Seeing as I've just done "Be Our Guest" for the third time, I thought I'd get everyone else in on this...

This is such a gem of a song to parody, it should be kind of fun

If your take on the US election result ain't the same, please feel free to argue in the "Mrs Potts" bit ;)

Bits still to do are bold...

Lumiere:
Mes chèrs Democrats, it is with deepest grumpiness
and great displeasure that we welcome you tonight.
And now we invite you to kvetch ... let us swallow a
barrel of Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, and Elavil as the whining room loudly presents -
your depression!

I'm depressed
I'm depressed
'Cause Bush won, now who'd have guessed
That this microcranial moron could have beaten all the rest
Time to say
USA
Has gone the wrong "right" way
I'm decidedly un-merry
That the winner wasn't Kerry
And he lost his best chance
('Cause he looks like he's from France?)
And the right-wing dirty tricks, they were the best
And I'm quite disgusted
That he went and lost it
I'm depressed
So depressed
I'm depressed

We're depressed!
We're depressed!
Get some Prozac from the chest
U.S.A. has gone astray
Some say "Hooray, our Bush is best!"
But they're wrong! He's a goof!
Three shing-les short of a roof!
He's a weasel and a whiner
Got a brain that's Made in China
It's no joke!  That dude's sick!
He's a yellow preppy_prick !

And he's full of toxic waste
That you can bet!
Come on that stiff's an_ass
He's won a four-year pass,
And we're depressed!

It's no jest!
Will Bush pass Tecumseh's test?

We protest! Such unrest! We're depressed!
Too much worry to digest!
USA has lost its way,
And I must say, Bush we detest.
Empty head! Full of poop!
On his futon rooting troops. (rooting for, that is)
We believe Kerry's much finer,
Bush deceived us, bastard liar.

Sending more navy seals,
Don't serve pretzels for his meals!
How could President be stupid as a quest?
He'll make you shout "Make war!"
Pretend it's in the law.
And make the west...
Dispossessed...
We're depressed!!!

Mrs Potts:
Should've guessed! Should've guessed!
Someone lied, Forsook the rest!
Whining more in 2004
And I'm feeling utterly depressed
Can't blame you, can't blame me
Shed a tear for our country
While the judges are reviewing
I'll be steaming, I'll be stewing
I feel small, I feel lost
Higher stakes! What's the cost?
Tax me up! Now I feel utterly depressed

Chorus:
That's right, there's no excuse
Mrs Potts:
Why did he have to lose?
So we're depressed!
Chorus:
She's depressed!
Mrs Potts:
I'm depressed!
Chorus:
We're depressed!

We're depressed!  We're depressed!  We're depressed!

Lumiere:
His re-election is disturbing
A public servant who's not serving
The Right's brains are not whole, for the Right is wrong
The world's destroyed, to say the market's bull is bull!
Respect for us in the world is gone
4 long years have been disgusting
For New Zealand, I am lusting
Our allies are heading for the hills
Now King Bush lounges in his castle
Half of America's gone crazy
The skies are turning hazy

So it's fine, b*tc* and whine
When you see that four year sign
Kerry sucked and so did Bush it's just our luck
And bad design
Has no one re-a-lized
Why we're so darn polarized?
'Cause there's no one worth believing
That's why Bush won't soon be lea...ving...
Vote by vote, day by day
There must be some other way
But until this State's United, let's request
Another round of beer
And strength to face next year
Since we're depressed
We're depressed
Should have guessed
We're
ALL
DE-
PREEEEEESSED

And I thought you were writing to complain about the number of 'nameless' collobrations there have been recently!

