We danced. We didn’t know why. It was something only our bodies could understand, as if our minds were two steps behind. But who has time to think when the record is playing?

did I just become obsessed with the beautiful bond between two kids I saw on an edit on Facebook of an argentinian kid's show from the 90's? Yes. Did I spend like an hour trying to find which show it was? Yes. Did I find it? Also yes. So now here's another edit I found on YouTube because these kids are my absolute favorite and I'm not gonna get over it soon. Thanks
rainbow divider is by @cafekitsune! I really just wanted an excuse to make a little disco edit so I made this masterlist. There might be more songs added to this if I get new ideas/inspirations. If you have any suggestions for them or would like to talk about any one of them, feel free to send an ask my way ❤

summary: Hate. Desire. Anger. You make Cassian feel all of the above but when Azriel assigns him to accompany you on a mission, he finds something even more dangerous. A burning crush on you.
During one of my shower rock fests that are actually just my personal prompt generator time I realised that Transformers Prime X ABBA works weirdly well
Dancing queen - Cue compilation of Transformers Prime best moments, including any bot dance moves (aka all of Starscream’s dramatic monologues and that time Bee danced with Raf)
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! - Literally just the decepticons✨
Mamma Mia - The Autobots✨
The Winner Takes It All - Megatron and Optimus in a buttshell
Take a Chance on Me - Knockout when Starscream’s trying to become leader.
Waterloo - Optimus anytime death is within his grasp (before it’s replaced with life)
Knowing Me, Knowing You - Optimus when he’s willing to kill Megsypoo
One of Us - quite literally A N Y Autobot that appears in the show.
Fernando - IS ARCEE SINGING ABOUT CLIFF.
SOS - Bee (platonic love because it would be about Optimus [season 1] or Ratchet [start of season 3])
Super Trouper - Synth-En Ratchet
Lay All Your Love on Me - Starscream anytime he’s sucking up to Megatron
Chiquitita - Team Prime when Bumblebee during Operation: Bumblebee
Does Your Mother Know - Autobot and Decepticon anthem when a decepticon is trying to get into an Autobot’s head. (Figuratively.)
Voulez-Vous - Imagine all the season finales except this song plays throughout the concluding battles.
Money, Money, Money - The song for the montage of Autobots just taking the scrap that happens to them.
Thank You For The Music - Honestly? Orion Pax singing this. It’s not plot relevant. But him singing quietly to himself while he works.
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do - *screams in trying to work out if this is Megatron to Orion, the decepticons to Megatron, Knockout to Breakdown (or visa versa)*
Slipping Through My Fingers - I DON’T CARE IF I JUST LOOK TO FAR INTO IT, RATCHET OR OPTIMUS SINGING ABOUT BUMBLEBEE. FIGHT ME.
Our Last Summer - ANY RECOUNTS OF CYBERTRON.
So Long - Soundwave. Soundwave. Soundwave.Soundwave.Soundwavesoundwavesoundwavesoundwa-
Tiger - Smokescreen trying to act reckless while an Autobot is always on his ass. OR MECH theme song.
Honey, Honey - Shockwave fans when Shockwave.
Nah but Knockout and Breakdown.
She’s My Kinda Girl - Megatron when Orion.
TODAY I FOUND OUT ABBA HAS A SONG CALLED ‘BUMBLEBEE’ AND IT PERFECTLY DEPICTS WHAT IT WOULD FEEL LIKE LISTENING TO BUMBLEBEE’S AND RAF’S THOUGHTS ABOUT EACH OTHER AND HOW THEY SPEND THEIR TIME TOGETHER.
I saw a post a little while ago to tag the song you claim as the one your fandom would make ship edits of you and your f/o to, and of course because I’m extra I put entirely too much thought into choosing songs for each of my F/Os :P So I’m posting them here for posterity!!
tagging my mutuals who will appreciate these the most @codedreams @maddymoreau @starleska
Eren Jaeger: You Are the Reason - Calum Scott
Jonathan Sims: Unsteady (Erich Lee Gravity Remix) - X Ambassadors
Wanda Maximoff: Boats & Birds - Gregory and the Hawk
Eddie Munson: Work Song - Hozier
Chrissy Cunningham: Chiquitita - ABBA
Dream of the Endless: Strange Sight - KT Tunstall
Aemond Targaryen: Blind - Placebo
Keith Toshko: Don’t Fear the Reaper - Gus Black
Johnny Silverhand: I Really Want to Stay at Your House - Rosa Walton & Hallie Coggins
John Wick: You Have Stolen My Heart - Brian Fallon
Vash the Stampede: Daylight - Taylor Swift
Nicholas D. Wolfwood: Soul - Lee Brice
Wally Darling: Time in a Bottle - Jim Croce
Aesop Sharp: Dancing On My Own - Vitamin String Quartet
also, honorable mention because this song is an anthem for self shippers everywhere: ceilings by Lizzy McAlpine
Potentially delusional thoughts about a possible Mamma Mia 3:
- Andy Garcia is Cuban, but given that he mention “Mexico 1959” it is entirely possible that Fernando is supposed to be Mexican. Either way, this is how we get some of ABBA’s Spanish numbers in. Let’s face it, some of them are definitely better than the English
- Harry keeps being left without a love interest. It’s 2023, give him a man already. Anyway Bill has bi energy, is adventurous, and Stellan Skarsgard says kissing Julie Walters makes his back hurt because she’s so short. Food for thought.
- Rosie can sing If It Wasn’t For the Nights when they break up. Let’s face it, she and Bill were doomed to fail anyway. They got together after having spoken approximately four times, and then he cheated on her, and both of them have said they liked being alone.
- come to think of it, is it possible that the reason Tanya has been married so many times is because she’s either pretending or trying to distract herself from something?… or someone?? It is entirely possible she has been in love with Rosie this entire time and either doesn’t realize it or doesn’t want to lose her seemingly straight lone wolf friend
- so yeah, abba Spanish editions, oh and Bill is Swedish so they could throw in some of the Swedish versions!!! I want Cher to sing Chiquitita
- oh and I want Tanya comforting Rosie over her breakup and it turns into a duet of So Long because that would be iconic
Your edits are so good. The timings are rhythm are immaculate. I keep coming back to them, especially the chiquitita and feels like we only go backwards ones, they're so good. Chef's kiss.
So Abba idea, Bob Phoenix and Reader rocking out to Chiquitita
YES YES YES!!!!!!
rooster banging away on the keys, you all know the words off by heart of course
i also just saw a tiktok edit for bob with super trouper and i just know that would be your song you’d have with him, and it would play at your wedding 🥺🥺🥺
