Total Drama Music Camp AU - playlist / performance ideas

here she is,,,, the cursed secret texts,,,,, the total drama music camp playlist , along with some short explanations below, cringe city bitch (most of these are just covers that i feel are the closest to the performance Style id imagine for these characters and not necessarily the exact sound but u feel me) also i went back and tagged my previous posts abt this concept with “td music camp au” so if you dont know what the helling fuck im talking abt plz have a gander xoxo

link: youtube .com/playlist?list=PL-bPcaq3ZK2L682RHPauxrsFIPvGJdsiM (space is there so tumblr hopefully doesnt nerf me from the tag 🥺 )

Some Nights - ok so first weeks challenge. i feel like chris would just want them to all collab together on one huge group performance. kinda like on the first day of school when they make you do the ‘get to know you’ tests. idk exactly who would sing what parts tho bc there are so many so let your imagination run wild !!

Hand crushed by a mallet - ok. OKYAY. im a home of sexual. but this is a Cody, Trent, Tyler, Harold and Izzy song. Cody is on vocals (especially the rap in this version shdofsgjsk), Trent is on guitar and some vocals (does some back and forth with him during the rap), Tyler is on drums (and does that one tiny background screamy bit towards the end), Izzy and Harold are joined up on creating the background track and DJing the whole thing. the distortion/choppy part at the end is izzy LIVE going ape on the audio level sliders. its one of the most energetic performances of the whole series and surprises everyone including the group themselves

Misery Business - Duncan on vocals and guitar, Geoff on drums, Trent also on guitar and maybe some backup vocals. you all know i chose that bc i love associating mgk with duncan but. i rly like this idea actually ;;

Paparazzi - ezekiel. idk who the fuck else except maybe justin bc he’d dance that shit to death. i will not apologize thats Him and its fire but you may write and send any formal complaints to my po box. ill roll a blunt with them,

Pom Pom - Lindsay, Heather, Sadie+Katie, and Izzy. Lindsay and Heather are on vocals, sharing the chorus and each getting a solo verse, and ofc izzy does the weird rap part towards the end, and most of the background track. they all thought they were stuck with izzy but izzy is stuck with these preps. Sadie and Katie are on backup vocals, but their role in this one is mostly dancing and adding ✨ stage presence.

Maps - Trent is on the guitar and male vocals while Courtney is on the female vocals (the ~top two performers~ gotta have a song together eventually right), DJ on drums, Bridgette on piano. Heather, Lindsay, Justin, and Leshawna are dancers bc lbr the dance from the video is pretty good for a group number

CREEPER? AW MAN - ok this one. is kind of a joke but wouldnt it be rly hilarious if cody, ezekiel, and harold did this one mostly for fun and the whole second part with the existential breakdown was just. used with on stage satire to make fun of chris for being old or smth. like would they suffer that week, yes, would it be worth it, Y E S,

Shatter me - Eva, Courtney, Gwen, Beth. QwQ Eva’s on vocals for the first time and rocks it, Courtney is on violin, Gwen on drums, and Beth uses her instruments to make a background track before the performance so she can do stage tech/DJ stuff. oh also justin should be on this one bc i want. those costumes from t he vi deo,

Chop suey - Lindsay and Courtney on vocals (LMAOSJFkSF listen. we love contrast queens that stun the crowd), Duncan on guitar, Eva on drums (and a lot of background screaming to help the Vibe Tee Em)

Unwritten - Leshawna and Trent? ik its a weird combo but i think they’d kill this

Shake it - GEOFF LMFAOGHJKgjfdG

White Winter Hymnal - Lindsay as Kirstie, Noah probably as Avi even tho we all know he can’t sing that fuckgin low. and idk my other 3 bros as Cody, Tyler and Ezekiel. truly iconique group

Forget me too - QWQ DUNCAN AND COURTNEY ,,,,,,,,,,,, i dont apoloigze for the second mgk = duncan pick, anyways duncans also on guitar, gwen on drums (there is no love triangle in this au btw. the only reason theyre singing this song is bc of the regular ~tension~ that u see in like tdi but its just for the stage mostly. as soon as the songs over they would hug and cheer abt it)

Simple and Clean - Bridgette on singing, Gwen on piano, DJ on drums, Beth on general stage stuff + creates the backtrack with Bridgette's harmonies overlayed

