More goddamn icons. I think some of these are actually quite good--I'm still needing an image program to make flashee ones.
Snape with Pink Floyd lyrics.

Ha ha, cause they're both kinda mean.

Everyone jokes about Ringo...

I honestly believe that Hendrix's guitar playing was some kind of magic. Maybe not flashy wandy magic, but still magic.


I don't think this last one needs any explanation.

I just downloaded "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Flying Thing off Kazaa.
The song blew my mind. I mean it. "Oh my God--Alice in Wonderland might be about drugs!" That had never, ever, ever occured to me--I thought it was just a weird dream story.
Jay and Silent Bob in Wonderland--"Dude, that caterpillar's rockin' the ganj!"
Right. Anyway, here's my filk.
"White Owl", not by Jefferson Spacecraft
One spell makes you larger
And one spell makes you small
And the potions teacher gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Harry
He heeded the call
And if you go chasing owls
And you know you're going to school
Tell 'em a mysterious old wizard
Said that it's all cool
Like Harry
When he broke all the rules
When a magic parchment map
Can tell you right where your friends are
And you've just had some special chocolate
And you're driving a flying car
Go ask Harry
He bears the scar
When a werewolf's teaching classes
And Dementors spark your dread
And your textbook's trying to bite you
And a house-elf's in your bed
Remember what Trelawney said
FREE YOUR HEAD
FREE YOUR HEAD
I made up a meme.
You take one of your fandoms and pick songs for some of the characters (or themes, objects, etc.). Here's the starter.
Rita Skeeter: "Dirty Laundry", by Don Henley. Great song about reporters that dish up dirt on celebs while ignoring the actual issues.
The Dursleys: "Piggies" by the Beatles. Cause, you know, pigs. Fat, bloated, middle-class pigs.
Percy Weasley: "Well-Respected Man About Town" by the Kinks. Good song about a bourgesoie jackass, which honestly might be kind of harsh to describe Percy.
Sirius Black: "Diamond Dogs" by David Bowie. In honor of Sirius's Animage form and all the slutty fanfic written about him.
Remus Lupin: "Werewolves of London", by Warren Zevon. Because, you know, werewolf. Kind of a gimme.
The relationship between Sirius and Remus: "Howl at the Moon", by Cheryl Wheeler. Sweet song about a dog and his master.
The Death Eaters: "Bloodbath in Paradise" by Ozzy Osbourne. Creepy song about the Manson family, but any song that involves serial murderers is fine by me. It does have the line about "Charlie and the family", which makes it seem, in a Potterverse sense, like the Weasleys have started carving swastikas into their foreheads, so just substitute "Voldie and the Death Eaters" and you'll be OK.
Sybil Trelawney: "Purple Haze", by Jimi Hendrix. Your future is hazy--lemme have some, um, TEA and see if I can clear it up for ya.
Luna Lovegood: "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", by the Beatles. Because she's just so...trippy. And the names sound a little alike.
Draco Malfoy: "My Michelle", by Guns 'N' Roses. A song about, as far as I can tell, an underaged whore. I must admit that I've read so many "poor hurt Draco" fics that I'm starting to feel sorry for him. Anyway, I think he might approve--the guitarist has his own Snakepit.
Ginny Weasley: "White Wedding" by Billy Idol. I couldn't really think of any other songs about, say, annoying little sisters. So whatever.
Crookshanks and Mrs. Norris: "Cat Scratch Fever", by Ted Nugent. Yes, they share a song. And I happen to think that Mrs. Norris is darn cool.
The Hogwarts Express: "Magical Mystery Tour" by the Beatles. Another gimme. And another Beatles. Are you starting to sense a pattern here?
Knockturn Alley: "Waiting for my Man" by Lou Reed. You SO wouldn't want to be stuck waiting there waiting for your drug dealer.
Severus Snape: "Another Brick in the Wall", by Pink Floyd. Consider: "When we grew up in school, there were certain teachers who would hurt the children any way they could/By pouring their derision upon everything we did..." Anyway, Snape personifies "dark sarcasm in the classroom."
Albus Dumbledore: "White Summer" by Led Zeppelin. Yes, the song is instrumental. But it reminds me of Dumbledore's personality, and if you don't understand what I mean then you should go listen to the song. (Anyway, I had to get the Led out there somehow.)
Molly Weasley: "Lady Madonna" by the Beatles. She had, what, seven kids? One for every day of the week. Wow.
Lucius Malfoy: "Kill the Poor" by the Dead Kennedys. The only problem is that Lucius isn't being ironic when he says it.
Gilderoy Lockhart: "Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top. It's all about the image--it really is. Kenneth Branagh playing an egotist--wow, what a stretch, right?
Hermione Granger: "Stupid Girl" by Garbage. I know, it's really ironic because she's actually very smart, right? I think she's still very naive in some ways, but that may just be me.
The Ford Anglia: "Little Deuce 409" by the Beach Boys. Or any good car song, really, for such a cool vehicle.
Harry Potter: "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd. Here, I offer no explation. Just listen to the song and I think you may understand what I'm talking about here.
Every Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher: "This Year's Girl" by Elvis Costello. Every year, in and out like clockwork...
Alastor Moody: "Godwhacker" by Steely Dan. There is no better song for anybody whose job involves killing people.
Ron Weasley: "If I Had A Million Dollars" by the Barenaked Ladies. I know Ron's a very complex character, lots of emotion, but I can't get over the idea that he's comic relief. And poor, which kinda sucks.
I really like LJ cuts.
