Karaoke-The Ultimate Unexplained Phenomenon
Chapter 2:The Lumberjack
"You can dance if you wanna show appreciation but step up to the mike for the full sensation!"
-Catatonia "Karaoke Queen"
Skinner looked at Mulder and Scully and said, rather energetically, "I'll go first!" He took the stage, grabbed the mike and began one of the strangest nights Mulder and Scully had ever experienced in all their years of investigating x-files.
"Now," Skinner said into the mike looking over the audience as a spot light was shone on him. "I love being in the FBI. It's hard work but I get to work with great people like Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, ever if they do have a disregard for authority. But you know, I never really wanted to be an FBI agent. I always wanted to be….a lumberjack!"
Skinner ripped off his suit to reveal jeans, a flannel shirt, suspenders and boots. He put on hunting cap as the music started.
"Ohhhhhh…..I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok. I sleep all night and I work all day!"
A chorus of Canadian Mounties appeared behind him out of nowhere and sang, "He's a lumberjack and he's ok! He sleeps all night and he works all day!"
Skinner sang: "I cut down trees, I eat my lunch, I go to the lavatory! On Wednesdays I go shopping and have butter scones for tea!"
The Mounties sang: "He cuts down trees, he eats my lunch, he goes to the lavatory! On Wednesdays he goes shopping and has butter scones for tea!"
Skinner: "I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok. I sleep all night and I work all day!"
Mounties: "He's a lumberjack and he's ok! He sleeps all night and he works all day!"
Skinner: "I cut down trees, I skip and jump, I like to press wildflowers! I put on women's clothing and hang around in bars!"
Mounties: "He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps, he likes to press wildflowers! He put on women's clothing and…hangs around in bars?"
Skinner: "I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok. I sleep all night and I work all day!"
Mounties: "He's a lumberjack and he's ok! He sleeps all night and he works all day!"
Skinner: "I cut down trees, I wear high heels, suspenders and a bra! I wish I'd been a girlie just like my dear papa!"
Mounties: "He cuts down trees, he wears high heels, suspenders and…a bra??" The Mounties mutter all sorts of comments at Skinner.
There was and awkward silence for a few minutes until…
Skinner: "I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok. I sleep all night and I work all day!"
Mounties: "He's a lumberjack and he's ok! He sleeps all night and he works all day!"
Skinner took a bow as the Mounties disappeared. Scully and Mulder stared at Skinner in disbelief as he sat back down with them. "What?" He questioned, seeing the bewildered looks.
"What was that?" Mulder questioned.
"Karaoke." Skinner, still in the lumberjack garb, grinned as his agents continued to look dumfounded about what they had just seen.
"I don't know what to expect next…" Scully muttered.
