OOC :: CALLING ALL MERRY MURDERESSES/MURDERERS!
I think I'm a little addicted to Cell Block Tango from Chicago. And then I thought...this should be a challenge! People should write things inspired by this!
So this is the Cell Block Tango Challenge!
Basically, pick a verse from the song and write a murder based on it. Obviously since they're murderesses, the preferred would be to stick with that, but since not everyone has a female muse, murderers are a go, too. Unless you just want to be mean to your male muse.
Doesn't matter if your character wouldn't do it, consider this crack. Or find some way to alter them so they would. Most people reading this should be able to think of a way. Or you could just...go with the wrongly accused verse of the song. Whatever is more fun for you.
Oh, and if you want to spread the link around, feel free!
[Verse 1]
You know how people
have these little habits
That get you down. Like Bernie.
Bernie like to chew gum.
No, not chew. POP.
Well, I came home this one day
And I am really irritated, and
looking for a little sympathy
and there'e Bernie layin'
on the couch, drinkin' a beer
and chewin'. No, not chewin'.
Poppin'. So, I said to him,
I said, "Bernie, you pop that
gum one more time..."
and he did.
So I took the shotgun off the wall
and I fired two warning shots...
...into his head.
To be murdered because of annoying habit(s): Dean Winchester, Lois Lane
[Verse 2]
I met Ezekiel Young from
Salt Lake city about two years ago
and he told me he was single
and we hit it off right away.
So, we started living together.
He'd go to work, he'd come home, I'd
mix him a drink, We'd have dinner.
Well, it was like heaven in
two and a half rooms.
And then I found out,
"Single" he told me?
Single, my ass. Not only
was he married
...oh, no, he had six wives.
One of those Mormons, you know. So that
night, when he came home, I mixed him
his drink as usual.
You know, some guys just can't hold
their arsenic.
To be murdered by poisoned drink: Lex Luthor, Lionel Luthor, Oliver Queen, Tess Mercer, Dean Winchester
[Verse 3]
Now, I'm standing in the kitchen
carvin' up the chicken for dinner,
minding my own business,
and in storms my husband Wilbur,
in a jealous rage.
"You been screwin' the milkman,"
he says. He was crazy
and he kept screamin',
"you been screwin the milkman."
And then he ran into my knife.
He ran into my knife ten times!
To be murdered for accusations of infidelity: Clark Kent, Jimmy Olsen, Lana Lang (See, I'm being fair!)
[Verse 4] (text in quotes was translated into English)
"What am I doing here? They say my famous lover held down my husband while I cut off his head. But this isn't true! I am guiltless! I don't know why Uncle Sam thinks I did it. I tried to explain at the police station but they didn't understand me."
Yeah, but did you do it?
UH UH, not guilty!
To be falsely accused of killing significant other with the help of their lover: Lana Lang, Jimmy Olsen, Sam Winchester (I'm totally going to hell for that one.)
[Verse 5]
My sister, Veronica and
I did this double act
and my husband, Charlie,
used to travel round with us.
Now, for the last number in
our act, we did these 20 acrobatic
four,five...splits, spread eagles,
back flips,flip flops,
one right after the other.
Well, this one night we were in Cicero,
the three of us, sittin' up
in a hotel room, boozin' and
havin' a few laughs and
we ran out of ice.
So I went out to get some.
I come back, open the door
and there's Veronica and
Charlie doing Number Seventeen-
the spread eagle.
Well, I was in such a state of shock,
I completely blacked out.I can't remember a thing.
It wasn't until later,
when I was washing the blood off my hands
I even knew they were dead.
Family/pseudo-family to be murdering the other over a love interest/significant other: Chloe Sullivan & Lois Lane, Chloe Sullivan & Lana Lang, Lois & Lucy Lane, Clark Kent & Bart Allen, Clark Kent & Oliver Queen, Dean & Sam Winchester (Once again, totally going to hell for it.)
[Verse 6]
I loved Alvin Lipschitz
more than I can possibly say.
He was a real artistic guy...
sensitive... a painter.
But he was troubled.
He was always trying
to find himself.
He'd go out every night
looking for himself
and on the way
he found Ruth,
Gladys,
Rosemary and Irving.
I guess you can say we broke
up because or artistic differences.
He saw himself as alive
and I saw him dead.
To be murdered for being...well...slutty: Dean Winchester. He's really the only one I can safely name. Or at least the only one I can think of that I can safely name.

With that said, I'd have to go with Verse 5.

That'd be fun.
