::laughs:: Evidently, I wasn’t the only one to attempt a musical adaptation of “Men at Arms”. Join me in laughing my head off at “Walt Disney Presents: Discworld”. Found in issue 26 of Discworld Monthly, and continued in 27 and 30.
A snippet:
Angua: he’s such a nice boy
but I have to be coy
because he’ll never understand
when he reaches for my hand
and finds that it’s a… paw!it ain’t easy being me,
it ain’t easy having PLT,
it ain’t easy when the moon’s in your eye,
and you’re there with your guy
and you rip out his throat with one bite
that’s not polite
Highly amusing. Which reminds me of another recent dream: a “Forbidden Broadway” spoof of Men At Arms, which featured people dressed up as me and Terry Pratchett, singing about how if I ever tried to write another Discworld musical, they’d sue the pants off me. All to the tune of “Too Much to Lose”, the song that I posted the first verse of a few weeks ago, only to have two people comment (but I’m not bitter, no!). Particularly badly written line was “If she tries to write another one, I know I’ve got to refuse. The Discworld and musicals: they’ve both got too much too lose.” ::sigh:: All I want for Christmas is a life…
