Mix - Fake News: Red Versus Blue

[ptahrrific]

Fandom: The Colbert Report
Title: Red Versus Blue
Warnings: Um, sex?

Take a man with heavily repressed doubts, fears, shame, self-loathing, and of course homosexual urges, and put him face to face with himself, and what do you get? Well, onscreen, heated angry shouting. Offscreen, my money's on hot angry sex.

I confess heavy inspiration from shishu1025's "100 Times Stephen Fell In Love With Himself" series, over at fakenews_fanfic.

1) Ichiko Hashimoto - the other stranger
How did there come to be two Stephens? Cloning, magic, a trick with mirrors? We're not really sure.

[Instrumental.]


2) The Magnetic Fields - I Wish I Had An Evil Twin
It gets tiring, being a good person all the time.

My evil twin would lie and steal
And he would stink of sex appeal
All men would writhe
Beneath his scythe
He’d send the pretty ones to me
And they would think that I was he
I’d hurt them and I’d go scot free

I’d get no blame and feel no shame
’Cause evil’s not my cup of tea

Down and down we go
How low one would not need to know
All my life there should have been
An evil twin


3) They Might Be Giants - Lazyhead and Sleepybones
The opponent contradicts Stephen on everything. Sometimes it's just a matter of principle.

Lazyhead and Sleepybones
Always disagree
Though everybody says they should be friends
They're too tired to see

When Sleepybones says he's feeling tired
Lazyhead wants to rest
When Lazyhead says it's "number one"
Sleepybones says it's "best"

When Lazyhead uses imagination
Sleepybones daydreams
Sleepybones says "it's not what it looks like"
And Lazyhead says "it's not what it seems"


4) Anggun - Mes Désirs Contraires
For Stephen, who is full of internal contradictions, it's a blessed relief.

Comme une bague sans doigt
Un air de violon sans mélodie
Un royaume sans roi
Une opinion sans avis
Comme une rose de la boue je laisse le temps me faire
Courir de partout vers mes désirs contraires

Like a ring without a finger
A violin song without a melody
A kingdom without a king
An opinion without belief
I let time make me rise like a rose from the mud
And run from everywhere towards my contrary desires


5) LeAnn Rimes - The Right Kind Of Wrong
It's obsessive, it's dark, it's needy, but when one of them says that they shouldn't do this, the other one immediately disagrees.

You walk in and my strength walks out the door
Say my name and I can't fight it anymore
Oh I know I should go
But I need your touch just too damn much
Loving you
Isn't really something I should do
Shouldn't wanna spend my time with you
Well, I should try to be strong
But baby you're the right kind of wrong


6) The Cars - Just What I Needed
He needs someone to care for, and he needs someone to hurt, and he finds them both in himself.

I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time
'Cause when you're standing oh so near
I kinda lose my mind...

I guess you're just what I needed
I needed someone to feed
I guess guess you're just what I needed
I needed someone to bleed


7) The Rasmus - The One I Love
The hurt outstrips the caring.

The one I love
Is striking me down on my knees
The one I love
Drowning me in my dreams
The one I love
Over and over again
Dragging me under


8) RENT - Take Me Or Leave Me
The breakup. (Lyrics have been tweaked just a bit.)

BOTH
That's it!

STEPHEN
The straw that breaks my back

BOTH
I quit

STEPHEN
Unless you take it back!

BOTH
Stephen!

STEPHEN
What is it about him?

BOTH
Can't live
With him or without him!

Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me, baby, or leave me!


9) Dave Mason - We Just Disagree
They don't have to agree, but in the end they can make peace.

So let's leave it alone
'Cause we can't see eye to eye
There ain't no good guys
There ain't no bad guys
There's only you and me and we just disagree

Hello, I was wondering if you still had this available for download? If not, that's okay. I saw how they taped the Formidable Opponent segment this past June, so this mix is doubly awesome for me!
