Music is Love! [1/12] - Period Two

Those students returning to the music classroom from last semester will find that it has been transformed into what appears to be a television studio.

Right as the class bell ring the theme song beings to play and Lorne bursts onto the stage to the sound of canned applause.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to MUSIC IS LOVE!" Lorne exclaimed. "We would have called it Fandom Idol but Fox Executives threatened to sue."

Lorne gave the camera a glaring look. "Simon Cowell? When this is over your ass is mine. And not in the fun way."

After the laugh track ends, Lorne suddenly smiles, "For those of you of you who are unfamiliar how this class works, each week you will be responsible for finding and performing a song that goes with a certain theme. This week our theme is 'JUSTICE' which just happens to go along with our fabulous guest judges: Dean the Tick and Captain Liberty!"

Lorne gestures over to the Judges table where the The Tick and Captain Liberty are sitting. Canned applause occurs.

"Now let's get things started ramped up! C'mon kids! Let's see what you got!"

[ooc: ~~Wait for the~~ OCD is up!]

[ooc2: And anyone who would like to be bitten by our surprise guest stars should do so now! :)

Alec blinked, but picked up on the sudden back-up vocals and finished the verse, turning back to the judges.

"--Just listen to teacher

I know it sounds sordid
But you'll be rewarded
When at last I am given my dues
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared!"

Sokka took a bow and grinned stupidly at his sister's expression.

"Boo-ya! That's right! Give it up for the Majestic Sokkalator!" he shouted, and strode off the stage.

It took a moment, but she finally figured it out.

Classy Lang.

The three gremlins hopped out of the vent and stood behind Alec. Two of them squeaked out their equivalent of the next part:

It's great that we'll soon be connected
With a king who'll be all-time adored

The third just giggled in his gremliny fashion.

Cassie tentatively got up at the microphone. She was wearing a red cotton dress and a pearl necklace. And really nasty steel toed boots.

One of the bests thing about being able to change your size? Most costumes can end up fitting properly.

"Ummmm, this is a song about recognizing true heroes," she announced, before the music started.

He's an accountant who works for the council
He adds and subtracts and records the amounts 'til
The clock strikes five and he returns home
To prepare for the nighttime to defend this city alone
Like a flash and he's gone, like a spark and he's there
With his pearls 'round his neck and the wind in his hair
With nerves made of steel, and his dress made of cotton
He hands out the justice and rights all that's rotten
The thieves they all fear him, the thugs they do too
He defends the defenseless, he uses conditioning shampoo.

Ladyma-ha-an, Ladyman
Ladyma-ha-an, Ladyman
He's Ladyman

Now to some he might seem like an ordinary guy
Who dresses like a woman and flies in the sky
He's a modern day hero who's fighting for us
So give him your seat when he gets on the bus
He'll apprehend bad guys, he'll take them to jail
When crooks smell his perfume they start to turn pale
He's dissed that he's crimefighting dresswearing male
His cape's by Chenille, he bought it on sale
He'd be here now but he just broke a nail

Ladyma-ha-an, Ladyman
Ladyma-ha-an, Ladyman
He's Ladyman

This season someone will end all the hurt
Cause this season justice wears a skirt
Now I confess with a hand made of steel
We salute you, we salute you, Ladyman!

[ooc: Justice Wears a Skirt by Man Bites God]

If anybody in class wants to get bit by a gremlin, comment here. One person only though. First to comment gets it. If any of the newbies need to know what this entails, ping me on IM: FandomMonster or email me at fh[dot]anonymous[at]gmail[dot]com.

"Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected
To take certain duties on board
The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee
The point that I must emphasize is
You won't get a sniff without me!

As Alec settled into the dramatic back-and-forth of the last few lines, swaying and using hand motions to indicate his amazing plan, a horde of gremlins poured from the vent to accompany him, chirping in approximation of English where appropriate.

"So prepare for the coup of the century
(Oooh!)
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
(Oooh... La! La! La!)
Meticulous planning
(We'll have food!)
Tenacity spanning
(Lots of food)
Decades of denial
(We repeat)
Is simply why I'll
(Endless meat)
Be king undisputed
(Aaaaaaah...)
Respected, saluted
(...aaaaaaah...)
And seen for the wonder I am
(...aaaaaaah!)
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
(Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo)
Be prepared!"

The gremlins all danced to the front of the stage and 'sang' to the audience:

Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared -
Be prepared!

As the song ended, the gremlins froze, smiling at the class with their big, sharp, dripping with gremlin venom teeth.

She would have clapped if she wasn't still stunned. Really. That expression of amused horror was going away any second now.

Door waves. "I'm D--- uh, Entrance, and I'm here to sing a song about taking justice into your own hands."

She's not always in key, but she's... enthusiastic. And singing the word 'Bubba' with a London accent.