Mr. Brightside - OWEN ON THE BRASS YES BBY ITS HIS TIME 2 FUCKIENG SHINE, Geoff on drums, Gwen begrudgingly on piano, Noah is on vocals and they have to literally bribe him with everything they HAVE to get him to try and sing this way. and he does it and it aint too shabby but he will never do it again

Domino - Leshawna on vocals (again these choices are all, based on general vibe and style and not necessarily voice, this is a tiny white girl singing,), Tyler on drums, Duncan on guitar. energy to the max babey the speakers are gonna blow the fuck out on this one

Starships - KATIE AND SADIE GET TO BE A MAIN DUO !!! they alternate lines , with courtney on violin, izzy on that synthy backtrack, and justin is involved in this one bc id change just a couple of things abt the music video costumes for these characters but like. [grabby hands] gimme

Bulletproof - ezekiel vibes.....? izzy and harold get to team up again for the backtrack. weird kids only karaoke night

The Wolves And The Ravens - 🥺 a geoff and bridgette songk,,,,,

Never Enough Praying (Mashup) - Courtney on Praying, Heather on Never Enough, Beth and Izzy end up together on the background stuff and make a rly nice track actually

Gasoline - bitch. you know what im gonna say but duncans on vocals, Tyler on guitar, Geoff on drums, Ezekiels on track

Better not wake the baby - Noah gets to sing a song that actually matches his style a tiny bit better lol, DJ on drums, Trent on guitar, and i feel like beth is the only one with any hope of figuring out the accordion keyboard thing thats in the background

This is Gospel - Gwen on piano and Trent on vocals. really the music video is the most important part for me bc i think a challenge where oyu have to sing a really intense emotional song while chris gets to dump shit down on your head from the ceiling of the stage. sounds perfect,

Wildest Dreams - codys on vocals bc god i am Obsessed with this cover being a bisexuality / coming out song . everybody thinks hes just regular simping and being his usual fuccboi self when he chooses this song till he gets to those Very Intentionally Unchanged Pronouns that he sings a little too enthusiastically hhhshHDSHHHSDH , also DJ on drums and Tyler on guitar

Happier - Bridgette solo !

Stay - Courtney on guitar and vocals, Dj and Harold are on the hand drum shit. once again i live for the ‘unlikely group actually works together and rocks it’ stuff. courtney as always has talent and enjoys what she does but harold and dj kind of steal the show with how in sync and energetic they are abt it lmfaodghd

Garden Party

“If I tell you how nice you look, could you rescue me from someone?”

Ellie gave Anthony a sidelong look over her glass. “Depends.”

He stared out over the garden veranda in uncomfortable fear. “Beth Caldwell.”

Oh, her.

Ellie put her drink down with a look of disgust, and not from the sour lemonade in it. “You don’t even need to ask.”

“Oh thank you. She’s- Ellie, hide me!” Anthony ducked down behind her as best he could, considering he was a whole head taller than her.

Ellie feigned interest in the table of snacks and ignored Beth. Anthony crawled under the tablecloth.

That’s not going to end well.

She had the sudden image in her mind of Anthony spending the rest of his life down there, refusing to come out and surviving off fancy pastries and sour lemonade, spying on everyone from under the table and her being the only one who knew where he was.

“Ellie! Oh, Ellie Temple!” A woman cloaked in heavy perfume and rose pink taffeta linked her arm through hers. “I’ve been dying to speak to you. Did you see Lord Chipson dancing with Lady Hine? Absolutely atrocious. That man shouldn’t be allowed to drink in public.”

The tablecloth hissed in outrage.

“Isn’t this a private garden party?”

Beth waved her hands as of to shoo away Ellie’s words. “You know what I meant. In the public eye of society.” She leaned in to stage whisper. “Speaking of eyes, I’ve had my eye out for Anthony Chipson. The footmen say he arrived with his uncle, but I haven’t seen him.” She peered at Ellie, eyes huge and blinking innocently.

Ellie stared back in vague concern.

“Well?” Beth prompted.

“Well what?”

“Aren’t you going to offer to help me look for him?”

“I could-“

Beth dragged her away from the refreshment table, leaving a trail of heavy perfume in their wake. “Oh, thank you, thank you! I get so nervous around him, and oh, couldn’t you just stare at that face forever? So many freckles and such a handsome nose…”

Ellie toned her out as she caught sight of Beth’s cousin.

He was leaning against the base of a horse topiary, waistcoat unbuttoned and cravat loosened, the breeze teasing his hair.

It looked like he’d walked out of one of Mrs. Temple’s perfect oil paintings.

Duncan Caldwell caught her look and winked.

