07. Song that reminds you of HP

I really don't know how to answer this question as it is. There isn't any one song that reminds me of HP, unless it is the HP theme song. There are, however, several songs that I equate with certain characters, so perhaps I'll have a go at that.

Let's start with Rita Skeeter, bitchy journalist and self-styled femme fatale (in my mind):



Of course, there is the incomparable Joan Jett number, 'Bad Reputation', with appropriately Rita themed video:

Absolutely everything on Fiona Apple's 'Extraordinary Machine' album, but especially Tymps (The Sick In the Head Song):

Alice Cooper, 'Poison':

black lace on sweat
I want to hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
ahdghjdghjsgdg YES

And there are more, but I'll keep it to these. Lastly, Puscifier, Rev 22:20

christ is coming, it's no surprise, even he would martyr his momma to ride to hell between those thighs

Other characters?



A lot of Nightwish makes me think of Bellatrix (possibly because Tarja Turunen looks like her), but this (solo Tarja) song about a young girl and darkness reminds me of her specifically:

Minerva McGonagall: Tori Amos, 'Eitenne':

Apologies for this being a Dr Who fanvid. It was the only one I could find with the album version of the song. Open it in a new tab and listen :)

On Tori Amos, I remember when I first bought 'The Beekeeper', I was bunnied like a whoah for a whole bunch of godawful songfics that you can find on my masterlist if you truly want to read them

And just for lulz, Dumbledore's gayness immortalised by music from Little Britain:

There are probably more, but I think that will quite do.

The Nightwish-song is a very good fit for Bellatrix, I think the whole style of singing/music does suit her *gg*;
and I loved the "Etienne", which I had never heard before (and I could not resist looking at the video: having never seen or read any "Dr. Who" despite hearing about it so often... now I really think I should, it looks fun *LOL*)
