Description This is an unusual deviation for me; a Drakken/Shego picture.

Although D/S does have support in canon, I have some doubts. To me, Drakken just seems too silly to appeal to Shego. Perhaps the man has hidden depths.

Like can be seen here.

Firstly, Dr. D. turns out to be good at both singing and playing the guitar. Surprising, I know.

Secondly, his choice of repertoire – he is doing a bluesy song by, of all possible bands, the old prog rock veterans Jethro Tull: “Sleeping with the Dog”.

Thirdly, “Sleeping with the Dog” doesn’t really feature acoustic guitars in any prominent way. Presumably, he has made a really good un-plugged version.

The text of the song, though, is perfect for describing his relationship with his temperamental side-kick and partner. At least in Drakken’s opinion, and in mine. What do you think?

Her love is like a candle: you light it up at night.
Her heart is like a pack of cards: one chance to guess it right.
Sometimes I do.

She's got a tongue like a viper, but she can whisper like a dove.
Soft touch like brushed velvet: till she hits you from above.
And sometimes she does.

She leaves me breathing: down like a fallen log.
Just when I feel like dancing, I wake up sleeping with the dog.
And it goes: (woof) sleeping with the dog.

I have to guess at the mysteries of her unfathomable soul.
Guess when the time seems right to make a broken spirit whole
and that time is due. C'm'on.

She leaves me breathing: down like a fallen log
and just when I feel like dancing, I wake up sleeping with the dog.
And it goes: (woof) sleeping with the dog.

Well, one thing is clear: Shego does not appreciate his choice of song. Perhaps the lyrics hit too close to home.

Drew Theodore J. Lipsky and Shego (real name not known) are © Disney, and created by Schooley and McCorcle.

“Sleeping with the Dog” is by Ian Anderson, performed and recorded by Jethro Tull, and © by Chrysalis records.

You can listen to it at Youtube, search for Tull Sleeping Dog and you’ll get it.

BTW, when you speak Blues, there's one song and one song ONLY that you must know!

Yeah, that sure is a classic. I'll also find room for the more New Orleans style bluse, like the Saint James Infirmery, or the like...

In my opinion, Blues is much like Country. It's all good, as long as the subject matter is about a no-good girlfriend, trains, hardcore drug usage, crime, your pickup truck, or just generally "Keepin' It Real". In general, the sleazier, the better. The worst thing that ever happened to Country was to get Love involved. My general rule of thumb is to get several, as in 10 or 15, beers in your system, listen to it, and see if it gets you totally stoked. If it does, if you end up screaming "That's my homeboy!!", then it's proper Blues/Country.

Well, with everything that goes by the lable 'country', I've probably never given the real thing a chance...

A few of my favorites are Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried" and Loretta Lynn's "Honkytonk Girl".

Thanks! It's mostly due to going wild with strange brush shapes in PhotoShop...

Bet she's more pissed off for being an unplugged a capella version than for the lyric itself. Yeah, it's the right song for Dr. D. to sing. Don't complain, Dr. D.: it's all we have...

I usually don't mine the pair,2 people like them together might make for a fun comedy.

I like them both, and I like their interactions, but I need some convincing about their romantic compatability....

yeah, I'll never pull for D/S... Drakken is just a manchild, and Shego would barbecue him if he ever went for more than a hug, assuming he even knew how to go for more than a hug *shakes my head*

still, good art and characterization
