The Mummy Karaoke Lounge Returns
Quite the annoying little story, isn't
it? Oh well. Inspiration: half time at the super bowl... I don't remember which
one it was, but Aerosmith, and Britney Spears and *NSYNC were all there, so
maybe one of you will know which one it is. For some reason, Shrek, Carson
Daly, the Sumo Wrestlers, and Weezer make an appearance. Don't ask.
Disclaimers: I don't own The Mummy. I
do not own any of the songs. I don't own Weezer. Pat and Rivers own themselves.
I don't own Shrek. I don't own Carson Daly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Camera comes down from the
"sky," pans onto the top of the gold pyramid in the midst of the
oasis, and shows Rick on guitar, Ardeth on bass, and Imhotep on drums. Even in
the night, the pyramid glistens, perhaps because of the spotlights playing over
it. A bunch of pygmies screamed, waving spears around, and jumping up and down.
Rick half shouted, half sang (really?) into the mic:
Hey... Ja Ja Jaded
He paused, falshed a grinn, erupting
more cheers, then continued:
You got your mama's style
But you're yesterday's child to me
So Jaded
You think that's where it's at
But is that where it's 'sposed to be
You're gettin' it all over me
Ex-er-ated
Ardeth and Imhotep joined in, but
Imhotep stopped mid-word, looked confused, wondered what the hell he was
saying, since he didn't speak english.
My my baby blue
Yeah I been thinkin' 'bout you
My my baby blue
Yeah you're so Jaded
And I'm the one that Jaded you
More cheers erupt from the pygmies, and
Jonathan edges away from the crowd fearfully, looking at the pygmies
suspiciously. Don't get caught in a crowd of rabid fans... especially if they
have weapons like those mean-looking spears, he thought. Alex, standing next to
his uncle, being the little boy he was, stared at the spears in awe.
"Wow! Uncle Jon, look at
this!" he said, grinning. He reached out and tried to take a spear, but
Jonathan grabbed his hand.
"No, please don't," Jonathan
said. Alex grinned, and laughed at his uncle. Jonathan cowered in the corner.
The song ended, and Rick bowed, Ardeth
drew his scimitar, waved it around, getting cheers from the crowd. "Ooh!
Shiny big sword!" Evy hopped up on the "stage," wearing a shirt
that was a pink, fine bit of nothing, and jeans torn in the knees, while new
music started. Flames shot out, accidently singing Anck-su-Namun and the
Scorpion King who both cried out and fell over on eachother, and background
dancers began to dance around to the beat. Evy whispered into the mic, "I
know I may be young... but," she grinned and giggled. "I've got
feelings too, and I need to do what I feel like doin'... so let me go, and just
listen," she began to sing after this, shaking her hips:
All you people look at me like I’m a
little girl.
Well did you ever think it be okay for
me to step into this world.
Always saying little girl don’t step
into the club.
Well I’m just tryin’ to find out why
cause dancing’s what I love.
Get it get it, get it get it (Evy:
WHOOOA)
Get it get it, get it get it (Evy:
WHOOOOOA... whispering:Do you like it?)
Get it get it, get it get it (Evy:
OOOHHHH.... whispering:This feels good) She beckoned with a finger for Rick to
come on stage. He stood, mouth agape, then went to her. She danced, mesmerizing
him, until she looked at him. "Helllloooo? Rick!" Rick seemed to
realize something. "Oh, uh, yeah." They started to dance, but Evy
still seemed angry at Rick for forgetting his cue.
I know I may come off quiet, I may come
off shy.
But I feel like talking, feel like
dancing when I see this guy.(wink at Rick)
What’s practical is logical. What the
hell, who cares?
All I know is I’m so happy when you’re
dancing there.
I’m a slave for you. I cannot hold it;
I cannot control it.
I’m a slave for you. I won’t deny it; I’m
not trying to hide it.
After this, the fans from the original
karaoke lounge in Hamunaptra show up, boo Evy saying "Sista, Rick is
MINE!" They try to run after Rick, screaming "I love you!" but
he escapes, looking very shocked indeed. Evy glares at him, and he asks, voice
cracking "What?" Evy shakes her head, as the guys in black tee shirts
start to fight over who gets to push the button that starts the next
music."Uh-uh Bob! You got to push the shiny red button last time!"
