The Other Amazing Parody
On My Own Little Streetcorner
I am as nerdy as they come
I write fanfic every day
In my head, the characters live near
Each other on the street
On my own streetcorner
In my own little square
I can see anybody I want to see
On the wings of a dragon I can fly anywhere
And I'll meet my favourite people from BBC
There's a consulting detective and a Timelord
The greatest sorcerer there ever was
And a prince who isn't grateful all the time, but
Is pretty good at wielding a sword
These are men girls go mad for
Love's a game they could play
And people sigh over them everywhere
And as long as they stay on my own streetcorner
I can see them anywhere
(Pause for pictures of favourite BBC shows)
I can meet whoever I want to meet
Like a knight who's immortal and a knight with no sleeves
And a hobbit with really hairy feet*
And a boy whose past will not define his future
He's dead but in my mind he's still alive
Also there's a guy who's really been supportive
Even though he's always being left behind
I am lost in my daydreams since they can't do much harm
Though I obsess far more than I should
Even though sometimes I must forgo my homework
I don't care, I just want to watch my show!
* (not the BBC, but he's still British so it counts, and I put this as a footnote I didn't want to MST but this is still relevant and I don't want anybody getting on my case because The Hobbit is not BBC.)
This was inspired by a conversation I had with MerlinPsych, and it was her audition song (In My Own Little Corner from Cinderella) that helped me write this. Not co-written this time, more like helped along by MerlinPsych, most of the lyrics are my own and not hers. As with I Could Have Danced With Knights, I would recommend watching this with the Youtube music to enhance your experience. Also, this songfic is based off of how the BBC looks to me in my crazy fangirl brain, basically the fact that the BBC has like 50 actors and in my head they all live next to each other and are great friends. Finally, see if you can figure out who all the characters are!
Disclaimer-I do not own the BBC (or The Hobbit) and I also do not own Cinderella or any of the songs from it.
