Richard Marpole created a forum thread: Musical bar brawl
Hi all. I’m making solid progress on my first novel, A Day in the Lies of Inari Meiwaku. But there’s one key detail of one scene I’m having trouble with.
When working out how my protagonist, Inari Meiwaku, would get through a bar fight against a band of supernatural revellers I decided that she would set it to music. She tells a secondary character to choose a song from the jukebox and lets the music dictate the rhythm of the fight. It might not work in a real fight but she’s not human and neither are her opponents.
What I can’t decide is what the song should be. It should be jaunty, fast paced and fun with perhaps a little aggression to it. 
Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

Richard Marpole liked an excerpt from A Day in the Lies of Inari Meiwaku
Maybe I’ve spent too many lives as an outsider, poor and resentful, to really be able to enjoy true wealth without sinking into self-hatred. Maybe it’s the voice of the Fox, reminding me that the whole business is just another kind of lie, an illusion which distracts people from the real business of life; survival.
