i'd like to show you a million things

[schmerica]

So okay you guys, I was listening to my iPod on the bus today again -- it's like my new hobby or something -- and I was suddenly reminded of how Sleater-Kinney's "Lions and Tigers" is the best song ever in the history of the world for kidfic soundtracks. I'm obviously associating it with baby Wentz Way, but it works with anything.

Here, tell me what you think.

Also on my mind today was thinking about those bands where there was a relationship going on in the early days, but they only really got big after it was totally over between them (No Doubt, Sleater-Kinney, etc). Which is making me kind of want a story where Pete and Patrick DID have a thing at the very beginning of Fall Out Boy (and maybe a couple songs are about Patrick, technically) but had the amicable break-up and still managed to get to the platonic best friends forever guys they are in real life, right now.

So, yeah. Gimme.

WOULD THEY NOT BE THE BEST FRIENDLY COLLABORATING EXES EVER?

[annaalamode.livejournal.com]

YES. AND THEY KNOW THAT THEY ARE BFF SO THEY AREN'T GOING TO HAVE A MESSY BREAKUP. CAUSE THEY ARE STILL MEANT TO BE, EVEN IF NOT ROMANTICALLY.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

YES EXACTLY. LIKE THEY TRIED IT THAT WAY AND IT DIDN'T WORK, BUT WHATEVER, THAT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER BECAUSE THEY STILL HAVE EVERYTHING ELSE.

Also, the White Stripes. Where they PRETENDED TO BE RELATED. I think they still could have been the White Stripes if she'd changed her name back, she's plenty pale enough. Although I guess it was more to avoid all the questions about "so, what's it like being in a band with our ex-wife?"
