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

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

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 got up on stage and grabbed the mike. He was dressed all in black and appeared to have a long black tail that he'd totally stolen from his Halloween costume.

"Hi there, everyone," he greeted the judges, grinning widely. "I'm Monty Cora. And I've got a little selection from The Leopard Emperor (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110357/) for you - a slightly different point of view on Justice." It's also possible Alec had been watching a few too many kids' movies.

"I know that your powers of retention
Are as wet as a warthog's backside
But thick as you are, pay attention
My words are a matter of pride

It's clear from your vacant expressions
The lights are not all on upstairs
But we're talking kings and successions
Even you can't be caught unawares

So prepare for a chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining new era
Is tiptoeing nearer--"

Near the middle of the verse, Alec heard a sound from behind him - like a vent opening up - and glanced back quickly in concern.

The vent had, in fact, opened up. Three gremlin heads popped out and one squeaked the next line. It wasn't in English, but anybody familiar with the song would recognize the cadence:

And where do we feature?

Apparently the gremlins were big fans of The Leopard Emperor. The three gremlins looked at Alec and waited for him to continue.

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!"

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.

"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.

"Well, I'm not sure about the message behind the song, but the production values were top notch! Well done, Monty!"

"Very good use of... props. Backup singers. Whatever. Nice job, Monty. Thumbs up," Captain Liberty says. And might be frowning a little at the gremlin teeth.
