task force 141 + christmas songs

Characters: Simon "Ghost" Riley, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, John "Soap" MacTavish, John Price, Alejandro Vargas, Rodolfo "Rudy" Parra

Type: Fluff, headcanons

Warnings: explicit language

A/N: the order is kinda whack i wrote these as i thought of them. also i have two tests tmmrw halp

ghost:

yes ghost's favorite christmas song is last christmas by wham! it's been confirmed

i mean can you blame him?

to ghost, it's everything he loves about music mixed with a christmas song he can relate to (sort of)

he likes the sort of mellow but still peppy nature of the song (especially compared to artists like mariah carey who he thinks is too peppy and michael buble who he thinks is too mellow)

it's the sorta song you can absent-mindedly sing to while you're working which he enjoys

plus the drums and the cymbals (?) really get him in the festive mood

whenever he listens to it he'll tap his foot/nod to the rhythm or lipsync under the mask (another benefit of keeping his face covered)

ofc your chances of seeing him do this in front of the team are slim to none

but when he's alone (either with you or just in his room or smthing) he'll pull out a little shimmy when the song starts getting good

he also likes the sort of sad undertone to the lyrics

he feels like it adds depth and makes it relatable

kyle "gaz" garrick:

alright hear me out on this one because i actually really love this hc

so first, i can totally see gaz being a fan of tyler, the creator when he was younger, but then being less invested as he grew up

but he went to see the grinch (2018) in theaters on christmas day with his family and that was when he first heard the song

off topic but i also hc that gaz has a younger sister and brother

and they're like considerably younger, like they're children

idk what his canon family situation is like but idc bc this is what's canon now bc i said so

so yeah that's why they went to watch the movie

and i mean what's not to love about this song

he really likes the rap/hip hop twist on a classic christmas song

and let's be real the whole soundtrack slaps like gaz was definitely listening to it on repeat for the entire holiday season that year

when gaz hears this song he definitely starts grooving, clapping, singing along

i mean it's not like he has a choice the song is actually so good i love it so much

like he's just so in love with the way tyler, the creator was able to reinvent an old song and give it such a good beat and like completely change up the cadence but still make it sound good

and yes he lives for the ending scream

rodolfo "rudy" parra:

guys i mean this is just fact atp

and don't say that this isn't a christmas song because that is rudy's biggest pet peeve and he will fight you about it

because according to him it came out during the holiday season and it's a movie with amazing visuals of snow and winter and the main character literally has ice powers so therefore it's a winter movie

sometimes the rest of the team will try and come up with other movie soundtracks that would therefore qualify as christmas music according to his standards

this always pisses rudy off and he'll insist it's different

i think the best part is that rudy watched frozen 2 by himself

i mean he was a big fan of frozen he wanted to see the sequel can u blame him

in his opinion the plot was a little weaker than the first but the soundtrack gave the original a serious run for it's money

and of course before this came out his favorite christmas song was let it go (and yes he also got mad when people said it wasn't a christmas song)

he likes the panic! at the disco version over the idina menzel version because he says it makes him feel more seen

nobody really knows what he means by that

you guys just assume it's because it's a male singer

rudy will also sing this song out loud any chance he gets

he's a decent singer don't get me wrong but that song's got some high notes rudy just can't hit

he swears that one time he was able to hit every single one but he was alone when it happened

usually though he can hit a solid majority (and he always geeks out when he does)

and yes, he will insist on watching frozen and frozen 2 during the holiday season and yes he will sing during every song

john "soap" mactavish:

honestly same, soap, same

soap's a firm believer that not only is this song the best christmas song out there, it should be the face of christmas instead of mariah carey's all i want for christmas is you

people have tried pointing out that all i want for christmas is you isn't necessarily the face of christmas but he insists it is and insists that title is undeserved

he says he hates it because it's overplayed but everyone else is 99% sure there's something more

your theory is that one of his exes really liked all i want for christmas is you and then it ruined the song for him

but now onto sleigh ride

soap believes it's the epitome of everything christmas

it's festive, it's peppy, it's got great vocals

he really likes the instrumentals and it's honestly his favorite part

the snaps, the piano, the flute/whistling, the trumpets (?)

