I posted this once before but since it came up on my playlist and I thought what I always think about it, I decided to share it again, yahoo.
After I watched School Days, this song so came into my head. I've never made an AMV, though, so I never got around to actually using the song, but someone else totally should.
Anyway, if you've seen School Days, you will see how Joe = Makoto. Or if you've seen some other stuff like White Album or anything else with cheating scumbags.
Go Kristin. Abuse his dead body. ~ And she's hot here, too. =o Of course I can't technically put her under a yandere since I don't know what she acted like beforehand, but she's pretty crazy there over love, so yahoo. Even though, to be honest, I don't usually think of yanderes as the kind of person that hurts their loves, so maybe she's a Yangire. She's supposed to be one of the next Disney Princesses voices, too. I've loved her for quite some time, I saw her on Broadway a few years ago for my birthday. <3
So you can see how amazingly talented and funny she is. In this song, Kristin is a rich woman, and even with her tiny voice she can still sing super opera and be totally awesome. There are other versions of this on YouTube, but this is my favorite - some are from the same show as the If video.
Yes, she is actually singing, "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" She's laughing. She's so crazy, I love this song. It's from Candide.
Someone more serious read my description and I liked theirs more, as they were much more serious about the actual show, whereas I was just ranting about Kristin, but for informational purposes and from my comments -
She is a young woman, forced by the horrors of war to stay alive by accepting the attentions of men, rich men, who buy her the jewels she sings about. She is shamed, yet pleased, hence the delight of the song.
Lyrics help.
Glitter and be gay, That's the part I play; Here I am in Paris, France, Forced to bend my soul To a sordid role, Victimized by bitter, bitter circumstance. Alas for me! Had I remained Beside my lady mother, My virtue had remained unstained Until my maiden hand was gained By some Grand Duke or other.
Ah, 'twas not to be; Harsh necessity Brought me to this gilded cage. Born to higher things, Here I droop my wings, Ah! Singing of a sorrow nothing can assuage.
And yet of course I rather like to revel, Ha ha! I have no strong objection to champagne, Ha ha! My wardrobe is expensive as the devil, Ha ha! Perhaps it is ignoble to complain... Enough, enough Of being basely tearful! I'll show my noble stuff By being bright and cheerful! Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha!
Pearls and ruby rings... Ah, how can worldly things Take the place of honor lost? Can they compensate For my fallen state, Purchased as they were at such an awful cost?
Bracelets...lavalieres Can they dry my tears? Can they blind my eyes to shame? Can the brightest brooch Shield me from reproach? Can the purest diamond purify my name?
And yet of course these trinkets are endearing, Ha ha! I'm oh, so glad my sapphire is a star, Ha ha! I rather like a twenty-carat earring, Ha ha! If I'm not pure, at least my jewels are!
Enough! Enough! I'll take their diamond necklace And show my noble stuff By being gay and reckless! Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha!
Observe how bravely I conceal The dreadful, dreadful shame I feel. Ha ha ha ha!
I love this video and I was talking about Kristin, so sharing time. Woo. When I get around to making my School Days video, this is the song I will be using. =p
There he goes as usual, my man Breaking my foolish heart. I really don’t know what to do about him I’ve told my self I’ve got to do without him
There he goes as usual, my man. Tearing my heart apart. He’s made my life a mess I’ve got to do this I guess Goodbye, Joe, from here I kiss you Goodbye, Joe, I hope I don’t miss you
[Pistol sound]
If you had been on the square And had treated me fair And we’d not had a tiff If you had not said I should go and jump right off The nearest cliff If you had stayed off the make And you never had taken To coming home stiff If I hand not smelled perfume With a nasty unfamiliar whiff
I’M GONNA MISS YOU BABY! THINGS COULD’VE BEEN TERIFF! Ah, what’s the diff…
If you had not had the cheek To stay out for a week Saying ’back in a jiff If you were not such a two-timing guy
If you weren't If you hadn't If you didn't And you weren't And you hadn't And you didn’t But you have And you were And you went And you did And so goodbye!
If I had not seen you Take Geraldine on the lake In your flat-bottomed skiff If you were not out with Sue With your arms around her bare midriff If I had not seen you pen sexy letters To Gwen in your own Hieroglyph If you had not left me home When had two seats for South Pacif I’M GONNA MISS YOU, BABY YOU WERE TOO DARN PROLIF Ah, what's the diff
If you were not such a hound who When game was around Always picked at the sniff If you were not such a two-timing guy
If you weren't If you hadn't If you didn’t And you weren’t And you hadn’t And you didn’t But you were And you have And you went And you did AND SO, GOODBYE
If when I asked where you’d been You had not cliffed my chin With a beautiful biff Hey If I had not always found purple Lipstick on your handkerchief If you had not told me lies And then looked in my eyes With a smile beautif If when I caught you with Kate You had not said, “It’s of no signif!”
I’M GONNA MISS YOU, BABY AND I COULD GET SPECIF! Ah, what’s the diff!
If The best years of my life Weren’t spent as your wife With no marriage certif If you were not such a two-timing guy
If you weren't If you hadn't If you didn't If you weren't If you hadn’t If you didn’t But you had
And then we coulda And you didn't Though you shoulda
If you didn't If you weren't If you hadn't If you didn't But you were And you have And you went And you did And so Good bye See ya later, Jo
