#we will rock you

[quasi-normalcy]

Okay, but you don't know how long I've been looking for this "We Will Rock You" cover. It has everything; the falsetto; the weird spoken bits; the tuba; the thunder sound effects; the rolled 'r's. Freddy Mercury would be proud.

i feel like it'd be really funny just to wear crappy band t shirts like,,, on purpose. just a shirt with the word 'the beetles' or the kmart-ified band shirt that says "we will rock you!!" and there's just a picture of kurt cobain.

I went to see a musical and im no longer suicidial

don't overdose, just go to the theater

[karter-likes-kettles]

yall I'm curious. Reblog dis withur unpopular musical/broadway opinions.

Mine👇

We will rock you ain't even that bad. Like any production it entirely depends on how it's performed. And who by. Sure its cringey as hell but it has opportunities to be good. Don't get me wrong there are thousands of shows better than it. But it doesn't entirely deserve all the hate it gets.

Anyways here’s NKOTB Singing We Will Rock You (Jordan is singing the freddie lines)

And I was thinking what if the KOTNB and the other characters would react to it

Henry: Bro they are singing we will rock you….My grandpa freddie would be proud

Sunny: holy shit

Phineas: They know what queen is?!?

Trin: oh my fucking god

Nori: WHAT THE FUCK

Marissa: OH MY GOD

Varina: Ferb you are dead

Ferb:…..this is my payback for trying to kill Jordan in season 2

Phineas: YOU THINK?!?

Bonus:

Jordan: hey ferb did I sing the queen song right?

Ferb:…….please don’t sing the song written by my own grandpa who amputated my arm and the reason why I have an robotic arm

Henry: THIS AINT GREYS ANATOMY

Varina belongs to @jokerislandgirl32 and Nori belongs to @caityrayeraye

Things people didn't ask for: WWRY headcanons that are so true and make so much sense for no reason

Starting off pretty obv with most of them being neurodivergent!! Esp Gaz and Scara my ADHD/Autistic duo!!

Also I feel pretty obv with Meat and Brit basically adopting all the bohemians as their own kids, except big macca who's the weird uncle. They def took all of them under their wing, including some of the (who I see as) younger ones like Cliff, Charlotte etc.

Brit is a total softie, especially for his wife Miss Loaf🥺🥺 he likes to pretend he's a big macho man but he's type that would bake cookies and cry if they burnt. He def treats Meat like a total queen, and pampers her religiously - and he never wants her to go scavenging with him in case she gets hurt.

With the amount of canon bi and gender non conforming rep that we have in the show, i definitely don't think scara's "they think I'm a lesbian because I don't wear pastels' line should go unnoticed. She definitely likes girls and I do def headcanon that Gazza is basically her only exception because she just radiates queer vibes to me. And also maybe demigirl suits her too - as I really do feel like she feels quite disconnected from what is regarded on planet mall as 'feminine' and 'girly'. (Or maybe I'm projecting)

Gaz is Bi, let's be real.

Little more out there now;

Gazza radiates MtF vibes I cannot explain he just does don't @ me okay.

Pop is Scara's dad this is probably only just me but I got such father/daughter vibes from them and seeing as we never met anyone's parents I feel like it's super up to interpretation but for me it just feels right but he doesn't realise it til yeaaaars after they meet, I.e: "I used to know a gorgeous chick that looked just like you, crazy lady. I knocked her up and after I started working at globalsoft full time never saw her again - I wonder what happened to that ki- *oh*" I dunno it'd just be funny considering everything he says to her when they meet (in both the 2002 productions and more recent ones).

Speaking on the pop subjects that man has stories to TELL and drops lore like atomic freaking bombs. "Oh yeah I used to know KQ really well... REALLY well *wiggling his eyebrows which is met with a chorus of 'ews' from the bohemians*" "oh yeah I know Commander K, very commanding and stuck up, and quick frankly terrible in bed" (because let's be honest, pop has tried everything with anyone, and him an Khash were so roommates when they were as High School).

Brit has never killed anyone. Ever. He makes people think he has, but he once stepped on a bug and sobbed, for hours. Meat had to makeshift a funeral for the poor thing 100% and while Gaz is enthralled by when Brit tells a tale of how he "took a life" the whole gang has to hold back giggles cause they're taken right back to him sobbing on the dirt outside the heartbreak.

Scara got most of the stuff for her act one outfit by sneaking into the archives and finding so much fabric that wasn't available to the public for sale in the malls. My girl is smart and scrappy and def was like the OG goths, dyeing, repurposing and making her own clothes all the time.

Let me know your WWRY headcanons🫶🫶

All For the N's and &'s

When I listen to All For the Love of Rock & Roll (2012), I honestly ask myself why Kiss, in the course of their prowl through music history didn't also write a song called We're Gonna Rock You. Or even better: We'll Rock You (1).

I'm willing to bet that the verse sequence of an almost identically titled song by a certain British rock band must have been virtually waiting in yearning anticipation for decades just to get into the eager hands of Gene or Paul and be processed by them one day. And if that had already happened, that would not surprise me at all.

As I recall a follow-up album for Monster (2012) was announced around 2015/16, which unfortunately never went into deeper studio production, but I guess at least some demos must have been made for it. If I were to ask a statistical physicist or a medium to calculate or predict the probability of a song called "We'll Rock You" appearing on one of Gene's demos, I for one would know exactly what I'd be betting my money on.

I can literally read the credits in my mind's eye: Written by Gene Simmons (2).

Side Note:

(1) In some interview in a magazine in the 90s Gene said that the main difference between Kiss and Queen was the point of view, and if Kiss had written a song like We Will Rock You (1977) they would have called it I Will Rock You. What this could have to do with I Love it Loud (1982) is, of course, a story for another time. But I guess you understand what I was getting at above anyway.

(2) I'm kind of sorry that the name Eric Singer hasn't been mentioned once, although this is one of the rare opportunities for him to sing an album track. Next time, and there will most definitively be a next time .

I decided to use the Ram Jam version for this one. The links are both highlighted at their similar verses. Jesus, they even start at exactly the same second:
