Fandom Snowflake - Day Twelve 2018

Day 12

In your own space, create a fanwork. Make a podfic, an icon, a sketch, a meta, or a rec list. Arts and crafts. Cross stitch. Draft an essay about a particular medium. Put together a picspam or a fanmix. Write a review of book you love, a ship manifesto, a you-should-be-listening-to-this-band essay. Create something.

Um. While I ponder what to do, here is me singing Nature Boy

*time passes*

Okay. I'm back. And I bring you:

Party King Thranduil's Retro Dance Party!
Four Songs that the Party King would have danced to back in the day:

1) 1960s
Back in the 60s, I'll bet that the Dancing King enjoyed him some Tom Jones songs. And while I'm sure he enjoyed What's New Pussycat (1965), he's guaranteed to have danced more often to It's Not Unusual (1965).

2) 1970s
Speaking of dancing royalty, in 1976 ABBA's Dancing Queen was released. Our royal dancer was bound to have been a fan. (At least until Stayin' Alive came out the following year.)

3) 1980s
You cannot convince me that Thranduil didn't spend 1981 dancing the Prince Charming. Probably he's actually in the video along with Adam and the Ants, but we just don't know.

4) 1990s
You know that back in 1992, His Partiness was dancing to Right Said Fred's - I'm Too Sexy. Can there be any doubt?

(Extra thanks to analise010 for suggestions and letting me bounce song ideas off of her. Also, if you liked this, you might also want to go here)

That is a charming list. I'd never seen your 80s pick before, either, and it was a Thranduil-suited delight. :)

Party King!

Oh my God! I love your Thranduil party tracks. I even wrote an unposted fanfic about elves in Modern day learning hip hop to keep limber. My family loves dancing to the trashy pop and imagining the Elf King Tranduil as a DJ.

It's one of my faves from...elementary school. Glad you enjoyed it!

Trash pop forever! :)

This brought me a lot of joy this morning.
1. I will now forever have Thranduil swishing his coat in my head when I’m listening to Stayin Alive
2. I now know that Adam and the Ants exist and their music videos are GLORIOUS

This is such a clever idea! I love it. Your song choices! Plus, your commentary was a funny read. *g8

[themusecalliope]

Yay! I'm glad I brought you joy...and Adam Ant :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it. :D
