Fairy type combinations

Examples of type combination songs with fairy as their primary type


Fairy fire

These are a very rare combination because they will have to be excited or ecstatic songs about fire or with a burning quality.

You're My Heart, You're My Soul (Modern Talking).

Fire (Radiorama).

Fairy dark

These are songs which are excited or ecstatic, yet badass or somewhat dark themed at the same time, which is a very cool and awesome combination. Examples of this type are:-

On Melancholy Hill (Gorillaz).

Enola Gay (OMD).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5XJ2GiR6Bo

The Night (Scooter).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTA5YO3_ih8


Fairy fighting

These would be excited songs about fighting, which can be pretty rare. Though there is a really fine example I know of:-

Je T'aime Mélancolie (Mylène Farmer).
Single version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ithCveV1Aco
Video version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1xudU08wQ8
Album version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrT9F7J8FlU


Fairy earth

A fairy-ish song about being grounded (or with a ground-like quality) could embody this type combination. Examples include these:-

I Want to Break Free (Queen).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4Mc-NYPHaQ

Bittersweet (Sophie Ellis Bextor).
Video version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxR5YIb3Q-0
Extra version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5qWj3JhdIM


Fairy electric

An excited and electrifying type. I have a few examples of this but they are all instrumental. Examples:-

Heaven Rd. 2 (EnV).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYjmE-mtB6g

Waiting for Paradise (DJ Contacreast).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fsgi_1bTzZ0


Fairy ceramic

Fairy and ceramic could be considered opposites in ways, since fairy is the youngest type while ceramic is the oldest. There's just one example of this very unusual type combination I know of, and here it is:-

Natural (Gigi D'Agostino).
YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o767vfF22hM


Fairy oil

This combination would combine an excitement with a slick or oily quality. It is very unique as a combination, which explains why there is quite a unique song I know of which really embodies it:-

Your Woman (White Town).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im5fiehrGAM


Fairy bug

These are quite a niche combination, usually excited bubblegum pop songs about bugs, which I actually have some examples of:-

Butterfly (Smile.dk).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhfRcWeT-lA

Bumble Bee (Bambee).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21sLEFQSHN8

Dragonfly (Smile.dk).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1gM9OFZVD8


Fairy grass

This one is a very childish combination, since it has the fairy primary quality combined with grass themes which can be cosy or maybe about growing up in some way. There is some variation about the quality of song which can end up in this combination, too. This means it isn't so rare as a combination, and there are more examples, like these:-


Big Boys Don't Cry (Lolly).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bljp9tu0vos

Cheri Cheri Lady (Modern Talking),
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNvUS-6PTbs

Fifi and the Flowertots theme.
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVAVe2RAOt4

Coconut (Smile.dk).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5WG0GiY9to

Lollipop (The Chordettes).

Ievan Polkka (Hatsune Miku).


Fairy poly

This is an excited song that has variations exploring the fairy type in general or could be about plastic (like the obvious first one in the examples below).

Barbie Girl (Aqua).

Weekend (Scooter).


Fairy rock

The band 'A-ha' achieved great success when they took their song 'Take On Me' over the edge of excitement so that it became a fairy rock type. Other than that, this type combination has proven difficult to replicate, but there are other examples. Here's the list:-

Take On Me (A-Ha).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914

The Powerpuff Girls Credits Theme (Bis).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6epMQlNWtI

HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA! (Slackcircus).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ5LpwO-An4

At Dawn (from 'Sonic Adventure').
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az6eEJi1-pE


Fairy glass

This would be an excited but bitty song, which many older computer games may have strived towards but not quite made the mark. I am sure there are some out there, but for now the only example I have found is one that was specially designed just to be different:-

SPCial Rebirth (Windpearl).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRB9qgfeNZA


Fairy ice

At first glance, it seems like this combination would be like Christmas songs, but, upon closer inspection, those would be closer to 'ice fairy' instead. Here, the ice type tempers the spirit of the fairy, making it more balanced (less over-excited) than most other primary fairy types. The only examples I have that truly fit in are these:-

Voyage Voyage (Desireless).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PDmZnG8KsM

Regrets (Mylène Farmer and Jean-Louis Murat).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u617RilV5wU


Fairy steel


A relatively unexplored type combination, which would consist of, for example, a 'screamer' or metal quality but be dominated by the primary fairy type at the same time. I have a clip of an example somewhere, but, no matter how times I Shazam it, I can't find its real name! So perhaps this will suffice instead:-

Metal (Poppy).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PbZKEE6DwU


Fairy air

God and Allah are fairies with an air theme (magical sky daddies), so this type of music suits them. There are a few examples of this type, since it is excited and about flying or sky-themed, which fits together quite easily. Like this:-

Heaven (DJ Sammy).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7i7g9ccjkc8

Signal in the Sky (The Apples in Stereo).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUyRqiXu250

Twinkle Cart (Sonic Team).