We were all down at Margie's bar
Telling stories if we had one.
Someone fired the old jukebox up-
The song, it sure was a sad one.
A teardrop rolled down Bubba's nose
From the pain the song was inflicting
And all at once he jumped to his feet
Just like somebody kicked him!

Bubba shot the juke box last night,
Said it played a sad song, made him cry.
Went to his truck and got a forty five
Bubba shot the juke box last night.

Bubba ain't never been accused of being mentality stable
So we did not draw an easy breath
Until he laid that Colt on the table!
He hung his head till the cops showed up;
They dragged him right out of Margie's.
Told him "Don't play dumb with us, son,
Y'know damn well what the charge is."

Bubba shot the juke box last night.
Said it played a sad song, made him cry.
Went to his truck and got a forty five
Bubba shot the juke box last night.

Well, the sheriff arrived with his bathrobe on;
The confrontation was a tense one.
Shook his head, said, "Bubba Boy,"
You was always a dense one.
Reckless discharge of a gun,
That's what the officers are claimin'."

Bubba hollered, "Reckless! Hell!
I hit just where I was aimin'!"

Bubba shot the juke box last night,
Said it played a sad song, made him cry.
Went to his truck and got a forty five...
Bubba shot the jukebox last night

Well, he could not tell right from wrong
Through the teardrops in his eyes.
Beyond a shadow of a doubt,
It was a justifiable homicide!
Bubba shot the juke box--
Stopped it with one shot--
Bubba shot the jukebox last night!

Greg ambled up on stage, and he was wearing...a black and white horizontally-striped shirt.

"This is a little song originally written by Mr. Sonny Curtis of the Crickets. Most of you know it from the Bobby Fuller Four, though, and it's been covered by everyone from Roy Orbison to the Clash. And it's true, too! You can fight the law, but you will lose, dudes. Yay law."

"Breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I needed money, 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and thelaw won

I left my baby and I feel so bad
I guess my race is run
Well, she's the best girl I've ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won"

At this point, there was a brief instrumental break.

During which, Greg treated everyone to some sexy and exciting air guitar.

"Robbin' people with a zip gun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I miss my baby and the good fun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I left my baby and I feel so bad
I guess my race is run
But, she's the best girl I've ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won!"

Angela decided to go with the androgynous thing.

Chase Lilith

Angela was surprised no one had taken her song yet.

I-I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins-like dolphins can swim
Though nothing-nothing will keep us together
We can beat them-for ever and ever
Oh we can be heroes-just
for one day
I-I will be queen
And you-you will be king
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be
heroes-just for one day
We can beat them-just for one day
I-I can remember
Standing-by the wall
And the
guns-shot above our heads
And we kissed-as though nothing could fall
And the shame-was on the other side
Oh we can beat them-forever and ever
Then we could be heroes-just
for one day
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes
We're nothing, and nothing will
help us
Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day
Oh, oh, oh,
ohhh-oh, oh, oh, ohhh, just for one day
Oh, just for one
day

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! GIVE IT UP FOR MARY!" Lorne said applauding along with the canned applause.

"That was fab Mary. I really felt the vibe you were putting out there. I think you could be the true winner of MUSIC IS LOVE!"

Which of course triggers more canned applause.

More canned applause.

"That was fabulous Dee-Dee," Lorne said clapping. "A+ effort all the way. What do you think judges?"

"Well that certiainly did not Sukka!" Lorne laughed and some how trigger the canned audience to laugh with him. "Good job kid! Good instincts!"

"I'm sorry? Was that a song?" Lorne said looking confused. "Honey this is Music is Love. We're looking for talent. The next Hannah Montana. This kind of lackluster performance will get you no where."

"Cassie? That was a classic performance. One that will remembered always here at Music is Love!"

"Fantastic! Just Fantastic! Hair! Clothes! Song! Image and words together in a smashing combination! Glorious!"

"Amy that was wonderful but I think you need to do something with the hair. Crimson Glow was so 1995."

"Yeah, it was a theme song. Didn't you recognize it?" Miley asked, rolling her eyes at the mention of Hannah.

"Angela," Angela stressed. "And, um, thanks. I'm not really a singer. My boyfriend likes my hair."

Sokka beamed at the green... spirit... thing. "Poetry is in my soul," he asserted.

Charlie Kawalsky.

Yep.

Ray winced but took the stage anyway. This wasn't going to be pretty.

Out of the ruins
Out from the wreckage
Can't make the same mistake this time
We are the children
The last generation
We are the ones they left behind
And I wonder when we
Are ever gonna change
Living under the fear
Till nothing else remains

We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond
The Thunderdome

Looking for something
We can rely on
There's gotta be something better out there
Love and compassion
Their day is coming
All else are castles built in the air
And I wonder when we
Are ever gonna change
Living under the fear
Till nothing else remains
All the children say

We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond
The Thunderdome

It wasn't pretty, there wasn't much movement but he'd done it and then he fled.