“Ellie…. Oh, Ellie, ew, no.”

“Hm?” She turned back to Beth and frowned at her sneer. “What?”

“Not you too. Every girl at court fawns over him. Trust me, if you’ve lived with him, you wouldn’t... don’t fancy Duncan.” Beth pulled her into the rose garden, craning her neck and looking for Anthony.

Ellie scoffed. “You fancied my uncle Jacob for a turn. And I gave you the same advice. I lived with him, I told you not to like him that way.”

“That was a passing girlish infatuation,” Beth said loftily. “I am above such things now. Do you think Anthony likes water lilies?”

“I-” Ellie didn’t bother protesting as she was marched down the stone steps towards the Caldwell’s pond.

Few people were milling about, mostly couples stealing kisses under parasols or sneaking through the hedges to find somewhere more private.

Beth herself paid them no attention as she stalked around the pond with Ellie in tow. “He has to be here somewhere, he has to be!” She stopped and Ellie almost walked into her back. “Is that him?” she whispered.

Ellie followed her gaze to a lone figure sitting under a willow tree.

It was definitely not Anthony. In fact, it some was someone that despised Beth nearly as much as Anthony himself, but for very different reasons.

“I think so,” Ellie lied.

“How do I look?” Beth fluffed her skirts and adjusted her hat. “I can’t smell my perfume. Do I need more? And my lipstick? Oh, I knew I should have brought a bigger bag.” She fished a tiny bottle of perfume from her purse and dabbed it onto her neck. “Oh, Ellie, I’m so nervous!” Beth puckered her lips and patted on a liberal amount of vibrant pink balm. “Better? Better. Wish me luck!”

Ellie closed her mouth and ran after Beth. “If you go alone, he’ll know you sought him out.”

“Exactly. He has to know that I’m interested in him. Shoo.” Beth took a deep breath. “If you must spy on me, then do so behind the tree.” She looked down her nose at her. “Please do. I want to know if you think he fancies me back. Just don’t be obvious,” she whispered.

“Of course.” Ellie tip-toed around the pond and signaled for Beth to sneak up on the unsuspecting figure on the bench. She slipped through the willow tendrils and stood silently behind the tree.

A moment later and Beth’s shoes crunched on the dirt.

“Anthony? I feel a bit faint. Might I sit with you so you could be a gentleman and catch me if I fall?”

“No,” spat Vincent. “I won’t catch you.”

“I- You’re here.”

“You did invite my tutor.” Vincent paused. “Lord Masonwell? I am his plus-one.”

“Oh.” Beth’s voice was dripping with disdain. “Mother and I were hoping he’d bring someone… social.”

“Pity. So was I.” Dirt crunched and Ellie found herself facing Vincent. “I see you still enjoy eavesdropping, Eleanor.”

She sighed and joined Beth. “We thought you were Anthony.”

“Obviously. If you’re looking for him, try the refreshment table. And look under it. He will hide from people down there.”

That’s where he is!

Ellie made a face at Vincent and faintly shook her head.

He understood. And made great show of rolling his eyes. “Actually, try the dance floor. Anthony loves to dance.”

“Oh, Ellie come on before my perfume wears off!” Beth snagged her elbow and started off towards the stairs.

“Beth, a moment. I want to talk to Vincent.”

“Why? Nevermind. I’ll see you at the dance floor. And be quick!”

Ellie slowly turned around.

Vincent looked irritated. “Can’t you leave me in peace?”

“Thank you for helping Anthony avoid her.”

He studied her suspicious. “Is he really under the table?”

“Before I got dragged away, yes.”

A faint smile toyed with the edges of his mouth. “Perhaps I will go get a refreshment and see for myself. It’s been a while since he’s done something that stupid.” Vincent pulled the willow vines out of the way for them and walked beside her as they returned to the party. “He once tried to do that at royal ball.”

“Tried?” Ellie didn’t want to ruin their fragile conversation by speaking, but oh, for some good ammunition to use against Anthony next time he brought up the goat incident…

“He couldn’t stop sneezing.” Vincent looked over in alarm at her chuckle. “What?”

“That’s funny.”

He remained silent.

“Vincent?”

He let out a long-suffering sigh. “What, Eleanor?”

“The table is this way.”

“I knew that. I…” He pursed his lips and looked away. “This way is faster.” Vincent took her arm and pulled her around a corner, striding confidently down path lined with obnoxiously white carnations and gardenias. The stench was almost as volatile as Beth’s perfume.

