Down in the lower levels of Zims base, GIR was playing with an i-Pod that he had found on his travels. He loved the music that came blasting from the ear-buds and how the song changed ever time you shook it. To him, magic came in no greater form. At that moment, he was listening to his favourite song by far, Caramelldansen, the original party mix. He didn't understand the language, but it was high pitched and bouncy, and he's figured out the dance for it too so he could move along with it. However, he didn't notice how close he was to the machine.
He crashed into the mechanical structure, sending the i-Pod flying into the air, landing in the computers scanning sensor. A door opened up and swallowed the device, sending tears to GIR's eyes. GIR wanted it back, GIR liked this music box. He started hitting the computers buttons at random, trying to make it come back, but nothing was working. He tried harder...
Musical data waves download complete!
GIR hit one more button in a final attempt to bring back his music, but that was one button too many.
Musical data waves now programmed subconsciously, galactic. Broadcasting NOW!
There was an explosion from inside the computer, throwing GIR backwards. Zim came rushing into the labs.
"GIR! What's going on?" he demanded, wig askew and only one contact in, he had been getting ready for Skool.
GIR was about to open his mouth to explain, when an all too familiar techno beat started playing from all around them. Zim arched a brow in confusion and started checking the speakers on the computer, but they were all silent. It seemed as though the music was coming from the air...
(Caramelldansen (speedy mix) - Caramell.)
Zim:
Hey where is this sound coming from?
Hey wait why am I singing?
Oh no, GIR where is your i-pod now?
GIR:
Master I really do not know,
I was playing here when Poddie fell,
Yes Poddie fell,
computer ate him up!
AND NOW WE'RE
singing like this,
I'm having fun yeah,
let's do the dance,
hands on your head then,
hop to the side like a lil' bunny!
Now you're doing the caramelldansen!
Zim rushes to the computer and tries to figure out what happened while GIR did the Caramelldansen dance in the background. Zim sees images of people all over the world breaking into song and dance for no reason. Even certain planets near Earth are taking part. Zims eyes widen in horror.
ZIM:
It seems as though that,
'Poddie' triggered a malfunction,
now the world, or even the galaxy,
has erupted into song and dance,
this sickens me even on TV,
now we must, try to find a cure!
Zim rushed once more to his computer and pressed buttons at random, behind him, GIR is having the time of his life!
GIR:
NO MASTER!
This is lotsa fun!
Come and dance with me,
It's not too bad,
come on mini-moose,
this is the life,
in the musical!
All feelings come out to the whole world!
Zim;
No, no, GIR, you don't understand,
it's not just the songs, there's things that shouldn't be,
and things that shouldn't be said,
so Irk help me if I run into her...
Zim clasped his hands over his mouth and curled into a ball of desperation. GIR smirks and continues his dancing, laughing manically with mini-moose hovering next to him, squeaking to the beat.
GIR:
Poor master!
This can help you, go and sing to her,
or bring her round,
I'll make some waffles,
in this musical world we now live in,
anything is possible YAY!
Dance over here, then I'll sing there,
why master are you crying?
It's lotsa fun, come and join me now,
Why are you running away now?
Meanwhile, outside the skool, Dib and his sister Gaz were waiting for Skool to start. Dib looked around.
"Gaz, have you noticed that loads of people seem to be... singing and stuff a lot today? Like, right in the middle of the street and music blasting from nowhere!"
She shrugged, "What the drama people do is none of my concern."
"But what if it's actually some kind of alien disease? Zim! He hasn't shown up today, I bet he doesn't want to leave his house or he'll get infected! That's it! He's trying to control us all through music!"
"Bit extreme don't you think?"
But that was it, as soon as Dib got an idea in his head, there was no going back. He knew Zim had something to do with this, no one just started singing about the cut prices of cheese in the tune of One Direction 'That what makes you beautiful' just like that!
Hang on, what was this? All around them, a series of electric guitars and drums started sounding around them. Words started running through his head. Oh, no, he was infected too! He had to stop himself, but how? Oh, no!
(Limp - Sumo Cyco)
Dib:
I've never been a music lover,
No one else here has discovered,
that we seem to be in song,
Something here is very wrong.
Zim he's behind it I just know it,
the music,
Gaz say you hear this, say you hear this too!
Gaz:
Yes I hear it and it sucks!
But tell me how is Zim involved?
Actually no, I don't care,
I don't want to talk about or hear about him.
Dib:
Gaz you're singing along with me!
Gaz:
Yes, I'm aware,
Thanks for that Dib,
Stating the god damned obvious!
Gaz stormed out of skool and out into the open, she looks around and tries to cover a smirk. Dib looks at her questioningly, she carries on singing.
This may not be such a bad thing,
life is always just so boring,
maybe this will make things fun,
it's like my game world's come undone!
Dib:
You're wrong Gaz this is weird,
we need to stop Zim and his plans!
His throws his arms in the air in frustration and starts dragging her towards Zims house.
He's behind this, than alien,
and now I'm gonna stop him!
I don't know what his plans are,
what's he to gain from a musical?
Maybe hypnotism,
no, he's done that...
But we'll find out,
and why's this song
is still going on...
Gaz: (poisonously glaring at him):
I don't want to go near him, aren't you listening?
Stop or I'll kill you and hit your massive head.
Perhaps it's just the way things are,
I know that music isn't my thing,
but now I speak my mind!
Both:
Here we go again, a vicious circle (x4)
Dib:
A musical, it's original,
even for Zim, it's true.
Gaz;
I don't care what he does,
do you need to drag me along too
It's getting so predicable.
Dib:
We're defending the earth now Gaz,
the alien is so going down!
Both:
Here we go again, a vicious circle... (X2)
