This is my first IZ song parody, and the first IZ fan-thingy I've submitted here. (I have real stories still in the works, though.) And I will tell you right now – if you are unfamiliar with the music from Les Miserables (the best musical ever!) you might not enjoy this near as much. (And even if you are, you might not. :P) Chances are I'll probably make a separate submission for any non-Les Mis song parodies I may make in the future, and keep this pure butchered Les Mis goodness. I'm also hoping to put in at least one song for each main character. Keyword: hoping.

And no, I'm not bothering to ID the characters… it should be pretty obvious as to who's singing what. ;)

Oh, and Invader Zim and characters belong to Jhonen Vasquez. The songs these parodies are based off of also dwell in the realm of not-mine-ness. The parodies themselves are the product of extreme boredom.

On with the torture!

(EDIT 8/19/05: Changed a line I wasn't happy with. :P)

World I Long To Know
(Castle on a Cloud)
--------------------------------

There is a world I long to know
A world that accepts and respects me
Where people see all I can see
In that world I long to know

Aliens are exposed to all
Zim has fallen thanks to me
His secrets now are all on show
In that world I long to know

There is a medal that I hold
Dib, a hero at ten years old
Gaz stands by me, and my dad does, too
He says, "My son, I'm very proud of you…"

I see a time when things go right
I see a time when dreams come true
I won't look back on times long ago,
Not in that world I long to know
