Mix: Red Versus Blue

Title: Red Versus Blue
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Some sex, some swearing.
Disclaimer: This is a work of parody. Although reference is made to real persons, the content is the product of the mixer's imagination only.

Onscreen, it's heated angry shouting. Offscreen, it's hot angry sex. This . . . is Formidable Opponent!

Heavily inspired by shishu1025's "100 Times Stephen Fell In Love With Himself" series, over at fakenews_fanfic.







High-quality version of the cover art here.


1) Ichiko Hashimoto - the other stranger
How did there come to be two Stephens? Cloning, magic, a trick with mirrors? We're not really sure.

[Instrumental.]


2) The Magnetic Fields - I Wish I Had An Evil Twin
It gets tiring, being a good person all the time.

My evil twin would lie and steal
And he would stink of sex appeal
All men would writhe
Beneath his scythe
He’d send the pretty ones to me
And they would think that I was he
I’d hurt them and I’d go scot free

I’d get no blame and feel no shame
’Cause evil’s not my cup of tea

Down and down we go
How low one would not need to know
All my life there should have been
An evil twin


3) They Might Be Giants - Lazyhead and Sleepybones
The opponent contradicts Stephen on everything. Sometimes it's just a matter of principle.

Lazyhead and Sleepybones
Always disagree
Though everybody says they should be friends
They're too tired to see

When Sleepybones says he's feeling tired
Lazyhead wants to rest
When Lazyhead says it's "number one"
Sleepybones says it's "best"

When Lazyhead uses imagination
Sleepybones daydreams
Sleepybones says "it's not what it looks like"
And Lazyhead says "it's not what it seems"


4) Anggun - Mes Désirs Contraires
For Stephen, who is full of internal contradictions, it's a blessed relief.

Comme une bague sans doigt
Un air de violon sans mélodie
Un royaume sans roi
Une opinion sans avis
Comme une rose de la boue je laisse le temps me faire
Courir de partout vers mes désirs contraires

Like a ring without a finger
A violin song without a melody
A kingdom without a king
An opinion without belief
Like a rose from the mud I let time make me
Run from everywhere towards my contrary desires


5) LeAnn Rimes - The Right Kind Of Wrong
It's obsessive, it's dark, it's needy, but when one of them says that they shouldn't do this, the other one immediately disagrees.

You walk in and my strength walks out the door
Say my name and I can't fight it anymore
Oh I know I should go
But I need your touch just too damn much
Loving you
Isn't really something I should do
Shouldn't wanna spend my time with you
Well, I should try to be strong
But baby you're the right kind of wrong


6) The Cars - Just What I Needed
He needs someone to care for, and he needs someone to hurt, and he finds them both in himself.

I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time
'Cause when you're standing oh so near
I kinda lose my mind...

I guess you're just what I needed
I needed someone to feed
I guess guess you're just what I needed
I needed someone to bleed


7) The Rasmus - The One I Love
The hurt outstrips the caring.

The one I love
Is striking me down on my knees
The one I love
Drowning me in my dreams
The one I love
Over and over again
Dragging me under


8) RENT - Take Me Or Leave Me
The breakup. (Lyrics have been tweaked just a bit.)

BOTH
That's it!

STEPHEN
The straw that breaks my back

BOTH
I quit

STEPHEN
Unless you take it back!

BOTH
Stephen!

STEPHEN
What is it about him?

BOTH
Can't live
With him or without him!

Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me, baby, or leave me!


9) Dave Mason - We Just Disagree
They don't have to agree, but in the end they can make peace.

So let's leave it alone
'Cause we can't see eye to eye
There ain't no good guys
There ain't no bad guys
There's only you and me and we just disagree

Yowza. You know, that shouldn't be as hot as it is ... but what can you do? *downloads* Thank you, m'dear!

[erinptah]

If one Stephen is good, it only makes sense that two Stephens are better :D Thank you!

Stephen wouldn't know what to do if there were no one to contradict him, even if they both completely miss the point. The progression was great through the creation of the opponent, their ongoing conflict, eventual concession, and their complicated "relationship" is realized well they're like gollum and smeagol ^_^. And, did I mention the cover art is totally hawt? It's totally hawt. And "Evil Twin" REALLY makes me think of Tyrone XD. *makes you batch of woot cookies*

[erinptah]

Stephen wouldn't know what to do if there were no one to contradict him...

So true. He'd argue with a rock if it was the only option.

"Evil Twin" would've gone on the Tyrone mix, but I just couldn't keep it off this one, and I'm trying not to repeat songs too much ^_^;

Thank you so much!
