Music is Love: [10/17]

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

"Duets!" Lorne shouts out enthusiastically once everyone has signed in. "Two people! Singing together! Making a song that normally be nifty be extra special!"

"Duets can take many forms. You can have two people sing a regular song and switch off during the verses and chorus and get together on the final refrain. Or you could have a song which is a type of conversation between the two singers, like "Baby it's cold outside", and finally you have the album series "Duets" with great singers like Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett who are getting old and so the record companies get younger more popular artists to sing with them in a fitting tribute, sometimes ignoring green skinned crooners who can sing better than any of them! BUT DO I GET AN INVITATION? Nooooooo!"

*cough*

"But I'm not bitter."

"So today kiddies, your job is to get together with a classmate and pick a song to sing with each other. If you're feeling shy? Feel free to ask your Uncle Lorne to sing with you."

ETA: "Oh one more thing kids! With Parents Weekend coming up I'm looking forward to meeting all your parents and inviting them to next week's recital! I'm sure they would be very happy to see you all sing."

Parker Holliday. In honor of a couple greats.

Listen to the Lecture/ Pair up

Pick your partners Do-Si-Do...

Re: Listen to the Lecture/ Pair up

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia looked about for someone to sing with, trying to think of a good duet kind of song.

Re: Listen to the Lecture/ Pair up

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Any ideas, then?"

Re: Listen to the Lecture/ Pair up

[nadiathesaint]

"Not really. Emo Indie music doesn't have a lot of duets. Oh! Wait, there is one Postal Service song,"

Re: Listen to the Lecture/ Pair up

Chad wondered who had a voice that'd match up nicely to his bass, and what kind of song would compliment it, as well.

Re: Listen to the Lecture/ Pair up

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker raised her eyebrows at Chad. "Any ideas on music? My voice isn't in the Celine Dion range, but I don't know what duets you know."

Re: Listen to the Lecture/ Pair up

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad scratched his head a bit. "First thing that came to my mind was "Ebony and Ivory," he winced, quite visibly. "But that doesn't work, 'cause I'm more like sandstone, anyway."

Re: Listen to the Lecture/ Pair up

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Nope. Zuko wasn't doing a duet. No way.

Re: Listen to the Lecture/ Pair up

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Zuko, want to sing with me?"


[ooc: y'know, when I get home - whenever that may be since rush hour traffic+rain=zomg long commute.]

Re: Listen to the Lecture/ Pair up

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"No," he replied, but it wasn't anything personal. There might even have been the hint of a whine in his voice.

Sam hoped that her poor partner's grade didn't depend on her singing ability. She was also glad that she didn't have anyone to be coaxed into coming to the recital. O'Neill would have teased her until they were dead. Again.

Re: Listen to the Lecture/ Pair up

[swerval_zero]

Zero looked around for a duet partner hopefully.

Duets

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

Just trying to make it interactive. Yo.

Re: Duets

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker cocked an eyebrow at Chad. "You go first? Or me?"

Re: Duets

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad considered how the switching of verses would go, and decided, "I'll start."

And, after clearing his throat and setting a tempo, he did.

"Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life."

He stoicly swooped an arm toward Parker to give her the spotlight now.

Zuko looked very much like he didn't want to be on this stage. He had his own thoughts about the lyrics of this song. He wasn't exactly singing fluently either as he had to memorise the words because reading went too slow.

In another's eyes
I'm someone who
Loves her enough to walk away from you
I'd never cheat, I'd never lie
In another's eyes

Re: Duets

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Marie didn't particularly like the meaning of the lyrics, but it was a pretty song.

In another's eyes
I can do no wrong
He believes in me and his faith is strong
I'd never fall or even compromise
In another's eyes

Re: Duets

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip tuned up his guitar and started singing.


Will someone please call a surgeon
Who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart
That you're deserting for better company?
I can't accept that it's over...
I will block the door like a goalie tending the net
In the third quarter of a tied-game rivalry

So just say how to make it right
And i swear i'll do my best to comply

Tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together

Re: Duets

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia grinned and played a short bridge into the female part.

I feel I must interject here.
You're getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself
With these revisions and gaps in history.
So let me help you remember.
I've made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear.
I've prepared a lecture on why I have to leave

So please back away and let me go,

Talk to Lorne

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

Because he'll never get your name right but he loves you anyway.

OOC

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

You down with OOC?
