I thought it was a great song! It was sung by Anya in the epiode "Selfless." That was a cool idea...Flashback to "Once More With Feeling." It fit the episode so well. So what did you guys think of the song?
 
I LOVED the episode Selfess!! I'm constantly singing the sing in my head and the idea of a OMWF flashback was great!
 
I loved that episode but I really can't remember the song. I only saw it once and it was so long ago..... they really need to show season seven again before I go crazy!
 
Sorry..I'm not really a fan of the song..Dunno why really,I guess it was ok but certainly you won't find me humming it to my sleep
 
The song is a wonderful addition to that episode, especially the timing of it....it's heartbreaking. When the camera cuts back to Anya after the flashback, after all the happiness captured in the song, and you see her with the sword through her chest.....knowing that her dreams never came true. It hurt me. It made me feel all those same wretched feelings I felt in Hells Bells, when Xander walked away from her.

Anya was definitely one of the best side characters ever developed on Buffy. She was so funny and blunt, but she also evoked some of the truest emotions of any of the characters (like her breakdown in The Body or her walking down the aisle by herself in Hells Bells, after Xander has told her he can't marry her). Emma Caufield should be really proud of her work on the show. In my humble opinion...
 
I completely and totally agree with you storyteller. I also felt sad when I realized she had had so much that she looked forward to, and to know that her dreams never came true. It was definitely a great addition and really helped you feel for her character.
 
Its an awesome song and the flash back to it was just heartbreakingly perfect. I think i'll listen to it............. now... It's the greatest. Joss wrote it right? that man is just pure genius.
 
Does anyone have the words to "Mrs" or know where I could find them?
 
Here you go:

(singing) Mr. Xander Harris. (walks to him)
That's what he is to the world outside.
That's the name he carries with pride. (puts away his hard hat and tool box)
I'm just lately Anya.
Not very much to the world, I know.
All these years with nothing to show. (puts away his shoes)
I've boned a troll, I've wreaked some wrath,
But on the whole, I've had no path. (twirling)
I like to bowl, I'm good with math,
But who am I? (kneeling)
Now I reply that
I'm the Missis (looks at engagement ring)
I will be his Missis.
Mrs. Anya Christina Emanuella Jenkins Harris. (twirling, dancing)
What's the point of loving...
I mean except for the sweaty part. (gathers pillows)
What's the point of losing your heart?
Maybe if you're lucky
Being a pair makes you twice as tall. (gathers a blanket)
Maybe you're not losing at all. (opens blanket)
No need to cover up my heart, (spreads blanket on Xander)
Plus see above RE: sweaty part.
So maybe love is pretty smart
Then so am I
I found my guy!
And I'll be Missis (sits on his lap while the recliner spins)
I will be his Missis
Mrs. Anya Lame-Ass-Made-Up-Maiden-Name Harris.
We'll never part (walks into the kitchen)
Not if we can
And if we start
Then here's my plan
I'll show him what bliss is
Welcome him with kisses
'Cause this is a Missis who misses her man
He's my Xander
And he's awfully swell
He makes financial sense as well,
Although he can be"”I'll never tell"”
Just stand aside
Here comes the bride (goes through balcony door, and is suddenly in wedding gown)
I'll be Missis.
I will be his Missis
I will be"”
 
Mr. Pointy
Mr. Pointy
