"When We're Human", from The Princess and the Frog.
Interesting choice, I guess i'll have to get more creative too but I enjoy sticking to the old classics.
To bad there aren't any dwarfs at Yamaku, or are there? Hi-Ho

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what song this uses.

Griffon, it's got to be "When We're Human". I mentioned it just a post ago.

Emi's close enough.

Oh, right, not everyone has my encyclopedic knowledge of Disney music. Which actually isn't complete either, seeing as I haven't seen Tangled yet.

"I Wanna Be Like You", from The Jungle Book. Sung by Yuuko to Akira. Enjoy.

Now you're the king of the swingers
Oh, the girls love VIP
You always top until you drop
And that's what botherin' me
I wanna get a harem, 'kira
And stroll right into town
And get my pick of the women
I'm ready to start screwin' around!

Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna primp like you
Pimp like you, too
You'll see it's true
A gal like me
Can learn to be sexy too

Now don't try to kid me, 'kira
I made a deal with you
What I desire's that downstairs fire
To make my dream come true
Give me the secret, 'kira
Clue me what to do
Give me the power to deflower
So I can be like you

You!
I wanna be like you
I wanna primp like you
Pimp like you, too
You'll see it's true
Someone like me
Can learn to be
Like someone like you

Guess I didn't notice there was another page with your post.

Not that I'm at all familiar with the song anyway…

"I Wanna Be Like You", from The Jungle Book. Sung by Yuuko to Akira. Enjoy.

Oh, Akira, you naughty, naughty girl.
Should have suspected the androgynous looking red-eyed seducer in the awesome black suit to actually be some kind of lust demon.

So much is explained.

(So following that line of thought, the shy librarian girl summons a lust demon and makes a deal with it to become sexy. What could possibly go wrong?...)

...And all of a sudden, I've got an idea for "Friends on the Other Side".

This next one's "Human Again", from Beauty and the Beast.

Hanako:
Ha ha, oui, my friends.
The day we have waited for may be at hand!

Shizune:
Oh, only if that were true,
Hanako!

Hanako:
Aaah...crippled again

Shizune:
Crippled again

Hanako:
Yes, think of what that means!
Be burnt-looking again
Just like cooking again
With a handsome white knight on each arm
When I'm crippled again
Only crippled again
Shrinking and stutt'ring and gleaming with charm...
I'll be moe again
Scared as a doe' again

Shizune:
Which should cause sev'ral girlfriends alarm!

Emi:
Running blades boost my speed

Hanako:
So you'll widen your lead

Emi:
I can't wait to be crippled again

All:
When we're crippled again
Only crippled again
When we're normal and boring no more

Emi:
Little push, little fall
We go back to it all

Lilly:
Ah, cherie, won't it all be top-drawer
While I'm tapping my cane
None will dare cause me pain
Even those who now call me a whore
And when I meet that tramp
Oh, that foot I will stamp
It's my prayer to be crippled again

Rin:
When I'm human again
Only human again
When the world once more making sense
I'll let loose for a change

Hanako:
Really? That'd be strange!

Rin:
Can I help it if I'm d-d-dull?
In a shack by the sea
I will paint, meaning free
With my feet and with no earthy goal
When my arms I will lose
I'll recapture my muse as I choose

All:
When I'm crippled again
So sweep the dust from the floor!
Let's let some light in the room!
I can feel, I can tell
We'll be freed from this hell
Any day now!

Lilly:
Shine up the brass on the door!
Get out the dustpail and the broom!

All:
If all goes as planned
Our time may be at hand
Any day now!

Shizune:
Open the shutters and let in some air
Put these here and put those over there

All:
Sweep up the days
Of sadness and haze
And throw them away!

Nurse:
With the Ludovico treatment reversed, Alex decides to settle down and start a family. The end.

Kenji:
What a beautiful story

Nurse:
Oh, I knew you would like it!
I would like to ask you something

Kenji:
What's that?

Nurse:
A second chance. Would you review the Yamaku data with me tonight?

Kenji:
Huh? Me? You? Well, that would be,
I mean -- Oh, yes!!

All:
When we're crippled again
Only crippled again
When the boy fin'lly sets us all free
Cute boys doomin' again
We're assumin' again
We'll resume our long lost joie de vie
We'll be playin' again
Holiday' again
And we're prayin' it's A-S-A-P
When we cast off this pall
We'll stand straight, we'll walk tall
When we're all that we were
Thanks to him, can be sure
Coming closer and closer
And closer and...
We'll be flirting again!
Be dream-making again!
And heart-breaking the boys with such ease
When we're crippled again
Only crippled again
We'll be making the birds and the bees
We'll be winking again!
We'll be giggling again!
Gain admirers as fast as you please
Like a real cripple does
I'll be all that I was
On that glorious morn
When we're fin'lly reborn
And we're all of us crippled again!


