Here's a 30 Rock / Liz Lemon mix I made. (It's my first non-Who one!) It's a somewhat random blend of 80's cheesiness and bouncy indie. It was kind of tough finding songs to fit (at least in my music library. Most of it's pretty twee and not very aggressive. Lemon's hardcore.) But I managed to stick with her more whimsical side. Enjoy and bow down to your nerd queen.

I kinda have no explanations this time, except for some visuals, and even those have tenuous connections to the lyrics at best. Most of the awesome GIFs are by myprettycabinet, but I'm not sure if all of them are hers (the stills are by me). If you see one of yours, let me know, because I'd love to credit you. ♥

Lyrics and visual "explanations":




01. Jukebox the Ghost - Good Day

I think that I would like to invite everyone I've known dead or alive
To a street where we can be, totally free
They will come in droves, wearing their hearts on their sleeve but oh!
How good it felt to have them worn just like they should.
Did everybody say what a good day that it was?

02. Lisa Mitchell - Neopolitan Dreams

I like the way that you talk, I like the way that you walk
It's hard to recreate such an individual gait...
Deepest of the dark nights, here lies the highest of highs
Neopolitan dreams, stretching out to the sea
You wait your turn in the queue
You say your sorry's and thank you's
I don't think you're ever 100% in the room
You're not in the room

An executive is like THIS, Liz Lemon's like THIS.

03. Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want To Have Fun

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
That's all they really want, some fun

Hey Liz. How's the telescope?
I don't know Kelsey, how's your mom's pill addiction?

04. Tilly and the Wall - Pot Kettle Black

I bet you think we didn’t know, didn’t even see the tides change
But it’s a small, small world, girl, getting even smaller every day...
The trash washes up to shore, even in this landlocked place
The shit gets thicker, it’s toxic get it out my face...
Pot kettle, pot kettle black, talk that, talk that smack
Pot kettle, pot kettle black, watch your, watch your back

05. El Perro Del Mar - Party

Is it so hard to see?
I don't want to cause more trouble
I just want to be a part of you
Come on over baby, there's a party going on
Bebop bebop a loo la

I can have it all!

06. Billy Joel - Vienna

Slow down you crazy child, you're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart tell me why are you still so afraid?
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only so many hours in a day
But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want, or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
When will you realize Vienna waits for you...
You got your passion you got your pride
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?

Where's my mac and cheese!?

07. Dawn Landes - I Won't Back Down

In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
I'm gonna stand my ground and I won't back down
I won't back down baby, there ain't no easy way out
I will stand my ground and I won't back down

08. Rufus Wainwright - April Fools

And you will believe in love
And all that its supposed to be
But just until the fish start to smell
And you're struck down by a hammer
So let it all go by looking at the sky
Wondering if there are clouds and stuff in hell

Lemon, OUT!

09. Ben Kweller - Lizzy

Her feline past lives are plain to see
Their similarities are shown in this life again...
Like mamma said, don'tcha let it go to your head
When you know your book is read...
Lizzy I'll write, I'll sing telegraph, telegram, telephone
Tellin' you I'll be home soon

10. Huey Lewis & the News - Hip To Be a Square

I like my bands in business suits, I watch them on TV
I'm working out 'most everyday and watching what I eat
They tell me that it's good for me, but I don't even care
I know that it's crazy
I know that it's nowhere
But there is no denying that
It's hip to be square

One minute dance party!

11. Dent May - You Can't Force a Dance Party

And I'll be in the corner, reading poetry and prose
You can't force a dance party, you can't force a dance party
You can't force a dance party, but for you I'll try
