Not really sure how this came to be, but it just kind of happened. So I was listening to Pandora when a Miley Cyrus song popped up and I thought 'This is so Jason Todd's theme song!' Then another one of her songs came on and I thought 'Dick Grayson' and so on. So this is all of the guy Robin's theme songs Miley Cyrus style. Enjoy, and let me know if you think they match. Read and Review!
First Up: Dick Grayson
Song: Party in the USA
I hopped off the plane at L.A.X. with a dream and my cardigan
Welcome to the land of fame, excess, whoa! Am I gonna fit in?
Jumped in the cab, here I am for the first time
Look to my right, and I see the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy, everybody seems so famous
My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And the Jay-Z song was on
And the Jay-Z song was on
And the Jay-Z song was on
So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like Yeah!
Movin' my hips like Yeah!
Got my hands up, they're playin' my song
And now I'm gonna be okay
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
Get to the club in my taxi cab
Everybody's lookin' at me now
Like who's that chick that's rockin' kicks
She's gotta be from out of town
So hard with my girls not around me
It's definitely not a Nashville party
'Cause all I see are stilettos
I guess I never got the memo
My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the DJ dropped my favorite tune
And the Britney song was on
And the Britney song was on
And the Britney song was on
So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like Yeah!
Movin' my hips like Yeah!
Got my hands up, they're playin' my song
And now I'm gonna be okay
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
Feel like hoppin' on a flight, on a flight
Back to my hometown tonight, town tonight
Something stops me every time, every time
The DJ plays my song and I feel alright
So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like Yeah!
Movin' my hips like Yeah!
Got my hands up, they're playin' my song
And now I'm gonna be okay
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like Yeah!
Movin' my hips like Yeah!
Got my hands up, they're playin' my song
And now I'm gonna be okay
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
yeah yeah yeah! its a party!
Why?
Well…. Kind of obvious. Richards parents die and then BAM! He gets introduced to the world of paparazzi and the upper-class. That's a big jump for a kid from the circus. To make it worse he has Bruce Wayne as a Guardian, and as his ward he has to uphold certain expectations and handle lots of pressure. Not good for an 8-year old. I'm sure he probably felt like breaking down a lot, but he didn't. He held his own… and not only that he thrived. He became Robin and fought crime alongside Batman, becoming the first partner and creating his own legacy.
Next Birdie: Jason Todd
Song: You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home
You wake up, it's raining and it's Monday
Looks like one of those rough days
Time's up, you're late again so get out the door
Sometimes you feel like running
Find a whole new life and jump in
Let go, get up and hit the dance floor
But when the lights go down it's the ending of the show
And you're feeling like you got nowhere to go
Don't you know?
You can change your hair and you can change your clothes
You can change your mind, that's just the way it goes
You can say goodbye and you can say hello
But you'll always find your way back home
You can change your style, you can change your jeans
You can learn to fly and you can chase your dreams
You can laugh and cry but everybody knows
You'll always find your way back home
Your best friends, your little hometown
Are waiting up wherever you go now
You know that you can always turn around
'Cause this world is big and it's crazy
And this girl is thinking that maybe
This life is what some people dream about
'Cause when I'm feeling down and I am all alone
I've always got a place where I can go
'Cause I know
You can change your hair and you can change your clothes
You can change your mind, that's just the way it goes
You can say goodbye and you can say hello
But you'll always find your way back home
You can change your style, you can change your jeans
You can learn to fly and you can chase your dreams
You can laugh and cry but everybody knows
You'll always find your way back home
Where they know exactly who you are?
Where the real you is the superstar
You know it's never too far away
You can change your hair and you can change your clothes
You can change your mind, that's just the way it goes
You can say goodbye and you can say hello
But you'll always find your way back
You can change your hair and you can change your clothes
You can change your mind, that's just the way it goes
You can say goodbye and you can say hello
But you'll always find your way back home
You can change your style and you can change your jeans
You can learn to fly and you can chase your dreams
You can laugh and cry but everybody knows
You'll always find your way back home
You'll always find your way back home
You'll always find your way back home
You'll always find your way back home
Why:
Again, kind of obvious, though this one had a bit more feels. When Jason dies it's like an eye opener for him. Obviously when he comes back from the dead he decides he is not going to be the same sweet little naïve bird anymore, so he goes and becomes something different by being Red Hood and leaving the Bat-Clan. Of course, as fun as that is for him, he is still going against his family and he is all alone. Jason knows deep down that whenever he needs them or is ready to forgive them he will be accepted back and will find his way back home.
