You want me to go full on crazy Tedependent theorist? Because I will, I will go full on crazy Tedependent theorist. What do I have to lose? (Except my dignity but that’s non-existent to begin with so 🤷)

Ted once said this: "I remember being a little kid, sitting in front of the television and watching Queen perform right over there during Live Aid."

He has a moustache that resembles Freddie Mercury’s. He’s even brought up the whole back story as to why he has it. (Also being told that he shouldn’t have a goatee right before he walks down the aisle and then he decided on this moustache and he never looked back…) in the same speech he says “Since I was a straight fella in Middle America working in sports.” Which leads me to episode 11.

In this episode they mention that Freddie Mercury owned Richmond briefly in 1980 and that he tried having “Fat Bottomed Girls” as the team’s song. And Rebecca tells Keeley and Higgins that her father went to art school with Freddie and that Freddie supposedly said that his greatest talent was “flipping straights”. So young Ted saw Queen perform at Live Aid and then when he was older he grew a moustache similar to Freddie Mercury’s? 🤔

Then we have the song in itself. You know who wrote “Fat Bottomed Girls”? Brian May. Who famously has fantastic, long hair.

Whose hair was brought up for the first time, explicitly, in the show this episode? Trent’s hair. And it was brought up by Ted’s mum. And Ted has previously commented on hair as something he seems to like. (He kind of alluded to Trent’s hair in the second episode of the third season but he never outright states that he likes it. And Trent asks Ted if he assumed that Trent could ride a bike because of his hair and the whole vibe). And I’ve talked about hair in THIS POST but the gist of it is that hair has been referenced before, in relation to romantic couples with Roy and Keeley, Higgins and his wife, Sam and Rebecca.

I can’t verify this quote because I don’t have the magazine. But I’m adding it here anyway:

May told Mojo magazine October 2008: "I wrote it with Fred in mind, as you do especially if you've got a great singer who likes fat bottomed girls… or boys."

“Fat Bottomed Girls” is also connected to the song “Bicycle Race”, written by Freddie Mercury, they were released as a single together. And they both reference each other. “Bicycle race” is sometimes viewed as a metaphor for being bi. (Sport as a metaphor, anyone?)

Who doesn’t know how to ride a bike? Trent. Who has a moustache similar to Freddie Mercury? Ted. Who might be bi? Ted.

Look, I told you it’s crazy but I couldn’t help myself. I’ve talked about Queen/Freddie Mercury in relation to Ted before. So I couldn’t let this opportunity pass me by.

#ted lasso #ted lasso spoilers #tedependent #then we also have other music related things with Ted and Trent #like Trent wearing a Dolly Parton shirt in two episodes #and in this episode Beard and Ted talk about singing Dolly Parton’s Islands in the stream at karaoke #and then Ted sings part of the song as he walks out #when it comes to clothes Trent is wearing his western shirt that he wore when Ted talked about being a straight fella #and he’s wearing it when he meets Ted’s mum who compliments his hair #and considering what James Lance has said about Trent’s shirts having meaning… #James Lance wore a Dorothy shirt to some event related to Ted Lasso #and in this episode we focus a lot on Kansas and they watch You’ve got Mail and the final scene in that movie has Somewhere over the rainbow #playing in the background #Dottie is a nickname/shortening of Dorothy #look I just want someone to love Trent okay #and I would love for it to be Ted and it would make so much sense #but at this point I’ll take anyone just give him someone to love and be loved by #nicole watches stuff

Happy Valentine’s The Circe Hermes Saga Day, everyone!

#my new playlist #epic the musical #epic the circe saga #not a Star Wars post #the songs vibe #just remember that Odysseus and his crew would remain on the island for one more year #Jay isn’t considering letting us wait that long #is he? #and poor Polites #he got his show in Odyssey when he met Circe #but he died before that in the music #with his role replaced by Eurylochus #ironic #isn’t it? #and we literally had just crashed two streams #lol

[coachbeards]

not to combine psych and ted lasso but ted and beard would be AVID watchers of american duos

#yes they’d choose a song (islands in the stream) and record an audition tape. no they don’t send it in #psych #ted lasso #please tell me you understand me

There’s nothing quite like scrolling through Tumblr at 4 am while listening to the radio, and then Islands in the Stream starts playing…alright Madney, I see you.

#911 #911 abc #islands in the stream #maddie buckley #chimney han #madney #like the song started playing and I IMMEDIATELY knew

[muirneach]

do other countries have their own alternate lyrics to this land is your land or is it just canada that wanted to be different

#this land is your land this land is my land from bona vista to vancouver island from the great lake waters to the arctic circle #this land was made for you and me :) #but like fair play i think we should all have localized versions of this song #like. my land is not california to new york island and my land is not redwood forest to gulf stream water. i think its fair!

looking at Spotify wrapped and last.fm end-of-year stats are two completely different experiences because it’s one thing to be told a song was my 10th most streamed song of the year and another to confront the fact i listened to Island In The Sun by Weezer 659 times in the year of our lorde 2022

#😐 #when did i find that much time to yearn to island in the sun #36 AND A HALF HOURS OF MY YEAR EXCLUSIVELY LISTENING TO ISLAND IN THE SUN BY WEEZER #AND ITS NOT EVEN MY MOST STREAMED SONG OF THE YEAR #hashtag mental illness

[eddiegirls]

#i can't wait to find out #i assume it's an 80s song #remember when madney sang islands in the stream 🥹

imagine telling your boyfriend that you don’t trust his boy best friend and you don’t like how close they are and then you find out he still hangs out with him and also wears a little apron to cook him and his son breakfast 💀

#Beard prioritizing ted over every romantic partner he’s had is like. Basically canon #mr doesn’t do relationships but sure boy best friend I’ll come to London in 3 days #I am a beardjane hater first and foremost but imagine being jane lmaooo #beard: sure jane I won’t hang out with him (fingers crossed behind his back) #Beard continuously hanging out with ted despite Jane’s dislike of him is so funny like he really is just #yeah but I love ted 🧡🧡🧡 #jane would have a breakdown if she knew about their go to song being islands in the stream #coach beard #ted lasso #tedbeard #beardted #beard has issues!!!!!! He’s so dependent on ted!!! He loves ted!
