bpambbergerI've been debating a fun little challenge for myself for a while - the idea of filking every song from a single Disney movie. Roobi likes Disney, and laughing, and my singing, so it'd be a nice way to combine the lot of them.
Mulan seems like a good choice, since a lot of the music isn't interrupted by random speech like in other Disney movies, and also because I've already done some of the work. I got most of the way through filking "I'll Make a Man Out of You", and at least have ideas for some others. Today's 10 minutes was spent gathering them and putting a few more touches on some.
Ideas for the project:
Honour to Us All: This could keep its name, though I could spell it in the un-Americanised way, and simply change to a mixture of SCA accomplishments and a few of the more hilarious ideas people have on what they should be proud of.
Tin of fruit, bag of chip
Big glass bottles that will never drip
Carry groceries in just one trip
I'll bring honour to us all
A Girl Worth Fighting For: Idea for this one would be a song based around Lochac's attendance and dominance at international tournaments like Pennsic. Working title: A Lochac Fighting Corp.
I'll Make a Man Out of You: The work for this one has mostly already been done, based on the College of Saint Basil the Great's lunch services offered at the annual Pencampwr weekend. Given that our regular inclusion of purple carrots to the stew tended to turn the entire thing purple, recipients quite enjoyed the taste but were unable to identify any of the components. Comments on Facebook drove me into writing this filk in just under half an hour - I'll Make a Mystery Stew. Lyrics to be posted later.
I'm sure Mulan has more songs with words, but they currently escape my memory. Maybe tomorrow I'll watch it again and call that my 10 minutes.
