What are Rocky Horror characters favourite nirvana songs?
OMG YES FRQIQRXIQ4FOQ5FOQ5F
(Full disclosure I didn't know any Nirvana until now to prep for this list so if my answers are a little bit strange my bad!!! Also I really only know the basic ones!!! I was super excited to make this list, though!!! :))
Frank: Well let's start out with Beeswax!!! That is DEFINITELY Frank's number one song!!! Followed not to far behind my Spank Thru!!! Frank LOVES these songs because they are INCREDIBLY sexual and they're wild as well!!! Frank LOVES that in a song!!! The only thing that puts Beeswax in a definite lead is that Frank ALWAYS gets it from someone else!!! He always makes sure that someone else who's fuckable and nearby!!! If there isn't, he will ABSOLUTELY lose his MIND!!! It's WILD!!! All this to say that Beeswax is in the lead because Spank Thru is about masturbation and while he still LOVES that in a song, it's not a thing that he personally relates to! He claims that he's "above" masturbation... and everybody else absolutely cringes at that one!!! Either way, Frank BLASTS these songs loud enough that everyone except for EDDIE gets wildly irritated!!! Rocky asked him what the lyrics meant one time and Frank told him everything!!! Thankfully, Rocky somehow wasn't disturbed!!!
Brad: Brad really likes Come As You Are and Lounge Act!!! He says that he finds the songs to be really "chill but also super cool" and "they're not acoustics, they're totally rock! But it's like... I feel a nice cool vibe from the guy!" He's not sure what that means exactly or why these two songs specifically give off that vibe to him and mostly him alone, but it's become a bit of a game now for everyone to try and figure out what those little things that he likes are!!! Is it something in the instrumentals? Is it something in the way that these songs are sung? Is it the tempo? The melody? The keys? Who knows!!! Either way, even EDDIE can't figure it out but Brad likes these two songs a WHOLE lot!!! He always sings along whenever they come on the radio in his cute little "I'm pretending to be a rockstar but quietly" voice! And he'll just quietly sing them throughout his day in general!!! He likes these songs a LOT!
Janet: Janet likes Something in the Way!!! A whole lot!!! She loves the softness that the song has and she loves the way that it feels like a lullaby to her!!! Which is not a description that can apply to that many Nirvana songs!!! She's never really paid much attention to the lyrics and everyone else has pretty much all thought to themselves the exact same thing!!!.... ".... good" Janet has this song on when she falls asleep and she uses it to fall into a very dreamy state if she wants to be in one!!! She also cries to the song when she's sad!!! She finds it SO soothing!!! She loves the way that the melody sounds so calm!!! She loves the other acoustic numbers as well, though!!! Dumb being another one that she really does enjoy!!! Janet never really does listen to the lyrics of any Nirvana songs and she tunes them out! And while they are great lyrics, for her, that is DEFINITELY for the best!!!! She loves the acoustic songs a lot!!!
Riff Raff: Riff Raff's favorite song is DEFINITELY Heart-Shaped Box and he FULLY belts it out ALL THE TIME!!! It reminds him of the way that so many people have fallen into Frank N Furter's often heartless ways after falling for his manipulation!!! and the melody is oddly beautiful in a way, too!!! Even the scream-y parts!!! That chorus is so lovely and wild at once!!! He definitely has cried to it MULTIPLE times, as well!!! It's both a joy and sadness song to him!!! He also definitely thinks that Smells Like Teen Spirit is an absolute BANGER and he loves to sing that one with Eddie and Columbia all the time!!! He mainly loves the songs that are either pure and straight bangers or oddly beautiful in a really rock and roll-y way!!! He also kinda loves The Man Who Sold the World because he likes that there's a song that acknowledges the overwhelming power that some people have!!! It makes him feel... oddly seen? He feels powerless but that song makes it feel a little bit more ok? Either way, he loves those songs!!!
Magenta: Magenta likes the songs that make her feel like she's getting let in on relationship drama!!! And given that artists write from honest places and we can even pin down what certain songs were written about, she's not wrong about that "getting let in on relationship drama" assumption!!! She also really likes All Apologies!!! She will ALWAYS be fond of Kurt Cobain's statement, "I'm not gay, although I wish I were, just to piss off homophobes" she swings both ways and she's VERY pleased with that statement from him!!! Where Did You Sleep last night is another favorite of hers because she definitely feels let in on relationship drama in that one!!! She thinks that that song is so juicy even though it really is quite vague and it isn't all that driving!!! It lets her in on some drama that she DEFINITELY enjoys!!! Magenta LOVES the complete and total lack of filter that Nirvana has and she loves their music!!!
