-When Christian performs a song from a hit Broadway show.

 

"Ladies' Choice" from Hairspray

 

I knew a kid who tried to be Link in a dinner theater production of Hairspray. I'm going to admit that I pretty much avoided the musical because I didn't think it was going to be nearly as good as the '88 original. Then I saw the movie version and it wasn't half-bad, which means the actual musical must have been something. Which you can see this Wednesday on NBC as the 4th annual Live Musical event!

 

-The party continues. Christian gets complimented by Daniel, who then drops the guy as soon as John saunters up. Leaving Christian alone for Will to move in.

-When Will and Preston get into a betting mood.

 

"Theme From The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly"

 

-When Will rides the horse.

 

"Theme From the Magnificent Seven"

 

I have a distinct memory of my 2nd grade class doing a twirling baton ribbon dance to this song at a high school football game. 1994, I think? Thank god my family is poor and didn't have a camcorder back then. LOL.

[Mark Arbour]

Good choices!

[methodwriter85]

Good choices!

 

"Chicks Dig It" seems like a Preston anthem.

[methodwriter85]

Chapter 43

 

-Buzz's funeral.

 

"When I'm Gone" by 3 Doors Down

 

I really associate this song with the War on Terror/The Iraq War, probably because of the video being very military and this song hitting it when the wars were heating up.

 

"I Hope You Dance" by LeeAnn Womack

 

-When Will and Dally passionately kiss.

 

"I've Been Waiting for A Girl Like You" by Foreigner

Mark basically did my job for me this chapter. Cool.

"Crimson and Clover" by Tommy James and the Shondells

 

-When JJ gets an unpleasant morning surprise.

"Angel of the Morning" by Juice Newton

I love that Deadpool revived this song.

 

 

 

[Mark Arbour]

I would never have thought of Crimson and Clover for that scene, but it's perfect.  Nicely done!

[methodwriter85]

I was originally going to use "Your Body Is A Wonderland" by John Mayer yet again to evoke the fact that the song was EVERYWHERE back in 2002-2004 but I decided to go retro for that one. Honestly, I'm kind of tired with 2002-2003 music by now. LOL. Luckily I have decades of other music before then that i can work with.

Chapter 46

 

-When Brad describes how he likes a challenging lover to Jake.

 

"Hurt So Good" by John Mellencamp

 

-When the surgeon describes the surgery that had to be done on Scott's face.

 

"Eyes Without A Face" by Billy Idol

 

I really got into this song because it was on Nip/Tuck. I loved the first two seasons of that show. (I would later learn that Ryan Murphy shows are usually only good for the first couple of seasons- he's lucky Popular only lasted two years.)

 

Stefan would so Tivo that show. (It premiered on July 23rd, apparently.)

-When Will and Zach end up in a threesome with an assistant coach.

 

"The Stroke" by Billy Squier

 

I'm on some early 80's kick right now for some reason. Eh. Whatever.

I've been doing similar things with my Brandon Smiling story and with Comsie's Billy Chase story.

 

There was a recent sex scene in that story that was just juicy. What's cool is I've been finding some unknown artists who come up with some of the best music for stuff like this.

 

This one is by Trevor Something who is a Retro Wave artist that calls back a lot of the early 80s vibe with a modern sensibility. This song is so uckfing hawwt!

Chapter 48

 

-When Operation "Stop JJ From Being A Bitch" starts.

"Blue Monday 88" by New Order

 

-When Darius flirts with Bellona for real.

"Does Your Mother Know?' from Mama Mia The Musical

 

-When JJ is left to ruminate by himself.

"All By Myself" by Jamie O'Neal from Bridget Jones's Diary soundtrack

This moment feels very Cher from Clueless.

 

-When Bellona goes "What the hell" and decides to sleep with Darius.
"Mrs. Robinson" by Simon and Garfunkel

[methodwriter85]

Chapter 49

 

-When Will gets it on with JJ's crush, Patrick.

"Shoop" by Salt-N-Pepa

 

-When Elizabeth Danfield imagines her future life as a saved sinner.

"You Light Up My Life" by Debby Boone

I learned about this song on I Love the 70's. When this was a big hit back in 1977, I wonder how many people knew it was actually a Christian gospel song about a love for God?

 

-When they somberly remember 9/11 for a moment.

"Mad World" by Gary Jules

 

-When JJ ruminates while listening to John Carullo's music.

"Everything You Want" by Vertical Horizon

[methodwriter85]

Chapter 50

 

-When Carullo shows JJ his version of New York City, far away from the socialite version of New York that JJ inhabits.
"Uptown Girl" by Billy Joel

 

I toyed with using the Westlife cover that's closer to the time period of the story, so you can go with that one if you'd like to. Billy Joel writes SO much about New York/New Jersey, though.

 

-When JJ and Carullo have lunch at the Italian restaurant, and JJ finally realizes that he's got a crush on Carullo.

 

"Oggum Boggum Song" by Brenton Wood

 

-When JJ and Carullo get it on.

 

"Let Go" by Frou Frou

Chapter 51

 

-When the guys sing "Stacey's Mom" by Fountains of Wayne.

Yeah, so I went with a theme. Their 1970's classic rock phase and their 1980's sell out rock phase are both pretty awesome, honestly.

I would not have expected a Heart-themed selection, but I like it.
