MEME: sing me a song that i can sing along

[paisleythief]

When littlspecificty is bored, we all profit! So here's another meme!

Rules for anyone else wanting to do it:
1) Pick 2 songs (or more) that you would love for your muse to sing during karaoke - the more outrageous it is, the better (and if your muse has to get wasted to do it, that's fine, too).
2) Post a link to a vid of the song if you can or audio file (doesn't matter).
3) Post the lyrics to the songs you choose. If more than one person is singing in it bold what parts your muse will be singing.

 

Elephant Love Medley - Ewan McGregor & Nicole Kidman (Moulin Rouge)

(Anyone who sings this with him gets... anything they want. Like. ANYTHING. Legit anything.)

Love is a many splendored thing,
Love lifts us up where we belong,
All you need is love!

Please, don't start that again

All you need is love!

A girl has got to eat!

All you need is love!

She'll end up on the street! (sigh)

All you need is looo~oove!

Love is just a game.

I was made for loving you baby,
You were made for loving me.

The only way of loving me baby,
Is to pay a lovely fee.

Just one night,
Give me just one night.

There's no way,
Cause you can't pay.

In the name of love!
One night in the name of love!

You crazy fool,
I won't give in to you.

Don't... leave me this way.
I can't survive, without your sweet love,
Oh baby. Don't leave me this way.

You'd think that people would've had enough of silly love songs...

I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh no.

Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs

Well what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know.
Cause here I go... again...
Love lifts us up where we belong!
Where eagles fly,
On a mountain high!

Love makes us act like we are fools.
Throw our lives away,
For one happy day.

We could be heroes...
Just for one day.

You, you will be mean.

No, I won't.

(sigh) And I- I-I'll drink all the time.

We should be lovers...

We can't do that.

We should be lovers!
And that's a fact.

Though nothing, would keep us together.

We could steal time...

Just for one day.
We could be heroes,
Forever and ever,
We could be heroes,
Forever and ever,
We can be heroes...

Just because I... will always love you...

I...

...Can't help loving...

...You...

How wonderful life is,

Now you're in, the world....

 

Speechless - Lady Gaga

I can't believe what you said to me
Last night when we were alone
You threw your hands up
Baby you gave up, you gave up

I can't believe how you looked at me
With your James Dean glossy eyes
In your tight jeans with your long hair
And your cigarette stained lies

Could we fix you if you broke?
And is your punch line just a joke?

I'll never talk again
Oh boy you've left me speechless
You've left me speechless, so speechless

And I'll never love again,
Oh boy you've left me speechless
You've left me speechless, so speechless

I can't believe how you slurred at me
With your half wired broken jaw
You popped my heart seams
On my bubble dreams, bubble dreams

I can't believe how you looked at me
With your Johnnie Walker eyes
He's gonna get you and after he's through
There's gonna be no love left to rye

And I know that it's complicated
But I'm a loser in love
So baby raise a glass to mend
All the broken hearts
Of all my wrecked up friends

I'll never talk again
Oh boy you've left me speechless
You've left me speechless so speechless

And I'll never love again,
Oh friend you've left me speechless
You've left me speechless, so speechless

How?
Haaaa-oooo-wow?
H-ooow?
Wow

Haaaa-oooo-wow?
H-ooow?
Wow

 

And after all the drinks and bars that we've been to,

Would you give it all up?

Could I give it all up for you?

 

And after all the boys and the girls that we've been through,

Would you give it all up?

Could you give it all up?

If I promise, boy, to you...

 

That I'll never talk again,

and I'll never love again,

I'll never write a song,

I won't even sing along,

I'll never love again.

 

H-oooow?

So speechless,

You left me speechless, so speechless,

 

Will you ever talk again?

Oh boy, why you so speechless?

You've left me speechless, so speechless.

 

Some men may follow me,

But you choose any girl,

But me?

Why you so speechless, all the time?

OMG. /might cry laughing so hard

IF ARTHUR WAS EVER TRULY PLASTERED OUT OF HIS MIND HE MIGHT ACTUALLY SING THAT DUET.

But then that's a pretty big "might". But if he can feel the need to rap Lonely Island songs I don't see why maybe he wouldn't sing a Moulin Rouge song if he lost a bet to do so. >>

[paisleythief.livejournal.com]

NOW YOU KNOW HOW I FELT HEARING ARTHUR SAY HE SQUIRTS LIKE GUSHERS. /STILL laughing

ANYTHING, ARTHUR. YOU WOULD GET ANYTHING.

