longsufferingly

So I'd been meaning to do a Tractorbeam EP that showed off just how terrible some of my music is. And yesterday I was making a new playlist for myself and was reminded that I was going to do that.

fuckit: a tractorbeam ep

01. Say Hi To Your Mom : Your Brains vs. My Tractorbeam
at dawn the day was ghastly
like a western but in the east
we spent the night training for showdowns
and microwaving marshmallow treats
It is my assumption this song is about an epic superhero battle. I don't really care. Also, by using it as my title, I kind of implied that this was a Jared POV story, because Jensen's got the brains and Jared's got the tractorbeam. Whatever.

02. Jonathan Coulton : Skullcrusher Mountain
I've been patient
I've been gracious
and this mountain is covered in wolves
Like Sheldon, Jensen is possibly one lab accident away from being a supervillain.

03. Plastic Constellations : Let's War
holy crap that serpent's breathing fire
we're gonna kill it with our longass swords
Jensen, Gabe, and Chad have D&D games that go exactly like this song.

04. Catatonia : Mulder and Scully
I'd rather be jumping ship, I find myself jumping straight in
forever be dozy and dim, I wake myself thinking of him
I am shocked that Jensen made no attempts to exorcise his pesky feelings with the help of one or more fictional characters. Also, fuck yeah, Catatonia.

05. William Shatner : I Wanna Sex You Up
what.

06. Linda Lavin : You've Got Possibilities
I'm not Queen Victoria
that vest has to go
This is a song from the Superman musical.
Yes, there is a Superman musical.
Yes, I do own the soundtrack to the Superman musical. What of it.

07. Cars Can Be Blue : I'm Dating Batman
met him last week at a superhero dance
he said, "I can see myself in your pants"
thought he'd have a better line than this
but you can't say no to Batman, so I gave him a kiss
I have no particular justification for this. Nor do I feel I need one.

08. The Pipettes : Sex
you know I'm all for conversation, I'm really quite romantic you know,
why not get right to the point, it's not that often we are left alone
This is what Jared was thinking when he was trying to hit on Jensen after their date and Jensen didn't notice.

09. Bruce Lesnick : Modern Physics in Five Easy Verses
e equals mc squared my boys
e equals mc squared
Jensen found this song and made Jared listen to it a billion times. After that, Jensen loved him more.

10. Hello Saferide : The Quiz
can you sleep if I grind my teeth
will you look away if I slop when I eat
will you let me be myself
can you at all times wear socks cuz I'm still scared of feet
This is not actually the quiz Jensen gave Jared shortly after they started going out, but he did make a quiz. That happened.
