(I am posting this in various forums to get an overview)

I got this idea after playing Both Jerry Zinger and Hublepot in tandom. Although the pauses might take some intricate scripting and it would require some good voice work, hows about someone do a new (modding) take on the story and make the adventure a musical?

Iranicus singing - "The spawn and I"
Minsc and Boo (Duet) - "Hampster love makes for furry friends"
Viconia - "Respect me now for I am Drow"

Et all.

Oh, if you all don't like my idea? Be thankful I can't figure out a way to make avitars DANCE!

[Jyzabyl]

Only if it includes a chorus line of Modder's singing "WeiDU we do it?"

[Chevalier]

Evil!!!

[Cantrip]

Sweet!

"Aerie - the Opera"

[Archmage Silver]

And Jan singing: "... the turnips were eaten by meeeeee! Burp."

[NiGHTMARE]

If someone does decide to take this on, I highly recommend attempting to recruit Shadowhawke. She's done some excellent songs and poems for LoI .

[Jyzabyl]

How about the cast of BGII take on "The Rocky Horror Show"?

Featuring -
Terminsal as the Narrator
Aerie as Janet
Anomen as Brad
Keldorn as Frank'n'Furter
Minsc as Rocky
Edwin as Riff Raff
Jaheira as Magenta
Imoen as Columbia
and Haer D'alis as Eddie

All Together Now...

"When Haer D said he didn't like his Teddy
You knew he was a no good kid
But when he threatened your life with Entropy and Strife

What a Guy

Makes you Cry

Und I did

Haer.... DDDDD!"

Nooo, images of Keldorn as Frank'n'Furter! How could you unleash that on the innocent public?

[Tyrmer]

Hmm a few song ideas:

Hidden One/Any Other Random Illithid I'm Singing in the (B)rain
Edwina I'm A Boy
Aerie Come Fly With Me
Viconia (Romance) If I Only Had a Heart
Minsc If I Only Had a Brain
Aerie (Again) (Whatever It Is The Lion Sings)
Firkragg Great Balls of Fire
Golem In The Sphere Iron Man
Druggies in Copper Coronet Sweet leaf

I'll add some more later.

"Oh my, a clever trick. One that my nephew Tim Jansen would pay a pretty penny for. He's in the theater you know. One of his favorite roles requires him to dress...ahem...ahem...as a female gnome and sing and dance on stage. It is a little embaressing for him, but as you know artists are required to sacrifice for their craft."

"Oh, and what is the musical called?" Charname asks innocently. He ignores the shushing motions of the others. Nalia was still a bit down after the revelations of last night and this morning. Jan was the perfect answer to a low mood.

"I forget what it is called, all I can remember is some of the songs...one goes like this...

'A sweet trans-sexual frommmmm Turnip-vania!"

And I think I remember a line from the showstopper song...

'Let's do the Timestop again! Let's do the Timestop again!
You gotta put your hands on your hips, you gotta shake it again,again,again,again,again,
Let's do the Timestop again! Let's do the Timestop again!'"

"I got it! It was the 'Turnip Horror Picture Show!'" Jan smiled as he finally remembered the name of the musical. "Poor laddie, he just doesn't have the legs to wear fishnet black stockings. I really can't think of a gnome I know of, by the way, that looks good in fishnet black stockings. Not even the female gnomes. Our legs are just too short. Why, gnomish legs are too short to even put them on properly. Timmy has fallen down more than once on stage tripping over the wads of fishnet hanging over his feet. Of course, the 6 inch stiletto heels on his pumps didn't help matters any. And the rest of his outfit is just shameful. My, what sacrifices he has to make for his art!"

"And what did the rest of his outfit look like?" Charname really hated to do this, but Jan's story brought a grin to Nalia's face, and Charname wanted that grin to grow into a smile.

