uberniftacular | Big Bang! (Reply)

I did a Big Bang for

tvrealm. Everything in the Big Bang had to be inspired by a prompt from this post.

Below the cut2, 2 fanmixes and 27 icons.

Fanmix 1: Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie characters from Jeeves and Wooster, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, and Blackadder Goes Forth. Inspired by the prompt "I spy with my little eyes," which immediately made me think of Tony and Control. And I couldn't think of 10 songs specifically for them, so it expanded to Fry and Laurie in general.

A Bit Of...

01. Personal Penguin - Davey Jones (Jeeves/Bertie)
I want to be Your Personal Penguin
I want to walk right by your side
I want to be Your Personal Penguin
I want to travel with you far and wide
Wherever you go, I'll go there too
Here and there and ev'rywhere
And always with you
I want to be Your Personal Penguin
From now on.

02. A Foggy Day - Frank Sinatra (Jeeves/Bertie)
How long I wondered, could this thing last
But the age of miracles, it hadn’t past
And suddenly, I saw you standing right there
And in foggy london town, the sun was shining everywhere

03. Kiss Me When You Come Home - Hanson (Jeeves/Bertie)
Sometimes reason, doesn't line up with the rhyme
With a wash and a sew, the rips and the frays will come out ok in time
'Cause I long for, you and me and a lonely drive.
You can stay out late
You can burn the candle
You can contemplate, but won't you kiss me good?
I will tell you straight, if it's too hard to handle
All I've got to say, is won't you kiss me when you come home?

04. A Well Respected Man - The Kinks (Jeeves)
And he’s oh, so good,
And he’s oh, so fine,
And he’s oh, so healthy,
In his body and his mind.
He’s a well respected man about town,
Doing the best things so conservatively.

05. Blue Eyes - Cary Brothers (Jeeves/Bertie)
But you can't point the way to your heart
So sublime, when the stars are aligned
But you don't know
You don't know the greatness you are

6. Spy - They Might Be Giants (Tony/Control)
I see your face smiling at me
Even when I close my eyes
Your silhouette is smiling at me
But you will never understand me
Because I have a special job
I wish I could break the spy glass
Set it free
So we could be

7. Java Jive - Ink Spots (Tony/Control)
I love coffee, I love tea
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup (Ah!)

08. A Minute Without You - Hanson (Tony/Control)
I've been trying to call you all day,
'cause I got so many things that I want to say
I'm going crazy, 'cause all my thoughts are filled with you
There's got to be some way I can get through to you ohh
'Cause when the minutes seem like hours and the hours seem like days
Then a week goes by you know it takes my breath away
All the minutes in the world could never take your place
There's one-thousand-four-hundred-forty hours in my day, in my day

09. Major General - Pirates of Penzance (Melchett)
For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

10. I Feel Pretty - West Side Story OBC (George-as-Georgina)
I feel charming,
Oh so charming,
It's alarming how charming I feel,
And so pretty That I hardly can believe I'm real.

11. Dude Looks Like a Lady - Aerosmith (Melchett/George-as-Georgina)
Never judge a book by its cover
or who you gonna love by your lover
Sayin' love put me wise to her love in disguise
She had the body of a Venus, Lord imagine my surprise.

12. No More Mr. Nice Guy - Alice Cooper (Jack)
No more Mister Nice Guy,
No more Mister Clean,
No more Mister Nice Guy,
They say he's sick, he's obscene.

13. Maddest Kind of Love - Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (Jack/Neddy)
The maddest kind of love is a love you know is wrong
It burns a hole right through your soul
And cuts you like a knife.
The maddest kind of love is a love you know won't last
It fills your heart with passion
Makes you lie about your past.

14. Bad Romance - Lady GaGa (Jack/Neddy)
I want your ugly, I want your disease
I want your everything as long as it's free
I want your love, love, love, love
I want your love
I want your love and I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
I want your love and all your lover's revenge
You and me could write a bad romance

15. Cruel to be Kind - Letters to Cleo (Jack/Neddy)
Well I do my best to understand dear,
But you still mystify, and I want to know why.
I pick myself up off the ground
To have you knock me back down again and again!
And when I ask you to explain, you say
You've gotta be
Cruel to be kind in the right measure,
Cruel to be kind it's a very good sign,
Cruel to be kind means that I love you,
Baby, you've gotta be cruel to be kind.

16. Tainted Love - Soft Cell (Jack/Neddy)
Once I ran to you
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love
You've given
I give you all a boy
Could give you
Take my tears
And that's not
Nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love

17. Damn - Matchbox Twenty (John & Peter)
This old world well
Don't it make you wanna think damn
This cold girl well
Don't she make you wanna scream damn

Fanmix 2: A Dead Like Me fanmix, inspired by the prompt "When she jumped, she probably thought she'd fly." Betty, one of the season 1 characters, loved to jump off tall things, so this quote reminded me of her immediately.

Don't Fear the Reaper

01. Dead Like Me Theme - Stewart Copeland
Instrumental

02. Don’t Fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult
All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper

03. Send Me On My Way - Rusted Root
I would like to hold my little, hand.
How we will run we will. How we will crawl.
Send me on my way, on my way

04. Rolling in the Deep - Adele
Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow

05. Across the Universe - Beatles
Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world

06. Perfect Blue Buildings - Counting Crows
I wanna get me a little oblivion, baby
And try to keep myself away from myself and me
Well, I got bones beneath my skin, and mister
There's a skeleton in every man's house
Beneath the dust and love and sweat that hang on everybody
Is a dead man trying to get out
So please, help me stay awake, I'm falling

07. River of Dreams - Billy Joel
I’m not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That is runnin' through the promised land

08. Get Happy - Hugh Laurie and Lisa Edelstein
Forget your troubles c'mon get happy,
you better chase all your cares away.
Shout hallejulah c'mon get happy
get ready for the judgment day.

09. You’re Only Human (Second Wind) - Billy Joel
It's not always easy to be living in this world of pain
You're gonna be crashing into stone walls again and again
It's alright, it's alright
Though you feel your heart break
You're only human, you're gonna have to deal with heartache

10. Rain King - Counting Crows
When I think of heaven (Deliver me in a black-winged bird)
I think of dying Lay me down in a field of flame and heather
Render up my body into the burning heart of God in the belly of a black-winged bird
Don't try to bleed me
I've been here before and I deserve a little more

11. Looking For My Life - George Harrison
Oh boy, you’ve no idea what I’ve been through
Oh lord, I feel so stuck that I can’t get to you
Had no idea that I was heading
Toward a state of emergency
I had no fear where I was treading
I only found it out when I was down upon my knees
Looking for my life

12. Dying to be Alive - Hanson
Mistakes I've made
in this life
Can't say why or when
but the thing that's strange is
you only live once
and never look back again
I'm dying to be alive, yeah
Let's not go through our lives
Without just dying to be alive, yeah.

13. Always Look on the Bright Side of Life - Monty Python
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow
So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

14. Boom Boom Ba - Metisse
All my dreams to be all I can do
Only I love, only love
And you say I knew we should find a new way
Make a wonderful love if I may
