Music is Love: [11/21]

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

Anyone coming into the music room will see that the interior has been changed from a nightclub to a... well a nightclub with a ton of Autumn decorations.

The fact that Lorne is dressed up as a pilgrim and there's a ton of the food at the table should tip off that this is probably going to be an easy class today.

The angry turkey that is pecking Lorne on the legs? Mostly likely for your amusements.

"Greetings my fellow puritans and Indians! Today we're going to get down with grub and talk some Turkey!"

This is followed by a the turkey attacking Lorne with an angry gobble.

"Get away from me you wretched thing! Kids? Remember when ordering a turkey? Make sure it's dead and frozen for delivery."

Again with the gobbles and the pecking.

"Watch it Tommy-boy because I have no problems turning you into giblet gravy.

The turkey glared at Lorne and stomped off into a corner. (Because Turkeys? Yeah they can totally stomp)

Lorne breathed a sigh of relief. "In case you haven't guessed it, today we will celebrate thanksgiving a little early. We will all go around the table and sing a song showing what we are thankful for. We've got the the traditional foods laid out here. Yams, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, gravy, biscuits, Pylean yaksblood pudding, turkey - SHUT UP YOU STUPID BIRD! - and To-furkey for those of you in the vegetable ways of life."

Lorne takes a seat at the head of the table and starts carving up the turkey. "Now to start things off? I'll sing the first song."


The music begins and Lorne begins to sing:
I've got plenty to be thankful for
I haven't got
A great big yacht
To sail from shore to shore
Still I've got plenty to be thankful for

I've got plenty to be thankful for
No private car
No caviar
No carpet on my floor
Still I've got plenty to be thankful for

I've got eyes to see with
Ears to hear with
Arms to hug with
Lips to kiss with
Someone to adore

How could anybody ask for more?
My needs are small
I buy them all
At the five and ten cent store
Oh, I've got plenty to be thankful fooooooooor


"Extra Credit if you can tell me who wrote the song, who sang it and what movie it was in. Now dig in and eat up!"

OCD IS UP!

Marie started thinking about songs with the word 'thank you' in them. And ended up singing the very first thing that popped in her mind.

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down the road and back again
Your heart is true you're a pal and a confidant.

And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you ever knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend.

"It's the theme song from Golden Girls," she said sheepishly.

[now with proper grammar - stupid lyric websites... and proper coding. OMG I need caffeine.]

"Best. Song. Ever," Lorne said wiping a tear of joy from his eye. "Have some yams."

Zuko didn't know any songs about gratitude, but he was totally siding with the turkey.

Re: Eat and Sing! [11/21]

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

"Sing Zack," Lorne said motioning to him. "Or you don't get any yaksblood."

Re: Eat and Sing! [11/21]

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"Zuko," he corrected immediately. "I don't need any yaksblood."

Chad was thankful for...

"Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with string..."

And also...

"Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and slay bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild gees that fly with the moon en their wings"

And he couldn't forget...

"Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eye lashes
Silver white winters that melt into spring"

Why?

"'Cause those are a few of my favourite things..."

Re: Eat and Sing! [11/21]

"Very good Chuck! Have some Tofurkey."

Re: Eat and Sing! [11/21]

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Uhhhh..." Chad didn't like the look of tat Tofurkey from the moment he set eyes on it. "Can I have just regular turkey instead?"

It wasn't exactly a thanking song, well, it never said thank you, but it was what came to mind, anyway:

Let's take a look behind
And see what we can find.
Last year has gone for everyone
Passed with time.
What happened to us then
Can't happen once again
And what's now all to me?
History.

Years may come (Many years are still ahead)
Years may go (Many years have passed)
Some go fast (They belong to yesterday)
Some go slow (Still the memories last)
Some are good (Couldn't stop the laughter flowing)
Some are bad (Couldn't stop the tears)
For each one (Thank the Lord that we have been)
Just be glad (Together through the years)

Whenever I review
The lovin' times with you
I wouldn't change a single page
We've lived through.
It wasn't always smooth
Sometimes we'd jump the groove
We've shed some tears and then
Loved again.

