The Process Forum Soundtrack

[Very_Good_Karma]

{EDIT} This post is pretty old now, so I just want to make it clear that I intend to continue collecting process-themed music and making it available in this thread. {/EDIT}


So, I've recently gotten decently good at finding mp3s online, and during my browser-crashing download binge I came across a few old favorites of mine that seem to have suggestive themes. It got me thinking, and I wondered if we could put together a soundtrack for The Process Forum. I've gotten six songs together that I think make a good start, and uploaded them to divshare.

So, here we go:

Obviously, no song comes to mind as more appropriate than David Bowie's "Changes", but it's particularly suited for AP fans.

Secondly, the preponderance of Nipponese media here suggests "Turning Japanese", by The Vapors.

After that I've got three songs for the TG crowd- which I'm in, thank you. "Androgyny", and "Cherry Lips" by the esteemed Garbage and their genderbent frontwoman Shirley Manson; and "Kate", a charmingly innocent switch wish by the Ben Folds Five.

Finally, there's Linkin Park's "Crawling", which I have always felt evoked a classic horror movie TF scene.

Does anybody else have any ideas? Files would help too, of course.

P.S. - Oh, and I know somebody is going to suggest Aerosmith's "Dude Looks Like A Lady", and I did think of it, but I decided against it after downloading it and listening to it carefully- it's pretty much explicitly about a transvestite, and what I like about all these other songs is that they are ambiguous enough that they could in fact be talking about actual transformation.

lol never thought of the idea of the forum having its own sound track XD.... * goes and sets up a playlist*

[Sutibaru]

Roky Erickson's "Cold Night for Alligators" is about people who become alligators at nightfall (I think).

And "Planet Of The Wolves" by Guitar Wolf has a lot of ambiance, drums, and wolf howling.

[kooh]

Nice to see someone mentioning Garbage for a change.

I'm sorry, but there is only one song that fits for this forum, and everything in it.



"Super freak"

Second.

[resiz3d]

"She's Actual Size" by They Might Be Giants.

Oh, Damn that's a good idea, Kricket. I'm gonna go look for an mp3 of that...

I've been debating whether Shania Twain's "Man! I Feel like a Woman!" fits. There's no overt reference to change, but the song's infectiousness often has the comedic effect of tempting men to sing totally gender-inapproporiate lyrics.

Eh.. "I must increase my bust" by Lords of Acid....? Dunno where your gonna find it short of buying an entire CD for the mystery tracks.. Hmm I wonder what area it might hold for.. hmm.... ... Nya~haha... XD

[Jumba]

Dudes Looks Like A Lady - Aerosmith (TG)

I'll look up more later but my entire musical archive is on the hard drive inside a small box filled with foam right now

[mecham]

Isn't there a good Weird Al song for this soundtrack?

"I think I'm a clone now"
"The Truck Song"
"You're Pitiful"

Sorry. just throwing suggestions. Think everyone would just turn back to normal with the "Song of Healing" from LoZMM? (Thinks about it...) YAY! Free masks!
