THIS TOOK ME SOME IMAGINATION TO TIME WRITE, SO PLEASE LISTEN TO THE SONG WHILE READING. YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED.
Listen to the Lego version of Monty Python 'Knights of the round table' if you are unfortunate enough not to know the song. It relies on the original sound effects, so get this one (recommended)
"You okay Raven?" asks Robin, looking at the slightly drowsy hooded girl.
"Yeah… I'm fine…" she says weakly. Her night had been a little rough on the nerves. "Just a little headache…"
"You didn't really have to come along you know Rae." says Cyborg, driving the car. "You could have stayed at home a bit. You know we'd consult you before finalizing our recruiting today."
"And let you guys hire some stalwart pansies? I don't think so!"
"I don't think it's all that worrying. They're only singers and musicians." says Robin in the front seat. "I don't really think we need extra help, but the Penguin wrote it in fine print on the paper. I'm hoping these guys are okay…"
"What are these 'Sing-along Dancers' like?" asks Starfire. "I like past time of singing and dancing almost as much as I like listening and watching."
"Oh! They're the best of the best guys!" says Beastboy, who had suggested the troop, which was another reason why Raven came along. "You WON'T be disappointed!"
"And to think that all the other musical troops are booked up already!" sighs Raven.
"Oh don't be such a worry wart!"
"Wart? Where!" says Starfire, stretching across the seats in the back to examine Raven's face with great concern, rocking the car a bit.
"He's right Raven." says Robin. "These guys have been highly recommended on the news. I doubt we'll be disappointed…"
"We're here guys! Stop poking her Star! Look Camelot!" says Cyborg whistling as they approach a giant castle.
"Camelot!" Beastboy
"Camelot?" says Starfire
Robin shrugs. "It's only a model."
"Shhh!" and he pricked his ears. "I think they're singing something!"
Beastboy leaps out with a paper Mache crown and says dramatically. "Then let us ride, TO CAMELOT!"
(Start corny music.)
(Four knights pop up in front and sing)
We're Knights of the Round Table,
We dance when ere we're able,
We do routines and chorus scenes
With footwork impeccable.
We dine well here in Camelot,
We eat ham and jam and spam a lot.
(Musicians dancing around and a chorus line of pike men do 'River dance' Beastboy is standing in awe, while the others are standing awfully perplexed. Starfire looks confused, not quite getting the words fast enough.)
We're Knights of the Round Table,
Our shows are for-midable,
(Robin Hood and merry men swing from the rafters)
But many times, we're given rhymes
That are quite unsingable.
We're Opera mad in Camelot,
We sing from the diaphragm a looooooot.
(As the knights continue to prance about and waving handkerchiefs, they notice Beastboy clapping to the song by himself in the silent auditorium… There's an impressive tap dance routine by some costume horses … A jester drummer actually comes up and starts using Cyborg for a good metal sound, until he hits on the head and falls over)
In war we're tough and able,
(Raven grabs Beastboy before he can fly up to join them. He squawks)
Quite in-de-fati-gable,
(Some knights do the can-can and the team all step back a bit.)
Between our quests we sequin vests,
And impersonate Clark Gable.
It's a busy life in Camelot,
(The 'king' steps up)
I HAVE TO PUSH THE PRAM ALOOOOOT
There is great dancing and twirling and arrows flying everywhere with Robin hood doing a trapeze flip. Music plays on and onto finale.
"On second thoughts, let's just exit quietly. Tis a silly place." says Robin with a sweat drop.
(If you didn't get the actions with the lyrics, read it and listen it and sing it again! I DEMAND IT! GWAHAHA! Just kidding, do as you wish!)
"Did you just say 'tis'?" says Cyborg, rubbing his head.
Starfire and Beastboy are humming and dancing a bit with Raven looking rather emotionally scarred. They exit and are about to get in the car when…
Suddenly they become aware of ice cream truck music and a pink van pulling up. "Why hello my band. How are you this fine day?" says the Penguin pulling up on his Ice cream truck.
Beastboy turns into a penguin and Robin looks a little sheepish. "Um… why the…?"
The Penguin sighs. "Have to start off somewhere don't I? Every little bit counts! Got to keep the funds flowing you know. That'll be two fifty." and he hands Beastboy a soy cone.
"Why are you here?" says Raven.
"Well I got wind that you were searching for a band, so I came here to get you one. Times flying as it is…"
"You have one in mind?"
"You might not like it, but…" says the Penguin shrugging. "I do believe they are the best of the best of the best and will definitely call in the audience we need."
"That is good!" says Starfire smiling. "These knights were only the best of the best. The best of the best of the best should be much greater, if possible. And who is Clark Gable?"
"Who?"
"Ahem…" coughs Cyborg. "How good are they exactly? Got any promo's, news paper cuttings…?"
The Penguin hands an Icy pole to a kid in the long line and smiles. "…Wanted posters."
"What?" say the titans together.
"Hey! I'll pay! I'll pay!" says the kid, throwing in two dollars and running off.
