I confess, despite this not being a confessions post, that I bought the Veronicas CD, "Hook Me Up," at Newbury Comics last week. I couldn't help myself.
On listening to it multiple times -- because this kind of perverse addiction never goes down easily -- I began to play a relational Tetris with their themes. When put in a proper order, the fictional woman singing the songs appears to be going through a relationship.
I re-ordered the songs here for your convenience, with original track numbers and a one- to two-sentence summary for each, using the name Veronica to indicate the fictional woman in a relationship and "you" to indicate her crush/boyfriend/ex.
This may be useful if you ever find yourself with the Veronicas album and want to program it to make sense.
Let me know if you have alternate orders that make more sense to you.
*****
1. Untouched: Veronica soooo wants you.
6. Take Me on the Floor: Veronica’s been waiting all night for you to pay attention to her.
8. Popular: Veronica is so awesome she can hardly stand it.
7. I Don’t Wanna Wait: Veronica wants you; now decide whether you want her or not – quickly!
2. Hook Me Up: Veronica wants to go somewhere far away.
4. This Love: Even if Veronica goes away now, you’ll still be together and in love and everything, don’t worry.
5. I Can’t Stay Away: Veronica shouldn’t be with this other guy, but she can’t help it.
9. Revenge Is Sweeter (Than You Ever Were): You left Veronica for someone else, and now you want to be back with Veronica, but that’s too bad, jerk.
3. This Is How It Feels: So you rejected Veronica, did you? Well, now it’s your turn to be rejected.
11. All I Have: If Veronica had realized you’d be this upset, she wouldn’t have slept with that other guy.
12. In Another Life: Veronica really, really loves you, but she can’t stand being so far away from you any more, so she’s breaking up with you. Maybe next time, buddy.
10. Someone Wake Me Up: You and Veronica broke up; it was a mutual thing, but it still really pains her.
13. Goodbye to You: Bye.
