Babylon 5 - The Musical!

[Elenopa]

No, this is not a post about TMOS.

I went to my singing lesson the other day and looked at the song that my teacher had just been using with her previous student. The words were very haunting and immeadiately made me think of Ivanova.

I Remember
From Evening Primrose


I remember sky
It was blue as ink
Or at least I think
I remember sky.


I remember snow
Soft as feathers
Sharp as thumb tacks
Coming down like lint
And it made you squint
When the wind would blow.


And ice like vinyl
On the streets
Cold as silver
White as sheets
Rain like strings
And changing things
Like leaves.


I remember leaves
Green as spearmint
Crisp as paper.
I remember trees
Bare as coat racks
Spread like broken umbrellas.


And parks and bridges,
Ponds and zoos,
Ruddy faces,
Muddy shoes,
Light and noise and
Bees and boys
And days.


I remember days,
Or at least I try.
But as years go by
They're sort of haze,
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky.

Well, I just wondered, if there was a B5 musical, what other songs could characters have?

John Sheridan: "All My Ex's Live In Texas"

 

[Flounder]

Clarke: Blame Aliens! (Melody: Blame Canada!)

 

[Infested Londo]

Maybe we could finally hear what the Pak'mara was singing (As Vir told everyone at "the last supper" in Sleeping In Light).

 

[Elenopa]

I just found one that could be for Marcus or Lennier.

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest To follow that star
No matter how hopeless No matter how far
To fight for the right Without question or pause
To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable stars

I suppose the obvious is morden singing...

'me and my Shadow'

 

[hypatia]

I suppose the obvious is morden singing...

'me and my Shadow'

I think Ranger Phil deserves some kind of award.

*clap*

That is simply too perfect.

 

[fisheggs]

Oh no!! That could lead to some kind of contest! You could get entrys like:

Kosh: "I Am What I Am"

Zathras: "If I Were A Rich Man"

Susan Ivanava: "Papa Dont Preach"

or other such abominations

 

[hypatia]

Well, that might just pressure JMS into giving some more information, eh? :devil:

Desperate people... desperate actions, eh, Fisheggs?

 

[rangerPHIL]

a trio of delenn sheridan and valen doing that wel known grease number...


your the one(s) that I want....

 

[vacantlook]

Ramma ramma ramma ka dinga da dinga da dong
Shoobop shoowaadaa waada yippity dip de doom
Chang chang changity chang shoobop
Dip da dip da dip doowop a doobeedoo
Boogedy boogedy boogedy boogedy shoobee doowop shoobop
Shanna nanna nanna a yippity dip de doom
Awop maba loobop awop bam boom

(That's the best approximation I can get the phonics of that part of the song based on my memory of them from my junior year high school field show.)

 

[KoshFan]

I envision Lorien singing something along the lines of "I'm all alone... there's nobody here beside me...."

Clark and his minions could do a rendition of "Springtime For Hitler," just to underscore the parallels further.

 

[Markas]

Ah yes...Lorien alone. (Thanks to Sinatra.)


All alone, i'm so all alone
There is no one else, but you
All alone, by the telephone
Waiting for a ring-a-ting-a-ling

I'm all alone, every evening
All alone, feeling blue

Wondering (i wonder) where you are
And how you are
And if you are - all alone too

 

[RW7427]

Ramma ramma ramma ka dinga da dinga da dong
Shoobop shoowaadaa waada yippity dip de doom
Chang chang changity chang shoobop
Dip da dip da dip doowop a doobeedoo
Boogedy boogedy boogedy boogedy shoobee doowop shoobop
Shanna nanna nanna a yippity dip de doom
Awop maba loobop awop bam boom

Sounds like Kosh getting down and funky.

 

[rangerPHIL]

lyta in singalong with Mars resistance number 1 as Garribaldi is about to bite the bullet.


''Let me show you the world in my eyes....''
(depeche mode)

 

[Sindatur]

You could find any number of uses for Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust"

 

[fisheggs]

Oh God, you made me do it!! Shame on you!!

Battle of the Line: Minbari Cruiser line dance::




"It's Raining Men" :devil:

 

[RW7427]

I'm not responsible for your thoughts.

 

[galenskid]

The song sang for Karate Kid 2,the glory of love, can be used for Sheriden

Sheriden sings to Delenn
I am a man who will
Fight for your honour
I'll be the hero
You're dreaming of
We'll live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love


Sheriden to Kosh
You'll keep me standing tall
You'll help me through it all
I'm always strong
When you're inside me
I have always needed you
I could never make it alone

 

[galenskid]

There is also a song that can describe Matthew Gideon,Marcus Cole,Susan Ivonova and Elizebeth Lochley (because they kick butts)

"Everybody loves kung fu fighting!"
