🎶 Mixtape Monday: Applejack 🎶

[Green.Lantern]

It's Monday once again, which means one thing-Garfield is unhappy. Also, Mixtape Monday is back. Last week, we took a bite at putting together a playlist that King Shark would love to devour:

King Shark Week Playlist

• “Hungry Sharks Eat Teen Surfers”, by Moms I’d Like to Surf
• “Tiger Shark”, by Hawaiian Islanders
• “Fast as a Shark”, by Accept
• “Seek & Destroy”, by Metallica
• “C’mon and Swim, Pt. 1”, by Bobby Freeman
• “C’mon and Swim, Pt. 2”, by Bobby Freeman
• “Theme from Jaws”, by John Williams
• “Shark Week”, by Silent Planet
• “My Own Summer”, by Deftones
• “Rock the Boat”, by The Hues Corporation
• “Fins”, by Jimmy Buffett
• “The Choral Sea”, by Split Enz
• “Shark Attack”, by The Wailing Souls
• “Sharks Patrol These Waters”, by Morphine
• “Heartbreak Hotel”, by Elvis Presley
• “The Thing That Should Not Be”, by Metallica
• “Baby Shark”
• “Mr. Jaws”, by Dickie Goodman

For this week’s playlist, rather than focusing on a fictional hero or villain, we’re honoring a real superhero (literally, it was her clearance level and everything)-Applejack! By now, she’s no doubt settling in comfortably with the rest of the great minds of our generation on an island in the Pacific, working to bring about world peace by creating a giant squid monster. She’ll no doubt need a playlist to listen to while she does that, so let’s put one together!

I’ll start things off with a song featured in one of my all-time favorite movies:

We'll Meet Again — "Dr. Strangelove"

Due to the high volume of submissions and the limited number of hours in a day, we’ll be selecting two songs from each member, but feel free to share as many as you like!

[Razzzcat]

Greetings MTM! Just gonna drop these here…

Monk's Dream (Take 8)

Fun Boy Three - It Ain't What You Do It's The Way That You Do It (Official Music Video)

Hold up. I can’t NOT add Siouxsie

[arkhamassassin]

And apologies to any Wicked fans, but I honestly think this version is better than the original even though I’ve never seen Glee. Sorry

[HubCityQuestion]

The real folks know.

The Real Folk Blues

[DickGrayson_TheBoyFriendWonder]

I was just about to post the original

Edit: Also

Apple Jacks Commercial Not For Bullies

[ejdias.95910]

That was great @Reaganfan78. After watching it I found this too…

A Batgirl Music Video

Back with more soon…

[Vroom]

How about some Star Trek music? @Applejack digs Trek, afterall.

AJ, IDK what your fav Trek stuff is offhand, so I’m just going to post an assorted mix of stuff at random that would be rad to listen to while vacationing on Risa:

The opening title music of Star Trek III is a favorite of mine. Horner’s score for III completely outdoes his work on The Wrath of Khan (which is also magnificent).

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Main Title

Star Trek TNG Music - [All Good Things...] Courage

DS9 Music - Fleet Battle [Sacrifice of Angels]

Star Trek Generations Overture

The Nexus / A Christmas Hug

The opening theme to Voyager. If there’s a piece of Star Trek music that best embodies you @Applejack, I feel it’s this theme.

Star Trek Voyager - Main Title theme (HQ)

Non-Trek tuneage…

Heavy Metal • Theme Song • Sammy Hagar

Rock & Rule Soundtrack 02 Angel's Song

Larn and Teegra

Super music for a super girl…Jerry Goldsmith’s Supergirl theme.

Jerry Goldsmith - Supergirl Main Theme

The Bangles - Hazy Shade of Winter (Official Video)

Belinda Carlisle - Heaven Is A Place On Earth (Official Music Video)

From the final scene of one of the greatest movies of all time. Apropos for one journey ending while another begins.