"He was strapped into this black, lace corset, with little poofy pink bunnies and teddybears embroidered on it. And a shocking pink tu-tu. The worst part is when they lace Timmy up in the corset, it compresses his manly, gnomish belly so folds of his skin spill out over the top of the corset. Makes him look like he was the victim of a botched belly tuck." Jan replied with a grin.

"Groan!!!" The party managed a chorus.

"These days Timmy is doing the 'Turnip named Desire', at least that's what Aunt Beloo wrote the last time I received a letter from her. Interesting love story, it is the story of an adventurer who falls in love and settles down. The adventurer is a female half elven druid, and she settles down with the character Timmy plays, a gnome around town, who is down on his luck. Their love saves both of them, and they live happily ever after surrounded by their six children." Jan smiles fondly.

"And just what is the name of the half-elven druid?" Jaheira asks dangerously.

"Why, I think her name in the play is Aurora, Aurora Dawn, which of course changes to Aurora Jansen in the play." Jan replies.

"I don't understand something, Jan. I mean a gnome is pretty short, no offense, and unless the part of Aurora is played by another gnome, the kissing scenes would look...you know, odd?" Nalia asks this with a grin on her face.

"Ah, lass, you reckon without the sponsers of the play. Jansen Industries, of course. The Actress who plays Aurora is a half elf, just like the script calls for, but Tim uses the Jansen Stepladder of Love. Its a wonderful device, made of light tubular steel, and weighs almost nothing. A member of the vertically challenged races, like halflings, and dwarves and of course gnomes, can simply carry one to his or her lover. And a simple flick of the wrist, the stepladder can unfold, and the gnome, halfling or dwarf simply runs up the ladder, and can thus kiss a member of the taller races. Being picked up for a kiss is simply embarressing." Jan smiles benignly.

Just to let you know, i've offered my songs to blue. Be afraid, be very afraid...

Beat this :

Irenicus [Sings][Eyes of Horror by Mystic Circle]:

Peer into the eyes of horror
So dark and cold
Will follow you, till life has run out

Peer into the eyes of death
Playing with your fear
Trying to dishearten till the last step

You think you're strong, but feeble you are
Your narcism won't keep revenge at bay
You think you're smart can avoid it all
Your guillibility will make you vulnerable

Dark and cold are the eyes of horror
Sublime the claws of death
Mystic and dangerous the eyes of horror
Pulling you like a magnet

Look into the eyes of deceit
Their promise false, only want your soul for a perverted game
Look into the eyes of darkness, can you withstand?
Concealing the lust and the joy of hell

You say you're the greatest, but you're nothing
A wailing shadow without personality
You say you're brave, stand up and fight
The great war against the church lies ahead

Look into the eyes of greed, they promise much
Suck your blood till death creeps upon you
Look into the eyes of insanity, don't get to near
Don't get to near, they'll burn you faster than you can run

You think you're mighty, control is yours
Only a marionette in their game
You think you're sublime, no one can hurt you, they
breed you till desolation

Edwin answers [Singing][Better Than You by Swans]:

I'm so glad I'm better than you,
I'm so glad I'm better than you are.
I'm so glad I'm better than you,
I'm so glad I'm better than you are.
Sit here. Now look in the mirror -
Something's wrong, your face is distorted.
Feel the flow: there's blood in your body.
And you can see clearly every heartbeat you make.
Close your eyes, touch your mouth in the mirror -
That's the wound that is made where the past meets the future.
I'm so glad I'm better than you,
I'm so glad I'm better than you are.
I can see clearly through this veil of reality.
And I can remember the feel of your skin.
No you never knew me and you never will
When nothing's there, nothing is concealed.
I'm so glad I'm better than you,
I'm so glad I'm better than you are.
I'm so glad I'm better than you,
I'm so glad I'm better than you are.

