Ami loved karaoke, so she got up and smiling, sang.

Billy chimed in with:

The Mississippi Squirrel Revival (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOIR0Wx-ikA)

Well, when I was a kid I'd take a trip every summer down the Mississippi
To visit my granny in her antebellum world
I'd run barefooted all day long climbin' trees free as a song
And one day I happened to catch myself a squirrel
Well, I stuffed him down in an old shoe box, punched a couple of holes in the top
And when Sunday came I snuck him into Church
I was sittin' way back in the very last pew showin' him to my good buddy Hugh
When that squirrel got loose and went totally berserk
Well, what happened next is hard to tell
Some thought it was heaven others thought it was hell
But the fact that something was among us was plain to see
As the choir sang "I Surrender All" the squirrel ran up Harv Newlan's coveralls
Harv leaped to his feet and said, "Somethin's got a hold on me", Yeow!

Chorus

The day the squirrel went berserk
In the First Self-Righteous Church
In the sleepy little town of Pascagoula
It was a fight for survival that broke out in revival
They were jumpin' pews and shoutin' Hallelujah!

Well, Harv hit the aisles dancin' and screamin'
Some thought he had religion others thought he had a demon
And Harv thought he had a weed eater loose in his Fruit-Of-The-Looms
He fell to his knees to plead and beg and the squirrel ran out of his britches leg
Unobserved to the other side of the room
All the way down to the amen pew where sat Sister Bertha better-than-you
Who'd been watchin' all the commotion with sadistic glee
But you should've seen the look in her eyes
When that squirrel jumped her garters and crossed her thighs
She jumped to her feet and said "Lord have mercy on me"
As the squirrel made laps inside her dress
She began to cry and then to confess to sins that would make a sailor blush with shame
She told of gossip and church dissension but the thing that got the most attention
Was when she talked about her love life and then she started naming names

Chorus

The day the squirrel went berserk
In the First Self-Righteous Church
In that sleepy little town of Pascagoula
It was a fight for survival that broke out in revival
They were jumpin' pews and shoutin' Hallelujah!

Well seven deacons and the pastor got saved,
Twenty-five thousand dollars was raised and fifty volunteered
For missions in the Congo on the spot
Even without an invitation there were at least five hundred rededications
And we all got baptized whether we needed it or not
Now you've heard the bible story I guess
How he parted the waters for Moses to pass
Oh the miracles God has wrought in this old world
But the one I'll remember 'til my dyin' day
Is how he put that Church back on the narrow way
With a half crazed Mississippi squirrel

Chorus

The day the squirrel went berserk
In the First Self-Righteous Church
In the sleepy little town of Pascagoula
It was a fight for survival that broke out in revival
They was jumpin' pews and shoutin' Hallelujah!

Re: SING!

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

Please allow me to introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
Ive been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith
And I was round when jesus christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around st. petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
Who killed the kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me lucifer
cause Im in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or Ill lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, whats my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, whats my name
I tell you one time, youre to blame
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
Whats me name
Tell me, baby, whats my name
Tell me, sweetie, whats my name
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah

Re: SING!

[the_merriest]

"Ooooh! This looks like fun!" Rikku bounced into the room, clapping her hands.

She got up and started flipping through the songs, realizing she didn't know most of them, but hey! When did that ever stop her?

So she picked one of the early ones. ABBA? Sounded fun!

And how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I loooooooose!

Waterloo!
I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo!
Promised to love me forever more
Waterloo!
Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo!
Knowing my fate is to be with you

It's loud and slightly off-key, but it's definitely rollicking.

Re: SING!

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori decided to get up and sing. It seemed like fun, at least when everyone else sang. She decided to sing one of her new favorite songs.

Suddenly I See (http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/kttunstall/suddenlyisee.html)

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine
Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

Re: SING!

[the_merriest]

I am so, so sorry about this.

This singing thing was fun! She flipped through some more and hey, that one - okay, she totally had to give it a whirl. The name, even.

He was a boy, she was a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
He was a punk, she did ballet
What more can I say?

He wanted her, she'd never tell
Secretly she wanted him as well
All of her friends stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes

He was a skater boy, she said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face, but her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth

More loud, off-key, cheerful singing from Rikku? Always.

