Music Meme

A re-run of the meme where you list the fics you've named after song lyrics or titles (I've seen it described both ways). The one's that are new are in bold

I think mine can be split up into 4 main groups:


Children of the Revolution (http://redfiona99.livejournal.com/1053736.html) - Taken from Children of the Revolution by T-Rex (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpVqWS-cUKc). This particular part of the series was always called this, and was the reason why the series was written, not least because I first had the idea when I heard this playing over an advert for Fable III.

All The Things She Said Running Through My Head (http://redfiona99.livejournal.com/947394.html) - By TATU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mGBaXPlri8. I prefer the Russian version - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F-JfWqMG6g). The fic got a song lyric because, at the time, I'd intended for all of 'Becoming' to have song titles as their titles. But that fell by the wayside.

Dirty Little Secret (http://redfiona99.livejournal.com/689569.html) - Taken from 'Dirty Little Secret' by All-American Rejects - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPDcwjJ8pLg&ob=av2e Originally I wanted a line from 'Private Eye' by Alkaline Trio (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4Wh6LklD4M&feature=fvst) but I couldn't find a suitable one in the song.

Go To Sea Once More (http://archiveofourown.org/works/66896) is from the Dubliners song of the same name (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd8BdB6c-0U) or at least I know it as a Dubliners song.

Eternity (http://archiveofourown.org/works/67028) has a title taken from Robbie Williams's song of the same name (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E16qbwzlxBM), but then again it would since the challenge was to base the fic off it.




A New Dawn, A New Day, A New Life (http://redfiona99.livejournal.com/1007956.html) - From Feeling Good. Nine Simone version prefered :) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5Y11hwjMNs)

Bang, Bang, Bang On The Door (http://redfiona99.livejournal.com/706402.html) - Taken from, of course, 'Love Shack' by the B-52s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw7guzT6ANI)

Ashes Of Disaster (http://redfiona99.livejournal.com/655718.html) which will be finished one day - take from 'The Roses of Success' from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GND10sWq0n0)

San Francisco Bay (http://redfiona99.livejournal.com/625336.html) is taken from 'Don't Marry Her' by The Beautiful South (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHnhMvSxOf0 soooo not safe for work)

The Moth Don't Care If The Flame Is Real (http://redfiona99.livejournal.com/595940.html) is taken from a line in 'The Moth' by Aimee Mann (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qtA2sRoQKQ)

Chance Won't Come Again (http://archiveofourown.org/works/67176) is from 'The Times They Are A-Changing' by Bob Dylan (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHMBs5yZDEc)

Never Been Tested Don't Think I Would Pass (http://archiveofourown.org/works/67143) is taken from a line in The Mighty Mighty Bosstones's 'The Impression That I Get' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIGMUAMevH0&ob=av2n)




Still Not The Same (http://redfiona99.livejournal.com/702463.html) - Sort of taken from 'Another Night (Another Dream)' by Real McCoy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pav2f4b-1ZE&ob=av2e I'd love to defend my musical taste and claim the only reason I did it was because this is the song mentioned in the prompt, except I love this track.

This Fire Is Out Of Our Control (http://redfiona99.livejournal.com/640483.html) is adapted from 'This Fire' by Franz Ferdinand (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHUxS8qkO8M)

Road To Nowhere (http://redfiona99.livejournal.com/771614.html) may share it's name with 'The Road To Nowhere' by Talking Heads (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWtCittJyr0), but the inspiration is also partly 'The Road To Hell' by Chris Rea (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EBw_da7BZk) and was very nearly called that, but I decided that was over-dramatic.




Communications Breakdown (http://redfiona99.livejournal.com/642345.html) - From the Led Zeppelin track of the same name (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoqQnR8NOVI) Apparently I have been mishearing the lyrics for years.

A Real Green Time (http://redfiona99.livejournal.com/451614.html) is me mishearing the chorus of Pink's 'Feel Good Time' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNJqTVnZsCU&feature=related)