I'm afraid I don't know why the girls need Nurse and scientist!Kenji to cripple them, instead of breaking out the knives, fire, and caustic chemicals themselves. I am but a humble servant of the lulz.

WAHAHA! Hicchan! I don't think you understand the benefits of joining the Student Council! So take a seat and ruminate, whilst we illuminate the possibilities.

Well Lilly there has her stir fried groupie
And Emi's got the Nurse hot on' your tail
But Hicchan you in luck, 'cause up your sleeves
You got a pair of girls who never fail
You got influence in your corner now
You got the perfect hand without a tell
You got some punch, pizzazz, yahoo and how
See all you gotta do is text that cell
And she'll sign

Mister Hisao, sir

You ain't never had two friends like us

You ain't never had two friends like us

WA HA HA (Oh my)

*(Intransliterable scat)*

Do your friends do that?
Pull blackmail dirt outta their little hat?

US!
WA HA HA!
WA HA HA!
You ain't never had two friends like us!

*Ends with Shizune holding up a sign reading "Applause"*
So, what'll it be, Hicchan?


And now you will never unhear Misha as voiced by Robin Williams.

I had a feeling someone would eventually get to writing on for "Friend Like Me"

Excellent use of "Human Again" Grand. I would have thought to be whole again where they already are cripples longing to be whole again, but your version makes more sense to the meaning behind KS so I applaud you on that note.

By eldritch powers and blasphemous science, I command this thread to LIVE!

So now I've seen Tangled and it really is a good-old-fashioned Disney musical fairy tale, despite all the marketing's efforts to deny it.
Now let's have a look at the Lilly/Hanako relationship, to the tune of this:

Lilly:
You want to go outside? Why, Hanako...!
Look at you, fragile as a flow'r in bloom
Still a little sapling, just a sprout
You know why we stay here in this tea room

Hanako:
I know but...

Lilly:
That's right, to keep you safe and sound, dear
Guess I always knew this day was coming
Knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest
Soon, but not yet

Hanako:
But --

Lilly:
Shh!
Trust me, pet
Lilly knows best
Lilly knows best
Listen to your best friend
The school's scary, let's not pretend
Lilly knows best
Or, heaven forfend
Something'll get you in the end
Misogynists
That deaf bitch, nutjobs
Lolis who charge you
Misha!

Hanako:
No!

Lilly:
Yes!

Hanako:
But --

Lilly:
Also dead dogs
Boys with ahoge, and
Stop, no more, you'll just upset me
Lilly's right here
Lilly will protect you
Darling, here's what I suggest
Don't be silly
Stay with Lilly
Lilly knows best
Go ahead, get trampled by a sharktopus
Go ahead, get mugged and left for dead
Me, I'm just your mother, what do I know?
I only bathed and changed and nursed you
Go ahead and leave me, I deserve it
Let me die alone here, be my guest
When it's too late
You'll see, just wait
Lilly knows best
Lilly knows best
Take it from your best friend
On your own, you won't survive
Sloppy, hair's a mess
You're such a loose end
Please, they'll eat you up alive
Gullible, naïve
Positively grubby
Ditzy and a bit, well, hmm vague
Plus, I believe
Gettin' kinda chubby
I'm just saying 'cause I wuv you
Lilly understands
Lilly's here to help you
All I have is one request
Hanako?

Hanako:
Yes?

Lilly:
Don't ever ask to leave this tea room again.

Hanako:
Yes, Lilly.

Lilly:
I love you very much, dear.

Hanako:
I love you more.

Lilly:
I love you most.
Don't forget it
You'll regret it
Lilly knows best

IT LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVEEEESSSSSSSSSS

This actually matches them pretty well (you know, minus the immortality inducing hair and Lilly being more of a bitch)

I've been working for a while now on a KS version of "The Court of Miracles" from "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". It's just way too good a song to pass. Kenji or Rin will probably stand in for Clopin, and while it's inconsequential to the song, I guess you could imagine Hanako as Quasimodo, looking all terrified while the madness revolves her.
Plus, "Yamaku High School" has the same amount of syllables as "Court of Miracles", so it should be easy to insert. And you just can't ignore a line like "The lame can walk! The blind can see!"

Inspiration isn't lacking, language skills, unfortunately, are... so it might take a while. I have to say, though, rhyming in English is so much easier than in Hebrew. It's incredible!

But why would you want to do that?
I mean, Quasimodo is deaf but not mute, half-blind but not fully, and ugly. And none of those apply to Hana-banana; if anything there's two others that are already more suitable.

Quasimodo was deaf? And half blind? Or are you refer to the original tale rather than the Disney film?

Most likely he refers to the original tale, which was remarkably different from the Disney version. Frankly, I think the Disney version is actually slightly better... In most regards, at least.