Jansen & His Numerous Relatives [Singing][Shut Em' Down by Public Enemy]

I testified
My mama cried
Black people died
When the other man lied
See the TV, listen to me double trouble
I overhaul and I'm comin'
From the lower level
I'm takin' tabs
Sho nuff stuff to grab
Like shirts it hurts
Wit a neck to wreck
Took a poll 'cause our soul
Took a toll
From the education
Of a TV station
But look around
Hear go the sound of the wreckin' ball
Boom and Pound
When I
Shut 'em down
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
What I use in the battle for the mind
I hit it hard
Like it supposed
Pullin' no blows to the nose
Like uncle L said I'm rippin' up shows
Then what it is
Only 5 percent of the biz
I'm addin' woes
That's how da way it goes
Then U think I rank never drank, point blank
I own loans
Suckers got me runnin' from the bank
Civil liberty I can't see to pay a fee
I never saw a way to pay a sap
To read the law
Then become a victim of a lawyer
Don't know ya, never saw ya
Tape cued
Gettin' me sued
Playin' games wit' my head
What the judge said put me in the red
Got me thinkin' 'bout a trigger to the lead
No no
My education mind say
Suckers gonna pay
Anyway
There gonna be a day
'Cause the troop they roll in
To posse up
Whole from the ground
Ready to go
Throw another round
Sick of the ride
It's suicide
For the other side of town
When I find a way to shut 'em down
Who count the money
In da neigborhood
But we spendin' money
To no end lookin' for a friend
In a war to the core
Rippin' up the poor in da stores
Till they get a brother
Kickin' down doors
Then I figure I kick it bigger
Look 'em dead in the eye
And they wince
Defense is pressurized
They don't want it to be
Another racial attack
In disguise so give some money back
I like Nike but wait a minite
The neighborhood supports so put some
Money in it
Corporations owe
Dey gotta give up the dough
To da town
or else
We gotta shut 'em down

[Plasmocat]

Which reminds me ... what ever happened to that Irenicus dance mix? You'd have to include that, or a variation!

(UU ... Suddenly "dwarf tossing" means something entirely different to me now )

[minotaur_in_maze]

I am glad you all seem to like this Idea, because I have an Announcement:

IT WILL HAPPEN!

I am talking to Userfriendly (Late of the Jerry Zinger Mod) and he is interested in writing songs. As the coding will mainly be pauses in game (or cutscenes?) I can do THAT much coding more or less accurately)
I have a Keldorn, possibly a Nalia and Moi will be doing Jan.

More updates as needed.

Minotaur - In rehersal!

THE HIIIIILLLLLLLLSSSS ARE A--LIVE; WITH THE SOUND OF DRA-GONS! (For Windspear quest)

[Jyzabyl]

Ohh Goodie!!!!

Can we get a group of the boys to serenade Edwina with a rousing chorus of "There is nothing like a Dame"?

Edited by Jyzabyl, 08 November 2005 - 03:57 PM.

[Kaeloree]

Keldorn! *swoons* lets just hope I'm up for it. *practices singing with an english accent worriedly*

but yaaay!

[minotaur_in_maze]

FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

This mod now has official (by me anyway) go ahead.

I have worked a deal with (Member) Userfriendly (Of late writing/helping of the Wonderful Jerry Zinger Mod) and he is going to be writing many of the songs.

WE NEED VOICES!!!

We have filled JAN and KELDORN and Possibly Nalia (though that still remains to be seen) but need singers. Please contact me or Userfriendly if you are interested.

I will be in and out for the next month or so. I am off on a business trip to the USA and will be checking in every so often. I WILL be a writing fool however, as the coding seems easier for this one than for my ongoing headache...er..NPC

Please enjoy.

I'd like to preorder front row seats if I may. I've always loved a good musical.

Maybe its just me but don't you think this is all getting a bit out of hand. We've had Hubble and Zinger do we really need another one? I like a laugh just as much as the next hobbit but all these ideas are getting a bit silly, oh well said what I think, just kick the soapbox from under my feet.

I'd be available to do a good voice of aerie singing the 'hills are alive with the sound of magic'

LOL Sounds great! I'll take one ticket, please! It's bound to be good if UUs orchestrating the songs...
