- Write down 15 of your favorite pairings
- Put your IPOD/Media Player on shuffle. The number of the song corresponds to the number of the OTPs
- Quote a part of the song that you think that have any similarity with the story of the couple
1. Smoker/Ace
-Dead Wrong by the Fray
It's always been an "Ace" song to me but fft yeah. It fits REALLY well as an Ace on the execution platform singing to Smoker about how yeah Smoker told him not to go after BB (like everyone else did :|) but he did it anyway.
So I was dead wrong all along
You said it for my sake
That you thought I'd lost my way
When I was dead wrong all along
You said it for my sake
That I would not lose my way
Did I really lose my way
Or are you afraid
2. Marco/Ace
Donkey Riding by Great Big Sea
This really fits Marco introducing Ace to being in the WB crew etc. in a very strong sailor-y way (Of course since Donkey Riding = sailing a specific type of ship/working it)
Was you ever in Fortune Bay
See the girls all shout, "Hooray!"?
"Here comes dad with ten weeks pay
Riding on a donkey."
3. Ace/Sanji
She's Only 18 by the Red Hot Chili Peppers
Oh Ace you pedo. Sanji'd be the girl in this >>
Your hustle's busted when
You can't afford a cigarette
The last I heard from you
You were screaming "handle it"
4. Fujiko/Lupin
Two-Part Contention by Dave Brubeck
Lyricless being jazz but hey that fits Fujiko all the more.
BONUS SONG:
Tell Her About It by Billy Joel
Yeah that one DEFINITELY fits because one of Lupin's big problems is not telling Fujiko in such a way that she believes him so she runs off and leaves him again. Pretty much ALL of this works but chorus the most I guess.
Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept
That you're for real
Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she means
5. Smoker/Crocodile
This Is Such a Pity by Weezer
.... I'm floored by how ridiculously perfect that is.
Full lyrics Guh. I can't add anything to it it's just... there.
I know how to pick on you.
You pushed me over the edge.
We caused so much agony.
We can't seem to move ahead.
6. Ben/Shanks
Nichiren by Duncan Sheik
If you stretch it, it can KIND OF talk about how Shanks first luring Ben into joining him. In a really dark/sad way like bleak :| ACTUALLY It also really really fits Ben trying to come to terms himself with Shanks sacrificing his arm for Luffy etc.
And in some cold and barren place
He spoke the phrase and thus I heard
With every small decision
You change a heart
You change the world.
7. Fujiko/Jyabura
Stiletto by Billy Joel
This. Will ALWAYS fit Fujiko most of all. Period. Fujiko/Lupin admittedly a little more but realistically Fujiko/ANYONE. She's a bitch.
Full lyrics. You've been bought, you've been sold
You've been locked outside the door
But you stand there pleadin'
With your insides bleedin'
'Cause you deep down want some more
Then she says she wants affection
While she searches for the vein
She's so good with her stiletto,
You don't really mind the pain
You don't mind the pain
8. Garp/Silvers
I'm Going Slightly Mad by Queen
GIGGLING SO HARD!!! :D :D :D Errr yeah so general consesus? Garp is crazy. Silvers would definitely be questioning his own senility but hey after Rogers I doubt he has much left. <333
I'm one card short of a full deck
I'm not quite the shilling
One wave short of a shipwreck
I'm not at my usual top billing
I'm coming down with a fever
I'm really out to sea
This kettle is boiling over
I think I'm a banana tree
9. Smoker/Karen
Humour of the Situation by BNL
Oh Smoker you asshole. <3 He has a bad sense of humor sometimes. THE IRONY is I GUESS Karen kind of thinking he wants an affair when he doesn't; this song would be about having an affair but ffft. I can still see Smoker doing some of the bonehead moves. Idiot. The final verse (not shown) also fits if he gets fully dumped >>
Have you heard the one about the boy
Who moved into the henhouse to sleep?
He woke up with egg on his face
When he found out all the hens had crossed the street
Come on now, now
Come on now, now
Enjoy the humour of the situation
Come on now, now
Come on now, now
Enjoy the humour of the situation
10. Kureha/Sanji
Bon Voyage by Bon Bon Blanco (One Piece theme)
Okay I honestly was kind of thinking I couldn't have much on my iPod that could fit them but it being a One Piece song you know... automatically does :P
Full lyrics/translation/original So Kureha sending Sanji on the way with a typical smirk etc.
BON VOYAGE! Riding over the waves
Our promissory note won't penetrate the letter
Let's Go! With one piece of courage
Is it okay?
This moment is precious in my life
The ship to the future will appear in a moment.
11. Smoker/Zeff
Leave by BNL
... ffffffffffffft god. So... true. :| WEIRD BUT UH TRUE.
FULL because guh. ALL OF IT. Like half of it is Zeff, half is Smoker but definitely fitting Smoker/Zeff as a whole.
I've informed you to leave
'Cause I can't afford to lose more sleep
I get ill when I get tired
So I'll try to rest if you'll stand guard
Do do do do do do do do Whoa
Do do do do do do do
I've informed you to leave
'Cause I can't stand to hear you breathe
I chew up and I choke down
The scraps you choose to leave around
12. Brooke/Trucy
Carnival by the Pillows
Brooke/Trucy is all about the fluff. And panties. And fuck it, it's insane I just love it. This kinda works in a Brooke taking her to a carnival date etc. and the whole fact that they don't work because he's dead, she's 15. but at the same time they do work because all they do is hang out really. :3
Even reaching out my hands
It's an age that gives no rewards
A future that gives no salvation
Peals of my laughter would come at just a kiss with you
[....]
The two of us
Dreamt at the same time
Of an age reborn
A future with a rainbow hung in the sky
At just a kiss with you, I came to tears
I was waiting for the day you and I would meet
13. Ryoga/Akane
Famous Last Words by Billy Joel
Ryoga either getting her in the end and thus no more writing even more of his love letters to her OR giving up after she actually gets married to Ranma. *sad*
Sitting here in Avalon, looking at the pouring rain
Summertime has come and gone and everybody's home again
Closing down for the season, I found the last of the souvenirs
I can still taste the wedding cake and it's sweet after all these years
These are the last words I have to say
That's why this took so long to write
There will be other words some other day
But that's the story of my life
14. Sango/Miroku
Chances by Five For Fighting
Before the end of the series, Miroku acknowledging to Sango, the chances aren't that great since he's gradually dying more and more but that doesn't mean he's willing to ever give up and he'd always bet on the two of them.
Don't get me wrong I'd never say never
Cause though love can change the weather
No act of God can pull me away from you
I´m just a realistic man
A bottle filled with shells and sand
Afraid to love beyond what I can lose when it comes to you
And though I see us through yeah
[...]
Chances are only what we make them.
And all I need.
15. Jyabura/Kaku
Jack Hinks by Great Big Sea
Around the time they all start sailing on their own as pirates, Jyabura being irresponsible and Kaku sort of coming to get him and pick up his mess and then Jyabura being the guy to go to in crunch time.
And like a ramblin' true blue
When the rent becomes due
On the table the money he clinks
He's a seafaring sailmate
Can gambol a caper
Grog drinking hero, Jack Hinks.
NOW YOU DO IT TOO :3
