Music is Love - Seventh Period [10/24]

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

Lorne is sitting back in the lounge area sipping a refreshing beverage as the students file in. Behind him is a clothes rack with various costumes.

"Hey kittens! The big recital is coming up on Friday. Take your time today to work on your act and try out your costumes. If you need any help your Uncle Lorne is right here to guide you. JD? Peter? See me when you have a moment."

Practice: 10/24

It the difference from going to Carnegie Hall and Carnegie Deli.

Parker's singing the song, and it hasn't gotten less sarcastic in the last three weeks, either.

So they call me a cock-eyed optimist
Immature and incurably green

Chad practised. In English. With gusto. and an S.

Well, gusto for Chad, anyway. But it was still pretty expressive for him.

Still, he followed more the Frank Sinatra (http://www.lyricsfreak.com/f/frank+sinatra/luck+be+a+lady_20055625.html) version rather than the musical one, because it didn't have the awkward musical dialogue/chorus in it, and...I mean, hell. Old Blue Eyes. Couldn't go wrong with Old Blue Eyes.

Nadia took a moment to put her hair up in pigtails.

Thank heaven for little girls
for little girls get bigger every day!

Thank heaven for little girls
they grow up in the most delightful way!

Those little eyes so helpless and appealing. . . .

She felt dirty.

Parker's blinking at her, looking very, very weirded out. "Okay. That's kind of..."

Re: Practice: 10/24

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia sighed. "I know. I can't figure it out, but something really seems off about this song."

Re: Practice: 10/24

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Nodding slowly, Parker said, "Welllll." She opened her mouth, closed it, debated, then said, "I have no idea where to start."

Re: Practice: 10/24

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shrugged. "It's what I got assigned. Might as well make the best of it. . . ."

Re: Practice: 10/24

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

Lorne looked up from where he was going over the lighting cues and gave Nadia long look as she sang.

Re: Practice: 10/24

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia was too absorbed in trying to figure out what it was about this song that was so disturbing to notice Lorne's reaction.

Maybe it was the patent leather shoes. . . .

Peter still hasn't gotten the ass shaking down right. But he did have a lot of jazz hands.

"La la la la la! Warm it up!
La la la la la! The boys are waiting!"

Zero was singing a revamped version of her song.

"Oops, I did it again,
I squalled with your heart,
Got lost in the game,
Ooh baby bite me..."

She also looked like she might be considering shooting herself.

Re: Practice: 10/24

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

"Those aren't the lyrics! There's no 'bite me' in the lyrics!" Lorne said flailing a bit. "Zima! What are you doing?"

Re: Practice: 10/24

[swerval_zero]

"I fixed the lyrics!" Zero insisted. "It's called 'creative license!'"

Re: Practice: 10/24

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

"Kid! You're killing me here," Lorne said face-palming. "Did Frank Sinatra change 'My Way'? Did Dino change 'That's Amore'? You're tip-toeing through dangerous waters Zima!"

Re: Practice: 10/24

[swerval_zero]

"This is Britney Spears. It's hardly Sinatra," Zero argued. "An' anyway, y'know who changed "My Way"? Sid Vicious."

Re: Practice: 10/24

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

"All right! All right! I give up!" Lorne said throwing his hands in the air dramatically. "Far be it for me to impede on artistic progress."

Re: Practice: 10/24

[swerval_zero]

"I promise not to be as profane," Zero assured him. "This is a school show."

Re: Practice: 10/24

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

"You can be profane. But only if you have sequins."

Re: Practice: 10/24

[swerval_zero]

"I thought we agreed on safety pins."

Re: Practice: 10/24

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

"We'll consider it a compromise?" Lorne asked hopfully.

Re: Practice: 10/24

[swerval_zero]

"We'll see," Zero said warily. She wasn't agreeing to anything up-front.

Sam now knew the lyrics, which was a step in the right direction.

She was now trying to speak the song rhythmically, though, which was probably not. She also sounded a little bit like William Shatner.

When I take you out, *pause* tonight *pause* with me

*long pause* *eye roll*

Honey *pause* here's *pause* the way it's goin' to be

*long pause*

You will set behind *pause* a team of snow white horses?

*long pause*

In the *pause* slickest *pause* gig *pause* you ever see!
