The Musical!

Master Shakespeare doth inform me that great success ist being made with something called 'We Will Rock You' based upon the music of Queens.

Upon further examination, we both decided that the whole production was most un-Queenly and that a new musical wast required.

Master Shakespeare ist working hard upon the plot but wudst have suggestions for songs to represent each of us when depicting memorable moments from our lives.

Anything but Anne Boleyn by Rick Wakeman, I doth detest Prog. Also I have had quite enough of the McFlea song quoted to me about my hopes dreams & a tin!
For Marie I wouldst suggest "Fotheringhay" by Fairport Convention, shouldst bring back some pleasant memories for her.
"Lady Jane" seems a natural for Jane Seymour and why the Rolling Stones wanted to waste their talents on her is beyond my conprehension.

For myself and Sweet Robyn I wudst choose the following, but will only accept the 'Disco version' for otherwise tis too soppy. I prefer something with a little fire in it.

One Night Only

You want all my love
and my devotion
You want my love and soul
right on the line
I have no doubt,
that I could love you, forever
the only trouble is
You really dont have the time

You've got one night only
one night only
thats all I have to spare
one night only
lets not pretend to care
One night only
one night only
come on, big baby come on
one night only
we only have till dawn

In the morning
this feeling will be gone
it has no chance going on
Something so right
has got no chance to live
So lets forget about chances
Its one night I will give

One night only
One night only
youll be the only one
One night only
then youll have to run
One night only
One night only
There's nothing more to say
One night only
what's got in the way

I was thinking Marie may prefer to represent her incarceration via something like this:

The Pretender

Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began

Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in...again
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are at the ready
Are you ready?
I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole...defense

Spinning infinity, boy
The wheel is spinning me
It's never-ending, never-ending
Same old story

What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?

In time our soul untold
I'm just another soul for sale... oh, well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent
We're temporary, temporary
Same old story

I'm the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face
Mirrored in your stare
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that will take you down
Bring you to your knees

So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?

Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend

What if I say I'm not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
(You know they all... pretend)
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?

So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?

My thoughts have always been that Lady Jane wast about the change over between yourself and Queen Jane, and your sister Mary's pleading for your life. Tis a most helpful choice indeed maman, I'm sure Master Shakespeare will be most pleased by it.

Lady Jane

My sweet Lady Jane
When I see you again
Your servant am I
And will humbly remain

Just heed this plea my love
On bended knees my love
I pledge myself to Lady Jane

My dear Lady Anne
I've done what I can
I must take my leave
For promised I am
This play is run my love
Your time has come my love
I've pledged my troth to Lady Jane

Oh my sweet Marie
I wait at your ease
The sands have run out
For your lady and me

Wedlock is nigh my love
Her station's right my love
Life is secure with Lady Jane

Hmmm you are absolutely right I think. Those Rolling Stones certainly had alot of wives & mistresses between them. I'm sure they were sympathetic to Henry's position!

I myself find I do deplore their lack of care of Lady Marianne and Madam Jerry Hall. ...and I find some of their choices of other women most lacking inded.

Indeed! My favorite consort is the Lady Anita Pallenberg. Amazingly she is still alive!

Elizabeth I must say you truly have a gift for such endeavors.
Yours,
Carolus Imperator

I find I hath inherited a great love of music and the arts from mine parents my lord.

Master Shakespeare hath not attempted this 'musical' thing before but I think him quite equal to the task if we do help him with appropriate music.

Most excellent.
I shall ensure Don Juan brings some suitable gifts. How feels your grace about Titian?

*gasps*

I do love the work of Titian my lord. I found myself fair jealous of thine son Philip when I saw he had been painted by the great artist. Mine sister did behold the wondrous man within the portrait, while I didst behold the wondrous brush strokes.

Very well then, I shall make you a gift of one of his works. A goodwill gesture, if you will.

My lord, you are like Christmas!

A painting and a pirate all at once!

And such wise Princely council that I hath wished for all my life.

Wilt thou not stay here in my kingdom forever? I'm sure there ist some monastery somewhere that father didst not raise to the ground that we could re-populate for you?

Fountains Abbey ist most fine indeed, we were considering it as a new Cathedral at one point. 'tis located in the north. A quiet place. Nought but trees and sheep and the like. Most picturesque. Perhaps that would do?

Perhaps. I shall make a point to visit it.

Hath come up with a song for the long and tiresome marriage negotiations mine ministers hath put me through in the past.

I Love To Hate You

Im crazy flowing over with ideas
A thousand ways to woo a lover so sincere
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers up and down my spine

For every casanova that appears
My sense of hesitation disappears
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers up and down my spine

And the lovers that you sent for me
Didnt come with any satisfaction guarantee
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read
How I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you

Oh you really still expect me to believe
Every single letter I receive
Sorry you what a shameful situation
Sending shivers up and down my spine

Oh I like to read of murder mystery
I like to know the killer isnt me
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers make me quiver
Feel it sliver up and down my spine

I find something about this song fits Marie's agressive flirtations with men in order to get her own way.

Poker Face

I wanna hold em’ like they do in Texas please
Fold em’ let em’ hit me raise it baby stay with me
(I love it)
LoveGame intuition play the cards with spades to start
And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart

I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got

Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my POKER FACE
(She's got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my POKER FACE
(She's got me like nobody)

P-P-P-POKER FACE, P-P-POKER FACE

I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me
(I love it)
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love if it’s not rough it isn't fun, fun

I won't tell you that I love you
Kiss or hug you
Cause I'm bluffin’ with my muffin
I'm not lying I'm just stunnin’ with my love-glue-gunning
Just like a chick in the casino
Take your bank before I pay you out
I promise this, promise this
Check this hand cause I'm marvelous

Thank you dearest cousin, but while your song is most accurate I believe I may have found a song that I think fits much better:

Everybody look at me, me
I walk in the door you start screaming
Come on everybody what you're here for
Move your body around like a nympho
Everybody get your neck to crack around
All you crazy people come on jump around
I wanna see you all on your knees, knees
You either wanna be with me or be me
(Come on, man)

Maneater
Make you work hard, make you spend all
Make you want all of her love
She's a maneater
Make you buy cars, make you cut cards
Make you fall real hard in love
She's a maneater
Make you work hard, make you spend all
Make you want all of her love
She's a maneater
Make you buy cars, make you cut cards
Wish you never ever met her at all

And when she walks she walks with passion
When she talks, she talks like she can handle it
When she asks for something boy, she means it
Even if you never, ever see it
Everybody get your neck to crack around
All you crazy people come on jump around
You doing anything to keep her by your side
Because she says she love you, love you long time
(Come on, man)


Come on, man

Never ever met her at all
You wish you never ever met her at all

I've been around the world I ain't ever seen a girl like this
She's a maneater, maneater

You are all so young! Has none of you ever heard of Fairport Convention? They did a song called Fotheringhay and it was all about Marie.
