"Hiya Toonsters, and welcome to 'Karaoke for the World'. In this one-time event, the students at Acme Looniversity are going to sing songs that address the problems in today's world, and such. This is a charity event, as all proceeds will go to various charity organizations", Mary Melody announced in the announcer booth. (Yes, the event is being televised.) "First up tonight is Hamton J. Pig, who is going to sing the classic protest song by the late John Lennon, titled 'Imagine'."
Hamton walked on to the stage, and addressed the crowd. "Hello people, welcome to 'Karaoke for the World'. We appreciate that you all have come here to help out in making the world a better place. The song I'm going to sing is 'Imagine' by John Lennon. He gave a lot to this world years ago. He had a vision about a perfect world titled 'Nutopia'. And Lennon wanted us to imagine a world where nothing divides the people. And I share his vision. So without further ado, I bring you 'Imagine'."
Hamton went over to a piano, and began playing a familiar melody. Then he started to sing:
"Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one"
Slowly, people began applauding. The applause grew louder and louder. The audience enjoyed the performance, and started to shout: "More! More! More! More!..." Hamton then said "oh there's gonna be more performances. From pretty much the rest of Acme Loo. And at the end, all of us will sing a few songs together. Before I bid adieu for a while, I want to introduce you all to our next performer, Plucky Duck!"