Though I can equally see Eames pleading with Arthur and Arthur being like 'fuck no i will not sing that with you in a ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE.' And then Yusuf's like 'w/e dude I'll sing it with you.' And then they go up there and ANNOY THE FUCK out of Arthur by singing intentionally outlandishly toward each other and being huge gushy assholes about it. and then arthur would pull eames aside and be like 'dont say you love another person. even if it's just in a song.' AND EAMES WOULD BE LIKE '~HOW WONDERFUL LIFE IS, NOW YOU'RE IN-' and arthur would punch him. ;;

[littlspecificty]

LMAO DON'T PROMISE HIM THAT, EAMES. HE'LL TAKE YOU UP ON IT.

XD Actually, I can see Eames and Yusuf doing that and Arthur, being Arthur, would GET EVEN. Or something. Depending on who is there with him (Nadia or Ian (a British extractor Arthur has slept with a few times >>) ) he'd get them to then go up there and sing "Something Stupid" with them and, turnabout being fairly play, only look at them while singing it. BECAUSE ARTHUR CAN BE A SPITEFUL CREATURE SO THERE EAMES. >|

[paisleythief.livejournal.com]

HOLD UP WAIT A MINUTE.

Arthur. ;; am I just another notch on your british bedpost?

[littlspecificty]

....

He's got a thing for the accent.

Are you saying I'm not just another notch on yours? /lol we can't hold off the dramaz from anywhere

[paisleythief.livejournal.com]

fuck you and your ADORABLE BABY FACE UGH.

Darling, when did I ever say that? /SHOOS YOU IN THE DIRECTION OF SD:002

[littlspecificty]

YOU CAN'T RESIST IT AND YOU KNOW IT.

You didn't have to. /ALREADY THERE AND TAGGED. BUT NOW YOU KNOW HOW I FELT DURING SD: 001 XD

[paisleythief.livejournal.com]

HIS UNDERESTIMATION OF THE LENGTHS I WILL GO TO EMBARRASS HIM WILL BE HIS UNDOING.

[assemble.livejournal.com]

Imagining his face is QUITE SOMETHING sob.....A+

ALSO....I have a quote for that underestimation thingumy, because I'm ....a hoarder of them ._.

❝ A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. ❞

- Douglas Adams

Just dropping in to say:

[littlspecificty]

<3?

[littlspecificty]

Mun: XD <3


Arthur: >| 4evah

[assemble.livejournal.com]

Of course of course lmdsfklssdkl poor Arthur

Well poor Eames too

I think the only one in the whole movie I don't feel bad for is Ariadne - well and Browning but yeah lmfoiujeklfsd

[littlspecificty]

LOL Well, hopefully, if Arthur will quit being such a stubborn bastard, he might be able to score a happy ending of his own with a certain forger.

And in some cases, a certain architect. >> IDK it depends on the verse. XP

But yeah, Ariadne is the only well-adjusted character it seems, lol. Poor little dear. /hugs her

[assemble.livejournal.com]

I mean I think Eames is certainly well grounded and adjusted especially considering his specialty - but the team certainly also seems to BREATHE baggage, and Ariadne being new has the luxury of not toting the same dish around, so it's easier for her in many ways.

Arthur too obviously has his level-headedness and I guess his weak spots are all the closeted emotion variations rather than surface-weakness or punctur points.

GRANTED it's such a mixed bag because even though Cobb is obviously teetering on his own edge of sanity, he too has some general grounded nature that at least is apparent in the planning stages o.o

THIS WHOLE MOVIE makes my head hurt basically with over-thinking about it.

tl;dr I love it and everyone is more complicated than they seem sob which just makes me want to think about it more

uh well almost everyone

/pets Fischer and kicks him off the back porch

[littlspecificty]

Well, if you over-think it, then you are certainly not the only one! But yes, Ari is the only one that seems to not be carrying something on her shoulders/inside.

And yes, that's exactly how I saw Arthur - levelheaded and calm and cool and collected but inside he keeps things bottled up or pushes them off somewhere else and doesn't deal with them properly and thus is all crap when it comes to emotional situations (usually, or he tends to be clinical - although sometimes he surprises me with how he can be) - and thus, long ramble short (lol), that's how I play him. More or less.

I'd say Yusuf is pretty close to Ari's side of not breathing-baggage (at least from what we were shown) but all in all I think the movie gave us the bare sketches of the characters (Cobb being the most defined because the movie was centered around him) and we RPers (and fic writers) build on that based on how they came across to us.

tl;dr pretty much the same thing you said, just more wordy because I tend to ramble ><

/Arthur totally would have found that hot if he had seen that. Just sayin'. Architect after his own heart. XD

[paisleythief.livejournal.com]

I don't think I appreciate the context, but I like end result so I suppose I'll take it. So long as Arthur ends up with an earful of elephant love medley. He does seem to like elephants...