Re: SING!

[the_merriest]

Rikku and Tori are reprising that ABBA classic, "Waterloo." It was for science! And to figure out what the heck the words were supposed to be about.

And if you're anywhere near the stage, you may get dragged in for a chorus. Because Waterloo is for sharing.

My my! At Waterloo, Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah! And I have met my destiny in such a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itsellllllllllllllllllf ...

Re: SING!

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

Naomi got up and sang.

The Seekers - Morningtown Ride (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=977EA8DC218201B2)

Train whistle blowing, makes a sleepy noise,
Underneath their blankets go all the girls and boys.

Rocking, rolling, riding, out along the bay,
All bound for Morningtown, many miles away.

Driver at the engine, fireman rings the bell,
Sand man swings the lantern, to show that all is well.

Rocking, rolling, riding, out along the bay,
All bound for Morningtown, many miles away.

Maybe it is raining where our train will ride;
All the little travellers are warm and snug inside.

Rocking, rolling, riding, out along the bay,
All bound for Morningtown, many miles away.

Somewhere there is sunshine, somewhere there is day,

Somewhere there is Morningtown, many miles away.

Rocking, rolling, riding, out along the bay,
All bound for Morningtown, many miles away.

Rocking, rolling, riding, out along the bay,
All bound for Morningtown, many miles away.

All bound for Morningtown, many miles away.

Ranma nervously gripped the microphone and nearly fumbled in as wracked his brains to remember the song completely. He stutters slightly at the begining and finishes in his soft and comforting tone.

Nen nen kororiyo okororiyo
Boyawa yoikoda nenneshina

Boyano komoriwa dokoe it ta
Anoyama koete satoe it ta

Sato no miyage ni nani morata
Denden taikoni sho no fue

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Nervously, Setsuna took the floor and the mic and had this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE_ZDs9xsTc) song to sing:

Sabishii yoru hitomi wo tojite ano goro no yume wo miteta

PRESENTS!

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Sing of good things, not bad.

Re: PRESENTS!

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy left a small wrapped box (http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/asianideas_1939_28179176) on the present table.

Re: PRESENTS!

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori placed one small box (http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B0002PELY4.01-AZKTLL36FRQDN._AA280_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg) and a somewhat larger box (http://www.mandarava.com/a1grph/Agph/A_graphics/ARTSUM6659.jpg) on the table, where the presents were to be dropped off.

Re: PRESENTS!

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

Naomi had already given Ami her present but she had a homemade card for her so she left that where the presents were.

Re: PRESENTS!

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

In the neatly wrapped present, simple but still pretty, there awaited several (http://www.t-shirts.com/printed/default.asp?sid=256817921102&cmd=detail&type=I&item_id=8888) gifts (http://www.jbox.com/PRODUCT/EHP-AIN30WBU) for Ami (http://www.jbox.com/PRODUCT/FK094).

There was also a card, a really cute one, with a simple: //"Happy birthday, Ami-chan"// written inside in impeccible Japanese.

EAT DRINK AND BE MERRY!

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Sing of happy, not sad.

Re: PRESENTS!

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami came over and gave Billy a hug. //"You are awesome."//

Re: EAT DRINK AND BE MERRY!

[the_merriest]

"Ami!" Rikku waved. "I've been looking for you but you've been sick, I'm so glad you're better, I got you something but it's not for your birthday, oh my gosh, THANK YOU!"

She bounced and clapped her hands excitedly, not realizing that Ami probably had no idea what she was talking about.

Re: EAT DRINK AND BE MERRY!

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori helped herself to some soda and a bit of food, glad for the party. She smiled, making a mental note to praise Billy for a job well done.

Re: EAT DRINK AND BE MERRY!

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

Naomi had decided that she should really be at her roomie's party and she was there despite the fact that the mun had only just pinged in</strike.

Re: EAT DRINK AND BE MERRY!

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna felt nervous as she showed up for Ami's birthday party, bouncing a little because, yay! Ami's birthday!

Re: EAT DRINK AND BE MERRY!

John of the bottomless stomach and mostly happy was there.