whatever it is he's in love and he thinks that it really just sells the cheeriness of christmas

he also lives for the 'ring-a-ling-a-ling-a-ding-dong-dings"

he will sing those out loud all day any day

he also tries to do mariah carey's whistle notes every time and not once has he ever gotten it

beyond that he also just sucks at singing

but honestly he just seems so happy singing that it sorta cancels out the way he's making everyone's ears bleed

he also does a little head wiggle and shimmy combo to dance to this song

and he does that little like dance and point at the parts of the song right before the beat "drops"

john price

alright so the first time he listened to this song was after christmas one year when his nephew said he wasn't cool

so he figured this song would make him cool

the efficacy of that tactic is still being debated

i mean don't get me wrong pentatonix fucking slaps

but also the acapella version of anything is not a very orthodox way of making yourself cool

needless to say his nephew was not impressed when the next christmas came around

price doesn't care though because he actually fell in love with the song after listening to it for so long

he's very much in awe of the way all their voices can come together and make it sound there's actually instruments and stuff

like he will rave about it for so long whenever the song comes on

whenever it plays he sings along but he doesn't try and beat box

that's bc one time he did that in front of gaz and laswell and gaz had to leave the room while laswell stared at him in shock

it's been his secret life mission to get insanely good at beatboxing and then show them someday ever since then

progress is not going well

also you can bet he has this song memorized to the tee

and yes he'll chastise people if they put the wrong gift to the wrong day

unlike his beatboxing, price's singing is actually pretty good so at least it gives the team something nice to listen to

alejandro vargas:

ok i feel like at first his favorite song was baby it's cold outside by idina menzel and michael buble

and then rudy pointed out the creepy undertones and it ruined the song for him

also he was distraught when he found out

and then this song took over as number one in his heart

for starters, he's just a massive fan of michael buble

also he once got front row tickets to a michael buble concert but he couldn't go last minute because he got called on a mission and he's still salty about it

he likes the way michael buble rewrote the lyrics to be more fitting for guys

also he likes the sorta relaxed almost lazy rhythm of the song

he insists it makes it sexier

nobody knows what that means or why it matters but he's very persistent about it

and god damn alejandro's singing voice is actually good fr

like it gives michael buble but if michael buble was a smoker and did country songs

but honestly the gravel in alejandro's voice works really well when he's singing

and lord knows he sings this song whenever it comes on

it's not obnoxious tho so it's nice to listen to

he doesn't really dance but he'll jokingly offer you a slow dance to this song

he considers this the classiest christmas songs and says it's only for people with real taste in music

Frozen 3 updates: Jennifer Lee will not be returning to direct.

During a recent interview with The Wrap, Jennifer Lee — best known for directing the first two Frozen movies — has confirmed she won’t return as the director for Frozen 3, which was first announced earlier this year. She revealed the story for the upcoming third installment was pitched by a new filmmaker.

“I can’t say where we are [with Frozen 3.] All our stories are driven by the artists in the studio. Where we’re going with Frozen did not come from me,” Lee said. “It came from an incredible person. That’s a new piece, I’ve told no one. And I’ve been blown away by it and I’m just having a blast with that team.”

**

Idina Menzel discussed what she knows so far:

It turns out that Menzel herself doesn't know all that much, telling Billboard that she knows it will happen at some point – and when Disney needs her, it'll bring her in and only then fill her in on what's going on story-wise.

"I don't know a lot," she said. "To be completely honest, they teased it to us, and I have no idea. They don't show you a script. They don't show you anything.

"All I know is, yeah we are gonna make one, and that's it. So, I'm like, 'Cool! I will be able to pay my bills.'"

Eurovision Fact #506:

Andorra's 2008 entry Gisela has the honor of being able to say that she performed at the Oscars.

In 2020, she sang the Castilian Spanish part of "Into the Unknown" from Frozen II when various artists came together to sing the song in 29 different languages.

So it turns out that that little stunt she pulled was an encore. Looks like someone needs to brush up on their terminology and attend concerts more... 😅😳 Omg, imagine if I actually left and missed "Defying Gravity"... I would have died on the inside and probably hate myself even more! Props to me for reading the room lol. That dress was a work of art! And so is she. I still can't get over how effortlessly she stripped that gown down one by one and how smoothly she transitioned into each song. The moment she brought up snowboarding, I knew what song was coming next, but I thought it was going to be "Let it Go" even though I have "Dear Prudence/Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" downloaded. There's a few bands and musicians I like, but not to the point of where I HAVE to see them live or my whole life will be ruined. If I'm going to spend money on a concert, then it's going to be for a band or musician that I really like.

Idina Menzel was an exception and I couldn't be happier for attending. She and this concert changed me for good. 💚

dasfshdgfnkj see, this is why i always have to check the setlist before going to concert, i am just too anxious about everything, really 😅

and i'm still so happy you decided to go! i also hope you will go to more concerts in the future, cause it's truly a life changing experience and worth every penny!

