So! To celebrate the return of my favorite flossy show tonight I decided to finally post up this fanmix. I'm not even exaggerating when I say that I've had parts of this fanmix on my computer since s1. It takes me FOREVER to post fanmixes because a.) I'm lazy and b.) I'm a big weirdo that has to make sure every song ~fits~.


Ain't Born Typical {A Serena Fanmix}


But putting off posting might have worked out for the best because if there's anyone who has been holding it down this season, it's been Serena. She's stolen polo horses. She's gone toe to toe with Tyra Banks and lived. She fake dated fake!R.Patz. She lost Carter to texas justice and a BOAT. (It's not like that T-Pain video Carter! You're not going to be wearing flippy floppys and riding dolphins!) She dated a married senator and survived a WOLF ATTACK. (~*IMPRINTZ*~) She pushed Blair's face into a cake. She and Nate were briefly the world's worst card sharks. Serena has basically pwned the first half of this season.

So without further ado....fanmix time:



01. URA Fever- The Kills
Dancing on the legs of a new-born pony
Left right left right
Keep it up son
Go ahead and have her
Go ahead and leave her
You only ever had her
When you were a fever

I am a fever
I am a fever
I ain't born typical
(I don't know why but this song has always been my ultimate Serena song.)

02. Sick Muse- Metric
She said: I'm with stupid. Money is a sick muse
Pull your little arrows out and let me live my life
The one I gotta lead, all the blondes of fantasies

And we looked at them eleven ways
You said, "look at me," and looked away
And you wrote the song I wanna play
I'll write you harmony in C

Everybody, everybody just wanna fall in love
Everybody, everybody just wanna play the lead

03. Between the Bars- Elliott Smith
Drink up baby, stay up all night
With the things you could do
You won't but you might
The potential you'll be that you'll never see
The promises you'll only make
Drink up with me now
And forget all about the pressure of days
Do what I say and I'll make you okay
And drive them away
The images stuck in your head

The people you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

04. Turned to Real Life- Shiny Toy Guns
Eyes are magic
See right through me
Makes me feel like
A girl in a fantasy
Turned to real life
--
Makes me feel like
A girl in a fantasy
Turned to real life
I'm a believer
For the first time
I can be beautiful
A girl in a fantasy
Turned to real life

05. Girl- Tori Amos
She's been everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own

06. Queen and I- Gym Class Heroes
I love it how she breathes booze in the mornin'
Man, it's so sexy how she can't remember last night
I made a fatal mistake letting her drink again
But who the hell am I to tell her how to live her life?
--
'Cause baby girl's a queen
But the queen is just a pawn with a bunch of fancy moves
And she's made me a fiend
I'm going through withdrawals 'cause I got nothing to lose

07. Bore- Emily Haines
You like my hair and that's all that matters
--
It's not crazy anymore, every busride's such a bore
I miss that shiny downtown whore that I was before

08. Manhattan- Kings of Leon
I like to dance all night,
summons the day,
but that's how I play,
yeah that's how I play,
I said who are you?
don't matter who you are,
so we dance all night,
and dance all day

I say,
I say

We're gonna fuel the fire,
gonna stoke it up,
we're gonna sip this wine,
and pass the cup,
who needs avenues,
who needs reservoirs,
we're gonna show this town,
how to kiss these stars

09. Believe- The Bravery
There's a smell of stale fear that's reeking from our skins.
The drinking never stops because the drinks absolve our sins
We sit and grow our roots into the floor
But what are we waiting for?


So give me something to believe
Cause I am living just to breathe
And I need something more
To keep on breathing for
So give me something to believe

10. Dance in the Dark- Lady Gaga
Baby, I’m a free bitch
I’m a free bitch

Some girls won’t dance to the beat of the track
She won’t walk away
But she won’t look back
She looks good
But her boyfriend says she’s a mess
She’s a mess
She’s a mess
Now the girl is stressed

Baby loves to dance in the dark
‘Cuz when he’s lookin’
She falls apart
Baby loves to dance in the dark (Tellem’, girls)
--
She looks good
But her boyfriend says she’s a tramp
She’s a tramp
She’s a vamp
But she still does her dance
She’s a tramp
She’s a vamp
But she still kills the dance

11. Animal- Miike Snow
But I'm still trying to make my mind up
Am I free or am I tied up?

I change shapes just to hide in this place but I'm still, I'm still an animal
Nobody knows it but me when I slip yeah I slip
I'm still an animal

There is a hole and I tried to fill up with money, money , money
But it gets bigger to your hopes is always

Running,running,running

12. Creator- Santogold
Got no need for the fancy things
All the attention that it brings
Tell me no, I say yes, I was chosen
And I will deliver the explosion
--
Me, I'm a Creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar
Me, I'm a Taker
Know what the stakes are
Can't roll it back, it's understood
Got to play our cards

13. Hurricane Drunk- Florence and the Machine
No home,
I don't want shelter,
No calm,
Nothing to keep me from the storm,
And you can't hold me down,
'Cause I belong to the hurricane,
It's gonna blow us all away.

I'm going out,
I'm gonna drink myself to death

14. Stella Was a Diver and She Was Always Down- Interpol
When she walks down the street
She knows there's people watching
The building fronts are just fronts
To hide the people watching her

She was all right because the sea was so airtight, she broke away
She is all right but she can't come out tonight, she broke away
