I've always thought that about "The Smoothie Song". It always made me think of Firefly -- guess I'm not all that weird, eh?

Yes, I am. I won't kid myself.

I'd say you weren't that weird at all, but that would be the pot calling the kettle... sooo...

I love these posts. Okay - here we go.

"You're the One" by Tracy Chapman never fails to make me think of Jayne
Some say you’re crazy, Say that you’re no good
Say your family’s cursed with bad blood
But I think you’re cute and misunderstood
And I wouldn’t change you if I could
Let’em talk you down, Call you names
My mind’s made up - it ain’t gonna change
I’m sure in my heart, Happy and free
You’re the one you’re the one
You’re the one for me

"My Sacrifice" and "One Last Breath" by Creed because they sound like thoughts Mal would have when thinking about the war and everyone he knew who didn't make it.
Hello my friend we meet again
It’s been a while where should we begin…feels like forever
Within my heart are memories
Of perfect love that you gave to me
I remember

When you are with me
I’m free…I’m careless…I believe
Above all the others we’ll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice

~fade to black, queue the next track ~

Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

"The Remedy" by Jason Mraz, sounds like an Independent tap on an Alliance cortex wave (hey, I said I was crazy)
I heard two men talking on the radio
in a crossfire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
they were counting down the days
to stab the brother in the be right back

"When I Look to the Sky" by Train for Serenity
Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you’re here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I’m lost something tells me you’re here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

Saving the best for last...

"Sound of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel - it's been called Mal's Theme.
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

I know there's more -

If this appeared on the other thread, or even if it didn't - sue me.

Yep, I said it. Now proceed to flame away.

Firefly, by A*Teens.

No objection here. My mom used to play Abba for me as a kid. And a couple of years ago a friend of mine who worked for Rent-A-Center brought home this CD they played in the store. It had the A-Teens song, "Upside Down" on it. We thought the video was so hi-larious that we made him play it repeatedly and started putting A-Teens posters up around the house.

And I can't believe nobody's mentioned "The Joker" by Steve Miller.

"Some people call me the space cowboy"
plus, it's about a rough and tumble lifestyle. Could not be more appropriate.

I'm interested in that "Invisible Sun" sounds very interesting.

Here's the lyrics:

I don't want to spend the rest of my life
Looking at the barrel of an armalite
I don't want to spend the rest of my days
Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say
I don't want to spend my time in hell
Looking at the walls of a prison cell
I don't ever want to play the part
Of a statistic on a government chart

There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done

It's dark all day and it glows all night
Factory smoke and acetylene light
I face the day with me head caved in
Looking like something that the cat brought in

There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done

And they're only going to change this place
By killing everybody in the human race
They would kill me for a cigarette
But I don't even wanna die just yet

There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done

The chorus makes me think of the two faces of the Blue Sun Corporation. People who are more inclined to the status quo (Inara, Simon's father, etc.) will probably see the Blue Sun as a beneficial or neutral facet in their society. That's why it gives them hope. Those institutions can only make their lives better.

The rest of the song belongs primarily to Mal and Zoe, as they are the two who are most opposed to the Alliance and anything affiliated with them.

"Two by two, hands of blue." -River Tam
