He's a cold blooded snake, can't thermoregulate
Oh oh, he'll just sit and wait
For his prey to come along, and then he'll use his fangs
Oh to pump, venom in their veins, oh
You're the one turnin' up the heat, anytime he needs it
But you turn it down and then he's off and sunnin' in the road
You're the one with mice to eat, anything to feed him
Do you really think he wants to snuggle? He's just cold.
He's a cold blooded snake, can't thermoregulate
Oh oh, he'll just sit and wait
For his prey to come along, and then he'll use his fangs
Oh to pump, venom in their veins, oh
It was only yesterday, he was out there slith'rin'
Then he met a python and his loyalty began to stray
All the world's a heating lamp, he's been sunning with her an'
When it comes to hunting, pythons take his breath away
He's a cold blooded snake, can't thermoregulate
Oh oh, he'll just sit and wait
For his prey to come along, and then he'll use his fangs
Oh to pump, venom in their veins, oh
You could find a pet that's better, girl, he's an ectothermic guy
You deserve a fuzzy puppy, girl, he's c-cold as ice
Cold as ice, he's cold as ice, he's cold as ice
Stay away from him, girl
C-c-cold blooded
C-c-cold blooded snake
C-c-cold blooded
C-c-cold blooded snake
He's a cold blooded snake, can't thermoregulate
Oh oh, he'll just sit and wait
For his prey to come along, and then he'll use his fangs
Oh to pump, venom in their veins, oh
He's got milky eyes, know what that implies
Gonna shed his skin, girl, don't let him win
He's a cold blooded snake, can't thermoregulate
Oh oh, he'll just sit and wait
For his prey to come along, and then he'll use his fangs
Oh to pump, venom in their veins, oh
He's a cold blooded snake, can't thermoregulate
Oh oh, he'll just sit and wait
For his prey to come along

Krypton Girl (Uptown Girl - Billy Joel)
(Yes, I am a nerd. I think we've established that by now. And I am a nerd who is really excited for the new season of Supergirl and who thinks Kara and Winn are adorable together. I'm not incredibly proud of some of the rhymes, but I got a rhyme for "Phantom Zone" that totally fits with the story so... I'm pleased.)
Krypton girl
She'd been living in her red sun world
And then destruction of her world began
and she was sent to care for Superman
That was the plan. But now he's all grown
'Cause she was stuck inside the Phantom Zone
She crashed on Earth, a normal life began,
And now she's working with an Earthling man
That's what I am
And she gets coffee and food for Cat Grant
Her sister was forced to kill Kara's aunt
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with a Krypton girl
You know I've seen her fly; she spins and twirls
She's getting sick of fighting Maxwell Lord
And all the aliens Fort Rozz once stored
She's getting bored
Krypton girl
You know I love it when her cape unfurls
If Jimmy Olsen's dating Lucy, then
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll Winn
And when she's flying
She's looking so fine
And I'm just sighing
I hope she'll be mine
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
With a Supergirl
She'd been living in her red sun world
As long as anyone from Krypton can
And now she's looking for an Earthling man
That's what I am

Byronic (Ironic - Alanis Morissette)
A poet turned thirty-six
He fought an army, and died the next day
It's a rabid dog who's passing away
It's a deformity; a foot with a crick
Isn't it Byronic, don't you think
It's inspiring Prometheus Unbound
It's a pet bear when they don't allow hounds
It's waking up, being suddenly renowned
Who would've thought, it figures
Mr. Don Juan was not afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed Ada good-bye
She spent her whole damn life on numbers and code
She died at thirty-six and thought
"Well, that's not that old."
And isn't it Byronic, don't you think
It's walking in beauty, just like the night
It's all that's best of dark and light
It's your cousin's wife mellowed in tender light
Who would've thought, it figures
Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
A Maid of Athens stealing your heart
A Romantic movement, but ere we must part
It's like an epitaph to a dog you once had
It's meeting the girl of your dreams
And then learning you've got the same dad
And isn't it Byronic, don't you think
A little too Byronic, and yeah I really do think
It's walking in beauty, just like the night
It's all that's best of dark and light
It's your cousin's wife mellowed in tender light
So we'll go no more a roving
Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny way of helping you out
Helping you out.

Stuck in the TARDIS with You (Stuck In The Middle With You - Stealers Wheel)
(disclaimer: I don't know offhand if the Doctor was ever in danger of destroying ancient Rome. I needed the rhyme)
Well I don't know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain't right,
I'm so scared that we'll get lost out in space,
And I'm wondering where you got that new face,
Oods to the left of me,
Daleks to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the TARDIS with you
Yes I'm stuck in the TARDIS with you,
And I'm wondering what it is I should do,
It's so hard to keep these secrets I know,
and I'm longing for some real Christmas snow,
Boe to the left of me, angels to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the TARDIS with you
Well you started out on Gallifrey,
you're sad that you're the last Time Lord,
Your assistants and companions
follow you through space and time
Allons-y, Allons-y
Trying to make some sense of it all,
But I can see that it makes no sense at all,
It's much bigger inside your police box,
and I want to cause a bad paradox
Cats to the left of me, Silence to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the TARDIS with you
Well you started out on Gallifrey
You stopped the Time War by yourself
And your friends, they're counting shadows,
You regenerate and say,
Allons-y, allons-y
Well I don't know why we came to the moon,
I got the feeling it's gonna hatch soon,
I'm so scared that we'll destroy ancient Rome,
And I'm wondering how I'll ever get home,
Veils to the left of me,
Sky fish to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the TARDIS with you,
Yes I'm stuck in the TARDIS with you,
Stuck in the TARDIS with you, here I am stuck in the TARDIS with you
Well I don't know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain't right,
I'm so scared that we'll get lost out in space,
And I'm wondering where you got that new face,
Oods to the left of me,

