reddwarfslashI can't hear this song without thinking of Kryten/Lister anymore. And I've been hearing it everywhere.
Has Red Dwarfruined made any songs infinitely better for you? I refuse to believe that I'm alone here.

Haha... Perfect! Great song too... will have to look into the band later.

Date: 2010-07-18 08:11 pm (UTC)OK - just for the record? I think "Bad Romance" has ruined everybody's fandom, in all fandoms, or vice versa. Where CAN'T that damn song be used? *G* (Despite this I like the song for itself.)
My thing is, I have a lot of songs I like, some for a long time, and I've used some of these across several fandoms. So I can't say Red Dwarf has appropriated any particular song for me. On the other hand, I have SO MANY songs I could throw at you that I associate with the characters. I'll just pick one that I think works well with SMAC and Blue, Miles Away (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhcSyLTTlQI) by Madonna. Seems to sum up the Lister/ArnAce bromance well.

Oh yes, THIS. I have been waiting for a single decent fic bunny of mine to emerge from this song, but THERE'S JUST TOO MANY POSSIBILITIES...

Date: 2010-07-18 09:41 pm (UTC)I know exactly what you mean. I think I've lost count of the times when I've thought, "Yeah.. Bad Romance totally applies to fandom XYZ! I should write fic!" And then my brain gets stuck on the image of the characters trying to do the dance.
I do the same thing with songs. I've got a few that seem to turn up on every fanmix I put together. Because apparently, The Pet Shop Boys speak for everyone. :P
Awww.... Miles Away is very SMAC/Blue. :)

Date: 2010-07-19 06:41 am (UTC)Rimmer: *smacking his hands away* Go smoke your own, you twonk!
Lister: They're cloves! You've got Marlboros, man.
Rimmer: Don't talk to me all day and I'll give you ONE.
Lister: *checking his watch* Well, gee, big man, it's almost 11 already - you sure I'm not going to just get THREE-QUARTERS of one??
