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

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:

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!

I'm trying to think of a funny setting but I'm lost in other thoughts. :lol:

I can see the post office, too. Especially when it's crowded.

~*~Becky~*~

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:

That’s a good one. We could sing Mr. Postman :lol:

HA! That's the exact song that came to mind when I posted that!!!

A barber shop, but thats a bit cliche.

~*~becky~*~

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

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

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

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.

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:

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

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.

No, you're not. I do it very frequently. Life is to be enjoyed. ;)

They don't?!?!? :shocked:

Hmm... no wonder I get so many bewildered stares! :o

It's usually not my singing that draws bewildered stares, it's usually my choice of song. :laugh:

I do it very often too (without the twirls). Some days ago waiting for the train in the subway station I had a quite odd "whatsthemattababe" moment :D . Luckily nobody noticed.

Romy

OOOOOOOO - I LOVE those!!!!!!!

AND - ask anyone who has been around me for more than one minue and they will tell you I DO break out into song and often :eek: :laugh:

:lol: :laugh: :lol:
yep. I have a lot of those waiting for trains, busses...

Singing "Bess, You Is My Woman Now," at the top of your lungs, WILL have that effect! :laugh:

:lol:

I was in the office the other day and broke into Bowie's "Chant of the Ever-Circling Skeletal Family." That drew stares.

OMG - I LOVE THAT SONG - Who knew you were less than a tenor :laugh:

In certain company, "John, I'm Only Dancing" can get you a lot of stares too! It's actually quite funny. ;) :laugh:

:laugh:

I do the best karaoke version of that song evah. :wavey:

So your they guy that’s been knocking over the food carts in the hallway. :shocked: Every day the tapioca pudding ends up in my prune juice. :lol:

I’ll bet you do from what I remember of Beaver County.
:lol:

I do this all the time at work. ESPECIALLY the twirling :nod: :xoxo: :laugh: :thumbsup: :wavey:

Do you get any weird stares? :o

No, it's usually when people arent looking, or in the elevator. But the people there already think I'm strange anyways :laugh:

Oh. Heck I do that when I'm cutting farts. :nod:

:laugh:
Yeah, we're not exactly the Land Of Individuality around here. :laugh:

But it works in my favor... I can be outside of the box without even having to try very hard! :laugh:
