VIDDER'S NOTE:

This is a Sweet Charity vid, bid on and won by the lovely and talented Kat. Sweet Charity is a fannish charity event held twice a year where creatives across all fandoms offer their talents for auction. Bidders can choose from stories, vids, graphics, jewelry, clothing and so much more. All money raised is donated to a particular charity. If you're interested, you can learn more here.

Kat is a fan of Pros, Starsky & Hutch and The Sentinel. She had a hankering for a Pros vid. She gave me a few different songs to choose from. Together, we decided to go with The Warrior (which happened to be her first choice!). Kat was generous enough to offer me a lot of leeway in terms of content. All she asked was that Doyle be the title character. I decided to embrace the whole 80's pop vibe with, as my beta PRZed called them, Krazy Kredits. Then I tried to have some fun with archetypes. One of the challenges with songs whose lyrics repeat is finding ways to make the repeats interesting. Hopefully, I succeeded.



The Warrior
by Scandal (featuring Patty Smyth)

You run, run, run away.
It's your heart that you betray.
Feeding on your hungry eyes.
I bet you're not so civilized.

Well, isn't love primitive?
A wild gift that you wanna give.
Break out of captivity.
And follow me, you stereo jungle child.
Love is the kill.
Your heart's still wild.

Chorus:
Shootin' at the walls of heartache.
Bang, bang.
I am the warrior.
Well, I am the warrior.
And heart to heart, you'll win if you
survive the warrior, the warrior.

You talk, talk, you talk to me.
Your eyes touch me physically.
Stay with me, we'll take the night
as passion takes another bite.

Who's the hunter and who's the game?
I feel the beat, call your name.
I hold you close in victory.
I don't wanna tame your animal style.
You won't be caged from the call of the wild.

Repeat Chorus

Shootin' at the walls of heartache
(shootin' at the walls of heartache).
The warrior.
I am the warrior.
And heart to heart, you'll win.
Heart to heart, you'll win if you survive
the warrior, the warrior.

Shootin' at the walls of heartache.
Bang, bang.
I am the warrior.
Yes, I am the warrior and victory is mine.
The warrior, the warrior.
