I'm a big music moocher. That means I ask other people what they like, and then listen to their stuff to see if I like it. I mooch off of [personal profile] my_daroga all the time. In the past I have mooched off of [personal profile] a2zmom, [profile] imnotacommitee, and [personal profile] stoney321, and got [personal profile] crazydiamondsue to send me Buffy soundtracks. I also mooched off of both my brothers, my parents, an ex, my first internet friend. Most recently I poached a song from [personal profile] stultiloquentia. Today I spent all day organizing my music because a friend gave me a big honkin' mix of almost entirely new-to-me artists, based on what she knew of my tastes.

So! I'd like to mooch off some of my flist. But I want to do it experimental style. You may or may not remember a post I did about wanting to make a Spock soundtrack. Forget about it! You don't have to know or care about Spock. What I want to do is ask for musical recommendations based on theme. Sound wacky? Sure, it's an experiment. See if you can do it.

Here's this week's challenge: give me songs about two different worlds. It can be about being from two worlds, or torn between two worlds, or just the difference between two worlds. It can be about star crossed lovers, like Romeo and Juliet. It can be about your momma being a beauty queen and your daddy being a cowboy. It can be about being half-robot. It can be about a fish being in love with a whale, or about East and West Berlin, or about wanting to be a Jamaican bobsledder.

Feel free to link to a clip of a song, if you're recommending it, but if you don't have one or don't have time, I'll try to look 'em up on my own. So, songs about two worlds. Have at it! Please?

1. I love that song, Sexy Back, by Justin Timberlake. Almost as much as I love Draco Malfoy but it's even more confusing and twice as shameful. *hangs head; feels alone*
2. I didn't know All Along The Watchtower. And yet I <3 Dylan.
3. I recently got Loudon Wainwright and Warren Zevon mixed up.
4. I love that song, Careless Whispers. You know, the one they play in the dentist's office, the "I'm never gonna dance again / guilty feet have got no rhythm" one. George Micheal, I guess. The one redeeming thing about it is I love the Ben Fold's/Rufus Wainwright version, not so much the original.
5. I didn't know "Because" was by the Beatles.
6. I wanted to use a lyric from "Teach Your Children" for a title of dirtybadreallyreallyreallywrong pornfic.
7. I listened to Pop Goes My Heart on the way to work today and was loving it so much, I was constructing a Angel/Buffy, Angel/Cordy, Angel/Connor vid in my head. About Angel's heart going pop. Yeah. That.
8. In fact pretty much all I think about when I hear songs these days are, would that make a good vid? or: would that work in a character mix thing? I have a really great Irish sea chanty thing by Ween that so needs to be Liam's theme song.
9. I burned a cd for [livejournal.com profile] seraphcelene, but I haven't sent it to her yet. Three months ago I also burned a cd for my s-i-l. I haven't sent it to her yet.
10. I lose at music! I really really lose. I never know what's going on. Unless [livejournal.com profile] stoney321 put it on a Connor mix.

eta: 11. And yesterday, as I was shocked to discover, I don't even own a Sound of Music soundtrack. Huh?
