008. barnabus swarles barkley : fanmix
I've got a little confession to make. I'm entirely smitten with Barney on How I Met Your Mother. He's such an ass, he probably has a dozen different diseases, and while he cares about little more than money and sex, he deeply cares for his friends. He's fastidiously loyal, and every once in a while he does something really sweet.
Not to mention that he wears a suit. Girls love guys in suits. True story.
So, in honor of the fantastic season (hopefully!) finale, I bring about another fanmix depicting why I actually like this guy.
As Barney would hate indie music (despite them encouraging competition between bands and enhancing the economy), this one is a little (little!) more mainstream, and it's about half the length of my Doctor/Rose mix. Surprise, surprise, it's difficult to find songs about meaningless sex, commitment phobias, being awesome, gambling addictions and not knowing who your dad is.
Oh! This mix is a lot more upbeat than the first, so I'd say...it's a good afternoon mix. Something to listen to when you need to get pumped up for doing homework : )
1. Sexx Laws
by Beck
I want to defy/The logic of all sex laws
Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists
I'll let you be my chaperone
Barney loves sex. All kinds. S & M? Even better.
2. Let's Talk About Spaceships
by Say Hi To Your Mom
Let’s talk about spaceships
or anything except you and me, okay?
He can't deal with any real emotions, or any sort of commitment.
3. Money Song
by Monty Python
There is nothing quite as wonderful as money
there is nothing quite as beautiful as cash
some people say it’s folly/but I’d rather have the lolly
with money you can make a splash
Barney also loves money and capitalism.
4. This Charming Man
by Stars
This charming man/why ponder life’s complexities
when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat?
He is charming. How else does he get the girls?
5. Not Myself
by John Mayer
Would you want me when I’m not myself
wait it out while I am someone else
Okay, so this is my Barney/Robin shipper song (I'm bad! I know!)
But, we all know this awesome is just a phase. One day he'll grow out of it.
I just needed one emotional!Barney song, and then we'll get back to awesome!Barney
6. More Than Words
by Extreme
All you have to do is close your eyes
and just reach out your hands and touch me
hold me close don’t ever let me go
more than words is all I ever needed you to show
Barney doesn't like the "L" bomb. He likes being touched.
7. I'm Not Sorry
by Morrissey
The woman of my dreams/she never came along
the woman of my dreams/well there never was one
and I’m not sorry/for all the things I’ve said
He doesn't apologize because apologizing isn't awesome.
8. You're So Damn Hot
by Ok Go
You don’t love me at all
but don’t think that it bothers me at all
you’re a bad-hearted boy-trap, baby doll but you’re
you’re so damn hot.
Hottness and cheating? Eh. As long as she's hot.
9. Not Addicted
by The Streets
It’s his lucky day, that was barmy
he didn’t tick the box on the slip/and what a relief
he’s not addicted/he can stop anytime
but next time he will be more lucky
What? No. It's not a problem if you're awesome at it.
10. A-W-E-S-O-M-E
by Reel Big Fish
O ya!/Alright/Awesome/So awesome
So, this is either something Barney would say to a girl
he wants to sleep with, or something I'd say to him.
Take your pick.
11. No Emotion
by Idlewild
So speak no louder than a whisper
when we’re running from winter
so speak no louder than a song
when we’re falling all day, falling all day long
and whatever we say you show no emotion.
Showing emotion shows weakness, and he really can't do that right now.
So, it's two non-awesome!Barney songs. Wanna make something of it?
He's a complicated character. I have to show all sides.
12. Suffragette City
by David Bowie
Wham! Bam! Thank You Ma'am!
Another song about sex. He does love it so.
13. On A Plain
by Nirvana
I love myself better than you/I know it’s wrong so what should I do?
He does know he should change,
but he's not sure how to do it and he's not ready.
14. Baby, You're A Rich Man
by The Beatles
How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people
now that you know who you are
So this is a totally sarcastic song,
but it's still perfectly fitting for Barney.

Enjoy the awesomeness of Barney! Comments would be wonderful. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside <3
