What Song Should Candi Sing?
10 years ago
General
If you are following my comic here, you know that Candi is high on Vicodin at work and about to burst into song. So I thought, what would be really funny? I will ask my readers!
So what song is she about to peal out?
So what song is she about to peal out?
FA+

"Me n' You an' You n' Me.."
- Zappa & the Mothers (I think it was the White Album).... 7@=Q

Just something about it. ^^
"Any Way You Want It" by Journey.
"Touch-a-touch-a-touch-a-touch Me" from Rocky Horror. (Or, maybe even better, "Sweet Transvestite".)
"(Come On Baby) Light My Fire" by The Doors.
"I Just Had Sex" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQlIhraqL7o
How about...
Internet Porn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxYVBNhJ3pc
Do You Take It https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlj7zNdHv30 (I have memories of singing that with my boyfriend on the return leg of a boring school trip to NYC... three hours on a bus full of uptight kids, argh, it's amazing we didn't sing other things)
... maybe I should stop now. I think I need coffee... XD
"I see trees of blue. Plaid roses, too!
I see them zoom, around me and you.
And I think to myself, what a wonderful drug!"
Okay, I'll leave now. :)
Not only the lyrics are clearly written under the influence, the song is *extremely* recognizable.

Seeing Candi get emotional over the cake in the rain should be something...
She can sing "why do birds suddenly appear..."
And a bunch of birds can be like "we were at the table in the corner the whole time!"
I remember my own experience some 40-odd years ago of being prescribed Vicodin for the very first time, though I forget exactly what was causing my pain (probably an ear infection, since I'm prone to those).
But I do clearly recall that after the stuff took affect, I was swaying back and forth a lot and I couldn't stop singing this song:

For a G rating... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYrkQL1bX4A (the original, not-mash-up, Cooking by the Book, from Lazy Town.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP6IUqrFHjw
("I like coffee, I like tea...")
Whoops Mr. Moto, I'm a coffee pot...
Or...
Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves by Cher
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O63COyZlTyU
Or Space Oddity, since we know Major Tom's a junkie.
Then I thought Lovin' Spoonful, for the gamers in your audience:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUhOnX8qt3I
I Love To Singa - Owl Jolson (1936)
The Beautiful Briny Sea:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frfadf6LjmE
Always I Want to Be With You:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MC0G-Lbuuk
I'M FEELIN, A LITTLE PECULIAR:

..Okay so maybe the last one I just can't help but post everywhere because it's so freakin' funny and isn't really a suggestion, but who cares? It's always worth a watch.
kinda Pervy: I tough my self (I forgot the woman that sang it)
Trippy: Incense and Peppermints Or Lucy in the Sky
Funny: Anything by Weird Al Yankovic
Maybe its summer and she thinks its July 4th and sings the National Anthem?
How about music from Tiny Toon Adventures or Animaniacs or Friendship is Magic? :)
On Vicodin at work? she would probably sing this!:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OO9LloDSJo
what everyone else would be singing, though:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72d4THmJ4ug
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17o1OlroNSE
Oh Land - White Nights
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LcL7MAqwOc
Alizee - Blonde (nothing like breaking into French)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJpVlFMHz1E
Julie Brown - 'Cause I'm A Blonde
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ol4oWChjzk
B-52's - Topaz (my fav abstract song)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjyJ7pSUnYU
Finally, because Candi is a waitress
Puffy AmiYumi - Cake is Love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeQVOV8yMvQ
And she can tease the men sitting at the tables about being her candyman -- never mind their wives or girlfriends.
or try Sunshine on my Shoulders.
Although how you're going to choose from all these suggestions is beyond me...
or
I gotta be me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl4SRVXgGiI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knzMFC6s4Bw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJmfz37W_94
I think 'Sunshine Superman' myself
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCQ0LmZkSjQ
But to suggest my own, how do I decide on one (that isn't hideously obscure)? Let's see...
"You spin me round (like a record)" by Dead or Alive?
"The Look" by Roxette?
"Fireflies" by Owl City?
Um, "Magic Dance" by David Bowie from Labyrinth
I don't know, never mind me. Forget I said anything.

"...Puff!!! ... the magic rainbow, lives by the sea,
and trollops with an august wrist
in the land of honey beeeeees....whooo!"
Never been on Vicodin, but heavy duty steroids, plus caffiene, minus sleep divided by three days somehow makes Arfenhouse and Baman+Piderman into abstract intellectual and philosophical guides.
Make that someone reading the owners' manual to her microwave oven in a language she doesn't understand set to the Hamster Dance and we may have something. :P
....my opinion.

Is also one of those songs you'll probably come back to just for amusement.
YOSHI JUICE FOR EVERYONE!
From the 80s
speaking of epic... Deep purple's "Sweet child in time". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfAWReBmxEs maybe too heavy... but, still.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-gqMpZroy8
(or perhaps "Penguin in Bondage"?) 7@=Q
For a psychedelic feeling I suggest, "Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf, or, "Growers Of Mushroom" by Leaf Hound.
If she is feeling frisky then, "It's Raining Men" by the Weather Girls.
If after while she comes down and gets depressed, I suggest, "Damn Right I Got the Blues" by Buddy Guy.
Of course, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from the Wizard of Oz would definitely fit in with black and white to colored change technique you used, which also used in that film.
I look forward to seeing what happens.
