Author's Notes:
Original Song Title/Artist: Satisfation by The Rolling Stones
Artist's/Author's Notes: Thanks to Minna for the idea. Enjoy!
This entry received an Honourable Mention in the challenge.
I can't get no putrefaction.
I can't get no putrefaction.
'Cause I try and I try and I try, still won’t die.
I can't get no, I can't get no.
When I'm mindin' my own business,
And some guy comes flashing green.
There ain’t no use in runnin’,
‘Cause the speed of light’s too fast for me.
Now ol’ Voldie’s got control of me.
I can't get no, oh no no no!
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.
I can't get no putrefaction.
I can't get no putrefaction.
'Cause I try and I try and I try, still won’t die.
I can't get no, I can't get no.
When I'm dyin’ in the mud,
And a man comes ‘round to tell me
I’m gonna be his puppet.
But he can't be a man, ain’t got a nose
or much of a soul, you see.
I can't get no, oh no no no!
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.
I can't get no putrefaction.
I can't get no zombie action.
‘Cause I try and I try and I try, still won’t die.
I can't get no, I can't get no.
When I'm chillin’ in my cave
And two guys come in and get on the boat
Then they’re headin’ to the island.
He’s sayin’, –Kill me, kill me, kill me.†— I can relate.
Don’t go and set fire to the lake.
I can't get no, oh no no no!
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.
I can't get no, I can't get no.
I can't get no putrefaction.
No putrefaction, no putrefaction, no putrefaction.
Author's Notes:
Original Song Title/Artist: Broken by Birthday Massacre
Artist's/Author's Notes: This band is a mixture of rock and other genres. I hope this counts for this challenge. This song may be played on a more underground radio station. I hope that counts as well.
Pain is a promise,
a darkness meant to subdue.
It makes me be honest
of the desires I feel.
Cursed heart, cursed mind
the place I've been.
Didn't you know
the Lestrange I am?
And love's what I've wasted
Two men I held in my grasp.
They're hiding their faces
from a heart so cold and crass.
Cursed heart, cursed mind
that place I've been.
Shouldn't you know
the Lestrange I am?
Author's Notes:
Original Song Title/Artist: Livin' On a Prayer - Bon Jovi
Artist's/Author's Notes: Blame late night watching of Glee (and a touch of movie canon)
Remus used to work at Hogwarts
Then Snivelly spilt the beans
And he lost his dream job...it's tough, so tough.
Tonks worked as an Auror all day,
Met Remus through the Order, so the Death Eaters bay
for blood, their blood.
She said, ‘I’m gonna hold on with all I've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If you’re a werewolf or not,
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love — let’s give it a shot.’
Whooah, Hogwarts is alight,
Fightin’ for what’s right.
Take my hand, Tonks, we’ll survive the night,
Fightin’ for what’s right.
Remus can’t afford more Wolfsbane,
Transforming at full moon
Caused far too much strain — it’s tough, so tough.
Tonks saw that he’d run away.
She cried in the night
Then whispered to their babe, ‘He’ll return ... someday.
‘So, we've got to hold on with all we’ve got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If he’s a werewolf or not,
We're three together and that's a lot
For love — we'll give it a shot.’
Whooah, Hogwarts is alight,
Fightin’ for what’s right.
Take my hand, Tonks, we’ll survive the night,
Fightin’ for what’s right.
Remus was the first on the scene,
Duelled with Dolohov,
Caught a curse of green, it’s tough, so tough.
Tonks left Teddy at home,
Hurried to the fight, but Bellatrix’s hex
Caused death, her death.
And so they held on ready or not,
But dying in the battle was all they got.
They had each other, but that wasn’t enough,
For love- they played their last shot.
Whooah, Hogwarts is alight,
Fightin’ for what’s right.
Take my hand, Tonks, we’ll survive the night,
Fightin’ for what’s right.
Duel to Party by Nagini Riddle
Author's Notes:
Original Song Title/Artist: Fight for your Right by The Beastie Boys
Artist's/Author's Notes: Can't you imagine the Weasley boys doing this song? Especially during the dreaded reign of Umbridge?
Flick it!
You find yourself in school boy you don't wanna go
You ask the teachers, "Please?" but they still say, "No!"
You have three classes with more homework
And Umbridge teaches class like you're some kind of jerk
You gotta duel- come on, duel!- to party
Umbridge caught you dueling and she said, "No way!"
