Prompt:
Before the Megamind Museum is rededicated a song hits the top of the charts and is number one for weeks. The song?
"I have eyes that can see through Lead"
Megamind was an alien of simple tastes.
He liked black leather.
He had a habit of placing spikes in excess on all of his belongings.
He had a fondness for machinery that was both really cool and really menacing at the same time.
And he liked music.
Particularly, classic rock.
AC/DC, Guns and Roses, KISS, Led Zepplin, Ozzy Osbourne- to Megamind, these were gods among men. Try and argue the point, and it will get you nowhere except perhaps tied to a chair and forced to listen to the aforementioned for eight hours straight, only intermittently interrupted to allow the genius to monologue at length about their greatness.
In short, no one messed with his music.
So when Megamind turned on the radio to his favorite station that day during brainbot repairs (there were still dozens out of commission thanks to Tighten), he was immediately horrified at what he heard.
"I have eyes that can see right through leeeaaaaad. The best part of life comes when you pretend to be deeeaaaaad."
"Minion!" he yelled, turning to see the alien fish fighting with one of the few functioning brainbots in tug of war over a wrench. "Minion, come here!"
Minion regretfully abandoned the wrench to join his charge's side, and the victorious brainbot sped off, chirping happily. "Sir?"
-"I am your superhero, your caped protector, baby. Now that I'm free, I can start living maybe."-
"What is this? When I turn on the radio, I expect to hear glorious rock, not MetroMan living out his mid-life crisis! Please tell me this is some cruel joke."
"I don't think it is, Sir." Minion replied. "According to the current media, Music Man is a big hit in Metro City right now."
-"And I have arms that can lift this whole toooown. But what's the use of flying when you're always doooown?"-
"But he's horrible!" Megamind guestured wildly. "Lyrically, he's incompetent! And who taught him to play guitar, a dead cat?"
-"Call me Music Man cause I'm saving your day. With the help of my awesome music you'll be okay."-
"DEAR GOD, REALLY?" He grabbed his magnificent skull with a frustrated groan. "And he's not even trying to hide his identity!"
"It's not that bad, Sir." Minion offered hopefully. "Apparently his music inspires the citizens."
"'Not that bad'? He's murdering music, Minion!" he spat disdainfully. "It should be a crime!"
The song faded with one last strum of ukulele strings.
-"I have eyes that can see right through leeeaaad, right through leeeaaaad..."-
The DJ cut in, voice loud and bright. "Alright, Metro City, that was your number one request, 'I Can See Right Through Lead' by Music Man! No word yet on an album release, but he did clue us in on his next single, called 'My Buddy Blue'. Ears open, Metro-Citians, because it's coming soon!"
"...Minion, do we still have the Death Ray in orbit?"
Minion fluttered his gills nervously. "Yes, Sir. But why would we need it?"
"Good, good." Megamind patted his best friend's glass tank and walked off with a furl of his cape. "Because I'm going to make sure I hit him this time."
"SIR!"
