Novacom: The Musical!! (AKA "The Sound of Radio Waves")

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

Novacom: The Musical!! (AKA "The Sound of Radio Waves")

Post by Leonard Meltsner »

I randomly came up with this little verse tonight, showing what The Sound of Music would sound like if hostilely taken-over by Andromeda Inc.

"Arthur Dent's muffins and speedy car chases,
Hackers, spies, guns, bombs, and telephone traces,
CD's being tracked with hi-tech homing rings,
These are a few of my favourite things."

Who knows, maybe I'll write excerpts from other songs...? Time will tell!

BONUS! Here's what Les Misérables would sound like taken over by No Way Out:

Look down, and see, your broken leg below,
Look up, and know, none can hear you bellow,
Look 'round, and see, a man who thinks you're fine,
You're trapped inside, 3-18-99

One last one, here's The Music Man taken over by everyone's favourite bad guy, Mr. DBD himself...

"Oh Mr. R Edwin Blackgaard's twin is, coming into town,
I think I'll go find someplace safe to hide.
Oh yes, Dr. Regis Blackgaard's back and scheming something big,
And I don't want to be here for the ride.

Dangerous elements have quarantined Whit's End.
I heard that Philip Glossman's back here in town,
Someone is vandalizing buildings all over,
I've got a hunch that Dr. B is why we're so run-down.

Oh Mr. R Edwin Blackgaard's twin is, coming into town,
I think I'll go find someplace safe to hide.
Oh yes, Dr. Regis Blackgaard's back and scheming something big
So I'll run before this thing hits high tide.

Oh yes, he must be stopped before he goes worldwide."

Thanks! If I think of some more of my favourite musicals, I'll do ones for GRC, maybe Leonard Meltsner arcs.

She left many of us behind. She left us heartbroken. And though we cry now there'll come a time when we'll laugh. Because we'll see her again someday. We'll be with her in heaven. And when we go to heaven she'll be there to greet us. She'll be there to say "Welcome home." -From a poem that SnC wrote about her grandmother

West Side Story could work, or the Lion King would be fun.

Here's verse 2 of The Sound of Radio Waves:
"Ransacked apartments and radio towers
Government secrets and bright yellow flowers,
Plans to make Charles and the Chairman both kings,
These are a few of my favourite things."

-- Sat Sep 24, 2011 1:23 pm --

VERSE 3!!! Almost done!

"Witness protection and Whit's End, Connellsville,
Secret passwords like Red Herring and Blue Gill,
Please write to us at Colorado Springs,
These are a few of my favourite things."

Haha, those are great!! I especially like the spoofs off of Sound of Music, since that's the only musical out of the three that I know. They're all great though.
