[thread=652707]This thread [/thread]mentions some of the oddly inappropriate songs the New Directions have sung at various gatherings, notably *Glory Days *at graduation, and Do They Know It’s Christmas at a homeless shelter. They seem to have a knack for this.
Suggest your own inappropriate song and situation combos for the New Directions to perform.
I’ll kick off with:
Brittany is in the ICU : Girlfriend in a coma
Finn goes off to basic training: Billy Don’t Be a Hero / One Tin Soldier medley
Quinn is in Physical Rehab: Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better*
Will has a brain tumor for an episode: 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover (“the problem is all inside your head she said to me…”)
Bieste winds up in a battered women’s shelter: a Tammy Wynette mash-up of Stand By Your Man and Til I Can Make It On My Own (two super defeatist anti-female-independence songs)
Wade is kicked out of the house and must turn tricks as Unique: a mashup of Lovely Ladies and You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman
*stolen from Golden Girls, in which Sophia is evicted from her nursing home for singing this to a stroke victim
Really it’s hard to beat some of the ones that have already been on the show, but here’s an attempt:
A Port-a-Potty gets knocked over and lands on Kurt and Puck, trapping them underneath. They sing “Under Pressure”.
“Do you hear what I hear?” for the Christmas concert at the School For The Deaf.
Artie singing “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’…”
I’m not up to date on Glee this series so thanks for the spoiler warnings…
Oh, Brittany could sing “Teenage Lobotomy”!
DDT did a job on me,
Now I am a real sickie.
Guess I’ll have to break the news
That I’ve got no mind to lose.
All the girls are in love with me,
I’m a teenage lobotomy.
Coach Bieste’s domestic violence storyline continues and the kids sing the Stones’s Under My Thumb
My apologies. I had not realized that a thought-experiment glee thread would have as many spoilers as I now see in the thread. I’ve asked the mods to amend the title.
Done.
Thanks twicks. You’re the best.
Blaine suspects Kurt is having an affair and Rachel knows about it- Back Door Man
*
I’m a back door man
The men don’t know
but the little girl understands*
Sam gets malaria on a church mission trip to Africa: Funkier than a Mosquito’s Tweeter
Brittney decides she’s no longer gay and wants to leave Santana: So Long and Thanks For All the Fish
This reminds me of a plot/song combo I was sort of expecting all season. It’s not inappropriate in the sense the OP is looking for though, it would have been another case of Glee being extremely literal in its interpretation of song lyrics.
**The plot: **Blaine suspects Kurt has been cheating on him. He keeps being mysteriously “busy”, and has reportedly been seen sneaking around with another guy…one who looks like he could be Rachel’s brother.
**
The song: *“Somebody Told Me”, by the Killers. (I’d never seen the video before, but it turns out the singer is even dressed like Blaine.)
*
Somebody told me,
You have a boyfriend,
Who looks like a girlfriend,
That I had in February of last year.
**
The resolution: **Kurt has actually been helping Rachel prepare for the lead role in a community theater production of Yentl.
A big traditional church wedding ceremony with all the trimmings. The song: Ave Satani, the theme song from The Omen.
How about a Pat Benatar medley with “Hell is for Children” a song about child abuse followed with “Hit Me With Your Best Shot”?
Actually it might not be that big of a deal since Benatar herself included both songs on her 1980 Crimes of Passion album.
Kurt’s dad has another coronary event on his wedding anniversary, causing Finn’s mom to have a nervous breakdowns. New Directions sings Total Eclipse of the Heart:
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I’m only falling apart
There’s nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
-Puck finally contracts an STI from sleeping around so much: the Glee club sings Detachable Penis by King Missile. Strangely, this wasn’t the first time today that I needed to copy the link to that song, and it’s only 8 AM.
-When Puck slept with Quinn (and got her pregnant), he could have sung a mash-up of The Wanted’s Glad You Came and Teenage Dream by Katy Perry. (Which would include the lyrics “Hand you another drink, drink it if you can… I can make you glad you came” and “let’s go all the way tonight, no regrets… you and I can be young forever.”)
-Singing at Christmas at a boot camp for morbidly obese kids, and the Glee club sing I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas.
-A medley of I Don’t Like Mondays and Pumped Up Kicks for when Puck has a bad day at school. (“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks, better run… faster than my bullet”)
-For Coach Bieste’s ongoing abuse storyline, Rihanna’s song S&M.
-Finn goes off for military training, and sings 99 Problems.
They would totally do this one, complete with dancing GIs in the background.
