this is a love song in my own way

[asimplechord]

Part two (of eleventy hundred) of why they make me smile.


First? Ian, who sits in the van with his guitar out, who keeps it in his hands when everyone else is exhausted from shooting videos or whatever. He wants to be Jimmy Page when he grows up.



Because they are so ridiculous that they can't even remember where their stupid tattoo is. Really, Cash got that stupid thirtizzle inked on his pec, and he can't even remember which side it's on. Was he drunk at the time? Or just, you know, being an 18-yr-old doofus? Either way, it's there now. Permanently. Just... on the other pec. (Ian is clearly trying not to laugh at Cash's douchebag behavior. Johnson doesn't want to be in the same frame with it. Marshall has no opinion on this matter. Even Pete thinks it's ridiculous.)


Because they do stupid shit to "stay perky" throughout the day, including making ridiculous faces and dancing like dorks (okay, that might be how Cash normally dances; in which case, yeah, dorks), flashing each other to the rhythm of the song, and giggling like schoolgirls when they get Ian to smile.



I tried to screen cap that moment, but it was blurry. So here, just have a link to the Cabisode. Stay Perky.



Because they (read: Marshall) do things like buy sketchy pianos off eBay, and then break off the wheel when they're trying to load it into their van.


I. The keyboard isn't enough to have to roll around on tour? Really? Especially given the number of times they've had van/trailer issues force them to hop onto tour-mates' buses and do an acoustic set?

Because Singer unironically lists Justin Timberlake and Maroon 5 as early influences. Oh, babies. And then they do things like this, pretending to be Nick and AJ. BABIES.



And even knowing Singer's aims, to do "rock with soul", Johnson still let them steal him from a hardcore band. (I was torn between posting the pic of Johnson with his "BOY" shirt or of him in The Bled merch, and just realized that I had not put them into my Ph'ucket album, so NEITHER gets posted.)

Because Singer fangirled Panic At The Disco from their very first show, and stalked them saw Ryan and Spencer

(w/o the beard or the porno-stache. Oh, those were the days!)



at a Cobra show and just happened to have a copy of The Cab's demo on hand to give them.

Seriously, watch the video to One of Those Nights again - he's totally mooning over Ryan and Brendon.



(He wants to be making Brendon make this face up on stage with them.)
