Authors' Note/Disclaimer: I don't own WAs 3 or the songs The Spirit Of Radio by Rush and Beat Patrol by Starship.
Well, the last chapter. Finally. ^_^ I think I overdid it, what do you all think?
Chapter 11- The Spirit of Radio
"Well, folks, looks like we've got time for one more song before we wrap up. Let's find out who's up!" He drew a name and started laughing. "Okay, who put ME in the draw?"
Annette waved from the crowd. "You've been drawn, so now you have to sing!" Von laughed again with the crowd and cued up a song of his own.
Begin the day with a friendly voice,
A companion, unobtrusive
Plays the song that's so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood.
Off on your way, hit the open road,
There is magic at your fingers
For the Spirit ever lingers,
Undemanding contact in your happy solitude.
Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antenna bristle with the energy
Emotional feedback on a timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free
All this machinery making modern music
Can still be open-hearted.
Not so coldly charted, it's really just a question
Of your honesty, yeah, your honesty.
One likes to believe in the freedom of music,
But glittering prizes and endless compromises
Shatter the illusion of integrity.
Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antenna bristle with the energy
Emotional feedback on a timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free
For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall,
Concert hall
And echoes with the sounds of salesmen.
Of salesmen.
Of salesmen.
"Well, to wrap up, I had thought of playing one last song, but I think we're too pressed for time to do that," Von said once he was done. The crowd groaned, but Von shook his head, a smile on his face. There was some booing, but most of the crowd started to chant.
"Song, song, song!"
"Okay, okay," Von gave in, his plan working exactly as he'd hoped, "but don't blame me when you get home late!"
The song started to play, and those who knew the lyrics started to sing along.
Heaven move me, move my soul
Here comes the beat
Here comes the beat patrol
We will dance...
I will help you if i can
I can change the way you feel today
When your world turns upside down
It's time to make the break and dance into another day
And as the music starts to move you
Then it's time to go
Into the streets you dance
And then you lose control
Heaven move me, move my soul
Here comes the beat
Here comes the beat patrol
We will dance, we will dance
Heaven move me, move my soul
Here comes the beat
Here comes the beat patrol
We will dance, we will dance
This is the age when you must win
Cos there is no gold upon the streets today
You must find it from within
Music brings the dream machine your way
And as the feeling starts to move you
Then it's time to go
Into the streets you dance
And then you lose control
Heaven move me, move my soul
Here comes the beat
Here comes the beat patrol
We will dance, we will dance
Heaven move me, move my soul
Here comes the beat
Here comes the beat patrol
We will dance, we will dance
The crowd parted as, surprising everyone, Asgard started to breakdance. Most people backed up in fear of getting hit by the golem's flailing limbs, but the rest watched in fascination. Asgard put on a stunning performance, wrapping up as the instrumental interlude wrapped up, gaining appreciative applause.
A say yeah, a say yeah, yeah, yeah
What you say man? Here come the what, here come the what?
Here come the beat, here come the beat patrol
Here come the beat we will dance
We will dance
Here come the beat, here come the beat patrol
Here come the beat we will dance
We will dance
Heaven move me, move my soul
Here comes the beat
Here comes the beat patrol (I see them coming now, man!)
We will dance, we will dance (Look over yonder!)
(Heaven move me move my soul
Here comes the beat, here comes the beat patrol)...
"So, that wraps up the First Annual Little Rock Karaoke Festival. Thank you for coming, and hope to see you next year!"
There was one last cheer from the crowd and the people started to pack up and suffle off towards home.
"So guys, you want to come back next year?" asked Virginia.
"NO!"
