…Wow, what is it with these long songs?! If you haven't guessed, this next one's huge too…it's a parody of Masquerade, from the better-known version of Phantom of the Opera! But first things first, reviews must be answered:

Broken Musket: Yay, thanks! And yes, I've tried to make the whole format more understandable, is it better? Oh, and yah, keeping the rhythm hasn't really been a strong suit of mine. Bear with me here. 

Enjolras.for.president: Thanks! Heh, wouldn't we all 

Bramblefox: Bohemian Rhapsody, by Queen. It's a pretty old song, actually, but it's just so parody-able! Sort of a mini rock opera.

On your second review: Yah, in the original on-paper version, those guys's verses weren't in there. I was wondering if they would work, so yay!

Thanks to you all! Exclamation points all around!! Now let's get going:

Disclaimer: I do not own Phantom or Les Mis…and if I did, I would take over and YouTube and DeviantArt with my newfound power found in owning the world's two best musicals!! (Maniacal laughter)

Barricade

Enjolras

M'sieur Combeferre?

Combeferre:

That it's a shame the Nat'l Guard men can't be here!

Les Amis:

Hide yourself

So the Guard will never shoot you

There's a sniper pointed at you!

Flash of gun

There's dead guys!

We need a priest!

Muskets!

Take your turn

On the watch

On the sy-y-ymbol

Of the human race!

Gavroche: (Points to Javert)

He's a spy!

Who is who?

Who's the spy?

It's not I

I have got

An alibi!

Grinning rebels

Black and Red!

Barricade

Grantaire:

I have spilled!

Les Amis:

Let the spectacle astound you!

Barricade!

Dodge the bullets

Watch your head!

Barricade

Stop and stare

…but you're open for attack!

Barricade

Stupid spies

Are breathing lies

Barricade

Tie him up

Hey Valjean

We'll leave him to you! (toss Valjean a gun)

Barricade

Shoot the sniper

Hey, um, guys…?

Barricade

Run and hide

Everybody's shooting at you!

Feuilly:

What a night!

For me to post,

Joly:

Here's to health!

Grantaire:

Here's a toast!

Marius:

But Cosette is not here…

Les Amis: (ignore)

To the friends that are here! (Look at barricade)

And may its splendor never fade!

Combeferre:

New world!

Feuilly:

To a joy!

Bossuet:

To a change!

Javert: (tied up)

To an effing release!

Les Amis:

And what a barricade!

(Flashback to a few months ago, at a meeting in L'café)

Enjolras: (Key change)

Think of it

We will wi-in this thing

Look, we're regicides!

Just think of it!

Bahorel:

But why only think it?!

What have we to hide?!

Combeferre:

Please, Bahorel

We'll soon be free!

Check out anger management!

Feuilly:

Keep dreaming…

Jehan:

Don't let him commit any crimes!

Bahorel:

Fight!

What are you afraid of?!

Combeferre:

Please, Bahorel…

Bahorel:

Dumb opponents!

Courfeyrac:(Half mocking)

Temper, temper!

Bahorel:

Why aren't you all fighting?!

Combeferre:

You will understand in time!

(Bahorel runs into the street and gets arrested)

(Back to June 5th)

Les Amis:

Barricade!

Guns and muskets on parade!

Barricade

Accept your fate

The world will be honky-dory!

Barricade!

Rebels don't quite have it made

Barricade

Turn around

There's a sniper pointed at you!

Barricade!

Dodge the bullets

Watch your head

Barricade

Stop and stare

But you're open for attack!

Barricade!

Grinning rebels

Black and Red!

Barricade

Grantaire:

I have spilled!

Les Amis:

Let the spectacle astound you!

(Ominous chords, key change)

National Guard:

Why so rebellious

Good m'sieurs?

Did you think that we had left you for good?

Have you missed us, good m'sieurs?

Victor Hugo: (Meanwhile)

I have written them a novel!

(Runs to publisher)

Here I bring the finished book:

LES MISERABLES!

(Back at the barricade)

Enjolras: (Takes a stand)

We advise you to surrender!

Jehan:

I am filled with fear…

Enjolras:

Remember

I was voted Rebel of the Year!

Valjean: (Meanwhile, to Javert)

Your chains are now mine

But I'll let you GO! (Does so, Javert runs away)

Sorry for the abrupt ending, but that IS how the song ends. And sorry if the rhythm's off, 'cuz I was just writing it as the libretto says it is, and some voices overlap. Oh well, I think it turned out okay. If ya want to tell me otherwise, review! …but no flames, remember! REVIEW
