Happy Belated Birthday

[janne_d]

to torakowalski, quite the most wonderful, encouraging and fabulously funny beta anybody could have.

This is not an unbirthday fic, but merely a piece of crack I came up with whilst recovering from the Stomach Bug of Doom.




to the tune of Going Through the Motions

City of Atlantis:
Every thousand years, I scan the spectrum
Searching through the galaxy
Still I never feel that old connection
There’s nobody left who’s made for me.
I’ve been here alone for such a long time
Just hoping they’ll return
And that they’ll

Raise me from the ocean
Give me back the sky
Remind me what it feels like to fly.

I was made to love and live for people
Now I’m full of salt and foam
I could not protect them from the evil
So they left me down here all alone…

Old Elizabeth: Like I’m made of stone?

City: You don’t count, don’t moan.

Whales: She’s so very sad and we’re not glad
In fact we feel quite bad
But she’s just lost here in the ocean
Waiting for the dawn

Old Elizabeth: Waiting for the ancients to...*yawn*

City: Will I stay down here forever
Forgetting all my life’s endeavours

Old Elizabeth: I’m so tired...

City: Then sleep, whatever,
I don’t want to be

Trapped beneath the ocean
Noone here who’s real
But still down here I lie
They left me for the sky
And I just want someone I
Can feel.


violins soar, whales circle mournfully, a galaxy away John Sheppard flips a coin...

Bwhahahaha! Oh my God, my sides, I think you broke me with this.

I'm going to have to put on my Buffy soundtrack now :P

Hehe brilliant! *sings to herself* :)

Cool. I had to keep singing bits of it to make sure it vaguely scanned - got some very odd looks from the cats!

Told you it was crack! I wish I could think of something SGA-ish to tie the rest of the songs to - can't you just see Rodney and Radek doing I'll Never Tell?

*giggles* And Elizabeth in the gateroom seeing them off singing "Standing".

...

Ooh, and all of them in the meeting room doing "I've Got a Theory".

*shushes now*

That was really funny! And the saddest part is that I could sing along to every word of it because I have managed to see Once More with Feeling so many times that I can probably perform the whole thing myself without a written script. Thanks for sharing!

Hey, I wrote this without once having to look up the real words to the song! You aren't the only one who knows that epi by heart, believe me.
There's a really funny Lord of the Rings version somewhere as well...
