Tonight’s love song is for Marceline from Adventure Time. (Score! 10 more campy points!) We almost never watch T.V. at CI (we are too busy writing songs for you beauties); but if we do, it’s Adventure Time or The Regular Show. The music on both shows is ingenious in that it takes common structures, with simple hooks, and pairs them with odd lyrics. They all are instantly stuck in my head. It was a wonderful challenge writing lyrics that are intentionally awkward for this song. Fans of the show will revel in the references and recognize some language (i.e. “emotionally exhausting”). I truly believe if Marceline was real, she’d be the perfect woman; my lyrics explain why. I went for short and sweet with this—just like the tunes in the show. I apologize for all the white noise; the only way to record my Beemo (pictured here) singing b-l-o-o-d was with the mic turned up too loud. I devote this song to Marceline at—marceline-the-queen, marceline-your-vampire-queen, and je-marceline—and to these blogs with great Adventure Time content: adventuretimefan, dettsu, itsliketotallyadventuretime, fyeahadventuretimefanart, adventuretimeconfessions, merryadventuring, and shadowofmefisto. Thank you for the inspiration, bloggers! This song can also be found on YouTube here; free downloads here; and, if you like it, share it! If people really enjoy it, then I may write more songs based on the Land of Ooo. If you have any requests/ideas, message me! — K.C.
Marceline, Be My Vampire Queen (Part 1)
Oh, Marceline, be my Vampire Queen;
it will be emotionally exhausting
but worth it.
You may be the only shot I have at love;
you may be the only one who values the red of my blood.
And Finn can have Bubblegum—I hate pink, and I hate sweet.
I want a dark woman who plays electric bass.
And you may be 1,000 years old, but you’re emotionally unstable like a teen (like me):
your fry song made me cry for weeks.
I know about Hambo, I know you feel love.
And my love only comes in shades of red;
I’ve got so much, you’ll never be hungry again.
CHORUS