"there's a few bands and musicians i like, but not to the point of where i HAVE to see them live or my whole life will be ruined" <- i feel like this is me with literally EVERY artist that i like lmao. what can i say, i just don't know how to be normal about music.

8 / 15 / 29

thank yooouuuu hehe

8. What musical artists have you felt most connected to over your lifetime?

well of coooourse Taylor Swift and Idina Menzel hehe but in recent (college-ish) years, Sara Bareilles is probably the artist I connect with most. I just think we're very similar and I love the way she talks and thinks about things (plus, you know, go Bruins lmao). Also Alison Sudol (I got to talk to her after a show once and it was amazing). I also feel connected to Maisie Peters and Gracie Abrams, but in a different sort of way.

15. Five most influential books over your lifetime.

influential makes this question so fun hehe The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh My Heart by Corinna Luyken (I could name soooo many children's books hehe) Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke Get Me Out of Here by Rachel Reiland Eragon by Christopher Paolini

29. Three songs that you connect with right now.

"There It Goes" by Maisie Peters "Door Number Three" by Sara Bareilles "Camden" by Gracie Abrams

identity asks! <3

Shuffle your 'on repeat' playlist and post the first ten tracks, then tag ten people

I was tagged by @heresluck!

I don’t really have an “on repeat” playlist, so I threw together my different favorite playlists (mostly sorted by vibe, emotion, or which fandom I associate with which songs) and shuffled them into a giant “list of bangers to belt in the car.” I skipped repeated artists (look, Ani DiFranco’s late 90s-early 00’s run was *formative*)

(1) Because the Night (Live MTV Unplugged) - 10,000 Maniacs

(2) Parachute (Serbian Ghenea mix) - Ingrid Michaelson

(3) Darkness, Darkness - Richard Shindell

(4) Hail Mary Shy of Redemption- Eddie From Ohio

(5) Pick Yer Nose - Ani Difranco

(6) When I Go - Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer

(7) Ladder - Joan Osborne

(8) You Gotta Be - Des’ree

(9) Pilentze Pee (Pilentze Sings) - Bulgarian Women’s Chorus

(10) Scarborough Fair - The King’s Singers ft. Manuel Barrueco

I feel 2000s pop is underrepresented in this sample, so please allow the additions of the first two that shuffled up:

(11) Sober - P!nk

(12) If I Were a Boy - Beyoncé

The most played non-Hamilton musical on my iPhone is either the 2009 Idina Menzel/Josh Groban CHESS or the 1998 OST for THE PRINCE OF EGYPT. That feels representative.

The most played classical piece is the 1955 version of Glenn Gould playing Bach’s Goldberg Variations, which is directly wired to affect my nervous system like Valium.

If you have noticed that I haven’t listened to much new music, well spotted! @heresluck and @kouredios are working on me, as are a couple of other friends, but I have been remiss about putting together new playlists, as I have spent most of the last two years listening to audiobooks (especially the Murderbot Diaries and the Goblin Emperor books).

Tagging @megastoat, @cincoseis, @white-throated-packrat, @fremedon, @agentreynard, @dsudis , @changingthingslikeleaves, @bgoodg and @cereta if they’ve thus far escaped being tagged by someone else and would like to play. But anyone is welcome!

As Long As You're Mine

Written By: Stephen Schwartz

Artist: Idina Menzel & Norbert Leo Butz for Wicked (OBC)

Released: 2003

This song takes place after Fiyero finally tells Elphaba and Glinda that he has feelings for Elphaba so, ending his relationship with Glinda, Elphaba and Fiyero run away together. Elphaba finds it hard to believe that a man like Fiyero could care about a girl like her since all of Oz finds her dangerous and different. Just like in the novel, Elphaba and Fiyero fall in love with each other. But in the novel, the two end up having an intense love affair. While the song greatly reduces the explicit, mature nature of their relationship that occurred in the novel, it hints sexuality.

[ELPHABA] Kiss me too fiercely Hold me too tight I need help believing You're with me tonight My wildest dreamings Could not foresee Lying beside you With you wanting me And just for this moment As long as you're mine I've lost all resistance And crossed some border line And if it turns out It's over too fast I'll make every last moment last As long as you're mine [FIYERO] Maybe I'm brainless Maybe I'm wise But you've got me seeing Through different eyes Somehow I've fallen Under your spell And somehow I'm feeling It's up that I fell [BOTH] Every moment As long as you're mine I'll wake up my body And make up for lost time [FIYERO] Say there's no future For us as a pair [BOTH] And though I may know I don't care Just for this moment As long as you're mine Come be how you want to And see how bright we shine Borrow the moonlight Until it is through And know I'll be here Holding you As long as you're mine [FIYERO] What is it? [ELPHABA] It's just… For the first time… I feel… Wicked!

we fell in love in october

Written By: girl in red

Artist: girl in red

Released: 2018

“we fell in love in october” is about girl in red and her relationship with another girl. The song is about how they fell in love during fall and Marie’s (girl in red’s) feelings toward her. In an interview with The Fader, Marie states that there was a lot of drama between the two and that she struggled accepting her. After a while when everything began to settle in, she accepted her and created this song as a tribute. This song is a prequel to girl in red’s “forget her”, which is about the two breaking up. “we fell in love in october” is girl in red’s most popular song on Spotify to date.

