Did you ever read the book and think "WOW, this song should totally be playing?" Well, now I create this sub-forum, for your ideas and suggestions. Give the song, the artist, and if you may give the scene. Comments are welcome. ENJOY!!

I have the absolutely perfect-est song ever for Specials, more specifically the part where Tally is in the hospital-type-place, and they're going to try to make her normal... well, normal-er. The song is "Monster Hospital" by Metric.

Here are the lyrics for the song:

"Monster hospital, can you please release me?
You hold my hands down, I've been bad.
You hold my arms down, I've been bad.
I've been bad, I've been bad.

I fought the war but the war won

Monster movie, Daddy Warbucks up against Bobby Fuller
And he beat him hands down
Lead in the head
Put a little lead in his head.

I fought the war but the war won't stop for the love of god.
I fought the war but the war won"

Perfect, right? Especially the "I fought the war but the war won" thing. It's like the song was written for it! Plus, it's a great song. I love Metric! biggrin

WOW!! The lyrics are sooooo identical!! That's amazing! Thanks for posting!! The other song, that I found that sort of went with the series, (yes the whole thing!) is "Freckles" by Natasha Bedingfield.

Enjoy the complimentry lyrics:
"Freckles" by Natasha Bedingfield
I used to care so much about what others think about
Almost didn't have a thought of my own
The slightest remark would make me embark
On the journey of self doubt
But that was a while ago
This girl has got stronger
If I knew then what I know now
I would have told myself don't worry any longer it's OK

[Chorus:]
'cause a face without freckles is like a sky without stars
Why waste a second not loving who you are
Those little imperfections make you beautiful, lovable, valuable,
They show your personality inside your heart
Reflecting who you are

Who you are
Who you are
Who you are

I wondered if I could trade my body with somebody else in magazines
Would the whole world fall at my feet?
I felt unworthy and would blame my failures on the ugliness I could see
When the mirror looked at me
Sometimes I feel like the little girl who doesn't belong in her own world
But I'm getting better
And I'm reminding myself

[Chorus]

Reflecting who you are
Reflecting who you are
Hmmm
Whoooooo whoa hmmmm oooooo

[Chorus]


Now to find a song for TallyXDavid or TallyXZane. I still have no idea what side I"m on...>.< But if anyone can find one, like the great Alice Scrambled did, I'd really appreciate it!!^^
