Summary: Written for this prompt:
You know that scene from Wayne's World? The Bohemian Rhapsody
one?
Notes: The reason I wrote
this was because earlier this week I had just this same moment with a
group of my friends at a pub when it played. We all broke out into
song and it was epic. Nevermind that I love me my Queen.
The piano lead in was all too familiar. Bones stood straighter and looked around wondering where the sound was coming from. Spock and Uhura shared a bewildered look. Much of the rest of the bridge crew was doing the same. Everyone turned to look at the captain who sat on the edge of his chair and looked back at them.
"I see a little silhouette of a man," Kirk announced, standing up from his chair.
"Scaramouche, scaramouche will you do the fandango," Sulu and Chekov suddenly called out, grinning at their captain.
Uhura, Spock and Bones watched in disbelief.
"Thunderbolt and lightning—very very frightening me—" most of the bridge crew sang.
"Galileo! Galileo!" Scotty interrupted.
"Galileo, Galileo," cried the rest of the crew. "Galileo figaro—"
"Magnifico-o-o-o-o!-o!" began Chekov and the rest of the crew.
"But I'm just a poor boy," Jim sang. "Nobody loves me-"
"Hes just a poor boy from a poor family--!" sang one-half of the bridge. "Spare him his life from this monstrosity-" They all waved their arms at Jim dramatically.
They all paused for the piano.
"Easy come, easy go-" Jim continued quieter, "will you let me go-"
"Bismillah! No," sang the different half of the bridge, all looking very disapprovingly at their captain. "We will not let you go—"
"Let him go!"
They repeated this argument before the denying half suddenly broke out into: "No, no, no, no, no, no!"
"Mama mia, mama mia, mama mia—" Scotty called
"Let me go!" they all sang, "Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me…for me…for meeee!"
Suddenly a guitar rift broke into the music and they all began banging their heads, a few air guitaring. Jim stood up on his captain's chair and waved his arms at the crew. "So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?" Jim sang accusingly. "So you think you can love me and leave me to die?" He whipped around to point at Bones, Uhura and Spock who had gathered off to the side to watch. "Oh baby! Cant do this to me baby--Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here!"
The long alarming guitar rifts continued before the piano came back and it all crashed together.
"Oooh yeah!" the crew crooned to the mess of guitar, piano and drums.
Then it all slowly ended and they all turned to Jim, who was sitting again. "Nothing really matters," Jim sang softly, bowing his head. "Anyone can see, nothing really matters--Nothing really matters…to me."
The piano continued to play more notes before the crew quietly all sang, "Any way the wind blows…"
A gong rang out and the song ended. The crew broke out into applause and Jim grinned.
"Guess we should sing Queen more often," he said, trotting over to where his bewildered officers stood.
"Indeed," Spock said stiffly. "It had a much better response than Stairway to Heaven."