That hypocrite uses magic all day
Merlin, being at school is such a drag
Now Umbridge took away your best Quibbler mag (That hag!)
You gotta duel- come on, duel!- to party
–Don't use magic here at school ‘cause there’s no danger anywhere.
I'll drop you out of my class if you don't check that glare!â€
The hall is going crazy, "Hey, what's that noise?"
Guess what Umbridge? It’s the Weasley Boys!
You gotta duel- come on, duel!- to party
You gotta duel- come on, duel!- to party
Weasley! Party!
Flying by 1000timesingoldenink
Author's Notes:
Original Song Title/Artist: Hot Air Balloon by Owl City
Artist's/Author's Notes: *pops in, writes song, then scuttles back to schoolwork and math*
When we were younger, some sweet fairytale
Went undercover for time to unveil,
And then this summer I beheld a spark in your eyes.
We all were gliding like the light that shone from the skies.
I waited all year, not sure what to hope,
But now I’ve made it here through the old Portrait Hole.
I take it in: the Quidditch win, you’re crossing the room —
And then at last the fire laughed, and none too soon
I’m holding you.
I’ll be out of free time,
We’ll all be facing the nightfall pretty soon.
So let’s chase an afternoon
While the hour’s opportune.
Leave the future for now,
Lean down and skim your toes across the lake.
And I’ll stay to dream with you until the shadows wake.
La la la la la, la
La la la la la, la
We let the Black Lake drown feet with its splash,
And both got stomachaches from having to laugh —
The Giant Squid, it never did release its grip on your shoes,
Though I recall they were too small for such a creature to use!
I’ll be out of free time,
We’ll all be facing the nightfall pretty soon.
So let’s chase an afternoon
While the hour’s opportune.
Leave the future for now,
Lean down and skim your toes across the lake.
And I’ll stay to dream with you until the shadows wake.
I’ll be out of free time,
We’ll all be fighting the darkness pretty soon.
So let’s chase an afternoon
While the hour’s opportune.
Leave the future for now,
Look up and feel the sunlight kiss your face.
And I’ll stay to dream with you until the shadows wake.
Extraordinary Witch by Nagini Riddle
Author's Notes:
Original Song Title/Artist: Extraordinary Girl by Green Day
Artist's/Author's Notes: Well, this could be anyone, really. I had in mind Hermione at first, but then it became slowly more like Merope, so, in all reality, this song is about a witch that is a mix between those two characters...
She's an extraordinary witch
In a Muggle-bearing world
And she wishes to run away
He shies away from her rich mind
Turns away from her insight
Like a crup left out all day
She's by herself again
Wiping what just fell from her eyes
Some days he feels like dying
She gets so sick of crying
She sees an image of herself
Setting him under her spell
And whisking him away
He comes along for her kiss
Who knew it would end like this
Now he’s gonna get away
She's all alone again
Left inside of her own mind
Some days he feels like dying
She gets so sick of trying
She's by herself again
Left to fend in this strange world
Her days are filled with sighing
Her days are slowly dying
These times are not worth fighting
But she gets so sick of crying
She's an Extraordinary witch
an Extraordinary witch
an Extraordinary witch
an Extraordinary witch
How to Brew a Potion by Hypatia
Author's Notes:
Original Song Title/Artist: How To Make A Monster by Rob Zombie
First you dice a valerian root, add in a lionfish spine
Silver knife to slice a spleen of newt, crush them, not too fine
How to brew a potion, baby; time to wave your wand
How to brew a potion, baby; time to wave your wand
Stir stir clockwise, stir stir anti-clockwise
Stir stir clockwise, stir stir anti-clockwise
If done well, then time will tell; mix in three sprigs of wolfsbane,
Bicorn horn, and briar thorn, heat cauldron over flame
How to brew a potion, baby, time to wave your wand
How to brew a potion, baby, time to wave your wand
Stir stir clockwise, stir stir anti-clockwise
Stir stir clockwise, stir stir anti-clockwise
The Fiendfyre Raged by Al Clark
Author's Notes:
Original Song Title/Artist: "Locomotive Breath" by Jethro Tull
Artist's/Author's Notes: Imagine, if you will, that after the second chorus there is a rocking flute solo that is so strenuous it includes a gasp for breath.
