Yes, this! I tend to forget about The Jungle Book for some reason, and "Bare Necessities" is about the only song I usually remember...but this is absolutely what AJ and Kaley were referencing. Not sure how I missed this, because it seems obvious now...but thank you so much for your input!

It's the only imperfect rhyme?? Incredible. I need to rewatch and relisten. Bless Kaley McMahon.

And funnily enough, I'm watching the Jangle Ball digital ticket and I started typing this reply just as they started singing the "Golden Rule" reprise as part of a "Capitalism is the Real Villain" medley. Especially when paired with the rest of this particular medley ("Cup of Roasted Coffee" and "Tickle-Me Wiggly Jingle" from the Hatchetfield shows), the reprise really holds its own as a cynical villain song, not just a twisted mirror to the original.

StarKid and Musical Score #2

Pop culture parodies tread fine lines to avoid copyright violations, especially when it comes to music. Some go for a certain mood or genre to evoke the source. Holy Musical B@man! is a great example. Nick Gage and Scott Lamps used strictly synthesizer and an electronic drum kit. They made great use of the standard synthesizer sound, calling to mind ‘80s new wave electronic music; a darker electric guitar sound to capture the gritty Batman from The Dark Knight or The Killing Joke; and light and playful bell tones, representing the innocence of Robin or perhaps the campy silliness of the ‘60s Batman TV show.

When it’s a parody musical of a musical, the challenge is even greater. Enter Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier.

Today's installment of nonsese gifs I made on my phone during Rewatchers1000:

Such a raw line, and it's from a musical about bugs in space

[melchron]

I love walking around in my blue headband like "hehe they don't know I'm secretly a bug from bug planet using this human body who was found in cryostasis as a vessel to fit in with them"

Rewatchers with a Thousand Eyes - Week 4: Holy Musical Batman!

The Rogues + Their Comics Counterparts

"Your police force is inept and useless. Your elected officials are as corrupt as they are stupid. And your judicial system is nothing more than an elaborate hoax run by the very fat cat crooks it was created to destroy."

This is a quote from a Batman parody musical. Wtf.

[gotta-get-back-to-hatchetfield]

Kick it up a notch my beloved. The starship soundtrack is 28 minutes long and at least 7 minutes of that is kick it up a notch

I don’t care what anyone says this is the most important relationship in this show

[paladinnether]

i wonder if joey richter is still crying in there

[blueskiesandstarrynights]

Watching avpm is just "haha wow they really want us to get invested in a romance between Quirrel and voldemort?? Pfftt" and then 2 hrs later find yourself crying over the phrase "okay is wonderful" and realizing they did, in fact, get you invested in a romance between Quirrel and voldemort.

My favorite quote from Starship. I think about it too often.

[hatchetfieldtheories]

For anyone who wasn't here for this last time, Rewatchers1000 was a weekly "event" where we would all watch a specific Starkid, TCB or Shipwrecked show at some point in the week, and then spend the rest of the week talking about/ making posts/content for the show.

For an idea of some of the fab stuff that came from it last year, so a tumblr search for #Rewatchers1000

If it runs I am changing it up a bit to 2021 - so it won't just be the same again

[andilostyou]

So uhh happy this is way too overwhelming for a Tuesday

[melchron]

Ok but can Lin-Manuel do this