Opportunities (Let's Kill Adolf Hitler) (Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money) - Pet Shop Boys)
(I'm not generally the biggest fan of the Eleventh Doctor, but I quite enjoyed the episode Let's Kill Hitler, and Mels' line "You've got a time machine, I've got a gun; let's kill Hitler" had me humming Pet Shop Boys all day. Yes, I know, I'm a total nerd.)
I've got a gun, you've got a box
Let's kill Adolf Hitler
You've got a TARDIS, I've got a gun
Let's kill Adolf
I've had enough of scheming and messing around with jerks
My car is in a field, I'm afraid it doesn't work
I'm looking for a Doctor, to kill him is my aim
I'll answer your question, if you'll tell me your name
I've got a gun, you've got a box
Let's kill Adolf Hitler
You've got a TARDIS, I've got a gun
Let's kill Adolf Hitler
You can tell I'm educated, the Silence trained me well
An archaeologist, I'm locked up in a cell
I can handle any sonic, choose the perfect time
If you've got the police box, I have got the crime
Oh, there's a lot of opportunities
If you know when to take them, you know?
There's a lot of opportunities
If there aren't, you can make them
Make or break them
I've got a gun, you've got a box
Let's kill Adolf Hitler
Let's kill Adolf
Hitler
Now you're poisoned by my lipstick, from the Judas trees
I'll sacrifice my lives, now let's synch our diaries
I'm looking for a Doctor, regardless of how long
it takes. I'll marry him, because I'm River Song
Let's

Making Radium (On the Radio - Donna Summer)
(Because, many historical anachronisms notwithstanding, I like to believe that Marie and Pierre Curie celebrated their Nobel Prize in Physics with a Donna Summer dance party. And yes, I know the prize wasn't technically for making radium, but more for the discovery of and work with radiation and that the Radium Girls weren't happening around that time. Don't think I don't care and obsess over scientific accuracy; I do, but sometimes a little bit of inaccuracy fits the song better.)
Someone won the Nobel Prize for making radium
And they'll get a medal made of gold
They must have overlooked my contributions and experiments
They said the laureates
were Pierre and Becquerel
Whoa You were mad, complained to them, and so they added me
Now I'll get a Nobel medal too
We can't go there in person; we're too busy working here in Pare-ee
But they're celebrating us, in Sweden for
making Radium
Whoa, oh, oh
making Radium
Whoa oh oh oh
making Radium
Whoa, oh, oh
making Radium
Whoa, oh, oh
Now, now
Don't it kinda strike you sad when you hear our work
is being used to make all the watch faces glow
The girls who paint them ingest the radium, and they get sick
It causes pain and anemia, death and woe
Whoa, oh, yeah, yeah
And it made me feel proud when I heard you say
You couldn't find the elements by yourself
And now in my heart I know radiation's making me sick
But they're celebrating us, in Sweden for
making Radium
Whoa, oh, oh
making Radium
Whoa, oh, oh
making Radium
Whoa, oh, oh
making Radium
Whoa oh oh
making Radium
If you think that love can't be found making radium
Well come right in you may find an isotope
'Cause now I'm sitting here with my daughter and her Nobel Prize
They're celebrating us, in Sweden for
making Radium
Whoa, oh, oh

Last Sunday Night (Last Friday Night - Katy Perry)
(spoilers for The Walking Dead season 6 finale.)
90 minute Walking Dead
Lucille bashing in a head
Blood is all over the lens
Many people think it's Glenn's
Eeny Meeny Moe
This is such a violent show
Family lined up on their knees
This finale didn't please
Pictures of last week analyzed online to death
Oh well
It's a cliffhanger and it made me hold my breath
Damn
Last Sunday night
Carol's injured like we thought
Morgan finally took some shots
Watched his pretty pony trot
Last Sunday night
Yeah they tried a lot of roads
And their confidence erodes
During this whole episode
Last Sunday night
One of their skulls has been marked
Monologuing in the dark
Kind of loving Negan's snark
Last Sunday night
Yeah I think he broke a skull
But at least it wasn't dull-ull
ooh-ohh
This Sunday night
Fear The Walking Dead
This Sunday night
Fear The Walking Dead
Can't wait for the big reveal
Have to know who met Lucille
Point of view from in the truck
Enid's in a closet, stuck
Eugene got captured again
Father Gabe's a trusted friend?
Walkers chained up in a row
Maggie's sick; we got to go
(repeat ad infinitum)
