Here’s my pick for Reverse Flash, ‘Going back in time’ :slightly_smiling_face:


For Killer Frost, the famous ‘Let it go’ I think that fits her perfectly.

And finally for Doctor Hugo Strange, ‘Stranger Things’ from Toy Story!

@Pow-Pow - Delightful range of songs! And a great idea to do your reveals via spoiler blur. We’ll have to do that instead when starting tomorrow’s new thread. :slight_smile: “Shadow of the Beast” and “Goodnight Moon” do a really good job setting up an otherworldly tone that really leaves you feeling like your feet aren’t on the ground
 and each for their own different reason, too, so it’s interesting to see how each one sets that up differently.

“Psycho Killer” has been stuck in my head for the past few days (ahem, here’s looking at you, “Hunters” trailer >,< lol), so that just started up again for the rest of the day
 :stuck_out_tongue: But it makes for an interesting palate cleanser separating the love-based songs mentioned last, so it all makes for a fantastic combo! Love your choices this week - they each show how much time you spent considering ones well-suited for your choices!

@AnonymousHQ - No problems there, it’s good to know the song has another vote! It certainly deserves it. :slight_smile:

@Aylex - That one’s so superb, I want to apply it to the entire team. I say want to, because honestly, just because they’re maniacs doesn’t have to mean they’re crazy, does it? (But as I was told in a previous thread, if one has to ask, then one probably already knows the answer
 :thinking: :stuck_out_tongue:). That song’ll always be a fav of mine, regardless of what it might mean for my sanity, though, so I thank you for sharing it! :slight_smile:

@Razzzcat - Ooh, that’s a really good one. Another lovely choice I’d not heard before, and yet feel like I already have (I’m not the only one who gets wonderful “Crazy On You” vibes from it, am I?). I was curious who it applied to until I saw your newest post, and found I was completely off with my guess. :stuck_out_tongue: Similarly, “Listen Up!” being for Ivy’s intriguing, and I wouldn’t have come to that conclusion there, either. But, I like how high tempo your songs are - did you choose them from the perspective of their being upbeat, or were their lyrics the reason why?

@LDFM - You know, despite that song’s opening focusing on being psychotic and the character that’d obviously stand out as applying to, the first thing that came to mind for a character was The Joker because of the card pictured. Then, after hearing it, I still thought it could, which made me laugh. Was I right in the first guess? This one feels like another good one for the group on a whole, almost like their own twisted version of a pep rally anthem, so it’s a fantastic choice, no matter which one you’ve chosen. The title of it is my favorite part, too
 it makes you click play expecting something 100% different than what you get. :stuck_out_tongue:

@Reaganfan78 - Wow! Talk about a great rundown of explanations - thank you for adding those for us! :smiley: Please, though, no need to apologize! Each week’s devoted to your favorite characters, be it just the ones you like, or the ones you feel will win for the week, so if you end up focusing on one per week, that’s fine! There’s no requirement to find songs for all of them, either, so no pressure. :slight_smile:

That aside, who knew Mary Poppins and Toy Story could come in handy so often this week? :wink: With Mary, the fact that she’s such a good option despite this being a group of people called maniacs makes me giggle, but adding something as happy go lucky as Toy Story makes it even better! But I’ve grown to really like Kite Man, so I like the choice, and agree with you. Psycho’s a perfect choice, as is the James Bond music, actually (yes! I hadn’t even thought about that, but I love the combo ^_^).

I was new to Clayface and Mr. Nobody, so learning more about them was a lot of fun this week, and I like the choices of Patsy Cline and Hank Williams for them. Those songs really hit their targets with emotional depth on their own, but considering those character backgrounds, too, they’re really good matches! The way you managed to fold in Back to the Future and Frozen was pretty masterful with the team we’re talking about, so I think they’d get as much kick out of the choices as I did! :heart_eyes:

@anon52107441 - No need to apologize, either, it’s okay! :wink: Ah, and welcome to the DST boat, indeed. They like to pretend the body doesn’t know it’s losing an hour
 but it knows. It always knows
 :unamused:

Oh, I have a few playlists like that, too, but being the sucker for emo music that I am, they end up being positive for me
 even when the lyrics could be considered negative (often ends up being more about the overall sound vs the lyrics). Was just listening to “Face Down” a little while ago, actually, and I agree, it’s really appropriate for Harley. I listened through your initial playlist, and some of them were expected (such as Moonlight Sonata), while others really anchored things down for me, standing out as great picks for certain characters even without your having to choose them.

“Breakdown,” for instance, made me think HQ, too, with “Dance with the Devil” making me think Anton, “Headstrong” matching with Dr. Psycho for me, etc. The songs I couldn’t match added their own special flavor to the emotional range touched on by other songs offered by members this week, too, coming at the them from points of heartbreak, positions of insanity, and the like. It’s really well done as a standalone playlist, too! :smiley:

@capo-mage - Ah, a notable point about HQ made, yes! :slight_smile: It had the gears in my head going before, for sure, and doubly so with your explanation. The add of “Clint Eastwood” for HQ is worth thinking over, too. Went and gave it another listen after watching the show yesterday, and I can see that. Your songs make me think of what I’ve seen and read about “Harleen” on here, and how it delves into her character on such an emotional level, as well. :thinking:

@CrazyQuilt - Wow, that song is another one I’m hearing for the first time, and it’s quite unexpected. It’s a little bit jarring, I think, because of how heavy the lyrics are versus how the song sounds, and it ended up hitting me in the same, “boy, do I love that
 :hushed:” way, that The Offspring’s, “Self-Esteem” and the Pixies’ “Where is my Mind?” do, which always leaves me with a little internal conflict because of the subject matter touched on by the lyrics. Do you ever get that feeling? It’s a great choice for The Joker, though, I agree! :slight_smile:

Also, to reveal my own, “Coming Undone” was for Mr. Nobody, while “Forget Me Forgotten” was for Antone Arcane. I was pretty intrigued by their match up, so I thought I’d focus on both of them. :slight_smile:

Thanks @MissInkBlot. I went heavy on my pick. Tried to think of songs that applied. I usually make my decisions within seconds of seeing who it’s about.

@MissInkBlot I actually didn’t have any specific person in mind when I posted. I guess thinking afterwards Dr Psycho stood out for obvious reasons, but like you figured, it can really fit for anybody in this bracket, so I just went with “team anthem”.

Ooh now I wanna know who you thought “Spellbound” was for? Anton?? It could work for him too. Tho for HIM I was thinking of a more “Dead Souls”-Joy Division vibe.

And “Clint Eastwood” would be good for HQ—So would “50ft Queenie” by PJ Harvey, (on 2nd thought maybe I’ll give this one to Psycho!! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:)

For some reason “Spellbound” always makes me think of Harley. I don’t get Heart vibes from the song tho. Siouxsie and Ann Wilson do have a similar voice but very diff vocal phrasing.

As for “Listen Up”, It’s got swag, fury and a touch of melancholy, just like my girl Ivy. So yes both lyrics and tempo. For both.