Columbia: Columbia likes Territorial Pissings and Pennyroyal Tea a whole lot because she thinks that they're really fun!!! They're kinda different in terms of their melodies, so it's most likely to do with the way that she first heard them!!! Territorial Pissings is so fast paced that it was ALWAYS her favorite!!! She loves it so much and dances to it SO wildly!!! She's even choreographed a dance routine for it, a swing dance routine for her and Eddie, and a tap dance routine!!! She SOMEHOW managed to make the tap routine to Territorial Pissings FANTASTIC! All of them were amazing but the fact that she managed to turn it into a tap routine was astounding!!! Whereas Pennyroyal Tea was the first Nirvana song that she ever heard Eddie sing!!! He sang it at a karaoke bar and ever since she's loved it SO much!!! It always brings her back to that wonderful wonderful time and the love that she and Eddie have for each other has grown so much since then!!! It really is AMAZING!!! She's such a rock n roll girlie!!!
Rocky: On a Plain!!! The answer is 100% On a Plain!!! Rocky LOVES the instrumentals here and he loves the boppy vibe that Nirvana has for this song!!! It's DEFINITELY his favorite!!! He dances to it and sings it ALL THE TIME!!! It isn't a performance because he doesn't have any training and he's just having fun, but he loves it so much!!! Rocky has NO IDEA what the lyrics mean and NOBODY TELL HIM!!! Because of that song, he has officially begun to believe that getting "high" means "being self-centered" and he has used it in sentences MULTIPLE times!!! He once told Magenta, "I'm very high right now and I don't know if that's a good thing!" And she nearly lost her MIND! She asked him what he meant and then he told her what he thought was going on and she managed to help him, wait until he had gone, and then BURST OUT LAUGHING and told EVERYBODY IMMEDIATELY!!! Rocky is adorable and he LOVES that song!!! But now everybody laughs when that lyric goes through!!! It's amazing!!!
Eddie: HE! MUST! NOT! CHOOSE! A! FAVORITE! CHIIIIILLLLDDDD!!!! Ahhh one of Eddie's great inspirations!!! Eddie always tries to mention a really obscure and unknown one whenever anyone asks what his favorite is, but deep down it's Smells Like Teen Spirit!!! He just doesn't want to seem basic!!! But he also really does like Territorial Pissings and he was SUPER excited to do that swing dance with Columbia!!!.... that said, if you say one bad thing about ANY NIRVANA SONG IN THIS HERE UNIVERSE, he will come straight for your head. Like seriously he will cut it CLEAN OFF! And he will do so without remorse!!! Unless you're his uncle Scotty in THAT CASE you will get a free pass!!! But that is the ONLY time!!! Eddie has fully done cover concerts of Nirvana and he has EVERY SINGLE SONG memorized!!! He is an absolute freak of nature when it comes to Nirvana and he is a force to be reckoned with!!! And y'know what? Good for him!!!
Doctor Scott: Doctor Scott fully expected that he would hate every single Nirvana song ever but he was VERY pleasantly surprised when he heard Eddie listening to Lake of Fire!!! He kept expecting there to be some twist later on in the song that would make him go right back to his belief that he would hate it with the rage and power of a thousand suns, but nothing changed and he ACTUALLY loves the song!!! Eddie was THRILLED to hear it and ran and told Columbia IMMEDIATELY!!! He was so excited!!!! He was nervous for a second before finally asking Doctor Scott if he'd like him to sing it for him and Doctor Scott LOVED it!!! It was a TOTAL bonding moment for the two of them!!! Doctor Scott was VERY happy to finally have a song that Eddie sang that he loved to hear!!! It meant SO much to both of them to finally have that and that made Doctor Scott love Lake of Fire all the more!!! It really is personally special to him!!!
The Criminologist: And here we have the Criminologist who absolutely ADORES Scentless Apprentice!!! That song is a STORY! And he is ABSOLUTELY HERE FOR IT!!! Given that it's completely fictional, he feels perfectly happy having going a bit wild with it!!! He recites the lyrics ALL THE TIME!!! Not singing, he does not sing the lyrics. He speaks them. He speaks them in that dramatic voice of his!!! And EVERYBODY else in the work place can hear him doing this on his break time and it is VERY entertaining!!! He has no idea that they're all listening outside of his door but they actively are!!! If he can have his door locked, he'll stand on top of his desk if it's clean enough!!! They can all hear that he's doing this and he can be seen out the window this way!!! He really should be hired to read audiobooks one of these days!!! He'd make an absolute FORTUNE!!! He absolutely ADORES this song!!! He really does!!!
