The musical adaptation of War of The Worlds will never not be funny to me. Like, yeah H.G. was onto something good but what this novel really needs is a sick guitar solo.

This is so fucking brain rot dont give gen z media from the 70s they will ruin it

The Artillery Man from Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds (voiced by David Essex) would absolutely be a tumblr sexy man. It's the trauma and delusional himbo optimism, as well as Essex's lovely accent. Listen to the track Brave New World. More than the tumblr sexy man of it all, its also just a brilliantly lovely and human moment in the musical. Two men running from martians, who saw each others' supposed deaths, reunite in saftety and the narrator listens to the artillary man's grand ideas in quiet amusement and pity - and then they play games, an activity the narrator admits in the tone of someone who knows the ludicrousy of such a thing in their ongoing apocolypse.

ok so Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds kinda fucking slaps, why did nobody tell me earlier?

[its-a-hare-pom-pom]

Jeff Wayne’s musical version of War Of The Worlds should not be as funky as it is. Mate people are getting burnt alive by Martians this should not have such a good baseline. The Artilleryman And The Fighting Machine is one of the funkiest pieces but every song in this album about an alien invasion should play at a disco

every few years im reminded that the war of the worlds stage show exists which is never good because i always find something new to hate about it
