My GF has a good idea for a vid, we need a song

[Garylisk]

OK in many anime shows, there are typical guy type characters. We are talking about the guys who have the short kinda spiky hairstyle. Tenchi, Kazuki, Guts, etc... There's tons of them.

So, we need people to name of as many ordinary looking japaneses guys who are heroes like that as they can. (Or villains, or supporting characters.. whatever) AND we also need a song.

We thought about Joe Walsh's "Ordinary Average Guys", but I don't think the song fits. Jenny thinks she could make ti fit, but I dunno if its possible.

So if you could help out, it'd be appreciated
Names/shows and songs heh

[bloodyfang]

i'm not sure if this matches the idea but this is the only thing that comes to mind at the moment

Reel Big Fish - Brand New Hero

hope that song is helpful ^_^



probably not though =/ give me a hour or two =P

[Legend Killer]

How about the Wallflowers cover of the Bowie song "Heros" from the Godzilla soundtrack?

Its got some good lyrics:

We could be heroes.....just for one day....

[bloodyfang]

ok here goes nothing.

SOngs that kinda fit... kinda

Goldfinger - Superman

311 - You wouldn't Believe

DAft Punk - HArder, better, faster, stronger.... (i have no idea why i am thinking this but i am)



on an off note... Sublime - Loser

thats all i have for now... i kept wanting to suggest songs for a romantic parody type vid for some reason...maybe it was you refering to the fact it was your GF's idea =/

The Night Santa Went Crazy

Down in the workshop all the elves were makin' toys
For the good Gentile girls and the good Gentile boys
When the boss busted in, nearly scared 'em half to death
Had a rifle in his hands and cheap whiskey on his breath
From his beard to his boots he was covered with ammo
Like a big fat drunk disgruntled Yuletide Rambo
And he smiled as he said with a twinkle in his eye
"Merry Christmas to all - now you're all gonna die!"

The night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nick went insane
Realized he'd been gettin' a raw deal
Something finally must have snapped in his brain

Well, the workshop is gone now, he decided to bomb it
Everywhere you'll find pieces of Cupid and Comet
And he tied up his helpers and he held the elves hostage
And he ground up poor Rudolph into reindeer sausage
He got Dancer and Prancer with an old German Luger
And he slashed up Dasher just like Freddy Krueger
And he picked up a flamethrower and he barbequed Blitzen
And he took a big bite and said "It tastes just like chicken!"

The night Santa went crazy
The night Kris Kringle went nuts
Now you can't hardly walk around the North Pole
Without steppin' in reindeer guts

There's the National Guard and the F.B.I.
There's a van from the Eyewitness News
And helicopters circlin' 'round in the sky
And the bullets are flyin', the body count's risin'
And everyone's dyin' to know, oh Santa, why
My my my my my my
You used to be such a jolly guy

Yes, Virginia, now Santa Claus is dead
Some guy from the SWAT team blew a hole through his head
Yes, little friend, now that's his brains on the floor
Guess you won't have the fat guy to kick around anymore
Well now there's no more presents for the children's enjoyment
And the elves gotta stand in line to file for unemployment
And they say Mrs. Claus, she's on the phone every night
With her lawyer negotiating the movie rights

They're talkin' bout the night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nicholas flipped
Broke his back for some milk and cookies
Sounds to me like he was tired of gettin' gypped

Woah, the night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nick went insane
Realized he's gettin' a raw deal
Something finally must have snapped in his brain
Woah, something finally must have snapped in his brain
Tell ya, something finally must have snapped in his brain

try some Weird Al....maybe not, just an idea. Do something original.

Perhaps for your set of fellas, Ministry, Psalm 69 - Hero would be appropriate. The song has lots of great hard noise, shouting, and a few reflective pauses. Mind you, this would only work if you were looking to pitch them as bad asses. If you want something more mellow, but that goes along with the short hair, maybe the Village people's Navy song . . uh well, thats weird . . hmm maybe Clapton and the "walkin' Blues", since often these guys get introspective . . or collective soul "goodnight good guy" on hints allegations and things left unsaid.

[Garylisk]

All good suggestions. THanks much.

Any more ideas on actual characters with the short black hair/typical guy kind of look? hmmm?

[Legend Killer]

What about Kajii from Evangelion if you are talking normals?


Or Yu from Spriggan?

[temaranight]

Umm..Wolfwood?

[Satori]

Sanosuke from Kenshin