Twinkle Circuit (Sonic Team).

Fly on the Wings of Love (DJ Sammy).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCIBTbpFe2g
Remix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2moV_zD_EBA


Fairy space

An excited, magical song with a spacey quality or something about space. There are two examples I have which sound quite different but both fall into this combination. This is very close to its inverse (the space fairy combination) so they can be mixed up quite easily. Looking at the subject matter is the easiest way to define the type - if it is more about space, it's fairy space. If it's more about mysticism or dreams, it's space fairy.

Beautiful Strange (Bedrock).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-67PQzSSl5M

Song of the Stars (Dead Can Dance).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0L5RFspwyE

Fairy water

These would be magical or excited songs about water (or with watery foreground quality). Not to be confused with water fairy, of course. Examples I have of fairy water are here:-

We Belong to the Sea (Aqua).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIVCb459bkQ

Waves (Original version) (DJ Satomi).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp_tLhL18RM

Waves (Speed version) (DJ Satomi).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfqX_6o5pUc


Fairy dragon

An excited and magical quality combined with the epicness of the secondary dragon type. The example I have is the theme song of the goddess Nature. Here:-

See Who I Am (Within Temptation).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk_Kt6AvILs


Fairy ghost

A combination of being very excited and magical but with a ghostly intention. This can include just the top level of "trance-like" songs which break out of the 'psychic' type and become 'fairy ghost' instead, or maybe are specifically excited or euphoric songs about ghosts. The two examples I have are these:-

Trinity (009 Sound System).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohSNeQ70VsY

Arisen (Arksun).Short version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKf7r6j5bwc
Long version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RerGnCM0-AI


Fairy poison

Very excited songs but with a potentially corruptive message. This type can be especially stealthy because it generates happiness but implants the corruptive text.

Kids in America (LEN).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGmTY_X2sBE

Virtuality (VBirds).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fj2xLr-mVp0


Fairy normal

Quite a common group. Most primary fairy type songs tend to fall into this combination. Examples:-

Angel (Leona Lewis).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRemP1PUtfw

Stupid Cupid (Mandy Moore).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fink9zQ_4BA

Sugar Sugar (The Archies).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRenOZQMbHo

Balla Da-Li (Andreas De Man).
Original version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kW6exAaQTI
Awesome version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2ydY-iRPX0

Bleeding Love (Leona Lewis).

My Oh My (Aqua).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkUlT2JfBDw

Doctor Jones (Aqua).

Boys (Smile.dk).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idwRcvBSgfM

YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-9V8dvA_JM

Mr. Wonderful (Smile.dk).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq4T88ati3I


Fairy (pure)

These have to combine the excited magical quality of primary fairy with the mystical quality of secondary fairy. It was described in the introduction, but there are more examples here:-

Take a Bow (Leona Lewis).
YouTube like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9ztc7UW_B8

Better in Time (Leona Lewis).

Happy Fantasy (DJ Contacreast).


Fairy psychic

Could be described as excited songs with a trancey quality, but compare to fairy ghost (which is more ghostly) and psychic fairy (which is more mystical), so there's no mixup. It's difficult to describe the difference sometimes, but the following songs really should be used to define this combination properly (and compare with similar-sounding types to work out the difference).

Liebe (Ayla).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTazusRqn2Q

Perfect (Agnelli & Nelson Remix) (Markus Schulz feat Dauby).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKVUDr1goPc


Fairy light

Probably the most positive combination. This is defined quickly as "excited and happy", up to the level of Pollyanna or being starry-eyed (the opposite of disillusioned). Usually quite idealistic and overpositive songs fit here, but some just really couldn't fit anywhere else even if they tried. Examples:-

Always (Erasure).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWqJTKdznaM

Starry Eyed (Ellie Goulding).
YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBf2v4mLM8k

YES! (LMFAO).

Appelle Mon Numéro (Mylène Farmer).
