Fanmix: Everybody's Feeling Strange

Summary:

The fanmix for my SorcererSupreme!Tony story, a.k.a. my 2011 SciFi & Fantasy Big Bang story.

Notes:

This isn't anywhere near a serious mix. It's fairly tongue in cheek, although some of the songs are of a serious nature. The final song is where the titles for both the story and the mix come from. (Also, the terrible pun in the mix's title was, believe it or not, entirely accidental.)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

1. Queen - A Kind of Magic
The story revolves around all kinds of different magics.

The day will dawn on sanity
Is this a kind of magic?

2. Guns N' Roses - Sympathy For the Devil (Rolling Stones cover)
The Red Skull is responsible for so much pain and he's proud of it all.

I rode a tank, held a general's rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank

3. Patrick Doyle - Science and Magic
Tony knows that they're two different sides of the same coin.

Instrumental

4. Ozzy Osbourne - Mr. Crowley
The magic that the Skull and Loki use is not the same as what Tony uses.

Your lifestyle to me seems so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic

5. David J's Cabaret Oscuro - Time (David Bowie cover)
Time moves on no matter what we want and is lost to us.

Time - He's waiting in the wings
He speaks of senseless things
His script is you and me, boy

6. David Bowie - Sense of Doubt
Tony's growing doubt in his own ability.

Instrumental

7. Matchbox Twenty - These Hard Times
Steve's lost everything he knew.

Say goodbye, these days are gone and we can't, keep holding on,
When all we need, is some relief through these hard times.

8. Stevie Nicks - Rooms on Fire
Tony and Steve are drawn to each other and they don't know why.

Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Every time that you walk in the room

9. Oingo Boingo - Fill the Void
Steve's alone in a new world, trying to find meaning in his life.

Don't ya know they all called my name
What do they want from me?

10. America - You Can Do Magic
Steve's awed by Tony's arcane skills, even if he doesn't let it show.

I never believed in things that I couldn't see
I said if I can't feel it then how can it be
No no magic could happen to me and then I saw you

11. Sting & Eric Clapton - It's Probably Me
A deep friendship springs to life between the two men.

But if there's one guy, just one guy
Who'd lay down his life for you and die,
I hate to say it, I hate to say it, but it's probably me.

12. Meat Loaf - In the Land of the Pig, the Butcher is King
Red Skull and Loki aren't content to let things lie.

What do you expect? They've got no standards
So we lower the bar 'cause they're waiting for us

13. David Bowie - Strangers When We Meet
Bonds of friendship and a team formed out of unexpected meetings.

All your regrets ride rough-shod over me
I'm so glad that we're strangers when we meet

14. Bon Jovi - Everyday
No more looking to the past - life is to be lived!

Goodbye to all my yesterdays
Goodbye, so long, I'm on my way

Notes:

May 2022: I've updated this with a link to a Spotify playlist.

Apologies both for the severely truncated lyrics and that some of the songs are different or missing; when the artists differ, the originals referenced were not available on Spotify. Apparently, someone decided to report all my decade-plus-old fanmixes with too-lengthy quotes and broken links, so.... *shrug*
