Do you notice a song that fits well with an Azumanga Daioh character? If so, post it up! Feel free to add lyrics or even an MP3 download if you have that capability!

Example:
"Float On" by Modest Mouse would make a pretty good theme song for Chiyo Chichi, if in title and chorus only. :D

For Osaka:

Except for those two lines that are kind of off, it seems pretty fitting. mp3

Clearly someone needs to do a "bad religion: The animation" picture.

I think that "Dont Let Me Get Me" by Pink might be a pretty good song for Yomi, only the chorus and title though. I'm not sure if teachers dated her or her parents hated her... and I dont think she was compared to Britney Spears. That's why only the chorus and title. Do you think that'd be a good song for her? :mellow:

Bad Religion + Osaka = ... um... :xd:

(On closer inspection of the lyrics, that does seem surprisingly Osaka-ish...)

For Chihiro: Metallica's "Invisible Kid." Mostly just for the title, but the first verse does seem apporpriate (with slight modifications since she's a girl):

Black Flag's "Six Pack" for Yukari. :D

$35 and a six pack to my name
SIX PACK!
Spent the rest on beer so who's to blame
SIX PACK!

THE BLACK ONE!!!

NO WAY!!!

The SPECIAL SAUCE!!!!!

For Osaka, for some reason, I keep coming back to Jimi Hendrix songs. :blink:

Maybe it's because her speeches sound like Hendrix lyrics?

At any rate, here's one:

Purple Haze (Jimi Hendrix)

Purple Haze
All in my brain
Lately, things don't seem the same
Acting funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple Haze
All around
Don't know if I'm coming up or down
Am I happy, or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me

Help me!
Help me!
Oh, no, no...
(solo w/ ad lib vocals)

Yeah!
Purple Haze
All in my mind
Don't know if it's day or night?
You got me blowing, blowin' my mind
Is it, tommorow, or just the end of time?

Wooo...
Help me!
Ye..yeah yeah!
(ad lib until fade)

This fits Tomo nicely, IMHO:

Sakaki: anything from the "Cats" musical

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Sakaki: Al Stewart's "The Year of the Cat" -_-

(Uhh, Hachi, where's the Sakaki version of Carol King's Tapestry? :) )

Ah, as a matter of fact, Ms. Anderson is planning that right now! I will contact Azumanga Records on her project.

(Jeezus, are you clairvoyant on the next big thing from Miss Sakaki or what? LUCKY POINT FOR YOU!)

Ooh. I just thought of a good one. For Yomi, it's Cake's Short Skirt/Long Jacket.

:xd:

You know what song would be good for Osaka: The Meow Mix Song!!!

It's my Osaka abilities <wheea wheea>.

That, and if you hadn't, I would have had to learn to photoshop and do it myself :unsure:

It could have been worse--I could have said one of Jim Morrison's monologues at the begining of Doors songs...

:serenade:

Oh my...

This fits Kimura...

SIMPLY IRRESISTABLE
(Robert Palmer)

How can it be permissible
She compromise my principle, yeah yeah
That kind of love is mythical
She's anything but typical

She's a craze you'd endorse, she's a powerful force
You're obliged to conform when there's no other course
She used to look good to me, but now I find her
Simply irresistable, Simply irresistable

Her loving is so powerful, huh
It's simply unavoidable
The trend is irreversible
The woman is invincible

She's a natural law, and she leaves me in awe
She deserves the applause, I surrender because
She used to look good to me, but now I find her
Simply irresistable, Simply irresistable

Simply irresistable (She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went)
Simply irresistable (She's all mine, there's no other way to go)

She's unavoidable, I'm backed against the wall
She gives me feelings like I never felt before
I'm breaking promises, she's breaking every law
She used to look good to me, but now I find her
Simply irresistable . She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went
Simply irresistable She's all mine, there's no other way to go

Her methods are inscrutable
The proof is irrefutable, Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
She's so completely kissable, huh
Our lives are indivisible

She's a craze you'd endorse, she's a powerful force
You're obliged to conform when there's no other course
She used to look good to me, but now I find her
Simply irresistable (She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went)
Simply irresistable (She's all mine, there's no other way to go)
Simply irresistable (She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went)
Simply irresistable (She's all mine, there's no other way to go)
Simply irresistable!

Speaking of Kimura, this isn't exactly an original idea (it was made into an AMV, after all; in fact, the AMV is the only way I know the song), but Oingo Boingo's Little Girls works, no?

