So in [livejournal.com profile] bexless's picspam today, she made a brief Meatloaf reference, which I then picked up on in her comments, and somehow it ended with her forcing me to watch the video to "I Would Do Anything For Love" which I had somehow managed to completely miss before now. (My Meatloaf love is strong, but it is pretty exclusively first Bat Out of Hell album.)

Anyway. Because it's me and Bex, this somehow led to a ridiculous tangent of awesome.

[livejournal.com profile] bexless: i'm watching the video now too and howling with laughter. you know gerard and ray sing the shit out of this at kareoke

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: ahahahahahaha.
[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: ...man, is there any song that's not hilarious to imagine ray and gerard doing as a karaoke duet?

[livejournal.com profile] bexless: NO

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: there's that one interview where gerard talks about karaoke, but that was pre-sober so he's like "i only do it when im drunk!"

[livejournal.com profile] bexless: yeah!
[livejournal.com profile] bexless: and frank was all 'he rocks the shit out of living on a prayer!'
[livejournal.com profile] bexless: then mikey started going on about popsicles.
[livejournal.com profile] bexless: &MCR;

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: heeeeee, yes.

[livejournal.com profile] bexless: but when mcr supported bon jovi gerard said he still does livin on a prayer at kareoke
[livejournal.com profile] bexless: which i REALLY hope is true, omg

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: \o/

[livejournal.com profile] bexless: wait, when did frank get his halloween tats?

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: i have no idea. i am really bad at timelines.

[livejournal.com profile] bexless: *checks*

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: i seriously have no idea what the fuck is going on here. *still watching*
[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: i think there's lesbian sex happening, though.

[livejournal.com profile] bexless: he didn't get the tats until after they made the INO video, for which gerard was (just) sober.
[livejournal.com profile] bexless: but he has them in this picture, in which he is watching gerard do some very emotional kareoke
[livejournal.com profile] bexless: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/bexless/Rare%20MCR/msg-119801955056.jpg
[livejournal.com profile] bexless: ergo: gerard does kareoke sober
[livejournal.com profile] bexless: this makes me happy

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: YAY
[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: &CANON;

[livejournal.com profile] bexless: I KNOW RIGHT???

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: I FEEL THIS FACT SHOULD BE REFLECTED IN MORE FIC.

[livejournal.com profile] bexless: it's hard to write kareoke without it being lame, i guess

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: yeah, but. i like lame.

[livejournal.com profile] bexless: like, you and I want our chosen pairings to get up and sing duets together
[livejournal.com profile] bexless: or sing schmoopy love songs to each other
[livejournal.com profile] bexless: but we are well known for liking schmaltz rolled in sugar
[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: this is true.

[livejournal.com profile] bexless: like a happyfic donut

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: heeeee.

[livejournal.com profile] bexless: om nom nom

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: OM NOM NOM EMPTY CALORIES

[livejournal.com profile] bexless: empty calories, like happyfic, taste delicious, though

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: no, but. i can totally see ray and gerard having a song they always do together.
[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: for frank/gerard i can just see frank in the audience laughing at/encouraging gerard on.

[livejournal.com profile] bexless: yeah!
[livejournal.com profile] bexless: and later gerard is all 'you never sing to me!' pretend pouting, and frank's like, you've heard leathermouth and pencey, bb, you know why. i can only sing to you if you cheated on me and i slashed your tires and wish you burned to death in your house. whereas gerard and ray do their duet and they're sort of giggly and being silly but also like, they sound awesome together AND THEY KNOW IT and in the car on the way home they very earnestly discuss how their voices are the vocal metaphor for their love

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: AHAHAHAHHAHA.
[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: YES.
[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: for some reason, i imagine mikey and frank stuck in the backseat during tha entire conversation.

[livejournal.com profile] bexless: making vomiting faces at each other like they can't believe how smooshy gerard and ray are , even though their respective ugly love tattoos tell a different, mushbally story

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: totally!

[livejournal.com profile] bexless: aaaaand now i'm in a moulin rouge place with gerard and ray resolving every fight they have with gerard coming into the room and singing the first line of their song in a tiny voice, and ray pretending to be mad so gerard sings ray's line, and then his own next line, and eventually ray gives in and sings his part, and they do the whole song a cappella in their living room

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: IT IS PATHETIC HOW STILL KIND OF IN CHARACTER THAT WOULD BE.

[livejournal.com profile] bexless: I KNOW RIGHT???
[livejournal.com profile] bexless: ERICA IN ANY OTHER FANDOM THAT WOULD NOT BE CANONICALLY PLAUSIBLE

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: I KNOOOOOOOOOOW
[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: SERIOUSLY THESE DUDES WHAT THE FUCK?

[livejournal.com profile] bexless: <333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: <33333333

[livejournal.com profile] bexless: then obviously gerard and ray have cuddly make up sex. meanwhile in the frank/gerard version of this story, frank calls gerard's cell and gerard won't answer because he's mad about something, so frank booms barry white at his voicemail in a stupid deep voice.
[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: ahahahahaha.

[livejournal.com profile] bexless: I LOVE HOW OUR MOST ADORABLE IDEAS WORK WITH EITHER OF
OUR PAIRINGS, ERICA!

I think he has a lot of repressed rage going on. Deep within his chubby exterior lies the dark soul of Garry waiting to be let free.

Garry will go and draw creepy-ass comic book revenge fantasies, I will be bitchy on the internet, and meanwhile the kitten will kick that fluffy string's metaphorical ass.

I bet a lot of their conversations are like the C conversation. With Gerard going "Can I have...?" and Ray going "No" and Gerard going "Why?" and Ray saying "Because!" and Gerard going "Can I have it later, then?" and Ray going "...Yeah, okay". Like way back when they first met, and Gerard asked if Ray would write a song for a crazy sugar-addled lobster riding cartoon character. Or like during the making of Bullets, when Gerard had those problems with his teeth and he was pretty high on morphine and asked if -as part of their concept- they could all wear band outfits and march around as the noisy undead. Or that time mid-performance at one of the festival shows when it occurred to him that Ray might like a blow job.

Honey, you've seen that video before. But, it was like, 10 years ago. It was on a Pop Up Video

Yeah, what I actually said to Bex was that I might have seen it before, but I didn't remember it at all, so I was unfamiliar with it. I WAS SIMPLIFYING FOR THE POST, OKAY.

Serously, though, I don't get that video at all.

But why are the police there to begin with, when everything else seems to be renaissance or medieval? And are she and him in like different dimensions or something where they can't see each other? Or can she just not see him? But then she does? And where does the lesbian sex come into it? And why does that couch thing fly through the air?