Evy looked around. "Where's Jonathan?" Jonathan is running away from
a group of pygmies. Evy sighs and turns to watch the next act.
Meela/Anck-su-Namun walks on stage,
hair still singed partly off, and smiling lopsidedly, then glares evilly at
Evy, for it was her act that burned her hair off. She shouts ancient Egyptian
obscenities at the dense, irritating black tee shirt guys, who are still
arguing over who gets to push the button. "No way, Bill! Get your fat ass
away from the button!" She throws one of those knifes from TMR at them,
and they duck. Bob reaches out and pushes the button. Bill looks at him evilly.
Anck starts to sing and dance:
Ooh, I don't want, I don't need
I can't stand no minute man
I don't want no minute man
Ooh, here's your chance
Be a man, take my hand
Understand
I don't want no minute man
.
Oh, oh, uh, ooh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, uh, ooh
Oh, oh
.
Boy I'ma make you love me
Make you want me
And I'ma give you
Some attention, tonight
Follow my intuitions
Cus what you're wishin'
See I'ma keep you up all night...
For a long time
Just start countin' the ways...
Imhotep grins, just knows she's singing
to him, as she's grinning like an idiot at him. People in the crowd shake their
butts to the rhythm. (Jonathan is still running away from those crazy pygmy
fans, by the way). Finally that blasted song ends (hate that song!), and the
next fight over the button starts. Imhotep and Anck start making out backstage,
but Rick shoots a gun dangerously closer, causing Imhotep to remember that he
must go on again, and he curses in Ancient Egyptian. An anouncer walks on
stage, in front of the band, and shouts, "Hey! Now, for an encore
presentation from Creature!" Ardeth hangs his head in regret for the name.
Alex rushes up and pushes the button before either Bob or Bill can get to it,
and laughs at their reaction. Sumo wrestlers begin to dance around on stage,
and Rick starts playing hard guitar. After several beats (y'know, the little
bum bum bum bum part), he begins to sing:
Uh
I can't help my feelings
I'll go out of my mind
These players come to get me
'Cause they'd like my behind
I can't love my business
If I can't get a trick
Down on Santa Monica
Where tricks are for kids
Imhotep and Ardeth join (just on
Oh):Oh, come on and kick me
Oh, come on and kick me
Rick solo again:Come on and kick me
You've got your problems
I've got my ass wide
You've got your big G's
I've got my hash pipe
Suddenly, Weezer comes on stage. More
cheers erupt, twice as loud. Weezer looks around, yells in surprise at the
pygmies, who want their autographs, but are waving the spears around in a
seemingly menacing way. Rick stops playing. "Is there a problem, uh,
gentlemen?" he asks, looking the guys over. Rivers puffs out his chest,
and steps up. "Yeah. This is our song, and these are our Sumor
Wrestlers."
"Koontash da nai," Imhotep
said. Pat burst out laughing. Rivers looked at him oddly.
"What'd he say?" he asked.
Pat shook his head, chuckling.
"He says your face looks like the
sumo wrestler's ass..." Pat said, still guffawing. Rivers raised both
hands, and made a very rude sign indeed at Imhotep. Imhotep did the mouth
thing, and all of Weezer screamed like girls. Rick pushed Imhotep's jaw back
up.
"Man, that's so gross!" he
shouted. Imhotep shrugged. Weezer took the guitars, and sang the song much
better, and everyone cheered. Rick was fuming.
The song died away, and the screen
faded out, to Shrek and Carson Daly hosting "MTV's 20 stupidest
moments."
"Well, that was a doozy,"
Shrek said in that cute Scottish brouge. Carson nodded, eyes growing wide.
"About that pyramid, do you think they may be componsating for
something?" He chuckled, but Carson didn't seem to get it. Shrek shook his
head. "No one ever gets that one!"
Suddenly, a group of un-dead priests
from Imhotep's cult storm the TRL studios, one looking strangely like Regis
Philbin, making Shrek and Carson scream like girls, and then someone says
"commercial!"
That cheezy music starts, and people
are singing "Wendy's late night!" In the distance, you can hear a
loud screaming that sounds vaguely like Jonathan as he runs away from the
pygmies with the spears...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well... that was fun to write,
obviously, but lets see if how many people flame it...