In the shuffling magic
Of the Hogwarts Express
Rode the all time loser
Headlong to his death
Oh, his gang was back in favor
They'd rule at Hogwarts now
But young Harry stole the Horcrux
And the Fiendfyre raged all over
No way to slow down
O-o-oh
He got his chance to Cruciate
His classmates one by one
His teacher and his best friend
Were joining in the "fun"
Oh, he tried to smite his enemies
With the killing curse
But young Harry stole the Horcrux
And the Fiendfyre raged all over
No way to slow down
Hey-he-ey
He hears the Fiendfyre howling
It's burning down the room
And the all-time winner
Has got the only brooms
Oh, he picks up Nature's Nobility
He'll never see the sequel
I think Ghod he stole the Horcrux
And the Fiendfyre raged all over
No way to slow down
Flight of Death by Nagini Riddle
Author's Notes:
Original Song Title/Artist: Viva la Vida by Coldplay
Artist's/Author's Notes: Um, so, Google tells me that Coldplay is alternative rock, so I figured that I could use this song idea that has been on my mind since I first joined the boards... In case you can't tell, the song is about Voldemort
I used to rule the world
My people came when I gave the word
Now every morning I sleep alone
Dwell in forests that are unknown
My hand would always strike
Felt the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen to my follower’s words:
"I’ll follow thee, my Lord! Long live my Lord!"
Their lives were all in my fist
Next my life was just a mist
And I discovered what a fool I’d been
Opportunity had fallen again
I feel my body and soul are shaking
My hold on life and rule is breaking
Oh magic has been my sword and shield
And even now, here, I refuse to yield
For some reason I can't explain
Luck has favored him once again
Again he lives
But I will always rule the world
It was the flick of my fearsome wand
That they all came into my bond
Slaughtered people who would not succumb
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
Watching for my one sealed fate
And the magic has ripped my soul
And it is swiftly taking its toll
I feel my body and soul are shaking
My hold on life and rule is breaking
Oh magic has been my sword and shield
And even now, here, I refuse to yield
For some reason I can't explain
Luck has favored him once again
Again he lives
But I will always rule the world
I feel my body and soul are shaking
My hold on life and rule is breaking
Oh magic has been my sword and shield
And even now, here, I refuse to yield
For some reason I can't explain
Luck has favored him once again
Again he lives
But I will always rule the world
Any House the Hat Chose by 1000timesingoldenink
Author's Notes:
Original Song Title/Artist: Bohemian Rhapsody
This entry won First Place in the challenge.
Is this my final year?
Is this the end of me?
Back to my worst fear--
When they kill for blood purity.
Don’t catch its eye!
Won’t somebody try to see?
I’m just a castle, secrets inside of me.
Basilisk, fatal stare,
Through my pipes, everywhere.
Any House the Hat chose, doesn't really matter to me, to me.
Hogwarts, I’ve stood for years,
I’ve held goblins, trolls, and elves,
I’ve seen wizards kill themselves.
Hogwarts, it has again begun,
But now I've gone and almost given up.
Hogwarts, what to do?
That Tom Riddle makes me cry,
He might take down the school that stood,
For eons, and eons, and to him it doesn’t matter.
Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my walls,
Petrified kids in the halls.
Goodbye, everybody, you've got to go,
Gotta leave me here behind to face the beast.
Hogwarts, I am through (any House the Hat chose),
I don't wanna die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been built at all.
I see a little second year boy and his friend,
Little boys, little boys, will you enter the Chamber?
Tension quickly heightening,
Very, very frightening me.
(In the Chamber) in the Chamber.
(In the Chamber) in the Chamber,
In the Chamber down below,
There they go!
She's just a poor girl, please let her go free.
She’s just a poor girl, did things she didn’t mean.
Spare her her life from the cursed diary.
Who is he? Don’t you know? Riddle is your foe--
Voldemort! No, he won’t let Harry go. (Let him go!)
Voldemort! He won’t let Harry go. (Let him go!)
Voldemort! He won’t let Harry go. (Let him go!)
Will not let you go. (Let him go!)
Never, never let him go,
Never let him go, oh.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Oh, snake is scary, hurry Harry! (Hurry Harry, here you go!)
The Sorting Hat has a weapon hid inside for you, for you, for you.
Did that hat, sword, and phoenix just stab that snake’s eye?
And the diary too, now will Tom Riddle die?
Oh, Harry, can’t be more thankful, Harry,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here.
(Oh, yeah, oh, yeah)
Doesn’t really matter,
What your blood may be.
Heroes really matter,
Heroes really matter to me.
(Any House the Hat chose)