I just thought of another one, this time for Kaorin. I think it sums up her relationship with Sakaki quite nicely:

Bon Jovi's "She Don't Know Me" (have no idea who wrote it)

What more can I do, there's nothing I haven't tried
Still it's so hard for her to notice
That I've tried hard to be straight
There's nothing left I can say
If only she would look my way
Hey Hey
But...

Chorus:
(She don't know me) she don't know
(She don't see me) she don't care
(She can't hear me) she can't hear
(Can not help me) she don't want
(She don't want me) like I want her
(Like I want her) I've got to tell her
(Got to tell her) that I love her
(That I love her)
She doesn't even know my name

I dream of when she'll be mine
I dream of crossing that line
And holding her so tender
Dreaming it could come true
So many things I could do
If only you'd give me a chance
Oh!

Chorus

<Instrumental Bridge>

Chorus and fade


For Sakaki (seriously this time), thinking of the first summer episode

The Little River's Band's "Cool Change" (Glen Shorrock)

If there's one thing in my life that's missin'
it's the time that I spend alone
sailing on the cool and bright clear water
there's lots of those friendly people
they're showing me ways to go
but I never want to lose their inspiration

Chrous:
It's time for a cool change
I know that it's time for a cool change
and now that my life is so pre-arranged
I know that it's time for a cool change

Well, I was born in the sign of water
and it's there that I feel my best
the albatross and the wales, they are my brothers
and it's kind of a special feeling
when you're out on the sea alone
staring at the full moon like a lover

Chorus

Bridge:
I've never been romantic
and sometimes I don't care
I know it may sound selfish
but let me breathethe air

<Sax Solo>

If there's one thing in my life that's missing
it's the time that I spend alone
sailing on the cool and bright clear water
it's kind of a special feeling
out on the sea alone
staring at the full moon like a lover

Chorus and fade

For some odd reason I can picture Tomo singing Madonna's song "Ray of Light"

OMG i know i dotn knwo how to post music but Pink Floyd comterbly Numb would fit ossaka fine its about cocain before concerts but its soo like her all spacy and stuff. u gotta smoke alot of pot to get it.

oand for all the charecters u can do The door's people are strange lol.

and kagura can have that sprts song montauge

and chiyo chan can have um... ummm tomtom chiyo chan

and tomo can have tomtom her too this is hard

ya tomtom the rest u asked a hard question but sakkaki can have sherly temple animal cracker song

Hmm... I don't know how to post lyrics either. Must not have had enough pot, eh?

THANK YOU!

Osaka can either be the Camelot Song from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, or Lewis Carrol's Jabberwocky.

*bump*

With a little lyrical manipulation, Primus' "Southbound Pachyderm" easily becomes "Southbound Osakajin". I think that would make the perfect accompaniment for all the Mobile Student crossovers. :lol:

How about for Nyamo "She Drives Me Crazy"?

Bump for the current thread in the Anime section remind me of this one.

I think Joydrop's "Beautiful" would make a good song for Sakaki.

There's an Irish drinking song simply entitled "BEER BEER BEER" that would be great for Yukari. Hell, I can imagine her getting smashed and taking over the school's PA system to sing it. :lol:

For Tomo, I think Digital Droo's Monkey Developers is a good one. Here's a download and here are where the sound clips are from.

Osaka - "The Night Santa Went Crazy" - Weird Al Yankovic

Every time I hear "Breathe" by Pink Floyd, I think of Osaka... maybe it's just the dreamy, spaced-out vibe of the song. Either that or some sort of wierd, atonal orchestral music.

...that too. Just about any lighter Pink Floyd song would work for Osaka. Another idea: for Chiyo, because of her intelligence, some sort of jazz/rock like "Little Umbrellas" or "Moggio" by Frank Zappa. Most of his works with lyrics are "not for little Chiyo's" though, but his instrumentals remind me of Chiyo though. So technical and complicated, but campy and fun anyways ^_^

Edit: You also get extra bonus points for listing a song containing 2 of the BEST guitar solos of all time... I hope Osaka appreciates it :P

Edit #2: Another DSOTM classic for Osaka: "Brain Damage"... :P

ah, those silly trolling n00bs and their illegal narcotics. :lol:

skaro's Blenderhead/Osaka peiring still works the best for me, just because I've heard it and it would make an excellent AMV. :)

Silly self-defensive argument: I for one do not condone drugs, but the song choice of that n00b was perfect. I never would have thought of that song. But Osaka really does seem to be "Comfortably Numb"...
