( Lyrics )

I think a Marxist reading of Dollhouse works best and no one plays musical Marx better than Kurt Weill. With or without that Brecht guy. Youkali Tango is intended as a doll’s eye view of the show - an interpretive dance of false consciousness. Mandalay speaks for the clients (and not so much with the dancing).

Title: Youkali Tango

Fandom: Dollhouse

Size: 42.7 MB

Summary: The sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world and the soul of soulless conditions. The opium of the people.

Summary: This was my contribution to buffy_love. One of the things I've always loved about Buffy is that she's not a quitter. Slaying is the hardest kind of work, no pay, no prospects, sometimes you die. And yet she always comes back to get the job done.

Major thanks to laurashapiro both for inspiring the song choice and performing a much appreciated beta on the first draft.