We're depressed!
We're depressed!
Get some Prozac from the chest
U.S.A. has gone astray
Some say "Hooray, our Bush is best!"
But they're wrong! He's a goof!
Three shing-les short of a roof!
He's a weasel and a whiner
Got a brain that's Made in China

Perfect, JD :)

..though we're already getting out of sync... this bit runs between the two:

And he lost his best chance
('Cause he looks like he's from France?)
And the right-wing dirty tricks, they were the best
And I'm quite disgusted
That he went and lost it
I'm depressed
So depressed
I'm depressed

I wrote the part of Mrs. Potts:

Should've guessed! Should've guessed!
Someone lied, Forsook the rest!
Whining more in 2004
And I'm feeling utterly depressed
Can't blame you, can't blame me
Shed a tear for our country
While the judges are reviewing
I'll be steaming, I'll be stewing
I feel small, I feel lost
Higher stakes! What's the cost?
Tax me up! Now I feel utterly depressed

Out of sink?  They were dishes, ya know. ;)

Hi, Tim... glad you could join us :)

I kinda like the Lumiere part:

His re-election is distrubing
A public servant who's not serving
The Right's brains are not whole, for the Right is wrong
The world's destoryed, to say the market's bull is bull!
Respect for us in the world is gone
4 long years have been disgusting
For New Zealand, I am lusting
Our allies are heading for the hills
Now King Bush lounges in his castle
Half of America's gone crazy
The skies are turning hazy

*The line about New Zealand needs an explanation. I'm considering moving to a place that speaks English and hasn't gone along with Dubya very much. New Zealand fits the bill. "The skies are turning hazy" is a reference to Bush's environMENTAL policies.

;D I can't wait until you finish this one, guys.

I might add a verse if I get my homework done, but it looks great so far!

Phil, would you be able to put in italics the bits that have already been parodied, cuz the excerpts are as confusing as they are enjoyable, pour le moment.

Or you could put them in bold.  Or color them purple.  Or red.  Or green. Or blue.  Or you could just delete them.  Or you could hyperlink them to a porn site for no apparent reason other than to distinguish them from the others.  Or you could superscript them.  Or subscript them.  Or change their size. Or you could underline them, or make them in strikethrough.  Or you could change their font.  Or give them shadow.  Or make them MOVE!  Or replace them with numbers according to the corresponding letter.  Or you could email them to me and I could do any of the aforementioned.

Or you could completely ignore his request on grounds of HE IS A MEANIE AND I'M TELLING.  :\'(

If I may be so bold... it's probably easier to read than italics ;)

I guess this comes after Lumiere's last section

For this section:

We tell jokes! I do tricks
With my fellow candlesticks
Chorus:
And it's all in perfect taste
That you can bet
Come on and lift your glass
You've won your own free pass
To be out guest
Lumiere:
If you're stressed
It's fine dining we suggest

How about this:

It's no joke!  That dude's sick!
He's a yellow preppy_prick !

And he's full of toxic waste
That you can bet!
Come on that stiff's an_ass
He's won a four-year pass,
And we're depressed!

It's no jest!
Will Bush pass Tecumseh's test?

For this bit:

Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest!
Get your worries off your chest
Let us say for your entree
We've an array; may we suggest:
Try the bread! Try the soup!
When the croutons loop de loop
It's a treat for any dinner
Don't belive me? Ask the china
Singing pork! Dancing veal!
What an entertaining meal!
How could anyone be gloomy and depressed?
We'll make you shout "encore!"
And send us out for more
So, be our guest!
Lumiere:
Be our guest!
Chorus:
Be our guest!

We protest! Such unrest! We're depressed!
Too much worry to digest!
USA has lost its way,
And I must say, Bush we detest.
Empty head! Full of poop!
On his futon rooting troops. (rooting for, that is)
We believe Kerry's much finer,
Bush decieved us, bastard liar.

Sending more navy seals,
Don't serve pretzels for his meals!
How could President be stupid as a quest?
He'll make you shout "Make war!"
Pretend it's in the law.
And make the west...

OK... nearly finished, and only the intro to do - does anyone else feel like finishing this off?

For:

Ma chere Mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride
and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight.
And now we invite you to relax, let us pull up a
chair as the dining room proudly presents -
your dinner!

How about:

My dear Democrats, it is with deepest grumpiness
and greatest displeasure that we welcome you tonight.
And now we invite you to kvetch ... let us swallow a

Bingo! I'll post it in the Monkey Room :-)

Le voilà
