Another simulacrum song - robkelk - 03-05-2007
Know that something very strange
Is happening to my brain.
I'm either feeling very good
Or else I am insane.
The seeds of doubt you planted
Have started to grow wild
But feel that I must yield before
The wisdom of a child
And it's love you bring,
No that I can't deny,
With your wings,
I can learn to fly,
Sweet young thing.
People try to talk to me
Their words are ugly sounds
But I resist all their attempts
To try and bring me down.
Turned on to the sunset,
Like I've never done before.
And I listen for your footsteps
And your knock upon the door.
And it's love you bring,
With dreams of bluer skies
All these things,
When I see them in your eyes
Sweet young thing.
Sweet Young Thing, by the Monkees, written by Gerry Goffin, Carole King and Michael Nesmith, from the album The Monkees, 1966
Conjures a simulacrum of Sana Kurata.
(Hey, we never said all the simulraca would be combat-effective...)
(Edit: No, I can't (yet) figure out any way to work this into BSBW.)

Thank you, although I must admit someone else came up with the idea of linking this song to this character. (Specifically, Derek Janssen over on Usenet...)

Huh. In general, or in reference to Doug?

In general. I started a fluff thread yesterday asking about songs to go with characters, thinking that anything we couldn't use here might be good for songfics...
(Edit: And I've had two suggestions that might work that way - Chris Mattern's suggested "Lightnin' Strikes" for Ataru from Urusei Yatsura, and Catherine Johnson has suggested Don Henley's "Everything is Different Now" for DBZ's Vegita.)

Hm. Maybe you can pick their brains for good songs for Sailors Moon and Mercury...

I've tried, without being too obvious - no luck yet.
