Trek Fan Soundtrack

[miss_m_cricket]

Being the absolute music nut and musician I am this question tends to hop around my head a lot. A hell of a lot.

'What piece of music do you think of for...?'

I wanna know what songs you think of when you think of Jim, or Bones, or Spock, or Jim/Bones, Chekov, Reaper!Bones...anything really! Anything from the Trek universe. And I dont just mean like the actual movie soundtrack, thats given.

Any piece of music. Doesn't have to be lyrical really, even instrumental pieces can make you think of a certain fic or a certain piece of art, or a scenario that you have imagined.

General suggestions:

- Characters: Like Jim, Bones, Spock, Chekov, Sulu, Uhura, Scotty...on and on. What song do you hear as their theme?

- Pairings: eg. Jim/Bones, Jim/Spock, Spock/Bones, Bones/Chekov, Sulu/Chekov, Spock/Uhura...what do you hear when you read them?

- Fan related: Songs that make you think of a particular fandom fic or artwork?

- Doom Trek: Things that make you think of Reaper!Bones and everything related to that style 'verse.

So? I'm curious guys :)

aw man, i'm not nearly as cool as y'all.. my music is way older.

the easiest song for me to make up my mind on, is my jim's this-is-how-much-i-love-you song when he thinks of bones, which is avanti (10 don'ts for honeymooners) (http://www.tonys.demon.co.uk/monochrome/avanti.txt) by the monochrome set.

...
I'd build a pyramid on a pole
With Frosties packets and glue
I'd serve rubber bullets in bowl
And call it Irish stew

I'd change all the water into wine
And walk on the dead sea
I'd sing the song of the Golden Rhine
With an augmented flea

I'd make the world in seven days
I'd pasteurize the Milky Way
Sing, yi yi yip, yip yipee yay

I'd play hoop-la with Saturn's rings
I'd tie a knot in Erroll Flynn's
Sing, yi yi yip, yip yipee ying

I'd juggle with Jupiter's moons
I'd flaten the Sahara's dunes
Sing, yi yi yip, yip yipee yoon

I'd kick Mars into a black hole
I'd spread plum jam on Denning's rolls
Sing, yi yi yip, yip yipee yum
...

(if you look at the lyrics, the written "don't"s are all clearly "i'd"s when they sing it.)

otherwise jim feels like a wild card to me. i think of him sometimes when i listen to songs like rolling stones' prodigal son, or stray cat blues, and even songs like comfort eagle (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p99a6K81zqM), by cake.

Aw why are people on this thread apologizing for using old songs?! Nothin' wrong with that! And your comment reminds me I need to dig up my old Cake albums.

Also, your icon = awesome ;)
