Music is Love: [9/5]

As the students enter into the music room, previous students of music class might notice that the entire classroom has been renovated to look like a nightclub complete with stage, tables, booths and a bar which unfortunately has only non-alcoholic drinks. ~~Damn it~~

When the students take their seats the lighting changes over the stage and Lorne appears and from nowhere music begins to play.

Getting to know you...
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.

Getting to know you,
Putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,
My cup of tea

Scattered applause is heard even though the students may not be clapping. Funn that. Lorne smiles and begins to speak as the music continues to play in the background.

"Hello my cats and kittens of the classroom! For those of you don't
know me I'm Krevlornswath of The Deathwok Clan, but everybody calls me
Lorne. Or if you're a fan of kid shows, I'm better known as "Uncle
Lorne the green guy with Horns".

"Today's class is all about getting to know each other... I want you
all to pick a song and either sing it or play it for everyone and tell
us what that song means to you. You might ask why I picked my song?
Well frankly kids is because..."

Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy?
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day .. by ... day.

*Scattered Applause*

"Oh thank you! You're too kind!"

Collapsinate People!

"Sing or play an instrument for your musical choice. Whatever rocks your casbah, babe."

"Next Week's assignment? Bring in a Bootie shaking musical number to perform. Shaking your bootie will be required."

He's behind the bar wetting his whistle. ~~That means he's having a drink you pervs.~~

Because how else is a class supposed to end?

Skank Zero Hopeless-Savage

Zero tuned her guitar and proceeded to rock "I'm Your Cuddlebug (D-Bunnies Remix)"

"Baby when yer down 'n
When yer feelin' blue
Call me up late at night
There's sumpin' I can do fer you
Don't call yer sodding boyfriend
(He's a thug!)
I'm better for you baby...
'Cuz I'm yer squalling cuddlebug!"

Except she totally sang the whole song. Use your imaginations.

((OOC: Sadly, fragmentary lyrics are all canon gives me. If you like, I can find a real song for her to sing instead.))

Pip Bernadette

Jaye Tyler

Yasutora Sado

Jaye's song?

Mary Had a Little Lamb on a kazoo. It sounds a little like:

"Hmmmz hmmz hmmz hmmmz hmmzz zzzm zzmmm
Zmm zmmm zmmm
Zmmm zmm zmm
Hmmmz hmmz hmmmz hmmz hmmz hmmz hmmmz
Hmmz hmm hmmz hmmz hmmz hmmz."

She's not very good.

Pip tuned his guitar and started into a guitar only version of "Texas Flood" by Stevie Ray Vaughn. He's not a great singer, but he tries his best.

Well there's floodin' down in Texas
All of the telephone lines are down
Well there's floodin' down in Texas
All of the telephone lines are down
And I've been tryin' to call my baby
Lord and I can't get a single sound

Well dark clouds are rollin' in
Man I'm standin' out in the rain
Well dark clouds are rollin' in
Man I'm standin' out in the rain
Yeah flood water keep a rollin'
Man it's about to drive poor me insane

Well I'm leavin' you baby
Lord and I'm goin' back home to stay
Well I'm leavin' you baby
Lord and I'm goin' back home to stay
Well back home are no floods or tornados
Baby and the sun shines every day

Nadia Santos

Nadia had her guitar there as well.

Pip was a better player, but she was the better singer.

My city's still breathing, but barely, it's true,
Through buildings gone missing like teeth.
The sidewalks are watching me think about you,
Sparkled with broken glass.
I'm back with scars to show, back with these streets I know
Will never take me anywhere but here.

The stain in the carpet this drink in my hand,
These strangers whose faces I know,
We meet here for our dress rehearsal to say
"I wanted it this way,"
Wait for the year to drown, spring forward fall back down,
I'm trying not to wonder where you are.

All this time lingers undefined,
Someone choose who's left and who's leaving.

Memory will rust and erode into lists
Of all that you gave me,
A blanket, some matches, this pain in my chest,
The best parts of lonely.
Gaff tape and soldered wires, new words for old desires,
And every birthday card I threw away.

I wait in four-four time, count yellow highway lines,
That you're relying on to lead you home.

If Lorne's paying attention, well, he might just pick up on a lot of seniors leaving, and Nadia's own trip back to Argentina.

If not . . . it's a pretty neat song.

Chad...did not sing.

And the only instrument he played was the bass guitard, which limited his options of songs he could play that could be both defining and recognizable.

He pondered this delicate conundrum carefully.

And the placidly began to pluck out 'The Mexican Hat Dance.'

Parker

Parker is a trained singer. This does not mean she has a great voice. She doesn't. It's okay (but only up to kinda-good, sometimes), she can hit the notes, she can hold them (that, she's good at) but she'll never be an opera singer, Broadway singer, or rock star.

Keeping this in mind, she picks a song that'll send a message.

We were drawn from the weeds
We were brave like soldiers
Falling down under the pale moonlight
You were holding to me
Like a someone broken
And I couldn't tell you but I'm telling you now

Just let me hold you while you're falling apart
Just let me hold you and we'll both fall down

Fall on me
Tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you forever in me
Ever the same

We would stand in the wind
We were free like water
Flowing down
Under the warmth of the sun
Now it's cold and we're scared
And we've both been shaken
Hey, look at us
Man, this doesn't need to be the end

Just let me hold you while you're falling apart
Just let me hold you and we'll both fall down

Fall on me tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you
Forever in me
Ever the same
Call on me
I'll be there for you and you'll be there for me
Forever it's you
Forever in me
Ever the same

You may need me there
To carry all your weight
But you're no burden I assure
You tide me over
With a warmth I'll not forget
But I can only give you love

Fall on me tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you
Forever in me
Ever the same
Call on me
I'll be there for you and you'll be there for me
Forever it's you
Forever in me
Ever the same

Forever with you
Forever in me
Ever the same(Ever the same)

Parker waited a minute, then said, "Now. Really over-done song. But Rob Thomas sings it a lot better than I do, doesn't he?"

ZUKO

Zuko's eyes widened as Lorne started singing. Who the hell signed him up for this class to begin with. No, he was not getting up to perform.

He was eyeing the door and pondering to pull a runner however.

Marie D'Ancanto

Marie noticed the look on Zuko's face. "You okay?" she asked.

"This is worse than music night on the ship," Zuko hissed.

"Well, we're here to learn," Marie pointed out. "Some of these people might get better."

"I'm not sticking around to find out," Zuko said, stubbornly sticking his chin out.

Marie sat down at the piano, figuring she'd play & sing the same song as she did at the talent show.

After a moment of hesitation, she pulled off her gloves so she could play with ease. No one was close enough for her to accidentally touch.

There's a saying old says that love is blind
Still we're often told "seek and ye shall find"
So I'm going to seek a certain guy I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
He's the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of will regret

I'd like to add his initials to my monogram
Tell me where's the shepherd for this lost lamb

There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone to watch over me

I'm a little lamb who's lost in a wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me

Although he may not be the man some girls think of
As handsome to my heart
he carries the key

Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh how I need
Someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me

The moment the song was over, she tugged the gloves back on. Too bad she had no idea about Lorne's abilities. Her aura was probably pretty damn interesting right about now.

[ooc: now with corrected lyrics. I shouldn't do these things *right* after waking up.]

Marie frowned. "I can sit further away if you want. Sorry, I didn't mean to freak you out. But I wanted to thank you for helping the other day."

Because, yeah, in Marie's mind, he'd be perfectly justified for not wanting to be near her.