[Verse 1] Smoking cigarettes on the roof You look so pretty and I love this view [Pre-Chorus] We fell in love in October That's why, I love fall Looking at the stars Admiring from afar [Chorus] My girl, my girl, my girl You will be my girl My girl, my girl, my girl You will be my world My world, my world, my world You will be my girl [Verse 2] Smoking cigarettes on the roof You look so pretty and I love this view Don't bother looking down We're not going that way At least I know, I am here to stay [Pre-Chorus] We fell in love in October That's why, I love fall Looking at the stars Admiring from afar (My girl, my girl, my girl) [Chorus] My girl, my girl, my girl You will be my girl My girl, my girl, my girl You will be my girl My girl, my girl, my girl You will be my girl My girl, my girl, my girl You will be my world My world, my world, my world You will be my girl

for the music ask thing: 5, 9, 11, n 28!!! :D

thanks for sending me these, i was hoping to answer a lot of the music ask questions!! 😁 also topic but i’ve noticed that you often like and support the stuff i draw/write and i appreciate that so much! ❤️ anyways here are my answers! hopefully you’re prepared for a lot of rambling on my part shfksksjc

5. “just like a pill” by p!nk always makes me wanna turn up the volume and sing loudly. now i’m thinking about songs that i wanna turn up loud to sing to versus to dance to…like i wanna sing loudly to “he wasn’t man enough for me” by toni braxton, “beautiful liar” by beyonce and shakira, and “i will survive” by gloria gaynor and i wanna dance to “gimme more” by britney spears, “bootylicious” by destiny’s child, “single ladies (put a ring on it)” by beyonce, and “spice up your life” or “wannabe” by the spice girls lol. oh man and “u can’t touch this” by mc hammer, “it’s tricky” by run dmc, and “hey ya” by outkast are songs i would want to sing AND dance to

9. “thank you for the music” and “honey honey” by abba both make me happy. “the great escape” by boys like girls also is nostalgic and makes me happy whenever i hear it

11. “dreamgirl” by dave matthews band. my parents met at a dave matthews band concert so i’ve grown up listening to a lot of their songs and they’re nostalgic to me, and this one is one of my favorites. “free fallin” by tom petty is another one that’s nostalgic for me and it moves me every time i listen to it. the lyrics “i wanna write her name in the sky/i’m gonna free fall out into nothin'/gonna leave this world for a while” just gets me in the feels for some reason idk

28. ohhh man there’s so many artists whose voice i love so there’s no way i can pick just one lol…i love whitney houston, celine dion, beyonce, mariah carey, ariana grande, adele, lady gaga, adele dazeem  idina menzel, and selena, to name a few. for the songs…again, i can’t pick just one but i love “i will always love you” by whitney houston, “it’s all coming back to me now” by celine dion, “listen” and “i care” by beyoncé, “honeymoon avenue” by ariana grande, and “defying gravity” by idina menzel. omg also “macarthur park” by donna summer and “lovin you” by minnie riperton. and lauryn hill’s voice in “killing me softly with his song” (by fugees) 

so yeah i'm very normal about music shgksjfkls

From an interview at Bustle with Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Kristen said in a recent interview she didn’t know about ‘Frozen 3’ going ahead until the day of the media announcement.

Frozen turns 10 this year! How do you view the soundtrack’s legacy today?

Kristen: There’s this incredible family that came out of Frozen. We have a group chat — that whenever something good happens to Kristen [Bell], or Idina [Menzel], or Jonathan [Groff], or [directors] Jennifer [Lee] or Chris Buck, we’re so connected to this incredible group of artists and human beings. And that was not something that I recognized we would have 10 years ago.

Robert: And also, those 10 years that have elapsed since Frozen came out were mostly consumed by making more Frozen — making the Broadway show, making Frozen 2. And now they’ve announced Frozen 3. And honestly, it’s been one of the great joys of our life to have these characters that have supported more and more musical universe building.
