Vienna Teng's Whatever You Want is my current favorite song ever. We cannot has embedding for the file, but it's totally worth a middle-click.
I love it when people sing about shit that's actually interesting. Revenge, activism, screwing over Le Homme, and of course the timeless question of "Who does the prostitutes' laundry?" Teng rarely disappoints. I'm always thinking "Good god, woman, can you please just write ONE bad lyric sometime so I won't feel like hanging myself from the shower head every time I crank out a half-decent filk song about Mary Sues?

Vienna Teng
God DAMN I love this woman's music.
me and my baby on a february holiday
'cause we got the news
yeah, we got the news
500 miles and we're gonna make it all the way
we've got nothing to lose
we've got nothing to lose
it's been 10 years waiting
but it's better late than the never
we've been told before
we can't wait one minute more
oh, me and my baby driving down
to a hilly seaside town in the rainfall
oh, me and my baby stand in line
you've never seen a sight so fine
as the love that's gonna shine
at city hall
me and my baby've been through
a lot of good and bad
learned to kiss the sky
made our mommas cry
I've seen a lot of friends
after giving it all they had
lay down and die
lay down and die
10 years into it
here's our window
at the vegas drive-thru chapel
it ain't too much
for 'em all to handle
oh, me and my baby driving down
to a hilly seaside town in the rainfall
oh, me and my baby stand in line
you've never seen a sight so fine
as the love that's gonna shine
at city hall
outside, they're handing out
donuts and pizza pies
for the folks in pairs in the folding chairs
my baby's lookin' so damned pretty
with those anxious eyes
rain-speckled hair
and my ring to wear
10 years waiting for this moment of fate
when we say the words and sign our names
if they take it away again someday
this beautiful thing won't change
