(MIX) Cuphead :: Let Them Eat Cake
Dec. 17th, 2023 12:35 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
peachiesclosetI managed to complete a few Cuphead fanmixes! Alas, I gotten into the fandom past its heyday, which really sucks. But like people say about dead fandoms: "My city now." The first mix I finished is for one of my favorite bosses, Baroness von Bon-Bon. Expect a high dose of personal headcanons and lots of songs about revolution. :D

1. The Scarlet Pimpernel - Madame Guillotine
I know the gutter and I know the stink of the street!
Kicked like a dog, I have spat out the bile of defeat!
All you beauties who towered above me...
You! Who gave me the smack of your rod!
Now I give you the gutter!
I give you the judgement of God!
Vengence victorious! These are the glorious days!
Women of Paris come gather your bloody bouquets!
Now gaze on our goddess of justice, with her shimmering glimmering blade!
As she kisses these traitors, she sings them a last serenade!
Zing! Swing! Savour the sting!
As she severs you! Madame Guillotine!
Slice! Come paradise!
You'll be smitten with, Madame Guillotine!
Introduction to the candy baroness who can literally throw her severed head as a weapon.
2. Halsey - Castle
Sick of all these people talking, sick of all this noise
Tired of all these cameras flashing, sick of being poised
Now my neck is open wide, begging for a fist around it
Already choking on my pride, so there's no use crying about it
I'm headed straight for the castle
They wanna make me their queen
And there's an old man sitting on the throne
That's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean
I'm headed straight for the castle
They've got the kingdom locked up
And there's an old man sitting on the throne
That's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut
Straight for the castle
Baroness von Bon Bon takes her place on the throne.
4. Billie Eilish - you should see me in a crown
You say
Come over baby
I think you're pretty
I'm okay
I'm not your baby
If you think I'm pretty
You should see me in a crown
I'm gonna run this nothing town
Watch me make 'em bow
One by one by, one
One by one by
You should see me in a crown
Your silence is my favorite sound
Watch me make 'em bow
One by one by, one
One by one by (one)
"I won't sugarcoat it... you never stood a chance!"
Baroness von Bon Bon transforms the Candy Kingdom into the strongest empire ever.
5. Lorde - Glory and Gore
Delicate in every way but one (the swordplay)
God knows we like archaic kinds of fun (the old way)
Chance is the only game I play with, baby
We let our battles choose us
And the cry goes out
They lose their minds for us and how it plays out
Now we're in the ring and we're coming for blood
You could try and take us
But we're the gladiators
Everyone a rager
But secretly they're saviors
Glory and gore go hand in hand
That's why we're making headlines
You could try and take us
But victory's contagious
A song for Bon Bon's minions, including her own castle.
6. MARINA - The Family Jewels
Family said that I decided
To live a loveless life
Is it my fault we stay divided
'Cause I've got too much pride?
Pass the parcel, wrap, unwrap
And open up the locks
Out come flying all the secrets
Of Pandora's Box
Oh you think I'm unfit
Little did you know that I was cut for it
No glass slipper will ever fit
'Cause I could never see a diamond in it
Welcome to the family jewels
Coal to diamonds, sold to fools
Welcome to the family jewels
Simmer and suffer, can't keep his cool
I can't keep my cool
I can't keep my cool
Bon Bon got her revenge... now what? Despite her goals of revolution and freeing her kingdom from oppression, she's still a royal who regained a lot of privilege overnight and is haunted by her family's legacy.
7. Regina Spektor - Après Moi
I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice
Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood
Après moi le deluge, after me comes the flood
Февраль. Достать чернил и плакать!
Писать о феврале навзрыд,
Пока грохочущая слякоть
Весною черною горит
((February, pick up your pen and weep!
Write poems about February in sobs and ink,
While thunder booming in the background
Is burning in the black of spring))
Trapped in an endless war to keep the Candy Kingdom from losing power again, Baroness von Bon Bon realizes she has less agency than she thinks.
