Sharing My Playlist – Avengers Edition!

I am so excited about Avengers so all my songs this week are related to the movie. Okay, I love this song because it’s so thumpy and repetitive. There’s a barely restrained rage in this song that fits in how Loki is portrayed in the film, all simmering anger and desperate need to prove himself.

Oh, Captain America, nothing better describes the mixture of cheesiness and heart that was your movie than this song. It’s over the top and full of dancing rockettes and yet, when you think of Steve Rogers and his heart for serving his country and do-good nature, the song just fits. Stalwart and steady and true, indeed. Sing it, ladies! HAHAH! This was the song I wanted for Tony and when I went to youtube, there were already several fanvids for this song for Iron Man. I love the internet. Really, listen to the lyrics, this song is perfect for the ego-driven monster that is Tony Stark/Iron Man.

Hawkeye and Black Widow are two of the Avengers who are ordinary humans…or as ordinary as you can be when you’re the worlds greatest marksman or a beautiful international spy. Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff are two of my favorite S.H.I.E.L.D. employees because they fight with everything they have, even though they don’t have superpowers. They fight because they believe in the cause, they fight side by side with the rest of the Avengers to protect the world and it’s incredibly heroic.

Can you guess who this song is for? “I keep having this dream, I’m at a party and there’s people throwing drinks and screaming telling me I don’t belong”. All about not fitting in, being alienated by friends and loved ones, being changed and unloved…oh yeah, this is a song that’s perfect for the Hulk. It also amuses me to image the Hulk (or Bruce Banner) donning a hat and doing a little soft shoe to this ditty.

 

Thor is a great movie, but Thor has never been my favorite superhero. I’ve always thought that he’s boring. (It doesn’t help that I’ve always found Loki so interesting). I have to admit, that I like this song for Thor because I kind of view him as a big lug who could be singing this to Jane…or to Mjolnir, his trusty hammer.

 

Fight as One – The theme song for the animated Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. This song is running through my head this week…Avengers Assemble! I can’t wait for the movie to come out!
