Title: Wind Beneath My WIngs - a video script
By: Tiffany May Harrsch
Rating: PG
Content warning: Just som sap.
Spoilers: There are scenes from all season.
Summary: This is my idea of how a music video might go. Since
I don't know how to make one, I plotted it out.
Notes: * Thanks to my beta's: Sherry and Alison.
* When I hear the song in my head, I hear Bette Midler's voice (though I
have heard the song performed by Roger Whittaker and Sheena Easton as well).
Considering the Team's taste in music (judging from some of the episodes),
they would probably hear Sheena Easton's. *g*
Feedback: Always, anykind. (I'll even take the flames just I can
say I ever got them. ;-P)
Disclaimer: The A-Team belong to Stephen J. Cannell. The scenes are
taken from various episodes, written and directed by various people. I don't
own the guys, and don't mean any infringements. The music and lyrics to Wind
Beneath My Wings are by Larry Henley and Jeff Silbar, and used without
