½ ¡Ñ§ÅñË ® thoughts. What if people broke into song in real life?

[½ ¡Ñ§ÅñË ®]

I was at a friends house last night watching a musical film and she said “Wouldn’t it be funny if we lived our lives where groups of people broke out singing and dancing randomly for no apparent reason at all”? :lol:At the office, or in the grocery store. At the gas pumps. We were pretty baked when she said it and I’ve been thinking about it today. :shocked:

I’m trying to think of a song and vision a large group of people singing and dancing to it in a scene, but I’m drawing a blank. :shrug: What do you think? Crank it up. Let’s sing and dance. :lol:

[amber]

I dunno. But i always thought something like that should happen in the laundrymat. it just seems obvious...

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Believe it or not, I have thought about this, too. I would like to do it just to see the looks on people's faces. The shock value would be priceless. It's all about the shock value :nod:

LOL, For some odd reason I can totally see that :shocked: :lol: Or in the middle of a crowded street. That one poppes inot my head as well!

yes, the post office. that would be a great one.
I thought of this same concept a very long time ago (who could ever see a musical and not think of it?) :laugh: And it's fun to think about. :thumbsup:

Police Station, Hospital, Factory some more places I could think of!

[½ ¡Ñ§ÅñË ®]

How about if everyone stopped and got out of they’re cars on an interstate highway and sang something? Hmm? :lol:

[amber]

The DMV would be great. geez, that place sucks!

[WildInTheWind]

Yea the DMV does suck. I'd be afraid I'd get shot if I broke out in song and dance there!

Dick Van Dyke had some crazy musicals. I love “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.” :nod:

Ever seen Everyone says I love you by Woody Allen, or the Bjork video, It's Oh so Quiet? In both it happens something close to what you were wondering about. :nod:

Awwww. I just had a Buffy Musical moment. Tear, tear, saliva.

BUFFY: So, did anybody, um... last night, did anybody, oh... burst into song?
XANDER: Merciful Zeus!
WILLOW: We thought we were the only ones! It was bizzare!
GILES: Well, I sang, but I have my guitar at the hotel and I often...
TARA: We were talking, and then... it was like...
BUFFY: Like you were in a musical?
GILES: ...Of course, that would explain the huge backing orchestra I couldn't see and the synchronized dancing from the room-service chaps...
ANYA: ...And we were arguing, and then everything rhymed, and there were harmonies and a dance with coconuts....
XANDER: It was very disturbing.
GILES (to Buffy): What did you sing about?
BUFFY: I, uh... I don't remember. But it seemed perfectly normal.
XANDER: But disturbing. And not the natural order of things. Do you think it'll ever happen again? 'Cause I'm all for the natural order of things.
GILES: We should look into it.
WILLOW: Exactly. With the books, and mulling... There could be mulling.
TARA: Do we have any books about this?
XANDER: Well, we've just gotta break it down, look at the factors, before it happens again ---
[everyone breaks into song]

Swoon. I need to listen to the soundtrack again.

[DeadliestPoison]

DAWN: Oh my God, you will NEVER believe what happened at school today.
BUFFY: (not looking up from her magazine) Everbody started singing and dancing?
DAWN: (glaring) I gave birth to a pterodactyl. -_-
ANYA: Oh my God! Did it sing?!
DAWN: So you guys, too, huh?
XANDER: So, what'd you sing about?
DAWN: Math.
TARA: That's right! The volume! The text. The volumey... text!

Oh, I love that episode. <3<3

Am I the only one that actually breaks into song in public? I honestly do it all the time. The Nursing faculty thinks I'm a nut case because I just sing and sing during lectures....I try to stay professional during rotations, but sometimes I :twirl: down the hall when no one is looking. :shocked:

[WildInTheWind]

Yes...I think you ARE the only one!!! :lol:

*no, you are not the only one

[DeadliestPoison]

Heh.

XANDER: It's a nightmare! A plague! It's like a nightmare about a plague!
ANYA: It has to be stopped, Rupert!
(Xander and Anya begin talking at the same time)
XANDER: It was just like, I didn't wanna be saying things but they just kept pouring out of me and they rhymed and they were mean, and ---
ANYA: I felt like we were being watched, like a wall was missing from our apartment, like there were only three walls and not a fourth wall and ---
XANDER: Giles, you gotta stop it!
GILES: Well, I am following a few leads, and --
ANYA: Plus, our number was clearly a retro pastiche that's never gonna be a breakaway pop hit.
XANDER: Work with me, British man. Give me an axe and show me where to point it.
GILES: As ever, it's not quite that simple. But I have learned something quite disturbing...
(A woman getting a parking ticket beings singing to the cop, drowning out their conversation)
WOMAN: I've been having a bad, bad day... come on, won't you put that pad away? I'm asking you, please, no! It isn't right, it isn't fair! There was no parking anywhere! I think that hydrant wasn't there! Why can't you let it go? I think I've paid more than my share, I'm just a poor girl, don't you care? ---
(she fades out as we rejoin the group)
ANYA: I don't know. One more verse of our little ditty and I woulda been lookin' for the gas can.

Or, said in a Western Pennsylvanian accent... "How 'bout dem STILLERS"!!!It’s the friendliest state I’ve ever lived in. They love they’re beer, sports and weddings.

That's what makes me an odd man out... I hate the taste of beer, and I couldn't care less about sports (well, ok, except Men's Volleyball :o )!
But you're absolutely right... the people around here are, by and large, very kind and friendly.
Even though it's not the most sophisticated of places, I wouldn't trade it for living anywhere else. And folks are actually becoming more and more progressive, as times goes by. We had a gay couple living up the block from us for a while, without a single incidence of prejudice.
Nice guys, but they've since broken up and both have moved away.

Everyone wants me to marry their daughters (and their granddaughters), too! :laugh:
The real fun will come when I invite them to MY wedding! ;) :laugh:

For those who have never attended a commitment ceremony before, those who don't know what a 'commitment ceremony' is, and those who are still wondering why there were two male names on the wedding announcements... it's highly advised that you take your sedative promptly and without question. Thank you."

When I was a receptionist my friend and I would break into song sometimes. It was really funny. In my last job I would randomly sing out loud. I sing out loud sometimes walking to work, not much lately though. Breaking into song randomly is fun, I'm going to do it more often :D :]

Heck I might start singing when I'm out in the field with the crew. Maybe "Macho Man." :lol:

[GateandGarden]

I like to break out into song and catch some stares sometimes. Actually, it seems involuntary. Like, if someone says, "I must have been crazy to..." I will start up "I must have been craaaaazy! Crazy to wait on you, baby...turned around and..." It's like Damn it! You said it and now I have to do this!
