Burn You: A BBC Sherlock Parody
(Based, of course, on Cee-Lo’s Forget You. I would like to apologize for the craptastic quality of my recording/editing software and also for my high notes. I am an alto two, so Cee-Lo’s falsetto notes are not ~exactly in my range, but I did my best. Credit for part of the bridge and general lyrical assistance goes to saintdoriangray, thanks so much! Mild spoilers for Reichenbach.)
I see you solvin’ my crimes with my devious clues
And I’m like, I’ll burn you (oo-oo-oo!)
I think you would make such wonderful shoes
And I’m like, I’ll burn you and burn John too
If I wasn’t forgiving, you wouldn’t be living
Oh, but this is fun (isn’t this fun?)
And though you’re awfully cute, I’ll still tell Seb to shoot
And I’ll burn you (oo-oo-oo!)Hey Sherly, it’s Jim from IT
I had some cute gay underwear
I left my number, but you didn’t call me
Now you know I don’t play fair
I’ll blow up that fool who hangs around with you
(I play with semtex, and now I’m Mr. Sex)
Ooh, I’ve got some bombs for you
Now, run and tell your little doctor friend…[Chorus]
Hey shorty, it’s Moriarty
Wearin’ Westwood, lookin’ cool
I’ll destroy ya, oh I adore ya
And I look so good in the crown jewels
I’ll blow up that fool who runs around with you
(I play with semxtex, and now I’m Mr. Sex)
Ooh, I’ve got a game for you
You didn’t realize I was insane til now?[Chorus]
Now virgin, virgin, virgin, virgin, you need to get laid so bad (so bad, so bad, so bad)
Your flatmate’s heterosexual, your frustration is oh so sad (so sad, so sad, so sad)
Don’t shoot, don’t shoot, don’t shoot, Sherly
I owe you, I still owe you, oh-oh-oh[Chorus]

“You think so? I do too!”
Sophie took it especially hard when Howl said there wasn’t a point in living if he wasn’t beautiful because he basically implied that she herself had no point in living. I love that, by helping Howl to find his heart, Sophie also strengthens her own in the sense that she gains confidence in her own beauty. It’s telling how Howl compliments her silver hair, since silver hair is generally a mark of old age and wisdom. In a way, both of them have matured since the beginning of the movie, and it’s almost as if he’s complimenting her for this too. What I think is most wonderful about the scene where he calls her hair beautiful is that it’s probably one of the first truly heartfelt compliments he’s given anyone since he lost his heart as a boy. He always had a charm about him, but before meeting Sophie it was pretty obvious that it was superficial given his self-absorbed attitude.

5. GRUMBLE LIKE A FISHERMAN BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE KETTLE AREA TO GO TO THE FRIDGE TO GET MILK AND BACK TO IT AGAIN AFTER YOU ADD IT
6. RUN BACK TO WHATEVER YOU WERE DOING, TAKE A COMFORT SIP AND THEN EITHER FINISH IT OR FORGET ABOUT IT AND MOAN ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU LET IT GO COLD

oh gdo i had like 3 of these
everytime I let them go, they’d punch me in the face. I loved these things.
I got banned from playing these when I was a kid. I used to aim it at other’s faces.
3?
I had fucking 20
Oh man. I had so many.
Then they got recalled.
They sent me a Furby.
I hate Furbies.
I got the cheap tiny versions. They didn’t work out so well.