Years may come (Many years are still ahead)
Years may go (Many years have passed)
Some go fast (They belong to yesterday)
Some go slow (Still the memories last)
Some are good (Couldn't stop the laughter flowing)
Some are bad (Couldn't stop the tears)
For each one (Thank the Lord that we have been)
Just be glad (Together through the years)

Heartaches I don't doubt
Life's sure to dish us out.
We'll beat the lot and that is what
Life's all about.
Whatever may come true
Ahead for me and you
Some day it all will be
Memories.

Years may come (Many years are still ahead)
Years may go (Many years have passed)
Some go fast (They belong to yesterday)
Some go slow (Still the memories last)
Some are good (Couldn't stop the laughter flowing)
Some are bad (Couldn't stop the tears)
For each one (Thank the Lord that we have been)
Just be glad (Together through the years)

"Very good Miss Santana. Would you like some stuffing?"

Re: Eat and Sing! [11/21]

"Sure. And some potatoes, please!"

Sam wasn't in the best mood.

how bout getting off these antibiotics
how bout stopping eating when I'm full up
how bout them transparent dangling carrots
how bout that ever elusive kudo

thank you india
thank you terror
thank you disillusionment
thank you frailty
thank you consequence
thank you thank you silence

how bout me not blaming you for everything
how bout me enjoying the moment for once
how bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
how bout grieving it all one at a time

thank you india
thank you terror
thank you disillusionment
thank you frailty
thank you consequence
thank you thank you silence

the moment I let go of it was the moment
I got more than I could handle
the moment I jumped off of it
was the moment I touched down

how bout no longer being masochistic
how bout remembering your divinity
how bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out
how bout not equating death with stopping

thank you india
thank you providence
thank you disillusionment
thank you nothingness
thank you clarity
thank you thank you silence

It's terrifying how easily the song comes to Jaye.

You've been so kind and generous
I don't know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I'm in debt to you
For your selflessness, my admiration
And for everything you've done

You know I'm bound...
I'm bound to thank you for it

You've been so kind and generous
I don't know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I'm in debt to you
And I never could have come this far without you
So for everything you've done

You know I'm bound...
I'm bound to thank you for it

I want to thank you
For so many gifts
You gave with love and tenderness
I want to thank you

I want to thank you
For your generosity
The love and the honesty
That you gave me

I want to thank you
Show my gratitude
My love and my respect for you
I want to thank you

I want to...

Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you

"I hate that song," she says. "And now it's gonna be stuck in my head all damn day."

Days can be sunny with never a sigh
Don't need what money can buy
Birds in the trees sing their dayful of songs
Why shouldn't we sing along?
I'm chipper all the day
Happy with my life
How do I get that way?
Look at what I've got:

I got rhythm, I got music, I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
I've got daisies in green pastures
I've got my man
Who could ask for anything more?

Old man trouble I don't mind him
You won't find him 'round my door
I've got starlight
I've got sweet dreams
I've got my man
Who could ask for anything more?

Old man trouble, I don't mind him
You won't find him 'round my door
I've got starlight
I've got sweet dreams
I've got my man
Who could ask for anything more?

Oh, I've got rhythm
I've got music
I've got daisies in green pastures
I've got starlight
I've got sweet dreams
I've got my man
Who could ask for anything more?

I've got rhythm, I've got rhythm ...

JD didn't know any really "thankful" songs, so he chose to sing the happiest song he knew instead. Unable to take his eyes off the food, however, he probably looked like he was singing to the yams.


I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin',
Singin' in the rain

Dancin' in the rain
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
I'm happy again!
I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain!

I'm dancin' and singin' in the rain...

Chat with Lorne!

Watch out for the Turkey.

"All right! Up against the wall you Turkey..."

*gobble gobble*

"Shaddap! You have the right to remain silent! You have the right to be roasted with root vegetables and a apricot glaze!"

Re: OOC: L&O Style

[badassbutler.livejournal.com]

...."an apricot glaze"

Re: OOC: L&O Style

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

...

Okay it's the only thing I could think of when I made the post.

Nevertheless? The Turkey is in Jail pending trial.

This was my story.

Re: OOC: L&O Style

I was actually referring to the fact that you put "a apricot glaze" instead of "an apricot glaze".

While I feel confident to correct grammar, I am in no way competent in culinary fields to judge on the appropriate deliciousness or non-deliciousness of apricot glazes.
