Everything Right is Wrong Again - They declare the song is over now with a minute and 20 seconds of runtime left
S-E-X-X-Y - Flans’ idea of sexy time decadence is a woman laying in bed eating a cookie like Homer Simpson
The Sun Is a Miasma of Incandescent Plasma - Corrected a decades old song from their childhood because they didn’t want to look stupid on Here Comes Science
Pictures of Pandas Painting: SKAAATEBOARDS! SKATEBOARDS! (shreds guitar)
The Guitar - Flans just wants to know whose playing the guitar but the damn brass players keep drowning him and the titular guitar out. Also “hush my darling/ be still my darling / the lion’s on the phone”
When Will You Die? - One of the very few songs where the Johns are literally singing as themselves. In fact, the entire band is addressed and is therefore wondering when YOU, the listener, will die.
Here’s my piece for CORB and I’m super excited to share with you all!
Full disclosure, this was initially inspired by Roo’s Sword Of Mages tattoo au, because the brain rot is real with that body art symbolism. The idea of Baz being associated with florals fandom-wide led me to design a silly little tattoo of a bee for Simon, because pollination/symbiotic relationship/all that mushy stuff.
It’s the end of the school year and I’m a hot mess, so I submitted a general hashed out idea and an apology and got paired with @bazzybelle, who is an absolute gift and delight, and took this tiny snippet of words and just RAN with it in the best way.
Throughout the planning, we were weird, and then got weirder than usual (it’s our brand at this point I think), and then dragged our spouses into the mess by subjecting them to a bunch of bee related puns. And then into musicals. It was all downhill from there.
So please enjoy this delightful collaboration, along with song choices (you’ll see the two songs @bazzybelle used for the title and jokes, and the They Might Be Giants song that’s on Simon’s T-shirt- no one can convince me that that dweeb wouldn’t love TMBG).
i know mlm people are like “haha dragon bf” but think about it. a huge dragon who keeps you warm and u can kiss him and he kisses you and he says he loves you it a deep raspy voice and u can ride him place and he IS ur bed.
You get the limo out front Hottest styles, every shoe, every color Yeah, when you’re famous, it can be kinda fun It’s really you, but no one ever discoversIn some ways you’re just like all your friends But on stage you’re a starYou get the best of both worlds Chill it out, take it slow Then you rock out the show You get the best of both worlds Mix it all together And you know that it’s the best of both worldsYou go to movie premiers (was that Orlando Bloom?) Hear your songs on the radio
“They call me Dr. Worm. Good morning, how are you? I’m Dr. Worm” is such a raw line youd think it’s from shakespeare but it’s actually from doctor worm
[video: the beginning of Birdhouse In Your Soul. “I’m your only friend/ I’m not your only friend/ But I’m a little glowing friend/ But really I’m not actually your friend/ But I am/ Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch/ Who watches over you/ Make a little birdhouse in your soul/ Not to put too fine a point on it/ Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet/ Make a little birdhouse in your soul”
The visuals switch between photos of blue petri dishes on a purple background. Each dish has a face (a smile, neutral expression, and OwO) drawn on it in bacteria.]
Trying some experimental animation! Petri dishes and photography done by @the-blue-phantom
