karenhealeyThe NSW Writers' Centre gave me a shout out this week when they mentioned authors they think are doing blogging right:
Aw, you GUYS. That warmed my heart. The thing is, Internets, sometimes I research and think about blog posts a lot, it is true. It takes considerable time and effort, and I'm pleased whenever people notice it.
On the other hand, sometimes I'm like, hey, guys! Here are some songs that make me think about the Avengers (and Avengers adjacent people):
Iron Man - "Search and Destroy", Skunk Anansie
The Toniest of all Tony songs.
Look out honey, 'cause I'm using technology!
Ain't got time to make no apology
Soul radiation in the dead of night
Love in the middle of a fire fight
Honey gotta strike me blind
Somebody gotta save my soul
Pepper Potts - "Kryptonite", 3 Doors Down.
Because sometimes she's gotta wonder, what if I were the one falling apart?
You called me strong, you called me weak
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times I
Never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head, if
Not for me then you'd be dead
I picked you up and put you back
On solid ground
Black Widow - "Secret Agent", Melissa Etheridge
Not actually the kind of secret agent Melissa Etheridge is singing about, it's true.
You can't resist it
To be twisted in her suicidal thighs
Confessional lips
Professional fingertips
It's a deception to perfection
Her exceptional hips
BONUS: Vid of Star Trek ladies!
Thor - "Tubthumping", Chumbawumba
Because he gets knocked down! But he gets up again! You're never going to keep him down!
He drinks a whiskey drink, he drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink, he drinks a cider drink
Bruce Banner - "Save Me", Queen
Oh Bruce, you need a team so bad.
I hang my head and I advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have no heart, I'm cold inside
I have no real intent
Save me save me save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me save me oh
I'm naked and I'm far from home
Hawkeye - 40', Franz Ferdinand
Salt scales upon my drying arms
Burn my back beneath the sun
But I am cold beneath the burning rays
Looking down, looking down
Down, down again
Captain America - "The Star Spangled Man With A Plan".
Well, obviously.
Special shouts out to New Zealand YA author Karen Healey, too, for her well researched and thoughtful blog full of the sorts of musings you wish all your favourite authors would share with you.

Date: 2012-11-24 06:17 am (UTC)I have not even THOUGHT about that song in ages. And also ages. And you are so right, it is SUCH a happy-Thor song. (Because HE can drink all the whiskey drinks, and all the lager drinks, and all the cider drinks, and not even be drunk.)
