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.

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.

WildInTheWind · #20 01-08-2005, 06:17 PM

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

*no, you are not the only one

DeadliestPoison · #22 01-08-2005, 06:18 PM

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.

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

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

. Luckily nobody noticed.

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

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