened again a few months later. *COUGH* But it's almost a good thing, really~! I mean, this is a song that is SO catchy and so WONDERMOUS that I had no choice but to dance SO MUCH that I hurt myself. That... has to be a good thing, right? 8D This is another one of those songs I've listened to over 100 times (I've listened to it 236 times in particular on last.fm ;D), because it's AMAZING. I think it's the synth or something idk. I don't even know all the lyrics, so it's basically just SOUND.
...watch as I transcribe the lyrics ANYWAY!!
Tighten your ~~tie,~~ boy. <3
You're something to ~~die~~ for,
but don't hold your breath, now--
--you're just killing time!
Tonight you can dream, boy,
imagine a whisper.
If you can keep secrets,
then I'll tell you mine~!
Remember a promise
you couldn't hold onto.
Though it brings me to tears now,
I need you to know.
Look in my eyes, boy,
nothing like yours, now.
It seems that a lifetime
is passing us by...
(...so open your eyes.)
AAAAAAAAH OOOOOOO~
AAAAAAAAH OOOOOOOOO.
AAAAAAAAH OOOOOOO~
AAAAAAAAH OOOOOOOOO.
This is forever,
but it won't last long...
This is a memory
that fades away in never-ending...
In the death of all
that's long been said and done before,
we'll wish that we were something more,
something more...
Stop wasting time, boy!
You're late all your life, boy.
They won't have the patience
for someone like you.
Your memory's fading;
I'll love you forever.
I'll try to remember,
I'll try to hold on!
You're standing alone, boy,
waiting for dreams, boy,
waiting for something
to make them come true.
Don't ever leave, boy.
I'd miss you too much, boy!
I'll never forget you
as long as I'm here...
AAAAAAAH OOOOOOO.
AAAAAAAH OOOOOOOO.
AAAAAAAH OOOOOOO.
AAAAAAAH OOOOOOOO.
...AND, GUESS WHAT. 8D I tried to set a three song limit for myself, but uh... that's pretty much bullshit, so.
FOURTH SONG~!! <3 and then we're done.

"Rubber Bullets" by 10cc~! ;D If you don't KNOW why I chose this song, you are kiiiind of a moron. First of all, it is CATCHY AS HELL. AND FUN!! Who DOESN'T want to get up and dance when they hear this song?? It's just so full of... 8D superness. And to me, it IS the real "Superjail!" theme song. You can praise "I'm Comin' Home" ALL you want, and it's still not going to change the fact that this song is 2494249 times more fitting and amazing. It's about a dance at the local county jail. D8 It contains the lyric "Down at precinct 49 havin' a ~~tear gas of a time~~!!" WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT? I've played this song 240 times on last.fm, and plenty MORE times elsewhere. It is basically one of my FAVOURITES!! so BAM.
...LYRICS TIME.
I went to a party at the local county JAAAAAAAAIL.
All the cons were dancin' and the band began to WAIL,
but the guys were indiscreet--they were bawlin' in the STREET
at the local dance at the local county jaaaaaaail~!
Well, the band were playin' and the booze began to flow,
but the sound came over on the police car radio.
Down at precinct 49, havin' a ~~TEAR GAS OF A TIIIIIIME,~~
Sergeant Baker got a call from the governor of the county jaaaail~!
"LOAD UP, LOAD UP, LOAD UP
with rubber bullets~...
LOAD UP, LOAD UP, LOAD UP
with rubber bullets~...
I love to hear those convicts squeal;
It's a shame these slugs ain't real,
but we can't have dancin' at the local county pen~!"
Sergeant Baker and his men made a beeline for the JAAAAIL,
and for miles around, you could hear the sirens WAAAAIL.
There's a rumor goin' 'round death row that a fuse is gonna BLOW
at the local hop at the local county jaaaail~!
What'cha gonna DO about it,
what'cha gonna DO?
What'cha gonna DO about it,
what'cha gonna DO?
Sergeant Baker started talkin' with a bullhorn in his hand,
bullhorn in his hand, bullhorn in his hand~...
He was cool, he was clear, he was always in command,
always in command, always in command~...
He said, "Blood will FLOW. Here, Padre,
Padre you talk to your boys~...
Trust in me--
--God will come to set you free~~"
Well, we don't understand why he called in the National Guard,
the National Guard, the National Guard,
when Uncle Sam is the one who belongs in the EXERCISE YARD,
the exercise yard, the exercise yard~!
We all got balls 'n' brains, but some's got BALLS 'N' CHAINS
at the local dance at the local county jail~!
"Load UP, load UP, load UP
with rubber bullets~...
Load UP, load UP, load UP
with rubber bullets~..."
Is it really such a crime for a guy to spend his time
at the local dance at the local county jail,
at the local dance at the local county jail~?
What'cha gonna DO about it,
what'cha gonna DO?
What'cha gonna DO about it,
what'cha gonna DO?
SO BASICALLY, I WILL NEVER MAKE A POST ABOUT MY REAL LIFE EVER AGAIN.
okay so I will but I NEED to work on so many THINGS~!! Writin's and... music memes... I'll get to talking about that party. :3 I swear I will, eventually. AND I have oodles of OTHER things to talk about, TOO.
FOR NOW, ENJOY THE MUSIC. AND ~~DANCE.~~ I'M GOING NOW.
P.S., IT IS CARATHING'S BIRTHDAY
EVERYONE MAKE FUN OF HIM AND TELL HIM HE'S AN OLD MAN, MMKAY?? ;D MMKAY.
going now for REAL. *AHEM*
