Lyrics:
And I came here to make you dance tonight

I don’t care about my guilty pleasure for you

And I don’t even know what kind of fool you’re taking me for

so you got some brand new clothes you never could afford before

oh brother spare us all

we don’t care anymore

we just wanna get down on the floor

you sell yourself to make it

you can dish it but can you really take it

You never gonna get it with nothing

‘coz nothings what you got in your head

so stop pretending

(chorus) I came here to make you dance tonight

I don’t care about my guilty pleasure for you

shut up cos we wont stop

we’re getting down till the suns coming up

I came here to make you dance tonight

I don’t care about my guilty pleasure for you

shut up cos we wont stop

we’re getting down till the suns coming up

And I don’t even read what the papers gotta say about me

Oh no, I can’t believe they’d take it so serious, seriously

I’m so bored, please, don’t talk anymore

shut your mouth and get down on the floor

so cynical, baby, I can dish it cos I know how to take it

you’re never gonna win ‘em all

so f@#k ‘em if they can’t take a joke

I’m just playing

(chorus)

And maybe someday I’ll believe

Maybe someday I’ll believe

That we are all a part of some bigger plan

Tonight I just don’t give a damn

So shut your mouth it’s time to dance

If the world is ending, I’m throwing the party

(chorus)

OMG my first ever vid!

So many thanks to sol_se who received MANY emails of squee and frustration. You ROCK! She is such an excellent beta who gives wonderful advice, encouragement, and suggestions. Then, I could not have done it without my cheerleader, lurkmuch. Her lovely happy emails inspired and motivated my ass. Also, sadiane, who had to put up with a lot of whining... and reviewing it after every 10-20 seconds of progress... and tech support. O_o

I totally had a blast! I hope to make another soon. :D

Feedback and comments are very welcome.

This was your first vid? OMG, I would never have guessed if you hadn't mentioned it! I loved it, and I thought the song choice was great. Good job!

[me-maneuver.livejournal.com]

Yeah! It's a first attempt! I'm so glad you liked it!

I think the song is a perfect fit, too. :D

[aerintine.livejournal.com]

If this is your first vid then I can't wait to see what you come up with in the future. This was just wonderful!

Eeeee! Thank you so much!!! :D

I'm totally in the process of making another... it's fun times!

*smishes you*

[thisficklemob.livejournal.com]

That was really well done. I especially liked Buffy kicking the Bronze's door in to "shut up."

[me-maneuver.livejournal.com]

Why thank you! It's so fun to synch up that stuff. :)

[lurkmuch.livejournal.com]

W00t! You posted it!! I think I mentioned before how much I love this...BUT I LOVE IT KIND OF A LOT. You rock, lady!

[me-maneuver.livejournal.com]

Eeeeee! You are so awesome! I <3 my cheerleader! :D

[pennyplainknits.livejournal.com]

Awesome cake with awesome frosting!

I love it hon- especially how you intercut the buffy/spike kiss with her working out :D

[me-maneuver.livejournal.com]

Awesome times!

I'm so glad you liked it! I've had so much fun flailing about at these programs! So much JOY! :)

YOUR AWESOMENESS CANNOT BE TEXTUALLY RENDERED.

Eye packman consumes three ewe, dollface.

(I have ZERO Jossverse icons, so you get William Beckett and a totally random display of hat-related enthusiasm. Deal with it.)

[me-maneuver.livejournal.com]

textually rendered, my ass... :P

I <3 U, too!!!!

You have no jossverse icons AT ALL! Do I even know you anymore?

Awesome!

[sol-se.livejournal.com]

Yay, you posted it!! I love this video so much. It makes me happy and bounce around in my chair. And welcome to the Vidding Obsession that eats all your free time! You are dooooooomed. hee. :D

Seriously though, awesome first video. <3

Re: Awesome!

[me-maneuver.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE MY HERO!!! :D

Thank you so, so, SO much for all your help! I couldn't do it without you!

You are such a sweetie... :) *g*

[not-sally.livejournal.com]

Have to love Cobra, and it goes great with Buffy.
Loved it all.

[me-maneuver.livejournal.com]

Eee! Thanks! Cobra + Buffy = perfection!

[fuzzylilkisses.livejournal.com]

Such a well made video! This is your first? It gives me hope about my first vid (im in the middle of it..)!!

I love the flow that it has....great clip choices! :D

[me-maneuver.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Good luck on your first vid! They can be so frustrating. Fun, but frustrating. :)

Thank you, honey!

[phnelt.livejournal.com]

Ok, I haven't watched this yet because my internet is having the troubles (possibly we are being physically siphoned by people with wire cutters,) but I wanted to say:

omg I am so excited about this!

!!1!

[me-maneuver.livejournal.com]

Eeeee! Thank you! I'm super excited to have actually made one!

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

This was fun! I downloaded it to keep.

[me-maneuver.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! :D

I'm glad you liked it! \o/

[shinealightonme]

This is AMAZING!

[me-maneuver.livejournal.com]

Why thank you! :D

[noxika.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding me?!

Man that was brilliant! I especially loved the way you cut Buffy doing her super acrobatics with everyone joining hands. That kinda gave me chills. Also, the ass kicking in the end was perfect beat use. Whee! <3 it.

TL;DR: I wish that my first vid was this amazing. ♥

[me-maneuver.livejournal.com]

Eeeee! This was so much fun to make! Seriously, I do really want to make another, but my computer program started to hate me and was being really slow and kept randomly crashing. D: Not buddies.

In any case, I love this vid so much because it honestly think it is the perfect song for that episode. It didn't turn out like I thought, but I'm glad it ended up like this.

Ha. You're funny. I love your vids so much!
