Luan, Lola and their dad, Lynn Senior, were chatting with Luna's bandmates, of which one is her best friend, Sam.
BTW, this one is a request by Pop Culture Fan 101.
After saying hi to one another, Sam asked Lola, "remember a while back when you told us how much you love show tunes?"
Lola answered, "yes. I totally remember. I love show tunes."
Lola and Luna's dad commented, "well, turns out, there's more to a show tune then when we first thought. Here, we'll show you an example."
With Luna and her bandmates on instrumentals, Lynn Senior was on vocals with a little help from Luna herself.
Here's Friend Like Me from the movie Aladdin by Ne-yo.
Pop Culture Fan 101, this one's for you.
Music intro
[Verse 1] [Lynn Sr]
Well, Ali Baba had them 40 thieves
Scheherazade had a thousand tales
But, master, you in luck 'cause up your sleeves
You got a brand of magic never fails
You got some power in your corner now
Some heavy ammunition in your camp
You got some punch, pizazz, yahoo, and how?
See, all you gotta do is rub that lamp, and I'll say -
[Chorus] [Lynn Sr and Luna]
"Mr. Aladdin, sir
What will your pleasure be?
Let me take your order, jot it down"
You ain't never had a friend like me, ha ha ha
Life is your restaurant
And I'm your maitre d'
Come on, whisper what it is you want
You ain't never had a friend like me
[Verse 2] [Lynn Sr]
Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service
You're the boss, the king, the shah!
Say what you wish, it's yours! True dish
How about a little more baklava?
Have some of column A
Try all of column B
I'm in the mood to help you, dude
You ain't never had a friend like me
Wah-ah-ah, mo-my
Wah-ah-ah, no-no
Wah-ah-ah, my my my
[Bridge] [Luna]
Can your friends do this?
Can your friends do that?
Can your friends pull this
Out their little hat?
Can your friends go poof?
Hey, looky here, ha ha
Can your friends go "Abracadabra," let 'er rip
And then make the sucker disappear
[Verse 3] [Lynn Sr]
So don't you sit there slack-jawed, buggy-eyed
I'm here to answer all your midday prayers
You got me bona fide, certified
You got a genie for your charge d'affaires
I got a powerful urge to help you out
So what's your wish? I really wanna know
You got a list that's three miles long, no doubt
Well, all you gotta do is rub like so
[Chorus] [Lynn Sr and Luna]
Mister Aladdin, sir
Have a wish or two or three
I'm on the job, you big nabob
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend, you ain't
Never had a friend, never had a friend
[Outro] [Lynn Sr]
You ain't
Never... had a...
Friend... like
Me
Ya-ha-ha
Wah-ha-ha
You ain't never had a friend like me!
Music ends
Lola commented, "oh. So, that's what some people believe a show tune sounds like."
"You know it," Sam said. "I'm still wondering how long it's gonna be before we can set foot in that studio again."
"Hopefully soon," Lynn Senior said.
Luna wanted to continue chatting with her bandmates, so Lola and Lynn Senior said goodbye and left.
AN: Have you seen the live action remake of Aladdin? I know what a lot of you are going to say. Yes, whether it's cool or cringe, it will never beat the original animated version. I may have seen a DVD version when I was younger, but who knows whether or nor I saw the whole thing. Again, a special thanks to Pop Culture Fan 101 for the request. I hope he likes this. What do you think?