8. Florence + the Machine - Seven Devils
Holy water cannot help you now
See I've had to burn your kingdom down
And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out
I'm gonna raise the stakes, I'm gonna smoke you out
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in my house
See they were there when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See I was dead when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done
Before the day is done
Baroness von Bon Bon makes a deal with the Devil.
9. Suzanne Vega - The Queen and the Soldier
The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door
He said, "I am not fighting for you anymore"
The queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before
And slowly she let him inside
He said, "I've watched your palace up here on the hill
And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill
But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will
Only first I am asking you why"
A soldier visits Bon Bon, calling her out for her power-hungry ways as of late and that she was no longer the revolutionary leader he once knew. Warning: tissue box required.
10. Lorde - Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own desire
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad we had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
Everybody wants to rule the world
Everybody wants to rule the world
Having officially crossed the Moral Event Horizon, Baroness von Bon Bon grimly accepts her role in the name of survival.
11. Kristofer Maddigan - Sugarland Shimmy
((Instrumental))
Obligatory inclusion of Bon Bon's battle theme from the game! Cuphead and/or Mugman fight her and her minions.
12. Ellie Goulding - Hollow Crown
You know you're fighting in a losing battle
Making a noose out of your hollow crown
I hold a match up to your paper castle
And watch it all burn down, down, down
You know you're fighting in a losing battle
Making a noose out of your hollow crown
I hold a match up to your paper castle
And watch it all burn down, down, down
Down, down, down
Tell me what you see, my dear, my dear
Is there anyone you trust 'round here, 'round here
Keep a knife under your pillow, the sharks and the minnows
Smell blood in the water 'round here, 'round here
And tell me who you're fighting right now, right now
You got everyone against you somehow, somehow
It's become an obsession, look at your reflection
And look who you're becoming right now, right now
I could've been who you trusted
I could've been who you need right now
But you pushed me away, yeah, you lost me
And now you're lost
General call-out of Baroness von Bon Bon for becoming the very tyrants she had overthrown.
13. Aida - I Know the Truth
How did I come to this?
How did I slip and fall?
How did I throw half a lifetime away
Without any thought at all?
This should have been my time
It's over, it never began
I closed my eyes to so much for so long
And I no longer can
I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of shift in a star
But I know the truth and it haunts me
it's flown just a little too far
I know the truth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me
It's flown just a little too far
After losing her contract to the Cup Bros, Bon Bon is hit by the weight of what she's done.
14. Katie Herzig - Viva La Vida
It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh, who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
The candy baroness reflects on her rule and her life.
15. Emilie Autumn - One Foot in Front of the Other
How did I get myself into all of this mess?
How did I end up with this deadly home address?
How did I come to this, where every song I sing
Is nothing but a list of pain and suffering?
We never will forget, and no, we will not forgive
We fought hard not to die, yet we don’t know how to live
How do we change our world to what we want it to be?
How do we move beyond all of this misery?
One foot in front of the other foot
In front of the one foot in front of the other foot
In front of the one foot in front of the other foot
In front of the one foot in front of the other foot
In front of the one foot in front of the other foot
In front of the one foot in front of the other foot
In front of the one…
Baroness von Bon Bon is given a second chance by the Cup Bros. She, her minions, and the rest of her kingdom vow to rebuild, without losing sight of their original goal... it'll be rocky, and there will be setbacks, but they can finally start healing.

3. Emilie Autumn - Time For Tea
There was a little girl, who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead
And when she was good, she was very, very good
But when she was bad, she was homicidal!
Hatchet… Check!
Scalpel… Check!
Rusty steel syringe… Check!
It’s time for war!
It’s time for blood!
It’s time for TEA!
...
We’ve got the tools, we’ve got the time
To punish a most worthy crime against humanity
Somewhere it’s always time for tea
We’ve been trained by the very best
We think you just might be impressed
Eradicate the enemy
Somewhere it’s always time for…
Revenge is a dish that is best served… NOW!
And of course, this means sweet revenge against the previous leaders/oppressors of the Candy Kingdom.
