Movie Music/What If...? - classicdrogn - 08-19-2005
What if the movie "Weird Science" was a Disney animated musical? The characters would be furries, of course, and the locations would probably be much more sectacular... then there's tis little peice of pain:
the Oingo Boingo theme song, hammered into the tune for "When You Wish Upon a Star." It doesn't even take much more than adding a couple of words to every third line and repeating the verses the right numbe rof times, and the break line twice for the longer WS chorus. Go ahead, sing it over the music provided here.
The bind moggles.
Plastic tubes and pots and pans, lots of bits and pieces and
Magic from the hand Were makin
Weird science
Things Ive never seen before, hidden behind bolted doors
Talent and imagination
Weird science
Not what teacher said to do, yeah we're makin dreams come true
Living tissue and warm flesh
It's weird science
(bits of my creation--is it real?
Its my creation--i do not know)
(No hesitation--no heart of gold
Just flesh and blood--i do not know)
From my heart and from my hand, why dont people understand
My intentions . . . . oooh, weird . . . .
It's Weird science!!
Magic and technology, voodoo dolls and ancient chants
Electricity; Were makin
Weird science
Fantasy and microchips, ray guns shooting from the hip
Something different; Were makin
Weird science
Pictures from a magazine, body diagrams and charts
Mending broken hearts (and makin)
Weird science
(sigh)
(Spoken, wistful: Something like a recipe...)
If the original version supercharges Doug's 'enchant an object under construction' skills, I have to wonder what this slower tempo version would do - if it's reasonably close to similar, the longer effect might be quite handy.

Yes, you may dare.
Actually, it's documented in one of the "canonical" song lists on the forums somewhere. It allows him to perform high-speed technomagical kitbashing, but requires all the parts to be handy (i.e., within the area of effect).

Quote:Ah, my memory was mistaken, then. This version would definitely not be about speed, but perhaps it could eb useful for adding the finishing touches that make whatever it is really magical instead of only a bit magical.
Um, that's not quite what it does, no...
Assuming Doug didn't find it as muich of a travesty as it seemed to me when the damn thing started running through my head.
