Can you name a few songs about comic cons? Me neither. That would be great though, wouldn't it? No worries! Today we're making our own comic con play list. Because... what if.. what if these songs WERE about comic con? Sometimes we just have to change a few words....
Self Control - Bebe Rexha
How hard i it, to NOT buy anything at comic con? To just walk around and get no photo ops. Or no autographs. Well, once we're at comic con, we lose all self control! In many ways haha. In spending money: When we're very happy to see our favorite actors, suddenly these prices for photo ops seem peanuts. And also: You all know our tagline Ëxcited is an understatement". At comic con, we lose all self control and were dancing, singing, acting crazy. So... let's have a look at the song Self Control, of Bebe Rexha! The actual song goes like this:
One little kiss, can turn into a thousand
One little touch and I'm gone
Got no self control
And I don't mean cigarettes and alcohol
Cause when it comes to you I can't say no
I don't wanna taste, I want it all
I'm so predictable
Fall every time, ain't it pitiful
And it's not enough
I tried to quit
But I'm giving up
Well, this song could easily be about comic con right? Let's just change some really small details:
One little hug, can turn into a thousand
One little pic and I'm gone
Got no self control
And I don't mean cigarettes and alcohol
Cause when it comes to comic con I can't say no
I don't wanna save, I want it all
I'm so predictable
Fall every time, ain't it pitiful
And it's not enough
I tried to quit
But I'm giving up
Happy - Julia Michaels
Next subject! We all know the thing we fear the most: The after comic con dip! It's terrible. It really is.
That's were Julia Michaels come in. We're she sings about relationships, we're actually thinking of comic con! Let's have a look at the original lyrics:
I'm sending out texts at 4 a.m.
I'm not desperate, I just want somebody's skin
In my denim 'cause it helps me feel something
And sometimes I think I kill relationships for art
I start up all this shit to watch 'em fall apart
I pay my bills with it, I watch 'em fall apart
Then pay the price for it, I watch 'em fall apart, but
I just want to be fucking happy
Now... we don't talk about relationships! We just want to get back to comic con. Soon!!
I'm sending out texts at 4 a.m.
I'm not desperate, I just want back to comic con
In the train 'cause it helps me feel something
And sometimes I think I leave comic con for art
I start up all this shit and then fall apart
I ignore my bills for it, and then fall apart
Then pay the price for it, 'cause I fall apart, but
I just want to be at fucking comic con
You need to calm down - Tayor Swift
Next subject! Throw away the after comic con dip! Now, a song that perfectly fits one of our comic con frustrations: People that are talking loudly during panels. often, people want to make sure to have a goo seat at the panel of their favorite actor. So they decide to go and sit there early: During another panel. And then they decide it's the pérfect moment to discuss their whole week with their friends... Well, if you do that, we''ll be full on Taylor Swift. Keep quiet during panels! YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN. Original text:
I ain't tryna mess with your self-expression
But I've learned a lesson that stressin' and obsessin' 'bout somebody else is no fun
And snakes and stones never broke my bones
You need to calm down, you're being too loud
And I'm just like
You need to just stop
Like can you just not
step on my gown?
You need to calm down
You are somebody that we don't know
But you're comin' at my friends like a missile
Why are you mad?
When you could be glad (You could be glad)
Our thoughts:
I ain't tryna mess with your self-expression
But I've learned a lesson that stressin' and obsessin' in somebody else's panel is no fun
And snakes and stones never broke a panel
You need to calm down, you're being too loud
And I'm just like
You need to just stop
Like can you just not
step on my gown?
You need to calm down
You are somebody that we don't know
But you're comin' at this panel like a missile
Why are you loud?
When you could be quiet (You could be quiet)