Robin Numero 3: Tim Drake
Song: The Climb
I can almost see it.
That dream I'm dreaming, but
There's a voice inside my head saying
You'll never reach it
Every step I'm takin'
Every move I make
Feels lost with no direction,
My faith is shakin'
But I, I gotta keep tryin'
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down, but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it, but
These are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep goin',
And I, I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, 'cause
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb
Yeah
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb
Yeah, yeah yeah
Keep on movin'
Keep climbin'
Keep the faith baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa, whoa, oh.
Why?
Tim Drake has never lead an easy life, and for just about everyone, he has never been good enough. His parents, though they loved him, wanted him to be better and better, the perfect heir. He becomes Robin after the last one died and has to work with a mourning Batman and get him back into shape as well as prove himself to the grumpy man with incredibly high, almost unreachable standards. The rest of the superhero world looks as him as a ticking time bomb and the villain community looks at him as another chance to anger the Bat further. Not to mention that Tim is more brain then brawn, which is dangerous in Gotham as he is a walking target. Throughout all of that though, Tim knows who he wants to be and he knows how to get there. He knows the climb to get there will be worth it and that when it's over, he will find out that the climb had made him who he wants to be.
Final Robin: Damian Wayne
Song: Nobodies Perfect
Everybody makes mistakes... Everybody has those days... 1 2 3 4!
Everybody makes mistakes... Everybody has those days... Everybody knows what what I'm talkin' 'bout... Everybody gets that way... [x2]
Sometimes I'm in a jam
I've gotta make a plan
It might be crazy
I do it anyway
No way to know for sure
I'll figure out a cure
I'm patchin' up the holes
But then it overflows
If I'm not doin' to well
Why be so hard on my self?
[Chorus]
Nobody's Perfect!
I gotta work it!
Again and again 'til I get it right
Nobody's Perfect!
You live and you learn it!
And if I mess it up sometimes...
Nobody's perfect
Sometimes I work a scheme
But then it flips on me
Doesn't turn out how I planned
get stuck in quick sand
No problem, can be solved
Once I get involved
I try to be delicate
Then crash right into it
My intentions are good
Sometimes just misunderstood
[Chorus]
Nobody's perfect!
I gotta work it!
I know in time I'll find a way
Nobody's perfect!
Sometimes I fix things up
And they fall apart again
Nobody's perfect
I might mix things up
But I always get it right in the end
[Talking]
Next time you feel like... it's just one of those days...
when you just can't seem to win
If things don't turn out the way you plan,
FIGURE SOMETHING ELSE OUT!
Don't stay down! Try again! YEAH!
[Singing (x2)]
Everybody makes mistakes...
everybody has those days...
everybody knows what, what I'm talkin' 'bout...
everybody gets that way
Nobody's Perfect!
I gotta work it!
Again and again 'til I get it right!
Nobody's Perfect!
Ya live and ya learn it!
And if I mess it up sometimes...
Nobody's Perfect!
I gotta work it!
I know in time I'll find a way
Nobody's Perfect.
Ya live and ya learn it!
'Cause everybody makes mistakes
Nobody's Perfect!
Nobody's Perfect! No no! Nobody's Perfect!
Why?
Damian was raised as an assassin, then suddenly he's a vigilante. That's a big jump, which comes with big change. Of course with the change there are lots of differences, and as Damian is not the most adaptable kid, there are lots of mistakes. Damian knows who he wants to be and he is trying to become that. He still messes up now and then, but he knows with practice and time he will become that person. Also, besides for Richard, no-one really understands him. He simply wants to be accepted and do what's right in his father's eyes. Which is really hard. This song represents Damian, and his need to remind his family that nobody's perfect and that he's still learning and that with a few more tries, he will be a hero.
