Artist's Comments

This is a pic I did for the conteXtual Chords contest at :iconevo-obsessed-club:. We basically have to draw any X-Men Evolution character(s) with song lyrics of our choice describing the character/scene.
I chose the classic hit song "Possum Kingdom" by my favorite post-grunge band, Toadies. (Yes, I own the CD, and play it lots on Guitar Hero II. ^^;) I managed to fit the WHOLE SONG, too! THE ENTIRE SONG!!! :D
This song is absolutely the most Tonda-ish song of all, becuase...
1) It's done by 'Toadies (and the singer is "Todd Lewis"...TODD! xD),
2) It sounds so much like our dear Toad (what with the obsessive lyrics),
3) It's nothing too fancy. If anything, it's a song on the more edgy/dark side, which is obviously very Tonda. :D In case you can't read the lyrics above, (and I wouldn't blame ya,) here they be:

"Make up your mind
Decide to walk with me
Around the lake tonight
Around the lake tonight
By my side
By my side
I'm not gonna lie
I'll not be a gentleman
Behind the boathouse
I'll show you my dark secret

I'm not gonna lie
I want you for mine
My blushing bride
My lover, be my lover, yeah...

Don't be afraid
I didn't mean to scare you
So help me, Jesus

I can promise you
You'll stay as beautiful
With dark hair
And soft skin...forever
Forever

Make up your mind
Make up your mind
And I'll promise you
I will treat you well,
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus

Give it up to me
Give it up to me
Do you wanna be
My angel?
So help me...

...Be my angel...
...Be my angel...
Do you wanna die? (x7)
I promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus

Jesus
Jesus
Jesus..."

w00t. Oh, and the text kinda turned out splochy when I inked it. I kinda like it that way, though. It fits the mood. MUCH easier to read on paper, though. T_T *FAIL*

EDIT: Since a few of you have asked me about it, listen to the song yourself here: [link] ;)

I never realized that those were the lyrics to that song. I hear it on the radio all the time, and half way through reading them I realized what it was! (between the "So help me Jesus" and the "Do you want to Die" )
Great song pick, great image, great everything. It shows Todd's obsession and love for Wanda! (:
(So appropriate that the band is acalled the "toadies" !)

:highfive:

Thanks! :D And yes! Such a good song! I hear it on the radio all the time, too. Another one of their song, "Tyler", also kinda reminds me of Toad...it's even more on the obsessive side than this one, believe it or not. xD lol

You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do if I caught one. I just *do* things.

*songs. 'Another one of their songs'. Not 'song'. Man, would it kill me to write a reply without a typo for once?! Sheesh! XD

hey, its all good! I make typos all the time. Too bad DA doesn't let us edit our own comments. That would be too easy!

I'll have to keep my ears open for "Tyler." (:

;) Yes! You definitely should! :D

Yes. If we could edit our comments...maybe I'd sound like I knew what I was talking about for once. xD
