02.pointer sisters
i'm so excited
THIS MAKES THEM. i need to write this, it'll make more sense!!!
03.carly simon
you're so vain
this song just fits, okay. yeah that's all i got. go to the end to see its original glorious form, which makes this song selection much more fitting.
(and this picture is a genius because this is a photoshop awesomeness. or something. can you figure it out.)
04.avril lavigne
complicated
in my mind, phelps gone all hollywood on phelps but ryan knows how michael is just like any normal dorky guy. stop putting up a front. you look like an idiot, albeit cute. (holla snl hosting)
05.the pretenders
i'll stand by you
i have to admit that i forgot the reason why i use this song in the first place. there. remember this was pre-bong-incident.
06.kanye west
amazing
this was the last song i put up. i was gonna use american boy because it had london (2012) in it but then it didn't really fit. and of course how vain can you get with this song.
(looking at you a-rod, and not looking at you, nba for overusing that song in your commercials)
07.theory of a deadman
all or nothing
this was THE song of why i wanted to make this in the first place. even if the song got way overplayed and they sound like nickelback 2.0.
bonus
usher - yeah! (just 'cause)

ramblings
So I started this back in last August then the Summer Olympics was still around. It kicked around in my laptop for ages - even my cousin saw the folder and said "Michael Phelps?". And then I made a new new folder called Projects, threw this fanmix in there, and now it's finally done after just making two new covers (and resizing from
500x500 to 400x400, which became the norm after a year & did you see how perfectly their names fit on the cover?!) and lol-ing over the
fug one that I made for You're So Vain originally. Which prompted
jehnt posting
this picture of paperbagged Phelps. And the post that turned into Phelps would or would not fit in with the Recon Marines.
Oh yeah! I forgot my Lil Wayne story. I originally had Lollipop (this is the only song I know of him, lol) as part of the mix, because duh I needed a Lil Wayne song since it's MP & RL. I re-read the lyrics when I was re-working on this and um, yeah it didn't mix. So I went to those lyric sites and looked at all his songs (thank you onmouseover) and um, they all have the n word or a lot of swear words in them. Of the ONE song I found that didn't have any swear words, it was weird. So sorry, no Weezy for you, trying to keep it clean here.
My future plan to write fic to accompany each song. But of course that's at the bottom of my to-do list.
(I totally staggered the song between vainy/awesome ones and the more, um, mellow-ish ones. Not sure why I put that here. & I really need to stop making fanmix with song covers. I need a life.)
And sorry
iliveforthis, you got 2 votes to 1'd for the cover. It was too green/yellow. Thanks
secondstar for the quick glance over. How sad it is that I had to scramble to reacquire most of these songs.
notes
the songs in the zip file aren't correctly numbered in the tags. sorry!
the individual downloads do not have the album cover in the tag.
all individual songs should be tagged correctly, thanks wikipedia!