So Was Red

Batman Forever • Kiss From a Rose • Seal

IDK if you dig Gundam AJ, but this is an all-time fav of mine.

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing - Opening 1 | Just Communication

Thanks to @CynicalPink for the head’s up on this…

Gundam W｜JUST COMMUNICATION [Studio aLf]

Gundam Wing opening V2

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing - Opening 2 | Rhythm Emotion V2 w/ Beeps

Finally, from the Anime of Animes…

A Special Performance of Cowboy Bebop's "The Real Folk Blues" feat. Yoko Kanno, Steve Blum, and More

Not music, but a little Kevin Smith is always welcome.

[Green.Lantern]

I am shocked that you’re discussing Star Trek music and left out Riker!

anonymous

[Vroom]

That is surprising, especially since I (kind of) look like him (when I have a beard, that is). You’d think I would have channeled my spirit TNG character…

Right now, I look like season 1 Riker, but with glasses.

[Reaganfan78]

To think I almost ran into you back in 2006,
Oh wait that was the real Riker, nevermind!

[Vroom]

I practiced my Riker voice as a kid with the Galoob and Playmates Riker figures to an exacting degree, so…who knows (besides The Shadow)? Maybe you did run into me.

[Reaganfan78]

Nah it was a real Riker, on August 18 2006 Hilton hotel, I left a big convention room, while thinking what to do next, this lady went (rudly) right in front of me holding both of her arm up to stop me, before I said anything, I see Jonathan Franke walk by as he was talking to the reporter with a huge mohawk, my jaws must have drop, I just stood frozen as he walk by, the lady was a bodyguard, she glare at me and walk away!

[patterson65.37405]

In honor of @Applejack’s love of all things feline, here’s an appropriate song:

Al Stewart - Year of the Cat (Official Audio) - YouTube

As a chaser, I think she’d probably get a kick out of this little SNL skit:

whiskers r we - YouTube

[Vroom]

Was the guy with the mohawk the jerk with the loud radio from Star Trek IV (actor/producer Kirk Thatcher)? “Would you mind turning off that damn noise?”

Sounds like that woman was a Cardassian in disguise. Cardassians get snooty like that, from time to time. Always remember, there are four lights.

I met Frakes and Marina Sirtis in the mid-'90s at a Trek con. Cool pair.

You Will Be Remembered - Alter Bridge Lyrics

I wrote these words to tell you all the things I should’ve said so long ago
So long ago
Know that I am grateful I will not forget or let your memory go
No, I won’t
I waited way too long, way too long

I know this life’s a mystery, we lose the things we never can replace
No
So many things we keep inside are never said until it’s much too late
Oh, so I’m giving you this song

For the ones who sacrifice it all, we will sing
Who took a stand so we would never fall, we will sing
You will always be a hero, we will sing so you will be remembered
You will be remembered

I know you’ve suffered way too much, I know you gave your all for us to be
Oh, I see
I know how much you’ve sacrificed and all of this you did so selflessly
Oh, so I’m giving you this song
I’m giving you this song

For the ones who sacrifice it all, we will sing
Who took a stand so we would never fall, we will sing
You will always be a hero, we will sing

You’ll be remembered, you’re still alive
Your memory will survive
And in the end, all your sacrifice
It made a difference this time

So I’m giving you this song
And I’m giving you this song

For the ones who sacrificed it all, we will sing
Who took a stand so we would never fall, we will sing
You will always be a hero, we will sing
So you will be remembered

So you will be remembered

Well hello there again G.L., Mixtape Mob, and everyone else.

Ah, a playlist for Applejack…

Well… Looks like there will be a lot of honorable mention tunes…

Before those though… Here is what I thought about.

I believe I’ve shared this song in another MTM… but I feel it’s relevant for this week as well:

“Time & Confusion”, by Anberlin

Time & Confusion

And there’s been several “classical” or theme songs shared, so here’s this one:
“Wind Guide You”, by Jeremy Soule (from Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim)
