So there've been mentions of Avenue Q on my flist and I had NO idea what it was but one bored day on Limewire and I found music. :| Since I uploaded all these for
miss_charmed, I figured I'd upload them for you.
I swear, it doesn't really even matter if you don't get the story, sort of. LOL. I just love musical music. :P
(For the curious, Avenue Q's made up of muppet-type characters. The musical's mostly a parody of Sesame Street, or something. I'm sure some of you would be more familiar with this than I am, lol.

- What Do You Do With a BA in English / It Sucks to Be Me
Track 2/3 of the CD, in which our characters compare the relative misery of their lives with each other.
I come into this country
For opportunities
Try to work in Korean delis
But I am Japanese! - If You Were Gay
What I can only imagine to be the equivalent of Bert talks about how it's perfectly fine if his roommate, Ernie-equivalent (Ernie's the yellow kid, right? :| I always mix them up), were gay.
If you were queer
I'd still be here
Year after year
Because you're dear to me
And I know that you
Would accept me too
If I told you today
"Hey guess what! I'm gay!"
(But I'm not gay) - Everyone's a Little Bit Racist
Actually pretty smart. Everyone IS a little bit racist. Cool song.
Everyone's a little bit racist sometimes
Doesn't mean we go around committing hate crimes
Look around and you'll find
No one's really color blind
Maybe it's a fact we all should face
Everyone makes judgments... based on race - The Internet is for Porn
Haha, it's just silly. And true. :P
The internet is really really great
..For Porn!
I've got a fast connection so I don't have to wait
..For Porn! - Fantasies Come True
Oh, I love this. It's so wistful and cute and then maybe also a little sad. Awwww.
But I never thought
The things in my head
Could really happen
In my bed - My Girlfriend (Who Lives in Canada)
Denial song if there ever was one, hah.
So soon I'll be off to Alberta--
I mean Vancouver!
Shit her name is Alberta
she lives in Vancouver
SHE'S MY GIRLFRIIIIEEEEND - There's a Fine, Fine Line
I read this line somewhere and I was pleasantly surprised to realise it came from this song.
There's a fine, fine line
Between love and a waste of time. - There Is Life Outside Your Apartment
I thought of myself when I read the title of this song, I kid you not. *headdesk*
There is cool shit to do
But it can't come to you
And who knows, dude, you might even score
There's a life outside your apartment
But you've got to open the door - The More You Ruv Someone
Love and hate defined, lol.
The more you ruv someone
The more you want to kirr them
The more you ruv someone
The more he make you cly
...
That's why you ruv so strong
You want to make him DIE - Schadenfreude
Schadenfreude's German for happiness at the misfortune of others, which is what this song is about. It's cool. :P
Don't you feel all warm and cozy
Watching people out in the rain?
That's Schadenfreude
People taking pleasure in your pain - I Wish I Could Go Back to College
Oh, college. This one's one of the first I heard, and consequently loved. Honestly, I'm still in college and already I don't think I want to leeeeeeeeaaaaave. Oops.
I wish I could just drop a class
Or get into a play
Or change my major
Or fuck my TA
I need an academic advisor to point my way - The Money Song
One of the vaguer songs, I keep not paying attention when this comes on.
All I’m asking you
Is to do what
Jesus Christ would do.
He’d give me a quarter,
Why don’t you? - For Now
Whatever it is, everything's temporary, and only for now. :D
Everyone's a little bit unsatisfied.
Everyone goes 'round a little empty inside.
Take a breath
Look around
Swallow your pride
For now...
For now...
