Holli, it was a shipper's dream. WW challenges Bats about being single, he explains he has issues, she gets turned into a pig by Circe, Bats suddenly is very fond of stroking her, works with Zatanna (who's a bit jealous of WW) to get to Circe, and he sings a torch song before it's all over.
Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

TORCH SONG. It was surreal. Good pipes, though.

Was that the same song that Darla sang for Lorne?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

No kidding. It was days before it showed up last week.

It was "Am I Blue?" written by Grant Clarke and Harry Akst. I don't remember what Darla sang for Lorne. Google doesn't seem to think so.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm not sure what sort of crack, but it's a bit like their offices were hijacked by ficcers. On crack.
It was really weird crack, too.
But he sure does have a nice voice.
Also, they really need to stop butchering Greek mythology. The bit with Medusa really hurt me.
Edit: Didn't Darla sing something about being crazy? I'm pretty sure it wasn't the same song.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
No, that was Fred. I don't remember what Darla sang.

Hmmm, I'm thinking now that I am confusing a "blue" refrain with a "blow" refrain -- was Darla's song a torchy version of something from Shakespeare?
