Why cruisedirector loves me

[annathepiper]

I was just remarking gushily over on russell_daily that I really need an icon to celebrate the convergence of my GBS fandom and my Russell fandom, and cruisedirector promptly produced the following icon, based on the original pic taken by avalonmissy:



Now I need the perfect caption for it, and I must put out the call for help to you fine folks on my Friends list. Extra bonus points go to any caption that invokes TOFOG, solo Russell, or GBS lyrics.

Let's hear your suggestions, folks!

EDIT--3:58pm "She's Goin' Up Tonight" is the winning caption! It does triple duty as a GBS lyric reference (AND a reference to the video as well), a perfect little summation of the boundless exuberance I feel every time I ponder Russell and Alan making music, and as damara wisely pointed out, possible Russell/Alan commentary on my reaction to their making music. ;) Big thanks go out to avalonmissy for letting me use the pic, cruisedirector for making the icon, and damara for proposing the caption!

I like "Heave Away" - part of the "South Australia" shanty's chorus.

"Heave away, haul away
haul way you'll hear me say
We're bound for south Australia".

I hear it sung quite a lot in Newfoundland. (And elsewhere - when Celtae do it, the bassist even plays a didgeridu!)

Haven't I heard that ditty done by the Fables? I think that's on their only album that I don't have yet. :) I really do need to pick it up!

The chorus of this would be perfect, though it's too long for an icon and I'm not sure "heave away" by itself quite evokes that sense of camaraderie and music I think this icon ought to have.

But perhaps "heave away we're bound for south australia"?

:Heave away we're bound for south australia" would be cool, yeah - if it's really long you could put it into a gif.

A banner sort of thing would be cool, indeed. HRmRMRMmm. In my copious free time, perhaps I shall have to indulge this for an overhaul to my journal. ;)

"She's going up!"

[annathepiper]

Hrmm. HRMRmrMRmm. Maybe! Though perhaps "goin' up tonight" is a bit closer to what I want to capture here--I mean, that whole boundless exuberance that is the entire theme of that song is exactly what I get in my little head every time I ponder Russell and Alan making music together. ^_^

*laughs* I think that works. (Though I was really thinking of them watching your glee.)

[annathepiper]

*LAUGH* Yes, that would be appropriate! ;) 'Cause there's the whole "Anna explodes in the sheer presence of Alan and Russell in the exact same place" aspect, too! I hadn't thought of that!

Islanders make me go bouzouki!

[annathepiper]

*giggle!* Good caption! Though I'm not sure this is quite the right pic for it. Maybe something off the My Hand My Heart site would be more evocative of that--since those pics are full of suntanned Alan and Russell in Oz making the album, that'd be more of an island-flavored picture. :)

I think damara's got this one pegged--I'm going to go with "She's Goin Up Tonight"!
