APPROPRIATE SONGS FOR MY CHARACTERS

I‘ve been thinking of songs that “belong” to my characters. it is a good way of making them seem real. 

Eileen - It’s My Life by Billy Joel.  This is her anthem, mainly for its chorus.  ‘I didn’t ask you to give me a a second chance.’  I can picture Eileen singing this loudly in the Queen’s face.

Jenny - It’s My Life by Bon Jovi.  Similar defiant stance to her mother towards the Queen but her song has a harder edge.  She would want something different from Billy Joel (even if she secretly liked him). Could It Be Magic by Take That would also be a good choice.

Fairy Queen, Roxannadrell - Every Little Thing She Does is Magic by the Police, I will Survive by Gloria Gaynor, Queen of Hearts by the wonderful Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe’s Cruel to be Kind.  My Prerogative by Bobby Brown would also suit her.

Brankaresh - Behind the Mask by Eric Clapton.  The title just sums the treacherous wizard up.

Brenebourne’s wildlife - a difficult choice?  No!  I can think of two!  Is there a Monster coming over the hill?  by Automatic and the Kaiser Chief’s I Predict a Riot are ideas for them.

The Witch - I Want It All  by Queen.  Says it all really.

Whespy (Wes) - What A Fool Believes by the Doobey Brothers - apt for his relationship with Isabel.

Stanrock (Stan) - The Joker  by the Steve Miller Band.

Isabel - I Want That Man by Debbie Harry (though it ought to be I want that sprite).  It’s a pity there isn’t a song called something like I’m Posh and know I am but I still Like a Bit of Rough. It doesn’t trip off the tongue but it sums her up well.

Hanastrew - Abracadbra by the Steve Miller Band.  She does do a lot of practical magic.  Sisters are Doing it for Themselves given she leads the fairy squad and admires the forthright attitude of Eileen.

Melanbury - Love Is All Around - the Wet Wet Wet version, particularly true for Melanbury after discovering the joys of elf sex with L’Evallier.  Also J’Te Aime, heavy breathing and all. 

L’Evallier - I’m A Believer  by the Monkees - true after discovering the joys of elf sex with Melanbury.

Roherum - Love Me For A Reason by the Osmonds. Roherum would like a love life instead of being “loved” in a general sense as the Kingdom’s national berk.

Derek Paige - Who’s That Girl  by the Eurythmics for when he first meets Eileen.  Also Come on Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners.
