Konnichiwa!

My last few FMA videos I made have been more serious and whatnot, so now I want to make a fun video, I just need a good song. Does anyone have any good, fun song ideas?

Here are a couple of ideas I mentioned on another thread, both focusing on the Elric Brothers:

"You've Got a Friend In Me" by Randy Newman (from the soundtrack to Toy Story)

"If I Didn't Have You" by Randy Newman and John Goodman (from the soundtrack to Monsters, Inc.)

Another idea -- the old 1920's hit "Side by Side" which was written by Harry Woods and first made popular by the Paul Whiteman Orchestra. You can find the lyrics and the melody at this website:

I'm a big fan of the Beatles, and with the imagery of songs like Penny Lane, I've been searching for anime matches. Well I think mebbe I found one. FMA and Penny Lane.

Hear me out - Penny Lane is about walking around in a place and describing the people you see. Now go get out your lyrics and follow along - The "barber" should be Hughes - just look at the opening line. The "Fireman" should be Mustang, for obvious reasons. Lastly, the "banker" should be Armstrong - there's a line that goes "and he never wears a mac in the pouring rain, very strange" See where I'm going. You could probably fit Ed and Al during the chorus, and numerous other small characters in other roles in the song. "pretty nurse" - etc - One part I don't have figured out is the "portrait of the queen," but maybe I need to see more or something. Hope you like this idea. Even if you don't do it, I just hope you like it.

Maybe it's not what you're looking for, but I recently saw a Naruto video that had "Ready To Die" by Andy W. K. and it just struck me as funny - upbeat-ish.
Good luck!

Hmm... Ever thought of doing a funny parody type video?. If you're doing FMA then it might be cool to see a funny tribute to Winry. In a funny way, she reminds me of an anime female Tim "The Toolman" Taylor since she's such a gearhead, so the theme music from "Home Improvement" might be fun to use!. Just a thought!.

Alright, one is "Floorfiller" by the A*Teens, another is "How Long" by the Turtles, and if you want it to be more of a joke than anything, try The Hamster Dance. I can send you either Floorfiller or How long if you want, but I don't have the Hamster Dance-- it annoys the crap outta me.

Oy-- forgot "I'll Make A Man Out of You" from Mulan; I can send that one too, and that one seemed to be a really popular idea, but I haven't seen it yet in an AMV.

You could allways do something from the Rocky Horror Picture Show... Lets do the Time Warp or Sweet Transexual...

And then, there is also, When Your A Jet - From the West Side story or I feel pretty from the same...

Just some Ideas...
