Music and the Jossverse: Do you ever...

[BuffyElevated]

...hear songs and think "That would have been perfect in (insert scene of Jossverse show)"?

I do this all the time. For instance, every single time I hear Ke$ha's "Tik Tok" I think of that scene in "Angel" where Faith's in the club beating the crap out of everyone. LOL

And right now? I'm listening to Taio Cruz's "Higher" and thinking it sounds like a song Buffy would have worked out to in the library. I can totally see Giles begging her to turn "that noise" down. LMAO

Usually if I hear a song and think Btvs/angel its cause I'm thinking OMG This would be perfect for a video lol.

This always happens to me. I hear songs and particular verses i like OMG I could so vid this to a particular scene 😀

All the time. I used to make videos way back in 2005, I wanna do more right now but forgot how. There's a Pink song I heard "Perfect" that's so perfect for Xander.

Yes! There's a lot of Damien Rice songs I'd wish they'd used for the sad-ish scenes. Would've worked perfectly.

Nope, can't say I've ever thought that. I think they did a pretty awesome job with the music in the Whedonverse.

(The only one that I can think about off-hand that annoys me is the montage with "Touched" by Vast in the Ats ep "Lonely hearts". I like the song, I just don't think it fits and the whole thing just seems out of place. But I've never thought of a song that could replace it)

Sometimes. When I hear a song, I think "This would be perfect for this or that scene".. then I make a video with it 🙂

Wow, this is me all the time. You have no idea. For example, when I first heard the song "Elephant Woman" by Blonde Redhead, I immediately started mapping out a fanvideo in my head centered around the Bangel-related events of Season 2. The first word of the song is "Angel", and from there the whole thing came to life in my head. (In case anyone is interested, I posted this video over in "Whedonverse Videos--" I just made it about a month ago!)

But I constantly associate songs with characters/ story arcs. That's what you get when you've got a bunch of well-developed characters; they end up sticking with you and popping up all of the time!

 

[OhWow]

This happens to me all the time.

 

[paks]

lf I die young is one of those songs for me. I think it is perfect for Buffy.

I'm constantly making up fanvids in my head to whatever song is playing. If I've seen a good fanvid for a particular song, then I'll replay it in my head while listening to the song.
