[somethingspecial]

I would like someone -- anyone -- to give me a song request.

[No, she's totally serious.]

I do not care how asinine it is or how ridiculously bad the song is. Give it to me and I will sing it, free of charge or favor, in order to make this situation seem a little less horrendous and a little bit brighter.

[There's something of a huffed sigh.]

At this juncture, I would even sing Call Me Maybe so long as it was doing something of use.

[the_good_doctor]

A worthy endeavour, Miss.

Is Jerusalem in your repertoire, by chance?

[video]

[somethingspecial]

The hymn, right?

[At least, she's taking a guess.]

[video]

[the_good_doctor]

That is correct.

[video]

[somethingspecial]

Then I can certainly sing that. I hope you don't mind it being acapella? I could find a recording of the instrumental within the library somewhere if you would prefer background music.

voice OR ACTION IF THEY'RE STILL TOGETHER.

[showbizpanache]

Let's hear it, then.

ACTION WHY NOT

[somethingspecial]

[Rachel tosses him something of a look before she cracks a smile, clearing her throat.

Carly Rae Jepsen is serious business.

She sings in a light and high soprano, airy and fun, focusing her power to try and lighten the mood a little bit.]

I threw a wish in the well, don't ask me, I'll never tell, I looked to you as it fell, and now you're in my way. I'd trade my soul for a wish, pennies and dimes for a kiss, I wasn't looking for this, but now you're in my way.

[showbizpanache]

[He joins in. Why the hell not?]

Your stare was holdin', ripped jeans, skin was showin', hot night, wind was blowin', where you think you're goin' baby?

[rules_the_north]

Th't song 's bad?

[The title sounds a bit weird, but not that much...]

[somethingspecial]

It's not bad, necessarily, just horrendously overplayed.

[rules_the_north]

Why?

[How did it get that famous?]

[video]

[mccallmemaybe]

Please don't sing that song...

Are you a singer or something? [ Stupid question. Does he remind her of Finn yet? ]

[video]

[somethingspecial]

If I weren't a singer, why would I be offering to sing?

[With the patient tone of someone who explains things to people very slowly very often.

Like Finn.

Sigh.]

[video]

[mccallmemaybe]

...I see your point.

Are you any good?

[voice]

[caputlupinum]

I don't think I've ever heard of Call Me Maybe. Is it really so bad?

[voice]

[somethingspecial]

It isn't that it's bad so much as I hear it at least twelve times any given day.

[voice]

[caputlupinum]

In that case I can see why you might tire of it.

[deputychief]

Ah, I don't know that many Western songs, but I do believe I heard one song. I believe its title was... hm... "Macarena," isn't that right?

[somethingspecial]

[ . . . ]

Do you have any other requests?

video;

[deputychief]

I couldn't think of one offhand, no.

[minifridge]

Do you like the Beatles?

voice;

[somethingspecial]

I love the Beatles and I have the entire discography learned and memorized, though I must confess that my friend Kurt is more proficient in the art of performing their work.

I could certainly sing one for you, though, if you wish.

voice;

[minifridge]

"In My Life"?

[After a pause, she supplies-]

It's my mom's favorite.

[video]

[fishdouche]

If you wwanted to be "of use," you should a' picked up a gun or helped the injured instead a'makin' those ridiculously high pitched offensivve noises that are probably distractin' people actually doin' real wwork.

[Yeah, sorry. Eridan's not exactly known for his tact.]

[video]

[somethingspecial]

[ s t a r e ]

For starters, I sing like an angel.

Secondly, I am not going to shoot people simply because some strange alien told me that I should.

And third, who are you?

[video]

[fishdouche]

Eridan Ampora, Prince a'Hope. [It's a rather fantastic title, really.]

I'm just pointin' out that if you wanted to be of "some use," wwhich is more than the rest a'your pathetic species could evver aspire to be, then you might want to consider actually doin' somethin'.

An', yeah, you definitely sound like an angel. Obnoxious screechin' an' all.
