Karaoke: The Ultimate Unexplained Phenomenon
Chapter 5: Mulder Has Entered the Building
"Karaoke: translated from the Japanese as 'empty orcestra'"Frohike came and sat down with Skinner and Scully as Mulder took the stage. Mulder looked down at him and said, "Just watch Frohike, I'll top ya!" He turned his back to audience for a few minutes and when he turned back around he seemed to have gone through a trasformation…into the King. Mulder had removed his tie and jacket and flipped up the collar of his white dress shirt. His hair was more fluffy and sort of slicked backed and he was wearing sunglasses. He looked down at Scully with his best Elvis sneer and said, in his best Elvis voice, "You ready for this, baby?" Scully blushed and smiled.
Mulder picked up the mike and said, "Hey folks, this song goes out to my gal, Scully!" Someone off stage handed Mulder a guitar and the music started.
Mulder began to sing, in one of the best Elvis impressions she'd ever heard.
Lord Almighty,
I feel my temperature rising
Higher higher
It's burning through to my soul
Girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, I'm flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
And nothing can cool me
I just might turn into smoke
But I feel fine
Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like a sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky
With burning love
It's coming closer
The flames are reaching my body
Please won't you help me
I feel like I'm slipping away
It's hard to breath
And my chest is a-heaving
Lord Almighty,
I'm burning a hole where I lay
Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
With burning love
Ah, ah, burning love
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love…"
Mulder looked down at Scully and smiled. Scully smiled back. He picked up the mike and said, throught the tremendous applause he was getting, "Ah, thank you, thank you very much. Once more, that one was for my gal Scully." He gave one more Elvis sneer then stepped off stage and sat down with Scully, Skinner and Frohike. Skinner and Frohike were gaping at him, neither of them had expected him to do anything like that. Scully grinned at him at he sat down next to her.
"Well, Scully?" He asked, in his normal Mulder voice.
"Great, Mulder. You, for lack of a better word, rocked."
"Awww…thanks, Scully. You know, it's your turn now…"
"Oh great…"
A/n: It just keeps getting better….much more to come…
D/c: Yeah, I don't own the X-Files. The song of course, is "Burning Love" by Elvis Presley.