Ellie reclaimed her arm from him. “This is not faster.”

“Yes it is.”

“Fine. I’ll come with you to prove you wrong.”

“I’m not wrong.”

“Want to bet?”

“Fine.” Vincent glowered at her. “If this way is faster, you leave me alone for the rest of this party. If you win, you get to…”

“You have to walk around with a gardenia in your waistcoat’s lapel.”

“A what?”

Ellie plucked one from the nearest bush. “This.”

He gagged. “No, not-”

“Fine, a carnation. You have to wear this for the rest of the day.” Ellie waved it in his face and smiled victoriously when he smacked it away.

“It’s a deal.” Vincent spun on his heel and stalked down the gravel path.

Ellie skipped after him, poking through the flowers for the biggest and brightest carnation. She was going to win this bet. She’d been around the Caldwell’s manor gardens before, when her and Beth had gotten enough of the stuffy tea room and Lady Caldwell’s endless gossip. Vincent was lost and doing a very good job at hiding it.

She picked a carnation and twirled it between her fingers. “I think we would have been at the refreshment table by now. Do you know where you’re going?”

His glare could have melted the last of the winter snow on the mountains. “No.”

“Then why come down this path?”

Vincent’s jaw was locked, a muscle twitching in it. “I do not like Beth’s cousin.”

“Duncan? Why?”

“It’s rude to pry, Eleanor.” Vincent’s frown deepened. “It…” He shook his head. “Personal reasons I don’t share with just anyone, and especially not you.”

“How flattering, and just when we were starting to get along.” Ellie pointed to a small sidepath. “There’s stairs this way.”

“Thank the heavens. I would almost trade you for Beth Caldwell.” Vincent paused at a bend in the path. “Almost. You don’t stink of rotten flowers.”

“I was about to say the same about you, except that you’re going to smell like a flower. I won the bet.” Ellie tucked the carnation into his lapel and started up the stairs, knowing full well he would try to speed around her, and she held her skirts wide and took her time, just to infuriate him.

“Eleanor,” he complained.

“I’m sorry, would you like to wear a hundred petticoats and haul them up s stairs while in a corset?”

He muttered something under his breath.

Ellie reached the top of the stairs and stepped aside so he could join her. Together they made their way to the refreshment table.

Vincent discreetly pretended to inspect the pastries and kicked the tablecloth.

“Bloody arsehole, what are you doing?” Anthony whispered furiously from under the table.

Ellie raised a glass of lemonade to her lips and pretended to take a sip. “Beth might look for you under there.”

Anthony’s gingery head appeared, framed in creamy linen. “Oh hiya Ellie. I didn’t recognize you from down here.” Her words caught up to him. “And how does Beth know I’m here.”

She looked over at Vincent.

“You told Beth-”

“I didn’t know. I though you outgrew this.”

Anthony crawled and stood, dusting off his knees. “Then where am I supposed to hide? Last time she found me, she spent an hour sprawled on my lap and feeling faint. And her hands did not stay to herself. Oooh, are those cherry?” He picked up a pastry and inspected it.

Vincent shifted uncomfortably as Lord and Lady Caldwell caught sight of him and started heading over to say hello. “There’s a willow tree by the pond. She shouldn’t go looking there for a while.”

“Thanks, Vince. Ellie.” Anthony waved the pastry in a farewell before he turned and disappeared around a duchess with an impossibly tall hat.

“Eleanor.”

“Vincent.”

“I’m going to hide under the table. Don’t mention it to anyone.” He ducked down behind her and vanished.

She calmly sipped her lemonade and smiled politely at Lord and Lady Caldwell as they arrived.

“Ellie, dearie, was that young Vincent that was just over here?” Lady Caldwell looked around her as if Vincent was hiding in her hat. “We did wish to say hello. It’s been forever since we’ve seen the poor darling.”

“I believe he went to go see about finding a quiet place to think.” Ellie smiled sweetly and gestured towards the daisy maze. “I think he went in there.”

“Oh, bugger.” Lord Caldwell frowned. “We’ll find him later. And you tell that uncle of yours that I’ve got a racehorse I think he’d be interested in.”

Ellie watched them leave. She kicked him under the table.

“Ow!”

“They’re gone.”

“You kicked me!”

“You left me with Lord and Lady Caldwell.”

Vincent frowned. “Perhaps you’re correct. Now, if you’d be so kind as to excuse me, Eleanor. I’ve been polite towards you enough for one day.”

“Likewise.”
