Okay, so I haven't written any fic since college, although I'm an avid reader. So when I started reading some of the shuffle challenges, I thought I give it a shot, just for fun.
I do admit to cheating a bit—my mp3 player is hooked up to my stereo in a different room, so I had to keep running back & forth. Frequent kitten visits to my keyboard created a few issues, too. But I tried to keep to the spirit of things by only writing what I thought of in the course of the song, and I did skip though a few utterly impossible things (I have a lot of weird stuff on my player).
The songs that came up were:
1. Mercy (Where is the Love I've Lost)-- Steve Jones, Miami Vice soundtrack
2. Forever—Kenny Loggins
3. Pain is So Close to Pleasure—Queen
4. A View to A Kill—Duran Duran
5. Princes of the Universe—Queen
6. The Kiss—Last of the Mohicans Soundtrack
7. a.) Get It On (Bang a Gong)—Power Station
b.) Elli Tmanetoh—Nawal Al Zoghby
8. Taking it all too hard-- Genesis
9. Rock n' Roll-- Stevie Nicks (Live)
10. The Girl from Ipanema— Stan Getz/ Joao Gilberto (Duke Ellington)
I've listed the album info on a few of the more obscure songs. On number 7, the first song came up, which gave me the idea. The second is an Arabic pop song I've used for bellydancing, and it went with what I started, so…
And yes, I'm a racing fan and (former) bellydancer.
Hope you enjoy it—if you like it, please drop a me a line, as I haven't done this in a while, and really never knew what I was doing in the first place….
Special thanks to notesofwimsey for the inspiration…
